Damn you Beyonce! Didn't you just give birth! I guess some people just got it like that!


One of my passions in life is youth literacy. I believe that when children learn to read and love books at an early age, they have a huge advantage in life. Because of this, I would like to do my part by helping kids see how fun reading can be and to encourage them to read every day.
I will be going to schools and community organizations to read to kids and share some of my favorite children's books. If you're a teacher or community organizer and want me to come read to your kids, you can email your request to Pebbles@Jamn945.com.

Kim Kardashian's divorce about to be televised? No, not for Keeping up with the Kardashians or any of their other E! shows. Apparently, the divorce has become a bitter fight and Kris' lawyer wants to put reality TV on trial. I guess they want to expose reality TV and prove that Kim had no intention of staying married to him, but wanted big ratings for her show. AND they are asking the judge to allow TMZ and TV stations to broadcast the trial. Might be interesting to see just to find out what was in the prenup. TMZ says that it's extremely long and complicated and accounted for what could happen years into the future.
If you've seen the Real Housewives of South Boston spoof and hoped they would make it into a TV show...your wish has come true. Looks like TLC is about to produce a show called Southie Pride.
Is South Boston the next Jersey Shore? The creator of Jersey Shore has partnered with the network to make Southie Pride. The series will follow five women and their families in South Boston. They're currently casting for the show but apparently there was filming in Southie over the weekend to catch the reactions to the Patriots Super Bowl loss. Eight episodes have been ordered and the series is scheduled to premiere this fall.

You know Rihanna likes to switch it up, and now she's gone blonde. What do you think?
February is Black History Month, and instead of looking back as we tend to do during this month, I would like to look at the people who are NOW making Black History. They are the people doing things TODAY that we will look back on as history makers. They are the people making changes, inspiring others, and breaking through barriers even today as African-Americans.
Meet Jonathon Prince (Athlete - Activist)
Jonathon Prince did not spend most of his life as an athlete. He wasn't even into running - it was something an old girlfriend convinced him to take up as a joint activity. After Prince left college, he began working a full-time job behind-the-scenes on reality TV shows, and waiting for something better to come along. That something turned out to be running to raise money for causes he felt would motivate him to keep pounding the pavement, and he hasn't stopped.
"I was looking for substance, I was looking for passion," he said. "I had followed the cookie-cutter model of what life is supposed to be. It wasn't until I started to meditate, and as I did that, my world around me started to change, and Katrina hit and that's when I felt my call to answer."
In 2005, the self-proclaimed social athlete-activist -- which he coined "athlivist" - decided to create a cross-country run from his home state of California to Georgia to raise money for Hurricane Katrina victims.
"It was just seeing the devastation, seeing people that overnight had everything washed away from them," he said. "There was something about putting some sweat and labor behind it to give completely of myself for those that I may or may not ever come in contact with, but it was just the legwork that I wanted to do."
He embarked on his run across the U.S. and made it to his alma mater, Clark Atlanta University, in five months, and won a key to the city of New Orleans for his efforts.
Prince has since ran thousands of miles and raised over one hundred thousand dollars for charitable causes, including Habitat for Humanity and Bread for the World.
Jonathon Prince is making history as...an innovator who has made a career out of helping others by running. He recently completed a self-initiated 60-day, 795-mile solo run in California to support positive global change.
What's next for Jonathon?
Prince is planning a one-mile run on the moon within the next few years.
"It's my way of demonstrating (there's) no capacity of human potential,' he said. "The moon is something that we can all look up to at night. We all share it, it's one thing that we all have in common, and it breaks the barriers of everything here down on earth."

Looks like Beyonce and Jay-Z were ready to block the people trying to make money off their baby before she was even born. Late last month, the couple filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to secure Blue Ivy's name. Good thing because a fashion designer applied to trademark Blue Ivy Carter NYC a few days after she was born and a couple weeks later another person tried to get Blue Ivy Carter Glory IV to sell fragrances. Both were denied. One business, a clothing store in Wisconsin, can use the name because they had filed before Beyonce was pregnant.
Wish the night ended better, but it was a great night at the Hard Rock Cafe Boston for Ramiro's Birthday Bowl Click Here to check out all the pics!
Enjoy some video from the event too!
Sooooo, guess M.I.A. won't be invited back to perform at the Super Bowl! It's quick, but she flips the bird at the camera. SMH..,
Gotta say, I wasn't all that impressed by the Super Bowl commercials last night. The only ones I remember were: the Honda one with Matthew Broderick, the Coca Cola polar bears - vaguely, and the Adriana Lima one for Teleflora. Other than that...I'm unimpressed.
