Colin Powell ENDORSES President Barack Obama AGAIN, President Obama REVEALS Why Donald Trump DOESN'T Like Him

Posted: 25 Oct 2012 07:22 AM PDT

This morning, POTUS Barack Obama received a glowing endorsement from Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who described his policies as "solid." Watch the endorsement inside and see President Obama joke about why Donald Trump doesn't like him on The Tonight Show.

For the second time, Colin Powell (who's a registered Republican) endorsed POTUS Barack Obama saying, "I voted for him in 2008 and I plan to stick with him in 2012 and I'll be voting for he and for Vice President Joe Biden next month."

The former Secretary of State explained his endorsement on The Early Show saying,

"When he took over, the country was in very very difficult straits. We were in the one of the worst recessions we had seen in recent times, close to a depression. The fiscal system was collapsing. Wall Street was in chaos, we had 800,000 jobs lost in that first month of the Obama administration and unemployment peaked a few months later at 10 percent. So we were in real trouble. The auto industry was collapsing, the housing was start[ing] to collapse and we were in very difficult straits. And I saw over the next several years, stabilization come back in the financial community, housing is now starting to pick up after four years, it's starting to pick up. Consumer confidence is rising."

He continued,

"So I think generally we've come out of the dive and we’re starting to gain altitude. It doesn't mean we are problem solved, there are lots of problems still out there. The unemployment rate is too high. People are still hurting in housing. But I see that we are starting to rise up. I also saw the President get us out of one war, start to get us out of a second war and did not get us into any new wars. And finally, I think that the actions he's taken with respect to protecting us from terrorism have been very, very solid. And so I think we ought to keep on the track that we are on."

 

Have you already decided on your vote?

Also in politics.......

 

If you have ever wondered why Donald Trump seems to have it in for President Obama, all questions were jokingly answered last night on The Tonight Show.  The President was asked by Jay Leno if he knew where all this tension came from and the answer will make you laugh.  Watch it above.....

Karrueche GOES "Native American" For CARVING Party + Rihanna's BESTIE Melissa BLASTS "Someone" As A "Rice Cake"

Posted: 25 Oct 2012 06:19 AM PDT

Chris Brown's ex Karrueche posted pics from her Pumpkin carving party where she dressed as a Native American!  See the pics inside and find out about some interesting attacks from Rihanna's camp that have been directed at Karreuche. 

 

Karrueche Tran's been in good spirits lately (shown above at her Pumpkin carving party) despite attacks being sent her way from Rihanna's camp.  A few days ago when a photo of Karrueche pumping gas and being given a few dollars by Chris Brown's bodyguard was posted online, Rihanna's cousin Leandra added her own tagline to the pic......

 

Karrueche later tweeted "people will believe anything they read" which could have been a response to the diss.

Meanwhile, RiRi's bff Melissa (mforde11) posted an interesting rant on Instagram that began with "I don't everrr do this but dezzzhoswannaholdmeback" and includes her calling someone a rice cake (which is seen as a swipe at Karrueche's Asian roots).

 

Now......Rihanna's added in a few words telling Melissa to calm down.

 

Rihanna also tweeted "#Unapologetic" which could have been at Karrueche or just album promo......

Posted: 24 Oct 2012 02:11 PM PDT

Celebrity hairstylist Keith Campbell celebrated his book launch alongside ROC NATION artists Bridget Kelly, Melanie Fiona, & Chrisette Michele yesterday.  See photos inside and find out how Brandy did on the charts.

 

Last night, celebrity hairstylist Keith Campbell's Decide To Be Beautiful book launch was held at the Limelight.  And his celeb friends like Melanie were on hand to get some shopping in.

Melanie also hit the stage and performed for the audience.  I liked this outfit till I got to this pic.

Her Roc Nation labelmate Bridget Kelly was spotted shopping the new fall looks from ModaListas.  Cute dress.

And it looks like her hair is already styled for Halloween ala Morticia.

She also posed with some of the models.

And later, Bridget, Melanie and Keith all posed with Monica Phromsavanh, CEO of ModaListas.

 

In other entertainment news...

After weeks of promotional appearances on tv, radio and online, Brandy's hard work paid off as her first album in four years, Two Eleven, debuted at #1 on Billboard's R&B albums chart and #3 on the Top 200.  Nielsen SoundScan reports 64,700 copies were sold in its opening week.  Not as big of a number as Brandy's camp would have hoped for, but it still landed her in some top spots.

Congrats Brandy!

