“Aunt Viv goes in on Wendy Williams!!”

Janet Hubert, the original Aunt Vivian from the sitcom “The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air” went off on Wendy Williams via her blog talk radio show “Speak Own It” because Wendy Williams continues to pry into the reasons Hubert was fired from the show (“Fresh Prince”) over 15 years ago.

Wendy Williams who is the big mouth, gossiping radio host turned television talk show host, interrogated poor Tatiana Ali over Janet’s departure. Well when Hubert tuned in to see Tatiana on Wendy’s show and heard her name, she was furious and annoyed and decided to address Wendy Williams in an open letter that she read via her blog talk radio show.

Hubert calls Wendy’s mouth “an overflowing volcano and a virus” then suggest that she wants to be another Oprah Winfrey:  “who died and told you that you were reborn Oprah, you will never be another Oprah Winfrey, Oprah lifted her audience up and exuded it with class”

Hubert not only ripped into Wendy’s big breast and fake hair but she insist Wendy is simply a travesty, who envies and hates every other black woman. Hubert even hints that Wendy Williams might be a man.

If Wendy Williams want to know what happened to Janet Hubert’s departure from “The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air” she should invite her on her show for a discussion about it. But I think it’s safe to say, Hubert can’t stand Wendy Williams so that may never happen.

You can listen to Janet Hubert’s letter to Wendy Williams here!

Oh and for the record, Janet Hubert who was the original aunt Vivian on the “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” was the best actress in that role. When she was replaced by Daphne Maxwell Reid I stopped watching the show.

Thanks to my sister Theresa for the story tip!

Is It Okay To Put White Women On The Covers Of Black Magazines?

The ReadyWriter

That’s essentially the question that Jada Pinkett-Smith posed to her Facebook friends recently.

There is a question I want to ask today. I’m asking this question in the spirit  of thinking outside of the box in order to open doors to new possibilities.  These possibilities may be realistic or unrealistic. I also want to make it  clear that there is no finger-pointing here. I pose this question with the hope  that it opens a discussion about how we can build a community for women based  upon us all taking a deeper interest in one another. An interest where skin  color, culture, and social class does not create barriers in sharing the  commonality of being… women.

With love and respect to all parties involved, my question is this…if we ask our  white sisters, who tend to be the guardians of the covers of mainstream  magazines, to consider women of color to grace these covers, should we not offer  the same consideration to white women to grace our covers? Should women extend  their power to other women simply because they are women? To my women of color,  I am clear we must have something of our own, but is it possible to share in the  spirit in which we ask our white sisters to share with us? I don’t know the  answer and would love to hear your thoughts.

What do you all think? Should white women grace the cover of African-American magazines such as, Essence, Ebony and Jet? Sound off and have a great weekend!

George Zimmerman’s Attorneys Release PHOTOSHOPPED Image

Zimmerman-photoshop

The attorneys for murder suspect George Zimmerman attempted to inflame the public by releasing an obviously Photoshopped picture of their client yesterday.

It’s no coincidence that this shamefully Photoshopped image is released just days after Zimmerman begged the public for more donations to support his lavish lifestyle.

The national media won’t tell you that the image is Photoshopped, even though a photo taken by police the SAME NIGHT shows no swelling, redness or deformity of Zimmerman’s nose.

The good quality police evidence photo taken AFTER the new photo shows superficial scratches on Zimmerman’s face. The police photos do not prove Zimmerman’s claims that he was in a life and death struggle with the unarmed teenager when he shot and killed him in March.

On Wednesday, the AP reported that Zimmerman had created a new defense fund to solicit money from the gullible public. In return for donations, contributors would receive cards with Zimmerman’s signature — an indication that Zimmerman is selling his signature for money.

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry Reach An Agreement

Halle Berry and her baby daddy, Gabriel Aubry have reached an “amicable” agreement following the violent Thanksgiving Day altercation involving Aubry and Halle’s fiance, Olivier Martinez.

Halle’s attorney Blair Berk and Gabriel’s attorney Shawn Holley were all smiles as they left court Thursday. Both sides agreed to drop their restraining orders against each other, TMZ reports.

 Rather than address the media, Blair held up a piece of paper with the handwritten statement: “The parties have reached an amicable agreement. There will be no further statements regarding this matter.”

The action comes just days after Aubry’s attorneys released graphic images of the horrific wounds Aubry suffered at the hands of Martinez, a trained boxer.

Aubry’s camp claims Martinez, 46, was angry that Aubry won a legal challenge preventing Halle from moving with her daughter, Nahla, to France, where Martinez maintains his home.

Since this incident and Halle’s latest court drama, the internet is all abuzz talking about Halle’s history of having failed relationships. Halle’s been dating Martinez since 2010.

Her Parents Found out she was dead, via Facebook!

Jasmine Benjamin (pictured above), a 17-year-old nursing student at Valdosta State University from Lawrenceville, Ga., was found dead in a study area of her dorm on Nov. 18. Georgia police are treating the death as a homicide, pending the results of an autopsy test. Jasmine’s parents say they found out about their daughter’s death via Facebook.

“For someone to be so insensitive not to reach out to the family, it’s very, very hurtful to say the least,” James Jackson, Jasmine’s stepfather, told the network.

School officials say campus police notified the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Department, which then notified her parents. Jackson said police told him that Jasmine “had been dead for at least 12 hours before she was found, because passers-by thought she was simply sleeping on the study room couch” which only adds to the family’s frustration.

In a statement released Monday, the university said it is “continuing to work with law enforcement agencies in their ongoing investigation.”

Parents… stay in touch with your college bound students, the devil coupled with tragedy is likely to strike anywhere.
