Kirstie Alley gained 85 pounds.

Two years after her news-making bikini reveal, Kirstie Alley explains how she gained back 85 pounds.

For two years, Kirstie followed the Jenny Craig plan and inspired people around the country to lose weight with her. Then, in 2006, Kirstie graced Oprah's stage with a new look, fulfilling a goal she'd set for herself one year earlier—to wear a bikini in public. Seventy-five pounds lighter than her starting weight, Kirstie donned a bikini for all to see.
Now Alley has ballooned back to her original weight. 85 pounds later with the loss of her job as spokes person for Jenny Craig, she is back to where she was two years earlier and still does not have a plan with out a spoon and fork!

I personally can not say it is easy considering you have such a busy schedule, but you have to keep it real and incorporate exercise in this routine some where. If you can not maintain you eating habits with exercise, you will continue to be obese. There is no make believe formula that you can drink to shed the pounds, the formula that will help you win with success is control your eating and exercise!

A South Carolina woman is charged with criminal neglect

A South Carolina woman is being charged today with criminal neglect, a felony that could land her up to ten years in the slammer. Why? Because her 14-year-old son weighs 555 pounds. The kids mother, Jerri Gray, was poor and often had to work back-to-back shifts, so her son was home alone a lot. Gray claims there wasn't a lot of junk food in the house, but that her son was stuffing his face in school, eating several lunches each day and feasting on snacks given to him by his friends. The mother tried to get help for her son. She got a $30,000 scholarship to take her kid to a weight treatment center. However, when she arrived the people at the facility said they were not equipped to deal with her boy because he was just too damned big. If Gray is found guilty, it will set a rather scary precedent. If letting your kid eat too much is a crime, what should happen to parents of kids who are anorexic or bulimic? Or to parents of kids who get pregnant? Or to parents of kids who rob or kill someone? Yes, parents can influence their children. But at the end of the day, they're not in the drivers seat. On the flip side, being morbidly obese is dangerous. Parents should try to keep their kids healthy. But I think its hard to dole out punishment. I mean, isn't the school partially at fault? I bet this kids teachers were around him more than his mother—should someone have intervened when they noticed the kid was eating way too much and getting dangerously fat? And while were passing out blame, isn't this partially an epic failure on the part of the system? We live in a country where not everyone has equal access to great health care. So shouldn't those rich, fat, white men in Congress share the blame, too? And what about the weight loss center that refused this kid treatment? And the friends who gave him snacks? And the kid himself? Obviously, this mother isn't the greatest ever. But she is not the only problem here.
How shameful can this system be? In this day and age when it is hard enough to think for yourself, how can you be charged for not thinking for someone else? To give a woman a criminal record because she has a fat ass son is simply not right. If she is not contributing to his obesity then why charge her for his problems? I think it is important for a parent to instill values and morals in a child but when they reach a certain age, all that goes out the window. Life is to short and to punish anyone for their child's short coming is simply not right!

Method Man and Redman at EZStreet’s radio show

Child Support is a sore subject with men period. The fact that judges take advantage of men when they appear in Court, in some case is crazy! I am not sure if Nas has P diddy or fifty money, so if he does not why is he paying more money than these 2? Unless you have stood in front of a judge and hear some of his justification for how they runs their court you would not believe it. The passion that Method is giving is straight from the heart. I am not knocking women or the ideal of paying child support, but enough is enough, right? $55,000 a month for a newborn is unbelievable... So when he turns 3 year old, will they raise it to $100,000 a month because the baby needs pull-ups? Unfortunately for Nas, if it comes a time that he can not pay he will be labeled a dead beat dad.
If the reckless action creates bankruptcy the court will have the nerve to say he should have managed his money better.

Wedding Day Dance

This is spectacular for the bride and groom to come up with a dynamic way to walk down the isle. Forget the traditional da dum dum dum, they choose to shake it down the isle with family and friends. I can not really imagine how much time was spent planning this brilliant ideal, but the concept is priceless. So not only is the ideal embeded in their minds, but it also managed to touch the lives of millions of Americans with a touch of classl... The door is open, now lets see who will walk through next!

Jesse Lee Peterson Thanks Whites on Slavery

Unfortunately this idiot is the guy that I would expect to be in the KKK. He is the one on a soap box in front of thousand of whites telling them that they need to stand up for themselves. Where has he been for the last 50 years? I guess he did not loose any friend or family member to any hate crimes. My blood boils when I hear him on white conservatives talk show giving his opinion about black peoples. Like he is one... Then he even has the nerve to give his opinion as a black man???? When he describes blacks, he does not associate himself with "them" as he says it. How can he call him self a man of god with such hate for his own race?

If a bomb would wake him up and keep him from suffering from the hand of a deranged fool. When you play with snakes you will get bit. The fantasy world that you are living in is like playing Russian Roulette, and the longer that you play will limit your chance to keep succeeding.
Mr Peterson please remember if it looks like crap and smells like crap, its crap!!!

Would you believe my story if I were white?

JULY 23--Here are the police reports detailing the confrontation last week between Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Cambridge cops, who were condemned last night by President Barack Obama for acting "stupidly" in arresting the African-American scholar. Cops responded to Gates's house after neighbor Lucia Whalen reported spotting "two black males with backpacks" trying to gain entry to the home (Gates, returning home from a trip overseas, and his driver were contending with a stuck front door). The Cambridge Police Department reports, authored by Sergeant James Crowley and Officer James Figueroa, quote an incensed Gates yelling, "This is what happens to black men in America!," and, when asked by Crowley to speak with him outside the residence, Gates replied, "ya, I'll speak with your mama outside." A disorderly conduct rap was filed against Gates, but quickly dropped by prosecutors. Gates is reportedly considering legal action against the Cambridge police. (3 pages)

What Gates said is the truth... These kind of things do happen to black men in America. For some reason whites don't believe that black people or Hispanic suffer from racial profiling. As a matter of fact since America has a black President, Blacks have lost the right to say that racism still exist. I absolutely can not stand to hear a white man expressing his anger about a black man crying fowl! How quickly they forget about the Emit Till's of the world. The Lynching of thousands of black men, who suffered at the hands of hateful white mobs, or being found guilty by an all white jury for a crime that he did not commit. Being the last hired and the first fired. You see when you are black in America you can not even make statement like that, for fear of being called a racist!

What if we switched the situation and all the things that happened to us as black men was laid at the feet of white's. They suffered all the heart ache and paid the tributes to their white skin with lynchings and abuse, simply because they were white... Would the story be so hard to believe if they were the one's telling them?
