What's up with the drama? I've personally seen Ne-Yo perform twice and he was sensational BOTH times.. The first time I literally left the venue DEAF due to the screaming girlies directly around me... Second time around I was more prepared, but then even the fools in the VIP section still act crazy...Just recently, Kelly's longtime publicist resigned, citing serious "lines being crossed" as the cause of the split. Somebody is a straight-up diva -- and it ain't Ne-Yo!
Hi all,This video was forwarded to me by my friend Lila.
I not only found the video shocking, but was also angry at myself that I as a black woman had never heard of Sara Baartman, and considering her trials happened in my hometown of London I was even more disgusted with myself. After further researching her story on the web, I felt I had to share my new found knowledge.
What happened to Sara could have easily happened to you or I, had we been born in a different time and place.
Below is a brief synopsis of Sara’s story, please view the video, listen to the narration, and if you don’t already know, get to know.

Sara is the short-name used these days for Saartjie Baartman, a Khoisan slave woman who at the tender age of 20 was taken from Cape Town to London and then on to Paris to be displayed naked in their streets and at their circuses like an animal her European audiences viewed her to be. Her story is a tearful and moving one. It is at once the story of an everyday woman, a human being, one of us, treated in the most grotesque ways, used as "scientific proof" of "European white superiority."
Her biography can be read HERE
The teenage hip-hop performer signed a national letter of intent to attend USC on Monday at a news conference held at a posh hotel near Beverly Hills.
"This is the most important thing I've had to do and hopefully it sends a message to kids across the country that education is more important than money," Miller said at the news conference. "Getting a college scholarship is more important than winning an American Music Award, and I plan to be the best student-athlete I can be at USC."
One recruiting service ranks Miller, a 6-0, 170-pounder, among the top 15 prep point guards in the country.

Model Sophie Anderton was entrapped by a News of the World reporter in an undercover sting offering sex for $24,000 a session. The clandestine journalist posed as a rich businessman.
The setup also included a call to her drug dealer, cocaine and photos of the lingerie model topless wearing only a G-string and Christian Louboutin stilettos spread out on a bed.
Anderton was featured on the cover of Maxim magazine and numerous underwear catalogues. The 30 year-old dark beauty also appeared in the British television series I'm A Celebrity.
She apparently wanted to earn some extra cash to pay for her recently purchased house. Since Anderton’s part-time licentious activities were reported she was dropped by tanning firm Fake Bake from a $200,000 a year contract.
Hmmm not really sure what to make of this, but the "sting" as they've been calling it paid off..
