MELYSSA FORD: Making New Waves
By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices
Hip-Hop's favorite pin-up girl Melyssa Ford has got a new job.
Next week, the former video vixen turned actress will assume the position as radio show host. Though it's not traditional radio, the boobylicious personality will take the reins over at Sirius Satellite Radio -- already home to channels hosted by Martha Stewart, Eminem and Howard Stern.
According to a rep, the 30-year old Toronto native will host a six hour block weekday afternoons from noon to 6 p.m. on the commercial free R&B/hip-hop hits music channel, 'Hot Jamz.'
As an actress, Ford has had recurring roles on the television series 'Soul Food' and the ill-fated UPN music industry drama 'Platinum.' She also hosted How I'm Livin' and BET Style, on the BET and has been featured in 'XXL,' 'Maxim' and 'Smooth Magazine,' among others.
Hip-hop fans may recognize her from her appearances in music videos including Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin'" and Usher featuring Ludacris and Lil' Jon's "Yeah."
Known as one of the most business savvy beauties in the hip-hop game, Ford has designs on becoming a health & fitness expert with a forthcoming fitness DVD, and is working on a cookbook.
