The ReadyWriter

The talk show host was detained at a Milwaukee airport for having a marijuana pipe in his possession.

Wisconsin authorities say former talk show host and medical marijuana activist Montel Williams has been cited for possession of drug paraphernalia at the General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee.

Montel Williams paid the $484 citation and was released to continue his travel.

The Milwaukee County sheriff’s office says the Transportation Security Administration found Williams had a pipe commonly used for marijuana as he passed through a security checkpoint Tuesday.

Williams said he uses marijuana to relieve chronic pain caused by multiple sclerosis that he was diagnosed with in 1999. The 54-year-old has since became an activist pushing for medical marijuana laws after being stopped at a Detroit airport years ago for carrying drug paraphernalia.

Thanks to my mom for the story tip. 🙂

For sexy actress Vivica A. Fox, who got engaged over the holidays to her 27-year-old concert promoter boyfriend, Omar “Slim” White asked for Vivica’s hand in marriage with an eight-karat rock while the two were staying at the Ritz Carlton hotel on Miami Beach.

Although Vivica’s rep has confirmed the engagement, she has not commented directly to the media as of yet.

Fox told ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ in December that she and Atlanta native White are hoping to have a baby in 2011 and that she “waited on God to send her a good man, and he’s a good Southern man.”

Yeah there’s nothing like those southern men!!! Their minds are usually made up concerning marriage and quick!!

 The actress, whose films include ‘Kill Bill: Vol. 1’ and ‘Juwanna Mann,’ also made headlines in 2003 for dating rapper 50 Cent.

“Why Are Birds And Fish Dying In Arkansas?”

The ReadyWriter

Everyone’s talking about the thousands of fish and fowl that are turning up dead in two small towns in Arkansas.

Like a scene out of Hitchcock’s classic movie ‘The Birds,’ 5,000 dead birds literally dropped out of the sky just before midnight on New Year’s Eve in Beebe, Arkansas.

Is this a sign of Biblical proportions?

Others say fireworks could be the culprit.

That’s not all: there’s the 100,000 dead fish that floated to the surface of the Arkansas River near a town called Ozark last week.

Certainly such a massive fish kill couldn’t be the result of hail or fireworks. And even if it was — as some experts call it, “a stress event,” how weird is it that the birds and fish all died in the same geographical area?

Treacherous storms, lashing winds and low visibility, dumped about a foot of snow on the East Coast yesterday. Leaving thousands of airline, rail and bus passengers stranded.

The blizzard conditions wreaked havoc on travelers from the Carolina’s to Maine and forced the suspension of operations at some of the nations busiest airports.

Airlines are scrambling to rebook passengers of thousand cancelled flights but don’t except to resume service until later today and not completely until Friday.

I’ve received many emails and phone calls informing me that the Governor of New Jersey has declared New Jersey “A state of emergency”. States of emergency have been declared in North Carolina, Virginia, Maine and Massachusetts as well.

Thank God I don’t have to worry about that until Sunday. 🙂 So if this post pertains to you, please stay safe.

Thanks to loyal CEO Blog reader Ebony for the photo.
