HOT 97 FIRES MISS JONES....

New York radio station Hot 97 has fired morning drive talk show host Tarsha Jones (Miss Jones) and replaced her with radio personality Big Boy and MTV Entertainment reporter Luscious Liz Hernandez. "Big Boy has an unmatched reputation for being entertaining… he also has great relationships with artists," said Hot 97 programming director Ebro Darden. "Putting Big Boy on Hot 97 in New York City helps keep the high standard of radio happening for us." According to Darden, Miss Jones will work all of next week which will allow her enough time to bid farewell to her listeners. "Miss Jones is one of the hardest working radio people I have ever seen and she made history with Hot 97," said Darden. "Miss Jones will have the mic in mornings all of next week so that she is given her proper respect to tell her listeners how much she appreciates them and reminisce about how great this program has been." Miss Jones was recently named in a federal lawsuit filed by New York lawyer Kevin Hunter. It claimed rival radio personality Wendy Williams and her husband tried to hire a hitman to knock her off. It doesn't sound like she was fired to me. It sounds like she quit due to the Wendy drama. If she was sacked, they'd probably have taken her off air straight away, like any other job. Whatever the reasons are for her dismissal her feisty yet vibrant personality will surely be missed. I'm pretty certain this isn't the last we'll be hearing from the former R&B singer. I know Tina Knowles must be extremely happy at this calling, lol.
