Panache Report 05/11/08 "Rappers & Adult Stars/DL Actors"

**Honey** · May 12th, 2008, 03:06 AM

#1:
Numerous rappers make the trek to Las Vegas in March each year to attend the AVN (Adult Video News) Awards. This is the X-rated version of the Oscars televised on Showtime television. Tickets sell out in hours.
Mainstream press usually reports the rappers in attendance but a lot of rappers go unnoticed.
The particular rapper and his crew descend on the Adult Expo and the awards show each year via private jet. They flash a lot of money and bling.
They hit the strip with a vengeance by checking out all the top strip clubs and casinos. They love to make it rain.
The leader of the pack has been suspected of murdering at least two men, but the authorities lack evidence for an arrest.
The crew rents a penthouse, supplies it with liquor (Dom, Cristal) and drugs: meth, cocaine and ecstasy. They also pay "up and coming" female adult stars to attend.
After a midnight BBQ the party usually turns into an all night orgy with everyone stripping off their clothes. Rated X movies are also screened, usually girl/girl with rappers gathering around to watch.
The leader usually pays a big adult star top dollar to strut around the party with him and to have sex with him. He hooks this up a day earlier when he attends the expo, while a particular star is signing autographs, she is offered a dollar amount by one of his reps, the women usually accept once a dollar figure is agreed upon.
According to sources, this crew is seriously fronting and very overextended.
At last year's after party, the "leader of the pack" slept with a white adult actress who-reportedly "now" has a serious STD, according to industry insiders.

#2:
According to Terrance Dean, his friend Sandy was working on a new movie that had major stars in it. The lead was "Lucas," who is a black megastar. No matter what film project he was attached to it was bound to be a box office smash. In Hollywood, he is considered a golden boy and very bankable. However, there were already many rumors swirling about his sexuality and even though he is married, it was hard for him to shake those pesky gay rumors.
"You're not going to believe this," Sandy said when I called her. "What's going on?" "Well, the crew is taking bets on Lucas. "What type of bets?" "Since we've been filming, his boy 'Kareem' comes by every day and they go into the trailer." "So what?" I said. "No, Kareem comes by and they are up in the trailer doing their thing."
Kareem is a leading sitcom actor, married to an actress. They both have appeared in movies but Lucas in the breakout sensation. His boy Kareem, however, found success in television as a leading actor.
The crew's bet was based on how often Lucas "boyfriend" would show up and how long he would stay. It was like clockwork; Kareem arrived each day at the same time and went straight to the trailer for hours on end. The bets grew larger and larger.
When I moved to Los Angeles and got into the DL world, our clique

I'm guessing Samuel L Jackson for #2. Only because I'm guessing the L stands for Lucas. Not the most rock solid theory, but there you go.

#2 is Will Smith. No clue who the sitcom star is.

#1 Suge Knight??

#1. Snoop..tried & acquitted for murder 10 maybe 15 years ago..

**Jupiter Jones** · May 12th, 2008, 11:05 AM

#2. Will Smith and Steve Carell? Carell's wife is billed as an actress/writer.

Maybe not, huh?

Will Smith just wrapped a movie with Jason Bateman, who I always thought was gay. Maybe they started an affair on the set and it carried over to Will's new movie?

Update from Panache:

It isn't Fat Joe for #1.

The second blind is from Terrance Dean's new book Hiding in Hip Hop. He is referring to when he first moved to Hollywood and he wanted to get in with the DL clique. So I'm pretty positive this has to be Will Smith and Duane Martin.

This is the last line from the #2 blind that got cut off:

When I moved to Los Angeles and got into the DL world, our clique was talking about the downlow circle Lucas and Kareem were in-which I wanted to be a part of. But it was a hard nut to crack; they were superstars.

That certainly explains a lot. I couldn't really think of any black tv actor/ comedian who fit the blind as I assumed this was happening currently.

**Meg1884** · May 12th, 2008, 04:01 PM

Yeah but Duane Martin is getting a divorce isn't he?

**blissfullyunaware** · May 12th, 2008, 10:06 PM

I think it's ludacris or nelly for blind item #1 (anyone see the tipdrill video)

Will Smith sounds right for #2, he just seems gay to me. I remember an article I once read where he quoted that it gets boring being propositioned by beautiful women (I wish I can recall what mag

) And he was too convincing in that movie "six degrees of separation".

2. Will Smith *I hope not, though*
Only because it says "golden boy." I consider Sam Jackson all man. (and one who cusses a lot... love that!) LOL. Plus there was a blind that people that was Will Smith about an actor having "trailer visits" from lots of guys...
