If you know anything about Olympic runner, Oscar Postorius who is from South Africa, you know he is the first Paralympian to compete in the Olympics. His miraculous achievement has made him a household name at only 26 years old. Now, Oscar has been charged with murder in the death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, 29. So, far he is cooperating with police, but his story just doesn't add up.
According to CNN.com, South Africa has a high crime rate, and it's not unusual for homeowners to keep weapons to protect themselves from intruders. Allegedly, he claims he thought she was an intruder, but police reports reveal there was no force entry and the home is very secure. "Blade Runner,"as they call him cannot deny there were previous domestic incidents at the home. According to NYDailyNews.com, she was found fatally shot four times in his home in Pretoria.
THC readers, this is very sad, God blessed this man to still be able to make the Olympics, although his legs were amputated below the knee when he was a toddler because of a bone defect, according to CNN.com. Possibly, he had so much evil in his heart, he allegedly shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. May Reeva Steenkamp rest in peace.

Celebrity rapper, Rick Ross allegedly states on this following video, he's moving forward after the recent shooting. We noticed the interviewer wanted him to open up about using precaution while out in public, but Rick Ross continued to allegedly say, he's moving forward, making new music and living his life. On this following video, you will realize Rick Ross is staying motivated as though nothing happened. We assume if that's how he makes his income, he has no choice. However, God is the greatest source and will protect him, if he just turns to Him and fully surrenders without shame.
In the meantime, we will keep Rick Ross in our prayers.
After surviving a drive-by shooting last month, Rick Ross spoke out on the incident last night on the red carpet before the 55th Grammy Awards. MTV's Sway Calloway didn't skirt around the
As you know, O. J. Simpson has been serving time for armed robbery in Nevada. His attorneys have been attempting to prove his innocence, because of alleged prejudice in the jury selection. While he is waiting to possibly be released, he has been able to watch television in his prison cell and even hosted a Super Bowl party, allegedly, according to Mail Online. For some convicted celebrities, this is not always the case, they suffer behind bars, just like the average inmate.
If you recall, the Phil Spector, the successful record producer who was accused of murdering Lana Clarkson in his mansion complained he endured a lot of discomfort in prison and asked to be transferred to a safer location. As you know, Spector was very wealthyand it seems like he could pay to enjoy entertainment and also to serve time away from dangerous prisoners. Like we mentioned in our introduction, it is not always the case for some celebrities.
In the meantime, we will keep O. J. Simpson in our prayers.

This is very sad, Alice and Bryan Young, the aunt and uncle of San Francisco 49er's player, Delanie Walker were both killed by a drunk driver. Unfortunately, Walker did not know it would be his last time he would see his beloved aunt and uncle when they surrounded him for the last time at the Superbowl in New Orleans. We ask you, just when will the laws change to give drunk drivers life in prison or the death penalty?
We are so tired of people like Nechole Thomas driving under the influence, it is ridiculous. We feel if legislators would pass laws in every state to take the freedom away from people whom drink and drive, then this sort of stuff would not be happening. However, they will never pass the laws, not unless we could get people like Delanie Walker and others whom have lost loved ones and friends the same way to start petitions to get the laws changed. It is not fair for Thomas only serve time for manslaughter for taking the lives of Walker's beloved relatives, which she will probably only spend several years in prison.
Furthermore, we feel very sad for Delanie Walker who was very much loved and supported by his late aunt and uncle. May Alice and Bryan Young both rest in peace. In the meantime, we will keep Walker in our prayers and pray Thomas repents before it is everlasting too late.

As you probably already know, Chris Brown got into another altercation, this time with Frank Ocean back in late January. In our previous report, allegedly it was Brown's fault that time. However, Frank Ocean posted his response to their alleged fight at his nightclub, claiming he won't press charges against Chris Brown, which sounds like he is a peaceful man.
According to CNN.com, deputies responded to a call of six men fighting over a parking space at a recording studio, according to witnesses. Authorities did not name the man whom witnesses say Brown punched, but Ocean tweeted that it was him. We think that is terrible, evidently Chris Brown has an alleged anger management problem and should seek help, immediately. Thank God Frank Ocean has a kind heart, because if he is so honest to admit how he thought about defending himself as a child, according to his Tumblr page, and decided to just put the past behind him, then his life will turn out for the better. Hopefully, Chris Brown will learn from Frank Ocean's mature reaction to everything that occurred last month.
For many years, married men have impregnated women who kept silent about their love child. However, we beg to differ that Dan Marino actually fathered his child, because a father cares for his children without shame and claims him or her in public. Allegedly, Marino paid this other woman millions of dollars to keep silent about their love child.
In case you do not know who Dan Marino is, he is the former Miami Dolphins celebrity who was a quarterback for the team. To be honest with you, you do not even see attractive white men who look like him anymore, clean cut, masculine and very Conservative looking. We can understand why any woman would be attracted to him, but the fact that he has been married for 28 years should have made Donna Savattere think twice about having an affair with him. According to Mail Online, Marino met his mistress while carrying out his role as a pregame analyst for CBS, where he has worked since 2003. Ms Savattere was 35 at the time of their relationship. Also, according to this same report, Marino's wife is believed to have been staying at their $5 million waterfront home in Fort Lauderdale as news of her husband's affair and love child broke on Thursday morning. It's very sad with all the millions of dollars celebrities earn, some of them choose not to avoid sin that breaks up their long term marriages, which is very unfair to the spouse whom has been faithful during the time of alleged adultery.
It is very sad, Claire maybe able to reside in their $5 million waterfront home, after learning about the news of her husband's past alleged affair, but wealth cannot dissolve the emotional pain. However, she can rise above it all, with or with Dan in her life. God is a healer, no matter who betrays us. A lot of wives like to say, no matter who their husband sleeps around with, they are so fortunate to be married to him, but the pain of being married to a dishonest man is very difficult, but if he changes into a righteous man, healing can take place in the marriage.

