Lamar Odom Wants To Work On Marriage With Khloe

Lamar Odom has revealed he isn’t ready to give up on his marriage just yet.
Despite wife Khloé Kardashian having filed for divorce from the troubled basketball star three months ago, the 34-year-old has opened up about his hope for a future with the woman who stood by him
for so long.
‘I want to make it work with Khloé,’ Lamar tells the latest issues of In Touch magazine – on newsstands now.
Speaking from his New York City hotel, where he is receiving physical therapy for a back injury,
the star reveals he will soon be heading back to Los Angeles – and hopefully into the arms of his estranged wife.
‘I’m going to see Khloé. I’m going to see her soon,’ the hopeful-sounding NBA player shared of his plans.
Having briefly relocated to Spain, where he was playing for the Baskonia basketball team until an injury cut short his season, the athlete is now focused on getting his life in order.
‘I’m focusing on getting better,’ he tells the publication.
And it seems that part of getting back on track means not only making amends with his ex, but hopefully reuniting with her, too.
Despite warnings from concerned family and friends who don’t want to see her get hurt again, the 29-year-old is reported to be willing to give their relationship another chance.
‘He confessed his feelings and cried his heart out to her on the phone,’ an insider tells the magazine of the conversation that occurred in mid-March and turned everything on its head as far as Khloé’s concerned.
The source adds: ‘She’d been avoiding his texts and calls for weeks, but when she heard him pleading with her to take him back, she melted.’
Whether purely coincidental or not, Khloé took to Instagram on March 16 – the same day Lamar sat down with In Touch – to share a poignant message with fans.
The inspirational image posted to her account hinted that a reconciliation wasn’t completely out of the question despite the pair still having plenty of obstacles to overcome.
‘I declare that I will live as a healer,’ the message began. ‘I am sensitive to the needs of those around me. I will lift the fallen, restore the broken and encourage the discouraged.
‘I am full of compassion and kindness. I won’t just look for a miracle; I will become someone’s miracle by showing God’s love and mercy everywhere I go. This is my declaration.’

7 Killed in East Harlem Building Gas Explosion

noreply@blogger.com (Jackolantern) — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:44:00 +0000

The call to Consolidated Edison came at 9:13 a.m. on Wednesday: The smell of gas, detectable the night before, had strengthened around two buildings by 116th Street and Park Avenue in East Harlem. Less than 20 minutes later, the buildings were gone, leveled by a tremendous explosion whose tremors could be felt more than a mile away. The blast, which city officials said was touched off by a gas leak, killed at least seven people and wounded at least two dozen more. Rescue workers continued to search the rubble well into the night, hoping to find the nine occupants of the buildings who were still missing late Wednesday. The explosion blew out windows in surrounding buildings and sent debris crashing onto nearby streets. People were trapped in their cars, in the rubble and in neighboring apartments. Others rushed toward the towering plume of flames and smoke, making desperate rescue attempts. There was little warning, certainly not enough to have safely evacuated the area, Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a news conference, near where the buildings once stood at 1644 and 1646 Park Avenue. “This is a tragedy of the worst kind because there was no indication in time to save people,” he said, warning that the search “will take quite a bit of time.” - See more at: http://bossip.com/930611/update-at-least-7-people-killed-in-east-harlem-building-gas-explosion-two-dozen-wounded/#sthash.

Ukraine Russian Crisis

noreply@blogger.com (Jackolantern) — Mon, 03 Mar 2014 21:40:00 +0000

Russian Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin says ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich has sent a letter to Putin asking him to use military force in Ukraine to restore law and order.
"Under the influence of Western countries, there are open acts of terror and violence," Churkin quoted the letter from Yanukovich to Putin in the third emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.

"People are being persecuted for language and political reasons," Churkin read. ”So in this regard I would call on the President of Russia, Mr. Putin, asking him to use the armed forces of the Russian Federation to establish legitimacy, peace, law and order, stability and defending the people of Ukraine."

