James Holmes, Aurora Shooting Suspect, Faces Death Threats From Other Inmates

Inmates and prison workers are reporting unusual behavior from the 24-year-old sole suspect of the Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting.

According to the New York Daily News, James Egan Holmes entered the prison dressed up like the Joker, "acting crazy" and "spitting on guards". The Daily News also reported that other inmates have threatened to kill Holmes.

“All the inmates were talking about killing him," just-released inmate Wayne Medley told the Daily News. "Everyone was looking for an opportunity. It’s all they could talk about."

Holmes is being held at the Arapahoe Detention Center in solitary confinement.

Meanwhile, authorities are still investigating and trying to disarm the suspect's apartment. A bomb squad managed to set off a controlled detonation on Saturday, but it's unclear how many booby traps he set.

According to witnesses, Holmes entered the theater during the first 30 minutes of the midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises at the Century 16 theater in Aurora, Colorado. Some moviegoers thought that Holmes, who was wearing a gas mask and body armor, was part of the movie premiere.

Police said that he had planned the attack for months.

LATEST NEWS ON KATHERINE JACKSON : Police confirm 82-year-old Katherine Jackson is safe with family

The $500million fortune, the 'fake' will, and the bizarre family Twitter feud that led police to search for Michael Jackson's 'missing' mother

• Police confirm 82-year-old Katherine Jackson is safe with family
• Disappearance reported same time of family's battle over late singer's will
• Michael's mother and three children are sole beneficiaries to his estate
• Concerned grandchildren said they hadn't heard from her in a week

In the whirlwind of bizarre family allegations over Michael Jackson's will and the disappearance of his 82-year-old mother and beneficiary to his estate, police say they have now been in contact with Katherine Jackson reported missing since Saturday.

Katherine Jackson, the mother of Michael Jackson and guardian of his three children, is safe and with a family member in Arizona, authorities said late on Sunday, one day after another relative reported her missing to police.

Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputy Mark Pope said investigators made contact with Mrs Jackson, but he did not have specifics on her whereabouts. 

The agency previously said they believed she was with a relative and safe, but wanted to speak with her, a request that went unanswered.

'Mother is safe and well in Arizona with her daughter and our sister, Rebbie, resting up on doctor's advice, so it is beyond me how she can be reported "missing,"' her son Jermaine Jackson said in a statement late on Sunday. 

He said access to his mother is not being blocked but that her access to phones and computers was removed for her well being.

'Furthermore, it dismays me that such an alarmist "missing person" report has caused unnecessary anxiety among Michael's children who will understandably react to what they misunderstand, hear or are told,' he said.

Katherine is guardian to her son Michael's three children, Paris, Blanket and Prince, but her grandchildren reported losing contact with her for a week's time, prompted a missing person report on Saturday night by her nephew, Trent Jackson. 

With her three grandchildren and herself being sole beneficiaries to his estate, Mrs Jackson's disappearance occurred at the same time of a brewing battle among other family members over his will believed faked after his death in June of 2009.

Paris jackson tweeted: 

          Legal guardian: Katherine Jackson, far left, is guardian to Michael's children Blanket, third left, Prince, center and Paris, right. She and his three children are also Michael's only beneficiaries.

Worried for her grandmother's safety, Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris tweeted on early Sunday that she wanted her to return home.

‘yes, my grandmother is missing. i haven't spoken with her in a week i want her home now,' the 14-year-old tweeted adding a number to call if there was any word.

It was unclear who is taking care of the children in Mrs Jackson's absence. 

At the same time of Paris' pleas for help, her uncle Jermaine tweeted his own of assurance that his mother was safe and being taken care of during a time of medical need, naming a mini-stroke in recent months.

Status updates: Jermaine Jackson took to Twitter to issue statements on his mother's whereabouts through the weekend

That stroke was initially disputed by the teen who tweeted that ‘nothing had happened to her.’ The tweet was later deleted.

