DEVELOPING: Cool C’s Execution Scheduled This Week
UPDATE: Cool C has been granted a stay of execution by a Philadelphia judge, which means the rapper will not face death by lethal injection on Jan. 8, Philadelphia’s NBC 10 reports. Judge L. Felipe Restrepo signed off on the emergency stay of execution in December. This serves as his second stay, with the first being in 2006.
ORIGINAL STORY: Back in November, I shared news that Philadelphia rapper Cool C would be executed for his involvement in the death of a police officer during a bank robbery in 1996. The artist, who made his mark in hip-hop in the ’80s, will meet his end by lethal injection Thursday (Jan. 8).
Cool C, born Christoper Roney, was accused of attempting to rob a PNC bank with fellow Philly rapper Steady B. Roney was convicted on charges of first-degree murder for the shooting death, but the two have always maintained their innocence. During his trial, the rhymer’s mother said her son was at home making breakfast for himself and couldn’t have been involved in the botched robbery. However, he lost that trial and the decision was upheld when the case was brought to the Supreme Court in 2005.
For those who don’t know, the 45-year-old MC first stepped on to the scene with his Hilltop Hustlers crew back in 1987, and challenged a then very well-respected MC Shan on the song ‘Juice Crew Dis.’
From there, he inked a deal with Atlantic Records and released his signature cut, ‘Glamorous Life,’ off the album, ‘I Gotta Habit.’ He went on to deliver a joint album, ‘Countin’ Endless Bank,’ in 1993, on Ruffhouse Records with his newly formed group C.E.B. Steady B and rapper Ultimate Eaze were also members of the short-lived group.
His execution was originally slated to occur in 2006, but he was granted a stay. Cool C, an entertainer whose lyrics once centered on the ability to “live the glamorous life,” won’t receive the same opportunity tomorrow.
Charlie Hendo Paris TERROR Attack Suspect Dead, Two in Custody!
One of the suspects in the Paris attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine has been killed and the two others are in custody, two senior U.S. counterterrorism officials told NBC News on Wednesday.
Authorities earlier had identified the three men as Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi, both French and in their early 30s, and Hamyd Mourad, 18, whose nationality wasn't immediately clear.
One of the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to publicly discuss the investigation, told The Associated Press that the men were linked to a Yemeni terrorist network. Cherif Kouachi was convicted in 2008 of terrorism charges for helping funnel fighters to Iraq's insurgency and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Twelve people were killed in the attack by gunmen, armed with AK-47s, who attacked the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a publication that has enraged Muslims for publishing cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.
On their way in, they killed a maintenance worker, then stormed into an editorial meeting, where they killed eight journalists.
A source familiar with the investigation told NBC News that the men targeted those magazine employees who had created or published cartoons showing Muhammad — asking for their victims by name. They executed editor and cartoonist Stephane Charbonnier, popularly known as Charb; Bernard Maris, a Bank of France economist who was a columnist for the magazine; and three cartoonists.
A security officer and a guest were also gunned down. As they fled, they killed a second police officer. Eleven other people were injured, four of them critically, officials said.
Because the masked, black-clad gunmen attacked with militaristic precision and left the scene with shouts of "Allahu Akbar," the killers were suspected to be well-trained Islamic extremists.
Little information was immediately available about Mourad and Said Kouachi, but Cherif Kouachi has been suspected of involvement in terrorist groups for at least a decade. In January 2005, he and another French national were arrested in Paris as they were planning to fly to Iraq via Syria. Kouachi was described at the time as one of two deputies to the leader of an operation to send young volunteers to Iraq to fight U.S.-led forces.
Authorities linked the operation to the 19th Arrondissement Network, named for the Paris district where it was based, which is home to many Muslim families with roots in France's former North African colonies. Kouachi was convicted in 2008 and sentenced to three years in prison, 18 months of which were suspended.
The Associated Press quoted Cherif Kouachi in 2008 as saying he'd been motivated by outrage at images of torture of Iraqi inmates at the U.S. prison at Abu Ghraib. "I really believed in the idea," it quoted him as saying.
