Dear Miss Pearl,
I'm a 31 year old man. My parents were in a relationship until about five months after she got pregnant. After she had me, my father's family always said that I wasn't his child, despite the fact that I look just like all of them, and even have their green eyes and reddish hair (nobody in my family looks like that). From what my mom says, my father's sisters and mother never liked her, so they turned their back on me, and even though my dad used to see me every now and then, but it was nothing like it should have been.
By the time I was 6, he had disappeared for good when he moved to another town with his new wife. Every blue moon he would show up in town and I'd hear from my mom or someone in our family that they had seen him and, even though I would hope and pray that he would come by our house (we still lived in the same place), he never did.
When I was a teenager, I ran into this dude at a grocery store and he treated me like an old acquintance. He introduced me to his son, who was like 2 years younger than me and looked just like me, but he told him that he used to "date my mother a long time ago." I have never been a disrespectful child, but right there, I said "f#$k him! in front of everybody.
He threatened to "whip" me, and at that time, I wished he would so that I coiuild beat his ass for all the hurt he has caused me in my life. Now, I am 31 and his punk ass is sending messages through the same son I met that time in the grocery store that he wants to "see me". I told him to tell his father to kiss my ass, and he was pretty upset because he says that "our" dad is very sick.
Miss Pearl, I haven't seen this dude in 14 years, he never paid child support, never did anything for me, always denied me and now I'm supposed to go visit his sick ass so that he can feel better before he dies?
Is there any obligation on my part to go see this man?
Fatherless Son
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Fatherless Son,
Hell naw! Ain't no obligation for you to go see this man so that he can apologize in an attempt to get into "heaven". Of course, the Christian thing to do would be to go see his sorry ass and try to mend what's left of your relationship, just to have some closure, if nothing else. But you have no obligatory commitment to a man who had no commitment to you.
If you find it in your heart to go see him, then go, but if you can't find the peace withing yourself to forgive him right now, you don't have to. Deadbeat assed fathers are the one thing within the black community that I cannot tolerate. Black men would be in such a better place if they had fathers guiding them. The fact that so many black men are raising themselves is why so many of them get it wrong.
I have nothing but love for black men who are handling their business, and men like your father make my ass itch! You don't owe him shit! And, if your "brother" was there the time he introduced you as the "son" of a woman he dated, then he should have no problem understanding your stand.
Now, if I were you, I'd go just to tell him exactly how I've felt about being denied and ignored for 31 years - give his ass a piece of your mind, just to free yourself from the bondage that's been holding you down for so long.
I would hope that you would go for you, but if you don't - don't ever feel like you had an obligation because I don't believe that you do.

Man Says He Accidentally Shot Wife... While Having Sex (WTF?)
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio -- A Tri-State woman is in critical condition Wednesday after police say her husband shot her while they were having sex.
Timothy Havens, 38, told Springfield police he was reaching for something on the nightstand when the pistol went off, hitting his estranged wife Carolyn in the upper chest.
Carolyn Havens, 42, is being treated at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton.
This is isn't the first time there's been trouble for the Havens. Court documents showed Timothy served 60 days in jail for assaulting his wife and was ordered to go to anger management classes.
His arrest Tuesday for the weekend shooting was for violating a civil protection order that Carolyn had taken out against him earlier this year.
Bond was set at $75,000 after prosecutors asked for a high bond, "due to alleged prohibited contact between the parties (and) the suspicious nature of the circumstances surrounding (her injury)."

Man Answers Ad for Babysitter; Uses Child to Make Porno
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to answering an online advertisement for baby-sitting work and then using the client's child to make a pornographic video.
In a plea deal with federal prosecutors, Aaron Jay Lemon admitted Wednesday to producing the video. The 23-year-old from Little Canada also admitted to coercing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct.
The plea agreement says Lemon filmed the child in St. Paul after seeking the baby-sitting job through Craigslist. St. Paul police say the victim was a 2-year-old girl.
The U.S. attorney's office says the case was part of a project that encourages agencies to investigate the sexual exploitation of children over the Internet.
