The Island Of St. Maarten Plans To Sue Chad Johnson And Evelyn Lozada For $90,000 That Paid For Their Reality TV Wedding!

August 21, 2012 By Madam Prezident Leave a Comment

When it rains, it pours. These two can’t catch a break!

<St. Maarten May Sue Chad Johnson And Evelyn Lozada For $90,000 Contract Breach

The Council of Ministers, namely the Minister of Education, Youth, and Sports Silveria Jacobs and the Minister of Finance Roland Tuitt may soon have to take legal actions in the United States against Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson and his estranged wife Evelyn Lozada if they fail to abide by the contract they have with the government of St. Maarten. Johnson and Lozada signed a contract with the government of St. Maarten and obtained approximately $90,000 for their wedding which was held on St. Maarten on July 4th, 2012. The official and legal ceremony was conducted on the Dutch side of the island while the wedding and reception was held at the Le Chateau des Palmiers in Low Lands.
The government of St. Maarten entered into the contract with the foreign couple in which they agreed to have their wedding aired on VH1 in the USA. If the wedding was aired as agreed upon then St. Maarten would have received more publicity that would further boost the island’s tourism economy. However, Johnson and Lozada are now going through divorce procedures after the couple had a domestic dispute over the weekend. Johnson was arrested and is currently out on bail for head butting his wife Evelyn. Based on online media sources, it is understood that due to current developments VH1 will no longer air the wedding ceremony since the couple is now battling in a divorce procedure just 41 days after they tied the knot.
SMN News learnt that two Members of Parliament, one of which is supporting the current coalition government practically forced the current coalition government to make the monies available to Johnson and Lozada since they were busy negotiating with the couple prior to the fall of the UP/DP government. SMN News also learnt via our sources that the Prime Minister of St. Maarten Sarah Wescot Williams objected to the investment but her concerns were not taken into consideration and the Council of Ministers went ahead with the investment which they placed under “strategic advertising” for the island.
Reliable sources within the government apparatus said that the two MPs were supposedly getting a kick back from the monies government invested in the wedding of NFL player Chad Johnson. The source said one particular MP has connections in the United States and that Member of Parliament made commitments with the couple and other political heads in the US.
When SMN News reporter asked members of the Council of Ministers on Wednesday during the Council of Ministers’ press briefing if government intends to retrieve the tax-payers monies they invested in the wedding if the contract is not upheld, Minister of Education Silveria Jacobs at first deferred the question to the Minister of Finance but then she later said that the media was asked not to publish previously mentioned information on the couple’s wedding locally because the series is scheduled to air in September 2012.

Says Minister of Finance Roland Truitt:

“When someone is investing in business it’s a risk they are taking and if something happens then they will have to deal with the consequences. Naturally, we have a contract with Johnson and Lozada and that contract has some clauses inside of it and St. Maarten will use those clauses if necessary.”

One Door Closes & Another One Opens: Rihanna Is The New Face Of Barbados

August 9, 2012 By Madam Prezident Leave a Comment

Rihanna Signed As Face Of Barbados Tourism

Well Nivea may have parted ways with Rihanna, but her hometown has something in mind-She just signed a three-year contract to promote her native country of Barbados. She will begin work this September, encouraging tourism to the beautiful island.

“Barbadian pop singer Rihanna has signed a three-year contract with the Barbados Tourist Authority (BTA) to promote the island. According to BTA chairman Adrian Elcock, production on the promotional campaign is expected to begin soon and will be launched in September, in time for the winter tourist season. Elcock made the announcement Saturday, during the Crop Over press conference at the Hilton Barbados Hotel.”

Her recent departure from the clean-face, young beauty rep she used to be for Nivea is still being talked about and this new deal may be a better fit for Rihanna.

That girl from Love and Hip-Hop Joseline really looks like Rihanna (maybe a little) I’m not saying they are twins-they do favor eachother!!!

Bishop Long Old Love Muffin Wants New Birth Church To Stay Out The Bahamas!

Bishop Eddie Long’s Gay Sex Accuser Centino Kemp Protests Church Conference In Bahamas

Centino Kemp is one of 5 men that was paid handsomely by Bishop Eddie Long last year when the pastor’s gay sex abuse scandal came to light.

Upon hearing that his former abuser’s 2012 Spirit & Truth Conference was headed to the not-so-Virgin Islands, Kemp took to twitter to let it be known that Eddie and all his Longness should NOT be welcome!

You would know better than us, Centino, how much fawking his balls are doing…

Anyway, if you are not familiar with Centino, here is a lil backstory to help jog ya memory.

It seems that the list of accusers for Bishop Eddie Long just keep getting well, longer.
A 22-year-old gay man is accusing Bishop Eddie Long of having a sexual relationship with him while he was in college.
Centino Kemp, who was raised in the Bahamas, said the relationship was so intense that he tattooed the Long’s name on his wrist.
Fox Atlanta reports:
One source says Centino Kemp, who was raised in the Bahamas, met Bishop Eddie Long years ago during a visit to New Birth while he was a teenage student in a Florida college. The relationship meant enough for him to tattoo Eddie Long’s name on his wrist, followed by the words, “Never a Mistake, Always a Lesson.”

