A well-respected young Clarendon Pastor is said to have gotten a 14 year old girl pregnant. The Pastor, who is said to be very helpful, and was a motivator to youths in the community, has been having romantic affairs with the teenage girl and she is now carrying his child.

According to sources, the young Minister has been asked to step aside because of the embarrassment to the church. Since the incident, even the members of the Pastor's family have stopped going to the church, as persons in the community and members of the church have not been quite receptive of them.

The Pastor has not been seen for several weeks there either. It is not clear as to whether or not he has been transferred to another church or out of the parish. The teenage girl is expected to give birth in a few months.

Chris Brown has been accused of stealing a woman's iPhone in Miami after she tried to take pictures of the R&B singer.

According to reports, Brown stole Christal Spann's phone outside a nightclub in Miami. Spann stated that she had followed Chris Brown and Tyga out of the Cameo nightclub in the early hours of Sunday morning and took a picture of Brown as he got into his Bentley. 

Brown reportedly flipped out when he saw her camera phone-- then grabbed it through the car window, saying, "B***h, you ain't going to put that on no website."

The police report states that the 22-year old star then rolled up his car window and drove off with Spann's $500 phone. 

The young woman has since filed a report against Brown stating "robbery by snatching" as the reason for her complaint. 

The representative added that no arrests have been made and no warrant has been issued yet, with the incident said to currently be under investigation. Chris is still on probation for his 2009 assault on ex-girlfriend Rihanna, meaning if he is arrested he could face time in prison for violating terms of his probation.

A 15 year old boy has been arrested for collecting money in an extortion racket. It is alleged that the boy was taken into custody when he was witnessed taking the money in Portmore, St Catherine.

The allegations are that the teenager had just collected $8,000 from the complainant when he was held by the police. The police claimed that the teen was held after its intelligence revealed that he had collected the extortion money on behalf of a man who is presently serving time in prison.

It is alleged that the man had called the complainant by telephone and made threats and demanded that the money be paid over to the teen.

A report was made to the police and the boy was later caught collecting the money. He is scheduled to appear in the Children's Court later this month.

According to reports, some individuals are upset that Machel Montano has walked away with the Soca Monarch title. Many believe that other artistes enter every year but are always denied victory simply because Machel is in the competition.

Some Antiguans & Barbudans have expressed displeasure with local artiste Hard Knaxx's loss at the International Soca Monarch Competition in Trinidad on Friday. Many individuals have been calling in to radio stations expressing their displeasure at this. One caller said: "I think we waste time sending artistes down there to perform. It doesn't make any sense... In a million years they are not going to win anything."

Hard Knaxx himself was also dissatisfied with the show. He conveyed that aspects such as fireworks, confetti and stage lighting were not delivered during his performance. "I see that as not being professional enough at the night of the show, by paying for everything and not getting nothing ... It's like a bias thing," Hard Knaxx said. 

The artiste also claims that although the music was fine in rehearsals it was lacking on the night of the show. However, Hard Knaxx said he does not dwell on the innuendos and remains in high spirits. He is calling the show a "win-win" situation.

"It's a big thing, it's a big achievement, even though I didn't win. Everyone is still a winner," Knaxx said.
