Emily Maynard Remembers Ricky Hendrick on Death Anniversary

Emily Maynard’s fiance, Ricky Hendrick, died in a tragic plane crash in 2004. Tuesday, on the anniversary of his death, The Bachelorette star tweeted a Bible verse as a poignant reminder that he is still present in her life and her daughter Ricki’s. Emily Maynard wrote, citing 1 Corinthians 2:9 … “However, as it is written: ‘What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived – the things God has prepared for those who love him.'” She also linked to the the above photo collage. “Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy,” she captioned the touching image above. Emily, of course, has found love (and reality stardom) twice in the years since – although things didn’t work out with Brad Womack or Jef Holm in the end. Still, the two were spotted together in Charlotte, N.C., last weekend, so perhaps there’s hope of a reconciliation? Only time will tell if it was more than a one-shot deal. Either way, Ricky will always be there for Ricki, and Emily.

Anti-Gay Group Protests Upcoming Jennifer Lopez-Produced Series

One Million Moms is at it again. The anti-gay organization, which has taken exception to Ellen DeGeneres and The New Normal in the past, is now setting its sights on The Fosters , an upcoming ABC Family series produced by Jennifer Lopez. The drama will center on a multi-ethnic family headed by a lesbian couple. One Million Moms – which has not actually seen the show, of course – is urging folks to write in their objections to the network and have released a statement on their website that reads: A premiere date has not been set, but One Million Moms wanted to sound the alarm about this new series. It will be airing on the network soon unless we do something about it. They are in the beginning stages. ABC Family reported the comedy-drama pilot, working with the title The Fosters, is about two women raising a “21st century,” multi-ethnic mix of foster and biological kids. While foster care and adoption is a wonderful thing and the Bible does teach us to help orphans, this program is attempting to redefine marriage and family by having two moms raise these children together. One Million Moms is not sure how the explanation will be given on how the biological children were conceived. None of this material is acceptable content for a family show. Hollywood is continuing to push an agenda that homosexuality is acceptable when scripture states clearly it is a sin. As Christians, the Bible also says that we must speak up against sin. If we remain silent then we are guilty of sin also. What do you think, THGers? Are you on board with this protest? Or might One Million Moms being overreacting by about one million percent?

Stuntin On These Old Heads: Denzel Washington Covers GQ Magazine

But I can’t teach you my swag… Denzel Washington Covers GQ Magazine Veteran Hollyweird man-candy Denzel Washington is showing these young bucks that he’s still got it. The Oscar-Award winning actor graces the cover of October’s issue of GQ magazine and talks that talk about who influences him as an actor, who he’d want to play him in a biopic and offers some words of wisdom to live by. Check out a few excerpts from the interview below: Is there an actor who has influenced you? There’s a scene in The Godfather II. De Niro’s in a theater. And he’s looking back. It’s just a look. I don’t think I’ve ever imitated another actor, but there’s nothing wrong with learning from them. Do you have any code you live by? I read from the Bible every day, and I read my Daily Word. I read something great yesterday. It said, “Don’t aspire to make a living. Aspire to make a difference.” We interrupt this interview for a moment of silence to marvel at this masterpiece of a man… Ok. As you were…. In some ways, you’re a cipher. There’s not much you put out there. But that’s not my job to put stuff out there. Sidney Poitier told me this years ago: “If they see you for free all week, they won’t pay to see you on the weekend, because they feel like they’ve seen you. If you walk by the magazine section in the supermarket and they’ve known you all their life, there’s no mystery. They can’t take the ride.” My professional work is being a better actor. I don’t know how to be a celebrity. When the Denzel biopic is made, what would an actor need to have in his performance to make you say, “He got me”? That suggests I know what it is, and I don’t want to know what it is. That’s part of the mystery. It is what it is. I don’t go, “I gotta make sure I put some of that Denzel Washington-ism in the movie.” I don’t want tricks. I don’t want to lose my mojo. This man’s swag is truly timeless. These young black Hollyweirders have some pretty big shoes to fill if they plan on coming for this throne anytime soon. You’re welcome, ladies.

