Have You Met Miss Jones?: The Life and Loves of Radio's Most Controversial Diva

Hot 97 radio personality Tarsha Jones is ready to tell all, just like Karrine Stephens, in her new book Have You Met Miss Jones?: The Life and Loves of Radio's Most Controversial Diva. She appears to be an adamant Beyonce Hater. In her book Jones goes on to call Beyoncé “barrel-a-d” and says her “acting leaves something to be desired.” She then claims that when she first met Beyoncé’s fiancé, Jay-Z, “he turns and stares at my ass” and made a sexual remark. There’s plenty of drama, too. When Jones lived in the same apartment building as the Notorious B.I.G., his lover Lil’ Kim begged Jones to let her in to confront the rapper’s wife, Faith Evans, she claims. When Russell Simmons comes on her radio show, she writes, “he launches into a blistering 10-minute promotion of 26 products he’s created in the last two days.” Rival deejay Wendy Williams is, of course, not spared. “After all of her years in radio, [she] has not elevated above curb level in terms of paving the way for other women in radio. Disappointing.” And when Mary J. Blige fell onstage during Hot-97’s Summer Jam last year, Jones was glad, because Blige forgot to thank her at the mike. “Karma is a bitch,” Jones writes in the book, which she’ll sign at Borders on Columbus Circle next Wednesday night.