The office says Lemon faces a maximum of 30 years in prison.
Usher: What the hell's happening, man?
Ursha performed at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show and I have to admit that I wasn't impressed. What is it exactly, that has caused this brother to "decline" performance-wise, so quickly? I just don't get it. It's not like he took a ten year hiatus and tried to make a "comeback", it was only a couple of years in between albums, what the hell happened?
Sarah Palin Pi$$ed at Oprah?
Despite losing the election, Palin has been doing press all over the country, and Oprah wants a piece. Unfortunately for the talk show queen, Palin won't appear on her show.
Speaking to Extra TV, Oprah said she has invited the former Vice Presidential candidate on her show but she has declined.
Winfrey declared, “I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over... I went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin and instead she talked to Greta [Van Susteren]. She talked to Matt [Lauer]. She talked to Larry [King]. But she didn’t talk to me. But maybe she’ll talk to me now that she has a [multi-million dollar] book deal.”
When asked if Oprah will have Barack Obama on the show, she responded, “There’s always an open invitation for the president-elect and first lady.”
OK, I think Sarah is making a big mistake by not appearing on the show that kills all other shows, but at the same time, how can Oprah play victim when she had no problem putting Barack Obama on her show, supporting him publicly, and then refusing to have McCain or Palin on her show?
I'm not buying the fact that she had him on before he actually won the nomination because there is no doubt in my mind that she knew his "plans" when she invited him as a guest, what other reason would she have to bring a junior senator on her show?
Is it fair? I don't think so, but it's her show - and only Oprah will have to deal with the legions of fans she's lost as a result of her "shadyness".
And I don't want to hear shit from y'all because if Ellen Degeneres had brought on McCain and then after he announced his candidacy, refused to interview Barack, y'all would be on the opposite end of the spectrum.
"Eff" It Friday!
Alright, y'all. It's that time again. "Eff It" Friday. What got on your nerves this week? I'm still on the holiday "eff's":
- Eff the people who were so desperate for a sale that nobody seemed to give a shyt that they were trampling over a person to get to a gat damn sale!
- Eff Beyonce for putting out a double album and the first disc almost made me so depressed that I wanted to kill myself.
- Eff the second disc on Beyonce's album for being almost as bad as the first
- Eff my nephew God-baby for updating his Christmas list every other day
- Eff Wanja's mammy for puttin that bad wig on her head when she knew that shiny sateen shit was unbelievable in the first place
- Eff the fact that, no other president in the history of presidents has been turned into a novelty or caricature the way Barack Obama has. I mean, nut crackers, pot holders, fingernail files, bathroom towels... can we stop making a mockery of this man?
You Better Walk!
Remember the "Diva" from earlier this week who walked her little 8-year old ass off in a fashion show? Well, her name is DaVanna and here is a collage of videos of this baby, tearin' the runway up!
You better do it!
NeNe... I ain't never been evicted!
Desperate Housewives of Atlanta's NeNe Leakes writes a statement to Bravo denying that she's a "low-budget b$%tch" whose been evicted from her home.
In the statement, NeNe writes:
"The recent rumors alleging that my family faced an eviction are a huge misunderstanding and grossly inaccurate. I am truly blessed to enjoy a wonderful
life and lifestyle. We have indeed moved to another home, but we did so on our own free will. We live in an absolutely beautiful home and we are fortunate to be able to live in the place of our choice. Unfortunately, there are many families who are facing real foreclosures and real evictions. That is not and never was the case with us.
I know where we live and how we live, and for those blessings I am humbly thankful. It is disappointing that many members of the media have chosen to report gossip instead of news. Without wasting time on the details, the only thing I will say is that we were NOT evicted. Everybody knows that I like to be honest, real and upfront. If something was wrong, I would tell you!
Thank you for your well wishes. However, please know that my family continues to be
abundantly blessed, and that Miss NeNe has not skipped a beat!"
I loves me some NeNe, gawd knows ah do... but ain't no way in hell she wrote that statement, especially when she thought that if you take away two thirds, you still have half left.
