New Documentary on Michael Jackson!!!! See it Here!!!

Nadim reports "In June 2005, Michael Jackson was acquitted of child molestation, but instead of returning to his Neverland home, he disappeared, wandering the globe for two years. Writer Jacques Peretti wanted to find out why. To this end, he tracks down the people inside the Jackson story who have never agreed to talk on camera before, including Bob Jones, his manager and right-hand man of 17 years; and Victor Guttierez, the investigative reporter who first uncovered allegations of child abuse and subsequently fled the US. They talk frankly about the details of the darkest moments in Jackson's life. What emerges is a story radically different from the one the public know: a picture both darker, more complex and more morally ambiguous than anyone could have imagined."

Youngest African-American Female Pilot

High Flying, Adored - 15-Year-Old Girl Pilots a Plane Coast to Coast

On Saturday, 15-year-old Kimberly Anyadike finished a record-breaking flight across the country, becoming what is believed to be the youngest African-American female to pilot an airplane from coast to coast. The adventurous teenager flew from Compton Woodley Airport in Compton, CA, to Newport News, VA ,and back, making thirteen stops along the way. Her flight companions were an adult safety pilot and Levi Thornhill, an 87-year-old World War II veteran who flew with the Tuskegee Airmen, an all African-American combat unit in the U.S. Army Air Corps. Part of the reason for Anyadike's voyage was to honor the Tuskegee Airmen, dozens of whom she met throughout the journey.

Anyadike learned to fly both an airplane and a helicopter at Tomorrow's Aeronautical Museum in Compton in an after-school program that offers aviation lessons to underprivileged and at-risk youth. The museum owns the plane she flew on this historical trip.

It was Anyadike's idea to fly cross-country. She knew it would take tremendous preparation, but she felt strongly that she could do it. The Tuskegee Airmen served as further motivation for the high-flying teen.

"They left such a great legacy," she said. "I had big shoes to fill. All they wanted to do was to be patriots for this country. They were told no, that they were stupid, that they didn't have cognitive development to fly planes. They didn't listen. They just did what they wanted to do."'
Robin Petgrave, the aeronautical museum's founder tried to temper Anyadike's enthusiasm. "I told her it was going to be a daunting task but she just said, 'Put it on. I got big shoulders.' "

Marsha Ambrosius on Why Floetry Broke Up...

Soul Culture reports "Marsha Ambrosius finally speaks publicly on the reasons that British soul duo Floetry broke up, the possibility of a reunion one day, why it's taking so long for her solo album to come out - and how she got to work with Michael Jackson after he heard her self-penned song, "Butterflies.""

All because Lebron didn't shake hands!

USAIN BOLT BLOWS COMPETITION AWAY IN SWITZERLAND

Usain Bolt has got to be the fastest brother running track today. Not only does he win, but he wins by huge margins. If I was racing against this dude, and seen him far ahead of me, I'd be mad. I mean he smoked these guys. LOL.

NEW MUSIC!! SLAUGHTER HOUSE -THE ONE

Joe Budden, Royce the 5’9, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I

This is a cool song. It has a alternative/rock vibe to it. The lyrics are creative and the way the spit back and forth add to the song. I definitely did not expect this. I give it a single, with a stolen base. -Beno

Heavy D - No Matter What

The Heavster is Back on the Reggae tip. Heavy D is one of the best rappers that our music has ever seen. He made being an "overweight lover" cool. Now he has gotten his acting on and is still doing his music, but maturing all the time.

I give this song a double.

Rev. Al Sharpton on Bill O'Reilly Show defending Michael Jackson as an Icon.

I believe that the Rev. Al Sharpton has been a great value and service for African-Americans in the U.S. He has mastered the art of publicizing and using media to fight for and defend those who otherwise would not be able to fend for themselves.

He has time and time again, stood up for causes and have brought notoriety to issues that many of us would never had known.

I think Rev. Al Sharpton should be appreciated for his contributions while he is still living, instead of giving him his props later on.

1993 Interview of Michael Jackson by Oprah Winfrey

This video is the bomb. When Oprah has Michael in his movie theater, you will see how he gives props to the "street kids" who really make the dance moves, and then he does his beat box which is bananas. He is truly a genius, and anyone who says different, just ignore them and run as far away as you can.

Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair found dead.

Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair has been shot and killed.
Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron confirmed that police were called to a residence and found McNair and a woman shot to death inside. Aaron said authorities don’t yet know the circumstances of the shooting.

“I don’t have any answers for you now as to what’s happened, who’s responsible,” he said.

Aaron said police have tentatively identified the woman but did not release her name.

McNair played 13 seasons in the NFL and led the Titans within a yard of forcing overtime in the 2000 Super Bowl. The former third overall draft pick also played for the Baltimore Ravens before retiring after the 2007 season.

“He was one of the finest players to play for our organization and one of the most beloved players by our fans,” Titans owner Bud Adams said in a statement. “He played with unquestioned heart and leadership and led us to places that we had never reached, including our only Super Bowl.”
