Destiny’s Child To Reunite For Stellar Awards Performance Word on the curb is that Destiny’s Child are reuniting to tape an awards show performance tonight, and we’re hoping they skip the onesie costumes for this one. According to Page Six reports : Destiny’s Child is reuniting for a surprise performance at an awards show. We’re told Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland will make an appearance at the Stellar Gospel Music Awards in Las Vegas at the Orleans Arena on Saturday, where Michelle Williams is up for several awards. The girl-power trio is set to open the awards ceremony with a performance, said a source, and that has sparked whispers from insiders about a reunion tour. But a rep for Beyoncé said there “is no truth to the rumor of a Destiny’s Child reunion tour”. The girl group last performed together for Beyoncé’s 2013 Super Bowl halftime show. The show, co-hosted by Rickey Smiley, airs Easter Sunday on TV One. Guessing they will be skipping the hellfire effects they used for Bey’s Superbowl performance. We think it’s dope of Bey and Kelly to show up and support #PoorMichelle for this. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and #PoorMichelle won’t have any tragic slander worthy moments. APImages
Creflo Dollar Trying To Raise $60 Million For Private Jet Looks like Creflo Dollar joined the e-begging craze . The good pastor now needs one of the most luxurious private jets in production, a Gulfstream G650, to spread the word of Jesus. He is now requesting 200,000 believers to donate $300 a pop to help him reach the goal. Apparently, due to recent engine failure with his aircraft that led to an emergency landing, Creflo needs a replacement aircraft to ensure that he, his wife, and staff members of World Changers Church to their overseas engagements safely. Via his fundraising website : Due to this recent incident coupled with the 31 years the airplane has been in service, we believe it is time to replace this aircraft so that our Pastors and staff can continue to safely and swiftly share the Good News of the Gospel worldwide. Believe it or not, there are still millions of people on this planet who have never heard of Jesus Christ and know nothing of His greatness. Our hearts desire to see precious lives changed and snatched out of darkness and thrust into His marvelous light! We need your help to continue reaching a lost and dying world for the Lord Jesus Christ. We are asking members, partners, and supporters of this ministry to assist in the undertaking of an initiative called Project G650. The mission of Project G650 is to acquire a Gulfstream G650 airplane so that Pastors Creflo and Taffi and World Changers Church International can continue to blanket the globe with the Gospel of grace. We are believing for 200,000 people to give contributions of 300 US dollars or more to turn this dream into a reality—and allow us to retire the aircraft that served us well for many years. Jesus don’t fly commercial! Will you be reaching into your pockets to help?
Do you agree?? Saints Player Benjamin Watson Posts Thoughts On Ferguson Ruling And Fallout Saints Player Benjamin Watson posted a status update regarding his thoughts on the Ferguson, MO grand jury’s failure to indict Darren Wilson , and it has quickly become a viral phenomenon. In the open letter, Watson expresses a range of conflicting emotions over the circumstances surrounding Mike Brown’s killing , including sympathy for Darren Wilson due to “not knowing what really happened,” confusion as to why Mike Brown couldn’t just obey police orders, embarrassment at the rioting in the wake of the decision, and hopefulness that faith will fix it all. Via Facebook : At some point while I was playing or preparing to play Monday Night Football, the news broke about the Ferguson Decision. After trying to figure out how I felt, I decided to write it down. Here are my thoughts: I’M ANGRY because the stories of injustice that have been passed down for generations seem to be continuing before our very eyes. I’M FRUSTRATED, because pop culture, music and movies glorify these types of police citizen altercations and promote an invincible attitude that continues to get young men killed in real life, away from safety movie sets and music studios. I’M FEARFUL because in the back of my mind I know that although I’m a law abiding citizen I could still be looked upon as a “threat” to those who don’t know me. So I will continue to have to go the extra mile to earn the benefit of the doubt. I’M EMBARRASSED because the looting, violent protests, and law breaking only confirm, and in the minds of many, validate, the stereotypes and thus the inferior treatment. I’M SAD, because another young life was lost from his family, the racial divide has widened, a community is in shambles, accusations, insensitivity hurt and hatred are boiling over, and we may never know the truth about what happened that day. I’M SYMPATHETIC, because I wasn’t there so I don’t know exactly what happened. Maybe Darren Wilson acted within his rights and duty as an officer of the law and killed Michael Brown in self defense like any of us would in the circumstance. Now he has to fear the backlash against himself and his loved ones when he was only doing his job. What a horrible thing to endure. OR maybe he provoked Michael and ignited the series of events that led to him eventually murdering the young man to prove a point. I’M OFFENDED, because of the insulting comments I’ve seen that are not only insensitive but dismissive to the painful experiences of others. I’M CONFUSED, because I don’t know why it’s so hard to obey a policeman. You will not win!!! And I don’t know why some policeman abuse their power. Power is a responsibility, not a weapon to brandish and lord over the populace. I’M INTROSPECTIVE, because sometimes I want to take “our” side without looking at the facts in situations like these. Sometimes I feel like it’s us against them. Sometimes I’m just as prejudiced as people I point fingers at. And that’s not right. How can I look at white skin and make assumptions but not want assumptions made about me? That’s not right. I’M HOPELESS, because I’ve lived long enough to expect things like this to continue to happen. I’m not surprised and at some point my little children are going to inherit the weight of being a minority and all that it entails. I’M HOPEFUL, because I know that while we still have race issues in America, we enjoy a much different normal than those of our parents and grandparents. I see it in my personal relationships with teammates, friends and mentors. And it’s a beautiful thing. I’M ENCOURAGED, because ultimately the problem is not a SKIN problem, it is a SIN problem. SIN is the reason we rebel against authority. SIN is the reason we abuse our authority. SIN is the reason we are racist, prejudiced and lie to cover for our own. SIN is the reason we riot, loot and burn. BUT I’M ENCOURAGED because God has provided a solution for sin through the his son Jesus and with it, a transformed heart and mind. One that’s capable of looking past the outward and seeing what’s truly important in every human being. The cure for the Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner tragedies is not education or exposure. It’s the Gospel. So, finally, I’M ENCOURAGED because the Gospel gives mankind hope. Hmmm, he covered a lot here. What do you feel about what he had to say??
