Karrine Steffans set both the hip-hop world and Hollywood afire when she penned last year's best-selling Confessions of a Video Vixen. Now Karrine Steffans is ready to rock the world again with what is sure to be her best-selling diaries series follow-up: The Vixen Diaries.

The Vixen Diaries is already causing buzz in many circles, including the publishing world. The so-called Vixen left Amistad/Harper Collins and sold The Vixen Diaries to Warner Books, who signed Karrine Steffans for a two-book deal (the first offering being The Vixen Diaries) in the high six-figure range.

In a Publishers Weekly piece called "Thomas Builds a Black List at Hachette," Felicia Pride wrote that Karen Thomas "lured Video Vixen author Karrine Steffans away from Harper with a high six-figure deal for her next two books."

The Vixen Diaries, Pride wrote, will be packed with all the intriguing details that Steffans didn't cover in Confessions of a Video Vixen, including Karrine's very public relationship with Bill Maher.

According to a MediaBistro article titled "Vixen Quits Amistad for 2-Book Warner Deal," The Vixen Diaries will offer more "details of [Karrine's] explosive world," including "the real deal about Black Hollywood" and "the real story behind" the Hot 97 interview with DJ Miss Jones when hip-hop star Kool G Rap refuted Steffans' story, and ended with Karrine walking out of the room.

Set to appear in September 2007, The Vixen Diaries will be followed by "a spicy, juicy fictionalized account of [Steffans'] life story in the form of a novel."

Perhaps the biggest buzz surrounding The Vixen Diaries is the rumored appearance of a chapter that was left out of Confessions of a Video Vixen, which reportedly includes Karrine's run-ins with Chris Rock, who filed for divorce from his wife of 10 years, Malaak Compton-Rock. (Recent reports, however, have shown Chris and Malaak together, sparking questions of reconciliation.)

Even more controversial than The Vixen Diaries is Karrine Steffans herself, who according to the Palm Beach Post, is pregnant by Bobby Brown, whom Steffans wrote extensively about in Confessions.

I read her first book and i must say in the end I felt sorry for her. But alot of these girls put themselves out there as the jumpoff to these so call man in power. And they get there feelings hurt when that's all it is . JUMPOFFS . What's make the young women black, white, latin. Just put themselves out there to use. And they can't say for the money. Because there are so many other things they could doing. Than letting someone use them. Or fill there heads up. There's this youngwomen some of yall might knew her Angel LA LA. Well she came to or hometown for the first day of highschool don't ask me why. But she was at the high school now if anyone knows this child she is a very pretty black girl body and all.Why was she at the highschool with no draws on ..??? I mean she had this short skirt up to her ass and she wore nothing underneath. I was being text all day about this child. The parents was outrage. I mean what the fuck. And this day age with someone contracting the virus every o

I just wanted to say that her first book was interesting but the second book was so so boring. Yes I do agree with one yall who said that she did it because she wanted to do it. She didnt have to do that to put food on her table for her son. How???? was it all about her or her son. It wasnt about her son cuz she was too busy staying away from home for months fucking while her son home with the damn nanny. As a black women I just find is a disgrace to our race. I know there is other females in the hip hop industry doing the same thing but dont try to get make a come up off of it or spilling the beans on some of our black men either. What she did with these guys should of stayed behind close doors. Karrine Steffans take responsibilities and grow up and start real women to yourself and to your son. Please stop using these men to get fame and money. Sweetie there other ways to get money and it's not always sex either. Use your brain and not your coochie!!!!!!

The second book was terrible. It was ALL about Bill Maher and confirming small, UNINTERESTING stuff like Andy Dick being gay(!) WHO CARES. I feel if Karrine REALLY wanted to better herself & HER SON, she wouldn't of BOUGHT A HOUSE IN THE SAME AREA SHE ALMOST DIED IN! HELLO. Sane people would've moved FAR away from that ISH. I think you are a hypocrite Karrine, yet I feel sorry for how you WERENT raised by your mother(I believe she was malicious to you because of her own shortcomings). How do you HEAL completely from the CESSPOOL if you CONTINUE to live IN THE CESSPOOL?! Come at me boo....

well i just finished the first book and I found the book to be very interesting and entertaining (mainly the name dropping). i must say karrine is getting attacked left and right but what about some of the others who were just as triffling? KOOL G RAP. I havent heard anyone attack him for being such a woman beater. He is a disgusting person for all that he did to her. In addition to her childhood no wonder why shes so lost. However, Im not judging her and I must say the first without sin cast the first stone. A lot of yall got mad shit to say...worry about ya own sins!

well i heard her on foxxhole(jamie foxx radio show) and i thought it was mad funny. they were clowning hard on o'girl but she held her own. as much as we like to ignore the fact, mess sales and everyone want to hear what she has to say. for the record, i most def believe what she has to say about Tigger and the rest. why would she have to lie? the truth hurts but them dudes needs to be real about theirs like she real about hers.

Thats because shes just a lost little girl, confused most of the time. One minute shes claiming to be a "happy and content individual" the next shes mad when people call her by the name that she is known. I dont care what she says as far her son not knowing whats going on. I know for a fact he knows EXACTLY whats going on. Hes 9 years old. My niece thats 5 know sEVERYTHING thats going on, and it is going to severly damage him as a man. Only with the help of God will he make someone a half way decent man. How will he know how to treat a woman, when hes mother is anything but. Im praying for her, that the lord comes into her life and saves her soul before its too late. And Im going to pray for her son thats he is shown the lords word and that it stays with him so he can learn the correct moral way to live. All I can say is I feel sorry for her. Calling her names, criticizing her, judging her, etc. Is not going to help. Try helping and not hurting. Just pray for her

I feel everyones point of view that has been posted on here. I understand that she had to do what she had to do for her son, and all that. I myself have no children, but I am the oldest of 10 kids and would do ANYTHING for them within limits of how the bible wants for me to live my life with moral standards...but thats me. I also dont have a relationship with my mother. In alot of ways I feel very sorry for her because of how she was raised and deprived of that female figure that is supposed to direct her in the way to conduct yourself AS A LADY! Im not judging her, Im not going to even say anything bad about her...Im just going to state the facts. She really isnt happy. It doesnt matter how much money she has made off of IDIOTS, that talk about her so bad and cant stand her as if they know her personally. She isnt happy, not really. It is true, money cant buy you happiness. If you notice everytime she opens her mouth she contradicts herself. Thats because shes juat a lost little girl,
