First Lady ‘Chelly O is talkin that talk! Michelle Obama Speaks On Higher Education For African-American Students First Lady Michelle Obama is giving her two cents on the lack of priority that young African-American students place on higher education. The FLOTUS recently addressed the graduating class of Bowie State University, which is one of many Historically Black Colleges, where she made it a point to stress the importance of going to college and commended the graduating class for beating the statistics. via Think Progress First Lady Michelle Obama decided to trot out some very old talking points in her commencement address to the 2013 graduating class at Bowie State University: “Today, instead of walking miles every day to school, they’re sitting on couches for hours, playing video games, watching TV. Instead of dreaming of being a teacher or a lawyer or a business leader, they’re fantasizing about being a baller or a rapper,” Obama continued. “Right now, one in three African American students are dropping out of high school, only one in five African Americans between the ages of 25 and 29 has gotten a college degree.” But priorities should change, she said, because “getting an education is as important if not more important than it was back when this university was founded.” The first lady is known for keeping it 100 when she speaks, and this time was no exception. What do you think about her comments, Bossip fam?
This young lady had her whole life ahead of her. Hofstra Co-Ed Killed In Police Shootout According to The NY Daily News A Hofstra University junior and a ski-masked gunman were shot to death early Friday as police responded to a break-in at the woman’s off-campus house, cops said. The slain student was in the home with her twin sister and a third student when she was mortally wounded about 2:30 a.m., said Nassau County Police Deputy Inspector Kenneth Lack. Police acknowledged that officers opened fire inside the two-story home, but couldn’t confirm who fired the bullets that killed the popular college student and her unidentified captor. “There were shots fired in the house,” said Chief of Detectives Rick Capece. “We are analyzing it at this time, and a gun was recovered in the house.” Asked if the suspect fired his weapon, Capace said authorities wouldn’t comment “until we get more info.” A neighbor said she heard screams coming from 213 California Ave. in Uniondale shortly before the first gunshots. “We heard the yelling and then five loud bangs,” said Victoria Behel, 20, who lives five houses away. “It sounded like a college girl … It sounded like she was fighting for her life.” While authorities didn’t identify the victim, friends said the dead woman was Andrea Rebello, 21, who shared the house with her twin sister, Jessica, and several sorority sisters. The gun-toting intruder forced his way into the two-story house after knocking on the front door around 2:20 a.m., Nassau County police said. The twins, a third woman and a man were inside when the armed robber burst through the front door. The assailant apparently ordered the unidentified third woman to visit a nearby ATM and make a cash withdrawal as he held her friends hostage. But she immediately dialed 911 after leaving the house to report the break-in and hostage situation, police said. Cops arrived at the scene at 2:29 a.m., and shots were fired inside the home, police confirmed. All four people in the house were Hofstra students. SUNY Old Westbury student Victoria Dehel, 20, who lives down the street from the crime scene, said she heard bangs and screaming when she arrived home early Friday. She and her sister lived in Tarrytown, N.Y. Police said Jessica Rebello was with family members hours after the slaying. The slain gunman was not identified. The killings rocked the Long Island campus just two days before graduation. Do you think America needs to have a serious discussion about police protocol in America? Facebook
Dear Bossip , I am currently in a loving relationship with my high school sweetheart. We are both 25-years old and I am expecting a baby girl this month. We broke up in 2007 when he wanted to move to GA and I wanted to stay in NY and finish college. However, we reunited in 2011. During the time we were not together he was a dating a girl who manipulated him into believing she was pregnant with his child. Once the child was a year old a DNA test was done and it proved that he was not the child’s father. Yet, my boyfriend is still attached to the child and still treats him as his own. In addition, he is looking at our child as his second child. My boyfriend also wants to fight for full custody of this child so that he can live with us. I completely understand his attachment to the child and I support him being in the child’s life, but I do not feel like it is fair for the child to move in with us. This will be my first baby and I will be forced to be a mom and a stepmother all in one shot. The child is currently living happy and well with his great grandmother, but my boyfriend insists that the child should be with him. I don’t even know if it is possible for him to gain full custody being that he is not the child’s biological father. Also, I believe the child’s mother has a problem with me being pregnant. I can’t even wrap my mind around why her and her family is happy with my boyfriend pretending to be this child’s father. I have been keeping my opinion to myself and just being as supportive as possible, but I don’t believe that is the best thing to do. A social worker recently told me I should convince my boyfriend to get counseling to help him learn to let go of the child. I am just very confused about what to do and I do not want to be labeled the bad guy. I just want me and my boyfriend to be happy. I would love to hear your