Rapper 50 Cent reportedly hospitalized with appendicitis

Yesterday on social networking website Twitter.com, boxing champ Floyd Mayweather sent out a tweet alerting his millions of followers that close friend, rapper 50 Cent, was hospitalized with a serious illness.

A confidential source inside Fiddy’s camps tells Sandrarose.com that the “Get Rich Or Die Trying” rapper is suffering from a wicked case of appendicitis — a painful, sometimes deadly, infection of the appendix. 50 Cent tweeted that he was going into surgery yesterday.

Mayweather, who was in Atlanta earlier this week, followed up with a tweet saying his friend had a stomach virus. But a stomach virus usually doesn’t require hospitalization or surgery.

Barack, Michelle Obama Talked Divorce

In 2009, one year after Barack Obama was elected president in a landslide victory, I posted these images of the president and the first lady Michelle Obama together. Body language enthusiasts can clearly see the involuntary signals that Michelle was sending at the time. Her closed body position clearly indicates some discord between the two. But when I pointed the signals out to my readers back then, they scoffed at me.

According to author Edward Klein, whose new book “The Amatuer” is about to hit store shelves, the Obamas once talked divorce.

Pastor Marvin Winans Assaulted and Carjacked in Detroit (Video)

Pastor Marvin Winans, who spoke at Whitney Houston’s funeral, was robbed and car jacked in Detroit this afternoon.

The shameful incident ocurred at a Citgo Gas Station at Linwood and Davison in Detroit. Winans, who was not seriously injured, said he went into the gas station to pay for his gas when he saw 10 young men milling around inside. “When I walked in I said this is not a good situation,” Winans told a local ABC affiliate.

He said 4 of the young men followed him outside to the pump where he was assaulted by the youths who stole his purple Infiniti QX56 SUV with license plate 0DRT73.

Detroit Police are searching for the suspects. Winans, 54, suffered a cut on his hand and the youths ripped his pants off of him. “I was indecently exposed,” said Winans, who described the incident as “quite savage.”

Winans said he didn’t think the youths knew who he was, “and if they did, it didn’t make much difference.”

“I’m not going to be afraid of us.. of our sons,” he said.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker sort of comes out of the closet

Newark Mayor Cory Booker is an anomaly; at 43, he holds a prestigious job, makes a ton of money, but he is chronically single.

In 2012, a handsome man who is still single after the age of 40 is almost unheard of.

Mr. Booker has been the subject of rampant ghey rumors for years now. In a new interview by Obie Brook for EBONY magazine, Mayor Booker adds fuel to the rumors by balking at the mere mention of dating ladies.

EBONY: Forgive me, I have to ask this question because too many ladies out there would kill me if I didn’t: are you hoping to settle down and start a family in the near future?

CORY BOOKER: [Laughs] What “ladies”? Did my mother put you up to this? [Laughs] I just I think everybody wants to have that settled life and even God wants us to “have life and have it more abundantly.” Everybody wants to find their soul mate and I’m no different. That’s definitely what I want in the future.

Booker goes on to say he is looking for a “soul mate” to settle down with — not necessarily a female.

EBONY: Last year you mentioned being too busy to date. Have you found
that soul mate yet or are you still looking?

CORY BOOKER: Still looking for that soul mate.
