Herman Cain Drops Out Of Presidential Race!


Women are powerful and are kryptonite to a weak man…Plagued by allegations of sexual harassment and marriage infidelity, businessman Herman Cain announced Saturday that he is officially suspending his campaign for president of the United States.

“As of today, with a lot of prayer and soul-searching, I am suspending my presidential campaign,” Cain said at what was supposed to be new campaign headquarters in his hometown of Atlanta. “I am disappointed that it came to this point that we had to make this decision.”

Standing with his wife Gloria by his side, Cain vowed that he would make an endorsement before the primaries were over and said that he “will not be silenced.”

The final death warrant came for Cain when Ginger White, a longtime friend of Cain’s, came forward to say that she had sustained a sexual relationship with him for several years. Ugh!!!! She even provided cell phone records to prove that they had, in fact, known each other over the years.

Unlike the prior allegations, the response from Cain’s lawyer did not issue a denial, but rather a defense that said the media should not inquire about his “private sexual life.”

Cain concluded his announcement that his run was over by reciting a poem: “Life can be a challenge, life can seem impossible, but it’s never easy when there’s so much on the line.”

Vanessa Long Changed Her Mind… No Divorce


24 hours after filing for divorce from embattled Atlanta preacher Bishop Eddie Long, his long-suffering wife, Vanessa Long, has asked her attorneys to withdraw her divorce petition.

Mrs. Long blames “years of attacks in the media” for her abrupt decision to file for divorce yesterday (Dec. 1).

But in a new statement released this afternoon, Mrs. Long said:

“Upon prayerful reflection, I have reconsidered and plan to withdraw my petition for divorce from my husband, Bishop Eddie L. Long,” she said in an emailed statement bearing the New Birth logo. “I love my husband. I believe in him and admire his strength and courage.”

Yesterday, Mrs. Long appeared to give up on her marriage to the troubled leader of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church:

“After a great deal of deliberation and prayer, I have decided to terminate my marriage to Bishop Eddie L. Long. Accordingly, I authorized my attorneys to file for divorce on December 1, 2011.”

Vanessa sound like she’s confused!!! Either that or money truly talks. Confusion does not follow prayer, God speaks and one listens then decides with a clear and made up mind. Her actions don’t look credible now.

Bishop Eddie Long’s Wife Files For Divorce


According to CBS Atlanta 46, the long-suffering wife of embattled Atlanta prosperity preacher, Bishop Eddie Long, has filed for divorce.

Vanessa G. Long released a statement early Friday morning announcing her decision to terminate her marriage to Bishop Long, who is the leader of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, GA.

The statement reads as follows:

“After a great deal of deliberation and prayer, I have decided to terminate my marriage to Bishop Eddie L. Long. Accordingly, I authorized my attorneys to file for divorce on December 1, 2011.

It is my sincere hope that this matter can be resolved expeditiously, harmoniously, and fairly. I ask that you respect my privacy and that of my family, as my attorneys and I have agreed that we will not try this case in the media, and I do not intend to make any further statements concerning this matter.

I also ask that the public pray for my entire family during this difficult period of transition.

Thank you, and may God continue to bless and keep each of you.”

The divorce proceeding follows a tumultuous year for the Bishop, who, earlier this year, settled sexual misconduct lawsuits brought on by 4 former Longfellow Youth Academy students, and a fifth man who was not included in the suit.

Melvin Childs Has An Issue With Tyler Perry’s Success


He was apparently or supposedly, the former business partner of playwright, actor, producer, mega successful, movie mogul, Tyler Perry and now he intends to expose Perry in a tell-all book.

Melvin Childs, author of a new book, which is due to be released and in stores in January 2012., spills the tea on the real struggles of Tyler Perry before he became a rich playwright and mega producer.

Childs shares his personal account of being a mentor, producer and friend to Tyler Perry and how his first two touring efforts ended in failure.

Childs discovered Perry  performing in small churches to 50 people or less. But Childs believed in the charismatic playwright from the beginning and foresaw his future success. Together they reinvented the genre and created the framework for the Tyler Perry Hollywood brand and the multi-million dollar enterprise it is today.

Hm…,so I wonder what he thinks Tyler Perry owe him now?

When released, Childs book will sell for 24.99…Pick up a copy if you care!

Michelle Obama Tackling Childhood Obesity


First Lady Michelle Obama is encouraging many with her “Lets Move” campaign to reduce childhood obesity, not only by talking to school students throughout the country but by influencing her staff workers within the White House as well.

A Shapedown program for overweight adolescents and children on November 20, in Aurora, Colorado, which is a 10-week family centered program held by the Denver area Children’s Hospital teaching youth and their parents ways to lead a healthier more active lifestyle, a longer lasting weight-loss alternative to dieting.

Nationally, some 15 percent of children are overweight or obese, as are some 60 percent of adults.

Michelle Obama’s campaign is so encouraging to many, adults and children alike. In today’s society with Burger King, McDonald’s and every other fast food restaurant within blocks of these inner cities, you have the companies that own the Olive Garden, Red Lobster and four other popular restaurant chains pledging to cut the calories and sodium in its meals and to overhaul its kids’ menu.

I think the first lady’s campaign is a positive thing, so why pledge to lose weight in the New Year, let’s move now…
