Cheers??? According to TMZ reports : Social workers from the LA County Department of Children and Family Services will arrive at Mariah Carey’s house any moment to conduct a formal interview with the singer — after receiving an anonymous complaint that she drank a beer while breast feeding … TMZ has learned. DCFS launched the investigation after someone complained Mariah drank a Guinness in the hospital after giving birth to her twins about a month ago. We’re told DCFS social workers will ask Mariah about the widely reported incident and interview others in the house as well. The investigation is curious because hospital workers were closely monitoring Mariah and fully saw what was going on in her room. Sources tell us someone from the hospital told Mariah it would be beneficial to drink a dark beer — like a Guinness — to assist her in lactating. We’re told Mariah took the advice and drank a Guinness and in no way hid what she was doing from hospital staff — assuming it was fine to do. Several people connected with DCFS are privately critical of the agency for honing in on anonymous tips against celebrities … and devoting “extensive resources” when the agency should be looking at serious cases of abuse. How the hell you JUST have your babies and already find yourself in trouble with child services?!? You’re walkin’ a very fine line Mrs. Cannon, better lay off the sauce ma’am…
President Barack Obama and his family attended the Easter Sunday service at Shiloh Baptist Church, which was founded by freed slaves in 1863. The first family entered the church to a standing ovation, then joined in singing with the choir, backed by a live band that included a guitar, keyboard and drums. Rev. Wallace Charles Smith welcomed the Obamas, noting the congregants pray for them every Sunday. At collection time, Obama and his daughters gave money in envelopes provided at their seats. The first family left after two hours, as the service approached its conclusion. The president and his family have attended services occasionally since moving to the White House in January 2009. Last Easter, the Obamas worshipped at a Methodist church. And for a special Easter treat check out some throwback images of a young Barack and his mother Stanley Ann Dunham… Source
Damn, so that’s what’s going on now? Beating senior citizens to death?? SMH A 61-year-old Bronx man was stomped to death in front of his home early yesterday when he got mixed up in a fight between a crazed man and a woman, police said. Quentin Guerrero, 61, was attacked at 1:30 a.m. in front of 480 E. 138th St. in Mott Haven by ex-con Kendall Major, 35, and his girlfriend, Tosheba Alford, 20, authorities said. “It was brutal. It was terrible,” said a 47-year-old livery cabdriver who tried to break up the fight. “There were a lot of people watching from their windows and no one was doing anything.” Oscar Porata, 58, who lives on the block, said: “I heard a loud thump, like someone hitting the floor, and that’s when I looked out and saw someone unconscious on the ground.” The couple was in a cab when they started arguing and hopped out near where Guerrero was standing, sources said. When Guerrero, a former Verizon technician, tried to speak with Alford, things turned sour, the sources added. Alford attacked Guerrero and Major kicked him repeatedly, said the cabby. Guerrero was rushed to Lincoln Hospital, where he died. Major and Alford, who live together in Far Rockaway, Queens, were charged with murder. We’re glad that the police charged both of these two with the murder. We’ve heard a lot of ignorant behavior in our day, but this sh*t right here… Source
Florida Republican Representative, Allen West, took to Fox News yesterday and completely disrespected President Obama in an interview with the conservative news channel’s Greta Van Susteren yesterday. We all know that Fox is no fan of the first Black Family in any capacity and Brotha West went on record to express just how he feels. Not only did he fail to acknowledge him as President, he made a point to stress his middle name, “Hussein,” whenever he referred to him. As if that’s not disrespectful enough, he called him a ‘low level socialist agitator’ who ‘never even ran a lemonade stand.’ While it’s no surprise that the Fox correspondent completely agreed with West’s enflamed statements, this beesh starts bringing up old sh*t ‘out of curiosity!’ She questioned whether West believed that Obama was unaware of his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright’s, ‘appalling’ references to white people. And just like the coon he is for the day, he insinuated that President Obama wasn’t being honest about how he really feels. SMH Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) stood by eyebrow-raising remarks he recently made about President Barack Obama during an interview with Fox News host Greta Van Susteren on Thursday night. Speaking recently on “The Laura Ingraham Show,” West asserted that the president demonstrated “third world dictator-like arrogance” in delivering a speech on the federal budget and government spending. “I do stand by those words,” said the conservative congressman, who was elected into office last November with support from the Tea Party movement. “The truth needs to be said.” “I am sick and tired of this class warfare, this Marxist, demagogic rhetoric that is coming from the President of the United States of America,” West explained. “It is not helpful for this country and it’s not going to move the ball forward as far as rectifying the economic situation in our country. And I’m not going to back away from telling what the truth is.” The freshman lawmaker took issue with the way in which the president has regarded Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who recently introduced a controversial budget proposal for the next fiscal year. “I think that when you look at what a community organizer is turning out to be, it does seem to be like a low-level socialist agitator,” he said. Last weekend, West and Donald Trump were the keynote speakers at a Tea Party rally in Florida. The congressman told Newsmax at the time that he hopes the billionaire is serious about considering running for president in the next election cycle. “This is not a time for any jokes, games or gimmicks, and I hope he is very serious,” said West, who also declined to rule out running on a ticket with Trump in 2012. Allen, Trump, Fox News and the rest of the people who are completely displeased with Obama’s performance, that’s fine – they are entitled to their opinion – but they all deserve an emphatic HO. SIT. DOWN. The people voted and elected the current POTUS and If the GOP continues to showcase their jokes, also known as representatives and nominees, the 2012 election will be another easy sweep towards the left. That is all. Source

