Donald Trump Congratulates Obama… On Twitter.com
In a well-meaning gesture that was probably meant to sooth anger over his racist rhetoric, presidential hopeful Donald Trump congratulated U.S. President Barack Obama for killing 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden.
Mr. Trump, who was roasted by Obama at the White House Correspondents’ dinner, took to his Twitter page last night and tweeted:
I want to personally congratulate President Obama and the men women of the Armed Forces for a job very well done. I am so proud to see Americans standing shoulder to shoulder, waving the American flag in celebration of this great victory.
We should spend the next several days not debating party politics, but in remembrance of those who lost their lives on 9/11 and those fighting for our freedom. God Bless America.
Celebs Out & About: Mary J Blige, Jennifer Hudson, Lala Vazquez, Michelle Rodriguez
All those stories you heard about R&B singer divorcing her hubby Kendu Isaacs were just that — stories. Don’t believe everything you read on the blogs. The happy couple attended a special concert honoring Mary J Blige and the FFAWN (Foundation For the Advancement of Women Now) scholarship fund at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC last night.
Media personality Lala Vazquez-Anthony attended the Foundation For the Advancement of Women Now (“FFAWN”) and Elle Magazine 2nd Annual Mary J. Blige Honors Concert to benefit FFAWN’s Scholarship Fund, held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC last night.
Also attending the special event were singers Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera, Corrine BaileyRae, Jill Scott, actresses Kerry Washington, Ellen Pomeo, and her husband Chris Ivey; actress Evan Rachel Wood (not pictured) and more.
Love comes in all shapes and sizes: Lesbian actress Michelle Rodriguez flagged a cab with her unidentified lover in downtown NYC today. Her girlfriend has never been fat, but she’s looking extra crackish in these pictures. I guess the toothpick look is in these days. Lindsay Lohan’s ex, Samantha Ronson, isn’t much bigger than this chick.

Report: Bin Laden Buried at Sea
In accordance with strict Islamic traditions, the body of Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was wrapped and buried at sea around 3:00 a.m. Eastern time this morning, within 24 hours of his death. The 9/11 mastermind was positively identified via autopsy and DNA forensics.
Bin Laden was killed in a shootout with an elite group of Navy seals who landed their helicopters inside his fortified $1 million compound in Abbottobad, Pakistan, near Islamabad, early Sunday morning.
According to multiple news outlets, Navy seals stormed bin Laden’s bedroom and executed him with a single gunshot to the head. The high powered round blew off part of his skull and face, leaving him “unrecognizable.” There are reports that one of his sons was killed with him.
There are also reports that bin Laden was ordered killed — not captured — by U.S. President Barack Obama.

After years of roughing it in cold, musty caves in Tora Bora, Afghanistan, bin Laden moved across the Afghan border into what was described as a million dollar “luxury compound” on the outskirts of Aboottabad, in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The mansion, which was built to Osama’s specifications, had no internet service or telephone service. It was built near a Pakistan military academy. The compound was ringed by 12-18 foot walls topped with barbed wire. Armed patrols guarded the property day and night.
According to the NY Times, and other news outlets, construction on the mansion began in 2005. It’s location was known to U.S intelligence officials 4 years ago (in 2007), when George Bush was still in office.
Bin Laden lived there in relative comfort with his youngest wife and their children for years.

OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD
In what is being called the biggest news since September 11, and a turning point in the global war on terrorism, U.S. President Barack Obama announced that the 9/11 mastermind, Osama Bin Laden, is dead.
According to multiple news organizations, the United States has the dead body of Osama Bin Laden in its custody. CNN reports that the U.S. had a sample of Bin Laden’s DNA on ice for just this pivotal moment in history.
Some reporters knew about this critical development all day, but media organizations kept the news under wraps until the body was positively identified.
Obama requested network air time for the 10 p.m. hour on Sunday night to make the stunning announcement. Coincidentally, that time fell during the broadcast of Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” on NBC. The network interrupted its programming just as Trump was deciding who to fire.
Two American presidents before Obama had tried and failed to capture and/or kill Bin Laden. It was 8 years ago today that president George Bush declared the Iraq war “mission accomplished.”
But 4,000 U.S. fatalities later in Iraq, Bin Laden still eluded capture — until today.
American forces are expected to release a picture of Osama Bin Laden’s dead body so that the Arab world has no doubt that the leader of Al Qaeda is dead.
Obama’s Brilliant Revenge?
According to political blogger, SpaceyG, U.S. President Barack Obama’s roast of presidential hopeful Donald Trump at the White House correspondents dinner last night, was nothing less than “brilliant”.
But what on earth was going on with the First lady Michelle Obama’s hair?

Celeb Style: Tameka “Tiny” Harris
Last night, former Xscape singer, Tiny Harris, who goes by the username @TinyMajorMama on Twitter.com, posted this Twitpic of herself rocking a new t-shirt line by rising clothing designer, and her longtime friend, Nikki Nicole Dillard.
Tiny’s t-shirt reads “Stay in Your LANE, HOE.”
Some of you may recall t-shirt designer Nikki Nicole as my 2008 Jump Off of The Year Award recipient. At the time I wrote “You don’t know her, but she’s on the come up.” Do I know how to pick ‘em or what?
Prior to being named Sandrarose.com’s 2008 Jump Off of The Year, Nikki and Tiny (and T.I. for that matter) were inseparable on road trips. But in the aftermath of my post, Nikki was unceremoniously dumped by the couple, and she was replaced on road trips by Tiny’s other bosom buddy, Vanity.
I won’t delve any further into their past personal lives, but let’s suffice it to say that Nikki recovered quickly and parlayed her sudden fame into several successful business ventures.
If you’re wondering if Nikki ever thanked me for that early career boost, the answer to that question would be “no.”