The incident demonstrated divisions in the Jackson family just days after five of the singer's siblings once again claimed that the King of Pop's will was a fake and that the executors of his lucrative estate should step down.

The undated letter, signed by Janet, Randy, Tito, Rebbie and Jermaine Jackson, claimed Katherine Jackson was being manipulated by the executors, John Branca and John McClain, her health had been affected, and she suffered a mini-stroke.

The estate has denied the accusations, which have swirled since Michael Jackson died from an overdose of a powerful anesthetic. Katherine Jackson obtained permission from a judge to investigate the will's validity, but never pursued the matter in court.

Paris later hearing her grandmother was sent away on doctor's orders did little to calm the teen, however, who expressed concern of a possibly more dangerous situation brewing.

‘the same doctor that testified on behalf of dr murray saying my father was a drug addict (a lie) is caring for my grandmother... just saying,’ she wrote.

Radar Online identified that doctor as Dr Allan Metzger, the same who wrote fraudulent prescriptions for Michael's sister Janet Jackson leading to his 2009 reprimand by the Medical Board of California.

Last fall he testified in Dr Conrad Murray's trial that Michael had come to him requesting Propofol, the drug that ended his life. Metzger said he refused Michale's request and warned him of the consequences, aiding prosecutors despite being a defense witness.

Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the June 2009 propofol overdose death of Jackson at age 50.

According to Radar Online, Metzger was called on specifically by brothers Jermaine and Randy Jackson to treat their mother last week.

Metzger is not Katherine Jackson's primary physician and her regular doctor wasn't aware of his house call until concerns about Katherine Jackson's whereabouts were raised, Jackson’s lawyer, Sandra Ribera said.

A phone message left for Metzger at his Beverly Hills practice was not immediately returned Sunday.

Earlier in the weekend he had said his mother was in Arizona resting 'on the orders of a doctor, not us,' where he reported himself being too.

He reports his mother having suffered 'a mini-stroke some months ago.

'She is fine now, but the timeline doesn't alter the fact it happened,' he tweeted.

Michael’s three children have lived with their grandmother since their father's untimely death. Not speaking to them for a week was unheard of, according to Ribera.

According to Ribera, on July 15 Jackson left her Calabasas, California, home with her daughter Rebbie to attend a Jackson brothers concert in Albuquerque, New Mexico a few days later.

It was on July 14 Metzger examined her after being brought to her Calabasas home by someone close to the family, she said.

She had been scheduled to depart on an RV trip to the Southwest to watch her sons perform. The elder Jackson never made any of the shows and Metzger apparently told her not to take the trip, Ribera said.

When Paris has called her grandmother she has been told she cannot speak to her, Ribera said.

Ribera said that Jackson 'has never gone 24 hours without talking to her kids,' and added that she was concerned the 82-year-old was not safe. 

The sheriff's homicide-missing persons unit was asked to investigate, Ribera confirmed. 

Since Michael's death his net worth has skyrocketed more than the amount when he was alive.

According to Billboard, MJ Inc has made no less than $1 billion a year thanks to his record deal with Sony Music, which is extended until 2017, as well as his concern films.

Michael's family bands The Jacksons and the Jackson 5 have sold approximately 800,000 albums according to Nielsen Soundscan while his independent albums have sold 9 million units in the U.S. alone.

In 2009 he sold 24 million units outside the U.S.

The 'Talk That Talk' singer set sail on her Italian cruise last weekend after she was spotted in Sardinia and has been seen in Capri and Positano along the Amalfi Coast during her trip.

Usher's 11-year-old stepson Kyle Glover 'dies after being taken off life support following severe jet ski accident'

Usher's 11-year-old stepson has died today.

Kyle Glover, whose name is sometimes spelled Kile, passed away this morning according to TMZ, from the injuries he obtained in a tragic jet ski accident in Georgia earlier this month.

The young boy was reportedly taken off life support by doctors, who determined that he would not recover from his injuries.

The website reports that Glover's mother and Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster is said to have grappled with the difficult decision to disconnect the life support, and is said to be understandably 'devastated.'Kyle was struck in the head during a jet ski collision while riding an inner tube on Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia, earlier this month.