The NYPD nabbed a pair of teen robbers Wednesday in the Fort Greene Park section ... The NYPD nabbed a pair of teen robbers Wednesday in the Fort Greene Park section of Brooklyn after they used a phone they stole from a man to take a selfie pic. Cops also suspect that the two have been responsible for a series of muggings in the area, and they now face several counts of robbery. DNAInfo reported on the arrest of 19-year-old Tyquan Solomon and 16-year-old Terrance Sistrunk of the Walt Whitman Houses in Brooklyn. According to the police report, Solomon and Sistrunk encountered a man in the early morning hours of February 2, and brandished a Black BB gun. The teens stole an iPhone and $205 in cash from the 22-year-old victim. Later that day, the victim used an iPhone cloud-based service and discovered several pictures of the robbers posing in selfie photos and holding a wad of cash. The NYPD were able to use the photos to identify the muggers, and then later arrested and charged them each with five counts of robbery.

Beverly Hilton Is Doing Renovations To Stop Sickos From Re-Enacting Diva’s Death In The “Whitney Room”

Beverly Hilton Is Doing Renovations To Stop Sickos From Re-Enacting Diva’s Death In The “Whitney Room”

These crazies won’t even let Whitney Houston rest in peace. SMH.
According to National Enquirer reports:

Two years after tragedy, debauched ghouls debase the memory of WHITNEY HOUSTON.
The hotel room where Whitney Houston died will be getting a complete makeover to keep ghoulish gawkers from flocking to the scene of the tragedy.
As the second anniversary of the singer’s death approached, workers at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles scrambled to gut Room 434 from top to bottom. Whitney drowned in the room’s bathtub on Feb. 11, 2012. Autopsy results show the 48-year-old singer had been using drugs.
“Ever since her death, the hotel has been overwhelmed with people from all over the world hoping to book the ‘Whitney room,’ ” said a hotel insider. “They want to see where it happened, and people have started asking specifically to stay in Room 434.
“Management decided it was time to move on and focus on more positive aspects of life at the hotel.”
Things had gotten so out of control that some guests were even trying to re-enact the “I Will Always Love You” singer’s final hours.
“They partied like they think Whitney did with drugs and alcohol and then they would go into the bathroom and lay down near the tub – naked, like Whitney was – and take pictures,” revealed the insider. “It’s morbid, sick and disgusting.”
Along with the room’s total decor overhaul, all the rooms on the floor will either be renumbered or given names like the “Autumn” or “Spring Flowers” Suite.
“The hotel is fed up with people coming in for the sole purpose of partying and taking pictures in the ‘Whitney Room,’ ” said the insider.
“They’ve stopped giving out that room until renovations are complete.
“If management has their way, the next person that gets that room won’t have a clue Whitney Houston died in the bathroom.”

More than 400 dead Dolphins

Dead dolphins: Peru's beaches littered with hundreds of dead dolphins – again

Dead dolphins: More than 400 dead dolphins were found in northern Peru in January. In 2012, more than 870 dead dolphins were found in the same area, and the cause of death was never determined.

A vulture sits on a dolphin carcass on the beach at Puerto Eten in Lambayeque, Peru, Jan. 4, 2014. More than 400 dead dolphins were found on Peru's Pacific Ocean beaches in January, Peruvian officials said Monday.

STR/AP

Authorities never established the cause of the deaths in 2012. They are doing autopsies on the latest dolphins, found during January in the Lambayeque region on the northern coast.

Technician Jaime de la Cruz of Peru's IMARPE marine life agency said about 220 dead dolphins were found in the last week of January, the rest during the previous three weeks.
De la Cruz said autopsy results are expected in two weeks. Exams will focus on lungs, kidneys, and livers.
Autopsies of some of the more than 870 dolphins found in 2012 were inconclusive. Speculation ranged from biotoxins in the sea to seismic testing to an unknown ailment.
Yuri Hooker, director of the marine biology unit at Cayetano Heredia University, told The Associated Press that in other parts of the world dolphin deaths generally are caused by environmental contamination. Either the sea mammals eat fish and other smaller species filled with toxins or else they ingest discarded plastic floating in the sea.
The marine biologist said determining the death of dolphins is "complicated" in Peru because government laboratories have only three or four of the 100 or so chemical reagents that can be used to determine the animals' cause of death.

