Checking In

Hey Family,

Just checking in don't have a lot to discuss even though there is so much in the news right now. I'm sure you all know that Michael Jackson is being laid to rest finally at the famous Forest Lawn cemetery in Glendale, California. Also in the news Whitney Houston bombed on Good Morning America, claiming that is was Oprah's fault due to appearing on her show before her performance. She stated she over used her voice on the Oprah Show.

Chris Brown was on Larry King this week saying how sorry he was for whipping Rihanna's ass then he stated he didn't remember doing it. While he was being all confused with I'm sorry to I don't remember, his mother was by his side being emotional as Chris talked about being in a household witnessing his mother getting her ass whipped. Now while Chris was using his mother's ass whippings as an excuse I was actually getting teary eyed. Wow! How about that...lol. No!!! Man should beat on a woman unless she steps to him like a man. I don't believe in turning the other cheek...lol.

In other news Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel welcomed their first child a boy into the world on Wednesday, they named him Walker Diggs.
