Out of all of the original members of Destiny’s Child, LaTavia Roberson seems to be the one that we hear from the least. It looks like that is about to change very soon though, as the 31-year-old Houston native has some major news. According to the YBF, the singer is penning a tell-all book, filming for a new reality show, and is three months pregnant with her first child!

A press release distributed by Roberson’s reps reveals that the reality show will document LaTavia’s pregnancy, including whatever issues she is facing with her child’s father. While the man who fathers her unborn child currently remains nameless, the release did specify that he is a producer in Atlanta. Ironically, her baby is due on September 4th, former group member Beyoncé’s birthday. The singer will also tackle some demons from her past including the molestation that she endured in her younger years, her bouts with alcoholism and serving time in prison. Roberson is said to finally be opening up about Destiny’s Child drama as well.

“Her struggles to distance herself from the negativity surrounding her untimely departure from Destiny’s Child, still follow her, but LaTavia is determined to clear the air once and for all,” revealed the press release.

Her show is set to be executive produced by Carlos King, who is responsible for producing popular shows like Real Housewives of Atlanta and Real Housewives of New Jersey.

“I’m excited to work with LaTavia to effectively tell her story on television. This is her first time speaking out about her past. This woman has endured more than the public even realizes, and once they hear half of it, they will be in awe. She is a true survivor,” said King about working with 1/4 of the original Destiny’s Child.

Last but not least, the press release confirmed rumors that LaTavia is in fact working on a tell-all book that is scheduled to be released this year, in addition to solo music.

“Future plans also include returning to the studio to showcase her voice for the first time as a solo artist and the final release of her highly anticipated “tell all” memoir due later this year!”

Roberson says it’s nothing but love and support flowing between she and former Destiny’s Child group members, but inquiring minds want to know whether or not this will change once her book is released. It’s not uncommon for friends to become foes once secrets are leaked.

It will be very interesting to hear from LaTavia after all of these years. It’s great that she is reemerging on the spotlight, but I do wonder how she will manage all of her fabulous projects with a new baby on the way. But you know what they say, “where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

What do you think of LaTavia’s decision to write a tell-all? Would you tune in to her reality show?

In case you were actually waiting around for Karrine Steffans to finish composing her super emotional and most likely über explicit memoir about her relationship with Lil Wayne, it looks like there will be another Hip Hop tell-all book hitting the streets soon to hold you over. At least until Karrine is done pouring out her soul on the pages of How To Make Love To A Martian. It seems that “Love and Hip Hop” star Winter Ramos, whom we will learn more about during tonight’s episode, is planning to release a tell-all book of her own entitled Game Over: My Love for Hip Hop. If you’re having a hard time recalling which one Winter is, she’s the one who made a couple of cameos last season as the assistant of rapper Fabolous.

The memoir is said to shed light on what it was like for her working in the music industry and of course, expose a few of her famous former lovers. The book’s description reads:

In Game Over, Winter puts all of her emotions on the page leaving no experience, emotional abuse, or former lover uncovered. From her days as assistant to rapper, Fabolous and friend to Jadakiss, to appearing on Love and Hip Hop and being Creative Costume Designer for Flavor unit Films, Winter delivers a tell-all book on her famous ex-lovers and experiences in the music industry. As the chick that was always in the mix and cool with everyone, Winter was privy to the cray beyond the videos, private flights, and limos that the cameras caught for us. Her reality and theirs was no game. Game Over is Winter’s cautionary tale for the next generation of young women who believe that the fabulous lives of celebrities unveiled in blogs and on reality television shows are all FIRE! Stay tuned, because this GAME is about to get real.

During tonight’s episode, she introduces herself in a rather questionable way that somewhat implies that she plans on spilling a lot of tea.

“I’m Winter Ramos. You guys may know me as Fab’s assistant, but I’ve been in the music industry for a really long time. I’ve worked with Puff Daddy, Biggie Smalls, Junior Mafia, DMX, Eve, Ja Rule, Ashanti, Irv Gotti… I’ve dated these guys, I’ve slept with them, I’ve worked for them. I know the girlfriend, I know the baby mother, I know the wife. I even know the side chick.”

She also revealed that her “friend” Jadakiss, who is also a rather large part of the book is actually the one who suggested that she pen the tell-all. The book’s release date is April 2nd.

