SAY WHAT? Wisc Rep Jim Sensenbrenner has nasty words to say about Michelle Obama’s “BACKSIDE”
First Lady Michelle Obama‘s rear end was the recent topic of conversation at the Delta Crown lounge at Reagan National Airport on (December 21, 2011).
68 year old Representative Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.) was overheard discussing the First Lady’s derriere with an unknown party on the other end of his cell phone.
The clincher? The representative attempted to used the size of Mrs. Obama’s “A”zz to criticize her healthy eating initiatives and his “A”zz is quadruple the size of hers…
How dare he!!
Details…
Sensenbrenner was overheard saying that after buying all their “crap” (his word) a woman approached him and praised first lady Michelle Obama.
He told the woman that Michelle should practice what she preaches, stating — “she lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself.”
Hold up… hold up… hold up! Did this rolly-polly dude have the nerve to call Michelle Obama a FAT ASS?

Reportedly Sensenbrenner was referring to the First Lady’s “Let’s Move” healthy food initiative and he has openly admitted he doesn’t feel the government should be telling Americans what to eat.
While he may not agree with her initiatives, public outcry regarding his statement has prompted the lawmaker to contact the First Lady’s office to offer an apology for commenting on the size of her “A”zzz.
Don’t hate Jim because wife wife looks like Olive Oink!
Oooh weee! If i could only be a fly on the wall when that call comes through! I hope Batack, Michelle, or Grandman Robinson go all out GHETTO ON DAT AZZ!

Floyd Mayweather is sentenced to 90 days in jail for 'punching ex-girlfriend he accused of cheating'
Boxer ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a perfect 42-0 in the ring and has dodged significant jail time several times in domestic violence cases in Las Vegas and Michigan.
But his courtroom streak came to an end Wednesday when a Las Vegas judge sentenced the 34-year-old boxer to 90 days in jail after he pleaded guilty to a reduced battery domestic violence charge and no contest to two harassment charges.
The case stemmed from a hair-pulling, punching and arm-twisting argument with his ex-girlfriend Josie Harris while two of their children watched in September 2010.
According to an arrest report, Mayweather had threatened Ms Harris, saying: 'I'm going to kill you and the man you are messing around with.'
‘Punishment is appropriate,’ Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa said after a prosecutor complained that Mayweather has been in trouble before and hasn't faced serious consequences.
‘No matter who you are, you have consequences to your actions when they escalate to this level of violence,’ she said.
Mayweather stood still in a striped olive vest and showed no reaction as the judge sentenced him to six months in the Clark County jail then suspended half the term.

She gave him credit for three days previously served in jail and ordered him to complete 100 hours of community service, pay a $2,500 fine and complete a yearlong domestic violence counselling program.
Good behaviour could knock several weeks off Mayweather's sentence. but he will likely serve most of the sentence set to begin January 6, said Officer Bill Cassell, a Las Vegas police spokesman.
Mayweather and his manager, Leonard Ellerbe, declined comment outside the courtroom.
The jail time raises doubts about a possible showdown between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, a champion fighter from the Philippines against whom Mayweather's welterweight success is usually measured.

A long-awaited fight between the two men regarded as among the best of their generation has been delayed by stalling techniques and verbal sparring.
'Punishment is appropriate. No matter who you are, you have consequences to your actions when they escalate to this level of violence.'
Mayweather's promoters have a May 5 date reserved against an as-yet unnamed opponent at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. But if Mayweather is jailed until the end of March, it could cut into the usual eight-plus weeks he takes to train.
The plea deal avoided trial on felony and misdemeanour that could have gotten Mayweather 34 years in state prison if he was convicted on all counts.
Mayweather also is expected to plead no contest next week to a separate misdemeanour harassment charge involving a 21-year-old homeowner association security guard who was poked in the face during an argument about parking tickets placed on cars outside Mayweather's house.
Mayweather's lawyer, Karen Winckler, said she may appeal what she called the unusual sentence handed down Wednesday.
In court, she called Mayweather ‘a champion in many areas’ and aired a list of his good deeds, including buying toys for children for Christmas and promising to donate $100,000 to breast cancer research by the end of December.
Mayweather has a January 31 deadline on that court order. Habitat for Humanity official Catherine Barnes said Wednesday that Mayweather had not started to log the hours.

Ms Saragosa said Wednesday she was persuaded to jail Mayweather following his admission that he hit Harris and twisted her arm, and that two of their children, ages nine and ten, witnessed the attack.
Mayweather threatened to kill or make Ms Harris ‘disappear,’ Ms Saragosa said, and their ten-year-old son ran from the house and jumped a back gate to fetch security. Mayweather had taken cell phones belonging to Harris and the two boys.
‘Things could have gotten more out of hand than they did,’ the judge said.