It's alright NeNe boo boo. It happens to the best of us.
Paralyzed NBA Player in Therapy After Accident
RALEIGH, N.C. — Former NBA standout Rodney Rogers is beginning rehabilitation in Atlanta for a spinal cord injury he sustained in an all-terrain vehicle crash in North Carolina.
The Shepherd Center in Atlanta said Rogers arrived at the facility Wednesday to begin his recovery process. He was taken by air ambulance from Duke University Hospital in Durham.
The Shepherd Center specializes in rehabilitating people with spinal cord and brain injuries.
The North Carolina Highway Patrol said Rogers was four-wheeling in the woods in rural Vance County north of Raleigh on Saturday when he fell off the vehicle. Details of his injuries haven't been released.
A former Wake Forest star, Rogers spent 12 seasons in the NBA from 1993-2005 and won the league's Sixth Man Award in 2000 with the Phoenix Suns.

Man Introduces Drug Dealers When He was a College Student; Still Serving THREE Life Sentences
This is the first of three stories that look at the case of Clarence Aaron, a one-time college student whose involvement in a 1993 cocaine deal got him three life sentences in federal prison.
------------------------------------------------
Three life sentences, without parole.
- That's how long Calvin Smith — part of the notorious Murder Inc. drug gang which terrorized Washington, D.C., in the 1990s — will be in jail for the cold-blooded murder of three people and for dealing drugs.
- It's how long Erick John Llorance will be in jail for three holiday-season armed robberies and a shooting in Houston in 2007.
- It's how long high school shooter Michael Carneal will be in jail for murdering three girls and injuring five other students while they were standing with their youth prayer group outside Heath High School in Kentucky in 1997.
Three life sentences, without parole, is also how long Clarence Aaron will be in jail — because he introduced two drug dealers, so that one could buy cocaine from the other. It happened in 1993, when Aaron was 23 and a junior at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La.:
Aaron grew up in Mobile, Ala., where several of his high school acquaintances ran a drug ring. His grandfather, who had been paying to support him in school, had recently passed away when his high school football teammate, a drug dealer named Robert Hines, approached Aaron and asked if he knew where his boss, Marion Teano Watts, could score cocaine.
Aaron introduced them to a dealer in Louisiana, Gary Chisholm, who sold them 9 kilos of cocaine. A later attempt to buy 15 kilos was thwarted when the money was stolen. Aaron got $1,500 for introducing the dealers.
In January 1993, after discovering that his apartment in Baton Rouge had been searched by the FBI, Aaron turned himself in and was charged with conspiracy to possess a controlled substance with the intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute, and attempt to possess a controlled substance with intent to distribute.
He was released on bond and passed random drug tests for almost eight months.
He went on trial in August and was convicted on the three charges — possession, conspiracy and attempted possession — with the intent to distribute 24 kilos of crack cocaine. That was 15 years ago, when Aaron was 24. He has been in prison ever since. He's 39 years old now, and he will die in prison.
Aaron's five co-conspirators, including the drug ring's kingpin, Watts, were arrested before him and cut deals with federal prosecutors to testify against Aaron in exchange for reduced sentences.
"The entire testimony was based upon what is commonly called 'snitches' or cooperating individuals — people that have been arrested and prosecuted for drug crimes who were seeking to have their sentences reduced by cooperating," said lawyer Dennis Knizley, who defended Aaron at his trial in 1993.
"They were contending that Clarence was involved in drugs with them," Knizley said. "The biggest problem in using cooperating individuals is that, one, they have a strained motive to not be totally honest on the witness stand. Second, it is simply their words."
There was no physical evidence, no drugs, presented at Aaron's trial.
Watts, who testified he was "a major crack cocaine distributor" who had made more than a million dollars dealing drugs and had six people working for him, was sentenced to 14 years in exchange for his cooperation.
He served seven years and 10 months and was released on April 28, 2000.
Robert Hines, Aaron's childhood friend who asked him to set up the deal, got 10 years, but he served only four years and four months. Two others served less than five years.
Gary Chisholm, the Baton Rouge dealer, was also sentenced to life, but his sentence was reduced to 24 years, 4 months. His release is expected on April 25, 2014.
Aaron won't be released.
"Aaron was the lowest man on the totem pole and he got the worst sentence," said David Borden, executive director of Stop the Drug War, a Washington-based group that has pushed for Aaron's release.
On average, Aaron's co-conspirators, career drug dealers who knew better how to work the system, will spend about eight years in prison.
But Clarence Aaron, once a high school and college football player, a church-going member of the Masons, will grow old and die behind bars.
The system "does not function truly on facts and does not rank the level of the severity of criminal involvement top to bottom [when dealing] with people," Borden said. "Their sentences present priorities not equal to the moral truth of the situation."
Aaron's attempts to get out of prison have all been unsuccessful.
Congress passed a "safety valve" one year after Aaron was sentenced that exempted first-time non-violent offenders from being punished according to mandatory sentencing guidelines. The law was not retroactive.
His 1996 appeal failed, as have several bids to have his sentence reduced.
His only hope now is that a president will commute his sentence.
Aaron petitioned President Bush for clemency, asking him to commute his sentence and set him free. If Bush decides to do so, Aaron will have served 15 years, more than double that of the Mobile crack ring's kingpin.

Thursday, December 4th - Dear Miss Pearl...
Dear Miss Pearl,
My boyfriend and I have been together since college (we're both 28). I love him deeply and I believe he feels the same way. In college we spent all of our time together and even though we didn't live together, he was always at my house or I was at his. We both graduated and now live together and have been doing so for the last 2 yrs. In the beginning, we did everything together, but recently, I don't see my boyfriend as much, not because he is not home, but because he is always playing video games or watching "movies" on the computer.
In the last week I saw my boyfriend for a total of 8 hrs and that was when he took me out for dinner and ice cream on Saturday (keep in mind we live together and our work hours are the same). During the week, immediately after work he goes online and plays video games. Even after our dates/outings he immediately goes for his controllers to play the second we come home. The only way i get to spend time with him is if I cook and we sit down and eat together.
I love my boyfriend and we plan to get married but I can't see myself forever living with a MAN who is still playing video games religiously. I am also 2 months pregnant and am having second thoughts about staying in that house to be neglected by my boyfriend...it's fine for me but not my child.
What should I do Pearl...i've never been the type of woman to tell a man what to do and what not to do so I will not make my boyfriend choose between me and the games but I am lonely and don't want to start looking elsewhere for entertainment, if you know what I mean. Should I move out? An older female co worker told me I should be happy that my man is at home and not running the streets but it sucks knowing that your mate would rather be at home with the computer than spending time with you. On the other hand, I don't want him in my face all the damn time...i'm so confused, HELP!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Confused,
I agree that you should be happy to have a man at home, but at the same time, I understand the fact that you need companionship. Being in the same household, doesn't a relationship make - and your boyfriend needs to understand that.
As sad as it is, your problem is not uncommon, as many women have lost their husbands and boyfriends to the computer. Before the computer, it was the television. The Internet has just allowed that fascination with fantasy outside of the home a bit easier to access.
Sometimes there are things going on internally that causes people to become addicted to the fantasy world that they create on the Internet, oftentimes it's not an addiction, just an oversight or the person may just be "bored", but more often than that, you have grown assed men who are so clueless and immature that their women can be butt assed naked, have one leg on the nite stand, and the other tucked behind her head, and he'll choose to "surf" the net instead of taggin' that ass!
Does your boyfriend know that he's addicted? See, the problem with you being pregnant and him emotionally absent from the home is that when you give birth, you can't expect it to get better! You're eventually going to resent him even further when he decides that the "pressures" of a crying baby have forced him to retreat to the safety of the world he's created on the Internet.
Are you ready to be a single parent because the father of your child is only there physically? I'll bet that if you ask him if he's addicted he'll say "no". Ask him to give up his the computer for 24 hours - that'll tell the tale.
