Marion Be Like Vick and Just Do It!

MARION JONES APPEARS VIA SATELLITE ON 'OPRAH ': Track star explains why she lied about steroid use.

*Marion Jones appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Wednesday in her first interview since admitting that she lied about using performance-enhancing drugs throughout her career in track-and-field.

"I want people to understand that, you know, everybody makes mistakes. ... I truly think that a person's character is determined by their admission of their mistakes and then beyond that, what do I do about it?" Jones said via satellite from Austin, Texas, where she lives. "How can I change the lives of people? How can I use my story to change the life of a young person?"

Winfrey asked Jones what she was thinking during her repeated, impassioned denials that took place over the years. "You knew at that time, you knew were lying, right?" Winfrey said.

"I made a mistake. I made the choice, at that time, to protect myself, to protect my family," Jones said. "And now I've paid the consequences dearly."

Jones said she has yet to tell her 4-year-old son, the elder of her two boys, that Mommy's going to jail. She admitted she was disappointed that she was not given a probation-only sentence, as she and her attorneys hoped for.

"I put myself in a position to have somebody else determine my immediate future," she said. "I made that decision. I have to live with it, my family has to live with it. With the grace of God we'll get through it and come out even better at the other end."

Jones has until March 11 to begin her six month jail sentence for lying to investigators about steroid use and a check-fraud scam.

I hate that Marion went out like that.
IMO she truly played herself, but I do give it up to her for confessing.
Having said that, while I hate seeing her go to jail, she did break the law.
And I'm a firm believer in, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."
Sadness.
And she hasn't told her oldest child yet.
She better get a move on, cuz u know bays-bays all over the country are eavesdroppin on their mama's phone and kitchen conversations, and it'll only take a minute for one of those mannish kids to break Marion's kids heart in a manner similar to this:
bay-bay: You wanna go and see the the new Disney movie?
M.K. (Marion's kid): what Disney movie?
bay-bay: you knoowwww, the one where the pillows come to life when u turn off the lights and you can play pillow fight all night long.
M.K.: oh. I havta ask my mom.
bay-bay: why you gotta ask your mom if you can go to the movies?
M.K.: cuz my mommy said if I need something from her to just ask.
bay-bay: well tell her you're going to need her freedom for 6 mos, since she won't be needin it.
(looking confused) bay-bay: why you lookin like u don't know yo' mama doin' 6 mo flat?
M.K.: flat? flat what?
bay-bay: (long sigh) you are not THAT stupid! My mama, told my aunt Tameka, who told the twins' Cheyenn and Cheyenna's mother's boyfriend's sister's pastor that your mama is in jail for 6 mos.
Everybody knows yo' mama's in jail.
M.K.: shut up! take it back!
bay-bay: please, i ain't takin nothin' back!
M.K. oh yes you are!
bay-bay: no i ain't. who and what army is gone make me...??

***u see where this can lead to***
Marion, just keep it real. Tell the kids the truth. I'm sure they'll get street cred, now :)

Judge Judy Doesn't Like Black People???

An ex-producer for "Judge Judy" is claiming that he was canned for complaining that black litigants were being... er, excused from the daytime courtroom strip. Does her bailiff know about this?


The lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court by former Senior Producer Jonathan Sebastien, alleges that Randy Douthit -- a supervisor -- told staffers, "We're not doing any more black shows," and "I don't want to hear black people arguing."

Sebastien claims when he complained about the alleged whitewashing, he says Douthit commanded his fellow producers to book "white upscale, pretty people" for Judge Judy, and to send black litigants to the "Judge Joe Brown" show.

He is seeking unspecified damages from the show and CBS Paramount. A staffer from "Judge Judy" -- who did not want to be identified -- says the suit has "no merit" and that this cat is a just "a disgruntled former employee who was fired for cause."

Welcome to 2008

PISS POT IS A NO SHOW AT HIS CONCERT...MAYBE NE-YO'S RIGHT

My Cousin in L.A. went to R. Kelly's Double Up Concert this evening and all she got were lousy crickets chirping in the parking lot!

You're Unprofessional. Unprofessional You.

My cousin Tisa is hotter than a Pinto with a cracked radiator! She took a day off of work, showered, shampooed and shined, paid $3.30+/gal gas, and navigated the treacherous California freeways

to get to the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA to see Keisha Cole @PissPot's (R.Kelly) concert TONIGHT. Did I mention the tix were $100?!

*****
Imagine her surprise when she pulled up and the only music she heard, came from the crickets rubbing their hind legs together in the parking lot of the Honda Center. No Pisspot. No Keisha. No J. Holiday (don't know who he is), no background singers, waterboy, towel boy, entourae...NO ONE.
*****
Not one to be daunted to she walked up to the door only to be given a flier by a security guard which read:

"The Honda Center 12.13.07-R.Kelly concert has been cancelled. Refunds available at point of purchase." No radio announcement, smoke signal, text message, email...I guess it was easier to hit up Kinko's and run off flyers.

Piss Pot, Keisha, J.Holiday and crew were a no show due to low ticket sales.

