Wednesday's Gossip
Rapper Busta Rhymes once proposed to Hot-97 FM radio host Tarsha Jones in the sack.
"With Busta, it was only sex," Jones writes in her tell-all "Have You Met Miss Jones? The Life and Loves of Radio's Most Controversial Diva" (Ballantine). "I learned not to trust a proposal of marriage made in bed."
The rapper gets one great big compliment in the motor-mouthed memoir. "Busta was as gentle as he could be, because he was packing," Jones writes. "Busta's lovemaking was not for the timid or faint of heart."
But, Jones adds, "The fact that our lovemaking never lasted too long didn't bother me, because I didn't enjoy his drops of sweat raining down on me."
Afterward, "Busta would stroll around the apartment butt-naked, then shower and go into the kitchen and fry an egg sandwich - for himself. I guess I should be grateful. It's not like he didn't offer me a bite." Of the sandwich.
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 ***" 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 *****," Jones writes in the book, which she'll sign at Borders on Columbus Circle next Wednesday night.

Paris Hilton made up for lost time the other night. She and sis Nicky hit Les Deux in Hollywood and, according to our spy, "Paris drank heavily all night." Despite a rep's claims that she never touched a bottle, Paris downed vodka cocktails until "her eyes were glazed over," says our snitch. ********************************
Charlie Sheen's new fiancée can't make up her mind on a career. Us Weekly reports that the "Two and a Half Men" star gave a half-million-dollar ring to gal pal Brooke Mueller, who calls herself a real-estate investor. But under the name Brooke Allen, the 29-year-old beauty is filming "Strictly Sexual," in which two young women keep two guys in their poolhouse just for sexual purposes. Given his sordid past, that sounds like a plot Charlie's likely to fully embrace.

THE life and times of home electronics peddler "Crazy Eddie" Antar may soon become a major movie, thanks to Danny DeVito and his Jersey Films.
DeVito and several other producers are hot for Antar's story after recently seeing him on CNBC being confronted by his cousin, Sam Antar, whose testimony sent Eddie to federal prison for 7½ years.
"You brought us up to be crooks, Eddie. Everything I became came from you, Eddie," Sam - the company's chief financial officer, who hadn't spoken to Eddie in 20 years - told his cousin.
"Now I don't blame myself, but every- thing I became I learned from you," Sam said. "Don't try to control the topic of conversation. You're not a big [bleep] anymore, Eddie. You're a two-bit thug just like I am. So stop playing games."
Crazy Eddie started with one discount electronics store in Brooklyn and ended up with 43 outlets in the Northeast with annual sales of $350 million. Anyone who was in the tri-state area in the 1970s and '80s still remembers the hard-sell TV and radio spots where a frenetic announcer claimed his prices were "in-saaaaaane."
During the glory years, Sam told CNBC, "There was so much money everywhere; in the ceilings, under the mattresses, in the closets. There was so much cash skimmed that we didn't know where to put it."
The success story went sour when Eddie took the company public in 1987 and the feds charged him with conspiracy and racketeering in an $80 million stock fraud.
"Eddie skipped town and Sam, all alone, was forced to testify against his own family to avoid prison," said reporter Herb Greenberg, who reunited the two cousins last month for the dramatic on-air confrontation.
"Eddie never lost control at all except to tell Sam once, 'Don't point your finger in my face when you are talking to me,' " one of Eddie's childhood friends from Brooklyn said of the on-air confrontation .
The movie would cover the four years Eddie spent on the lam, his first marriage, which produced five daughters, and his second, which produced a son. And it might even show his human side.
"Eddie is a great guy," his friend told Page Six. "He put a pediatrician friend in Brooklyn in private practice. He bought childhood friends cars, gave them jobs, paid for funerals. He was very generous."

USHER'S walk down the aisle with his pregnant stylist-turned-fiancée, Tameka Foster, is going to happen soon. We hear they plan to wed at a private house in the Hamptons by the end of this month, not in the fall as they've said in the past. "They want to get married before she gives birth," our source said. A rep for Usher didn't return calls.
******************************** PERKY reporter Amy Jacobson, who worked for Chicago's NBC station WMAQ-TV and also does stories for "Today," was let go yesterday by the Windy City station after videotapes showed her in a bikini at the home of a woman whose mysterious disappearance she was covering. Tapes made by rival CBS station WBBM showed Jacobson at the backyard pool of Lisa Stebic, who vanished on April 30. She was with Stebic's estranged husband, Craig, whom police have questioned in the case. Neighbors told WBBM that Jacobson has visited the Stebic house "frequently" since she began covering the story.
