Today Nicci Gilbert of TV One’s “R&B Divas” stopped by to discuss her participation in my upcoming “Sister’s Keeper Shut-In” Friday at Clark Atlanta University.

But while she was here, she dropped a BOMB on the listening audience: Nicci announced for the very first time that Brownstone has decided to reunite!

YEAH! They brought us hits such as “Grapevine,” “5 Miles To Empty”  and “If You Love Me.” I am so happy that these girls have worked out whatever issues were going on, and decided to get that PAPER!

“Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” reality star Mimi Faust came by my show this morning to clear the air on some serious rumors that were going on. Yesterday, all over the internet were headlines saying that Stevie J took Mimi to court and got custody of their daughter Eva. There were also allegations of drugs. Mimi wanted to let everyone know the truth about what is really going on. Some highlights were: no, her hair is NOT falling out, Stevie doesn’t have custody and they’ve NEVER been to court, and she introduced us to a very special person in her life, her boyfriend Nikko, and let me tell you, there were certainly fireworks flying in the studio between them!

Well I made the move! It’s been one huge whirlwind. On Thursday January 12th I gave birth to my daughter Kendall. Four weeks after my c-section I was packing my house to prepare for my new chapter in Atlanta. I learned a serious lesson in this experience…..NEVER EVER EVER EVER try to move cross country right after having a baby. I must have thought I was superwoman or something. A sister is worn OUT!!! loll

Nevertheless, I’m excited about this new phase in my career. Atlanta is a beauuuuutiful city with charming people. V103 is a Monster station so this is a big moment. I gotta thank everyone who came out to welcome me to ATL….

Brandy, Monica, Marsha Ambrosius, Musiq Soulchild, Rozanda “Chilli” Thomas, Keith Sweat, Nelly, Toya Wright, Trina Braxton, Waka Flaka Flame, Dr. Steven Perry, Nicole Paultre-Bell, Mona Scott Young and More lent their support for my midday radio show, “On Air With Egypt,”from 10 am- 2 pm.

Marsha Ambrosius called in to not only welcome but me, but revealed that she is hard at work on her new album, the follow up to the Grammy Nominated, “Late Nights Early Mornings.”

Reality TV Star/Author, Toya Wright, “called out” Grammy Award nominated Atlantic Records recording artist, Musiq Soulchild, for standing her up at her wedding to Memphitz Wright. She said Musiq was supposed to sing at the ceremony. I had Musiq give Toya a “make good” with an impromptu serenade live on the air of his smash record “Love.”

Music Superproducer Jazze Pha weighed in on who he thought should play the roles of Whitney Houston & Bobby Brown in a movie about their lives. He also played a new music exclusive from his new artist, Gasner Allen.

Keith Sweat and I led a conversation about President Obama’s recent visit to ATL and the racist bumper stickers that are now being sold in Obama’s name. “Don’t Re-NIG in 2012,” “Lincoln freed the slaves and now Obama is enslaving the free.”

Nelly & Chilli gave their opinions on a phenomenon that has been discussed at length: “Why women can’t seem to find Mr. Right in Atlanta.”

Trina Braxton, Demetria McKinney and I shared details about our childbirth stories. PUUUUUSSSSHHHHH!!! lolol…

Veteran music executive turned reality television producer, Mona Scott Young joined my show to discuss the upcoming season of “Love And Hip Hop: ATL.” She also confirmed that the original cast of “Love And Hip Hop” would have another season, but perhaps Chrissy would not be joining them. Mona eluded that Chrissy and Jim Jones were working on a spin off of the show. She also mentioned that she’d like to possibly do “Love And Hip Hop” Cali next!

Rap’s Most Buzzworthy Newcomer, Waka Flaka Flame, and I laughed about some of the jobs we had as teenagers. I revealed that I used to be Chuck E Cheese in high school…..now that everyone knows that I’ve gotta kill ya! hehehe

This past Thursday I was the host of an exclusive V-103 “Soul Sessions” performance and Q&A session with R&B stars, Brandy and Monica.

Nicole Paultre-Bell, fiance of slain New York City groom-to-be Sean Bell and Dr. Steven Perry, author and CNN education contributor, each called in to share their thoughts on the Trayvon Martin killing. And I witnessed the most amazing thing……6,000 students from Clark, Morehouse, Spellman and Georgia Tech rallied on the steps of  Georgia Capital Building for the “I AM TRAYVON MARTIN” RALLY.

This is only the beginning…

“On Air With Egypt” can now be heard daily Monday-Friday from 10 am-2 pm on 103.5 FM in Atlanta and via the internet at www.V-103.com.

The old saying goes ‘What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander,’ but what if your goose is stingy with theirs? On last night’s episode of “Single Ladies” Val’s (Stacey Dash character) “perfect guy” turned out to be anything but, when in the throws of passion he announced he didn’t “dine on Southern cuisine.” *blank stare* For Val (and most women living in 2011 and not 1920) this was a major no-no and she cut dude loose. See ya!

But could you?

For most, reciprocity is key to ensuring that your partner’s satisfaction is guaranteed, but some people out there are just plain selfish! They want all the perks of good lovin’ without having to give any good lovin’ themselves. As far as these love hogs are concerned, your needs don’t come before theirs between the sheets, and the selfish behavior can go way past the “Southern cuisine” issue.

Have you ever encountered a selfish lover? If you were in Val’s position, would you suck it up and go without? Or would his/her unrefined palette be an absolute dealbreaker?
