16 Year Old Chicago Honor Student Beaten To Death

My Fox has released a video they were able to obtain of the beating of Chicago’s Fender High School student Derrion Albert. Albert attempted to help a fellow student when rival gangs broke out into a fight Thursday afternoon whenhe took a fatal hit in the head with a board and beating.
Workers from a near by community center came to rescue the victim but they were already too late. So far three assailants have been arrested with connection to Derrion’s murder. They’ve all been charged with first-degree murder.

This is sad all around. So many people walking in the vicinity of the fight and didn’t stop the fight.

Amerie Relesaes Album Artwork, Whitney Covers Het Magazine

I’m truly hoping for the success of this album. I think I wouldn’t be pushing the gun when I say, Amerie needs this to be a success. She is talented and beautiful, but unfortunately it is not enough to secure a hit.
I am not in love with the album cover but I don’t hate it either. It’s,well, interesting….

The Album, In Love & War is set for release on November 3rd.


On a dual cover issue featuring actress Keisha Knight Pullman, Whitney Houston covers the October issue of Jet mag where she discusses her mother’s intervention on her road to recovery. Get a copy at your local news stand.

Woman To Woman: Swizz’s Ex-wife MaShonda To Alicia Keys

In an attempt to get some questions answered and to clear the air, Swizz Beatz’s soon to be x-wife Mashonda would like to have a one on one with Swizz new woman, Alicia Keys. After viewing Alicia’s twitter references she makes about love, Mashonda took to her own twitter page to confront Ms. Keys.

After having a great evening with my son and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @aliciakeys twit page. I’ve never reached out to her on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I’ve reached out to her many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any wife would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet AK, my husband introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call him my husband, until he is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to her (AK), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what she might be hearing, I am still married to my husband, living with him and just had a child. Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my son.
