Jaun-Carlos Cruz was to kill wife and himself; Why not having kids isn't the end of the world


Juan-Carlos Cruz pulled a page from a fantasy novel.  Cruz, who once hosted a show on the food network, was trying to hire homeless men to off his wife, and then planned on killing himself soon after.  It's all because his wife, Jennifer Campbell, was infertile.
Sources say the Santa Monica Police Department and the L.A. County District Attorney are fully aware 47-year-old Jennifer Campbell has been despondent for years over her infertility and has spoken openly to friends that she wanted to end her life.


But Campbell is a deeply religious, practicing Catholic and the church views suicide as a mortal sin.


Our law enforcement sources say the information police and prosecutors have "is absolutely clear" -- Cruz was trying to honor his wife's wishes by ending her life. He then planned on killing himself.
Women you should never feel bad about not being able to have children.  There are so many other children in this world with whom you can touch.  Many children out here need the loving care that  you can provide.  You cannot change the way you were designed so why get sad and depressed over it.  The adoption processes in the United States are long if you took that route, but there are many you can adopt outside the country.  Use all that love you have in your heart on children who need it.  You will be surprised at the fulfillment you get.

Rappers Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Ambushed at Video Shoot; Hood Mentality 101

Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka were recently ambushed at a video shoot by random persons looking for a fight.



There is something in the ghetto that tends to keep even the biggest stars in the ghetto, the hood mentality.  The is more so seen in urban communities than in any others.  It is a state of mind where one thinks one has to prove a point everywhere one goes, violence is the only answer, snitching is forbidden and people do not like seeing another person get ahead of them.  That mentality has to be broken in order to progress in this world.  Some of us still stay in that mind-frame and wonder why we still find ourselves in the hood or ghetto even though we might not be physically there anymore.  You have to care about yourself enough to know the place you come from doesn't embody you or define you.  It is okay to acknowledge it as your roots, but that is where it should start and end.

New Miss USA Rima Fakih already surrounded with 'stripping' photos controversy and raunchy video

The new crowned Miss USA Rima Fakih has only been crowned for one day and is already swirled in controversy.   Photos of her involved in a striptease contest have hit the net. 
Mojo In The Morning held an event at The Coliseum gentlemen's club in Detroit in 2007 called "Stripper 101" in which Fakih was a contestant. "Rima was one of the girls that won most of the contests that day. We do a pole dancing contest, lap dance contest and booty popping contest," Mojo told RadarOnline.com Monday morning. "She won a personal stripping pole for your house and we had an adult company that gave away all kinds of toys and dirty things that make me blush."
Miss USA officials are currently investigating this issue.
But a second source close to the pageant told RadarOnline.com that officials are definitely looking into it, taking the matter seriously and looking to limit potential damage.

Mojo said that when the pageant spokesperson called his station, "They were not happy about the photos. They don't want this out there. I asked if something was wrong and they told me they couldn't comment on that and just needed to make a determination.


"Rima's a good girl. She was so incredible at the event and we don't think it should be a reflection of her Miss USA title," Mojo continued. "There are doctors and lawyers that are a part of those events we do, so we don't think the pageant should look at this in a negative way."

Rima Fakih is honored to have been the first Arab-american to win the Miss USA contest ever.
We do not think there should be a big blowup surrounding this and we are sure, considering some of the past winners, Donald Trump and the Miss USA organization, not let this controversy get out of hand.

As for being an aspiring role model for young women all across the country by being Miss USA, do you think Fakim made a smart choice in participating in these contests?  We have to always watch what we do in  our present, because it might affect our future.  Think about your decisions now instead of when it becomes too late!

Spencer admits to Holding Heidi Captive: Freedom in a Relationship

In the clip from tomorrow night's The Hills episode, Spencer admits to keeping Heidi captive and doesn't let her do anything.  



As you all know, Heidi's mother claimed her daughter was being held captive. Soon after,  Heidi tried to have her mom arrested.

Women, anytime you get to a point in a relationship where things are this controlled, RUN AWAY.  DO NOT let a man tell you what to do when it comes to personal freedoms.  Same things goes for men, do not let a women tell you what you can and can't do when it comes to personal freedoms.  You have a right to decide who you can and can't talk to and what you can and cannot do. 