opinion on the situation. Thank you very much for your time. – Not His Child Dear Ms. Not His Child , What the??? I mean I’m all for men stepping up and being a good dude, especially a man who steps up to the plate for a child he didn’t know about, but, a child that is not even his, and he wants to seek full custody of this child, and he’s not even with the mother of the child?!? That is quite bizarre and strange. Let’s consider perhaps it’s because the child is a male child and he’s developed both an emotional and mental bond with the child. Maybe he feels he can do more for the child than the mother, and the father. And, if the father isn’t present in the child’s life he may feel some guilt with the child being without a father. And, during the relationship he had with the mother and with her family he probably built an emotional bond with them, and may feel sorry for the mother because she may not have the support system, or wherewithal to care for the child as a single parent. Regardless, however, I agree with the social worker that he should receive counseling to get to the root of his connection with the child, and why he feels the need to seek full custody of a child that is not his. And, the fact you are pregnant, and he is not acknowledging your child as his first child. Something is really off about this. It sounds as if he hasn’t connected with his own first child in such a way that he has with this other child. But, your child hasn’t been born as of yet, so you don’t know what bond may occur when your child is born, and what feelings he may develop once your child is in his arms, and a part of your life. Things may drastically change. But, I’m more concerned that you haven’t expressed your feelings around this matter with him. You say you don’t want to be the bad guy, and you’ve kept your opinions to yourself, as well as tried to be supportive of him and this situation. Uhm, sweetie, this is a contradiction of what you really feel, and thus, I imagine you have garnered some resentment toward the child, and this situation. If you don’t speak up and speak your truth, then you will grow angry, and bitter. If you’re not feeling it, and it makes you uncomfortable, then speak up! You won’t be bad guy for speaking your truth. If everyone around him is hyping him up to believe he can gain full custody of this child, then they are all lying to him. It will crush him when he goes to court and the judge tells him the truth. He may go into a tailspin of depression, and anger, and he may even become distant with you. We don’t know what the real damage this may do to him, so it’s best that someone be honest with him, and don’t contribute to this pipe dream he has. And, what I know for sure is that you are upset and hurt that your man is considering your child his second child, and the other child as his first. You’re hurting and upset because you don’t know why he is claiming a child that is not even his, and he is not even acknowledging your child as his first child. You’re saying to yourself, “How dare he think of our child as his second child? I’m carrying his baby, she didn’t! I’m not deceiving him, she did! Why hasn’t he connected with me like he did with her?” Those are the underlying comments and statements you’re saying to yourself. Boo! I peeped your letter and what you’re really saying! So, stop playing the supportive and loving girlfriend who is trying to be there for her man, and be real about your feelings and emotions. You don’t think it’s fair, and you don’t appreciate not being acknowledged, especially your first child with him. You don’t want this other child in your home, and you want to move on with your life with your boyfriend, be a family, and one day get married. You want this other woman out of your life and nothing to do with her, because if he gets full custody of the child then she will forever be in your life, and you don’t want a reminder of her in your life. You just want to move on! That is the truth of what’s going on! Now, if you keep your feelings bottled up, and you don’t say anything, then one day you’re going to snap, and it won’t be pretty. You’re going to say some things, and he’ll say some things, and then your relationship will be over. And, it’s all because you refused to speak up and be honest about your feelings and this situation. And, on the real, I don’t think he can legally seek full custody of the child that is not his. The courts will seek out the father of the child first before they hand over the child to your boyfriend. And, even if the mother gives up custody of the child, the courts will still seek out the father. He has not legal claim or stake into gaining custody of the child. So, it’s time to get real and be real. I suggest meeting with the social worker, and let them speak with your boyfriend about his desires to pursue legal custody of the child. The social worker can be real with him about his options, and share with him how they may be unrealistic. Also, ask the social worker to recommend a counselor that your boyfriend can speak with about this emotional and mental bond he’s developed for this child. The counselor can help him get to the bottom of his feelings, and what’s really going on beneath all of this. Again, he may feel guilty and want to do for the child, and may feel the mother is no position to care for the child. And, perhaps he desperately wants to be a father, and since your child has not been born yet he hasn’t that the opportunity to develop a bond or relationship with his own child. Maybe this will happen when your child arrives, and he may move on from his delusions of seeking custody of the other child. However, to err on the side of caution, it’s best to seek counseling and have him get to the bottom of his desires, and what is driving him.

