I am moved by this wonderfully executed documentary. Beyonce gave enough to let people know that she is human and that she hurts just like they do. She let her guards down to help empower other women to be independent. Beyonce is so enthused with life. When people watch this documentary they will realize, if they don't already know, that Beyonce has more stress in her life than any of them could imagine.
I truly respect B for being able to balance everything in her life and stay sane. The thing I love most is the faith Beyonce has. She speaks confident in everything he does and has given her. OnPointCeleb!
Please watch this Documentary it will really Empower you in a Beautiful way.
Also Oprah sits down with the singer and gets personal. OnPointCeleb!
The New Jersey rapper says he spent last summer binging on the
designer drug — which is a powdered form of MDMA, the main chemical in
Ecstacy — and barely made it out alive.
"I didn't see a problem with the fact that maybe five days would go by without sleeping," Budden told
a Fox affiliate in New Jersey. "I didn't see a problem with the fact
that maybe I was hallucinating at times. I didn't see a problem with the
fact that I just couldn't get up and walk sometimes."
The drug has been a fixture in clubs for more than a decade, but it
is seeing a surge in popularity after being shouted out in lyrics from
several artists, including Kanye West, Wale and Rihanna.
It's thought of as a "pure" form of Ecstacy, but as Budden's ordeal
illustrates, its addictive high can give way to troubling side effects,
including paranoia, sleep problems, tremors, blurred vision and more.
Responsible for thousands of emergency room visits each year, it also
has potential long-term effects, including liver, heart and kidney
failure, and even death. And some studies have found that it can cause
long-term damage to the brain.
"It just altered your thinking process dramatically and for a thinker
like myself that was like nothing I'd ever experienced before," says
the MC, who's third studio album, No Love Lost, was released this week.
He says he kicked the habit with the help of his loved ones, and
thinks it's important to speak up about his experience. "Now everyone is
speaking about Molly like it's the thing to do," he says. "I thought it
was important for somebody, anybody, to stand up and say, 'you know, I
did that, it's corny.' I'm just hoping that at the end of the day, it
won't be me versus the entire music industry when it comes to who a
13-year-old should listen to regarding drugs."
I'm glad that someone came out and spoke on the dangers. Molly is MDMA but just like every other drug it is most times laced with other substances like cocaine, bath soap, etc. I know everyone remembers in the 80's when cocaine was a huge problem. We don't want that to happen again but with Molly. To the youth no drug is cool being yourself is cool. OnPointLife!
Last night while watching American Idol when Lazaro Arbos began speaking tears came to my eyes. Lazaro has a stutter that he has had since he was 6 years old. He has gone through several therapy but never improved. He says, "“Speaking with a stutter is really hard. The things that normal people would think would be so easy became hard for me".
Lazaro sang "Bridge Over Troubled Water",which is one of my favorite songs, and he completely made me fall in love with it all over again. Lazaro has what it takes to be a star and I am rooting for him 100%. I wish him all the success in the world. OnPointLove!
Rihanna has donated $1.75 million to a hospital in Barbados in memory of her late grandmother.
Rihanna says the donation to buy three pieces of medical equipment was her way "giving back to Barbados." She made the comments during a Saturday ceremony with relatives at the island's Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The hospital's radiotherapy unit has been renamed the Clara Braithwaite Center for Oncology and Nuclear Medicine after Rihanna's grandmother, who died in June.
I love when I hear about celebz giving back to their community. Rihanna is n OnPointCeleb!
Rihanna donated a thousand sleeping bags to the New York Daily News'
relief drive. The newspaper delivered the sleeping bags to victims all over the
city, many of whom are still unable to return to their
homes.
Rihanna had a fundraising release party at the Jay-z 40/40 club in New York City. To attend the free event fans needed to bring things to donate to the relief efforts. The organizers asked people to bring coats and blankets, diapers, wipes, and cleaning supplies.
I'm so proud of Rihanna for giving back. This is something we need to see alot more celebrities being involed with...OnPoint!
Even though it was a very tensed night while watching
the votes come in, President Barack Obama was re-elected for a second
term last night. It all came down to that swing state of Ohio but
eventually President Obama claimed victory with 303 electoral votes,
while Mitt Romney had just 206. The election was also swayed this time
around by the Latino vote (the fastest growing minority group in
America) with President Obama snagging 72 percent of their support nationwide. Women were also concerned about healthcare and their reproductive rights which helped the President snag 53% of their vote.
Last
night, supporters grooved to music like Al Green, Frankie Beverly &
Maze, and even some Beyonce while waving flags in excitement before the
president came out to Stevie Wonder’s ‘Signed, Sealed Delivered’. He
was accompanied by Michelle Obama and his daughters Sasha and Malia who
he thanked during his victory speech:
I wouldn’t be
the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years
ago. Let me say this publicly. Michelle, I have never loved you more. I
have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as our nation’s first lady. Sasha
and Malia — before our very eyes, you’re growing up to become two
strong, smart, beautiful young women, just like your mom. And I am so
proud of you guys. But I will say that for now, one dog’s probably
enough. [laughter]
Celebrities also jumped on social
media to congratulate the president and show off their excitement. Check

When I heard the news I fell out of the couch with tears in my eyes. I was so emotional because I know how much people have fought for the rights that were being debated about. It just show that honesty and loyalty to the people means more than money. Of course we all know that the majority in the of House of Representative is Republican , but the goal now is to WORK TOGETHER. Their isn't any room for fighting, just time to do what is right for our country...OnPointCelebz! Four More Years! :-)
This Afternoon I attended a press conference on Capital Hill in Washington, DC to officially announce the filing of the petition for Writ of Certiorari, dedicated to the court case of, Grammy winning reggae artist Buju Bonton (Mark Anthony Myrie). Many activist, educators, friends, supporters attended the conference to learn some important information about the case and to ask question they may have about the case.
“Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people are convinced that Mark Anthony Myrie was unjustly targeted and convicted in the United States court in Florida,” explains Banton’s new attorney, Chokwe Lumumba. “We request that the highest court of the land review this injustice and overturn it.” He adds, “We are determined to fight for Myrie’s freedom until he is vindicated.”
Lumumba, in association will the Buju Banton Defense Support Committee and the Gargamel Music Family, is organizing the press conference. Guest speakers included national head of the NAACP, Ben Jealous; Civil Rights Activist, Dr. Carolyn Cooper; author and lecturer at the University of West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica; Brother Aula Sumbry, Radio Host and Chairman of the NAACP Prison Committee in Trenton, New Jersey; Grammy winning artist Stephan Marley, Gramps Morgan and many more.
The reggae artist was convicted last year for "Conspiracy to possess with an intent to distribute" and "using the wires to facilitate a drug trafficking offense". These federal offense together carry a 10 year penalty. The last conviction, "knowing and intentionally carrying a firearm to further a drug offense", was thrown out of his sentencing hearing.
Buju will be re-sentenced in a Tampa courthouse early this week.
The Free Buju Press Conference will be held at The Methodist Building (100 Maryland Ave. N.E.) — located across the street from the Supreme Court — at 1pm sharp. Fans in the Washington Metropolitan Area are welcome to come and show their support.
