First Michelle said it was a judgment from God that the September 11th attacks and the Benghazi siege happened and now God will repeal Obamacare? Michelle we need you to seriously stop putting yourself out here like this. You make your party look crazy. Have several seats. Michelle Bachmann Says God Will Repeal Obamacare According to Raw Story Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is telling her constituents that God will “answer our prayers” and create a “miracle before our eyes” to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care reform law. In a Tuesday interview with evangelical radio host James Dobson, Bachmann noted that the House of Representatives had recently voted for the 37th time to repeal the Affordable Care Act and that she was hopeful that the Democratically-controlled Senate would do the same. “I think the President will ultimately be forced to repudiate his own signature piece of legislation because the American people will demand it,” she explained. “And I think before his second term is over, we’re going to see a miracle before our eyes, I believe God is going to answer our prayers and we’ll be freed from the yoke of Obamacare.” “I believe that’s going to happen and we saw step one last week with the repeal of Obamacare in the House. We have two more steps. We serve a mighty God and I believe it can happen.” At a tea party rally last week, Bachmann had falsely warned that Obamacare would allow the Internal Revenue Service to deny health care to patients. “Many people said this issue was dead, many people have said that Obamacare is here to stay,” she told the crowd. “We are here as the people’s representatives, as real people across the United States to say, this issue is now revived! It’s is back on the table!” Obamacare has been passed. Grow up and deal with it.
Justin Bieber is in mourning this week. The singer – who was forced to leave one Paris hotel for another on Sunday due to a lack of security – took to Twitter yesterday and sent his prayers to Briana Tejada, a major Belieber who lost her fight against Leukemia over the weekend. “Just got news about little Briana,” Justin wrote. “I was honored to meet her. I know she is up in heaven smiling. #ripBriana #love” In January, thanks to a #JustinForBriana campaign, the 11-year fan met her idol in Nashville, as her parents described the interaction as a “dream come true” for their daughter. Prior to that, Justin gave Briana a shout-out in a special video, telling her: “I just wanted to say my prayers are going out to you and your family. Thank you so much for believing in me and being a big fan. And I’m your biggest fan, and I love you so much.” Sort of puts all those recent Justin Bieber scandals in perspective, doesn’t it?

MLB Network bought the exclusive U.S. rights to broadcast the 2013 World Baseball Classic, but those rights do not extend beyond the English language. Lacking alternatives on a slow Sunday, ESPN elected to use its loophole in owning Spanish-language rights to simulcast its ESPN Deportes feed. They aired the Dominican Republic-Puerto Rico game on the ESPN flagship station in Spanish, an unusual move that incurred surprising backlash. Any time ESPN introduces a new audience to content usually found on another station, people tend react poorly … and clearly this was no exception . The Internet was quickly inundated with comments to the effect of “Is It Me Or Has ESPN Been Taken Over By Wetbacks?” and much worse still. There were plenty of more harmless comments as well, i.e. “This sounds like a soccer match!” or “Anyone make the mistake that Mexico took us over?!” Still, it’s amazing the things that will fire people up these days on a Sunday evening if they can’t watch the Worldwide Leader in Sports in English.
This week on Kourtney & Kim Take Miami featured something called a blood facial for Kim, but it wasn’t as dirty as it probably sounds. Also, Scott ended up almost losing one of his balls … sort of. Come along for THG’s official +/- KKTM recap! Kim, or the producers who script her every move, have always loved “detective work.” That’s how she justifies her spying and meddling, anyway. Minus 50 . So you can imagine how excited she is when Larsa’s friend Jake, an actual real P.I., comes to the city to work on a pro bono kidnapping case. Kim Kardashian signs up to help, which is unrealistic in so many ways if they expect us to believe this is a real case, but that’s reality TV for you. Minus 350 . Kim: “If I wasn’t doing what I’m doing now, I would totally be a crime scene investigator.” We were thinking more like porn star, but Plus 100 for aiming high. Still, thanks to Kim’s social networking skills, supposedly, they locate the missing girl’s BF and help point officials in the right direction. So Plus 200 . Meanwhile, Kourtney Kardashian is a bit concerned about her weight, which wasn’t that big a deal until Scott Disick weighed in with his two cents. Scott suggests that 93 pounds would be “the dream” weight for her. Minus only 50 because he thinks he’s just kidding … but thin ice, buddy. Scott’s problems don’t end there. When he goes to the beach with Kourtney and Mason, he gets a bit of sand in his eye. We know. Dude has got it rough. Scott: “I’m about to have to say goodbye to one of my eyeballs, can we go?” He’s lost his other two balls a long time ago, so please, hurry up people. Minus 100 . Scott: “You’ve got a beautiful kneecap.” Aww. So kind. He actually does get a scratched cornea, which means he has to wear an eye patch … which Kourt makes sure has an “LD” monogram, luckily. Lord Disick, baby. Can’t hold him down. Plus 300 . EPISODE TOTAL: +50! SEASON TOTAL: +493!
Mob Wives Chicago star Pia Rizza is responding to reports that naked photos of her are being shopped around … but putting them out there herself! Talk about a preemptive strike. Pia tells TMZ, which published the pics with her consent, that she took them sometime last year, while still filming Mob Wives and sent them to her boyfriend. Her goal? To get some feedback on whether she had the appropriate stuff for a potential Playboy spread (probably to get it in later that night too). The photos somehow got in the wrong hands, and Rizza says someone is trying to sell them without her permission. So now she’s taking command. She doesn’t want anyone making money off of her image if it’s not her, first off … and yeah, she’s still hoping Playboy will notice, so here you go: Gotta admire her honesty if nothing else.
A case of laryngitis forced Rihanna to cancel her concert in Boston Sunday. The 25-year-old pop princess’ promoter, Live Nation, said in a statement: “Unfortunately, following her sold-out concert Friday, Rihanna has contracted laryngitis and per doctor’s instruction is unable to perform this evening.” Rihanna also took to Twitter to apologize to her fans personally: “BOSTON this is the hardest thing for me to deal with! I feel like we’ve been waiting on this day forever, and I’m hurt that I let you down,” she wrote. “I hate disappointing people that never ever let me down!! I’m so embarrassed about this! Thank you for your prayers and well wishes!” she added. Rihanna’s tour kicked off March 8 in Buffalo, N.Y., and she is expected to return to the stage in Baltimore tonight. The Boston concert will be rescheduled.
Kellie Pickler needs your prayers. The former American Idol finalist and upcoming Dancing with the Stars contestant has asked fans to keep Gregg Lohman in their thoughts, as the singer’s drummer was airlifted to a hospital Saturday following a four-car accident in Kentucky. “Gregg is not just my drummer, he is family,” Pickler wrote on Twitter and Facebook. “I believe in miracles and the power of prayer, so it would mean the world to me, my band, and Gregg’s family if you would please keep him in your prayers. Thank y’all so much.” The crash killed six people from the same family on Interstate 65, with another car not noticing that Lohman had slowed down in order to avoid the pile-up. According to CNN, that’s when the oncoming vehicle plowed into Lohman’s truck , forcing it to rear-end yet another car. Lohman has also performed with Lady Antebellum and SHeDAISY and is a percussion instructor at Tennessee State University. We will keep him in our thoughts.
The country star Jennifer Nettles gave birth to her baby boy Magnus, on Thursday. “We are so thankful for all the prayers and support and are excited to take some time together as a new family,” the couple said in a statement to Access Hollywood on Friday.

The 38-year-old mom was last seen in November showing off her baby bump on the carpet of the Country Music Association Awards in Nashville.