While authorities hunted the suspects Wednesday, shock and mourning spread across Paris and the rest of France, a country with an estimated 5 million Muslims. France has a long, troubled relationship with its Arab immigrants and a more recent history of unrest among young native-born Muslims. There has been growing concern about young men and women returning to France after joining jihadist activity in the Middle East.
Thousands of Parisians took to the streets in spontaneous and defiant demonstrations of unity. They lighted candles and held signs declaring "Je Suis Charlie" ("I am Charlie") in reference to the magazine. At the Place de la Republique, they crammed themselves up onto the monument in the middle of the square and chanted "Charlie! Liberty!" Candles, posters and signs covered the three statues representing Liberty, Equality and Fraternity — the bedrock of French values.
"They want to scare French citizens and prohibit any criticism of religion, so here we are to remind them that religion can be freely criticized," said Sasha Reingewirtz, 28, president of the Jewish Students Union.
President Francois Hollande declared Thursday a day of national mourning and called for a minute of silence at noon. Flags will fly at half-staff for three days. The government raised its terrorism threat level to its highest grade and announced that security forces would be deployed at media outlets, major shopping venues, sites of religious worship and transportation networks in the Paris region.

Waiter Fired After Leaving Racial Slur On Receipts
A waiter was fired for leaving a racial slur on the receipts of six black customers at Shatila Lebanese Grill and Hookah in Arlington, Texas on New Year’s Eve.
Visibly frustrated after the friends asked for separate checks, the waiter typed in the word “N-GGA” to identify them on their receipts.
“All capital letters, just right there,” said customer Justyce Hill. “I just did a double take. I was like, ‘Wow.’ It was just a shock to me.'”
She went on to say they tried addressing the situation as politely as possible; pulling the server to the side to ask him about the receipts. They say he downplayed the slur, telling them he “didn’t mean anything by it.”
According to the Dallas Observer: The server, identified only on the receipt as “Ragheed,” was promptly fired after the incident by Shatila owner Mike Salame. Salame claims that the 18-year-old Ragheed wasn’t having much success in his first few weeks at the restaurant, and Salame says that he was “waiting for his third strike” after complaints from other customers.
Although Salame reached out the party with his apologies, there’s no word on whether or not he comped the meal in question.

Kirstie Alley Flaunts Fabulous 50-Pound Weight Loss!
She’s struggled with a yo-yoing waistline for years and now it seems Kirstie Alley has finally declared victory over her battle of the bulge.
The “Cheers” actress dropped by the “Today” show on Monday to chat with Matt Lauer about her latest milestone thanks to Jenny Craig. Kirstie confidently declared “We’re at 50 [pounds lost]! I used to do roller coaster… this time it’s different.”
Alley added, "This time, I really accessed our consultants. I did [use them in the past] but I didn't really listen to them that much. This time I really listened… I really listened to her and we would plan things out more carefully."
"Before I've had more of a view of 'Get to the goal, have the goal.’ This time I thought, 'Okay, what is the goal? What is the time-span of the goal?' I really looked at it as this is my life, and until I'm dead basically, I am going to keep this this way, instead of like, 'Oh I lost 50 pounds and now I can do whatever I want.' I don't have that anymore… my goal is to keep this and maintain this throughout my life."

Puppy Love? Are Selah Marley & Grace Miguel’s Son...Dating?
Looks like there may be a teenage romance blossoming between Lauryn Hill & Rohan Marley’s daughter and Usher’s soon-to-be step-son/Usher's rumored fiancée Grace Miguel’s son.
16-year-old Selah Marley (who had a huge birthday bash last November) may be in a relationship with Usher’s fiancée Grace Miguel’s son, who goes by the name Raiden. And they have possibly been dating at least a year (if not longer).
We first saw Raiden this past Christmas celebrating with his mom, her rumored fiance Usher, family and friends. But then if you take a peek at Selah’s Instagram, you'll see a familar face. There are a slew of appearances from the young man and the captions say it all. Above, they were all smiles as they watched Kanye West rock the stage for his YEEZUS tour stop at the Barclays Center.
