The ReadyWriter

The R&B singer, newlywed mother and wife of Swizz Beats, is on the cover of this months issue of Essence magazine and she is looking some kind of pale.

Alicia tries to discredit Mashonda’s allegations that she broke up their marriage by stating this about her husband and when they started dating.

“We didn’t start seeing each other until months after they had separated.”

“I was aware of all the false things that were being said about me. It definitely hurt.”

Explaining why she hasn’t talked about it until now Alicia admitted,

“I was sure that if I engaged it would become back-and-forth like some sick entertainment, which goes against everything I believe and would have made things worse”

Well, shortly after the excerpt of Alicia’s interview went online, Mashonda Tweeted the following indirect but direct response.

“She’s Supposedly The Fatest Kid In The World”

The ReadyWriter

This is six-years-old Suman Khutan, she weighs over 200-lbs and just might be the world’s fattest kid. She weighs five times more than the average child her age should.

Suman Khatun may be the world’s fattest kids but she eats enough food each week to feed her entire village.

Suman, is from West Bengal, India, and in the picture above she devours two giant plates of rice, two bowls of fried fish, two fried eggs and a couple of omelettes – and that’s just for lunch, after two breakfasts of biscuits, bananas, rice and eggs.

The girl’s mother Beli Bibi, 32, isn’t sure how much her daughter eats because immediately after lunch she drags herself across the road to demand more food from neighbours.

She said: “She’s hungry all the time and all she does is cry. I don’t like seeing my daughter so sad so I feed her. What am I to do?’ “I’ve tried almost everything to control Suman’s appetite, but she cries so much that I have no choice but to give in. I’ve tried to be strict and refuse her food but she then rolls on the floor and starts eating mud instead. I can’t let my child eat mud so I end up giving her more food.”

Suman was born a healthy 8-lbs 9-ozs but her appetite grew from the moment she began drinking milk. If this little girl continue to eat the way she does, she might die of a cardiac arrest in the very near future.

“CNN Journalist Don Lemon Reveals “He’s Gay”

The ReadyWriter

The CNN journalist is speaking out about his sexuality in the recent release and upcoming memoir “Transparent”.

“Today I chose to step out on faith and begin openly living my own truth. And let me say right up front that I hope many of you will be inspired to do the same thing in your daily lives. Some of the things I’ve chosen to reveal in my book Transparent were very difficult to share with even those closest to me.”

There was a time when I was terrified of revealing these things to the person I love most in this world – my own mother. But when I finally mustered the courage to tell her that I had been molested as a child and that I was born gay, my life began to change in positive ways that I never imagined possible. Yet I still chose to keep those secrets hidden from the world. I, like most gay people, lived a life of fear. Fear that if some employers, co-workers, friends, neighbors and family members learned of my sexuality, I would be shunned, mocked and ostracized. It is a burden that millions of people carry with them every single day. And sadly, while the mockery and ostracizing are realized by millions of people every day, I truly believe it doesn’t have to happen and that’s why I feel compelled to share what I’ve written in Transparent.

As a journalist I believe that part of my mission is to shed light onto dark places. So, the disclosure of this information does not inhibit in any way my ability to be the professional, fair and objective journalist I have always been.

My book is dedicated to the memory of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi, who jumped to his death from a bridge after his dorm mates streamed his private business over the Internet for the world to see. Tyler might still be with us today if more gay men and women had chosen to live proudly and openly. It is also dedicated to the millions of young, gay people who believe they are alone when dealing with their own sexual identities. You are not alone! There are people, like me and many others, who are thriving in their personal and professional lives and although we sometimes have a hard time with it ourselves, we are here to show you by example that you too can overcome any obstacle as long as you stay strong and, most of all, stay alive.”

With love and honesty,

“The Movie: ‘Jumping The Broom’ Addresses Abstinence”

The ReadyWriter

I saw the movie this weekend and why it is being dubbed a comedy, makes me wonder? But I like because the movie celebrates two very important things, marriage and family.

As two families from two different socioeconomic levels merge because their son and daughter have taken a vow of abstinence and, after a six-month dating period, are headed toward marriage. As two family cultures collide, communication breaks down and the planned marriage almost collapses.

The bride vows abstinence until married after being tired of going to bed with all the wrong men.

The movie has an all-star cast that includes Angela Bassett, Paula Patton, Laz Alonso (Lord I love him but he has such a flat ass), Loretta Devine, Meagan Good, Tasha Smith, Julie Bowen, Romeo Miller, DeRay Davis, Valarie Pettiford and Mike Epps.

 This movie (“Jumping the Broom”) explores the cultural and spiritual challenges of abstinence, motherhood, family, love and relationships alongside themes such as forgiveness, family secrets, and misperceptions.
 
I laughed and cried yet commend the fact that, moral standards were at the forefront of this movie’s theme.

Now I ask you., my readers, is abstinence before marriage a reality in your opinion?

“Eddie Long May Go To Trial – He’ll Need 5 More Rocks”

The ReadyWriter

According to news reports the good Bishop Eddie Long’s case may be going to trial after all.

At first all parties involved, were close to a successful settlement but the Judge in the case said he is now preparing for a trial. Judge Johnny Panos didn’t say why the mediation isn’t working, but he revealed that he could start hearing testimony in the fall.

Bishop Eddie Long is being sued by four former members of his New Birth “Missionary” Baptist Church congregation and his “Long Fellow Academy”, who say the Bishop used his power to coerce them into sexual relationships.

Just last month, during the week of Easter Judge Panos said the parties were close to a settlement, now he is telling WSBTV that he is preparing for a trial. The judge says if there is no settlement reached, a trial will begin in August or September.
