*Whoopi Goldberg announced Thursday that she will host the 62nd Annual Tony Awards, to be presented June 15 and broadcast live on CBS from Radio City Music Hall, 8-11 p.m. ET. An Academy Award-winning actress and co-host on ABC's "The View," Goldberg has appeared on Broadway in Whoopi, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
*Kim Kardashian has filed a response to the lawsuit against her by Brandy and Ray J's mother Sonja Norwood, who claimed that the reality show star and her family purchased unauthorized items on her American Express card while she worked for the Norwoods as a stylist in 2004. Kim K. denies the allegations in her filing, according to TMZ.com. In her lawsuit, Sonja Norwood said she gave Kardashian permission to use the card to make one purchase, but the socialite ended up buying several items totaling $120,635.65.
*Newlyweds Jay-Z and Beyonce reportedly honeymooned secretly at a luxury resort in the Arizona desert, according to reports. OK! magazine claims the couple escaped to the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain resort a week after jumping the broom. A source at the resort, where a two-night stay costs $8,000, tells OK! magazine: "Beyonce looked stunning, even though she was wearing no make-up. They looked so in love and so happy."
*The New York Post is reporting that former New York Knicks player Charles Oakley is trying to launch his own cooking show called "Café Oakley." He's joined by his former teammate John Starks for one of the three episodes already taped. They cooked fried chicken and macaroni salad, pasta and sausages, and smothered steak and rice. Ingredients for Oak's beef short ribs in cinnamon wine sauce include 18 beers and two or three Cuban cigars, and the directions begin, "Drink 10 beers."
*The economic plight of the deejay within the music industry is to be the focus of a three day event in Washington, D.C. this summer with rallies and activities beginning Aug. 28. The event will culminate in a Million DJ March from the Capitol Building to the Washington Monument on Aug. 30. Plans for an organized union, representing deejays and their push for 401Ks and gig compensation security, is expected to be introduced.