Many feel that the whole concept of women coming out and exposing industry insiders is completely played. But I believe that for every tell-all, there’s a nosy person who will buy it.

Check out a sneak peek of tonight’s episode on the next page to see Winter discuss her book. Are you at all interested in what she has to say in her book?

Chris Brown and Raz B have already shared some nasty twitter exchanges in the past but Breezy is threatening legal action now that the former B2K singer isn’t just talking ish anymore, he wrote it down in a book.

In what can only be described as a money making ploy—because no one cares enough about him otherwise—Raz B is releasing a memoir titled, This Boy’s Life, but he’s doing a lot more than talking about himself and the past molestation claims at the hands of B2K manager Chris Stokes. He’s outing several male celebrities like Omarion and the rest of his band; Lil Bow Wow, who he says was involved in sexual relationships with other B2K members; and he also says Marques Houston molested him.

His claims against Breezy go just a tad bit further, though. In one section of the book he wrote:

“I’ve never had issues with substances; even when I was at my lowest. I always thank God I never had a serious addiction like the Weezy’s [Lil Wayne] and the Breezy’s [Chris Brown].”

Then he adds:

“What type of man hits a woman? A man that does not honor womanhood or the fragility of it. I also read that most men who beat women have latent homosexual tendencies. So there you go.”

Really Raz? Breezy had about the equivalent of his “Good Morning America” flip out on Twitter when he heard about the accusations.

“Lying about somebody in a book is called defamation of character,” he tweeted. “Keep feeding people bulls**t and ima end up owning you and that book! RAZ B! God bless… My lawyers are handling it! Lol ima chill!”

Interesting no one else has spoken up about the book, although for Lil Wayne there would be no point. We all know he loves his purple drank. Raz B’s book comes out in September so there will likely be another media firestorm around that time, if anyone still cares at that point. I get wanting to share your molestation experience—somewhat—but outing other people, whether it’s true or not, is not cool.

What do you think about this book and what Raz B is claiming?

There’s another tell-all in the works about the Obamas, and though this isn’t the first time an author tried to blow the lid on the couple’s model image and their dealings in the White House,  The Amateur, by former New York Times Magazine editor Edward Klein, appears to air a little dirty laundry about some unsuspecting characters.

The New York Post just published two excepts from the upcoming book. The first delves into President Obama’s relationship with controversial preacher Jeremiah Wright, but the more interesting of the two is one about Michelle Obama and her desire to make sure Barack remains faithful during his presidency. The book says:

“Michelle makes it clear to her inner circle, and this certainly includes Valerie [Jarrett], that she wants women around Barack watched and wants info about who he has an eye for and gets touchy with,” this person continued. ‘The thing is, she knows, like everybody, about JFK’s shenanigans, and she thinks, hey, JFK was young and good looking like my guy.”

It’s not just temptresses that Michelle is worried about either. She supposedly has a particular beef with Oprah and doesn’t think Barack needs to align himself with the media mogul so much. Michelle was quoted as telling her staff:

“Oprah only wants to cash in, using the White House as a backdrop for her show to perk up her ratings. Oprah, with her yo-yo dieting and huge girth, is a terrible role model. Kids will look at Oprah, who’s rich and famous and huge, and figure it’s OK to be fat.”

Oprah supposedly went through the roof when she heard about Michelle’s remarks but:

“As far as Michelle was concerned, Oprah’s billions and her elite lifestyle disqualified her as an adviser to Barack, who had no truck with wealthy people, except as a source of campaign contributions, and was a redistributionist at heart.”

The book also tries to paint the first lady as a jealous woman who’s less concerned about Oprah’s fame and more worried about her potentially having some ulterior motives.

“Michelle is furious that her husband makes late-night calls to Oprah, seeking ideas on how to improve his sinking popularity,” the source told me. “Michelle thinks he should turn to her, not Oprah, for that kind of advice. What’s more, Michelle suspects that at one point Oprah secretly encouraged Hillary to consider a run against Barack in the 2012 Democratic primaries.

The source added that “Barack just laughs at the idea and so does Oprah. But Michelle still believes Oprah has been getting too close to Hillary, whom Michelle calls ‘a snake.’ ”
