That’s right, Wiz Khalifa just beat out Terrible Meets Evil, Huge Sean, Foster The People, and Scotty McCreery for the title of Top New Artist!

The rapper, clearly overwhelmed with such an accolade, thanked his fans, management team, and fiance Amber Rose during his acceptance speech!

Congratulations, boy!

Well-deserved!

And as the presenter MileyBird said, you only get to be new once, so delight in it!

Two weeks after President Barack Obama announced his support of gay marriage, the NAACP has followed suit, and announced that their board of directors voted to endorse the civil right yesterday!

NAACP President & CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said in a statement:

“Civil marriage is a civil right and a matter of civil law. The NAACP’s support for marriage equality is deeply rooted in the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and equal protection of all people.”

And Chairman of the Board of Directors Roslyn M. Brock continued:

“The mission of the NAACP has always been to ensure the political, social and economic equality of all people. We have and will oppose efforts to codify discrimination into law.”

Incredible!

And in response to the announcement, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Executive Director Rea Carey said:

“We are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the NAACP working together on the many issues that affect all of our lives. Whether it be honest access to education and jobs, an end to voter suppression and racial profiling, the right to like and be who we are free of discrimination — these issues affect all of us, our families and our country. Today the NAACP did what it does so well — inspires and affirms our common humanity.”

Perfectly said!

Yet another proud moment for this country! More and more progress every day!

EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL!

In a report place out by E! News on Sunday (May 20), the “Terminator 3″ actor’s bride, Rose Stahl, confirmed that Nick had checked in to a treatment center the previous evening.

According to Rose, the 32 year-ancient sent an “unemotional and unapologetic e-mail” on Friday night explaining that he was okay and was plotting on entering a 30-day program that night, adding that he would make future arrangements to get his clothes.

As previously reported by GossipCenter, the actor’s wife originally contacted the LAPD on Monday, May 14th, as she filed a missing person’s report and believed that substance abuse had something to do with his disappearance.
