A federal judge in Philadelphia has set March 29 as the trial date in a $250,000 defamation suit filed against the talk-show host by the former headmistress of Winfrey’s South Africa-based girls academy.

According to eonline.com,U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno ruled against a motion by Team Oprah to dismiss the complaint brought by Nomvuyo Mzaname. Instead, hizzoner ruled there was sufficient evidence of “capable defamatory meaning” within the allegations that the case should go before a jury.

Mazamane, 40, claims she was defamed by Winfrey at a 2007 press conference after news surfaced about a sex-abuse scandal at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls near Johannesburg.

Stacey Dash has had everybody’s tongues wagging since she came out of hiding and appeared arm-in-arm with Jamie Foxx at the Oscars.

She even sat down with Wendy Williams and talked about everything including sleeping with all three of her husbands on their first date, why she’s keeping her sex on lockdown, if she and Jamie are officially an “item,” and why she hasn’t been single since her teen years.

From her days singing back-up for Erykah Badu to her current work with Phonte & Nicolay’s The Foreign Exchange project, Yahzarah’s been waiting for her turn to stand out front.

Her first two albums, Hear Me and Blackstar, were released in the early 2000s and featured lyrics penned by Phonte of Little Brother.  The two have worked closely together ever since and along with Phonte’s partner in The Foreign Exchange, Nicolay, the three have put together Yahzarah’s brand new album, The Ballad of Purple St. James, due out on May 4th.

“Why Dontcha Call Me No More,” produced by Phonte and Nicolay, is a very upbeat song, reminiscent of the territory that Solange dipped her feet into on her breakthrough album,  Sol Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams.  Definitely worth a listen!
