Former High School Star Deserves A Shot at NFL Future…

The ReadyWriter

Pictured above is Brian Banks and he’s crying as his kidnap and rape conviction is dismissed yesterday in a Long Beach, California courtroom.

Brian’s story started ten years ago, he was a high school football star in Long Beach, Calif., heading for a full scholarship at powerhouse University of Southern California when he was falsely accused of rape and kidnap. The accusations ruined all of Brian’s potential NFL dreams.

But after spending ten years in a California prison, Brian’s accuser “friended him on Facebook” with a very strange request to let “bygones be bygones”. So with the help of a private investigator, Brian’s accuser was recorded admitting she made the whole (rape and kidnapping) thing up and was reluctant to come forward because of a 1.5 million dollar settlement she had reached with the school district.

But with the help of the Innocence Project, Banks used the evidence to be exonerated and as of yesterday (Thursday May 24, 2012) a prosecutor moved to have the case and his charges dismissed.

Having lost 10 years of life that Brian can’t possibly get back, he’s hoping now for an NFL career and damn well deserve it.

But what do you think should happen to Brian Bank’s accuser? A women who so conveniently lied and deterred his life and dreams of a promising NFL career. A woman who so nonchalantly “befriended Brian on Facebook” as if he hadn’t suffered and lived ten years behind bars because of her LIE!!!!!

I hope and pray charges are brought against her, and she is made to pay back every penny she was awarded for lying on an innocent young man.

There is Something ‘Very Off’ About Bobbi Kristina Brown!

The ReadyWriter

It was an emotional night for Bobbi Kristina Brown at Sunday’s Billboard Awards I’m sure, but this girl look a mess!!!!!

The only daughter of the late Whitney Houston broke down in tears during the musical tribute to her mother and fought back emotions as she accepted the Millennium Award on her mother’s behalf but what in the…was she wearing? Her hair is disheveled, her bra is showing and she look half high, she’s supposedly 19 years old but the girl look like she’s aged some years since her mother’s death. Bobbi Kristina just don’t look wholesome.

The tribute was underwhelming according to feedback on Twitter.com last night. Despite the pre-show hype indicating that Bobbi Kristina, a budding entertainer, would sing — she didn’t.

Bobbi Kristina shed tears during Jordin Sparks’ stirring performance of “I Will Always Love You.” Afterwards, Bobbi Kristina took to the stage with her aunt, Pat Houston and said:“I’m just blessed to have been in such an incredible woman’s life,” , her statement sounded very distant, almost like Whitney was a friend to her instead of her mother.

I hope the best for Whitney’s daughter because she seems incredibly vulnerable at this time in her life.

No More Melanie and Derwin? The Game Axes Their Characters

The ReadyWriter

The show has already gone to the toilet, now to top it off BET axes two of its central characters…

Tia Mowry confirmed on her Twitter page last night that she would not be returning for the next season of The Game. Pooch Hall will also not be back.

While they’re at it, they should axe Brandy (Chardonnay) and Coby Bell (Jason Pitts) characters as well. Their relationship is boring and the show no longer has substance.

Betty White Endorses Barack Obama for re-election!

The ReadyWriter

The 90-year-old “Golden Girl” very much favors President Obama for a second term.

Although White said she generally stays away from politics to avoid alienating any of her fans but said, she likes what Obama has done and “how he represents us.”

White continues to land starring roles and earn comedic kudos in a career that spans nearly three-quarters of a century. In 2010, the “Hot in Cleveland” star became the oldest person to host “Saturday Night Live,” an appearance that earned White her seventh Emmy.

Betty White is the latest in a series of celebrities to back the President.

More than 150 stars, including actors Robert Downey Jr., Tobey Maguire, Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal, Salma Hayek and Jack Black attended a $40,000-a-person fund-raiser for Obama at George Clooney’s Los Angeles mansion last Thursday.

For those of you who truly know me, knows…the Golden Girls is one of my favorite shows in syndication. 🙂

Star Jones Wants You to STOP Watching Basketball Wives…

The ReadyWriter

News flash for Star, I stopped watching the show long time ago. I could no longer stomach a group of petty, classless women fighting and degrading themselves on national television. And now, Star Jones is launching a campaign against it.

“It may be ‘comfortable’ to be quiet when women of color slap the crap out of each other & run across tables barefoot, but #ENOUGHisENOUGH.” “I’m about to put together a group of sisters to finally ‘tell the truth’ about the image of women of color in the media,” she said. 

Star made reference to a recent episode, where Jennifer Williams was slapped.  Williams has decided to file suit against those involved, rather than responding with additional violence.

“And the thought that the woman from #BBW who was smacked doesn’t have the RIGHT to file assault charges is LUDICROUS! You NEVER give up your right not to have your ‘person’ intentionally assaulted unless you are participating in an agreed physical activity,” Star went on to write.

Star then issued a call to other women with platforms to support her movement.

“I’m asking all my high-profile, platform having conscientious sisters who STAND FOR SOMETHING to just say #ENOUGHisENOUGH & call folk out! Be mad. But think about what I said. WE ARE BETTER than that. You’re either part of the problem or part of the solution.”

So here it is CEO family: will you STOP watching the show?
