The prosecution has new ammunition against Detroit’s Mayor Kilpatrick.  The newest allegation is that he has even more skeletons falling out of his…cell phone.  More women have been discovered in his text messages.  But, according to the Detroit Free Press, the prosecutor’s spokesperson said there will be “…no new people charged in the investigation ‘at this time’ ”

The mayor has been linked with woman after woman.  Just before his, seemingly, heartfelt display of regret and apology to the city, his wife and church last January, another woman was “uncovered.”  The woman accompanied him at a resort in North Carolina where he was scheduled to deliver a speech for Martin Luther King Day.  Other women include a jamaican woman he allegedly had sex with in a barbershop.  Remember the Alderman in the movie Barbershop telling Eve he’d come by for some ”trim.”  Read more about Detroit’s super freak here.  If you’d like to view the apology and read information about the initial allegations, go here.

It appears that the Emirates territory has become quite the tourist location.  It is known for its high level of luxury, in fact, kingdom-like accommodations.  The feeling must be that if we create a royal atmosphere, we will attract a regal crowd of sophisticates.  If indeed that is the case, don’t have a champagne brunch and invite the Queen’s people because they’re not getting it.  A British woman who actually lives there decided to take a walk on the beach during the brunch and have a little “fun.”  Well, authorities gave her a break the first time, but when they circled back her and “Vince” were at it again and the gloves came off.  They threw her right in jail for her horny little escapade and she is incensed at the thought of them “making an example of her.”  But wait! There’s more.  The Sun reported that the woman, Randy Michelle Palmer, is the “associate publisher for ITP, which produces more than 60 magazines serving the Middle East’s consumer, technology and business markets.”  Read the details here.

American men have fallen into some sort of Babylon status with sexual deviancy at the top of the list of reasons why they are there.  A new book is out there to help them redeem themselves though.  The general editor, Robert S. Scott, Sr., offers some disturbing facts about their dependency on porn, masturbation, and other sexual indiscretions.  Did you know that, “Pornographic movie rentals at hotels increase more during Christian gathering events than at any other time of the year.”  There are similar, maybe more disturbing, gems on his list too.  It seems that the book, “Secret Sex Wars: A Battle Cry for Purity”, may be appealing to the christian community specifically.  Check it out here.

It seems that some of you out there took your stimulus checks and got your freak on!  The adult entertainment industry recently noticed a spike in online viewership right after the checks hit the mailbox.  A Web site that allows you to pay for your “services” through them blew the horn to Adult Internet Market Research Co.; a marketing company that tracks online adult entertainment.  Isn’t it ironic that the porn world still has Bush to thank for its success.  Read all the details here.

Southwest airlines is putting its foot down with families.  First, it ended the courtesy of allowing families with small children to pre-board  last year.  The airline defended the decision saying that families boarding first held up the boarding process.  Now, it’s kicking families off the flight altogether.  It appears that a woman, her four children, and her pregnant sister were flying from Detroit to Phoenix when all hell broke loose.  The family was not allowed to re-board after a layover in Phoenix and now they’re feeling dejected and want compensation for their bad behavior. 

The children were on their first flight and its possible they didn’t even get their captain’s wings before they got out of hand.  Two of the children have disabilities.  One is autistic and the other has cerebral palsy.  Don’t you have a heart Southwest?  Read the details, here.

Now you’re about to hear the tale of a brave ol’ soul who may get her walking papers out of the city of Denver.  A jazz artist by the name of Rene Marie was asked to sing the national anthem at the mayor’s annual state of the city address, but no one thought to ask her “how” she sings it.  She decided months ago to stop singing the national anthem, but left that out when she was asked to perform.  A black man standing behind her during the performance looks both petrified and proud, but ready to back her up if “it” hits the fan.  I guess she said to herself if they’re not going to pay me, I can sing what I want!  Check it out and tell us what you see:
