Janet RETURNS to MTV with MJ Tribute THIS SUN!
According to www.Xemvanadams.com
It has NOW been reported that JANET JACKSON WILL TAKE THE STAGE at This Sunday’s 2009 MTV Video Music Awards!
Janet will perform an entire Song & Dance medly, dedicated to the life & times of her Brother, Pop Icon; Michael Jackson. Janet has been working alongside the likes of Major, Industry Choreographers who include Frank Gatson, Travis Payne & Wade Robson. Frank is best known for his collaborations alongside Beyonce & Usher, as Travis Payne is the man responsible for piecing together much of the dance routines that would have created Michael’s THIS IS IT tour. The entire dedication will consist of Janet, backed by a slew of 20 other dancers. Rehearsals have been vigorous, lasting between 10-15 hours per day.
THIS is the performance that’s going to resurrect Janet’s Career. Janet has NOT been allowed to perform on MTV since the 2004 Superbowl Fiasco, which in essence has hurt her appeal, sales and public notoriety. Janet is now being looked upon to carry the Jackson Legacy. I truly believe, in my heart, that this next album from Janet, will solidify her ICON status. Her best music stems from sadness and depression, i.e. 1997’s VELVET ROPE album. As Janet has FINALLY returned to strictly working alongside her Majestic Team of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Im xpecting a MAJOR come-back of sorts. EVERYONE is going to be interested in listening to the lyrics of her music, ESPECIALLY since she is also rumored to have split with long time boyfriend and music collaborater, Jermaine Dupree.

The Atlanta Police Department said people with guns were fighting in Piedmont Park at about 9 p.m. today causing hundreds of people to "stampede."
There were no initial reports of injuries and police said the scene was deemed safe after the crowd was dispersed. The park closes at 11 p.m. and most people were leaving the park at about 9:30 p.m.
Several arrests were made and two people was possibly maced, said APD LGBT liaison Officer Dani Lee Harris.
"The APD got a call about an unruly crowd at the park and responded to the scene. There were two Code 20s [use of mace] and several arrests were made, but it's not known yet how many," Harris said at about 10:15 p.m. "The crowd is dispersed and the scene is secure." She added there were no reports of any injuries.
Hundreds of people were gathered in the park today as part of an unofficial gathering of Black Gay Pride, with DJs playing music and numerous cookouts taking place. Sundays in the park is part of a long standing tradition at Black Gay Pride.
Ryan Lee, editor of David Atlanta magazine and senior reporter at Southern Voice, who was at the park tonight when the incident took place, said he heard no gunfire and police told him a fight broke out among a group of people who had guns. He said at about 9:30 p.m. the APD was attempting to clear out the park.
"There were people fighting with guns and that caused people to stampede," an APD officer told Lee at about 9:30 p.m. at the scene.
Earlier today, the park was filled with people dancing to music and picnicking as well as walking throughout the park.
"I like this crowd — I like coming to Pride because you can meet a lot of people from all around and you are able to be yourself," said Tee, 34, of Detroit, Mich., who was attending her first Black Gay Pride.
"I've been hearing about this party in the park for years. I've always heard this is the spot to be during Pride," she said.

Ravens Linebacker Speaks Out for Marriage Equality
Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo is for marriage equality!
It’s hard to find allies in the sporting world who will publicly speak out for the LGBT community. It’s not to say there aren’t plenty of straight allies who have LGBT friends and family members. However, outside pressures (from agents, sponsors, teammates, etc.) often keep support limited or muted.But there are always individuals impervious to outside pressures.

However, outside pressures (from agents, sponsors, teammates, etc.) often keep support limited or muted.But there are always individuals impervious to outside pressures.
The Baltimore Sun highlighted Ayanbadejo’s desire to do good for others. In college he co-founded an organization to help elementary school children. He protested against the UCLA administration for the declining number of African-Americans accepted for enrollment who weren’t athletes. And in April he wrote an op-ed for the Huffington Post regarding marriage equality:
“If Britney Spears can party it up in Vegas with one of her boys and go get married on a whim and annul her marriage the next day, why can’t a loving same sex couple tie the knot? How could our society grant more rights to a heterosexual one night stand wedding in Vegas than a gay couple that has been together for 3, 5, 10 years of true love?”
In closing he wrote:
“I think we will look back in 10, 20, 30 years and be amazed that gays and lesbians did not have the same rights as every one else. How did this ever happen in the land of the free and the home of the brave? Are we really free?”
Here’s to Ayanbadejo and others like him (Charles Barkley, Steve Young, etc) who are speaking out in support of the LGBT community. Let’s hope others in the locker room take his cue and follow suit.

Whitney Houston @ Good Morning America Taping
Here is video of Ms. Whitney Houston doin her thing at the taping of the Good Morning America Kickoff to their Fall series which you can see in its entirety tomorrow Wednesday Sept 2, at 7am.
After singing to the crowd gathered at Rumsey Playfied in Central Park, the songstress thanked her fans and told them ‘God Bless You’ repeatedly. Miss Whitney went on to say, ’You make me feel so good.’
Houston also apologized for occasional evidence of the wear and tear her voice has taken throughout the years, blaming her interview with Oprah for at least some of the squeaks. Whitney has already prerecorded her Interview and Oprah performances that are set to air on September 14th. Whitney also went on to explain, ‘When I’m talking, I should be singing.’ She admits that her chat with Oprah was ‘So Good.’
Whitney’s first selection was the Alicia Keys penned MILLION DOLLAR BILL followed by MY LOVE IS YOUR LOVE, I LOOK TO YOU and finally IM EVERY WOMAN. Unfortunately, in due part to her LOSS of VOICE, Whitney was unable to complete what was to be an 8 Track Set.
Regardless of the case Ms. Houston is Back and she is here to stay!

Wendy Williams Apologizes To Drag Queens
The Wendy Williams Show has issued a formal apology to drag performer Erickatoure Aviance, who was told that she would be removed from the audience if she tried to appear on camera.
According to The Advocate, Aviance was standing in line for the show when an executive told her that she was in violation of a “no-costumes” dress code policy. She was allowed to stay, but was moved to be seated out of camera view and was advised her that she would be asked to leave if she drew any attention to herself or tried to ask Wendy Williams (read our interview here, Wendy responds to criticism that she mocks the gay community) a question from the audience.
Aviance noted that she wasn’t even rocking the most outlandish of all audience members: “I was wearing a ponytail piece and a bang piece. It was much less hair than Wendy was wearing and, p.s., much less hair than any of the other black women in the audience. There were big blond bouffants, lots of church makeup, party dresses, blue mohawks — and I’m made to feel like some sort of clown? No, it definitely wasn’t about what I was wearing. It was because I was a man in a dress.”
They show tried to make nice with the following statement that Lonnie Burstein, executive vice president of programming and production for Debmar-Mercury (the company behind The Wendy Williams Show) issued to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation:
“Much of the success of The Wendy Williams Show is due to our incredibly diverse and colorful audience and we all agree that fashion is a true form of self expression. But in an attempt to explain and enforce our show’s dress code, I was not as sensitive as I could have been to Ericka, the LGBT community, or drag’s long history of being a target of discrimination. And for that, I sincerely apologize as it was never my intention to offend in any way.”
That’s a start, but hopefully Wendy checks her staff! As many times as Wendy has joked about being a drag queen herself (with her huge wigs and attention-grabbing fashions), there’s no reason why this sould’ve ever gone down on her show.

Two transgender women stabbed in broad daylight
Joshua Mack 21 Clinton,Md Died on Wednesday Aug 26 after being stabbed in DC pictured above.
Police say a double stabbing in broad daylight left one person dead and another injured in Northwest Washington on Wednesday.
Police say two people were stabbed in the 200 block of Q Street Northwest around 2:30 p.m. Officers found two transgender women in front of the building when they arrived. One of the victims, identified as twenty-one year old Joshua Mack from Clinton, Md., later died at a hospital.
The second victim remains hospitalized in stable condition.
The crime scene was an alarming sight for residents who live on Q Street. One neighbor told FOX 5 they saw the two victims running from their attacker, and that one of them collapsed on the sidewalk. That victim later died.
"He said he couldn't breathe, 'I can't breathe,'" said Frenzell Alexander, a neighbor. "He came down 4th street and was gasping for breath and was bleeding from his neck."
Late Wednesday, police announced that 21-year-old Joshua Mack of Clinton, Maryland was pronounced dead at Howard University Hospital just after 3 p.m. The second victim was taken to a local hospital and admitted in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries. Police are withholding the identity of the second victim, who was a witness to the murder.
The Metropolitan Police Department is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the killer.
Nano Boo, who sometimes used her birth name of Joshua Mack, lived in Clinton, Maryland. Detectives are unsure if gender or perceived sexual orientation was a factor in the murder and stabbing. But the stabbings occurred about two blocks "from the North Capitol Street offices of Transgender Health Empowerment [which] provides drop-in services to transgender people, including transgender youth."
There will be a candlelight vigil for the two trans victims tomorrow night at 6:30pm 209 Q ST NW. Washington DC.

