Note To Readers: We were sent this story from Jeff Bercovici's email account (nstead of from the flak who usually floods our inbox) and e assumed he wrote the story. However, though Jeff did work on this piece, it was ultimatey a callaborative effort, accomplished with the help of many a Radar staffer. So don't any gangster magazine people go and shoot Jeff, K? Just open fire on the whole staff.
Dude, Jeff Bercovici some Radar staffer (apparenty other people besides Jeff work there?) is talking to some embedded folks in this biz. We don't know who his the hook-up is, but, well, it's good. And it talks. He's Whoever it is has inside sources at the Source and Vibe, and is delivering mad mag news this week — guess that's what happens when you're forced to sit on your scoop for over a month.
Anyways, there was always some assumption that David Mays (Berco secret staffer knows him so well, though, it's Dave now), founder of the once-much-buzzed-about Source magazine, would eventually launch a new pub — and now it's looking pretty offish. Mays is pairing up with former Source staffer Benzino Scott and entourage members Wendy Wiliams and Mimi Vades (former Vibe EIC) to form a new mag, tentatively called The Truth.
Six months after being forced out of The Source, Dave Mays is set to return to magazine publishing with a new title that's being described as an urban version of In Touch …
The plan is to launch later this fall, according to a source familiar with Mays's plans. While none of the parties involved returned messages seeking comment, another individual close to Mays says it's a done deal. "I can tell you that it's not a hundred percent, it's a zillion percent true," says the friend. "It's confirmed."
A zillion percent true? We just can't argue with that. Plus, we really do feel the need for a Black tabloid. Beyonce, 50 Cent, Oprah, and Mekhi Phifer are definitely not getting enough face time.

This commenter above me is turning Jossip into a whore house! And I know the last thing that Dave wants to hear about is pussy. And this person uses the word pussy too much. This person is using the word pussy like it just went out of style. Pussy isn't a word you just throw around. You can't just go spamming everywhere and say things like "Heres my pussy, eat it!"
Hearing about someones extremeties was the last thing I thought I was going to hear about today. Seriously, why would someone just keep saying pussy? Thats ridiculous! Unless pussy is the name of your cat. Then you can say pussy as much as you want. Just not while your eating. Because pussy makes me throw up while I am eating. Unless I happen to be eating…
