Ocho Cinco Gives Out A Phone Sex Line On His Cereal Box?!

Posted: 30 Sep 2010 08:29 AM PDT

 

Ooops!  Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco tried to help out a charity while promoting his new cereal box, but things went sideways.  Find out the mishap that occurred when you read on...

 

<!--break-->

 

In Ohio, Ochocinco has his own line of cereal called Ochocinc'O's sold at local stores. And there is a number printed on the box that should send callers to 'Feed The Children' charity. But one Ohio family called the number, 1-800-HELP-FTC, looking to donate to the charity, and instead was greeted by a seductive voice for a sex line. The family was shocked that no one had discovered the misprint yet. 

Ochocinco launched the cereal September 7 and autographed boxes as well. All the boxes in stores were printed with the incorrect telephone number. Ochocinco said the error was a complete mistake and that he isn't responsible for it.

Hmmph.  So no one thought to call and check to see if the number was correct? Plus, everyone else who bought the cereal and called the number didn't tell anyone about it?  Funny situation...

 

BISHOP EDDIE LONG CHRONICLES: Accuser Spencer LeGrande Speaks Out + T.D. Jakes Comments

Posted: 30 Sep 2010 07:19 AM PDT

As Bishop Eddie Long rallies his supporters for this "Spiritual Warfare," his accusers are not backing down quietly.  The fourth accuser, Spencer LeGrande, just spoke out about Bishop and how he was coerced into a sexual relationship. 

Also, we have part two of Jamal Parris' interview who says Eddie Long is a "monster," plus T.D. Jakes steps into the discussion with comments of his own when you go inside...

<!--break-->

After hearing what his father had to say about the situation, Spencer LeGrande is speaking out for the first time from Charlotte since accusing Bishop Eddie Long of sexual abuse.  He apparently gave up a full college scholarship in order to move to Atlanta, under the coercion of Long.  Watch the video:

Here's some choice quotes from Spencer's interview:

"There's only one way to God and that's the truth."

"This is a hard time for the world and you know I have no hate for anyone, because God doesn't produce hate."

"I pray for everyone, especially Bishop, 'cause he knows the truth, he knows the truth."

I wasn't free until I came out with it, that's when my life's been much better. This last week has been free."

"Once God's time is ready for it to expose everything it's going to happen, and I just ... want people to know to keep praying.  Keep praying for our strength and for us getting through this."

 

 

And here's part two of the other accuser Jamal Parris' interview:

Here's some choice quotes from Jamal's interview:

"Bishop Long is in the pulpit, Eddie Long is in the private.  And we know Eddie Long. That's a whole other man."

"Enough is enough.  This man is-- he's done too much damage to the lives of young men and it's time it stops."

"Being around him is almost like a drug.  You can't believe the place you are at in your life and the things you are doing and the cars you are driving, and the people you are meeting. So, it becomes, if I want to continue to feel this love and this power, I'll do whatever my dad wants me to."

"All we wanted to do was talk and just say, 'Help me with this hurt that you caused.' And he had no sense of reverence, guilt, or remorse. So if you are not going to deal with us privately, then you are going to have to sit down publicly, one way or the other. But you are not going to hurt another young man another day in our lives."

"I want my pain to stop.  I want the pain of the other sons to stop. I want to make sure this pain never starts for another young man that goes to this church. And I actually want his pain to stop."

 

T.D. Jakes has also spoken out about the situation.  Here's what he had to say about having blood in the corner for anyone who needs it:

 

 

Three different experiences, opinions and angles.  If everything turns out to be true in the court of law, I hope the accusers do find freedom as Spencer says he has.  Your thoughts?

The "Grey's Anatomy" cutie roughed up his image a bit recently.  But it was all for his love of acting.

The 29-year-old actor...yes ladies, he's taken and engaged...performed as a guest at this weekend's Colonial Williams, VA performance of What Holds The Future?".

It's a show about "a group of slaves who come together before being sold by their master in the wake of Virginia declaring its independence."  Interesting.

Even in cuffs and looking dirty and disheveled...this dude is sex-y.

Eddie Long Speaks To Congregation Again: "This Is Spiritual Warfare!"

Posted: 29 Sep 2010 09:52 AM PDT

Bishop Eddie Long spoke for the second time last night at his New Birth church in Georgia.  Still not flat out denying the accusations themselves, he dnned his popular muscle shrt and vest to declare that spiritual warfare has been released on him.

 

Video and a recap when you read on...

<!--break-->

Eddie Long huddled up 32 ministers to pray with and support him at New Birth last night.  And he also spoke to his congreagation for the second time this week.  And he told them why he's not operating based off current "media reports":

"I'd be scared to show up, I'd be scared to look at you. But there's something in me bigger than the situation."

"I'm not speaking about the individuals and all of that," he said, according to Channel 2 Action News.

"This is spiritual warfare." Long said that if people believed media reports, "I'd be scared to show up, I'd be scared to look at you. But there's something in me bigger than the situation."

Alrighty then.  Grab your Holy Water.  The Bishop just gave the media a whole new pile to pick on...

The Randomness:

1. Even though he plead guilty last Friday to drug possession, Kid Cudi's entire case may get dismissed. Lucky dog. Story

2. In non-YBF news, if you're a Rachel Zoe Project obsessed fan like me, you'll be sad to know she and Brad have called it quits!  Pouring out a lil liquor for Brad.  I heart him. Story

She's PREGNANT...AGAIN!

Posted: 29 Sep 2010 09:23 AM PDT

 

Boxer and super-mom Laila Ali is pregnant with her second child. Find out the deets when you read on...

 

<!--break-->

Laili Ali and her hubby Curtis Conway are expecting their second child together. The couple was married in 2007 and have a son, CJ, who is 2.

The soon to be mom x2, who hit the Women Empowering Women event last night in L.A., commented to People Magazine, "I am pregnant again! I'm three months, and I'm so excited, my family is excited," says a beaming Ali. "I'm hoping it's a girl this time!"

 

Muhammed Ali is also excited to become a grandfather again. Laila says, "My dad is an excellent grandfather,he loves kids. He loves to kiss them to death"

 

Laila says that it's a struggle to maintain her preggers exercise routine:

"I've noticed I'm putting on weight faster this time, I started showing sooner,staying fit is a challenge, even if you are a former athlete such as myself, because you just don't have the energy that you used to have. Also, I have to hold myself back because I want to work harder than I'm able to"

 

She also gives advice on nutrition during pregnancy:

"Pregnancy isn't 'I can eat whatever I want,' because you have to remember you're going to be stuck with a lot of that weight afterwards that you need to try to get off. So I don't recommend 'grubbing,' admitting she succumbs to the occasional pregnancy craving. I have cravings all the time, even when I'm not pregnant,I made a strawberry shortcake last night.It was great."

 

I love it all.  Congrats to the couple!
