The ads proclaim, “Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness’ sake.” Naturally, the $40,000 holiday ad campaign has sparked a firestorm of controversy. A spokesman for the religious right appeared on Hannity & Colmes last […]

Kelly Rowland is still doing her thing over in England (my birthplace) where she attended the press conference for ‘Staying Alive’ 10th Anniversary on yesterday in Liverpool.

There was a time when Michael Jackson insisted his adopted children wear masks to protect their identity and preserve their childhood — or so Wacko Jacko would have the media believe.
In reality, Wacko Jacko has always used the children to garner press attention for himself. Yesterday, Jackson and his children, Prince Michael, 11, Paris, […]
