The BV Newswire has exclusively learned that Ray J is in the final stages of completing his memoir, tentatively titled 'Sex Machine.'
The book, due out next spring via Karen Hunter Publishing/Pocket Books, will detail the hip-hop soul crooner's rise to fame (as a chart-topping recording artist) and infamy (as the co-star of a no-holds-barred, hard-core adult video with alleged Hollywood socialite Kim Kardashian).
Tales of having sex with more than 1,100 women will definitely raise eyebrows for the 26-year-old heart-throb who has been romantically linked to Whitney Houston, Lil' Kim and fellow author Karrine Steffans (a.k.a. Superhead).
Former pop superstar Brandy's little brother will continue to prove he isn't
little anymore with his foray into the literary world.
Family affairs – including his sister's fatal car crash – will also be documented, along with a full exploration of his sexual prowess dating all the way back to his first experience at age 10.
Ray J, legally known as William Raymond Norwood, Jr., is the youngest son of former music artist manager Sonja Bates-Norwood and gospel singer William Raymond Norwood, Snr. They are both devout members of the religious community hailing from McComb, Mississippi.
Hunter, the Pultizer Prize winning best-selling author of books by Wendy Williams, Rev. Al Sharpton, LL Cool J, Mason Betha, JL King, Dr. Donda West, Steffans and Jonathan Plummer, is co-writing the book for hew new imprint, which will be officially launch next week with the release of the controversial title 'Why Black Men Love White Women' by Rajen Persaud.

>>..... we are buying into this racket which is nothing but exploitation and we are showing the world that we are obsessed with behaving like sexual buffoons, and that nothing we do is sacred or off-limits.>>
Ms. McMillan,
I think your comments, especially the one inferred above, smacks of denial on your part. Your books were not that different than those you cited in your comments. Your book and the movie entitled, "Waiting to Exhale," was the equivalent of "sexual buffoons." Let's not forget your "How Stella Got Her Groove." You married a homosexual man half your age --- Hello?!
Just what do you think your books and subsequent movies portrayed? What examples did you set? I dare you attack someone who is on the same par as you doing the same thing for the same reason -- MONEY!!!

Terry McMillan decent people who has other things in life to keep us going would not even spend the money to buy this book.. So, don't upset yourself in thinking that we would take our money and waste it on some bull...t. Who care's who sleep with RJ, Men don't sleep and tell... Only BOY'S.... remember that Men don't tell only BOY'S........... and that thing he slept with I would'nt tell anyone... He surely don't think he slept with a QUEEN... LOOK IN THE MIRROR...WHAT DO HE SEE....UM... IT'S SAD 2 SAY that when we I mean people of color.. think that if u sleep with uncolor people that u have something going on...NO BABY... U DON'T... YOUR MOTHER IS A QUEEN, WHAT DID U WASTE YOUR TIME WITH!!!!!.a LOT OF US IS COLOR BLINDED...ESPECIALLY WHEN WE FELL THE NEED 2 SKIP OVER 2 THE OTHERSIDE... NOBODY LEARN A DAM THING FROM OJ....OUR PEOPLE IS IN A COMATOS STATE OF MIND..WAKE UP PEOPLE...U MAKE THE MONEY AND WHIN UP GIVE IT BACK 2 THE ----- PEOPLE INRICH THEM AGAIN... I COULD SEE IF U WERE DATING THEM WHEN U WAS IN SCHOOL, I COULD DEAL WITH THAT A LITTLE BETTER.. BUT WHEN U MAKE IT 2 HOLLYWOOD AND START LEAVING THE SISTERS BEHIND THINK ABOUT IT...IT'S LIKE U LIVE 2 SEE IF U CAN GO OVER 2 THE OTHER SIDE... THAT'S WHY WE AS PEOPLE WILL NEVER BE NUMBER 1.

I don't believe that many women were willing to sleep with Brandy's little brother! Its not like you can gain fame from doing it, hell, he ain't even famous!!! He's riding on his sister's coattails. And the women that he has claimed to have been with. Who gives a damn about how many people his nasty ass has slept with! All I have to say with is, I hope him and his women have all gotten their AIDS tests!! I wonder what his poor mama thinks!!! Her son running around passing on diseases from person to person! You would think in the year 2007 we would know better! I guess not!!!!

I just like to say that I could tell that Terry McMillan's ex-husband was gay the minute he appeared on television. How Stella Got Her Groove Back was some major false advertising! There is no way that dude looks anything like Taye!! I just wanna know how she didn't spot his sweetness. Her gaydar must have been shut completely down that day!! If his lips stay shinier and wetter than yours, get the hell away from him-pronto!!!!

In this case, I'm glad that our beloved Dr. King (whose birthday we are observing) and Malcolm X aren't alive to see this disgraceful behavior turned into literature. Those were real men who had important things to say to our communities, and who were willing to die for what they believed in. Buy their books instead of this perversion.
And whoever slept with Ray J at the age of 10, if they were an older teen or adult woman, they should be locked up and the key thrown away. It's a shame for these young boys and girls to be sexually violated at such a young age, and all the ignorant people around them consider it a rite of passage. God have mercy! No wonder they grow up to become young adults with warped attitudes about sex, and not valuing themselves. Ray J needs prayer for deliverance, indeed!