D.L. Hughley Breaks Up With Chick-fil-A in Open Letter, Laments End of Love Affair

Breaking up is hard to do, but sometimes, things change and you have to move on. So says D.L. Hughley in calling it quits with Chick-fil-A. The comedian penned a letter to The Huffington Post confirming the split , saying he and the chain are “growing in two different directions.” Mainly on account of Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy’s stance against gay marriage , of course. Here’s what Hughley had to say about it… Hughley said he felt forced to “choose between my heart and my stomach,” but had no choice, since “baby, lately you’ve been doing me dirty.” “You’ve been speaking with a forked tongue, spewing hate instead of frying love,” the comedian deadpanned … Ed Helms would surely agree. “Who would have thought a chicken sandwich would become a symbol for both free speech and intolerance at the same time?” While supporting Chick-fil-A’s boss’ right to believe and vote how he pleases, Hughley lamented Cathy’s use of Bible verses to make his point. “You say that gay marriage is a sin, like in Leviticus 19:22. But a preceding verse, Leviticus 17:14, says, ‘You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.” “You don’t cook your chicken in a kosher way. On what grounds are you picking and choosing which edicts to follow?” “But like the Good Book says, we need sanctuaries in this world, places where a man can go to escape his thoughts. That used to be you.” “Now I have to wonder if I’m doing the right thing when I step inside your doors, if I am subsidizing perspectives that I am vehemently opposed to.” “Ignorance is bliss, girl, especially in your industry.” Hughley adds that Chick-fil-A changed, not him. “So Chick-fil-A, baby, I guess what I’m struggling to say, as I fight back the tears and wipe the grease from my fingers, is this … It’s not that I don’t love you.” “we both know that’s not true. I know I’ll never find another like you. But baby, we are growing in two different directions. I’m afraid I won’t be able to see you anymore.” What about you? Are you breaking up with Chick-fil-A too?

Random Ridiculousness: Phoenix Man Arrested For Holding Bible Study In His Home Begins Jail Sentence

Phoenix Man Arrested For Holding Bible Study Begins Jail Sentence More ridiculous law enforcement tactics in Arizona… A Phoenix man who violated city zoning laws by hosting a Bible study in the privacy of his home has started serving a 60-day jail sentence for his crimes. Michael Salman was found guilty in the City of Phoenix Court of 67 code violations. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail along with three years of probation and a $12,180 fine. A spokesperson for the city attorney confirmed that Salman reported to a county jail Monday afternoon. Salman’s incarceration is the result of a long-running feud between the ordained pastor and the city of Phoenix over weekly Bible studies that Salman and his wife hosted in their home. City officials determined that the weekly gatherings constituted a church – and therefore violated a number of code regulations. The controversy erupted in 2009 when nearly a dozen police officers raided the Salman’s home and a 2,000 square foot building in their backyard. The family had moved their Bible study into the building after the group outgrew their living room. The charges that sent Salman to jail were a result of that raid – ranging from not posting exit lights above their doors – to not having handicap ramps or handicap parking. Salman told Fox News Radio the attacks on his family were nothing more than a crackdown on religious liberty. But city officials said it was a matter of zoning and proper permitting – not religious freedom. They said he was given a permit to convert a garage into a game room – not a church. And to think people have skipped out on a jail sentence for much, much worse .  SMH. Source Images via Shutterstock

Interstate Hate: The Shady Azz State Of Georgia Konsiders Klan Application To “Do Something Positive” By Adopting A Stretch Of Highway