The Kardashian clothes are made in Chinese sweatshops
Well, it looks like the Kardashians are getting a heap of tabloid drama for the holidays. Kim just finished having a hissy fit over this week’s National Enquirer report that she was disrespectful and nasty to poor people in Haiti, and now Radar has released this week’s Star Magazine cover, which I’m sure will cause even more famewhore dramz. Star claims that the Kardashians are using sweatshops to make their various Kardashian products, and now a human rights group is basically calling out the Kardashians for using “slave labor.”
In a stunning world exclusive exposé Star magazine is reporting that the Kardashian family are endorsing and selling fashion products manufactured in foreign sweatshops, where workers, some as young as sixteen years old, are abused and virtually imprisoned.
A prestigious human-rights watchdog organization has launched an investigation into America’s top TV family, with officials imploring the Kardashians not to profit from what amounts to “slave labor.”
“The Kardashians are in bed with some pretty bad people,” Charles Kernaghan, the executive director of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights, tells Star. “Not only are celebrities like the Kardashians taking advantage of these workers, they are holding hands with a government that spits on democracy and women’s rights.”
While the Kardashians are involved with many fine consumer products in the fashion, beauty, fragrance, health and lifestyle industries that are not part of this investigation, there are several brands that are coming under fire. Items in the family’s high-end K-Dash by Kardashian label and the Kris Jenner Kollection — sold on the home-shopping television network QVC — and ShoeDazzle, a company that Kim cofounded and endorses, are all manufactured in areas of China where government regulations are often ignored and workers are subject to inhumane conditions.
Li Qiang, the executive director of China Labor Watch, says that the reality stars are turning a blind eye to human rights abuses, for the sake of their bottom line. “People like the Kardashians are producing their products in China because they will get more profit, since the labor cost is so low compared to the United States and other countries,” he tells Star exclusively.
The sweatshop workers live in squalid factory-run dormitories filled with the stench of sewage while toiling up to 84 hours during seven-day work weeks to produce some of the goods that helped Kourtney, 32, Kim, 31, Khloé, 27, mom Kris, 56, and the rest of their family earn $65 million last year.
Shockingly, the impoverished workers earn just a paltry $1 an hour, slaving away in factories in the Guangdong region of China, which Kernaghan describes as being “like minimum-security prisons.”
The region is a “scary place,” Kernaghan continues, where the peak summer season is “brutal,” with temperatures inside non-air-conditioned factories soaring to over 100˚F. Workers in the region can come out with as little as $15 a month once rent and food debts have been paid to their bosses.
You can’t talk during working hours,” Kernaghan adds. “You can’t listen to music; you can’t stand up and stretch. You can’t even put your head up and look around, or you will be screamed at. If you get permission to use the toilet, you get four minutes. If you’re highly specialized, you cannot even go to the bathroom.”

Star has learned that human-rights groups have dispatched their undercover investigators to a number of factories that have been linked to the Kardashians. And, Kernaghan says, it is time for the world and the Kardashians to take some responsibility. “Kim has been very fortunate, but it’s time for her and her family to treat these workers with respect,” he tells Star.
“Kim, for example, co
uld say, ‘It ain’t going to be all about me, me and me.’ She could do something and not leave behind a broken mess of women and children. If she took a stand and said, ‘I want to manufacture my products in Chicago or Los Angeles, where I can ensure people humane conditions,’ she would be taking the right stand.”
For the full shocking story on conditions within the sweatshops, and to read how Carmen Electra and Mel B are also coming under fire, pick up the new issue of Star magazine — on newsstands now.

HIV/AIDS Cure Found in Canada??
A possible vaccine for HIV virus responsible for AIDS has been found in Canada. No, it didn’t fall off the sky, but it was the result of a lot of researches.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given green light for human clinical trial of a vaccine developed in Canada.

This January, the vaccine will be tested on HIV positive patients to see whether it kills the virus.
 
Canadian News The Star reports:
It is the first preventive HIV vaccine approved for clinical trials to use a whole HIV-1 virus, which has been both killed and genetically engineered, to activate immunity.
In this way, the new vaccine is much like the killed whole virus vaccines that are successful against polio, rabies and influenza.

“FDA approval for human clinical trials is an extremely significant milestone for our vaccine, which has the potential to save the lives of millions of people around the world by preventing HIV infection,” said Dr. Chil-Yong Kang, professor of virology at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Western Ontario, in a release.
The announcement came out from London on Tuesday morning. Now the whole medical science is looking forward to January test to see whether it succeeds or not while condom productions are possibly holding their breath. At least, it was the best reason they could promote their product, so to say!...HAVE HOPE!

