More Tragedy: Chastity Turner Shot Dead While Washing Dog On Grandmother’s Porch

via CBS 2 Chicago

Two people are in custody Thursday in connection with Wednesday night’s drive-by slaying of a 9-year-old girl who was outside her grandmother’s house washing her dog when she was shot in the neck, according to a published report.

A rifle possibly linked to the crime has also been recovered, a police source said. Forensic tests are under way to see if it was the weapon used to kill Chastity Turner.

Speaking at an unrelated event late Thursday morning, police Supt. Jody Weis said as of 11 a.m., detectives were interviewing several people and had “very, very good leads.” At the time, he would not confirm that two people were in custody, or say whether a weapon had been recovered.

This is the world’s BIGGEST song EVER. This one took Mike off-the-wall and put him over-the-top. They say it’s THRILLER!

We grew up on BILLIE JEAN via Hot Traxx and the experience was UNREAL seeing this. The floor lighting up, the Smooth Criminal doing his jig, it was just unworldly.

Nobody on the planet was BAD as Mike at his height. In my heart he still reigns supreme as the best that has ever done it, minus everything out that will be thrown his way to tarnish a stellar legacy.

“I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. ForMichael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words,” he was quoted as saying.

“Divinity brought our souls together on The Wiz and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the 80’s. To this day, the music we created together on ’Off The Wall’,’Thriller’ and ’Bad’ is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all…talent, grace, professionalism and dedication.

“He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever.”

Damn, RIP to the legend. The Godfather James passed on the 25th and now Mike has joined that great big orchestra in the sky. We will always love the KING. Long Live the KING!

TMZ reports that Michael Jackson has been taken to UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles hospital by ambulance for cardiac arrest. Sources are stating that a 911 call was received from Jackson’s Holby Hills residence was placed at 12:21 PM Thursday afternoon.

Jackson’s father, Joe, told E! News that he’s aware of the emergency but didn’t have any details.

“I am in Las Vegas, but yes, people in Los Angeles called me and are with Michael and tell me he was taken to the hospital,” Jackson said. “His mother is on her way to the hospital now to check in on him.”

“I am not sure what’s wrong. I am waiting to hear back from them,” he added.

via AdWeek

NEW YORK May 2009 data from Nielsen Online show that people continue to spend more time on social networking and blog sites than ever before. Total minutes increased 82 percent year-over-year and the average time per person increased 67 percent year-over-year in May 2009.

Twitter.com was the fastest-growing Web brand in May 2009, increasing 1,448 percent year over year, from 1.2 million unique visitors in May 2008 to 18.2 million in 2009.

Despite being the fastest-growing brand year-over-year, Twitter’s month-over-month growth has begun to slow, increasing 7 percent from April.

The average time per person on Twitter increased 175 percent year-over-year, from 6 minutes and 19 seconds in May 2008 to 17 minutes and 21 seconds in May 2009. However, month-over-month growth was flat, decreasing 1 percent from April 2009.

White supremacist Hal Turner locked up for death threats against federal judges…

This guy should have been bagged along time ago. No way any person of another race would have gotten away with the threats and rants he spewed for years.

via Chicago Breaking News

Hal Turner, an occasional talk show host on internet radio and blogger, was arrested today by the FBI in his New Jersey home on charges he threatened to murder three federal appeals court judges in Chicago following their recent ruling upholding handgun bans.

According to the U.S. attorney’s office, postings on Turner’s web site included photos of the judges and addresses for them, with statements such as: “Let me be the first to say this plainly; These judges deserve to be killed.”

The three judges have long served on the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals: Frank Easterbrook, the current chief judge; and Richard Posner and William Bauer.

Turner, 47, was charged with threatening to assault and murder the three judges with intent to retaliate against them for performing their official duties. He is to appear in court tomorrow in U.S. District Court in Newark, N.J., but the charges were brought in Chicago, where the judges work.

Turner, known for his white supremacist views, has been on the radar of federal authorities before. In the wake of the murder of the husband and mother of U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow in 2005, Turner’s web site carried the courthouse addresses of appeals court judges who had ruled against white supremacist Matthew Hale in a civil case.

Air Jordan Spiz’ike “Bred”

via Highsnobiety

After taking somewhat of a hiatus, the Air Jordan Spiz’ike is back in one of the most classic Jordan colorways of all time. There are a few interesting design changes on this model as well, that bring this Spiz’ike even closer to the original Jordan offerings. Most notably, the “Spike” print on the heel and toe has been replaced with Jordan’s iconic elephant print. Judging by past Spiz’ike releases, this black, grey and red colorway is sure to be extremely popular when it drops.

The shoe is scheduled to release in February 2010, but for those of you who can’t wait osneaker.com claims they will soon have a size run in stock. Stay tuned for a closer look in the coming days.

Breaking News: Shaq goes for ring with Lebron in Cleveland

ESPN

The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Phoenix Suns have come to an agreement on a blockbuster trade that sends Shaquille O’Neal to Cleveland to team with LeBron James, according to sources.

The deal has been agreed to in principle and is expected to be finalized Thursday, according to sources.

Cleveland will send Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic to Phoenix for the future Hall of Famer. Sources said the Suns will also receive the 46th pick in Thursday’s NBA draft and $500,000.

The trade gives the Cavs a player they’ve coveted since February. With center Zydrunas Ilgauskas starting to break down, adding Shaq to the roster gives them a dominant force in the middle. The Cavs were obviously unhappy with their ability to defend Dwight Howard in the playoffs and bringing Shaq into the fold should help.

The Cavaliers were also in talks with New Orleans about obtaining Tyson Chandler. If they had not made the trade for O’Neal, they would have traded for Chandler, according to a source.

The Cavs felt O’Neal was the better option because he has just one year left on his contract, and will not eat up cap space that will enable them to pursue free agents such as Chris Bosh in next summer’s star-studded free agent class. Chandler, who has had injury problems the past two postseasons, has a player option for $12.7 million in 2010-2011 that he is likely to pick up.

Lil Jon Wins Award for his Signature Wine

via Baller Status

When Lil Jon announced the launch of his own wine company early last year, people were surprised, but it seems to be winning people over.

The rapper/producer recently took home an award from the Los Angeles International Wine and Spirits Competition. His 2006 Central Coast Chardonnay took a Silver Medal, and Jon was more than excited.

In all CAPS, an excited Jon tweeted about the win: “FOR ALL YALL SUKKAS THAT WERE HATING ON MY WINE CHECK THIS OUT!! WE WINNING AWARDS TWITT!!! GET U SOME.”

The Chardonnay that won contains “fruit from one of California’s finest Chardonnay growing regions,” according to the winery’s website. “These grapes are picked at optimum ripeness for inviting flavors while retaining the cool climate acidity. This wine can accompany cheeses, chicken, fish, and many other types of cuisine.”

The rapper’s venture is called the Little Jonathan Winery, which Jon says is “a little bit more upscale than regular ‘Lil Jon.’ … This is not no ghetto Boone’s Farm; this is some real wine.”

150 Black Britons return to Ghana to invest

via African News

One hundred and fifty Black Britons will return home to the West African country of Ghana for a two-week familiarization visit in some selected communities. They are also scheduled to engage in some business transactions, education, investments, cultural and historical tours.

The initiative is dubbed: “Back to our Roots” tour will open the minds of the Diasporas with culture, historical, business and investment opportunities that exist within the Africa continent. The project is under the auspices of London Elite Forum (LEF), BJ Production and Bubbles VIP based in the United Kingdom.

London Elite Forum is a collection of top London promoters, social and business entrepreneurs that are working together for the benefit of others. The Forum has come up with a three-year project aimed at bringing Africans from across the Diaspora back to their ancestral home – Gambia, Ghana and South Africa.

“Most Africans suffered from the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade many years ago, but others have the notion that the continent of Africa is their only true home hence the need for them to return with their experiences and skills gained from the West and Europe to assist development,” a statement from the Forum said.

The organizer of the project Erran Warden, Founder LEF told AfricaNews some British-born national and Diasporans are seeking an alternative place to establish themselves other than the United Kingdom, Europe and America but often do not have the know-how or contacts to fully explore overseas opportunities.

[Op-ED] Trans-Coon-ers. by Harry Allen

That Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which opens today, is a narrative and conceptual mess is neither surprising nor the greatest of its blames. That it is, at critical moments, visually incomprehensible—and this from someone who considered the faceted clatter of the first film’s shifting multiplanes, at moments, symphonic—is the least of its faults.

That it endorses crude racism, however, serving up, not one, but two near-buckdancing, shiftless Black stereotypes—the sambots, as one reviewer adeptly punned, Skids, top and above right, and his twin (get this), Mudflap—reveals not only how clearly insulated the white people who work at Paramount and for director Michael Bay appear to be in their racial supremacy, but how out of touch they must be with developing, changing American and world tastes in entertainment. (That’s without even getting into what will surely be Afrocentric outrage at key scenes of desecration.)

Here’s my prediction: Transformers: ROTF will do huge first-week numbers, based on awe-inspiring trailer footage, then rapidly descend in flames from orbit, as people share with friends that the film is a stinking, heaving pile of constipated rhinoceros feces.