We think it is very sad that the son of Nickey Van Exel took his best friend's life, just because he was going to testify against him about being involved in a string of robberies that occurred in Houston. Exel had the audacity to tell the victim's mother, he would find the killer, according to Dallas News, when in fact, he had allegedly shot Bradley Eyo dead in cold blood in his home and placed his wrapped body in a park.
As we told you before, it is very disturbing to acknowledge many celebrity NFL players are getting in a lot of trouble, but even if it involves their children, in this case the son of a famous NBA player, it is still very sad. Nickey Van Exel, the alleged killer's father had played on several NBA teams until he retired back in 2006. Now, the murder allegedly took place in Garland, Texas back in 2010. We do not know, if the killer's father lived in the home or was present at the time the murder took place. However, he will be testify on his son's behalf, according to our second video source.
This is very sad, Nickey Van Exel had his whole life ahead of him, but obviously he got caught up hanging around the wrong people. It does not matter if Exel was the son of a celebrity, Bradley Eyo probably would have been better off not being his friend. A lot of children of celebrities may not necessarily be positive influences, just because their parents are famous people. His father allegedly informed him not to leave the house, after he met with his attorney who allegedly forewarned him not to admit he would testify against him in court. Now, this young man is dead, all because Exel was really a selfish enemy who only cared about himself.
May Bradley Eyo rest in peace and we are praying for his family, including Exel, we hope he repents and eventually accepts Jesus Christ as his personal Savior.

Back in the day, we do not recall many NFL celebrities getting in trouble with the law as they often do in this era. In the 1970's and 80's, it seems like many NFL players were more focused on being a mentor to the youth and not being engaged in criminal activity. Darren Lewis, a former Texas A&M and Carter High School football player is in custody, in connection with a robbery Tuesday at a Duncanville 7-Eleven that left an employee injured, according to DallasMorningNews.com.
Back in 1991, Darren 'Tank' Lewis was drafted by the Chicago Bears, according to Wikipedia.com. After playing three seasons for the NFL team, he was allegedly arrested ondomestic charges.
We wonder why there are so many NFL players not turning their lives around to make a positive comeback, after breaking the law? However, it is never to late for anyone to turn their lives around. For some NFL players, it seems like after they commit a crime or are addicted to drugs or alcohol, they get much worst and just end up dead or in prison. Think about it, they are just like some average black men whom are not celebrities who may become another statistic by choice.
This is very sad, Darren Lewis' life did not have to end up this way. Once he was a popular college football star who probably never thought his career would end with him eventually facing serious charges for armed robbery. We sincerely hope he turns his life around while spending time in prison, so he can encourage other NFL celebrities and college football players to do things different and not make the same mistakes he made in life. In the meantime, we will keep Lewis in our prayers.