Michael McFaul, the very straight forward, US ambassador to Russia who has on many occasions disagreed with the Kremlin, announced Tuesday that he would be leaving the country after only two years.

His announcement that he would also leave the US administration comes among new rise in tensions between Moscow and Washington over many issues ranging from arms to human rights to pro-Western protests in Ukraine.

McFaul said he was leaving for family reasons.

Beyonce ditches Another manager

noreply@blogger.com (Jackolantern) — Sun, 02 Feb 2014 11:02:00 +0000

Mrs. Carter Ditches Another Manager

Beyonce, Blue Ivy Carter, Break Ups, Coupled Up, For Your Information, Jay-Z, matrimony-dom, News, True or False?

Bey just gotta be free!!! Word on the curb is that she’s let go of yet another business manager so that she and hubby Hov can have complete control of her career.
According to Mail Online reports:

Beyonce has reportedly parted ways from her manager so that she can run her own affairs with the help of husband Jay-Z.
The 32-year-old singer is believed to have ditched her general manager, Live Nation Executive Faisal Durrani, the Daily Mirror reports.
Durrani, 32, is one of several managers that Beyonce has dismissed over the years so that she can run her career with Jay-Z, 44.
In 2011, the Texan singer sacked her father, Matthew Knowles, who managed the star for 21 years since she was in Destiny’s Child in 1990.
She became the president of Parkwood Entertainment, the entertainment and management company that she set up in 2008.
But now Beyonce has also allegedly dismissed general manager Faisal so that she can gain even more independence with her husband, who plays an unofficial managerial role.
A source told the Daily Mirror: ‘Jay has been heavily involved in Beyonce’s career for years, and was instrumental in organising the Mrs Carter Show World Tour. But he isn’t officially regarded as her manager – she really is independent.’
The insider added that the couple, who got married in 2008 and have a two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, want to put family life first.
‘Now the couple have Blue, she wants to make sure her family come first at all times, especially as there’s talk of them adding to the brood,’ the source added.
‘The best way to do that is to make sure all managerial decisions are made by her and her husband – together.’
When Beyonce parted ways from her father, she revealed that their relationship had often been tempestuous.
She said: ‘It took about two years, to when I was 20, for him to realize, “Oh, she is an adult now, and if she doesn’t want to do something, I can’t make her do it.’
A representative for Beyonce told Mail Online: ‘Beyonce has managed herself since 2010 under her company Parkwood Entertainment. Faisal Durrani worked for her as President for a very short time.’

Heroin in your Happy Meal?

noreply@blogger.com (Jackolantern) — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 15:17:00 +0000

An employee of a McDonald's restaurant in Pittsburgh was charged Wednesday with selling heroin in Happy Meals to customers using the coded request "I'd like to order a toy."

Allegheny County authorities made the arrest after an informant told them that an employee was selling the drug at a McDonald's in the East Liberty section of the city.
Customers looking for heroin were instructed to go through the drive-thru and say, "I'd like to order a toy," said Mike Manko, spokesman for District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. The customer would then drive to the window, hand over the money and get a Happy Meal box containing heroin in exchange, Manko said.
Undercover agents set up a drug buy and arrested Shania Dennis, 26, of East Pittsburgh. Dennis denied wrongdoing to reporters as she was being led away in handcuffs.
Authorities said they found 10 bags of heroin in a Happy Meal box and recovered another 50 bags from the suspect.
Another McDonald's employee was arrested this month for selling heroin out of a restaurant in nearby Murrysville.

