Woman Attempts To Steal Picture of Barack Obama
According to the Cincinatti Enquirer, a Wyoming woman broke into a home to steal a picture of Barack Obama. As she struggled with the home owner, her get away driver, Tamika Cornwell, 31, hit the gas and sped off without her.
The thief, Marla Anderson, 24, was arrested at the scene. Her get away driver was later apprehended. In addition to being an accomplice to a burglary, Cornwell was charged with child endangerment because her 3-year-old son was in the car.
I’m not as witty as David Letterman, but here’s my Top 5 reasons why Anderson did it:
-
5. She thought the house was on fire and she wanted to save Barack Obama’s pic
4. She heard Barack Obama’s voice in her head telling her to steal him and she replied, “Yes I Can!”
3. She thought she could pawn the pic for at least 10 bucks to score some weed
2. She thought it was her house and she wondered, “What is this Barack Obama picture doing on MY wall?”
1. She thought it was a picture of Will Smith

FanMAIL: Chrisette Michele Gives Back
R&B singer Chrisette Michele was in town this weekend to host her album release party at EROS and to promote her new CD Epiphany, which is the only CD that I paid cash for this year.
Loyal reader Scott L. writes:
Hi Sandra … I do some volunteer work for the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention and wanted to pass along the attached photo. Here’s a cutline if you need it:
Chrisette Michele visited Atlanta Saturday for a release party for her new album, Epiphany. She’s shown here with Joel Alvarado, policy director for G-CAPP, the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention. Chrisette is contributing vocals to a new public service announcement for gPOWER, a fundraising campaign for G-CAPP that launched May 6.
Celebs Out & About
R&B songstress Keyshia Cole belted out her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner during the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks Playoff Game 3 at the Philips Arena on Saturday (5/4). She tore it up and the crowd gave her a standing ovation. unlike the boos the Hawks received when they dropped another bomb at the Philips Arena in their 3rd straight loss to Lebron James. The Cavs will wrap the series up on their home floor in Cleveland tonight.
Speaking of Keyshia Cole, she attended her manager Manny Halley’s birthday bash at the Velvet Room last night. I’ll have those pics later courtesy of Prince Williams of ATLPICS.net. Prince was extremely busy this weekend covering, among other events, the wedding shower of my attorney Precious Anderson who found the man of her dreams!
Rappers Young Jeezy, T.I. and Nelly rooted for the Hawks who lost badly to the Cavs.
R&B Diva Monica posed with music mogul DeVyne Stephens at the Cavs vs Hawks game. Mo attended Frank Ski’s birthday bash this weekend, which I was not invited to. I knew about the bash only because I spotted Q of the group 112 who was picking up his wife Sharlinda and her twin sis Sabrina from Lenox Mall on Saturday. They were all dressed so beautifully like they were going to their Prom! When I asked where they were off to, they replied, “Frank’s birthday party.” I just knew they were talking about another Frank, and not my Frank Ski who is partially responsible for the overnight success of Sandrarose.com. Because either Frank, Tanya, JeNika or Fashion would have invited me. SO maybe my invite was lost in the mail?
Super producer Polow Da Don posed with rapper Nelly (he fell off didn’t he?) at the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks Playoff Game at the Philips Arena on Saturday.
Rapper Nelly always has the fly fresh kicks on. But he has nothing on V-103′s Greg Street who has the shoe game on lock!
Angela and Vanessa Simmons attended a LA Dodgers Game where Vanessa threw out the first pitch with a pink ball to celebrate Mother’s Day. MLB temporarily approved the use of the pink bats and balls (which they normally frown upon and impose a strict fine for) in support of the Susan G. Komen For the Cure cancer foundation. Angela and Vanessa held their heads up even as news of their brother Jo Jo’s drug arrest swept the country.