According to authorities, a family friend who was riding a jet ski behind the pontoon lost control and collided with Glover's tube.

Kyle was with an unidentified 15-year-old girl at the time and both children were airlifted to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston.

JAY-Z boast about blue ivy's socks in"3 Kings," a new single off the Maybach Music Group boss' Rick Ross ft DR Dre too

Listen to track ; http://soundcloud.com/defjam


Rick Ross continues to build anticipation for God Forgives I Don't, his upcoming studio album (or, as it's known on Twitter, #GFID). But now he's not just demanding people change their Twitter photos to his album art: He's dropping tracks with Jay-Z and Dr. Dre.

"3 Kings," a new single off the Maybach Music Group boss' album, begins with Dre boasting that listeners are about to be treated to some "classic hip-hop sh-t." It's not an oversell: With a beat that's not afraid to sound like it is made by real instruments (take note, Lex Luger) and a Jay-Z verse that sounds like he found his late-'90s self, the song is a likely hit with old school hip-hop heads.

Added bonus: You get to hear Jay boast about Blue Ivy's socks.

Jake One (De La Soul, 50 Cent, Rakim) produced the song, which Funkmaster Flex premiered Thursday night (bombs and all). #GFID hits stores July 31.

Dark Knight Rises Director Christopher Nolan Comments On 'Dark Knight Rises' Shooting

"Dark Knight Rises" director Christopher Nolan has broken his silence on the shooting that took place at a screening of his film in Aurora, Co. In a statement which Nolan says is on behalf of the cast and crew of the film, the famed director expresses "profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy" and explains that "the movie theatre is my home."

Here's his full statement:

Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of The Dark Knight Rises, I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community. I would not presume to know anything about the victims of the shooting but that they were there last night to watch a movie. I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime. The movie theatre is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me. Nothing any of us can say could ever adequately express our feelings for the innocent victims of this appalling crime, but our thoughts are with them and their families.

Louie Gohmert: Aurora Shootings Result Of 'Ongoing Attacks On Judeo-Christian Beliefs'

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said Friday that the shootings that took place in an Aurora, Colo. movie theater hours earlier were a result of "ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs" and questioned why nobody else in the theater had a gun to take down the shooter.

During a radio interview on The Heritage Foundation's "Istook Live!" show, Gohmert was asked why he believes such senseless acts of violence take place. Gohmert responded by talking about the weakening of Christian values in the country.

"You know what really gets me, as a Christian, is to see the ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs, and then some senseless crazy act of terror like this takes place," Gohmert said.

"Some of us happen to believe that when our founders talked about guarding our virtue and freedom, that that was important," he said. "Whether it's John Adams saying our Constitution was made only for moral and religious people ... Ben Franklin, only a virtuous people are capable of freedom, as nations become corrupt and vicious they have more need of masters ... We have been at war with the very pillars, the very foundation of this country."

Ernest Istook, the host of the show and a former Oklahoma congressman, jumped in to clarify that nobody knows the motivation of the alleged Aurora gunman. Gohmert said that may be true, but suggested the shootings were still "a terrorist act" that could have been avoided if the country placed a higher value on God.

"People say ... where was God in all of this?" Gohmert said. "We've threatened high school graduation participations, if they use God's name, they're going to be jailed ... I mean that kind of stuff. Where was God? What have we done with God? We don't want him around. I kind of like his protective hand being present."

Gohmert also said the tragedy could have been lessened if someone else in the movie theater had been carrying a gun and took down the lone shooter. Istook noted that Colorado laws allow people to carry concealed guns.

"It does make me wonder, with all those people in the theater, was there nobody that was carrying a gun that could have stopped this guy more quickly?" he asked.