Authorities said the heroin recovered Wednesday does not appear to be related to the fentanyl-laced heroin blamed for 22 overdose deaths in southwestern Pennsylvania

Is Bruce Jenner Working on Becoming A Woman?

Single Tranny Files: Bruce Jenner Working On Becoming A New Wo-Man! Considers Changing Name To Brigitte

Categories: Divorces, News, Plastic Surgery, Pure Comedy, Single Tranny Files, True or False?

This can’t be real… Can it?!? Either way, it’s the PUREST of comedy!!! The rumors of Bruce Jenner heading toward womanhood aren’t going away — they’re just becoming more outlandish!
According to National Enquirer reports:

NOW that Bruce Jenner seems to be well on his way to a gender-bending new look, he may be looking for a new name and a source says he’s leaning toward “Brigitte” after legendary screen siren Brigitte Bardot.
While the former Olympic decathlon champ hasn’t committed to the new moniker yet, there’s one thing that’s certain – it WON’T start with a “K”!
According to a source, the estranged husband of Kardashian momager Kris Jenner told a pal: “There’s going to be no more K’s in my life. I’m fed up with the Kardashians!”
“He’s also determined that the name he chooses has to start with a letter that comes well before ‘K,’” the source continued. “It makes him feel good to be ahead of the Kardashians in the alphabet.”
Although he’s long been a fan of the name “Jennifer,” Bruce is said also to be considering “Brenda,” “Brette,” and “Belle.” But “Bruscilla” is one name he won’t be going near. Right right now, the source says the frontrunner is “Brigitte.”
“At first Bruce was intrigued with Bruscilla, but after he thought about it some more, he decided it didn’t work for him,” the source explained. “He said, ‘It doesn’t roll off the tongue very well. Bruscilla sounds like some kind of disease.’
“He loves ‘Brigitte’ not only because it’s such a beautiful name, but it makes him think of Brigitte Bardot, who was a total bombshell.
“She also starred in (the 1956 movie) ‘And God Created Woman’ – and Bruce thinks it’s just perfect since he’s in the process of becoming a woman.”
Bruce, 64, and Kris, 58, announced split in October after 22 years of marriage. And as The ENQUIRER recently reported, it appears he’s already begun taking the first steps to change genders. On Jan. 19, he was spotted entering The Beverly Hills Surgical Center, where a source said he underwent a “laryngeal shave,” a procedure to soften the appearance of his Adam’s apple.
He’s grown his hair longer and has been wearing it pulled back in a ponytail, which accentuates his delicate, surgically enhanced facial features. In January, he stepped out with manicured, long fingernails.
Bruce is also looking to make an appearance as a guest judge on “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” said a source. Stepdaughter Khloe recently snagged a two-episode guest-judging role on the upcoming sixth season of the hit cable show, in which 14 drag queens compete for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar,” and Bruce has asked her to put in a good word for him.
“Bruce has been a huge fan of the show for a long time,” said the source. “He’s checked with E! executives to make sure it won’t conflict with his ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ duties. For years Bruce felt hemmed in by Kris, but now he wants to be free to pursue his own interests, including judging drag queen contests.”

I thought this Rihanna picture was funny.

Race Matters? West Virginia Hillbilly Shoots Two Black Neighbors Dead After Mistaking Them For Burglars!

Race Matters? West Virginia Hillbilly Shoots Two Black Neighbors Dead After Mistaking Them For Burglars!

Something smells a little fishy.