Last month, Selah celebrated Raiden's birthday (above) at Nobu in New York City in which she captioned, "happy birthday old man "
But last year on his birthday, she posted up a much more personal birthday shoutout. She wrote:
happy birthday to the best person ive ever met! i love you and im so happy about all the times we've shared together! you're literally my favorite person on earth and i can't ever be away from you! although you didn't write me a long thing for my birthday it's whatever although i may not be the first to post a picture, hopefully i am.. i love you! and im so excited for your party tonight! but otherwise, happy 16th birthday again, im so grateful you put up w me cause im crazy and i hope you have the best time of your life yet today. happy birthday baby, i hope there's many more to come. i love you!
Oh?
In November, the two hung out backstage during Usher's "UR Experience" tour stop at Madison Square Garden. And the "Good Kisser" singer was on his photobomb ish.
The twosome appear to be madly in (teenage) love with one another. Selah has tons of pics posing it up with her boo with plenty of heart emojis and "I love you" filling up captions.
Awww.
And they've even gone on trips together. Looks like they had a blast snowboarding in Vermont.
Then back where it all possibly began.....
The first pic we spot Raiden in with a group of her friends for her first day at her new school. So this looks like a highschool sweetheart situation. How cute!
Ahhh to feel that teenage-love-affair love again...
Monster sues Beats and HTC for fraud over their headphone deal
Looks like Monster Audio company wants a piece of that Apple…..According to a new lawsuit, Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine “betrayed” and “defrauded” millions of dollars from Monster, the company responsible for the designing Beats by Dre headphones.
In a lawsuit filed in San Mateo County Superior Court Tuesday, Monster CEO Noel Lee said that his company was betrayed by Beats Electronics, the company behind “Beats By Dr. Dre” headphones, when the two companies parted ways in 2012, and that Beats has gone on to try to erase Monster’s contribution to its headphones.
After severing ties with Monster, Beats was purchased by Apple for $3 billion.
But as the Beats co-founders made millions, Monster lost millions from its investment in the rise of Beats, the suit charges. Had Lee retained his original 5% interest in Beats, his total stake in the Beats-Apple deal would have been worth over $100 million, the suit alleges.
Wonder how Apple will respond to this claim…..stay tuned
Rev. Al Sharpton’s Viagra prescription found in Sandy Rubenstein’s home during Raid
Al Sharpton appears to be involved in a Rape scandal with one of his top official’s that has been accused. During an investigation into Sandy Rubenstein’s home, officials found a prescription for the sex pill Viagra issued in Sharpton’s name.
According to the NY Dailynews.com; A prescription for the sex pill Viagra was found in Rubenstein’s apartment — but it was issued in Sharpton’s name, a police source told the Daily News.
A shocked Sharpton initially said he was unaware of a doc’s note for the little blue pill that solves erectile dysfunction.
“I don’t know anything about that, no, I don’t know anything about that,” Sharpton said, after a speechless second.
But he roared back a moment later, accusing the source who leaked the detail of trying to embarrass him with a smear campaign and saying he would demand an investigation.
“I am not saying what I do or don’t do, I’m not going to invade my privacy for some cop,” said Sharpton. “I have no knowledge of what was in (Rubenstein’s) apartment. But it’s not uncommon for men of all ages to use certain things.
“If the motive of the cop was to embarrass me, at 60 years old, I am unembarrassable,” fumed Sharpton, the prescription was just the latest in a string of tawdry finds cops made as they searched Rubenstein’s apartment after a top official with Sharpton’s National Action Network accused him of drugging and raping her last year.
The real question is, why were the pills in Sandy Rubenstein’s apartment to begin with? Were they sharing the pills (maybe Al passed him a few in the bottle) or did he leave them there after using his friend’s apartment for a one-night stand?.. So many questions….
By the way a judge has decided NOT to charge Sanford Rubenstein with rape. There’s not enough evidence to charge him!
