Mindy McCready is an odd one. In her latest eye-opening public statement, she said that her son Zander is really the only thing stopping her from offing herself. In an interview with ABC’s 20/20 , McCready said the boy “saved my life.” “Every time I wanted to let go and give in, I remember what he did for me,” said McCready, who has attempted suicide at least once. “He is my little angel.” McCready’s previous efforts at suicide and substance abuse are the reasons she no longer has custody of Zander – and feuds with her mother, who does. Mindy and Zander were recently the subject of an interstate manhunt after she allegedly took off with him during a visitation. He is now in foster care. The troubled country singer says that her mom, Gayle Inge, believes herself to be a prophet from God – not exactly a good influence on young Zander. Also, “They see dead people in their home all the time – spirits, demons, ghosts,” explained McCready, who is pregnant again with twins as we speak. McCready also contends Inge has spanked Zander with a wooden spoon hard enough to leave scars. Inge denies the allegation. Until Round 293 …
Second clip from band’s self-titled album is ‘very surreal,’ frontwoman Amy Lee tells MTV News. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Matt Elias Evanescence’s Amy Lee on the set of their “My Heart Is Broken” video Photo: Matt Elias/MTV News Earlier this summer, Evanescence took over a very cramped warehouse in Brooklyn to shoot the back-to-basics video for “What You Want,” the first single from their self-titled (and subsequently chart-topping ) comeback album. For several sweaty hours, Amy Lee and company rocked and roared, performing the song in front of a jam-packed crowd of superfans, most of whom had spent the day queuing up outside, in the heat, just to be part of the production. In the end, all that perspiration was worth it: The ” What You Want ” video was definitely one of the most visceral the band has ever made, capturing both the throttling energy of their live sets and the genuine joy Ev (and their fans) were feeling after four years apart. It was a reunion — a super-charged, super-sweaty one. But now, with their return clicking on all cylinders, Evanescence are prepping the video for “My Heart Is Broken,” the second single from their album. And when MTV News caught up with Lee on the set in Los Angeles, she explained that this time, they’re not going for visceral; they’re going for ethereal. And a lot less sweltering too. “We have an air conditioner this time,” she laughed. “This is going to look a lot different. Actually, I kind of wanted it to be the opposite. The first video, for ‘What You Want,’ was very real, and this is very surreal. ” To help get that surreal feel, Lee explained that she drew inspiration from a decidedly below-the-radar source: the 1988 British fantasy/horror film “Paperhouse,” which stuck with her since she first saw it as a teen. “[It’s about] this girl, and everything that she would draw would come to life in her dreams, and she was creating this dream world for herself. And at first, it was cool, but then it’s like this nightmare,” she explained. “So I sort of thought it would apply, and be cool, to have it be this dream that you’re trapped in. So you’re in a place that, at first, is a magical world, but at the same time, you’re isolated and trapped there, and that’s the reason you want to come back to reality after a time. “We’re playing with fiber optics, and so it’s basically like I’m drawing the world around me from nothingness, and when I draw things with my hands, it’s like they actually come to life,” she continued. “So it’s a lot of fun with creating this surreal dream world, and the guys’ performance is sort of like the dream within the dream, in an abyss of darkness; it’s very cool.” Even though the “Broken” clip delves deep into fantasy, the song itself was actually inspired by a very real (and very awful) situation: sex trafficking. Which is why, Lee said, the idea of being trapped in a nightmare applies so well. A friend of the band’s had started , an organization in New York that helps rescue victims of sex trafficking. “We were having conversations with her, and I was writing at the same time,” Lee said. “And a lot of times when I write, I just sort of make up words, and something will stick, and I’ll be like, ‘Oh, that’s from my subconscious. That’s what I need to write the song about.’ And that sort of happened halfway through. I was like, ‘I think I’m writing about this thing, it’s on my heart,’ just imagining being in such a trapped place and how that might feel, so the song was actually inspired by that idea.” What are you expecting from Evanescence’s new video?

AGAIN?!?! Two victims are confirmed dead at Virginia Tech and the campus is on lockdown after a gunman opened fire Thursday. The suspect in the shooting has not been captured yet. He is described as a white man wearing grey sweats, a grey hat with a neon green brim, a maroon hooded sweatshirt and a backpack, according to the university’s website. An authority, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the AP that shots were fired reportedly after a traffic stop. Individuals on campus began posting photos on their Twitter accounts and RadarOnline.com has obtained one with what appears to be a body covered up with a sheet and yellow police caution tape around it. All transportation in the area has been shut down, CNN reported. The shooting comes more than three years after the 2007 massacre — the deadliest in the country’s contemporary history — in which 23-year-old Virginia Tech student Cho Seung-Hui killed 32 people, then himself. Wow…R.I.P. to the victims, hopefully the cops find this a$$hole before he attempts to kill anyone else. via RadarOnline UPDATE: Witnesses saw the police officer being shot during a traffic stop on campus, and the second victim was found dead at a nearby parking lot toward which the gunman had been seen fleeing, the university said. The status of the shooter was not immediately known, spokesman Mark Owczarski said. Source More On Bossip! RihRih Gets Kushed Up And Goes Drizzy H.A.M.