Jo Jo Simmons busted for smoking medical marijuana
Jo Jo Simmons, son of the venerable Rev. Run of “Run’s House” TV series, was arrested last week for possession of medical marijuana, damage to property and resisting arrest. It wasn’t so much the weed that earned him a future spot on The Smoking Gun‘s mugshot page — it was the resisting arrest part.
New York cops routinely look the other way when a person with celebrity status is caught with a little weed. It isn’t worth the paperwork to haul them in. Plus, celebs break the cops off something proper, and they tend to have that high quality sticky that the cops like.
According to the police report, Jo Jo crashed into two cars while trying to evade cops who approached his truck on Wadsworth Ave in Washington Heights as he was lighting up inside. Apparently, Jo Jo had just scored — I mean purchased — his weed which he uses for medicinal purposes just like every other rapper does.
Why don’t they just legalize weed and allow only potheads over age 21 to purchase it? The president smokes weed so it can’t be all that bad. Police resources shouldn’t be tied up chasing down every weed smoker in a city where potheads outnumber the rats.
Hold your head up Rev. Run! Your son’s arrest will provide a big boost to your ratings. Especially if the MTV cameras were rolling as the cops put the smack down on Jo Jo.

Obama Morphs into Hillary Clinton II
Make no mistake about it: Barack Obama is in over his head as president of these United States.
Politico.com dissects Barack Obama’s pre-election promises and discovers that he has morphed into the president that Hillary Clinton would have been had she not lost the election.
How ironic.
This country was determined not to elect a female for president (Sarah Palin) but we ended up with one anyway!
On the campaign trail, Obama belittled Sen. Hillary Clinton’s decision to defend the war by claiming he was the sole candidate to oppose the war. Clinton argued that Obama’s tight timeline to remove the troops from Iraq was unrealistic. She was right.
According to Politico.com:
Rather than withdraw all combat troops on a set timeline, Obama opted for a conditions-based withdrawal that will leave as many as 50,000 troops in the war zone at the end of 2011 — exactly the sort of drawdown he maligned Clinton for proposing.
Clinton also opposed Obama’s healthcare plans as both inadequate and ineffective. Both candidates proposed universal healthcare, but only Clinton’s healthcare plan included a mandate that all Americans be insured. Of course, Obama opposed the mandate because his puppeteers didn’t approve. Obama said Clinton’s plan would require “harsh, stiff penalties on those who don’t purchase it.”
Typically, Obama has now flip flopped on that issue. According to Politico.com, Obama is now moving toward Clinton’s position of a mandate.
His budget outline proposes a health care plan that “must put the United States on a clear path to cover all Americans.” That strongly suggests a mandate, since any volunteer system would see some opting out. As Ezra Klein reported in The American Prospect when the administration’s health care plan began to leak out, “Despite the controversy over the individual mandate in the campaign, [Obama’s team] will support it.”
Obama has always come across as a girly man who needs his wife’s (or daughter’s) approval for every decision he makes. Just like Michelle Obama wears the pants in their marriage, Hillary Clinton apparently wears the pants in the White House.

Talib Kweli & DJ Eque Ties One On?
From a press release:
Yesterday, at a private residence in Bel Air, Talib Kweli and DJ Eque tied the knot. They were surrounded by a very small group of friends who included Queen Latifah, Questlove, DJ Rashida, Adam Rodriguez (of CSI) and family. The reception took place outdoors underneath white tents where guests cooled off under the 90 degree weather with Hennessy Continentals (a drink that includes Hennessy VSOP, cranberry and pineapple juices). In the photo below and attached, the happy couple pose right before sitting down to eat an early dinner with their guests. Hennessy also gifted the glowing pair with a few bottles of Hennessy Paradis which retail at $500 a pop.
I would not be living up to my reputation as a hater if I didn’t point out how tacky this wedding photo is. Times must really be hard if the bills for Talib Kweli and DJ Eque’s wedding were written off by a liquor company. I thought certain things in life were sacred? It doesn’t matter if the wedding was free. I’m not posing for my wedding photos holding a bottle of hard liquor. It just ain’t right. Congrats to the happy couple though.
HuffPo: It’s Rihanna…
The Huffington Post has confirmed that the nekkid pics rocketing around the Internets are of our girl Rihanna.
The four shots that do not include Rihanna’s head in them include two of a bare bottom as seen reflected in a mirror, one of a dark lacquer-nailed hand squeezing a bottom and a photo of an undressed torso from a reflection in a mirror. One breast is pierced and pink Nike towel is flung over a shoulder hiding the other. READ MORE…
Speculation is that Chris Brown — or someone in his camp — leaked the pics online in retaliation after his ex-girlfriend Rihanna dumped his bitch azz.
Its typical for overly possessive, abusive men to make a bitch move like this once they no longer have the female under their total control. I’m glad that Rihanna now sees him for what he is.
By the way, the pics are all over the Internet. I chose not to post them since this is a family oriented blog. But they shouldn’t be too hard to find.
