So Sad: Family Reportedly Gathering At Atlanta Hospital To Say Final Goodbyes To Bobbi Kristina

Family Reportedly Saying Goodbye To Bobbi Kristina Things are looking especially grim for Bobbi Kristina who remains in a medically induced coma after being found face down in a bath tub Saturday. As previously reported her brain function has allegedly continued to diminish and now a new report claims that her family is gathering to say their final goodbyes. People Magazine reports: It wasn’t the news that Bobbi Kristina Brown’s family wanted to hear. On Wednesday, four days after the 21-year-old was found unresponsive in her home, a doctor told her family that nothing more could be done. “Everyone is coming to the hospital to say goodbye,” says a family member. The news was especially devastating to her father, Bobby Brown. “Bobby has been crying nonstop since yesterday,” says the source. “We are grieving.” A second family member went by the hospital overnight to say goodbye – and admits that the devastating news is hard to believe. “If you saw her, you’d think she was just sleeping,” says the source. But even with the bleakest prognosis, the family is still clinging to some hope. “It’s sinking in that this is it,” says the second family member, “but we’re all still praying that God will intervene and heal her body.” This latest bit of news is so disheartening; continue to pray for her and her family.

Black Excellence: ‘Awkward Black Girl’ Creator Issa Rae Gets HBO Pilot Order Of Her New Comedy

Issa Rae’s Comedy Series Picked Up By HBO After seemingly landing an ABC show “[I Hate L.A. Dudes”]co-written by Shonda Rhimes that was later passed up on, Issa Rae has some new exciting news to share. The “Misadventures Of Awkward Black Girl” creator’s new comedy series “Insecure” has been picked up by HBO. Deadline reports: HBO is moving ahead with Insecure, giving a pilot order to the comedy project starring Issa Rae.

These are also themes Rae has tackled in her successful webseries, The Misadventures Of Awkward Black Girl, which won a Shorty Award. The project was originally set up at HBO in summer 2013. Wilmore now has a late-night talk show on Comedy Central, so the extent of his future involvement in Insecure is still being figured out, but he remains attached as an executive producer alongside Rae. 3 Arts is producing the project, with Michael Rotenberg, Dave Becky and Jonathan Berry serving as executive producers. Search is underway for a director and showrunner. Rae’s online content has garnered over 20 million views and nearly 200,000 YouTube subscribers.

Justin Bieber Apology Video: I’m a Person Who Cares! I’m Kind and Loving and Gentle and Soft!

Justin Bieber, looking to turn over a new leaf, followed up a contrite appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show with a video apology to his fans. The pop singer, whose downward spiral has become the stuff of legend in recent years, posted an emotional mea culpa to Facebook late last night … Justin Bieber Apologizes for Actions As we told you earlier, Justin Bieber broke down on Ellen , admitting he was nervous in front of the audience but coming clean about his bad behavior. Without getting into specifics, such as egging homes, peeing in buckets, acting like a jackass in court depositions and so on, he told DeGeneres: “I’ve done some things that might not have been the greatest. I just want to be able to, you know, just kind of own up to some of the things.” On the Facebook video, the soon-to-be 21-year-old addressed his fans – and the Ellen interview, during which he was noticeably awkward. He seemed to chalk that up to how seriously he takes his own actions. Bieber said he hoped he didn’t come off like he was “arrogant or conceited, or basically how I’ve been acting the past year, year and a half.” “I’m not who I was pretending to be. Often we pretend to be something we’re not as a cover-up of what we’re truly feeling inside,” Justin said. Justin Bieber Opens Up on Ellen “There was a lot of feelings going on in there, just being young and growing up in this business. It’s been hard. Growing up in general is hard.” “I really want people to know how much I care about people, and how I’m not that person to say ‘I don’t give a f–k. You know, I’m not that kid.” “I’m a person who genuinely cares,” he adds. “And although what’s happened in the past has happened, I just want to make the best impression on people.” Justin Bieber, in the eyes of Justin Bieber, is “kind and loving and gentle and soft. And although people can call me a softie, that’s how my mom raised me.” Actions, as they say, speak louder than words, but he’s certainly using all the right ones as he looks to turn things around in his career and life. With the Comedy Central roast of Justin Bieber approaching, he’s looking to atone and be at peace with the past, while making his future brighter. A bold ambition given his past antics, but we’ll see where he takes it … 25 Reasons Justin Bieber Needs to Get Punched 1. He Bragged About Taking Selena Gomez’s Virginity The guy actually had the nerve to brag about how he took Selena Gomez’s v-card and how she was so in love with him at the time. Classy move.

Jon Stewart: More Trusted Than MSNBC!

Jon Stewart isn’t even a real news broadcaster, but the Comedy Central figure is more trusted to deliver news than MSNBC, a new study found. According to a new survey by the Brookings Institution and the Public Religion Research Institute, the public trusts him more than a 24/7 news channel. Jon Stewart: Better Than MSNBC at News! The organizations did a study about immigration and the media that contained within it a broader question about which news outlet the public trusts most. Fox News came in first, as per usual; the network has been consistently named both the most and the least trusted name in news. Let’s hear it for polarization! Unfortunately for MSNBC, it was dead last, with just 5 percent of Americans saying they trusted it most … 8 percent, by comparison, chose The Daily Show . Another study showed that Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert did a better job at informing people about campaign finance issues than traditional outlets. Colbert, of course, is taking over for David Letterman on CBS’ The Late Show next year, where he will likely still outpace MSNBC in viewer trust. Classic Jon Stewart 1.