The senseless violence needs to stop. Dad Fatally Shot In Park According to C And G News What prompted the May 5 fatal shooting of a 24-year-old Clinton Township man was not clear at press time, but what is for sure is that the man was fatally shot in the chest on the basketball court at Clinton Township’s Prince Drewry Park. According to one longtime family friend of the deceased, the alleged shooter and victim believed to be involved in the incident used to be friends. “They were going back and forth about an incident that had occurred last year,” said Yolanda McCoy, a longtime family friend of the decedent’s mother. “They started out as friends.” McCoy, a Roseville resident, said she did not know the specifics of the argument, but said she had known both men as children. Clinton Township investigators allege that Terry Lamont Wilson Jr., 20, of Clinton Township, shot Willie Dion Clark, 24, of Clinton Township, once in the chest around 6:50 p.m. on the park’s basketball court. Prince Drewry Park is located next to Robbie Hall Parker Elementary School on Quinn Road, east of Gratiot. Clinton Township Det. Capt. Richard Maierle said his department and U.S. Marshals Service tracked Wilson down and, with assistance from the Battle Creek police, arrested him around 8:45 p.m. May 8 at a housing complex in Battle Creek, where he was staying with a cousin. Wilson was denied bond during a May 9 arraignment in 41-B District Court, according to the court. A preliminary examination is scheduled for May 22. Two others were arrested for harboring a fugitive, Maierle said. Maierle said police interviews revealed varying accounts as to what ultimately prompted the shooting. But whatever the case, an argument reportedly ensued that evening and Wilson allegedly shot Clark once in the chest before fleeing the scene. After the shooting, Clark’s brothers took him to McLaren Macomb hospital in Mount Clemens, where he was pronounced dead on arrival, Maierle said. There were reportedly about 20 to 30 other people in the park at the time, including Clark’s 2-year-old child and two brothers. Clark was one of 10 children, McCoy said. McCoy said the 24-year-old Clark had lived his entire life in the neighborhood surrounding the Quinn Road park, even attending Robbie Hall Parker during his elementary school days, she said. Clark had two children, ages 5 and 2, she added. The evening following the shooting, on May 6, friends and family held a candlelight vigil for Clark at the park. Wayne County Circuit Court records show that Wilson was released from a two-year probation term in July 2012 for a 2010 charge of breaking and entering a vehicle, with damage to the vehicle. Wilson already had one warrant out at the time of the shooting for an alleged probation violation, Maierle said. This is first shooting-related death in Clinton Township since December 2011, when a 23-year-old Highland Park man was lured to an apartment complex and shot in a robbery gone wrong. The two culprits were found guilty by a jury for the crime and sentenced to life in prison. Anyone with information is asked to call Clinton Township police at (586) 493-7847 or (586) 493-7840.