You can’t be serious… The Klan Applies To Adopt A Highway In North Georgia The Ku Klux Klan has applied to adopt a stretch of highway in northern Georgia, setting off a battle between a state representative condemning the application and the group’s ardent but anonymous leaders. “The state of Georgia is absolutely shameful in even considering an application from the KKK,” Democratic Georgia State Representative Tyrone Brooks told ABCNews.com. “If the state will accept an application from the KKK, we may as well get ready to accept applications from the Nazi party, Taliban, Al Qaeda and Aryan Nation.” The group, the International Keystone Knights of the KKK, denied Brooks’ comments. “What we’re trying to do is something positive and this Tyrone Brooks is trying to raise a stink about it. We just want to do something good for the community,” a representative of the KKK group, who would only agree to be identified as the “Imperial Wizard,” told ABCNews.com. The man was adamant that his real name not be used, in order to protect his job and family, he said. “[Brooks is] coming out and calling the Klan a terrorist organization. Prove it in black and white that the U.S. government has labeled us a terrorist organization,” the Imperial Wizard said. “Prove it. He needs to prove it. I challenge him.” When attempting to defend the Klan’s history of violence and hate the “Grand Wizard” says: “I’m a separatist. I’m not a racist. I believe in the separation of the races. It was originally printed in the Bible.” *Side-eyes this fool AND the state of Georgia* Image via AP Source

The Bachelorette Season Synopsis Released; Emily Maynard to Travel a Lot

ABC has released, in the form of a season overview, more details of Emily Maynard ‘s search for love, commencing Monday, May 14 on The Bachelorette . While kicking things off in her hometown of Charlotte, Emily will travel to Dubrovnik, Croatia; Prague, Czech Republic; and London, England this summer. Read The Bachelorette spoilers we’ve pulled together so far regarding which men make it to the hometown dates and more, then read ABC’s rundown: The 26-year-old former Bachelor winner first meets her 25 suitors at a southern mansion for a cocktail party after putting six-year-old daughter Ricki to bed. Several of Maynard’s bachelors will attempt to make memorable first impressions during their arrivals as always … that’s par for the course on this show. Think actual glass slippers being presented, dudes riding in on skateboards, a party MC who breaks down into dance, and a gesture from a true southern gentleman who gives Emily something to symbolize how he’d protect her and Ricki. In addition, Maynard will also encounter one suitor who makes a grand entrance in a helicopter … is it Brad Womack? Is it Bentley Williams? No and no. The promos always mislead you that way … The Bachelorette Promo Anyway, once the cocktail party begins, the competition to impress Maynard only intensifies, as a “confident” charmer gets upstaged by a single dad of six. A “handsome” man gives her a pair of custom bobblehead dolls, a bachelor is nervous to explain his career because it may remind her of her late fiance, and another single father brings her a heartfelt letter from his 11-year-old son to read. The mood then turns serious when host Chris Harrison arrives and reveals it’s time for Maynard to present one of the men with a first impression rose. The men will become increasingly competitive, as Emily decides to award the special rose to one “charming” bachelor … a decision surprising nobody. The Bachelorette season premiere will conclude with Maynard whittling her 25 bachelors down to 19. But she’s just getting started at that juncture. Emily Maynard’s around-the-world dates will include: Traveling to Bermuda where she must eliminate three bachelors before leaving. Visiting London for a week where she’ll receive a double-decker bus tour of Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park along with a solo dinner in the Tower of London and watching a group of suitors perform scenes from “Romeo and Juliet” in Stratford-on-Avon. Traveling to Dubrovnik where she’lll watch Pixar’s upocoming Brave movie and a group of bachelors will compete in a round of Highland games to win extra time with her. Going to Prague where Maynard and her remaining bachelors will enjoy a private dinner cruise down the Vltava River, explore a medieval castle, and check out the Lennon Wall of Love and a spooky dungeon. After four hometown dates, the final three men will then have “exotic” overnight dates with Maynard in an undisclosed location. According to ABC, obviously “there are surprises in store for Emily that will shake her world.” Color us shocked and in utter disbelief.
