Is Little Miss Miley Cyrus Now A Married Woman?...

 

(MStarz-)

Miley Cyrus may be now officially be a freshly married woman. The vibrant country singer landed the cover of "Cosmopolitan's" March 2013 issue and reveals that she once had a productive dating life, but now is happy it's over. The starlet accidentally reveals that she's happy to be married, "I know, right? I'm happy I don't have to date anymore though. All my friends are guys, so I hear the sh*t guys say about dating. One guy called me and said, 'Miley, I don't know what to do - this girl won't leave my house. It's 6:00 and I have a blind date at 6:30.' And I was like, 'I'm so happy I'm married, because you guys are cruel!' It's hard to find a good guy, and all girl know that guys don't think with their brains."

She tried to clean up her comment by talking about what her wedding would be like when they were "ready" saying, "I can't even get coffee without a million paparazzi following me, so I don't know why anyone think I'm going to have this huge, extravagant wedding. That is so not who I am...

Okaaaay..Go Miley;)

Bey Reveals How She Coped w/ Her Previous Miscarriage

Photo courtesy of Necole Bitchie

Beyonce goes in deep on her upcoming HBO documentary.....

According to USA Today, who received an advanced copy:

She shares footage of her trip to Paris with her nephew. She talks about wanting to “make love” to her husband. She explains why she decided to share her pregnancy news so visibly at the MTV awards.
Most notably: She opens up about her miscarriage two years ago, saying that one week she heard a heartbeat – and the next, nothing. And she talks about how devastating the loss was to her and how she retreated to the studio to deal with it.

Most movingly, she addresses stories that she used a surrogate to carry daughter Blue Ivy, now 1.
“There’s a stupid rumor. The most ridiculous rumor I think I’ve ever had about me. It’s crazy. To think I would be that vain – I respect mothers and women so much and to be able to experience bringing a child into this world, if you’re lucky and fortunate enough to experience that, I would never, ever take that for granted. It’s the most powerful thing you can do. Especially after losing a child, the pain and trauma from that just makes it mean so much more to get an opportunity to bring life into the world. It seems like people should have boundaries,” says a visibly shaken Beyonce.

Last year, Jay-Z first revealed the couple’s past miscarriage when he released the track, “Glory.” He rapped:

Last time the miscarriage was so tragic,
We was afraid you disappeared but nah baby, you magic
So there you have it, sh-t happens

Up Next:Oprah's Next Chapter w/ LL Cool J & Cissy Houston!

 

Next on OWN, Oprah conducts a rare interview with hip-hop legend and actor LL Cool J at his home in Los Angeles. Then, Oprah sits down with Cissy Houston, mother of music icon Whitney Houston, for her first in-depth, sit-down interview since her daughter's passing.

On Sunday, January 27 at 9pm EST/PST Oprah will chat with LL Cool J at his home in LA, for what reps at OWN describe as a rare interview to discuss his career, marriage, sex life, abusive childhood and the night he woke up to find a stranger in his home. His wife Simone and their 4 children will also join the conversation later in the interview.

 

Oprah sits down with Cissy Houston the next day (January 28, at 10pm EST/PST). Nearing the one year anniversary of Whitney Houston’s death, Oprah will chat with the late singer’s mother in her New Jersey home for her first in-depth interview since her daughter’s passing.

Ok, She "Lip Synced", Now Leave Bey ALONE! Geesh!

 

*Sighhh*....Was trying to ignore it, but guess I'll report it....

 

(US Weekly)
Although the Grammy winner and her team have remained silent about the "Star Spangled Banner" fracas, a source confirms to Us Weekly that she did, in fact, use a backing track for her performance in front of the U.S. Capitol. "She didn't think there was anything wrong with it," the source explains. "Pavarotti has done it! It was freezing out, and if she messed up just one note, that would have been the story." (True)

(Even Aretha Franklin, who sang live at the 2009 inauguration, defended Beyonce, noting to ABC, "the weather down there was about 46 or 44 degrees and for most singers that is just not good singing weather.")
Continues the source: "Everybody uses these tracks, and the music director advised it. Any big outdoor live performance is almost always with some kind of track."

Still, the insider clarifies that Beyonce didn't completely lip-sync the song: "She did sing, but used a track."

The source concedes that Blue Ivy's mom -- most recently spotted in New Orleans -- is disappointed by the so-called controversy: "A technicality which everybody does took away from the beauty of the moment." (So true-PnKB)

Beyonce Clears The Air On Those Ol' "Fake Pregnancy" Rumors!

