Coffee Talk: Star Jones Working on New Novel

Star Jones is writing a new novel called "The Lunch Club" that could read like a thinly veiled tell all about her disappearance from the view. Drake says, "I was a pawn," about his time spent with singer Rihanna. Kanye West will return to the award show circuit via the BET Awards. We're sure there won't be any outbursts this time. Black and Hispanic kids may not be getting the best treatment for asthma. Plus, what if your 16-year-old wanted to take a course on "How to Walk in High Heels?"

  • Remember when rumors of a romance between Rihanna and then burgeoning rap star Drake started swirling. Well Drake says, they did get together, but there’s wasn’t much romance.
“I was a pawn,” the rapper said of his time spent with Rihanna. “She was doing exactly what I’ve done with some many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear. I was like wow, this feels terrible” [MTV]
  • In other RiRi news, the Barbadian beauty talks about her break-up with Chris Brown in the July Issue of Elle.
“He was my best friend,” she said. “All of a sudden one night changed our whole lives — not only our friendship, but our lives. I wanted to wake up one day and just not have that pain anymore. I wanted to be with him again or get over him — it was either-or.” RiRi also gushed about her new beau Matt Kemp. [Marquee]