Christina responds to Lady Gaga fued for the "last time"; How to fight jealousy

Christina Aguilera has responded to the Lady Gaga comments she made in 'Out' magazine that leaked earlier today
Dear Fans,



I would like to take a moment to clarify something that has been brought to my attention this morning. It is very easy for comments to be taken out of context and create unnecessary drama-especially between us women. So I would like to tell you all directly so my words can not be misconstrued to sell someone else’s story…I have absolutely nothing against Lady Gaga or any other female artist in this business. I think she is great, and I appreciate any woman fearless enough to go against the norm. She has earned her success with hard work and a clear focus and I have nothing but respect for that.

There is room for all of us on everyone’s iPods.



This is not the first time I have been unfairly pitted against another female artist but it will be the last time I comment on the matter.

Do you think Christina is being treated unfairly in all this or do you think it she has been rightfully criticized for making those comments?

Women are often pitted against one another, but other women sometimes pit themselves against each other.  Jealousy is a bad monster and needs to be tamed.  We are not referring to Christina per say, but women in general.  If you loved yourself enough, you wouldn't have to be so quick to dismiss the next women because you feel superior or inferior.  Love who you are and what you have to bring to the table.  No two people are alike.  Find what makes you unique and focus on that and that alone.





“Can’t hold us down….”



With love,

Unknown Entertainment Reporter named Jawn Murray takes aim at Erykah Badu and She Responds; The negative culture of our press

Erykah Badu responded to claims by an unknown entertainment reporter named Jawn Murray who gave one of her recent concerts a bad review. 

The unknown reporter had this to say in response on his twitter

Tom Joyner told me on-air that Erykah Badu is mad about my report from #TobagoJazzExperience. She's not happy that I said her show was bad.

I'm the one that should be mad! I had to sit thru that artsy-fartsy show full of obscure album cuts that no one knew! Get over it Erykah!


I wonder if Erykah is also mad at the thousands of people who walked out & the local Tobago media that panned her show? I guess not! lol
Erykah Badu responded to these allegations on the Tom Joyner morning show simply responding,  "Who is Jawn Murray?"

Jawn Murray takes regular digs at various celebrities on his spot on the Tom Joyner morning show.  He kind of reminds us of the black Perez Hilton, but a lot less popular.  It upsets us when people diss what they do not understand.  He has an opinion just like everybody else, but the negative way in which he went about saying it was what we did not like.  People love to hate what they cannot understand and often try to cast it down and negatively talk about it.  If you call yourself a "reporter" as he says it, your news media coverage is supposed to remain unbiased and for the most part.  When you take regular digs at celebrities like Badu and Solange Knowles, it does nothing but increase the negative environment that surrounds our celebrity culture and a discord amongst fans and the entertainers.  Erykah was right in responding "Who is Jawn Murray?"  Just because you have an audience to speak to, does not give you the write to spew negative statements about the celebrities who gave you the status you have now. 

This is with all reporters and bloggers.  This culture has become so negative.  It is time that we started being responsible and accurate when reporting these stories.  The people viewing these gossip blogs and columns no longer know the difference between what is real news and what is speculation anymore.  And adding a mean-spirited tone to your news or gossip stories does not help neither.  You have an impressionable audience.  People like this Jawn Murray guy and Perez Hilton have so much karma coming back to them and we all know it.  Do you want that coming back to you? You be the judge.

Rapper Pitbull Cancels Arizona concert in Protest of New Law; Why Other Aritists Should Take Note

Rapper Pitbull has pulled out of his concert in Arizona to protest the new immigration law that was passed
.  He explained himself on twitter.

"I am cancelling my concert in Phoenix on May 31… How is the country we enjoy and love bcuz (because) of its human rights, freedom, opportunity and that has been built by immigrants, now start 2 (sic) deny them?? …It is contradicting 2 everything the USA stands 4 (sic)."

We think more artists and entertainers should do this.  We should not support a state that openly discriminates against its own citizens.  America is a wonderful land full of diverse people and so many freedoms others wish they had.  Why is it that we always look for ways to take these freedoms and opportunities away from each other.  Did you know that 10 other states are also considering an Arizona-like immagration law?  Those of us Americans who usually do not participate in politics should let our voices be heard because ignorace is taking over our country and it is time to reclaim it back!