Beanie Siegal at WalMart??
Looks like Beanie Sigel loves Wally World too. The Philly rapper was spotted in his neighborhood discount superstore over the weekend. Check the pic...
Beanie was caught up in the weekend rush this weekend at a Wal-Mart in his hometown of Philadelphia. Clearly he had a DVD exchange or return situation as he was spotted on the customer service line.
Beanie was looking a bit rougher than usual. I know y'all are beefing and all but Jay-Z, can you come help out your former homie?
We thought Beans just ran up there real quick to play Secret Santa and pay off someone's layaway. But seeing that he practices Islamic faith....

NeNe and Glee...PERFECT TOGETHER?
NeNe Leakes Real Housewives of Atlanta camera time may be shrinking but NeNe's profile just got higher. Ms. I'm Very Rich Bitch just snagged a recurring role on a top rated TV show...
Nene will appear in several episodes of Glee as synchronized swim coach Roz Washington, nemesis to Jane Lynch's character Sue Sylvester. As well as appearing on Real Housewives, NeNe also shows up a couple times on BET next year in episodes of The Game and Let's Stay Together.
While rumors persist of NeNe angling for her own show from Bravo it doesn't appear she's waiting around for it to happen.

What does Marlo Hampton do for a living to dress like this?
 Real Housewives of Atlanta wanna-be Marlo Hampton may be called many thangs (ex-con, stunt queen, slasher, tranny, Marko, Mario and Marlon are a sampling of one’s I’ve heard) but one thing’s for sure…. she sure has some nice gear!
Official RHOA cast member Kandi Burruss caught a ton of flack during last week’s episode, when she grilled Marlo on her “occupation” and while several viewers felt Kandi was overstepping her bounds, I for one felt Kandi deserved an answer.
So… while the world awaits the revelation of Mario Marlo’s true occupation, she’d prefer you to believe that she has a “Big Poppa” (not to be confused with ‘The” Big Poppa formerly linked to Kim Zolciak). But for some reason I ain’t buying it.
But I digress…
Marlon Marlo’s “assistant” (don’t ask… I dunno either) posted a few photos online recently showing off a few keys items from her closet.

Gurl she was a stunter in the past (i.e boosting, check fraud, etc)
 She gets her hookup from the underworld.

TI, Tiny, and King Foundation 4 Annual Christmas Toy Giveaway
 T.I. and the Grand Hustle Family held their annual family’s Christmas toy giveaway. At the event T.I., his wife Tiny and their kids taught others the importance of giving back.
At the event Tip, Tiny and the entire family dressed up like Ogres…. The family told me that they wanted to show people its not all about looks but instead should be about giving from your heart, especially for Christmas.
 TI thanked all his sponsors and everyone for the support. Atlanta Hawks player Josh Smith teamed up with TI for the event along with the Athlete’s Foot and of course TI’s clothing brand Akoo. TI also thanked his longtime business associate Ms. Hannah Kang for helping put together a great event. The building was jam packed full of people in desperate need of clothes, etc. for Christmas.
One lady broke down and cried telling me how touched she was by what TI and his family were doing.
“Mr. Harris and his family wood do this for us. My babies and I have nothing, — but today we have something— so everything is all good,” she said.
It was a great time for everybody and they also gave out over 3000 toys jackets, shirts, bags, and lots of other goodies

Momma to be Bey steps out in Leggings!
She’s about ready to pop but it seems Beyonce is determined to dress to impress right up until the moment she gives birth to her first child.
The singer will welcome a tot into to the world this month but that hasn’t stopped her from donning sexy ensembles throughout her final trimester of pregnancy.
The latest racy outfit from the star comes in the form of a pair of animal print leggings which she wore to go shopping on Wednesday.
Too sexy for her bump?
Beyonce was out and about in NYC on Tuesday wearing flesh-coloured animal print leggings while she covered her top in a large shirt
Although she wore a bump-concealing loose black shirt, the diva enjoyed a spot of retail therapy in tight flesh-coloured hosiery as she picked up some gifts just in time for Christmas.
The 30-year-old had all eyes on her thighs as she visited Curve in New York City, strutting out of the venue in sexy black buckled shoe boots, a leather jacket and carrying a snakeskin bag.

Her clothing wasn’t the only animalistic quality in Beyonce’s outfit, she flaunted red claw-style nails – that stars including Lady GaGa are currently wearing - as she waved to onlookers upon exiting the building.
At the same time Bey exhibits her famous curves on the cover of the latest Jones magazine.
Rapper Jay-Z’s wife truly flashes the flesh as she appears without trousers for their Winter Arts & Entertainment issue.
The singer goes mad for buckles in a get-up plagued with the fastenings around her mid-drift and on her extravagant gladiator sandals.
With dark makeup contrasting her blonde locks, the mother-to-be looks sensual on the shoot which evidently took place before she announced she was with child.
The Parisian photo shoot she can be seen relaxing against railings on the terrace of the Maurice in the French capital as photographer Greg Gex captures her best angles.