Should the Bahamas Christian Council take measures to shut down Bishop Long and his conference in light of his “transgressions”???

Rihanna Enjoying Her Home Town Barbados

July 13, 2012 By Madam Prezident Leave a Comment

According to theybf:

After going back home to Barbados for her grandmother’s funeral, Rihanna finally has a smile on her face again. After the grief-filled services, Ri took to the beach with her friends and a beer to get heself back in good spirits.

The “Birthday Cake” singer is all about life (and a drink) these days. And she’s keeping her grandma close to her heart as she tweeted recently:

#grangranDOLLY? I know you smiling down on me brightly, I could feel it in the sunshine ?#1Love? forever’.

So the island pop star threw on her bikini and played some water sports with her friends:

Her long black hair she’s been rocking these days kept getting caught up in her earrings:

And she kept the fun going:

Great to see her smiling again! She later stopped by the Louis Vuitton boutique in Lime Grove and was spotted snapping some pics with fans.

By the way, Ri just got named as one of the Top 10 highest earning females under 30 on the FORBES list. Taylor Swift, 22, topped the list with $57 mill earned last year. And 24-year-old Rih raked in $53 mill last year–mostly from tours and endorsements. WORK.

July 11, 2012 By Madam Prezident Leave a Comment

A somber Rihanna was in Barbados today where she attended the second funeral for her Gran Gran Dolly. Also watch the trailer for RiRi’s new reality show.

Rihanna put on her attended the funeral of her Grandmother in Barbados yesterday. She wore a little black dress, Tom Ford shoes and her hair upswept and managed to keep it togetehr as much as possible.

The funeral obviously took a toll on the pop star…..

She just posted this on Instagram (where she looks wasted and holds a beer bottle) and said, I had to!!! Sorry granny.

Perhaps it’s time for someone to step in and make her take a mental & emotional break. Clearly she still needs time to heal…..in private.

France Bans “Think Like A Man” Because Of The Majority Black Cast

May 22, 2012 By Madam Prezident Leave a Comment

Tim Story’s blockbuster hit Think Like A Man has raked in over $73 million since its April 20th release. But that means nothing to the french movie guild.

France has decided that Think Like A Man DOES NOT promote diversity and has been banned. So the films with all white casts do promote diversity?

Global Voices offered an answer saying,

“Surprising as it may be, the answer lies in the fact that the film has an all-black cast. French cinema is often pointed at for not fairly displaying all components of the country’s multiethnic population. Although the recent success of the movie Les Intouchables, which earned French African actor Omar Sy the Cesar award for Best Actor in 2012, caused great pride and hope among French nationals from Africa and the Caribbean, it was not to be the turning point for a deep and lasting change.”

If it still doesn’t make sense, French blog People Bo Kay added (translated), ”The French state has had a sociopolitical strategy which favors interracial relationships rather than valuing communities. In the comedy ‘Think like a Man’, the focus is on black couples.”

So we’re just ignoring the relationship between Gabrielle Union‘s character and “Turtle”/Jerry Ferrara? This sounds like some ish they’d try in Hollywood. It’s interesting to note that France also bans the release of Tyler Perry flicks.

“Black actor and producer Tyler Perry’s movies are never scheduled in any French movie theaters or are only released in DVDs, even though he has been used to leading the US box-office, as with ‘Why did I get Married’ and ‘For Colored Girls’. The French society acts hypocritically, when it refuses to show movies from black producers who earn millions from conveying a positive message to the African diaspora through their films.”

Do you think the French are being racist? Or are they right?

Meet Childhood Rihanna

April 9, 2012 By Madam Prezident 1 Comment

She’s now one of the world’s sexiest pop stars – but Rihanna was once just an adorable little girl with pigtails.

This exclusive new childhood photo shows the star in a cute pink shirt aged about four with her younger brother Rorrey, who is aged about two in the photo.

Rihanna’s family album: The pop star aged four with her younger brother Rorrey outside their home in Bridgetown, Barbados

Happy snaps: Rihanna aged 13 and right, at a carnival in Barbados

Wild: Rihanna is now known for her raunchy image

The pair are standing outside their family home in Bridgetown, Barbados, with their parents Ronald Fenty and Monica Braithwaite sitting behind them, back in 1992.

Another unseen snap of a young Rihanna shows the S&M singer aged about nine, with her younger cousin Noelle. Noelle now frequently travels the globe with Rihanna while she tours.

Speaking about her memories of the young Rihanna, Noelle’s older sister, Nicola Alleyne, who used to babysit them both, said: ‘I just remember her curly hair and beautiful eyes. She was a really determined person.

‘When she set herself on something she would just do it. She’s stubborn and sticks to her guns She’s just a very likeable person. She’s very faithful to her old friends.

‘When I see how hard she works I’m amazed. I don’t have the stamina to work as hard as she does. She’s really down to earth and sweet.’

Nicola, who runs a clothes store in Bridgetown, added: ‘She used to come and help out her mother at her store selling clothes and she used to come and help sell with us when she was about 11 or 12.’

Another cousin Amanda Thompson, of Bridgetown, Barbados, added: ‘I used to platt her hair. I used to platt everyone’s hair in the family. Rihanna would never stay quite for 10 seconds. She was special then and she’s special now.’