Patience Jonathan wants presidents' wives roles included in the constitution

Wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame Patience Jonathan, has canvassed for the inclusion of roles of presidents’ wives in the Constitution.
This, according to her would enable them get retirement benefits along with their spouses when they leave office.
Mrs. Jonathan made the plea in a chat with journalists shortly after she was sworn-in as Permanent Secretary in the Bayelsa State Civil Service along with 18 others by Governor Seriake Dickson on Friday afternoon.
She lamented that the office of the First Lady is not currently recognised because it is not in the Constitution, saying its inclusion will “enable the occupier of that position to enjoy benefits of the office like their husbands on retirement.”
She recalled a situation when the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN)   prevailed on the president to call her to order because the role of the first lady is not in the Constitution.
She tasked the Constitution Amendment Committee to look into the issue with a view to including it in the next constitution.
“We the wives of political office holders, if our names are not in the constitution and our husbands retire with benefits, the Constitution amendment committee should also look into the issue of wives of political appointees.
“We should be included in the Constitution so that we too can retire with benefits. With that we can enjoy our career, “Mrs. Jonathan added.
In his address, Governor Dickson, warned the new permanent secretaries against involvement in politics, saying “we don’t want your involvement in politics; we don’t want to hear that any permanent secretary is involved in the act of politicising our People.”

Police foil bomb attack on Abuja Catholic school

The men of the bomb disposal units of the Nigeria Police on Thursday foiled a bomb attack on St. Alloysius Schools, Area 3, Garki, Abuja.
A security man, who briefed the Head Teacher of the schools, Sister Philomena Akem, said the item was planted under a mango tree near where pupils buy biscuits and other items after school.
According to the security man, a woman who saw the bag became curious and called the attention of the church security personnel to the strange item.
He said when the security personnel found the object they in turn called the policemen on duty at the St. Alloysius Catholic Arch Diocese to the bomb.
He added that the policemen alerted the bomb disposal unit which came in to defuse the device.
It was learnt that the incident caused a serious panic among parents, residents and passersby around the area while the police team cordoned off the road to prevent access to the device during the operation to defuse it.
The head teacher of the school, who was just arriving the school from a meeting confirmed the disturbing incident to our correspondent.
She said one of her members of staff called her during to tell her about the incident.
She said the management of the school had alerted the Development Control of the Federal Capital Territory on the need to close a portion of the road where the vast Catholic Church and the schools are located.
She said the development had sent some of its personnel to the school to take a look at the road in response to the school’s petition on Wednesday.
Also, the Chairman of the Parents Teachers Association of the Schoool, Dr. James Agbonhese confirmed the incident to our correspondent.
He said the PTA and the Security Committee which comprises security operatives were taking measures to strengthen security in the schools.
He was full of thanks to God that the device was discovered by the woman who quickly called attention to it.

Dark Knight Rises Tragedy (PHOTOS): Can violence in Dark Knight Rises or Batman video games be blamed for this?

I am shocked by the movie theater tragedy in Colorado. Can violence in Dark Knight Rises or Batman video games be blamed for this?
—M.C., South Carolina, via the inbox
You've touched on a argument that has been raging for decades on a much larger scale, a discussion that encompasses gun violence in entertainment, cartoon violence and everything in between.
Details are still emerging on the alleged shooter, James Holmes, so it's too soon to say what, if any, exposure he himself had to violence as a child, or whether mental illness or any other factors played a bigger role. Let's not jump to conclusions just yet.
However, here's what I can tell you...
MORE:
Some heavy-hitting organizations suggest that media violence may have an impact on society, particularly on its young people—though how that influence is playing out is a matter of ongoing study and debate.
A 2007 report released by the American Medical Association cites research indicating that children under 10 may display more aggressive behavior if they play violent video games.

(The Batman franchise includes a slew of beat-em-up-style video games such as 2011's Arkham City, which has a "T" for teen rating.)
But "in spite of the research on the relationship of video game exposure and aggressive behavior, there is little evidence of a substantial link between exposure to violent interactive video games and serious violence or crime," the study notes. Instead, media violence, at least, in video games, probably does have adverse effects on normal social behavior.
That said, psychiatrist Carole Lieberman tells me, "there are thousands of studies" linking media violence and real violence.


