THIS is why Republicans are pieces of isht!! An email recently sent by Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal (R-Hutchinson) to his Republican colleagues appears to endorse a controversial prayer that some say calls for the untimely death of President Obama. “Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8.” That’s the slogan an email from O’Neal refers to, a phrase that’s become popular in some circles on bumper stickers and other merchandise. The bible passage itself reads, “Let his days be few; and let another take his office.” The real controversy arises in the next verse of Psalm 109, however, which continues, “May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.” In a message accompanying the email, O’Neal writes: “At last — I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up — it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!” O’Neal’s office has insisted that his use of the psalm was referring only to the first segment, which they say simply shows support for Obama to be replaced as president, via an election, as soon as possible. As out-of-pocket as this son-of-a-beyotch is, we’re not surprised based on some of the other emails that this johnson-slobberer has sent in the past… O’Neal’s email supporting Psalm 109.8 wasn’t the only email that emerged to stir controversy either. Earlier this month, O’Neal apologized for an email, also forwarded to his GOP colleagues, that referred to First Lady Michelle Obama as Mrs. YoMama and compared her to the Grinch. Let’s take a minute to read Psalm 109 shall we? ‘When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labor. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.’ Wonder if this a$$hole would have sent this email about a WHITE President…SMH Source More On Bossip!

From the King of Pop to the Boss, the Super Bowl stage has played host to some memorable performances; MTV News looks back on the best. By James Montgomery Madonna Photo: Martin Fraser/ Getty Images On Sunday night, Madonna will join an exclusive club that includes the likes of Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Diana Ross and, uh, Up With People when she performs at halftime of Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis. Yes, you’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger stage than the big game — last year’s Super Bowl was watched by some 111 million Americans — which is why the producers of the halftime festivities always recruit the biggest stars to perform (except for 1999, when Big Bad Voodoo Daddy inexplicably found their way into the proceedings). And Madonna most certainly fits that bill, which is why, while we’re not quite sure what she’ll bring to the Super Bowl stage — aside from her promise that it’ll be “the greatest show on earth” — we’re reasonably confident that it’ll be a performance folks will be talking about on Monday. And probably Tuesday too. Of course, if Madge wants to secure her spot among the all-time greatest Super Bowl halftime performances, well, she’ll definitely have to deliver the goods. Over the years, some of the most prodigious talents have gotten lost in all of the ephemera that comes with a Super Bowl slot (lasers, explosions, confetti, marching bands, will.i.am), but still others have risen to the challenge, delivering performances that have thrilled, chilled and even made us forget about the game itself. Here’s a look at our favorite Super Bowl halftime performances. Check out photos of past Super Bowl halftime shows! Diana Ross, Super Bowl XXX : The dynamic Diana stole the show in 1996 with a classy, brassy performance that featured nearly as many of her biggest hits as it did costume changes. Her voice was in prime form, powerful enough to outshine a full gospel choir, an army of tuxedo-clad dancers and, of course, end-zone pyrotechnics. But it was her exit — lifted from the stage via helicopter, while blowing kisses as the chorus of “Take Me Higher” blasted through the stadium — that truly put this one over the top. Prince, Super Bowl XLI : Not even a near-constant downpour could dampen this 2007 performance from the Purple One, who stalked across a custom “symbol” stage (while wearing a kerchief tied around his head), wailed on approximately 46 guitar solos, begged the audience to “take my picture,” out-watted the famed FAMU marching band, covered the Foo Fighters and even managed to freak out network censors by casting a lengthy (and quite phallic) shadow from behind a piece of fabric. So, you know, it was just your average Prince show. Oh, and then he did “Purple Rain” in the rain. Meta. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Super Bowl XLIII : They opened with Springsteen leaning on Clarence Clemons (a nod to the cover of 1975’s Born to Run ), begged the viewing audience to “put down the chicken fingers,” and then absolutely, positively destroyed the stage in Tampa with a set that featured classics like “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out,” “Born to Run” and “Glory Days.” And then Springsteen finished things off by shouting, “I’m going to Disneyland!”As several fans have come to say, this wasn’t a halftime performance, it was a football game played around a Springsteen concert. As an added bonus, this is also the performance that gave us the now-immortal meme. Michael Jackson, Super Bowl XXVII : It started with the late, great King of Pop magically leaping from the Rose Bowl scoreboards to his stage on the 50-yard line, featured a staggering 3,000 dancers, some killer choreography (the Moonwalk!) and a career-spanning medley of Jackson’s hits (everything from “Billie Jean” to “Black or White”). And as if MJ’s performance wasn’t testament to his superstardom, how about the 90-second ovation he received before ever singing a word? It was almost enough to make one young writer forget the Bills were on their way to losing a third-straight Super Bowl. Almost. U2, Super Bowl XXXVI : If there is another band on the planet more capable of seizing the moment than U2, well, we’d like to meet them. In this case, that meant performing at the first Super Bowl since the 9/11 attacks, before an audience of millions still reeling and recovering. And, in typical form, Bono and company didn’t shrink from the spotlight. Though there were more than a few highlights, their solemn, spiritual performance of “Where the Streets Have No Name” — which saw the names of all the victims of 9/11 projected behind them — was not only the most memorable of the night, it’s without a doubt the most memorable (and chill-inducing) in Super Bowl history. And then, to top it all off, Bono pulled back his jacket to reveal an American flag. Game over. What songs do you want Madonna to perform during the halftime show?