 

 

Ok, so the social media world has been causing much turbulence over Beyonce's s GQ photo shoot  -- with a whole lotta' people accusing the mag of retouching the her photos.

Courtesy of TMZ-

GQ's shared interview and video outtakes from the seemingly controversial spread ... and it looks like the singer's not trying to hide a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g from her fans and foes.

Here's an excerpt from the singers interview with the Men's mag that didn't make the issue -- the 31-year-old opens up about rumors that her pregnancy was fake:

"I felt like I kind of had to protect my mother, because when people made up the silliest rumor about me not really being pregnant, she was there when I went through all of those things. And my sister. They were very, very defensive. It's not personal to me, and it comes along with the job, but the lack of respect—people will just go too far sometimes."

And the Queen Bey's outlook on giving birth:

"When I gave birth, that was the first time I truly let go and surrendered. And it taught me how amazing that feels... giving birth made me realize the power of being a woman. I have so much more substance in my life. And expressing that excitement and that sensuality and the connection I have with my husband—I'm a lot more comfortable with that now. I actually feel like my child introduced me to myself."

Shakira Gives Birth A Baby Boy!

Colombian pop star Shakira gave birth to a baby boy in Barcelona, Spain on Tuesday.
Shakira announced the birth on her website in a statement published in English, Spanish and Catalán:

We are happy to announce the birth of Milan Piqué Mebarak, son of Shakira Mebarak and Gerard Piqué, born January 22nd at 9:36pm, in Barcelona, Spain.The name Milan (pronounced MEE-lahn), means dear, loving and gracious in Slavic; in Ancient Roman, eager and laborious; and in Sanskrit, unification.

The statement added that the newborn "became a member of FC Barcelona at birth" like his father, soccer star Gerard Piqué.
A flurry of reports in the Spanish-language media appeared prior to the singer's announcement, citing a tweet by the charitable organization run by Shakira, the Fundación Pies Descalzos reading "The children and the team at Fundación Pies Descalzos are happy for Milan's birth!! We love you Shakira."

Shakira asked her fans on Tuesday to pray for her and her baby, shortly before giving birth at the Teknon Hospital, where she has been accompanied by her boyfriend Gerard Piqué, her parents and some family members. (-Huffpost)

Nation To Honor MLK Jr. As Obama Is Inaugurated (Schedule & Live Stream)

The 2013 Inauguration ceremonies to honor the start of President Barack Obama's second term in office include two official Inaugural Balls, a National Day of Service and two swearing-in ceremonies.
Thousands flocked to Washington, D.C. to help Obama kick off his second round in the White House, including notable names like James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, Katy Perry and Beyonce.

From the Associated Press:
In his second inaugural address, the president is expected to call on Washington to find common ground when possible. Aides say Obama will make the point that the nation's political system doesn't require lawmakers to resolve every difference, but it does require them to act when they can.

He'll also call on Americans to get involved in politics and influence what happens in Washington. Obama has already said he'll seek to build public support for the anti-gun violence plan he outlined last week, a package of proposals that faces a tough road in Congress.

It's been over 20 years since Kriss Kross (Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly and Chris "Daddy Mac" Smith) had their breakout hit "Jump Jump." Now the duo known for wearing their clothing backwards are reuniting in honor of their former record label, So So Def Recordings, in Atlanta next month according to TMZ.

It's been well over a decade since the former teen stars has made waves in the music world. Back in 2000, it was reported that Kriss Kross were going to record a fourth studio album to be produced by longtime collaborator Jermaine Dupri. That album never came out.

Kriss Kross rose to fame in 1992 with their multiplatinum Totally Krossed Out debut. In addition to "Jump Jump," the album produced fan favorite tracks like "I Missed The Bus" and "It's a Shame."

Missed it? Watch The Season Prem of American Idol Right Here!

The "American Idol" Season 12 premiere ratings are in and ... they aren't as high as last year.
The two-hour premiere which introduced viewers to the new judging panel of Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban and Randy Jackson had 17.8 million viewers and a 6.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic.

After the Wednesday Jan. 16 season premiere of a totally revamped American Idol -- with new judges Keith Urban, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj joining veteran holdout Randy Jackson plus host Ryan Seacrest -- the much-hyped friction between Minaj and Carey was finally on the small screen.
During the first of many audition episodes, the Grammy-winning singer and "Starships" rapper argued over just about anything. In the elevator on day one, for example, Carey takes issue with Minaj's huge, plumed majorette hat .

