Star Gets Arrested, Replaced By Egypt

The only thing I have to say about this is for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Hip-hop shock jock Star was lured to Police Headquarters and then busted yesterday for his sick on-air rant about molesting the 4-year-old daughter of a rival. Charged with endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated harassment, a smirking and defiant Star declared, "You're looking at the new Lenny Bruce."

He made the dubious comparison to the late comedian - whose use of obscenities led to repeated arrests - as cops walked him handcuffed out of the 1st Precinct stationhouse to take him to Manhattan Criminal Court. Star, 42, whose real name is Troi Torain, was canned Wednesday after making shockingly ugly, racist and lewd comments over several days on Power 105.1 (WWPR-FM).

I also received a press release from Kat Walk Media that Egypt will be replacing Star on the morning show. Check it:

Egypt, a 10-year veteran on-air personality, will join New York City's Power 105.1 FM morning show as co-host of its new syndicated program "LIVE with Tigger & Egypt", replacing the morning show formerly known as The Star & Bucwild Show, Monday through Friday from 6am-10am ET.

Egypt, better known by her fans as the sexy and vibrant personality heard on Power 105.1 FM'
s airwaves on the weekends from 6-10pm, has been a notable personality on New York City radio for over 5 years. Prior to joining the Clear Channel family, Egypt was a member of the 107.5 WBLS’ team as their midday personality. Over her ten-year reign as one of the better known Queens of radio, she was an on-air personality with Philadelphia's 100.3 The Beat and later moved on to Baltimore's 92Q where she was voted by Baltimore magazine as "the #1 personality in the City." In addition, Egypt was named #2 on R&R Magazine's "Power Player on the Rise" Top 10 List.