On the upcoming interview with Joe Jackson on 'Piers Morgan Tonight', he will allegedly admit he has no regret to physically disciplining his children, because that was his way of keeping them out of trouble. You know, many people like to oppose corporal punishment, but according to biblical standards, children are suppose to be disciplined by the rod, with love. Yes, we know we live in a very modern society, but either we will abide by the Word of God or allow children to go astray such as many of them are going today,unfortunately. Many fans of Michael Jackson like to fault Joe Jackson as though he was using harsh punishment, but many parents of African descent usually obeyed God's Word back in the old days. It's just like people like to blame the preacher for opposing certain sins based on God's Word in our modern society, but really, it's not the preacher's fault, for he is to follow biblical instructions. It's not old fashion, it's Bible. In Proverbs 13:24, it says:'He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.'
Of course, the average black child will complain about how harsh their parents were back in the day, but they fail to admit, the rod of correction based on biblical standards saved them from getting out of trouble. If you recall, the movie about the Jackson family, Joe Jackson would use his belt or switch to whoop those boys, if they did not do their dance steps right or do as they were told, which just did not occur in the Jackson's household, it was all over the nation. African Americans were coming out of the Jim Crow movement and they were still strictly obeying biblical scriptures without regret or shame. We need to go back to those days, for many black children along with other races are out out of order, rebellious and will not obey household rules. We need to go back to the days of obeying biblical scriptures, but not to hurt or harm anyone, but to save their soul from hell and from getting in trouble like a lot of kids out there joining street gangs, selling drugs or becoming prostitutes. So, Joe Jackson probably was not just a strict father concerned about his children becoming big in show biz, but he was probably also very spiritual more than we realize.
Here we have 5 other biblical scriptures on using the rod for disciplining children. However, parents are never to use corporal punishment to hate, harm or hurt the child, but only love them:
Proverbs 19:18 "Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying."
Proverbs 22:15 "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him."
Proverbs 23:13 "Withhold no correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die."
Proverbs 23:14 "Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell (Shoel)."
Proverbs 29:15 "The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame."
On this following video, this is just a snippet of the interview of Piers Morgan's TV show of Joe Jackson discussing how a fan informed him of Michael being taken into an ambulance while he was in Las Vegas.

The children of the late music celebrity took care of business and won a lawsuit of their father's songs. Allegedly, the foundation accused the children of breaching their rights, but obviously, the judge ruled in their favor. The children were represented by their attorney, Marc Toberoff, who brought an anti-SLAPP motion, urging the court to reject the claims, according toTheHollywoodReporter.com.
According to theTheHollywoodReporter.com, Ray Charles gathered most of his children (two were in jail) and told them that they each would be given an irrevocable trust for $500,000. We think it remarkable how Ray Charles cared for the welfare of his children, because in a lot of cases, parents leave this earth for their kids to dispute over their assets. Therefore, it is also remarkable how they all worked to get ther to fight their Dad's song rights termination and won.

As we already know this former American Idol Contestant, Corey Clark was among eight others who allegedly filed a lawsuit against the show's producers for racial discrimination. If you read our previous article, you will recall us sharing our opinion about how ludicrous it was, because he may not admit to being black any other time like some other people who try to claim being another race, allegedly. Now, he is filing a lawsuit against Fox, sounds like he just wants money, since he did not make it as a music star, we are not sure.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, he is suing Fox, for allegedly defaming him in comments made about his exit from the show as well as the alleged affair with Abdul. There are so many things to do in life. We wonder why Clark is wasting his time allegedly trying to squeeze money out of these tv show producers? Why not spend time trying to create his own TV show, instead of making the news as though he was allegedly discriminated against for some reason or another?

Pauline Phillips aka 'Dear Abby' has past away. She was known as America's favorite advice columnist for hundreds of newspapers, which reached over 100 million readers. At almost 40 years old, she began her career in journalism. Phillips was born a twin, but her twin sister, Esther "Eppie" Pauline Friedman Lederer died in back in 2002 at 83 years old, according to CNN.com.
The fact that Pauline Phillips began her career at almost 40 years old is very encouraging for those of you whom have given up on life. A lot of times, many people fail because of 'ageism' which is very similar to racism. However, age is nothing but a number and if you will look at how Pauline wanted to do something and never gave up, then you will begin to think different about yourself. Tip: Ignore people whom refuse to hire you because of your age and just create your own business. What is it you want to do in life, if you are over 35 years old?
According to Huffington Post, Pauline Phillips started her career as a columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle in 1956. Years later, her daughter Jeanne began sharing her work and now she will take over since her Mom has passed away. 'Dear Abby'had been suffering with Alzheimer's for several years. She lived to be 94 years old. May she rest in peace.

We almost want to admit, we saw this coming, The International Olympic Committee has stripped Lance Armstrong of his bronze medal he won back in year 2000. As you know, this is not the first time an Olympic medalist has been asked to return their gold or bronze medals for taking drugs while competing in the Olympic games.
According to CNN.com, Lance Armstrong is also no longer a Tour de France winner. After the news surfaced in the media that he allegedly confessed to using drugs during Oprah's interview, the members of the committee seemed to tuning in. Never before did he admit to ever using drugs, but if you will read our previous article, Oprah allegedly informed viewers on CBS News, she was very satisfied with his responses. This reveals he was not trying to obscure anything from the press or even from millions of viewers, which is a positive thing.
We feel so bad when those whom win medals in the Olympics are sometimes not honest in their careers, but we realize everyone makes mistakes. Lance Armstrong is not the first one to be stripped of his medal and he may not be the last, but one thing is for sure, we hope others learn and not continue the cycle.
