Yeah. I can't do the physics myself, so I take on faith (heh) that a sufficiently fast rotating blackhole has a ring shaped singularity that can extend outside its' event horizon.

This was news in the 90s and it was a plot point in at least two scifi books, though I don't think I can recommend either

I was assuming the event horizon would also have a donut shape around the ring singularity.