Dear Will Smith and Jada Smith: please stop fighting and keep a better eye on your daughter. Look what happens otherwise… Indeed, 11-year old Willow Smith took to her WhoSay account last night and posted a photo of herself, head newly shaven, taken at a ballet class. She included the caption, “Dance your feelings out…” Why make such a drastic move? Willow’s stylist, Rob Zangardi, simply tells Us Weekly : “She is young, edgy, and individual.” So much for whipping her hair all around.
How appropriate. After a sneak peek on American Idol last night, Super Bowl halftime act Madonna’s music video for “Give Me All Your Luvin'” has debuted, and it’s football-themed! The 53-year-old superstar is lifted up by football players, who even take bullets for the Material Girl, while M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj serve as her cheerleaders. The trio even pays homage to Marilyn Monroe, with curly blonde bobs, diamonds and white lacey dresses. Is the end result any good, though? You tell us. Madonna is expected to perform “Give Me All Your Luvin'” as part of her Super Bowl halftime performance Sunday in Indianapolis. Watch the video below! Madonna – Give Me All Your Luvin’ (Feat. M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj) What do you think of Madonna’s new video?
It’s all come down to this: New York Giants vs. New England Patriots, The Rematch! These two rivals will go at it again in Super Bowl XLVI, four years after an epic 17-14 upset that cost New England the first 19-0 in league history. So, which team will come out on top this time? THG analyzes the big game from every angle below – except the commercials – and makes a bold prediction… RANDOM TOWN THEY PLAY IN AND NO ONE WOULD KNOW EXISTED OTHERWISE Giants: East Rutherford, NJ Patriots: Foxboro, MA Edge: Patriots NUMBER OF SUPERMODELS ASKING FRIENDS TO PRAY FOR THEIR STARTING QUARTERBACK OF A HUSBAND Giants: Zero Patriots: One Edge: Giants POINTS SCORED IN PREVIOUS SUPER BOWL MEETING Giants: 17 Patriots: 14 Edge: Giants HAVE NEVER ONCE EMPLOYED … Giants: Cheerleaders Patriots: A star wideout who shot himself at a nightclub Edge: Patriots BASEBALL TEAM WITH WHICH THEY SHARE A HOME STATE Giants: Yankees Patriots: Red Sox Edge: Giants SUPER BOWLS WON BY BILL BELICHICK Giants: 2 (XXI, XXV as Defensive Coordinator) Patriots: 3 (XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX as Head Coach) Edge: Patriots FOOD RELATED HOME TOWN NICKNAME Giants: The Big Apple Patriots: Beantown Edge: Even SONGS POPULARIZING CITY Giants: “New York, New York” (Frank Sinatra); “New York State of Mind” (Billy Joel); “Empire State of Mind” (Jay-Z Ft.

The G-Men take this one 5-3-2. WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN?