MORE: Obama and Celebrities React
The studies "all show the same thing," says Lieberman, former head of the National Coalition on TV Violence, "which is that violent media causes people to become more aggressive proportional to the amount of violent media that the person consumes."
Of course, that doesn't mean we should blame Dark Knight Rises director Christopher Nolan for the death of a dozen innocent people in Colorado, or any other gun-related death, for that matter. The subject is simply too complicated, with too many other potential factors in play, Lieberman says.
"There are some people who are going to be more vulnerable to the impact of violent media than others," says Lieberman, who notes that some forms of mental illness manifest in a victim's early 20s.
The alleged shooter, Holmes, is 24.
One other detail of note: E! News has confirmed that New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said, "It clearly looks like a deranged individual. He has his hair painted red. He said he was the Joker, obviously the enemy of Batman."
Lieberman said she wouldn't be surprised at a Batman-inspired connection to this tragedy
"I think that's true," Lieberman said. "Maybe this man was identifying with one of the evil characters."

Obi Emelonye’s Last Flight to Abuja to land soon at cinemas

After recording an impressive clean out at major awards; Zulu African Film Academy Awards (ZAFFA) and African Film Academy Awards last year with his film, Mirror Boy, Obi Emelonye is back this year with another blockbuster hit, Last Flight to Abuja.

Obi Emelonye who won the Creative Person of the Year Award by The Sun Newspaper, set out on the Last Flight to Abuja project, a movie which focused on the ills in our Aviation industry and the unforgivable human errors that often occur in that sphere.

Fans’ favourite, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, the very firm, Jim Iyke, Hollywood and Nigerian actor, Hakeem Kae Kazeem, Jide Kosoko, Ali Nuhu, Celine Loader and a host of others took part in the movie that is already getting the people of London talking.

The movie recently premiered at the Troxy Cinema in East London, with star actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Jim Iyke and others in attendance; the London premiere was dedicated to the loving memory of over 150 passengers of the ill-fated Dana air crash with their names replacing the end credit of the movie.

Last Flight to Abuja reveals extensively, the daring mid-air difficulties that stares most Nigerian commercial planes in the face and how they are forced to make emergency landing which sometimes leads to very devastating consequences.

The movie will premiere on Friday 3rd, August in Lagos and will be in cinemas from Saturday, 4th August, 2012.

Synopsis: A set of everyday Nigerian travellers’ board the last Flamingo Airways flight scheduled to fly from Lagos to Abuja on a fateful Friday night in 2006. The plane cruises at 30,000 feet, tranquil and on schedule. But like a bolt out of the blue, through a mixture of human error, technical failure and bad luck, the plane rapidly develops major faults that send it teetering on the brink of disaster.

As the pilots fight with the controls of the stricken plane, a series of flashbacks unravel the twists, turns and leaps of fate that put each passenger on the fateful flight. Young lovers, an elderly couple, a corporate party, a sportsman on the threshold of greatness; all the passengers are caught up in the nightmare scenario and sense the final moments of their lives approaching.

Sofia Vergara, 'Modern Family' Star, Is TV's Highest Paid Actress

Sofia Vergara might have just celebrated her 40th birthday with a surprise engagement, but hopefully the "Modern Family" star has some more spare time in her schedule to celebrate being named the highest-paid actress on television.

Forbes estimates that Vergara raked in approximately $19 million between May 2011 and May 2012. At the same time, Latin WE, the media company she co-founded in 1996, pulled in a total of $27 million.

Vergara's face is seemingly everywhere these days: She endorses major brands like CoverGirl and Diet Pepsi and she even has her own clothing line at Kmart.

"Her appeal with Hispanics is unrivaled; she has a positive Q Score more than twice that of the average celebrity," Forbes' Meghan Casserly wrote. "And with the ABC smash hit 'Modern Family,' Vergara’s won over American audiences without alienating her Latina roots. For advertisers, the combination is electric."

And Vergara knows her sex appeal has only helped with her success.