Keri Hilson ROCKS THE STAGE In Atlantic City + Shyne BLASTS Kendrick Lamar's ALBUM As "Trash"

Posted: 24 Oct 2012 12:39 PM PDT

  

Keri Hilson performed in Atlantic City over the weekend. See pics from her show and find out why Shyne is blasting Kendrick Lamar over Twitter....

Though we haven't heard much from her lately, Keri Hilson can still book a show and pack a club as she performed at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City for ‘The Pool After Dark’ on Sunday.

Keri is rumored to be working with folks like Chris Brown on her new music but she is staying mum about her plans.

 

In other music news.....

Shyne used Twitter to blast Kendrick Lamar's good kid, M.A.A.D. city last night, leaving folks to wonder was it hating or was he just disappointed?  Esp. because Kendrick's album is pretty hot.

First he gave him props for having talent.....
 

But then he jabbed him and said the album didn't live up to his expectations....

After folks started jumping on him, he said, 

 

Kendrick (and his friends like Schoolboy Q who said he was surprised Shyne had internet) did come back at Shyne with a few comments of his own saying, 
"We all know @OriginalSHyne AIN'T EATIN!!!!! ****** ain't Had a Hot verse since 01 AND Surprise He got INTERNET."

 

So.....was Shyne out of line or just expressing his opinion on a product he had high expectations for?

NEWS: Police REVEAL DETAILS And Identity Of SHOOTER Who Shot Chuchgoer INSIDE Creflo Dollar's Megachurch

Posted: 24 Oct 2012 10:26 AM PDT

In Atlanta, a former World Changers Church International employee reportedly shot and killed a man during this morning's (Wednesday) prayer service.  Get details about the incident inside.....

 

Members at Creflo Dollar's Atlanta megachurch witnessed a murder at point-blank range this morning when a former employee shot and killed a man leading a prayer.

Sources say 52-year-old Floyd Palmer calmly walked up to a 39-year old volunteer, who was leading a prayer at the time, and shot him at point-blank range.  Witnesses say Floyd calmly walked out of the church, wearing a suit, after the shooting and was seen leaving in a Black Subaru.

There were over 20 witnesses in the chapel who saw the shooting and who were in shock because they knew the shooter. Floyd is being described as a former employee of the church who resigned in August 2012.  

The victim was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to Fulton County police Cpl. Kay Lester.

So far, Creflo Dollar has not released a statement and witness are being interviewed.  We will keep you posted as details are still emerging and the suspect is still on the loose......

Church is no longer a safe heaven from murder?  Sad day.

Beyonce Is BACK With PEPSI -- Spotted On The Set Of New Video Campaign

Posted: 24 Oct 2012 09:56 AM PDT

Beyonce Knowles is returning to her role as Pepsi spokeswoman, a role she took on back in 2002.  Check out the first pic of BKC shooting her fifth Pepsi ad inside...

Beyonce's been starring in plenty of Pepsi commercials, with her first directed by Spike Lee, and alongside fellow Pepsi spokespeople Jennifer Lopez & David Beckham.  But we're told that this time around, Bey's role won't be your typical front woman starring in ads, but it will be MAJOR.

Pepsi sponsors the Super Bowl Half Time show, which she will be rocking the stage for February 2013.

And The Carters may have lost that trademark for daughter Blue Ivy's name.  But we're sure they have a few tricks up their sleeves on how to brand their little munchkin.  And Bey's up to her own branding tricks as she dips back into work.  In her newest ad, the 31-year-old was spotted in a gold knee length pencil skirt, green sweater and blind hair pulled up as she stands against a Pepsi machine.  Time will tell what this all turns out to be...

Check out the flashback of Bey's first Pepsi commercial a decade years ago and another with Britney Spears, Pink & Enrique Iglesias:

 

 

The Randomness:

1.  Nicki Minaj will be one of the performers of the 40th Annual American Music Awards. 

2.  Without giving him anymore publicity for his 12p f**kery he just released about President Obama, it must be said that Donald Trump is one of the most disgusting people in America who has a platform to speak.  The level of disrespect, condescending demands & notions, and entitlement has reached an all time high today with his newest "demands" of our President.  Demands that must be met 'to Trump's satisfaction."   We get that it's insanely hard for you to respect a black man with more credentials and more class than you will ever have in any aspect of your life, but stop being a traitor to your country by making slanderous accusations out of thirst for your own fame.  Any respect for Donald Trump has been 100% LOST.  Respect Obama.  Respect the Office of President. Good day.
