MLK Day: Keeping the Dream Alive



While many of us are off of work today, remember Dr. Martin Luther King's "Dream." We have come a long way but we still have along way to go. So today, take a moment and reflect, write down some ways you can help keep MLK's "Dream" alive.

Usher's Dad Dies

Usher is in mourning following the death of his father on Friday, January 18.

The "Confessions" singer - full name Usher Raymond IV - is reported to have been by his father Usher Raymond III's side when he passed away at an Atlanta, Georgia hospital. The cause of death is currently unknown.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Raymond family in their time of sorrow.

Murphy, Edmonds Split


After only two weeks of wedded bliss, Eddie Murphy and Tracy Edmonds have decided to end their relationship.

"After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will
forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship
further.

While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative
of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a
spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends."

Cass: See this is the reason people take marriage as a joke. Marriage is a sacred union that should be shared by two people who are willing to MAKE IT WORK. Marriage is just like any other endeavor. It takes TIME and COMMITMENT. Marriage is an INVESTMENT, just like a house, a career, or an education.

John Mayer Defending Ex


"Dear Dallas and Surrounding Areas,

This isn't a sports blog, and it isn't a publicity stunt. (but have at me if it feels right.)

This is about doing what I think is right as a person, in this case speaking my mind.

I have never known anyone to have more pride in their home state and their upbringing in it than Jessica Simpson has in Texas. I don't really follow sports, but I have played some of my biggest and best concerts in your state, and having witnessed how dynamic the spirit there is, I'm betting emotions are running high right about now.

All witty barbs, blogs, and fashion policing aside, that girl loves Texas more than you know. It's one of her most defining traits as a person. So please don't try and take that away from her. (You probably wouldn't be able to, but it's less work for all involved.)

I just thought it would mean something coming from the guy who has the absolute least to gain from this. And if I'm out of line in having written it, too bad. I can spare a Wednesday's worth of bad press if it means sticking up for a good soul.

JM"


AAAWWWW! As a Cowboys fan, I give kudos to John for sticking up for her when Tony Romo won't!

High School Musical 3 Going to Theaters


"High School Musical 3: Senior Year" finds high school seniors Troy and Gabriella facing the prospect of being separated from one another as they head off in different directions to college. Joined by the rest of the Wildcats, they stage an elaborate spring musical reflecting their experiences, hopes and fears about their future. With incredible new music and exciting dance numbers designed to take maximum advantage of the big screen, this motion picture extravaganza delivers plenty of high-energy entertainment from East High's talented ensemble.

The only reason why I am posting this is because my 2 year old loves HSM Corbin Bleu. She could care less about Zac and Ryan.

L.L. loves the kids!


L.L. Cool J says he loves being a dad to his four children.

“It’s an opportunity to shape and mold a young mind,” he tells me. “To turn them into a contributing member of society, and to create. You actually get to mold a human being into something that is great if you do the job right. So far, I think I’m okay.”

L.L. and his wife of 12 years Simone Johnson have son Najee, 18, and daughters Italia, 17, Samaria, 12, and Nina, 7.

R. Kelly and Therapist

from NET news (formerly BET):

Accused statutory rapist and child pornographer R. Kelly has gained a victory in his court battle. The singer appeared Monday before a judge who ruled that a child therapist can’t testify at his trial. Kelly’s accused of videotaping himself in sex acts with an under-age girl who’s now 20 and says she’s not the girl in the video. Dr. Sharon Cooper planned to testify that such denial from past victims of child sexual abuse is common, but Judge Vincent Gaughan sided with defense lawyers. They argued that no precedent has been set letting a witness cast doubt on another witness in that way. Kelly’s next court appearance is scheduled for March 12, followed by a May 9 trial, which has been delayed for five years.

Quotable Quotes: Bob Johnson is Beotch

I was talking to a good friend of mine about Bob Johnson and his Obama comment, I thought this statement was too much for me to keep to myself:

He is a Hillary supporter. This weekend he made a reference to Obama self admitted drug use as if he was some thug on the street... He sold out his own people for money. BET is the most degrading, disrespecting, drug referencing channel on television. How is he going to have room to talk when he condones what is put on BET. It shouldn’t be BET it should be NET.