“Part of my career has always been because of the way I look,” the Colombian actress told InStyle. “I’m not ashamed. It has opened doors. But I also know that if I didn’t have something else, I’d be long gone.”

Her $19 million in earnings placed Vergara in the top spot, ahead of E! reality star, Kim Kardashian, who earned approximately $18 million between May 2011 and May 2012. In April, the Kardashian clan signed a $40 million deal with E! for three more years of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," making it the heftiest deal ever in reality TV, according to TMZ.

Tom Cruise Rebound Rumors: Has He Chosen Yolanda Pecoraro As His Next Love Interest?

As rumors that Katie Holmes was "cast" in the role of Tom Cruise's third wife and signed a contract that allegedly expired right around the time she filed for divorce continue to persist, it's no surprise that there's already chatter of who will take on Holmes' role as the next Mrs. Tom Cruise.

RadarOnline is reporting that Yolanda Pecoraro, a virtually unknown actress, has been cast to fill Holmes' shoes. Experts claim that the 27-year-old could be the perfect fit for Cruise, as she's a devout Scientologist and has had two past relationships with other church members.

The website reports that Scientology expert Margery Wakefield told the National Enquirer that Cruise's next wife will be a member of the church, and a former member of the organization explained that Pecoraro is a "Scientology princess," who has been taking courses since she was 13 years old.

RadarOnline also points out that it's not the first time the actress has been linked to Cruise. In author Andrew Morton's 2008 book, "Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography" he writes that Pecoraro first met Cruise at the opening of a new Scientology center in Spain in 2004 and allegedly became his girlfriend. The book contains a photo of Cruise, Pecoraro and his high-profile pals David and Victoria Beckham at a soccer game a month after the two allegedly first met.

The claims seem dubious, but the National Enquirer was able to speak with the actress, who told the tabloid, "Yes, I knew and still know Tom Cruise. And no, I'm not married or engaged."

Though her comment doesn't give any credence to the claims that she could be the next Mrs. Tom Cruise, it certainly suggests Pecoraro has a publicist who knows a good opportunity when she sees one.

An insider goes so far as to claim that even though Yolanda lives with a boyfriend, the Church of Scientology is so embarrassed by Cruise's divorce that they are desperate to "stabilize the situation quickly" -- and there have been reports that the church is very unhappy with the onslaught of media coverage.

Given that Cruise is now living under a microscope, it seems unlikely that a new woman will be "cast" as his romantic interest anytime soon. Cruise was apparently blindsided by the divorce and heartbroken. Last week, the 50-year-old actor's lawyer Bert Fields told reporters, "[Cruise is] still tremendously saddened and shocked about the divorce. Tom is obviously relieved that the settlement was reached, but is still sad, obviously."

Janet Jackson Dispute: Singer Reportedly 'Furious' Over Niece Paris Acting In Upcoming Film

Janet Jackson is reportedly "furious" that her niece, Paris, daughter of her late brother Michael Jackson, has landed a role in the upcoming film, "Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys."

Us Weekly is reporting that Jackson "feels it goes against Michael's wishes to keep his kids out of the the limelight until age 18," according to a source who spoke with the magazine.

Paris, 14, landed the role back in December, and aunt Janet has previously expressed concern over her niece entering the spotlight so soon.

"We've spoken about the fact that you're only a child once," Janet told Prevention magazine in May. "I think there's a time for everything, and now is not the time [to act in films]. I told her I thought she should enjoy being a kid, possibly go to college—or not—but wait till she turns 18. She's a very tough, smart girl. But it's a cutthroat industry. I wouldn't want my child to do it."

During the manslaughter trial of Conrad Murray in October 2011, personal tape recordings of Michael Jackson were released which revealed Michael's unshakable pain over not having a childhood.

"My performances will be up there helping my children and always be my dream," Jackson said in the tapes, as previously reported by ABC News. "I loved them. I love them because I didn't have a childhood. I had no childhood. I feel their pain. I feel their hurt. I can deal with it."

