So it continues…

Author Terry McMillan's got plenty to say, especially when it comes to her ex-husband, Jonathan Plummer. As Plummer plugs his unimaginative "novel", McMillan sits down with Uneq magazine to offer her two cents on Plummer's one-track mind.

You'll have to buy the current issue of Uneq to read the interview. The mag's press flack, however, did pass along a long-winded, explosive and very angry statement from McMillan. Here's a sample:

…He doesn't care if he ever goes back to Jamaica. It is the main reason he went on television to announce his homosexuality. He wanted the people in Jamaica to be embarrassed and to hate him so that in the event that our marriage were annulled - his goal was to use the self-generated hatred sure to come from Jamaica so that he would qualify for asylum and be able to stay in this country if his citizenship were revoked or in jeopardy. This is how slick he is.

Read the rest of McMillan's statement, after the jump.

Bad friend boy bander Lance Bass' yet to be released memoir Out of Sync currently comes in at 1,252 on Amazon.com's best-seller list. Jonathan Plummer's atrocious tell-all, Balancing Act, falls at a disgraceful 166,632.

In other gay book news, Dina McGreevey's Silent Memoir: A Memoir of My Marriage grabbed the 51,214th slot, while ex-hubby and gay American Jim McGreevey's The Confession paperback's comes in near at 370,711.

Like a bizarro version of ex-wife Terry McMillan's How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Jonathan Plummer's Balancing Act follows the story of a young Jamaican seduced by a powerful American woman. And, as in Jamaica-born Plummer's real life, the young lover breaks the wealthy woman's heart by coming out and scandal ensues.

Despite the admitted parallels to his life - one passage explicitly refers to Stella's titular groove - Plummer calls his book fiction. Simon & Schuster's legal department even made sure to include a disclaimer saying as much. Still, we’ve got our doubts.

One thing’s for sure: the book’s opened an entirely new chapter of drama for Plummer, McMillan and a slew of new characters.

Jonathan Plummer gets no respect. Terry McMillan's gay ex-husband hoped his tell-all "novel" would be embraced universally, but at least one book store ain't having it. Our black sister Stereohyped reports:

Jonathan Plummer, the man responsible for both the giving and the taking away of Terry McMillan’s infamous groove, has written the gay, gold-digging version of O.J.’s If I Did It, and booksellers are responding to it in a similar way — by banning it from their shelves.

At least one bookstore — Marcus Books in Oakland — has decided not to carry Plummer’s novel, Balancing Act, which is based on the man’s “discovery,” “during” his marriage to uber-author Terry McMillan, that he was in no way shape or form a straight man. Funny how that happens after you marry the millionaire novelist.

While some think Marcus Books may just be pro-McMillan, Plummer's manager cousin says otherwise…
