Kris Jenner Wants To Manage Honey Boo Boo And Make The Famous Red-Neck Family Mo Money!

October 12, 2012 By Madam Prezident Leave a Comment

Keeping Up With Honey Boo Boo?

Kris knows a good thing when she sees it and that good thing is little Honey Boo Boo. Kris has decided that she wants to manage the reality star’s career and help turn her into a gold mine, according to a new report.

It wasn’t too long ago that Kris Jenner allegedly referred to Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson‘s mom June Shannon as being ‘classless’ for exploiting her family. But now she’s apparently showing an interest in helping their careers. So why the sudden change of heart?
Money! The almighty dollar, of course! Kris has helped turn her own family into a multi-million dollar empire, why not do the same with the Honey Boo Boo family…and profit from it! Kris ain’t no dummy when it comes to business.
According to a recent report in Star magazine, Kris is trying to convince the Thompson family to meet with her to discuss her big plans for them. “Kris realized that they could be a gold mine,” an insider tells the magazine. “The Thompsons don’t really have any professional representation outside of TLC, and Kris thinks she can get them some serious endorsements and more money from the network. They’re getting a fraction of what Kate Gosselin got.”

But after calling June ‘classless’, will she get the chance to redeem herself? Knowing how shrewd Kris is, they will soon have a special called The Kardashians Meet The Honey Boo Boo’s.

Will you be watching?

Chick-fil-A President Says “We Support Biblical Families” [Video]

Chick-fil-A President Says “We Support Biblical Families”

Despite Chick-fil-A’s efforts to appease to the gay community, its President, Dan Cathy, reiterates the company’s support for “biblical families.”

Via 11AliveNews:

In one of his first interviews since the controversy that surrounded his chain of restaurants, Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy did not say much — but did mention his support for “Biblical families.”
Cathy spoke with 11Alive’s Matt Pearl this past Saturday at an event at the Cathy family’s ranch, The Rock Ranch, in The Rock, Ga. While offering an interview about the ranch and its various fall events, the Chick-fil-A president did agree to answer a few questions about the major topic of conversation: his earlier statements this summer about gay marriage. Back in July, Cathy told the Baptist Press the company stands “guilty as charged” for its stand on Biblical and family values. “We are very much supportive of the family — the Biblical definition of the family unit,” he said. “We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that.”
This past weekend, Cathy sidestepped questions about the controversy but did reiterate the company’s devotion to families. “Families are very important to our country,” Cathy said. “And they’re very important to those of us who are concerned about being able to hang on to our heritage. “We support Biblical families, and they’ve always been a part of that.”

Chinese Mother Gives Her Quadruplets Numbered Haircuts To Tell Them Apart

September 9, 2012 By Madam Prezident 1 Comment

This is kinda funny but messed up… The mother of Chinese quadruplets had them get numbered haircuts so that folks could tell them apart, herself included!

For the first day of school in the city of Shenzhen, their mother, Tan Chaoyun, had their heads shaved into numbers 1 through 4. She said she and her husband also have problems. “My sons are identical, even to me,” she said.

Now we don’t feel so bad for not being able to tell twins apart… When even your parents don’t know whose who, then maybe it’s time to start wearing a number!

9 Yr.Old Caught On Tape Beating Up Kids At A Daycare

July 23, 2012 By Madam Prezident 105 Comments

Lock his arse up and throw away the key:

9-Yr Old Boy Kicks-Beats-Attacks Daycare Kids

Surveillance video from Kiddie City Childcare Center in Vicksburg shows a nine year-old’s reign of terror over a room of infants.
The boy can be seen punching one little girl multiple times.
Then choking another, then patting her back as she cries in pain. Another time he violently shakes another child.
In an exclusive interview with a WLBT photojournalist, the boy’s aunt says the family is embarrassed by the attacks and the daycare should be shut down.
“He bad. He fight but he don’t fight little babies. He do also have a problem. He take medicine every day and he just a normal child,” says Vinia Dolley.
In one instance, you can see the boy kick one of the little girls while a daycare worker looks out the window. Later the boy picks up the girl and kicks her again.
The nine year-old can be seen waiting until workers turn away to attack the girls.
Dolley says they tell the boy not to fight with others.
“I feel bad about him jumping on a two year-old baby, he nine years-old. He don’t fight his own two year-old brother like that or cousins,” says Dolley.
Vicksburg police have arrested former daycare worker Sandra Trevillion.
She’s charged with two counts of contributing to the neglect of a minor.
“This nine year-old child, he was allowed to pretty much run rough shot over that entire room for a period of 15 to 20 minutes. All his actions went unnoticed,” says Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong.
The parent of one of the girls, Jamie Williams, 29, says his daughter came home for about a week with injuries, including a busted lip and a bite mark on her chin.
“Don’t nobody know nothing at the daycare. Nobody know nothing,” said Williams.
Williams told WLBT Thursday he got upset when daycare workers couldn’t give an explanation as to why his 1-year-old daughter was injured at the daycare Monday. That’s when he slapped the child he thought was responsible. Police say it was the wrong kid and he was later arrested and charged with simple assault, a misdemeanor.
“I understand why Jamie Williams would be upset. However, even if he had attacked the nine year-old he still would have been arrested and it would have been just as wrong as him attacking the six year-old,” says Armstrong.
Police have interviewed the nine year-old boy and his mother. It’s unclear if they’ll face charges.
Trevillion was being held on a $2,656 bond Friday evening.
Williams’ court date is set for later this month.
The Department of Human Services is also investigating the incidents and other charges could be filed.

A Family Leaves A Waitress A 500$ Tip: To Grant The Wish Of Their Dying Brother

July 14, 2012 By Madam Prezident Leave a Comment

I love stories like this-God is Real! There are good people in this world.

Dying Man’s Family Grants Wish Of Leaving Large Tip For Waitress

A Kentucky man’s family fulfilled his dying wish when they left a $500 tip to their waitress at a Lexington restaurant a few days after he died, the NBC station WLEX in Lexington. And that wish has turned into something bigger.
Before he died July 7, 30-year-old Aaron Collins told his family he wanted to eat pizza and leave the server a large tip, but didn’t have the money, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.
His family raised the money through a website that Collins’ brother Seth started.
Days later, they went to have lunch at a pizza parlor and handed the waitress the $500 when they were done, the paper reported.
The event was captured on video and is posted on the family’s website.
The waitress can be heard saying, “Are you kidding me?”
According to the website, more than $10,000 has been donated since Thursday.
Collins’ family said they plan on raising more money and giving out big tips weekly to other servers as long as they can.

THAT is how you go out in a meaningful way that will always be remembered.

The Queen Is Ready To Play The Role Of Parenting To Her Own Child: She’s Ready To Be A Mommy

July 11, 2012 By Madam Prezident Leave a Comment

According to Bossip:

The stork is coming to Hollyweird! And it should be making a stop at Queen Latifah’s crib very soon:

Queen Latifah has babies on the brain.
The Ice Age: Continental Drift star, 42, is set on the plan she’s had for years to adopt a child, she said on Wednesday’s The View.
“I’m actually kind of working on that,” Latifah told co-host Barbara Walters when, according to ET, she was asked if it’s something she seriously considers. “I just always wanted to bring a child home.”
While a rep for the star tells PEOPLE there’s “nothing new to report” in Latifah’s apparent adoption process, the aspiring mom tells Walters, “I’m totally serious, so if you got a kid that you don’t … just give me a year – let me set up camp and send me the kid. But no, no [I'm] totally [serious about adopting].”

We gotta wonder if the Queen is gonna do this on the solo dolo tip or if girlfriend Eboni Nichols is in on the plans.

Check out some pics of the two of them eating with a friend in L.A. in June below:

Madam Prezident: Gabby Claims D.Wade’s Ex-Wife Ruined Her Career?!?!!

July 10, 2012 By Madam Prezident 1 Comment

Gabrielle Union stated the drama with Dwyane Wade’s ex-wife had a negative impact on her career. She said that Siohvaughn Funches presenting an image of Gabby as a homewrecker was very difficult for her.