Beyonce’s parents Mathew and Tina Knowles announced they were divorcing after 31 years of marriage on Tuesday following claims that he fathered a love child.
In regarded to parenthood, their eldest daughter tells the February issue of the publication: ‘I believe that parents prepare their kids for the moment that they’re on their own: at this point, I am taking everything my dad and my mother have taught me, and I’m able to do things my way.’

Emily B. Claims Fabolous Is NOT Tapping Adrienne Bailon
Em and Adrienne are friends and have been for a long time. So Emily claims there just can't be any truth to the rumors. *eyebrows raised* Check out what she has to say inside...
On the heels of Emily finding out her sometime man and baby's daddy, rapper Fabolous, was cheating with castmate Kimbella while Em was pregnant with their son, she's attempting to debunk rumors he's also cheating with Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon.
Adrienne and Fab tend to pop up at all the same event together--sometimes with Emily but usually without--and also seem to be at least a little bit closer than "that's my homeboy/homegirl." Call it woman's intuition or whatever you want. But it's something that more than a couple people have noticed.

So in Emily's new interview with Loop 21, she claims there's no truth to there being a relationship. Why? Because Adrienne has been friends with both Em and Fab for a long time. Since that's always stopped folks from cheating before. And Fab is close to Adrienne's alleged boyfriend we've heard nothing about until this year. Word around the internets this "man" of hers is Lenny S., Fab's manager. How convenient.
Loop 21: On the blogs, we see you with Adrienne Bailon, who was rumored to be messing with Fabolous, your ex. What’s going on there?
Emily B.: I just left from being with her. We’ve been friends for years. We’re all friends. I think that when you see Fab and you see Adrienne, they’re both celebrities so you automatically assume that they’re together, but he’s actually friends with her boyfriend. And I won’t reveal her business. We were always together and that’s how that misconception started, but she is not dating Fab. I actually feel bad for her at this point because she can’t get rid of it, but we laugh at it. She comes to my house on Christmas...

Loop 21: So there’s nothing there?
Emily B.: No! (Laughs)

Loop 21: A lot of women identify with your story. What advice would you give to women who are dealing with trying to break away from an ex?
Emily B.: If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything. You have to be strong. You have to love you first. When you go into your relationship know what you want and demand those things from the beginning. Set boundaries and if you do it from the beginning you’ll know if it’s going to work or not. But if you don’t, you’ll end up five, six years down the line like, ‘Well, wait a minute!’ That’s my problem. I always wanted to be cool, ride-or-die. I’m down for him. I wanted to be that chick, but somewhere along the line, I lost who I was and it was all about him. I realized that hmm, maybe this is not right. I had to set some boundaries.

By the way, despite all the independent woman stuff she's going on about in this new season of LAHH, she's already confirmed months ago she's back with Fab.
Believe what you want boo....

Welcome back? Kris Humphries booed as he returns to the court with the New Jersey Nets
The $8m contract may go some way to help.
But Kris Humphries received a harsh welcome back to the court with the New Jersey Nets as he was booed and jeered by a 20,000-strong crowd.
The 26-year-old estranged husband of Kim Kardashian suffered a double blow after his team lost 88-82 against New York Knicks in a pre-season game at Madison Square Garden.

He played six scoreless minutes of the second quarter, staying on the bench in the fourth as chants of 'We want Humphries! We want Humphries!' broke out.
'I felt like Rudy,' Humphries said afterwards, in reference to the beleaguered movie sports character of the 1993 movie of the same name.
Earlier the sports star was a little bit more upbeat.
 'I’m excited to be back,' said Humphries, who was working out in Minneapolis while trying to secure a new contract. 
'It’s good to see the guys again. Although it’s a one-year deal, I’m happy and motivated. I think if you ask any player, they all would want a max contract with the longest terms.
'But I’m happy with the deal and glad to be back.'
Humphries went through an eventful offseason, despite an NBA lockout that kept players away from their jobs longer than expected.
'Life just happens. As long as you’re focused and pay attention to life, everything is easier. I learned that I put my faith in God, my family and basketball. I feel now like I’m home again.'
The 6-foot-9 star enjoyed a breakthrough season with the Nets last year, averaging 10 points and 10.4 rebounds in his second season with New Jersey, more than doubling his career averages. He was fifth in the NBA in rebounding.
He went through the free agent process and fielded offers from other teams.
'But this is where I wanted to be,' Humphries said. 'There were other options, but I was just waiting for things to come together here.'

Humphries is now living in his Hoboken bachelor pad again and friends tell RadarOnline he is happy in the set-up.
'[He is] thrilled to be living in his New Jersey bachelor pad again. He is anxious to get back on the court, and put this past year behind him,' the source said.