If he can't do it, you need to do an Internet search on "gaming addiction" and find some therapy sessions that can ween his ass off of that "stuff". But, before you do that, you need to talk to your local minister as a couple because I can't see you making a husband out of someone that you're miserable with while he's just your boyfriend. You expect more from your husband, so what do you think will change for the better if you marry this man as he is now?

Kelly Rowland Finally Wising Up and Leaving 'Thew Knowles?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've heard this $%^t before, but the rumor that Kelly Rowland is about to switch management seems to be picking up steam. Natasha over at YBF is reporting that a source close to Kelly's camp has confirmed that a split could come as early as next week.
Actually, I can believe it this time because Mathew Knowles doesn't do anything without motive and, since I've been wondering why all of a sudden Solange and Beyonce' are in the media referring to Kelly as their "sister" again, it all makes sense.
"Thew" Knowles loves to put on a "united front" and, since he seems to be a control freak, the "family" spin would be his own way of "pimping" the media and still having some semblance of control.
Check out the quote here:
A source who works very closely with SONY/BMG tells us that Destiny’s Step-Child singer Kelly Rowland is set to change lanes when it comes to her her manager and career. Yeah we’ve heard this rumor before, but this time it seems quite legit. She was recently spotted meeting with 19 Entertainment’s Simon Fuller, who she is expected to announce as her new manager at the top of the year. We predict her current manager Mathew Knowles ain’t gonna like this.
Simon is the current manager of international acts like The Spice Girls, Annie Lennox, Carrie Underwood and David and Victoria Beckham. And Kelly may not be the superstar that her group member Beyonce is in the United States, but the singer is a mega-star in Europe where she has been playing arena-size venues with the biggest international pop acts.
Apparently 27-year-old Kelly is tired of playing the backseat to Beyonce who is also managed by Papa Knowles and intends to ax B’s daddy in the coming weeks.
The album Ms. Kelly was released in the U.S. in 2007 after being pushed back numerous times for Beyonce’s B’day CD. After Ms. Kelly came out, the CD sold underwhelming numbers.
In the U.K., the CD had an impressive debut and bolted up the charts after the song “Work” hit radio. The CD was re-released in the Europe and in Japan as, Ms. Kelly Deluxe, and was a chart-topper. The re-release was only available for digital download in the U.S.
Unfortunately, Kelly’s U.S. success doesn’t match her international career and before she ends up like U.S. singer Anastacia, who is an international superstar but doesn’t sell records in America, Kelly is ready for a management overhaul to get things together. ‘Bout damn time Kelly.
Paula Abdul: "My house brings too much drama!"
Paula Abdul is so freaked out by the stalker who took her life on her property that she’s decided to sell the house.
It’s been less than a month since Paula Goodspeed allegedly overdosed on pills in her car outside Paula’s home in Sherman Oaks. And it seems Paula only needed these three weeks to decide it was time to move out.
A rep for Abdul tells Us Weekly, "Paula simply feels she has outgrown her house, and given the recent public disclosure of her address, it seemed time that she move into a gated community."
Awww Dayum, not again! Alabama mayor arrested on bribery, fraud charges
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The mayor of Alabama's largest city was arrested Monday on charges of steering millions of dollars of bond work to a friend in exchange for more than $230,000 in bribes to pay for an expensive wardrobe and flashy jewelry.
The bond deals — which funded years of work on a substandard county sewer system — went sour and have helped push surrounding Jefferson County to the brink of filing the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.
The charges stem from Mayor Larry Langford's time on the Jefferson County Commission, where he served four years as president. He is accused of telling Wall Street giants JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and the now-bankrupt Lehman Brothers that they had to include his friend's investment banking firm on the deal if they wanted to handle the county's bond work, which was worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Langford, his friend Montgomery investment banker Bill Blount and lobbyist Al LaPierre were charged in a 101-count indictment. The charges include conspiracy, bribery, fraud, money laundering and filing false tax returns. All three have pleaded not guilty.
U.S. Attorney Alice Martin wouldn't say whether the firms were cooperating with the investigation, and the companies either didn't return a telephone message or declined comment.