"We can have accessories? I didn't know that was allowed," Carey sniffed at the judges table, then complaining about her right to bring her dog to work. Later, Carey bragged about her holiday chestnut, "All I Want for Christmas." Minaj then calls her rival a "bitch" under her breath.

Carey then warned Minaj that anything that "starts with a 'B' and ends with an 'itch' – I rebuke it!" The women even argued over the Lindsay Lohan flick Mean Girls -- with Carey challenging Minaj to reference the film correctly.(US Weekly)

Watch Wednesday's season premiere for yourself below!

Other mishaps during the premiere? Country singer Urban spilled his huge cup of Coke on Minaj after a sexy Israeli singer, Shira Gavrielov, auditions.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry … we'll have to edit right here," Urban, 46, uttered.l Us: What did you think of the premiere?

Why Your First Paycheck of 2013 Has Gotten Smaller...

(Wall Street Journal)

American workers are opening their first paychecks of the year and finding an unpleasant surprise: The government's take has gone up.

A temporary cut in Social Security withholdings gave Americans hundreds of extra dollars to spend over the past two years. But Congress allowed that break to expire during the wrangling over the fiscal cliff, meaning that Social Security taxes have reverted to 6.2% of salary from the temporary 4.2%.

Kari Barker, an accountant in Salt Lake City, recently received her first 2013 paycheck and realized that she and her husband will take home $250 less every month. The 32-year-old, who works as a financial controller for a medical-devices company, accepted a second job last weekdoing accounting work for a friend's startup company.

Ms. Barker recently had a second child, who joined the first in day care. She has been planning meals more carefully to spend less on groceries and has switched to less-expensive brands of household and baby items. "I used to be a diapers snob and would only buy Pampers or Huggies," Ms. Barker said. "Now I buy Target's house brand, because it's two-thirds the cost."

Roberton Williams, a tax economist and the Sol Price Fellow at the Tax Policy Center in Washington, said the expiration of the payroll-tax cut will leave the average American household with $18 to $20 less to spend each week, or $900 to $1,000 a year.

A new trailer has been released for the upcoming documentary about the star, "Life Is But A Dream." Take a look in the video above (in my site header).

The singer is shown traveling, rehearsing dance numbers, examining her pregnant belly, and lying in bed saying "I just had a feeling that something was going on... This is crazy," about her pregnancy.

***Now Airing In The Footer Of This Blog Site***

 

Courtesy of VH1:

To celebrate the upcoming premiere the cast and over 400 guests gathered at NYC’s Kiss And Fly for a private screening and party.

Yandy Smith, Joe Budden, Tahiry Jose, Erica Mena, Rich Dollaz, Consequence, Jen the Pen, Raqi Thunda, Lore’l, Winter Ramos and Rashidah Ali were all in attendance. Olivia missed the festivities due to being in Italy, but Jennifer Williams from Basketball Wives made an appearance. We had one-on-one girl talk with Tahiry, Yandy and Winter.

Tahiry
On whether she’s still in love with Joe: “I love Joe as a person, as an individual. There’s no way shape or form that anybody can be with somebody for such a long time, especially in their most important parts of their lives, or stages of lives that you go through that you know, you don’t have certain people that become permanent fixtures in your life. Do I want to be with him? No.”

Yandy
On her relationship with Jim Jones and Chrissy: “I don’t have one. We went our separate ways. I’m super happy. Do you know the day that I quit I got pregnant that week, and we had been trying for a long time to have a baby? I never saw Jim as my end-all be-all because I was doing so many other things, but he was definitely a high priority…catering to his drama and fixing and doing damage control took up a lot of my time. It’s really good to sleep at night and have my phones on vibrate.”
Thoughts on Love And Hip Hop Atlanta: “... I love down Rasheeda, I love down Ariane, I love down Mimi, I love down Joseline.”

Winter
On life after resigning as Fabolous’s assistant: “I was Fab’s assistant for three years and I couldn’t see my life without working for him. Then when you stop you’re like, s—, there was a whole ‘nother world out here that I was missing because I’m so busy catering to him.”

Final words: “Love And Hip Hop is not about sleeping with hip-hop artists. Love and Hip Hop is — we can work in this music industry and love hip-hop as women and be in love with it just as much as if you’re in love with an artist who’s involved in it. As women, we get money too.”