To quote Tisa: "I don't care if your fan base is 10 or 10,000-get your a** out there and perform your butt off, people took off of work to go see these people-R.Kelly needs to stop being a hater, he's jealous of Ne-Yo, I wanted to see Ne-yo and Keisha, not him. Kelly's jealous. He's almost washed up...he's a hater. He needs 20,000 people to show up and perform, and only 2,000 people bought tix...we weren't enough to show up for a concert??? I could've stayed home and watched "Grey's Anatomy!"
Remember what Ne-Yo said? Ne-Yo Speaks

****
I forewarned my cuz and told her PissPot is known for his drama queen antics in Detroit. From showing up 2 hours late, to performing for 15 minutes, to canceling in mid-tour his concert with Joe Camel, err Jay Z.
***
Tisa had great seats, the 10th row. I told her that was too close anyway...piss could've still landed on her! I'm sorry peeps, but thats my fam.
It's too bad, I think Keisha could've packed a house without PissPot.
Because of Kelly, Keisha's fans had to miss out too.

When IS HE going to court??

(editing, italics by IVBB)

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Alex Trebek, the long-time host of the popular television quiz show "Jeopardy," suffered a minor heart attack at his home Monday night.

Alex Trebek (above) has hosted "Jeopardy!" for 23 years.

Trebek, 67, was recovering at a local hospital, and it was not clear when he would be released, a representative of the show said. He is expected to resume taping the show in January.

The representative added that Trebek did not have any previous known condition that would have led to the heart attack.

Trebek, 67, is a native of Sudbury, Ontario. He has hosted "Jeopardy!" since 1984.

Prior to becoming "Jeopardy!" host, he served as emcee for a number of game shows, including "High Rollers," "The Wizard of Odds" and "Battlestars."

Racist Websites Exposed!

Buddy, you have too much time on your hands!!

Thanks Blog Mama for heads up!

Hal "Juicy" Turner, is a big juicy something of a man (looks like he put away a couple of buckets of chicken himself)

who seems to be the nation's racist, who is quoted as being this:

"Hal Turner is so far to the right he makes Rush Limbaugh look like a liberal and Sean Hannity seem like a girlie-man!" according to Hal's website.
Hal Turner's Website

I'm not going to give him anymore credit and tell what's on his site, but i'll say this...

just like racism...we, THE MINORITIES AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE.

Another website that's even more disturbing is this blog...that I found on "Juicy's" website is called Toledo Muddville

with "Mudd" being designated as every race except the "White meat" (my words).

I don't care what color you are,

the fact that you have so much time to dedicate hate to blogs & websites makes me pity you ,

rather than become angered.

Family, racism is alive and it's kicking.

It's been here since civilization.

Remember the Hebrews were upset when Moses brought his wife Zipporah around?

I think it's a pity...however it's not my burden to get pissy and want to destroy these blogs...

BUT I AM PUTTING THEM ON BLAST!!

The Humble Will Be Exalted & The Exalted Will Be Humbled...

WHEN THE CHURCH DOORS CLOSE: BET's new series, 'Exalted,' shines the spotlight on Bishops Charles E. Blake and Carlton Pearson (pic, far right) in coming weeks.

source

On October 2, 2007, only the venerable "Monday Night Football" had more viewers on basic cable than "Exalted," the new weekly one-hour original documentary series currently airing on BET.

A potent and entertaining mix of VH-1's "Behind the Music" and TBN, "Exalted" peels away the layers and gives viewers an unfettered glimpse into the stories of the sometimes controversial and ever more prominent lives of the leaders of so-called "mega churches" around the country.

The first installment featured Prophetess and National Televangelist Juanita Bynum, a fixture in the local and national news due to her recent marital issues.

Another spotlight was on Reverend Paul Morton, leader of the one of the largest churches in New Orleans, whose multiple places of worship became tragic casualties of Hurricane Katrina. Presiding Bishop of the entire Church of God In Christ (C.O.G.I.C), Charles E. Blake will be explored on October 30.

On November 6, the series will also spotlight Bishop Carlton Pearson, who has made the controversial statement: "God is not Christian." This, coupled with his recent sermons doubting the existence of hell, has caused tension among his flock and throughout the African American church community nationwide.

Narrated by Blair Underwood, "Exalted" was created by D'Angela Proctor Steed, who serves as an Executive Producer, alongside Nia T. Hill.

"Exalted" airs Tuesdays at 9pm (E/P) on BET.

****

I remember hearing about Juanie B, being on BET

but I didn't know it was the "Exalted" program.

Not trying to sound sanctimonius, just wondering if the show's name has a double entendre? Sometimes, I make simple things difficult.

Anyhoo, I'd be interested to see what's said about Carlton Pearson.

He's definitely "kook, the Nut."

that's just my humble opinion.

His wife sure has stuck by his side, which befuddles my mind.

If/when I get married I will follow my husband as he follows Christ.

When hubby starts talking and applying crackpot theories...well, i'll let you surmise.

This should be interesting to watch.

SACRAMENTO TV STATION APOLOGIZES TO TYLER PERRY: Flood of angry e-mails over Janet interview causes havoc.
source

*Never underestimate the power of Tyler Perry's e-mail nation.
Last week, the filmmaker vented his frustration last week with an interviewer at a Sacramento TV station who kept trying to ask Janet Jackson about her boob flash at the 2004 Super Bowl instead of questions about their new film, "Why Did I Get Married?"

In his latest letter to fans, Perry states: "After you all saw that interview that Janet and I did; you started an email campaign that ended in this man going on air and giving an apology. He got so many emails that it crashed the computer system at the TV station. The other employees couldn't get emails from what I understand."

The original interview with Sacramento's CW31 reporter Mark S. Allen can be seen here.

Allen's subsequent apology can be viewed below:




The stroke of the pen, the click of a mouse, a word from our mouths represents one thing: POWER. We have the power to change lives, move mountains, make a difference.
We're doin it with Jena 6, we did it with Tyler Perry, now let's effect change in ou own lives, and in the lives' of those around us!

He's an alright guy