We appreciate your honesty sir, but you certainly are an ignorant mickiefickie… New York – UConn’s star guard concedes that he’s only read one book cover-to-cover in his entire life… and yet somehow managed to complete college in three years. Earlier this month, Kemba Walker led the University of Connecticut Huskies to victory in the NCAA men’s basketball championship. The hardworking star guard is now slated to go pro, and is expected to earn a degree after just three years at UConn. Given the number of college stars who turn pro without graduating, Walker’s academic commitment had been widely celebrated… until now. In a Sports Illustrated interview, the 20-year-old made a “ridiculous” admission: He’s just finished his first book, William C. Rhoden’s Forty Million Dollar Slaves: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of the Black Athlete. “That’s true,” Walker told SI. “You can write that. It is the first book I’ve ever read.” What does Walker’s rather short reading list say about the state of college athletics? This is unbelievable: “How does anyone graduate from a Division I university — in three years, no less! — without ever finishing a single book in his life?” asks Dashiell Bennett at Business Insider. Simply remarkable. But, hey, at least the one book he has read probably has a chapter on education, or lack thereof, in college athletics. It shows just how entitled college athletes are: “I’m sick of pundits saying these kids should be paid on top of being given, oh, just a couple hundred thousand dollars in scholarship money,” says Matt Kiebus at Death + Taxes. Not only do college athletes get “an invaluable college education for free,” they also, it seems, have to put in a fraction of the academic effort as their peers. Who else but a celebrated athlete could skate through college without reading a book? Teachers and coaches are also complicit: “Walker’s teachers and coaches — both in high school and college — had to have been well aware of any academic shortcomings, but all were ignored in order for these schools to have a winning team,” says Hayat Mohamed at The Root. This is “seriously wrong,” and Walker alone is not to blame. “He was clearly robbed of a true education,” and now, “yet another undereducated black man joins the league — way to go, NBA.” Let it be known that there is nothing cool about this at all. Everyone doesn’t have the same thirst for reading and we understand that, but to be 20 years old and only read one book in your life is just plain sad. Get it together please. Source
Take a close look, particularly where we edited the words. Do you see it? Yes, they do in fact say “McStinkyN***er and McNigSh*t where the customer’s name should be. The receipts are at the center of Mark McHenry’s lawsuit against the Landmark Steakhouse in Corona Del Mar, California. In a federal lawsuit filed last Friday, McHenry–who is African-American–alleged Landmark employees replaced his name on credit card receipts with crude racial slurs–this, despite the fact he was a regular customer at Landmark.

Talib is sticking with his socially-conscious image while also “sticking it” to Billy Dee’s favorite drink! Talib Kweli Shuts Down Colt 45 Partnership Apparently Talib Kweli isn’t much of a Colt 45 fan. After hearing news that the malt liquor brand was on board as a sponsor for his upcoming show at the Granada Theater in Kansas next week, the Brooklyn rapper quickly blocked the partnership.

Khloe Kardashian can officially add another major first to her name, in addition to being Kris Jenner’s first married child. And this first is a much greater accomplishment than marrying a Laker, if you ask us. Khloe is the first cover girl for the brand new Cosmopolitan Middle East. Yes, the same Cosmo that runs pieces like “A Girl’s Guide to Oral Sex” and the “How to Score the Big O Everytime” has a Middle Eastern edition. We’re pretty sure their Middle Eastern readers won’t be getting the type of advice Cosmo doles out here in the U.S. or the freaky sh*t they probably cover in their French and British editions. Considering that one is an unwed mom and the other is best known for her hoe sh*t, we probably won’t ever see Kourtney or Kim on Cosmo MidEast… So enjoy Khloe’s interview. Which is actually pretty good. No, really/