This was a quality purchase and I did a huge amount of research as well as visiting and speaking with reps at both Best Buy and Frys. And I would’ve actually bought on Amazon had I had more time before going on vacation but I bought it at Frys Electronics.First off, I did many comparisons to other Canons recently released. This camera has all of the features of the 320HS except for the WiFi and the touch screen. This camera is identical except for those two features. And at the time of this p
Dick Trickle, a former NASCAR star, has died. He was 71 years old. Police in North Carolina believe that Trickle took his own life, shooting himself at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Lincoln County at 12:02 this afternoon. Officials say they got a phone call before the shooting in which the caller said there would be a dead body at the cemetery … and it would be his. Operators scrambled to call back, but got no answer. When emergency responders arrived, they found Trickle near his pickup truck. The fan favorite is said to have died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Trickle did leave a suicide note at the death scene, though the contents of the note are released at this time and it’s unclear if and when they will be. Dick, who often smoked while racing, won the NASCAR “Rookie of the Year” award in the Winston Cup in 1989, when he was a spry 48 years old. He won twice and notched 78 top tens in his career. R.I.P.
The new The Hangover Part III red band trailer is here! It looks a lot like today’s Last Vegas trailer , only with young people (that’s a joke). The first part of the trailer is a recap of the first two films, though that mostly consists of Zach Galifianakis’ Wolfpack speech and a naked Ken Jeong. Take a look: The Hangover Part III Trailer – Red Band Galifianakis returns along with Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Justin Bartha for the final installment of the raunchy comedy franchise. This time, they are forced by a crime boss to return to Vegas and find Chow.

The Hangover Part III will premiere May 23.
My name is Isabelle, I’m 13 years old, and I live in Sweden . I can’t believe I’m actually writing my OWN Bieber experience. It all started when I stood outside Annexet. My whole body was shaking and I really had “butterflies in my stomach.” I couldn’t believe I actually about to meet the boy I’ve been crazy about, for four years. My friends and I stood in the meet and greet line and then we were allowed inside. After a couple of minutes, Ryan came and he told us all the rules for the meeting. We were suppose to leave our gifts on a table outside the meet and greet tent where Justin was, and we couldn’t ask for an autograph, no kissing, and stuff like that. We sat in the room for about two hours. Suddenly Ryan said, “Everybody, go to your seats.” We all did as he said, and suddenly Dan Kanter came out. I was about to faint when I saw him. When Dan left, I had my mental breakdown. I started to cry, and I got worried. I mean, if I cry when I see Dan, how will I react when I meet Justin Bieber himself? When I was done crying, I went to fix my make up and then walked to Ryan, the host. He stood and talked to some girls, then looked at me. I stuttered, “Uhm, Ryan. Can I-I-I please have a h-hug?” and he smiled at me, laughed a little and then said, “Yeah of course.” After a while, Ryan said, “Everybody, go to the meet and greet line,” and as we where about to take place in the line, Justin came on his segway! He said something like, “Hey everybody!” and drove back to the tent. The security pushed me and some others inside the tent, and I put on a Justin mask that I borrowed from my friend Cassandra. Justin looked at me and laughed. I made him laugh! Justin said, “Hey there sweetheart,” and before I could answer, he pulled me in for a soft and warm hug. I didn’t even ask for the hug, he just hugged me. It felt like I was going to die. Before I took place on Justin’s right side, I said quickly, “Hey Justin, can we please do funny faces on the picture?” Justin nodded and laughed as he said, “Yeah of course sweetie.” He then took the Justin mask and placed it in front of his face, and the guy took two pictures of us. After that, the security started to drag me away from him so I started to walk away. All of a sudden, I felt someones hand around my wrist and I turned around. Justin pulled me in and said, “Don’t go, just one more picture please?” In those two pictures, Justin placed the mask in front of my face this time, and I hear the camera’s click. Security grabs me once again and starts to drag me out of there. I panicked and said, “Justin, can I please have one more hug?” and he gave me the biggest smile ever and sweetest hug