Man Kills Two Black Neighbors Without Warning

Anybody wanna vote for gun control yet? No? Oh, ok…
According to NY Daily News:

A West Virginia man shot and killed his new neighbor and the man’s brother without warning as the two inspected their land.
The shooter told police he thought his alleged victims were breaking into a building he mistakenly thought he owned, and police are baffled as to why he chose such a drastic measure to preserve something of no value to him.
The Cabell County Sheriff’s Department charged Rodney Bruce Black, 62, of Barboursville, with two counts of first degree murder after he killed Garrick Hopkins, 60, of Milton and his brother, Carl Hopkins Jr., 61, of Oak Hill, at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Sheriff Tom McComas told the Daily News on Monday.
Garrick Hopkins and his wife had just purchased land next door to Black and planned to start building a home in the next few weeks, McComas said. The landowner had invited his brother over to check out the property Saturday afternoon.
Black saw the two men — who were both married with children — looking inside a shed. Then, allegedly without warning or calling the police, he grabbed a rifle and fired once at both men.
They died at the scene.
“He shot first and then called 911,” McComas said. “He said they were breaking into his house but it wasn’t his property.”
“It’s just a terrible, terrible tragedy,” he said. “We’re still trying to figure all of this out. … Hopefully we’ll find out his reasoning as the investigation continues.”

Growing up White .

noreply@blogger.com (Jackolantern) — Tue, 28 Jan 2014 01:50:00 +0000

Man Describes Growing Up White And Black Families Rejection This is pretty fascinating, especially since he did not have an actual relationship with another black person until he was 25-years-old. According to NPR.org: Chad Goller-Sojourner is African-American. In 1972, when he was 13 months old, he was adopted by white parents in Tacoma, Wash. He and his siblings are all different races than their parents. They were raised in a white suburb, but worked hard to expose them to other people who looked like him, and checked out every library book with a black author they could find. They even sent them to a more diverse school in a different neighborhood. But Goller-Sojourner, now a writer and solo performer based in Seattle, says there was a limit to what his parents could provide. “One of the things I think was hardest for me is I didn’t have any independent relationships with black people, especially adult black people, till I was an adult,” he says. “I was 25 before I saw a black doctor.” As a child, he experienced racism before he had the language to understand it, he says. “For instance, shopping: I learned pretty early on that when people knew I was with this white lady, that they treated me differently,” he says. As he got older, he realized that if he didn’t want to be followed in a store, he’d better make sure people knew he was with her. “I would hold up some outfit and say, ‘Hey Mom, could I get this?’ And she’d be like, ‘No!’ Which let everybody within earshot know that I was with a white lady, and then suddenly, that privilege came back over me.” “My source of love and hate came from the same well,” he explains. “My parents looked just like the same people who were calling me a n**ger or porch monkey. … My mother and my parents were in my corner, but it was still difficult to process.” In college he began what he calls a “descent into blackness and out of whiteness.” He describes it as a journey, giving up the privileges he claimed as a child of white parents and learning to accept his identity independent of them. He added Sojourner to his name. “I moved to New York City, where for the first time I found my own reflection pleasing,” Goller-Sojourner says. “I learned to fall in love with myself and being black in my mid- to late-20s. And although it was a beautiful experience, it shouldn’t have taken 25 years to do that.” He says that while a black home may be best for a black child, he’s not opposed to transracial adoption. “Here’s what gets people upset: Part of my story is, I was 13 months old, and according to the social workers in my file, I’d already been passed over by two or three black families because they considered me too dark,” he says. His parents were among the first wave of transracial adopters, and did their best to prepare him for the real world. Parents today can do even better, he says. “I don’t have a checklist,” he says, “but if I did, it would sound something like this: If you don’t have any close friends or people who look like your kid before you adopt a kid, then why are you adopting that kid? Your child should not be your first black friend.”