Ted Kennedy lion of the Senate and fierce progressive advocate Died at 77
Andresflava honors the life and legacy of the Lion of the Senate, Edward M. Kennedy, 1932-2009. His loss is a serious blow to progressives in this country. In his honor, I pray that we mobilize to pass the upcoming legislation he championed.
Senator Edward Kennedy's death marks the twilight of one of America's most fabled political families, with no heirs to the Kennedy name poised to emerge with the same mix of gravitas, ambition and celebrity.
Kennedy, 77, one of the most effective lawmakers in U.S. history and the brother of assassinated President John F. Kennedy, died late on Tuesday after battling brain cancer.

Black Maryland Lesbian Couple Kicked out of Diner 4 Kissing
story courtesy of loldarian.com and Washington Blade
Aiyi'nah Ford and her partner Torian Brown got a side order of discrimination during an early morning visit last week to Tastee Diner in Silver Spring, Maryland. The couple tells Washington Blade that after they finished eating and paid, they waited at the counter to give the waitress her tip, and embraced. This simple display of affection and the subsequent reaction from the diner's manager prompted a sit-in protest Wednesday night by Ford & Brown along with dozens of same-sex couples.
From The Washington Blade:
Ford said a manager she identified only by the first name Paul, asked if they could "please take that outside." Ford asked Paul if he was serious, and he said that he was. Ford noted that a heterosexual couple was kissing at a nearby booth.
"He proceeded to say that this was a family establishment and that people are trying to eat, as though our embrace would make someone sick," Ford said.
She said the waitress followed the women outside after she received her tip and apologized, adding that the incident was embarrassing and that similar incidents have happened before.
"That was the icing on the cake," Ford said.
"It stops now"! Disrespect, discrimination, hatred, bigotry, will stop now and it will stop today or else they will not receive the buying power of the 15 million individuals who identify as lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, or intersex," says a defiant Ford to the media before the scheduled protest.
"And our 744 million dollars worth of buying power will no longer come to Tastee Diner anymore and I will show as much affection as I want and I encourage everyone else to do so tastefully and peacefully".
In an interview with NBC Washington restaurant manager Lisa Wilkes says the couple went further than simple affection and touched each other innapropriately. "The Tastee Diner is a family restaurant, and it doesn't matter if you're straight or if you're gay,' Wilkes said. 'If you start going beyond the point of kissing and things start to get a little X-rated, we're going to ask you to stop.'"

Controversial Journalist Sam Ferguson Shot Dead
Police are investigating the brazen shooting death of a Miami journalist who worked for Don Diva Magazine.
Samuel Ferguson, 47, was shot to death on Friday (August 14) when unknown assailants opened fire on his car, as he was driving along the Florida Turnpike.
Ferguson, who also went by the name of Samuel Silvasteen and was President of Don Diva, crashed his car into a median and was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to Don Diva founder Tiffany Chiles, Ferguson was hired nine months ago to help the street magazine gain a stronger footprint in the Southern Florida region.
"We are deeply saddened by this tragic and senseless incident," Chiles told AllHipHop.com. "Sam was not just the president of Don Diva South, he was a family friend for over 20 years. Sam was our brother. He was well respected and loved my many. He will be missed."
Ferguson aka “P Man Sam” found himself in the middle of controversy in October of 2008, as news that Rick Ross was once a correctional officer began to the Internet.
Ross, who had known Ferguson prior to his job with Don Diva, took Ferguson to his Carol City, Florida neighborhood for an interview, presumably for the magazine.
The rapper became angry with Ferguson over an interview with Hip-Hop Weekly and for a Q&A with Don Diva magazine titled “Would the Real Rick Ross Stand Up.”
“Ferguson is a liar, he’s an informant, he’s a rat, he’s a b***h,” Rick Ross said of Ferguson during their feud. “I hope he’s offended; get at me in the streets n***a you know how we play. This s**t about to get Deeper Than Rap.”
Police have no suspects in the shooting, but they seek a black car with clear tail light lenses.