This chick is lucky to be alive! Aneurysms are often fatal, so the fact that Tamala Jones managed to survive a ruptured aneurysm without any paralysis is a miracle. Jones brush with death happened 14 years ago, when she was 23-years-old, and she was initially nervous about talking about what happened for fear people might treat her differently. Now in an effort to educate the public about brain aneuryms, Tamala Jones shared her survival story with BlackEnterprise.com “[I woke] up one morning with a massive headache; feeling like I had to use the bathroom, like I had to urinate really bad. When I got out of bed I had no balance. I was walking on my toes and I was stomping. When I got to the bathroom, I plopped down on the toilet. I had no control over my body weight. And when I couldn’t go I was like, Oh, my God, I just had to pee really bad and now I don’t have to. Then, I got up because my head was hurting, and I looked in the mirror and I’m telling you two seconds after I looked in that mirror I dropped and hit the floor. I kept hearing myself tell myself, “Get up, get up now. Get up, get up, get up…,” and I kind of woke up as if somebody shook me out of a sleep, and the whole right side of my body was numb. I called work and I told them, “Something’s wrong with me. I can’t come in. I have to go to the hospital.” They told me, “You need to come into work. This is the last day of shooting for this season, and we don’t have time to wait for you to go to the doctor’s office.” [At the time] I was working on For Your Love [a WB sitcom] and I went there and my right arm was stuck in a position. I could not move it. They kept throwing jackets and purses over it trying to cover it. They were like, “You can’t bend your arm?” I’m like, “No!” And my head was still pounding. I went to the hospital after work and the doctor thought that it was a miracle that I was even alive, walking or talking, or that I even worked an entire day before I got to him. After that, I started having seizures. I had MRIs [and] cat scans, and they found out that my aneurysm actually burst. Had it been on another side of my brain I probably would have been paralyzed forever—it was on the left side of my brain and was the size of a 50-cent piece. They said once that blood dried up I would get my feeling back. I really don’t remember anything other than my grandmother coming to get me from my apartment, and me laying in my old room at her house; waking up to use the bathroom and eat. That went on for like three months. The third month I was kind of feeling back to normal. [My grandmother] took me to get shots of B-12, which I still get today, because B-12 really nourishes your nervous system and your brain is a giant nerve. So I tell people, get those B-12 shots, get yourself checked out, get a cat scan as part of your physical that you do once a year. Get everything checked out just to be on the up and up because, again, no one thinks someone 23 will have a brain aneurysm; and it’s hereditary in my family, so I always have to be careful. I hid the fact that I had an aneurysm for a very long time. I was embarrassed and I just felt like no one needed to know because it made me look weak. Who would of thought someone my age, at 23, had a brain aneurysm? My friend’s sister was like 24 and died [from an aneurysm], [and] I’d been hearing about people dying from brain aneurysms. [But] once you get older and you’re in your 30s, all that stuff that doesn’t matter so much in your 20s starts to matter. I had headaches for like three weeks. I took everything, and nothing helped—from sinus medicine to migraine medicine. I say that if you get it checked out right away when you have this headache and it’s continuously going and nothing works then you can save yourself. They can give you something to help you or they can remove it or whatever they need to do. But I felt like it was my duty as a survivor to speak about it. I mention the aneurysm to anybody that I can. Whenever I have a platform for people there that are listening. Because it’s something that happened to me and something that can happen to anybody in this world, if you are given warning then you can probably save your own life. So, I tell anybody. It doesn’t matter why I’m there speaking. I always bring up health some type of way—I segue into having a brain aneurysm at an early age. Whether it’s your heart or your head or your legs or your arms, if it’s too much pain, the doctor’s the only place to go. Not staying at home and wondering if this is ever going to go away. I just thought it was selfish of me not to even say what I survived or what I felt.” Them B-12 shots are the business! Bahleedat! On the real though, that’s crazy her employers made her come to work the day she suffered a ruptured aneurysm. We’re glad Tamala survived. People, PLEASE take care of your health! More On Bossip!