“It’s hard because, aside from loving him, I want to protect myself. I’ve built my life. I built my own brand. I built my career and my career took a hit from that madness because some people refuse to see the truth, even when it’s presented to them time and time again. I love him but at some point it’s about self preservation.”

Also she stated,

“I pay for my family. I pay for my mommy and my daddy and my sisters and her family. ‘D’ doesn’t write those checks, I do, so when something is starting to affect the way I make a living, ‘no no no baby,’ let me figure out a way for me to protect our home that me and Dwyane have with the kids.”

Gabriel stated about D.Wade’s kids

“You have to put their love of their mom, their love of peace of mind and love of consistency first, and then I have to make sure I can still feed my own family. Luckily, by taking the high road and not engaging in the back and forth craziness, I was able to do both. Luckily, by doing the right thing and putting the children first, it worked out that I was able to save myself.”

T.I. Gives Proud Papa Hov Parenting Advice: “You’ve Got To Be Blue Ivy’s First Love”

May 21, 2012 By Madam Prezident Leave a Comment

Family hustle man T.I. has passed on some fatherly advice to new dad Jay-Z

In an Interview with Fuse, the rapper, who is the father of six gave the Roc Nation boss some useful tips to bear in mind while he raises his four-month-old daughter with Beyonce, Blue Ivy:

“Little girls are going to judge men they meet in the future based off how their father treated them,” said the rapper and star of VH1’s ‘T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle.’
“You’ve got to be her first love, her first everything so when she run into nonsense in the street then she’ll know, ‘Nah, my daddy would never do it like that, so this isn’t even worth my time or attention.’”
Before adding not to forget one vital thing: “Another piece of advice is enjoy the moments. Enjoy the moments because once they’re gone, they’re gone,” he said.

Nice words from T.I., but with all the love Blue Ivy has coming from the Carter house, we think Jay has this one under control. We don’t foresee Tiny giving Bey any tips anytime soon. Do you think the “Trouble Man” should be giving Hov fatherly advice?

Bobbi Kristina ALLEGEDLY Found Getting High After Whitney Houston’s Funeral

February 20, 2012 By Madam Prezident 1 Comment

According to Theybf:

Bobbi Kristina put the Houston family into a panic over the weekend after she slipped away following Whitney Houston’s funeral. When they found her, sources say she was using drugs.

Two sources close to the Houston family told The Daily Beast that Bobbi Kristina slipped away after her mom’s funeral to get high.

Shortly after the funeral, Bobbi Kris went to dinner with the Houston family in Newark, NJ but soon slipped away saying saying she needed some time alone.

But went Bobbi was gone for several hours, family got very concerned (as she’d already had two breakdowns).

“Everyone was freaking out and calling Bobbi Kristina’s cell,” said one source. “It was so much commotion and activity after the funeral that Bobbi Kristina just slipped away. Ms. Cissy [Houston, Whitney’s mother] was beside herself.”

The main point of tension is that Bobbi Kris may have a serious drug problem herself.

“Cissy and others won’t admit out loud that Bobbi Kristina has a drug problem,” said the family friend. “But they know it and have been trying to keep her straight even before Whitney passed. But losing your mother and the life you’re accustomed to all in one day is enough to send anybody off the deep end.”

The two sources confirmed that Bobbi Kristina was found at a hotel “getting high,” after the funeral and now some family members want to send her to rehab immediately.

“It’s a horrible situation for everybody,” says the close family friend. “They tried to save Whitney, and it didn’t work. Now with Bobbi Kristina, they fear the same thing is happening again and they won’t be able to stop it either. Bobbi Kristina is all Ms. Cissy has left of Whitney. She’s so tired, but she’s ready to fight again to save her grandbaby.”

Despite the two sources, however, a Houston family spokesperson would not confirm the story saying,

“There was some confusion about Bobbi Kristina’s whereabouts last night for a short time, but she’s OK. She needed some time alone. She is going through a very hard time as you can expect.”

If she does indeed need help, I hope Bobbi Kris gets what she needs. So sad.

In other Whitney news, Whitney’s body was laid to rest with a private burial in Westfield, New Jersey at Fairview Cemetery yesterday. She is buried next to her father, John Russell Houston, Jr.
