STAR talks the Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday, Jamie Carrillo taping a phone conversation with her sexual predator and struggling to roll a blunt with his girlfriend in a NYC hotel.

Radio legend Troi Torain (STAR) always delivers hard-hitting objective truth. As a culture critic he is vicious, as a businessman he is relentless, as a luminary he is un-matched.

Considered a radio pioneer by many, STAR has set precedents on the urban landscape and was recently inducted into News One's "Top 20 Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time."

STAR & BUC WILD made the national stage on MTV (1999) but it was their radio show on New York's Hot 97 and Power 105 (2000 - 2006) that secured their place in Hip-Hop history.

Torain's resume includes The Source magazine, MTV Networks, Hot 97, Power 104.1, Power 105.1, Pulse 87, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50, 100.3 The Beat, shot97.com and VH1 (The Gossip Game).

This clip is from STAR's LIVE show (12noon -- 2pm) on http://shot97.com.

Suge Knight is back in trouble with the law. The former Death Row Records head honcho blew off court today and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest, according to TMZ.

Knight has a history of skipping out on court appearances. Cops pulled him over in Beverly Hills last September for driving without license plates. A routine check revealed he had a warrant out for his arrest for failing to appear in court in another case.

He was arrested, released and ordered to make a court appearance today. Cops are now looking for him. When they catch up with him, he will be hauled back to jail with bail set at $26,000.

Katy Perry nabs the cover of the February issue of GQ magazine. In addition to a fantastic photo shoot by Peggy Sirota, the "I Kissed a Girl" singer sits down for a chat with Amy Wallace

On her breasts:

“I lay on my back one night and looked down at my feet, and I prayed to God. I said, ‘God, will you please let me have boobs so big that I can’t see my feet when I’m lying down?’ ” At age 11, “God answered my prayers,” she says, glancing south. “I had no clue they would fall into my armpits eventually.”

On discovering she could make money from her singing.

“I’d go to the farmers’ market in Santa Barbara, and I’d put out my guitar case, and I’d test out these little ditty songs that I would write, and I would get a couple of avocados, a bag of pistachios, and, like, fifteen bucks. That was a lot of money for me.”

On President Obama and astrology

“I see everything through a spiritual lens,” she says. “I believe in a lot of astrology. I believe in aliens. I look up into the stars and I imagine: How self-important are we to think that we are the only life-form? I mean, if my relationship with Obama gets any better, I’m going to ask him that question. It just hasn’t been appropriate yet. I might have won Wisconsin for him,” she says. “Actually, I didn’t do too much, but he called on me a couple of times. Which was very nice.”

28-year old Jamie Carrillo was the victim of sexual abuse starting at the age of 12 at the hands of her former basketball coach, Andrea Cardosa.

The abuse began at Chemawa Middle School in Riverside, California. It lasted until Carrillo was 18-years old. Carrillo claims Cardosa would frequently take her on out of town trips to have sex with her.

Jamie Carrillo

“She just completely manipulated me into thinking that I needed her and I wanted it,” Carrillo said. "Everything was stolen from me."


Cardosa would threaten suicide if her secret was revealed, according to Carrillo.

Carrillo says it took her years to confront her abuser. By the time she worked up the courage she thought Cardosa would not be prosecuted because the statute of limitations was up. So instead, Carrillo tracked down her former abuser at her new job as an assistant principle at Alhambra High School in Alhambra, California, and confronted her via a phone call.

During the call Cardosa admits to the abuse and said she regretted it. The videotaped call was posted on YouTube on Friday (January 17). Within hours administrators at Alhambra High School were made aware of it and Cardosa resigned.

"I want her to be in jail and to pay for what she's done." Carrillo told KTLA.

Riverside police are investigating the matter because that's where the abuse started.

Carrillo could get into trouble for recording the conversation. In California it's illegal to record someone on the phone without their consent. But it's unlikely Carrillo will be prosecuted.

**UPDATE** February 4th

Andrea Michelle Cardosa is now in police custody following the posting of her YouTube confession by sexual assault victim Jamie Carrillo. Another 18-year old woman, identified only as Brianna, has also come forward in connection with the case, alleging sexual abuse. She said Carrillo's video prompted her to come forward.

Cardosa was arrested Monday (February 3), according to CNN. The Riverside County District Attorney's Office has charged her with 16 felonies. She's accused of abusing the 2 women between 1997-2010. She faces 11 counts of lewd acts on a child and five counts of aggravated sexual assault on a child. Her bond is set at $5 million.

Cardosa's lawyer, Randy Collins, is working to reduce his client's bail. He issued a written statement on the matter.

"Fortunately, our justice system requires more than a YouTube video to determine the facts of a case. As we proceed, I am certain that evidence will shed new light on all charges filed by the D.A.'s office against my client."

Cardosa faces life in prison if convicted of the aggravated sexual assault counts.

At the end of the day it always seems to boil down to money. TMZ is reporting that the 18-year old man who got beat down last week by Kanye West in Beverly Hills after threatening to kill Kim Kardashian and calling her a "n*gger lover" wants money to avoid a trial.

The teenagers lawyer approached West's camp asking for several hundred thousand dollars to settle the case out of court. The two sides are reportedly negotiating a civil settlement.

As we previously reported, the fight with the teen went down Monday (January 13) at the office of chiropractor Richard Hill. After being verbally abused and threatened by the man, Kim called Kanye, who made his way to the office. Witnesses say he punched the teen at least 30 times before being pushed off of him and told to leave the office.

It's probably best for Kanye to make this case go away quickly. The last thing he wants is more legal trouble. He is already being sued by photographer Daniel Ramos for an altercation that went down at Los Angeles International Airport last August.

Ramos is being represented by attorney Gloria Allred.

**UPDATE** January 28

Kanye West and his lawyer Shawn Holley have reached a financial settlement with the 18-year old man who got smacked up by West for threatening to kill and hurled racial slurs at Kim Kardashian. TMZ reports that the teen will receive $250,000 in exchange for not pursuing a criminal case against the rapper.

The district attorney is still mulling whether or not to press charges against West, but without their star witness they have no case and will likely pack it in.

Money obviously talks, it's just a shame a guy will profit handsomely for being a dirt bag.
