The return of the RHOA: Season Six
If you’re a Real Housewives of Atlanta fan like me, then you’re
be happy to know that there is going to be a season six and all the women will
be returning.
It has been stated that all the ladies have already signed
their contacts.
On Leaks returning, the source said: “NeNe is definitely
going to be back because, of course, she’s the star and, even though she has
other jobs, RHOA wouldn’t be the same without her!” Leakes's value hasn't
translated just into ratings but into a huge raise as well. She will be the
highest-paid Atlanta housewife, getting a reported $1 million for her return.
Can you believe NeNe Leakes is getting paid $1 million
dollars for the show?
In the words of Leaks, “I’m rich B!t*#.”
The news comes as the reunion shows for Season Five are
beginning to air. While the final part of the reunion won’t air until next
week, word has leaked that there will be a huge confrontation between Phaedra Parks
and Kenya Moore. Kenya is accused of
propositioning Phaedra’s hubby, Apollo, for sex.
"Let’s get this clear, my husband just asked her for
advice on an acting coach,” Parks is reported to have said. “Kenya continued to
text him, saying, 'Oh, you look nice.'” No word on if the exchange goes beyond
words, but Kenya is said to defend herself from the claims.
Don’t miss the reunion part 2 Sunday on Bravo.
Comment and let me know how you feel about the cast of the
RHOA, and your favorite cast mate.
Cynthia Bailey, Kandi
Burruss, Porsha Stewart, Phaedra Parks, Kenya Moore and, yes, NeNe Leakes
Reebox drop Rick Ross
Is it true Reebok cut all ties with Maybach Music Group
commander-in-chief Rick Ross?
Rock Ross stir up tension with some of his song lyrics on
Rocko’s “U.O.E.N.O”, in which it seem to imply he drug and take advantages of
women. The lyrics are as follow:
"Put Molly all in the champagne. She ain't even know it
/ I took her home and enjoyed that. She ain't even know it."
Sources say, Reebok explained their decision to part ways
with the multi-platinum rapper.
"Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we
expect them to live up to the values of our brand. Unfortunately, Rick Ross has
failed to do so."
The statement continued, "While we do not believe that
Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to
display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate
level of remorse."
However, Ross did apologize for the lyrics on New Orleans
radio station Q93, and he said he did not use the word rape in his lyrics.
Ross also posted a statement via Twitter, "Apologies to
my many business partners who would never promote violence against women."
The controversial lyrics have since been removed from the song, but critics
continue to lambast the bearded baritone.
Fellow rappers Meek Mill and Tyga have come to Ross'
defense, and said it’s just a song and he has the right to freedom of speech.
But there are others that feel Ross should be held accountable for his choice of
words.
Underage drinking leads to another raped victim
Lately in the news there have been several rape cases, due
to young female drinking under the age and their fellow peers taking advantage
of them.
No one want to wake up the next day after a party, to find
out they was rape and have no knowledge this horrible event happened.
In a recent case in California, a teenager girl woke up
after a party to find drawing on her body and private area. She later found out
that pictures of the event was posted on social sites, and shown to other
students at her school.
The incident happened at an unsupervised house party in
Saratoga, California, in September, but the three 16-year-olds were arrested
Thursday, said Santa Clara Sheriff's Office spokesman Jose Cardoza.
After learning that photos had been posted on the Internet,
the 15-year-old Potts wrote in an online post that her life was ruined. A few
days later, she took her own life.
The three unidentified boys face two felony and one
misdemeanor charge of sexual battery, Cardoza said. Formal charges will come
next week.
As a whole we have to bring awareness to underage drinking. Teenagers
don’t realize alcohol has an age requirement for a reason. Not to say, women
over the age of 21 haven’t been rape, due to consuming to much to drink.
This is as horrible event that’s becoming more current in
the news and in today’s society. Many rape victims doesn’t come forward and
speak out. In recent case the rapist are trying to humiliate the victims by
posting pictures online or sharing them with friends. In this case, she was
raped and unfortunately she took her own life.
As parents, you have to supervise your kids. However, in today’s
times it’s hard to keep up with teenagers and the things they do. Many parties
teenagers attend are unsupervised, where they are drinking alcohol, smoking
weed, and taking mollies.
It want be easy, but we must rise to the challenge. Let’s
take back our streets and our kids.

It’s illegal to drive and use the GPS on your cellphone
Do you use the GPS/Navigation on your phone to get
direction? Well you might want to read this article.
A California appellate court has ruled that using the GPS or
mapping functionality on a phone is a moving violation, and it’s just like
texting while driving. Steven Sriggs, the defendant in the case, was pulled
over for using a phone while operating a motor vehicle, but he wasn’t texting
or making a call — he was looking at a map.
“This case requires us to determine whether using a wireless
phone solely for its map application function while driving violates Vehicle
Code section 23123. We hold that it does,” the California v. Spriggs court
ruling reads.
The court ruled that any activity on the phone that could be
distracting to a driver falls under the law. “Our review of the statute’s plain
language leads us to conclude that the primary evil sought to be avoided is the
distraction the driver faces when using his or her hands to operate the phone,”
the ruling reads. “That distraction would be present whether the wireless
telephone was being used as a telephone, a GPS navigator, a clock or a device
for sending and receiving text messages and emails.”
You might want to think twice before using your phone to
obtain direction. I recommend you get a
GPS device or a car phone stand for your phone.
What Hollywood Actress is Pregnant ?
Is it true Halle Berry is expecting her second child at age
46? Yes, the rumors are true, Ms. Berry is pregnancy. For those of you not familiar
with Ms. Berry, she is an actress in B.A.P.S, Monster Ball, Cat Women, The
Perfect Stranger, and many more.
"I thought I was kind of past the point where this
could be a reality for me. So it's been a big surprise and the most
wonderful," the actress said.
In the interview with CNN's Alina Cho, Berry said she did
not know if she was having boy, as some other media outlets have reported.
The actress said last year that her daughter, Nahla, had
been hoping for a younger sibling, and the 4-year-old is finally getting her
wish.
Berry recently teamed up with designer Michael Kors to fight
hunger through the United Nations World Food Programme.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see what Ms. Berry and her fiancĂ©
are expecting.
Stay tune for future updates, as I keep you posted on this
surprise of a pregnancy.

Morning-after pill available without prescription
A federal judge in Brooklyn, New York, has ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to make the morning-after birth control pill available to people of any age without a prescription.
The order overturned a 2011 decision by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to require a prescription for girls under 17.
The morning after pill is design to terminate a pregnancy, only a day after intercourse when semen was released inside the female.
Teen pregnancy is an ongoing and upraising issue in society today. The morning after pill can help stop unintended pregnancy.
However, we should be promoting safe and protected safe and this pill wouldn’t be a high demand.
Just because this pill doesn’t need a prescription it is very expensive. At the local CVS, this pill is about $ 54 dollars.
In my opinion, it’s cheaper to buy a condom, than to end up needing a Plan B pill.
Friday's order came in response to a lawsuit launched by the Center for Reproductive Rights. The group was seeking to expand access to all brands of the morning-after pill over the counter, such as Plan B One-Step and Next Choice, so that women of all ages would be able to purchase them without a prescription