ever. I placed my cheek against his chest as his chin rested on top of my head. I said, “I love you so much Justin.” Oh, and did I mention how good he smells? When I got outside the tent I looked back and got a sight of Justin’s red cap and realized that I just had met the one and only Justin Bieber. I had a breakdown on the floor outside the tent. That feeling was just so perfect. This is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I got like a minute with Justin, three hugs without asking for two of them and four pictures. Even though I look really weird in the pictures, it doesn’t matter. I met the boy I’ve loved for four years, I made him laugh, I made him smile, and the best thing of all, I made him blush. Justin also posted a collage on his Twitter from the meet and greet I was at, and my picture was in it! -@3mptyh3art Link: My name is Isabelle, I’m 13 years old, and I live in…
I woke up on that morning feeling very anxious. The time came to take the bus to the arena, and that’s when the real worry kicked in. I knew I had to be calm because I know Justin doesn’t like when people are hysterical. The growing knot in my stomach was more the worry that I would break down crying/hyperventilating in front of him. Arriving outside the waiting area, the atmosphere was fantastic, everywhere you look there were beliebers, speakers blasting Bieber music and even more excited beliebers. I waited until 4 p.m. to check in for the meet and greet. We were then led to a line, and by this point I felt like I needed to throw up. Ryan gave me the wristband and I went upstairs. A few minutes later, Nick Demoura appeared and I had my photo taken with him. Dan Kanter came too, he was so sweet. I gave him a big hug and chatted with him for about 5 minutes before getting a photo as well. My seat for the concert was in Felt E, which was quite a good view. However, I was astonished to hear Ryan ask me, “Where is your seat for the concert?” I began to tell him and he cut me off with, “It doesn’t matter, here’s a wristband for the DIAMOND CIRCLE.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! I’ve seen Scooter give tickets out in ‘Never Say Never,’ but I never thought that could be me! The raffle was drawn during the waiting time, and then the line started to move. I was almost last out of the individual line, so I had time to prepare myself. The next words I heard were, “Step in please miss.” I told myself, “Ok Carly, be calm, prepare yourself and relax.” Justin was standing there, flawless in sunglasses, a hat and a black vest. I can’t say I took in much information about his appearance, but boy… I noticed his mustache! I just remember thinking, “He looks so hot.” He was finishing up with the last people as I shyly said, “Hey” walking in. The next few moments were the best of my life. “Can I have a hug please?” I said, as I wanted to know how wonderful it felt, which it did. “Of course!” he answered. It was a little tight one, which was perfect. I had planned to say, “I’ll support you through everything,” and may have said that whilst hugging him, but it’s a blur so I can’t be sure. We then released the hug and I stood, my back to the camera (so that I could stall time a little) holding his arms. I quickly said, “Can we do a cute picture?” Justin replied with, “A cute picture? Yeah, sure.” He slipped his hand on my waist underneath my blazer! OMG JUSTIN BIEBER WAS HOLDING ME. The picture was snapped and it was time for me to go. I held onto his arm and said, “I love you.” He responded in his raspy low voice, “I love you too.” I smiled at him and walked out of the room, knowing that it went perfectly. I walked a few steps out, still smiling, and then like a ton of bricks, I started screaming with the tears. Nobody even had time to cut my wristband off and I was crouching on the floor weeping. After a few seconds I realized I needed to go so ran out and joined the other weeping. I got my head straight and it was diamond circle time. I ran to the stage and met some really lovely beliebers. It was fun sharing my experience with others. Justin came on and again did an outstanding performance, he looked so good and the energy was fantastic. Even my dad says he is a belieber now after watching the show! I can tell you the wait for the photo was nerve wracking! I had pulled a surprised face in the photograph and I was so scared that I may have overdone it and looked overwhelmed. Luckily, I don’t think it did, and I love it. One word of advice for beliebers; never give up, find a way to meet Justin while he’s in your country and go for it. If you give up, nothing will ever happen, so keep trying and believe! -@carlysinicrope More: I woke up on that morning feeling very anxious. The time came to…