As we previously reported, Vivica A. Fox is no longer engaged to ex-boyfriend, Atlanta party promoter Omar “Slimm” White. Though the actress was ready for marriage and kids, she spoke to Access Hollywood about the “red flags” in relationships and being distracted by good looks. Read excerpts and watch the interview below: “I was ready to do the family thing but unfortunately things didn’t work out. I had the courage to end things before we jumped the broom and wasted a lot of money. I’ve been married before and if there are warning signs, you should pay attention to them before you get families involved with all the hoopla.” “Sometimes when you’re successful you just have to make sure that someone is coming to you with real intentions. That means taking the time to get to know them for real and make sure they’re not dating you as the celebrity but they’re dating you as a person. I mean you are who you are if you are a celebrity. But that does make it a little bit difficult to make sure that someone isn’t marrying you for a shopping spree.” “I told myself I’m going to try something different next time ‘cause I happened to fall in love with a six pack and a smile and look what that’s gotten me.” RELATED: Vivica A.

Gotta love those ex-hustlers with their big hearts. The Jiggaman is plotting on them rich folks pockets in an effort to raise funds for the broke kids who want to go to college. Hip-hop legend Jay-Z said today he will perform two concerts at Carnegie Hall in February to raise money for his scholarship foundation and United Way of New York City. “I want to do my part to make sure everyone has an opportunity,” Jay-Z said in an interview today. “It’s really a shame when someone has drive and really wants to further their education, and they’re unable to because of their financial situation.” The shows will mark the first time a major solo hip-hop act has been booked for an entire show at the storied Manhattan venue, according to Clive Gillinson, Carnegie Hall’s executive and artistic director. Most of the tickets for the Feb. 6 and 7 shows will go on sale Monday and will be priced at $500 to $2,500. They’re aimed at wealthy individuals, such as hedge-fund executives and others tied to Wall Street, Jay-Z said. “This is about connecting people to help other people,” said the artist, whose real name is Shawn Carter. A portion of the tickets will be offered to the public at much lower prices on Jan. 30. Jay-Z’s Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation and United Way will split the proceeds from the ticket sales. The United Way works with families and schools to boost the reading proficiency of children from low-income neighborhoods. Raised in the Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant district, Jay- Z, rose from poverty to become one of hip-hop’s top-selling solo acts. In 2002, he launched his charity with the help of his mother, Gloria Carter. His nonprofit has given away more than $1.3 million to help 750 needy students attend college. “We know we’re going to raise some money and help some people,” Jay-Z said. “But we’re also going to raise the profile of what I’m doing.” Hov is also making history with this one. It will be the first hip-hop “themed” performer at Carnegie Hall. Aight. Source SplashNews More On Bossip! RihRih Gets Kushed Up And Goes Drizzy H.A.M.

Looked like this was gonna a quiet, mature break up for a second, didn’t it? But yesterday, someone just had to ask Auntie Vivica exactly what went wrong between her and her little Tenderoni Toni and while she didn’t exactly offer details, she made it clear that she won’t be cougar-ing it up in that way anymore… or at least not any time soon. “I told myself I’m going to try something different next time ’cause I happen to fall in love with a six-pack and a smile and look what that’s gotten me,” she told “Access Hollywood.” However, she hasn’t found a new guy yet. As many people do after heartbreak, she’s taking some time for herself now. “I’m enjoying being single for a little while and regrouping and focusing on myself and my career and being happy and positive,” she said. Vivica didn’t give a concrete answer to the question of why she and Slimm ended things, but when asked about dating in Hollywood, she may have hinted that Slimm was more interested in her celebrity than her as a person. “Sometimes when you’re successful you just have to make sure that someone is coming to you with real intentions. That means taking the time to get to know them for real and make sure they’re not dating you as the celebrity,” she said. “That does make it a little bit difficult to make sure that someone isn’t marrying you for a shopping spree.” Oooooooooh! While it’s clear that marriage was on both of their minds, Vivica admitted that the relationship had its issues. “Sometimes in relationships there are warning signs, and I think that … if there are warning signs, then you should pay attention to them before you get families involved and all the hoopla. And if things aren’t working out, it’s okay to move on,” she said. The full interview, unfortunately, is no longer online. But it didn’t disappear before Slimm got a chance to see it. Which, of course, meant he had to fire back.
In late September, on KNUS’ Kelley and Company, Rep. Mike Coffman said Social Security was “obviously” a ponzi scheme . Kelley let it fly by, but I thought this should have been picked up by journalists, since it came from Coffman, especially given that Rick Perry, who was surging at the time, had just called Social Security a ponzi scheme. After I posted it on my blog, Coffman’s comment was reported… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : ColoradoPols.com – Front Page Discovery Date : 08/12/2011 14:26 Number of articles : 2
