*Move over Real Housewives of whatever and make room for the women of the cloth.
TLC is capitalizing on the latest trend of reality shows and giving the world what it really wants to see with a new series "First Ladies" of the Atlanta area churches.
With True Entertainment, the same production company behind RHOA, behind it, how could it go wrong?
"We are excited to work with TLC to profile the lives of these strong-willed women," True Entertainment president Steven Weinstock says. "With most praise in religious communities directed towards male preachers, we are thrilled to give these remarkable ladies the spotlight they crave and deserve."
The series will follow the women who play the role of preacher's wives and mothers at home. The real drama is how they manage both while keeping their cool.
An airdate has yet to be announced. But they need to hurry that up because it's bound to be a popular one.
*Yasiin Bey, the rapper/actor formerly known as Mos Def, will star opposite John Hawkes in the Elmore Leonard adaptation "Switch," from writer-director Dan Schechter, reports Variety.
The crime drama will serve as a prequel to Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown," with Hawkes and Bey playing younger versions of Robert DeNiro and Samuel L. Jackson's respective characters Louis Gara and Ordell Robbie, who appear in Leonard's novel "Rum Punch."
Set 15 years before the events in "Jackie Brown," the story follows career criminals Ordell and Louis as they team up to kidnap Mickey Dawson, the wife of a corrupt Detroit real estate developer. When the husband refuses to pay the ransom for his wife's return, the ex-cons are forced to reconceive their plan, and the angry housewife uses the duo to get her revenge.
Production is scheduled to start in May.
Bey, who recently had a recurring role on Showtime's "Dexter," previously starred in "The Italian Job" and "Something the Lord Made."
This is exactly why we need to vote!!! Every little bit counts!!!
*Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said on Wednesday that as president, he will focus entirely on America's middle class, and has no concern for the "very rich" or the "very poor."
It's the "very poor" part of his quote that immediately made headlines – less than 24 hours after his victory in the Florida GOP primary.
"I'm in this race because I care about Americans. I'm not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs repair, I'll fix it," the Republican front-runner said this morning on CNN. "I'm not concerned about the very rich, they're doing just fine. I'm concerned about the very heart of America, the 90 percent, 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling."
CNN's Soledad O'Brien pressed him on his comments, adding that they may sound odd for Americans who are very poor.
"Well you had to finish the sentence, Soledad," he replied. "I said 'I'm not concerned about the very poor that have a safety net but if it has holes in it, I will repair them.' The challenge right now — we will hear from the Democrat party on the plight of the poor. And there's no question it's not good being poor and we have a safety net to help those that are very poor. But my campaign is focused on middle-income Americans."
"We have a very ample safety net," said Romney. "And we can talk about whether it needs to be strengthened or whether there are holes in it. But we have food stamps, we have Medicaid, we have housing vouchers, we have programs to help the poor."
*Ok, brace yourself. Hip Hop royalty has decided it's time to take a leap for the music industry and film a video … in space.
Power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce have already made plans for the future just after they've brought Blue Ivy to the world and buying the most expensive toy the world has ever seen – an all gold rocking horse purchased at $614,000, reports MTV News.
They are going to take a suborbital space trip on the Virgin Galactic and film the most monumental videos the music industry has never thought of.
Besides, tickets are only $200,000 a person.
For what song or production this could be for? Your guess is as good as any.
But this is up in the air, no pun intended. If they do pull this off, a space music video in space might be the king of all music videos.
I have ALWAY been a fan of this guy and I'm SO excited to see him ALL grown up and back in the music game! I wish him ALL the BEST and hopes he puts the REAL R&B back into hip hop and R&B! GOOD LUCK JASON!!!!! WHat do you think of the song?!
Facebook has changed the world for sure, in ways we never imagined! It's also changed the way I view some people, I think FB removes the crazy filter that normal social interaction has. This allows people to open up on SO many levels, at times levels that have made me VERY uncomfortable :). SO when I ran across this Top 15 things white girls do on FB I realized I'm not the only one observing fb behavior and emotions. The only thing I disagree with is that it says white girls a LOT of the things listed are average FB behavior, white, black, other, male, female, other, you get my point! :)
Anywho check out the list does your FB friends do these things or is it you?
This is a very slightly edited version of Mary & Kaitlin's pretty damn accurate list.
1. Take pictures of their feet.
2. Express their extreme annoyance at this work day today and hint that it deserves a much needed alcoholic beverage at the end of it. WINK WINK.
3. Thank their hubby for being the best hubby in the world while their hubby is sitting right next to them.
4. Complain about bad service at restaurants. Never eating at Applebee's AGAIN!
5. Express their extreme excitement to see their best friends tonight, Britney, Whitney, and Sarah!!! LUV U GIRLSSS!!
6. Take pictures of undeserving food.
7. Make their status the song lyrics of any Kings of Leon song.
8. Take a picture of someone they deem inferior to themselves in some way with the question: Really?
9. Write angry letters to companies (Dear EZ PARK, I hate you!), unorganized groups of people (Dear slutty freshmen who think that leggings can be worn as pants…), and non-entities (Dear unseasonably cold weather, WTF?!)
10. Subtly yell at no one in particular while being very specific. Wow, it's hard to believe that you think you know someone and then they turn around and STAB YOU IN THE BACK. Will never make that mistake again. EVER.
11. Document exceedingly mundane activites for the day: Getting my oil changed today. Then getting much needed groceries. Then it's off to the post office to mail some bills. Then stopping by the gyno. Will probably need some gas by the end, so I may stop at the gas station. But I might be tired so I'll probably just get it in the morning on my way to pick up a prescription. But if I'm not very tired I'll probably just get the gas on the way home. Again, unless I am tired.
12. Express their distaste for Facebook on Facebook and threaten to leave Facebook to their Facebook friends.
13. Take pictures wearing a lot of makeup and looking really preppy while simultaneously making a "hard" facial expression and holding up what they consider to be a gangster sign. Potential caption: Straight thuggin.
14. Ask seemingly redundant questions. It's cool to do a bunch of meth and babysit 20 six year-olds, right?
15. Write a status in another language. Parce que, Je suis tres intelligente!!

Lil Kim has been busy shooting a documentary to come out with
her tell-all book about life in prison.
where she was jailed in 2005 on perjury charges.
Wonder If she is going to be talking about the reasons she had all
this Plastic surgery done!
DMX visits Dr. Drew on his show, and reaches out to a young man who is heading down the wrong path.
He's answering his calling. Really want to see him make it.
