#PopeBenedictXVI suddenly RESIGNS! 1st to so so in 700 YEARS![details]

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 11:55 PM PST




Pope Benedict stunned the Roman Catholic Church on Monday when he announced he would stand down, the first pope to do so in 700 years, saying he no longer had the mental and physical strength to carry on.

Church officials tried to relay a climate of calm confidence in the running of a 2,000-year-old institution, but the decision could lead to uncertainty in a Church already besieged by scandal for covering up sexual abuse of children by priests.
The soft-spoken German, who always maintained that he never wanted to be pope, was an uncompromising conservative on social and theological issues, fighting what he regarded as the increasing secularization of society.

It remains to be seen whether his successor will continue such battles or do more to bend with the times.

Despite his firm opposition to tolerance of homosexual acts, his eight year reign saw gay marriage accepted in many countries. He has staunchly resisted allowing women to be ordained as priests, and opposed embryonic stem cell research, although he retreated slightly from the position that condoms could never be used to fight AIDS.

He repeatedly apologized for the Church's failure to root out child abuse by priests, but critics said he did too little and the efforts failed to stop a rapid decline in Church attendance in the West, especially in his native Europe.

In addition to child sexual abuse crises, his papacy saw the Church rocked by Muslim anger after he compared Islam to violence. Jews were upset over rehabilitation of a Holocaust denier. During a scandal over the Church's business dealings, his butler was accused of leaking his private papers.

In an announcement read to cardinals in Latin, the universal language of the Church, the 85-year-old said:
"Well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of St Peter ...

"As from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours (1900 GMT) the See of Rome, the See of St. Peter will be vacant and a conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is."

Benedict is expected to go into isolation for at least a while after his resignation. Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said Benedict did not intend to influence the decision of the cardinals in a secret conclave to elect a successor.

A new leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics could be elected as soon as Palm Sunday, on March 24, and be ready to take over by Easter a week later, Lombardi said.

So.. #KeyshiaCole TWITTER DISSES #MichelleWilliams AGAIN! [details]

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 03:13 PM PST


So apparently the 'Ain't Thru Yet' 'singer' Keyshia Cole, AIN'T through dissing Destiny Child's Michelle Williams.

Cole just recently has started another Twitter sparring match with Williams again.  You may remember her now INFAMOUS 'Super Bowl' tweet heard around SOCIAL MEDIA.  Now Cole is again PAWING and SCRATCHING for some relevance by voicing her OPINION again.

See what she had to say THIS TIME!!!


She took to Twitter to sound off yet again:
Gonna say this again! Michell spoke on me first. So it was open season to state my feelings on her. I always felt … tmi.me/JD5Bt—
Keyshia Cole Gibson (@KeyshiaCole) February 08, 2013
Sounds about right! Cause I didn't give a shyt what she thought about my soul train performance when she … tmi.me/JD4hz—
Keyshia Cole Gibson (@KeyshiaCole) February 08, 2013


Y'all still mad!? Shame! — Keyshia Cole Gibson (@KeyshiaCole) February 11, 2013

So apparently, according to Keyshia, Michelle 'SWUNG' first with remarks about her Soul Train Award performance, so Keyshia is on the WARPATH.


TWITTER and INSTAGRAM fans of Williams have ATTACKED Cole every which way but LOSE!


It's funny that she CHOSE Michelle Williams as her SCAPEGOAT. NUMEROUS OTHER CELEBS have remarked on Keyshia's talent or lack thereof.

Just recently the legendary JENNIFER HOLLIDAY remarked that Cole had "PITCH PROBLEMS". I don't see her lashing out at her.

So hopefully, if people STOP paying attention to COLE, she'll eventually GO AWAY like a BAD DREAM......


KEYSHIA COLE, REALLY??? GROW UP. GO SIT DOWN in the back seat of a BEAT UP PACER and RIDE OFF INTO THE SUNSET...no one would miss your VOCAL STYLINGS ONE BIT..... IJS.

Remembering the LIFE & LEGACY of #WhitneyHouston! [video]

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 09:45 AM PST




FOREVER WHITNEY!!!!!

We would be remiss if we did not feature the ONE, THE ONLY, the INCOMPARABLE Whitney Houston.  A year ago today we lost arguably one of the GREATEST voices in modern-day music history.  Today we are not celebrating the death of an icon, but the LIFE and legacy that she left behind for her legions of fans.  R.I.P. Whitney!!

WHITNEY--Revisited!

Jennifer Hudson gave a hauntingly moving rendition of Whitney Houston's , "I will always love you."  There are few words to describe this other than 'brilliant', 'touching' and 'moving'.  It seemed as if the torch was passed and Jennifer Hudson came out of the shadows as our generations next 'Whitney'.  She carried the 'light' well for our fallen angel.

'I Look To You' feat. R. Kelly


WHITNEY HOUSTON


We lost a treasure with the passing of 'The Voice', Whitney Houston.  Much of her later life was shrouded with drug abuse rumors and other tabloid fodder, but what could never be taken away from Houston was her undeniable talent!  She was a voice of the ages that will be missed, but her legacy will live on.  Let's go back to 1994 to The American Music Awards where Whitney gave one of her best performances.  Here she sang a medley consisting of ,'I Love you Porgy', "I have nothing", and 'I'm telling you'.  Pure magic on stage.  Take a look back....

I love you Porgy, I have nothing, and I am telling you -- from the 1994 AMA's