"'Heal the World,' 'We Are The World,' 'Will You Be There,' 'The Lost Children'... These are the songs I've written because I hurt, you know, I hurt," he added.Although Michael's children, Paris, Prince, and Blanket, lived completely removed from the public eye while their father was alive -- he even made them wear masks and veils when out in public -- they were thrust into the spotlight when Michael died in 2009.

Still, Paris has always dreamed of emulating her father.

“When I was really little, my dad was in the movie ‘Moonwalker’ and I knew he could sing really well, but I didn’t know he could act,” Paris Jackson told Elen DeGeneres in an interview last December. “I saw that and I said, ‘Wow, I want to be just like him.’”

Dan Cathy, Chick-Fil-A President, On Anti-Gay Stance: 'Guilty As Charged'

Though Chick-fil-A has come under considerable fire for its documented support of anti-gay Christian organizations, officials for the fast food chain have remained mostly tight-lipped about the controversy -- until now.

In a new interview with the Baptist Press, Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy -- the son of company founder S. Truett Cathy -- addresses what the publication describes as his franchise's "support of the traditional family."

Cathy's somewhat glib response: "Well, guilty as charged."

He went on to note, "We are very much supportive of the family -- the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that...we know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles."

Cathy then reiterated his stance during an appearance on "The Ken Coleman Show," Good as You blogger Jeremy Hooper reported.

"I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say 'we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage' and I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about," Cathy said in that interview, which can be heard here.

Needless to say, Cathy's remarks quickly sparked the ire of a number of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) advocates and bloggers. "Regardless of where you stand, the placement of LGBT people within our societal picture and within our body of laws is the conversation at hand," wrote Hooper. "That is not the same thing as 'support for the traditional family,' no matter how aggressively the self-appointed values movement attempts to (mis)name reality!"

8-Year-Old Pakistani Boy, Achieves Microsoft Certification Shafay Thobani

Qualifying to be a "Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist" is an impressive achievement regardless of one's age, but now a Pakistani boy named Shafay Thobani can boast having checked it off his to-do list at the tender age of 8, the Daily Mail and the UK's Sun newspaper are reporting.

According to Shafay's personal website -- likely managed by adults, as it makes heavy use of the phrase "the child" to describe his training and accomplishments -- he started working with computers when he was just 4 years old.

At the age of 7, Shafay started training to pass the exams necessary to become a Microsoft expert. Doing so meant 13 months on a strict schedule that involved attending school from 7:30 in the morning to 1:30 in the afternoon, followed by computer classes at his father's office from 2:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Becasue Shafay's father is Shah Thobani, the CEO of Thobson Technologies in Karachi, the boy had access to a 1,000 square foot training space featuring three desktops, switches, routers and laptops.

Despite all those hours of work, Shafay's father and the staff who trained him didn't lose track of that fact that the boy is only 8. There was a dedicated area for chess, darts and arcade games.

All that rigorous studying appears to have paid off though, with Shafay reportedly achieving a score of 91 percent.

“I feel like the luckiest parent because at the end of each day I only ever receive very positive feedback from Shafay’s teachers," Shah Thobani was quoted as saying in the Sun. “Every year I give Shafay a new challenge to try and encourage him."
The Daily Mail reiterated the claim made on Shafay's website that he is now the youngest person to qualify as a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist. However, the website Pro Pakistani claims that young people achieving Microsoft certification and asserting themselves as the youngest to have done so is something of a trend in Pakistan. The site reported having reached out to Microsoft and getting word back that the company no longer tracks the ages of those who achieve certification.

In 2008, a 9-year-old girl from India achieved certification and reports surfaced that she was the youngest. Another girl who was from Pakistan -- and sadly passed away in January at the age of 16 -- had been certified in 2005 when she was 9 years old.

New record or not, Shafay notes on his website that his life dreams include helping the poor people of his country, and meeting Bill Gates. He is also open to being hired as a consultant.

