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.
Evelyn Lozada Does Care What You Think
Unlike most narcissists, BBQ Wives star Evelyn Lozada cares what you think about her.
She’s extremely upset that bloggers have stopped believing her carefully constructed web of lies.
She’s fighting mad that the truth has been revealed about her fake relationship with NFL’s Chad Ochocinco.
She’s angry with you bloggers, and she’s not going to take it any more!
So Evelyn took to her Twitter page yesterday to clear up rumors about her dating Terrell Owens (like anybody cares) — and to do a little kissing up to the blogs who happily print her BS lies.
Basketball Wives LA: Blather, rinse, repeat
For those who don’t know: “blather” means to ramble on endlessly without saying much at all. That pretty much sums up the cast that Shaunie O’Neal and her producers assembled for the Basketball Wives spin-off, Basketball Wives Los Angeles.
The season premiere aired last night and quickly became the subject of scorn, ridicule and contempt on Twitter.com. Of course, minutes after they meet, a fight breaks out inside — where else — a nice restaurant. Nothing we didn’t expect from the original BBW.
The “extras” who are dining behind the chicks don’t even turn around to see what is going on — just like in the original BBW.
If Shaunie was going to hand these ladies the same script that she gave to the original Miami crew, she should have at least called it Basketball Wives part 2.
As mentioned before, BBW LA follows the same ghetto script as the original: pointless fighting, pointless arguing weave snatching, and mindless shopping sprees where they spend money that we don’t actually see. The only thing we didn’t see last night was water tossing, but that’s coming soon.
Just like in the original, this spin-off targets women who believe pretty much everything they see on TV (and on the blogs). Let’s pretend that we really believe Gloria Govan, fiancee of Matt Barnes, met cast member Draya Michelle (Chris Brown’s ex) in an acting class. 
DISASTER: Beyoncé’s 4 Bombs!
As predicted, Beyonce’s album, 4, has bombed spectacularly. The projected first week sales figures are in — and they are not good.
Beyonce will be #1 next week, but 4 will sell only 273K, her lowest 1st week sales since her debut album, Dangerously in Love, was released back in 2003. I’m still trying to get my confidential source on the phone to tell me what the mood is at Sony/Columbia records. I’ll let you know what he says.
From Hitsdailydouble.com:
Fresh off her triumph on closing night at Glastonbury, Columbia diva Beyonce’s 4 will debut at #1 next week on the HITS album chart with between 275-300k in first-week sales. Her previous album, ‘08’s multiple Grammy winning I Am… Sasha Fierce, debuted with 463k, but that was during the Q4 sales rush in November.
Those figures are based on one-day sales from those music retailers around the country not augmenting their income by selling illegal fireworks out of the back door.SoCal rapper Big Sean’s Finally Famous: The Album, his feature-length debut after a series of critically acclaimed “Finally Famous” mixtapes, is the first release under Kanye West’s new deal for his G.O.O.D. Music label, through Island Def Jam Music Group, and should do in the 90-95 range.
World Will End On May 21st Says ex-MTA Worker
A retired MTA worker in New York is so confident the world will end next Saturday that he has spent $140,000 — his entire nest egg — on MTA advertising to assist his fellow New Yorkers in preparing for the rapture.
“I’m trying to warn people about what’s coming,” said 60-year-old Staten Island resident Robert Fitzpatrick, who retired from the MTA in 2006. “People who have an understanding [of end of times] have an obligation to warn everyone.”
“Global Earthquake! The Greatest Ever – Judgment Day: May 21,” the $50,000 – $90,000 ads literally shout from bus shelters, subway trains and subway platforms all around the city.
The Metro Transit Authority is happy to take his money, although critics wonder why the MTA is feeding into the May 21 hysteria.
“It’s an individual’s prerogative to spend their money as they see fit,” said MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz.
Fitzpatrick is a loyal follower of California evangelist Harold Camping, who used a complex mathematical formula to predict the exact date of Judgment Day when Jesus Christ returns to Earth to book Final passage for all believers, and non-believers.
Camping also predicted a previous Judgment Day — on Sept. 6, 1994. But that was just a dry run.
“It’ll start just before midnight [May 21st], Jerusalem time: It’ll be instantaneous and global,” said Fitzpatrick. “There are too many scriptures talking about ‘sudden destruction.’”

218 Killed As Deadly Tornados Tear Through the South
218 people are reported dead, including 128 killed in Alabama and 11 dead in Georgia, as massive tornados ripped through the south yesterday.
Jabriel Branch, (pictured right) of McComb, Mississippi, died when a tree crashed through the roof of her family home last night.
Rescue workers are still searching through rubble for survivors in the northwest corner of Georgia, which was the hardest hit. 7 people were reported killed in Catoosa County in north GA. Two people are reported dead in Spalding County, south of Atlanta.
So far GEMA is reporting only 11 people dead in Georgia. GEMA spokesman Chrystal Paulk-Buchanan said the death toll is expected to climb throughout the day. 30 injured people have been taken to area hospitals.
Severe thunderstorms moved through the area south of Atlanta last night knocking down trees and power lines and leaving about 1,500 Georgia Power customers in the dark. Luckily, the storms spared metro Atlanta.
“There’s really no explanation,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Alex Gibbs of why the storms skipped Atlanta. “It’s just the way the storms set up.”
Sgt. Joe Peavy of Spalding County and his 11-year-old daughter are counting their blessings this morning. They were taken to an area hospital after a tornado struck their home just off of highway 92.
“The last I heard they were doing OK, but his house is gone, his patrol car is crushed,” Spalding Sheriff’s Capt. Tony Ranieri told the Atlanta Journal Constitution. “All we know is that when the tornado hit, it apparently sucked the 11-year-old girl out the bedroom window along with her bed and everything else. It was very fortunate [that she survived]. I wish everybody would have come out that way because we did have two fatalities.”
Gov. Nathan Deal declared a state of emergency covering Floyd, Dade, Catoosa and Walker counties in north Georgia. The list is expected to grow as storms continue to push through the south today.
A tornado watch and flash flood watches are still in effect for the D.C., Maryland and Virginia areas until 3pm today.

Beyoncé and Jay Z step out in Paris for the first time since his medical mishap
Beyoncé and her aging rapper hubby, Jay Z, 41, stepped out in Paris together for the first time since his embarrassing medical mishap of a very intimate nature was caught on film last week.
I’m told that Jay Z consulted with his physicians back home who plan to adjust his meds to curb the frequency of his embarrassing mishaps. But I don’t know that for sure, so please don’t quote me on that.
Doesn’t Beyoncé look a little odd to you? I can’t quite put my finger on it. It’s more than just the bleaching, there’s something about her demeanor that looks weird in a Stepford Wives sort of way.
I heard from a few female acquaintances this weekend whose husbands also experienced Jay Z’s, er, problem. I never hear from these chicks unless they read something on my blog. Anyway, one acquaintance said to me, “I don’t think my husband is taking Viagra, but how would I know that for sure?”