China Test Fires missile.

noreply@blogger.com (Jackolantern) — Sun, 26 Jan 2014 19:12:00 +0000

January 25, 2014 – BEIJING – China’s
military has released images of an intercontinental ballistic missile
with enough range to reach the United States, as Beijing is involved in a
series of rows threatening to embroil Washington. The pictures of
Chinese soldiers test-firing a Dongfeng-31 missile, which is said by
experts to be able to carry nuclear warheads 8,000 kilometers (4,960
miles), appeared in the People’s Liberation Army Daily newspaper on
Tuesday. Further images showing soldiers dressed in protective suits,
suggesting that the drill was simulating the launch of an armed warhead,
were also posted on the sohu.com news portal, attributed to the
newspaper. Sohu.com said it was the first time that images of such an
exercise had been released. The images could not be found on the PLA
Daily’s website when checked by AFP on Thursday. China is embroiled in a
series of territorial disputes with its neighbors in the South China
Sea, and is locked in a row with Japan in the East China Sea over
islands administered by Tokyo and claimed by Beijing. The U.S. has a
security alliance with Japan and Vice President Joe Biden said last
month that a strategic shift to Asia would continue. -SW

Military build-up continues:
Visiting U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns met Thursday with
senior Chinese officials amid mounting tension between Beijing and
Washington over China’s increasingly public displays of military might
in the region. As Burns arrived in Beijing earlier this week, China’s
army showed off the first-ever images of its advanced Dongfeng-31
intercontinental ballistic missile being tested. Published Tuesday on a
website affiliated with People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the photos show
soldiers preparing and test launching the missiles, which put China’s
nuclear warheads in range of the U.S. West Coast and most European
capitals. “Seeing this photo, Americans will of course take it as a sign
of more remarkable military threat,” Shi Yinhong, a professor of
International Relations and director of the Centre on American Studies
at China’s Renmin University told CBS News. “But China is determined and
will continue its military buildup despite the fact that Amer

China issues warnings to foreign military planes over defense zone

Beijing has begun issuing warnings to foreign military planes entering its self-declared air defense zone over the East China Sea, AP reported. Air Force spokesman Shen Jinke said that multiple types of Chinese planes recently conducted a long-range patrol inside the sweeping zone that was declared in November. The Chinese planes flew alongside a number of foreign military aircraft and issued warnings to them. The spokesman did not identify the planes or say when the patrol was conducted. The US, Japan and other countries earlier denounced the zone's declaration as provocative.

Pregnant Nun.

Pregnant Nun Shocks Italy

A nun got pregnant in Italy. The pregnant nun well into adulthood gave birth to a baby boy recently. She felt pain in her abdomen which she thought was a case of stomach cramps. The Roman Catholic nun was rushed to a nearby hospital where the delivery took place.
The nun, whose privacy has been respected, has named her son Francis. Whether this is in honor of Pope Francis or Saint Francis of Assisi is a disputed fact. The small town of Rieti in Italy was where this shocking incident took place.
When questioned, the nun said she had not the slightest idea that she was pregnant. What can one say to that? Many people at the hospital have donated clothes and stuff for the infant the nun gave birth to.
Meanwhile, the town mayor has urged the public to refrain from scandal mongering and allow the nun her right to confidentiality.
The rest of the sisters at the convent expressed ignorance as to how she became pregnant in the first place. They have further volunteered to take care of the baby boy on a collective basis.
While there is such a thing as parthenogenesis (virgin birth) in Nature, it is a very rare phenomenon. Very few women can claim to give birth without the previous accompaniment of sexual intercourse or technologically assisted methods of fertilization.
For now, it remains a mystery whether or not the nun had any relations with someone before the birth of her baby son.

Lamar is featured on Robin Thicke’s late summer hit Give It to U, and has since received a Grammy Award nomination for his work.
The prestigious pre-game party takes place in New York City on Friday night January 31st at the Lower Manhattan’s Pier 36/Basketball City–just a few miles away from MetLife Stadium, where the Super Bowl will be played. Since this year’s game signifies the first time the Super Bowl has been played in NYC, the theme for the party is a ‘New York State of Mind.’ ESPN says there will be skyscrapers and a starry skyline decorating the facility in honor of the pre-game fun.
Robin Thicke is best known for his mega-hit single Blurred Lines, during which Miley Cyrus made her infamous twerking debut at the MTV Video Music Awards back in August–replete with a foam finger and little to no clothing.