#BOSTON In State Of Emergency As Flu Cases Rise!

Since October 1, there have been 700 confirmed influenza cases among Boston residents, according to Menino's office; that's 10 times more than were seen in all of last year's flu season.

 

State public health officials are reporting 18 flu-related deaths in Massachusetts already this season and the city of Boston has declared a public health emergency.

 

Menino is collaborating with the Boston Public Health Commission and community health centers to offer free vaccination clinics this weekend. The mayor urged residents to stay home from work or school if they are sick, and to get their flu shots.(CNN)

 

 

"This is the worst flu season we've seen since 2009, and people should take the threat of flu seriously," Menino said in a statement. More than 4% of emergency department visits at Boston hospitals are from flu cases, up from 1% during non-flu season.

 

Governor Deval Patrick also urged people to get vaccinated.
“This is serious; there is a heightened level of flu activity across the state,” Patrick said at a press conference. “But we’re prepared.’’

 

Boston public health officials placed robocalls to nearly 45,000 residents, including 27,000 senior citizens, urging those who have not been vaccinated to contact their doctor or visit a free clinic this weekend. The city has arranged for flu shots to be offered for free at 21 community health centers across Boston. (For a list, go to www.cityofboston.gov.)

Why Animal Rights?

 

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. Many of us bought our beloved “pets” at pet shops, had guinea pigs, and kept beautiful birds in cages. We wore wool and silk, ate McDonald’s burgers, and fished. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?

 

In his book Animal Liberation, Peter Singer states that the basic principle of equality does not require equal or identical treatment; it requires equal consideration. People often ask if animals should have rights, and quite simply, the answer is “Yes!” Animals surely deserve to live their lives free from suffering and exploitation. “The question is not ‘Can they reason?’ nor ‘Can they talk?’ but ‘Can they suffer?’”  All animals have the ability to suffer in the same way and to the same degree that humans do. They feel pain, pleasure, fear, frustration, loneliness, and motherly love - we are morally obligated to take them into account.

Supporters of animal rights believe that animals have an inherent worth—a value completely separate from their usefulness to humans. We believe that every creature with a will to live has a right to live free from pain and suffering. Animal rights is not just a philosophy—it is a social movement that challenges society’s traditional view that all nonhuman animals exist solely for human use. As PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk has said, “When it comes to pain, love, joy, loneliness, and fear, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. Each one values his or her life and fights the knife.”

Only prejudice allows us to deny others the rights that we expect to have for ourselves. Whether it’s based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or species, prejudice is morally unacceptable. If you wouldn’t eat a dog, why eat a pig? Dogs and pigs have the same capacity to feel pain, but it is prejudice based on species that allows us to think of one animal as a companion and the other as dinner or a new jacket for that matter.

Please don't support cruelty to animals. Many great retailers such as Ralph Lauren, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, J.Crew, Talbots, Wet Seal, Express, and Limited Brands  in have already made the kind decision to go fur-free.

Housewives ATL: Kenya's Boyfriend Walter Says Their Relationship Was Faked!

 

Uh-Oh, realitywives.net has reported:

Walter Jackson (boyfiend of Kenya Moore on Real Housewives of ATL) told Frank Ski and Wanda Smith on V103, that they did date for three months three years ago. They lost touch but then in April, Kenya sent him a text and said she was coming to Atlanta.

“I was kind of surprised,” he said.
She told him, “I’m going to be doing this show. What do you think of reality TV?”

Walter: “I don’t know. That’s kind of a stretch there.”
Kenya: “What if you play my boyfriend on the show?”

Jackson said he asked some friends if he should do it. They told him he should enjoy the 15 minutes of fame.

Kenya: “It’s just like acting”.

He was surprised when he found out she kept pushing marriage on the show. She later claimed in the press that the reason he didn’t marry her was because he’s gay. He denied that to Ski and Smith. “I”m well established here. Gay has never been in the block,” he said. “Why she would say that, I don’t know.”

 

Walter is now dating a younger woman. He wasn’t cheating on Kenya as they were never dating in the first place.

He said they portrayed him as is. “I’m laid back, they did a great job. I’m not here to bash the show. The producers had no idea they were faking it. It was our secret.”

 

Kenya’s response:
The high road is any action taken or any word spoken with the intention of restoring peace, invoking healing, or advancing love. Good night…