The Internet is abuzz with reports that Eddie Murphy is dead. He is not. We repeat: Twitter is not a news source. Eddie Murphy is 100% alive. Sources close to the Tower Heist star have already debunked the hoax, just the latest in a long line of online pranks designed to fake kill a star for some reason. The frenzy was initially sparked by MediaFetcher (dot) com, then spread like wildfire thanks to Twitter. This site is believed to be responsible for spinning bogus stories about other numerous celebrities they claim are dead but are not. The Bon Jovi death hoax was a different guy, but Cher, Charlie Sheen, TooShort, The Rock, Kevin Bacon, Luke Perry, Jack Black, Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Tom Green, Tiger Woods, George Clooney and others have fallen victim of late. All are still alive and kicking. Thank goodness. [Photo: WENN.com]
The late Leslie Carter (married name Leslie Carter Ashton) died earlier this week . While Leslie Carter’s cause of death was an apparent overdose of prescription drugs, the 25-year-old’s trouble with depression was a long time in the making. It stemmed in large part from the fact that “She thought she would become the next famous Carter sibling,” says a source who once managed her brothers. In Leslie’s case, although signed to DreamWorks Records, stardom eluded her. Backstreet Boys singer Nick, of course, became very successful, as did younger brother Aaron. Leslie (below, right) felt great pressure to follow in their footsteps. “She was always extremely happy for her brothers, don’t get me wrong,” says the source, in an interview with People magazine. “But it was tough for her.” According to sources close to the family, Leslie remained supportive of her brothers. At various family events, she would happily appear alongside them. When all five siblings signed on for the E! show House of Carters , Leslie was an enthusiastic participant. “She really loved the attention,” says the source. But according to a police report, Leslie’s stepmother, Ginger, stated that Leslie “had a history of mental illness and was on medication for her depression.” Life in the Carter family was nearly always chaotic. In 2003, Aaron Carter went so far as to file for legal emancipation from his mother, Jane Carter, after accusing her of mismanaging his money. The next year, Jane Carter was arrested and charged with battery in an alleged attack on her estranged husband’s then-girlfriend, Ginger Elrod. In 2005, big brother Nick was arrested for DUI in Southern California. In 2008, 20-year-old Aaron was charged with marijuana possession. Leslie, who was married and has a one-year-old daughter, remained close to both brothers, but felt increasingly lost in her own life. Says the source: “This is a family who has had a lot of problems. At any given time, I didn’t know who was speaking to who, who was in trouble, who was clean.” Leslie (she was estranged from her husband) was living with her father, Robert, in Buffalo N.Y., as she tried to wean herself off of medication. Tragically, she couldn’t in time. Three prescription bottles were found at the scene were she was unresponsive: Olanzapine, used to treat schizophrenia and/or bipolar disorder, the muscle relaxant Cyclobenzaprine, and the anxiety medication Xanax. Sources close to the Carters say the tragedy has hit the family hard. Just hours after Leslie’s death, Aaron Carter posted on her Facebook page: “RIP my dearest sister. I love u.”
For all the criticism leveled at the first season of The X Factor – which resulted in the dismissal of Nicole Scherzinger, Paula Abdul and Steve Jones last week – no one took issue with the show’s champion. Melanie Amaro can seriously sing. And Super Bowl viewers will find out for themselves on Sunday, as the 19-year old teams with Elton John for a 60-second Pepsi commercial. Said the latter: “Pepsi wanted to make me ‘King for a Day’ on Super Bowl Sunday. How could I possibly pass that up?” What, exactly, is he talking about? Watch the spot now and see for yourself: Pepsi Super Bowl Commercial (Ft. Melanie Amaro and Elton John)
So sad: Louisiana Tech running back Tyrone Duplessis died Thursday morning after medics responded to an emergency call at his off-campus apartment. Hazel Woods, the chief investigator for the Lincoln Parish coroner’s office, said the cause of death was not yet known and an autopsy is pending. Ruston police Lt. Tim Parker said authorities are not investigating at this time and are awaiting the coroner’s report. “Tyrone was a valuable part of this football family,” Bulldogs coach Sonny Dykes said. “This is a tragic, senseless loss, but he made a lasting impact on this team, university and everyone that knew him.” A roommate of Duplessis made the emergency call after the running back woke up with chest pain, Louisiana Tech spokesman Patrick Walsh said. The 21-year-old Duplessis, a third-year student from New Orleans, recently completed his sophomore season of eligibility. Dykes has informed his players of Duplessis’ death and the team held a meeting to discuss it. The university has also made grief counselors available to the team. “We were deeply saddened,” Louisiana Tech President Dan Reneau said. “Tyrone was not only a valuable member of our football program, but much more importantly, he was a valued member of the Tech Family. This is a painful loss for our campus community and our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.” “Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tyrone and his family,” Athletics Director Bruce Van De Velde said. “Tyrone was a special young man who was loved and respected by the Tech Family. He will be dearly missed, but I am sure his teammates and friends will honor and remember him through their commitment to fulfilling their potential.” Duplessis was recognized as an all-state running back at O.P. Walker High School, where he won a state championship in 2007. He is survived by his parents, George and Mary, and two siblings, George III and Levoneshia Dixon. R.I.P. Source More On Bossip!
