Below are pics of actor Hill Harper and his close friend Gabrielle Union hosting a night at Tao night club inside the Venetian hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada earlier this week. For the past couple of years, these two have been the subject of endless rumors alleging that they are more than just friends. Suffice it to say they have still remained close friends. So close in fact that Hill sought Gabrielle to write the foreword in his new book, Letters to a Young Sister....a follow-up to his award winning national bestseller, Letters to a Young Brother. In Letters to a Young Sister (which hits bookstores on June 3, 2008), Hill, who currently stars in CSI: NY, shares his powerful wisdom for young women everywhere, drawing on the courageous advice of the female role models who transformed his life.
According to amazon.com, Letters to a Young Sister unfolds as a series of letters written by older brother Hill to a universal Young Sistah. She’s up against the same challenges as every young woman: from relating to her parents and dealing with peer pressure, to juggling schoolwork and crushes and keeping faith in the face of heartache. In his straight-talking style, Hill helps his young sister build self-confidence, self-reliance, self-respect, and encourages her on her journeys towards becoming a strong and successful woman. The book also includes contributions from admirable women like Angela Basset, Ciara, Michelle Obama, Tatyana Ali, Nikki Giovanni, Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrikck, Eve, Malinda Williams, Kim Porter, and more. Includes a Foreword by Gabrielle Union.

Word around the web is that rapper/actress Eve was reportedly embroiled in a fight in Los Angeles on Thursday (3.20.2008) night, during which a young woman was allegedly "pushed down a flight of stairs". The raptress star was enjoying a night out with a group of friends at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel when she was confronted by another female outside the venue. The women are said to have exchanged words before the altercation became physical - although it is unclear who instigated the violence, according to the New York Post's gossip column PageSix. However, the two parties managed to settle their differences and avoided getting the police involved. A source tells the publication, "It got physical... one of the girls Eve was yelling at was pushed down a flight of stairs either by Eve or one of her posse, but they calmed her down and cops weren't called." A representative for Eve has yet to comment on the claims.
The next time Vivica A. Fox, Nicole Richie, Eve or Lindsay Lohan even think about getting behind the wheel while intoxicated, they should have Diddy's soon-to-be new car service phone number programmed into their cell phone, sidekick, razor, iphone, CB, walkie-talkie, pigeon-carrier or whatever other mode of communication they have on hand. The mogul says he has it up to *placing arm above my head* here with celebrities climbing behind the wheels of their expensive cars after a night of imbibing, only to catch either a DUI case, or worse, a manslaughter charge and hard time. The Bad Boy Entertainment founder says he wants to start a car service specifically for celebrities who are too drunk to drive. The idea was inspired by his deal with Ciroc vodka to revamp the brand and oversee its marketing. "After partnering with Ciroc vodka, he wants to make sure everyone's partying responsibly," his representative said in a statement to ABCNews.com. In 2007, Paris Hilton, Lohan, Richie, Fox and Mischa Barton were all nabbed for DUI-related offenses.