Langford left the county commission after being elected mayor in a landslide last year, and he since has become known for a series of outside-the-box ideas aimed at trying to breathe new life into an old steel city-turned-medical hub.
He walked into a business meeting with two police officers carrying submachine guns, props meant to generate interest in his "top secret" finance plans and announced a longshot bid to bring the 2020 Olympics to Birmingham, even though the city doesn't even have a major sports franchise.
Critics of his grandiose ideas have called him "Mayor LaLa." However, the former promoter and television reporter has been unapologetic, saying it's his job to sell the city. Just last week he gave a $10,000 city consulting contract to a 13-year-old girl who appeared before council members to discuss improving parks.
Langford was arrested by FBI agents at a beer distributor where he also has a public relations job.
"I'm going to work today," Langford told reporters outside the courthouse after being freed on $50,000 bond. A Democrat, Langford has said for months that he expected to be indicted in what he referred to as a witchhunt by Republican prosecutors.
Langford, who was elected mayor in a nonpartisan vote, identifies himself as a a Democrat. Blount, 55, is a former state Democratic Party chairman and LaPierre, 58, is a former state Democratic Party executive director.
The federal prosecutor disputed the partisan allegations, claiming the public corruption was a "classic pay-to-play scheme." She said Langford, 62, needed money for "crushing personal debt" caused by lavish purchases.

Hundreds Pay Tribute to Fallen Michigan Rapper MC Breed
Hundreds gathered into the House of Prayer Missionary Baptist Church in Flint, MI on Tuesday (December 2) -- including hip-hop vets such as The D.O.C. and Jazze Pha -- to pay their respects for late rapper MC Breed.
The rapper died of kidney failure last month at a friend's home in Detroit at just 36 years old. He was recognized as the first rapper to enjoy commercial success from Flint and the Midwest in the early 90s.
According to local news outlet MLive.com, the more than 200 friends and family attended, wearing either leather jackets with his image or t-shirts baring the words "The Legacy Lives On ... Swagg Heavy," as they paid tribute at Breed's funeral.
Family remembered Breed as a pioneer.
"He's important to this city because he brought the Midwest to the map," his cousin Raheem Riley told the local ABC news. "As far as the rap game, he brought it to the map."
Later on during the service, the rapper's family was presented with a key to the city, letters from Mayor Don Williamson and the City Council, and the announcement that Flint would celebrate every Dec. 2 as MC Breed Day.
"It's major," Darryl Morris, Breed's manager, told MLive.com. "He would've been excited to see it, he does see it, he's probably tripping now. Flint meant a lot for him."
Throughout the rapper's 20+ year career, he worked with the likes of Tupac Shakur, E-40, Too Short and several others. He also released 13 albums, and was working on his 14th.
According to MLive.com, Breed had recorded his last song two days before his death. It's called "Everyday I Wait," and features The Outlawz

Bob Johnson to Start New "Urban" Network?
Broadcast & Cable magazine is reporting that Ion Media is talking with Black Entertainment Television founder Bob Johnson about starting a new network aimed at the urban community.
OK, is it just me, or did he totally "eff" up his chance at positive television aimed at African Americans the first time with BET? Who the hell wants to give Bob Johnson another opportunity to shame and degrade African America on a global stage?
He had his chance - aren't there any other people out there with just as much experience, determination and capital as this man who had a chance to change the view of black folk for the greater good, when nobody else could do that - and he messed it up?
Damn his Steve Urkel lookin' ass!
Plaxico Burress' Teammate Likely to be Charged in Gun Case
Now that Plaxico Burress has been charged, the focus of New York cops is squarely on his teammate Antonio Pierce.
The linebacker's SUV was impounded by the NYPD yesterday to look for blood and gunpowder residue that might be inside, reports the New York Post. What's more, he didn't meet with cops for a second consecutive day, though his lawyer says he will.
Meanwhile, the doctor who treated Plax's bullet wound without calling the cops is Dr. Josyann Abisaab, who doesn't work directly for New York-Cornell Hospital but is affiliated with it. The Post reports she was summoned from home in the middle of the night to treat Burress.