Kris Humphries Mocks Kanye West After Signing $24 Million Contract With Brooklyn Nets

                                                                                                           

Kris Humphries signed a reported $24 million contract with the Brooklyn Nets, and it has him feeling pretty cocky.

The NBA player, who is currently in the middle of a messy divorce from Kim Kardashian, took aim at his soon-to-be ex's current beau -- Kanye West.

After signing with the team, who will assume their new home at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, this fall, Humphries took to Twitter to announce his good news and took a shot at West:

here is the tweet: 

I'm up at Brooklyn! @S_C_ "lucky I didn't have Jay drop me from the team" lol!

Humphries is, of course, making reference to one of West's lyrics from the song "Way Too Cold" (originally released as "Theraflu"), in which West refers to his romance with Kardashian and threatens to use his close friendship with Nets co-owner Jay-Z to have Humphries dropped from the team:

"And I’ll admit, I had fell in love with Kim/Around the same time she had fell in love with him/ Well that’s cool, baby girl, do ya thang/ Lucky I ain’t had Jay drop him from the team."

So far West, who is often very vocal on Twitter, hasn't responded to the dig.

The world celebrate Mandela's 94th birthday today July 18th

SOWETO: South Africa's schoolchildren sang happy birthday to Nelson Mandela as he turned 94 on Wednesday, a day when he asks the world to honour his legacy by performing community service.

The nation's 12 million schoolchildren began their day with a special birthday song, ringing with the line: "We love you father".

"As we celebrate his birthday, we remember that he fought for us in the struggle. The struggle was to fight apartheid," said 12-year-old Kgaugelo Masunhloane at Batsogile primary school in Soweto.

"He spent 27 years in prison. We would want to say thank you Madiba, and we wish you happy birthday, and many more years to come."

Mandela, known fondly by his clan name Madiba, was unlikely to make any public appearances, but rather to spend a quiet day with his family in his village home of Qunu, where he has retired from public life.

His granddaughter Ndileka Mandela told the Sowetan newspaper that his family would celebrate with a traditional meal of tripe and samp, a corn dish popular in his region of the Eastern Cape.

"We will probably have food like samp and tripe, his favourite food," she told the paper. "The big lunch will be at 4:00 pm (1400 GMT) where we will present him with a cake."

Former US president Bill Clinton met with Mandela at his village home on Tuesday. A photograph released after the meeting showed Mandela seated in an armchair, his lap covered by a blanket, as he held Clinton's hand.

Images of the Nobel Peace Prize winner have become rare in recent years since he retired to Qunu. He was last seen in public at the closing ceremony of the 2010 World Cup in Johannesburg.

But he retains an undeniable ability to inspire, and for many South Africans remains a symbol of the best of themselves, for leading the nation away from civil war and to a non-racial democracy.

Mandela's "extraordinary life and steadfast commitment to the principles of democracy and reconciliation continues to be a beacon for people of all backgrounds who strive for dignity, justice, and freedom," said President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.

They described his personal story as "one of unbreakable will, unwavering integrity, and abiding humility."

"By any measure," the statement read, "Nelson Mandela has changed the arc of history, transforming his country, continent, and the world."

Obama's predecessor Clinton said he was honoured to have been in office as Mandela became South Africa's first black president in 1994.

"When I think about Mandela I always think about someone committed to the future," he said after leaving Mandela's home.

"We worked together as presidents and even after we left office we continued working together to improve education of the children worldwide in order for them to share the future," he added.

Tiger Woods, the first black player to win a major golf title with a record-shattering 1997 Masters victory, remembered his first meeting with the ever-charismatic Mandela.

"He has such a presence and aura about him, unlike anyone I've ever met," Woods said Tuesday at the British Open. "He has meant so much to so many people around the world, not just in South Africa."

At the Tour de France, children will unfurl a banner to wish the icon happy birthday at the start of the stage in the southwestern town of Pau.

And the science world added an unusual tribute, naming a prehistoric woodpecker after the Nobel Peace Prize winner -- the oldest type ever found in Africa. (AFP)
