Rihanna, Behind the Scenes of “We Found Love”
According to our Def Jam source, the music video for Rihanna’s latest single, “We Found Love“, drops this week. That should be exciting news for Rihanna’s Navy. Over the weekend, Rihanna tweeted a behind-the-scenes video for “We Found Love”.
She tweeted:
“We’ve never done a video like this before. This is probably one of the deepest videos I’ve ever done. #WeFoundLove. Its all about love and love being like a drug, you definitely get that from this. #WeFoundLove. The good feeling of love and the dangers of it. That’s what this video is about. #WeFoundLove #UNLOCKED http://on.fb.me/qytYE2
We find it interesting that Rihanna likens love to a drug, especially since we covered addictive personalities and the brain drug Dopamine extensively in our Medical Minutes. Dopamine is responsible for the highs and lows that we feel when we think we’re in love. Read more on Dopamine and addictive personalities here and here.
She also cleared up the rumor that she was back with ex-boyfriend, Matt Kemp, after pics surfaced of the two together in London last weekend. In response to an article in Sister2Sister magazine, Rihanna tweeted: “We’re friends lover. Plz.”
Mark Your Calendars: The Rapture is Coming Oct. 21
Apparently, May 21st was just another dry run as the predicted day of the Rapture came and went without much fanfare. But according to fire and brimstone radio preacher Harold Camping, who has predicted the last 3 Raptures — Oct. 21st is the real Judgment Day.
In an announcement on his Family Radio Network website, Harold Camping stands by his earlier predictions that the world will end on Friday, Oct. 21. Originally, Camping had predicted hourly earthquakes and God’s judgment on May 21, to be followed by months of torment on Earth for those individuals left behind. Using numerical codes extracted from the Bible, Camping set the date for the end of everything for Oct. 21. [Source]
According to Camping, there were earthquakes on May 21st — only instead of shaking the Earth, God shook mankind “with fear,” he wrote in a post titled “What Happened on May 21?”
Only a few Souls left their earthly possessions (and their dogs) during the previous day of Atonement.
The last time Camping predicted the 2nd Coming of Christ, the media captured the fervent preparations all over the world. But it was not all fun and games as one innocent child may have lost his life due to Camping’s prediction.
Julianne McCrery, 42, of Texas, apparently suffocated her 6-year-old son, Camden Pierce Hughes, before driving to Maine and dumping his body in a ravine. The boy’s death sparked rampant speculation that McCrery, a bible thumping religious zealot, sacrificed her son in preparation for the rapture.
Lawyers drop 3 of Bishop Eddie Long’s accusers
The big time lawyer for three of Bishop Eddie Long’s accusers has dropped her clients after they violated their confidentiality agreement in the sexual misconduct lawsuit.
BJ Bernstein dropped 3 of the 5 accusers because she said continuing to represent them was “a potential conflict of interest since Bishop Long’s attorneys have now filed a demand to recover damages in the case.”
According to Fox 5 News, Bishop Long’s attorneys filed a notification with the American Arbitration Association seeking to recover “not less than $900,000,” — $300,000 per violation by his accusers Jamal Paris, Spencer LaGrande and cross dresser Centino Kemp.
Sources tell Fox 5 News that Bishop Long’s attorneys are now demanding arbitration because the men “intentionally violated their settlement agreement in other media interviews and on Twitter.”
Paris and LaGrande recently sat down for several media interviews, while Kemp blasted Bishop Long in a series of “tweet” rants on his Twitter.com page two months ago.
According to Fox 5, Long’s lawyers argue that back in August Kemp tweeted “I got f***ed by the Devil Himself” and “I was literally your hooker.” In a separate tweet that he directed to @BishopEddieLong’s Twitter account, he wrote “why that’s all i want to no”

The beating ended when a male co-worker wrestled the metal rod out of McIntosh’s hands.