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 4 Episode 8 featured Yolanda Foster playing host for the first time this season, but that wasn’t the half of it. These ladies? Not exactly known for their manners and/or etiquette. Money can’t buy you class, as a wise woman once said, but it does bring drama. Hard. Lisa Vanderpump, Brandi Glanville, and Kyle Richards decided to play a game of Who Has the Implants, while Brandi was dubbed a racist by Joyce Giraud. Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 4 Episode 8 Carlton Gebbia and her adult-themed “play” room for herself and her husband stole the show, however. It would make Christian Grey proud … and gag. In a good way? Maybe. Like most installments, you never know whether to laugh or cringe at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 4 Episode 8. That we’ll let you judge for yourself, along with everything else when you watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online by clicking the picture above.
Sarah Palin has already expressed her view on the Phil Robertson scandal that has rocked television’s top-rated reality show. Soon after A&E suspended the Duck Dynasty star, Palin Tweeted that Robertson simply expressed his “personal opinion” and his rights to free speech were being impinged on. That’s a commonly misguided point of view, considering the First Amendment has nothing to do with one suffering professional consequences for one’s words or actions. But Palin went On the Record With Greta Susteren this week and admitted she hasn’t actually read Robertson’s fiery comments regarding homosexuality. Sarah Palin Responds to Phil Robertson Scandal “I haven’t read the article. I don’t know exactly how he said it,” Palin told the host. “What he was doing was in response to a question about a lifestyle he disagrees with, and yet he has said over and over again he doesn’t hate the person engaging in the lifestyle he disagrees with, but in response he was quoting the gospel. “So people who are so insulted and offended by what he said evidently are offended by what he was quoting in the gospel.” Robertson has since added that he’s “not a hater” and that he loves “all humanity.” But he’s also refused to apologize for classifying homosexuality as a sin, ranking “sexual immorality” as number-one on his biblical list of no-no’s. Ironically, Britsol Palin – who had sex and a child out of wedlock – agrees, recently saying A&E’s suspension of Robertson “flies in the face of what makes America great” and referring to the LGBT community as “hypocritical” for its backlash against the star. Sarah Palin, meanwhile concluded her interview with Susteren by saying there’s a lesson we all should take from the Robertson flap: “Thicken your skin and quit being so intolerant of people expressing public opinion and private opinion.” SHOULD A&E CANCEL DUCK DYNASTY IN THE WAKE OF ROBERTSON’S COMMENTS? Yes. There’s no going back from this low point … No! Bring back Phil and quack on! View Poll » SHOULD ROBERTSON APOLOGIZE? Yes. I respect his free speech and religious views, but he offended people. No. It’s his opinion! Don’t bow to the pressure, Phil! View Poll » DO YOU AGREE WITH SARAH PALIN’S TAKE ON THE SCANDAL? Yes, this is a clear First Amendment violation! No, the First Amendment has nothing to do with this! I don’t care! View Poll »

Not long after William Balfour was found guilty of murdering her mother, brother and nephew, Jennifer Hudson released an email statement regarding the tragedy as a whole. “We have felt the love and support from people all over the world, and we’re very grateful,” Hudson and sister Julia said, extending a prayer “from the Hudson family to the Balfour family” because “we have all suffered a terrible loss in this tragedy.” Quoting Scripture, the Hudson sisters concluded: “And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn upon them (2 Corinthians 4:3-4). It is our prayer that the Lord will forgive Mr. Balfour of these heinous acts and bring his heart into repentance someday.” Balfour faces life in prison, and his attorney plans to appeal her client’s multiple convictions next month.
