Jewish Leaders Offended By Eddie Long’s “King” Ceremony [VIDEO]

Majic ATL — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 22:18:47 +0000

We posted a video yesterday of a January 29th service at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church where Bishop Eddie Long was crowned a king by Ralph Messer — who claims to be a Rabbi bringing Torah truth to Christians.

“He’s no longer a commoner,” said Messer. “He’s not on the Earth! He’s raised from Earth into a Heavenly realm! He’s raised in a prophetic position…God has made a prophet out of you.”

During the ceremony Eddie Long was also wrapped in a sacred Torah scroll and carried upon a throne. Messer claimed the Torah scroll was 312 years old and “may still have the dust of Auschwitz and Birkenau,” referring to the Nazi extermination camps in Poland where millions of Jews were killed during the Holocaust.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution spoke with several metro Atlanta Jewish leaders who found the ceremony offensive to Judaism, including Bill Nigut, Southeast Regional Director of the Anti-Defamation League.

Rabbi Joshua Heller of Congregation B’nai Torah in Sandy Springs told the AJC that he would never wrap a Jewish person in a Torah scroll, saying he found the symbolism off-putting.

In a statement released through New Birth, Messer said critics misunderstood his intent.

“My message was about restoring a man and to encourage his walk in the Lord,” Messer said. “It was not to make Bishop Eddie L. Long a king.”

Messer added that Sunday’s ceremony “was simply a way of bringing honor to a man who had given his life to the Lord and had given so much to his church, the Atlanta metro area and throughout the world.”

Are You Ready For “The Real Preacher Wives of Atlanta?”

Majic ATL — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:38:21 +0000

For those of you who just can’t get enough of Nene, Sheree, Phaedra, Cynthia, Marlo, Kim and Kandi, those vivacious southern vixens from the Peach State, TLC has something that is sure to peak your interest.

Partnering with True Entertainment, the production company behind The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the network announced that it is working on a project tentatively titled Preacher Wives that will follow the lives of the “First Ladies” of Atlanta churches, reports the Hollywood Reporter.

In a statement, True Entertainment president, Steven Weinstock, shared his excitement about this unexpected partnership and also the rationale behind the new series:

“We are excited to work with TLC to profile the lives of these strong-willed women. With most praise in religious communities directed towards male preachers, we are thrilled to give these remarkable ladies the spotlight they crave and deserve.”

The series will follow the women as they preside over their husbands’ congregations, as well as shadow their private lives and the conflicts that inevitably arise when trying to balance both, reports THR.

It should come as no surprise that TLC has decided to jump into the Wives fray. The Real Housewives franchise has proven to be a goldmine for Bravo, with an estimated $35.6 – $162 million generated in ad revenue within the last two years. With the copy-cat success of VH1′s Basketball Wives and Mob Wives, we can probably expect the same cat-fights and shenanigans from Preacher Wives; only this time, it’s for the Lord.

TLC has yet to announce the airdate.

Don Cornelius, the creator of Soul Train, was found dead in his California home of an apparent suicide, TMZ reports. His body was found at 4am PT with a gun shot wound to the head which authorities have deemed as a self inflicted wound.

“During Don’s bitter divorce proceedings in 2009, he told an L.A. judge he was suffering from ‘significant health issues’ and wanted to ‘finalize this divorce before I die.’”

“Soul Train” changed the landscape of television when it debuted in 1971 and ran until 2006.

Officials have notified Don’s family. Cornelius was 75.

Strawberry Letter: What Is Wrong With Me? [AUDIO]

Strawberry Letter: What Is Wrong With Me?

I am a married mother of two that had an affair with someone from my past 2 years ago. I love my husband but at times we have our ups and downs like in any marriage. A few years ago I was contacted by an ex-boyfriend from my childhood. We were really young and never consummated our relationship because we were just kids. Well, we were in constant contact for a few weeks and finally met up to see each other after all of these years.

I truly liked this guy when I was a young girl. He was such a sweet person. Well we had an affair (we are both married) and I cannot get this man out of my head no matter what I do. Even though he broke it off with me because he knew that if we kept things going we would eventually get caught, I still have strong feelings for this man. We keep in touch once a month by text or maybe a phone call here and there. I have tried to just not contact him but then I will get a text or call from him just to say hi. He does not ask for anything other than to ask how I am. He does not ask me for sex or to meet up with him. So it’s just us catching up a bit.

I was so ready to leave my husband if this man told me that he wanted me to. He did not of course. So over time it has gotten easier but I just cannot stop loving this man. We had a very intense relationship for about 6 months. I know that we will never be the way were but I just want to get this man out of my head. I will never confess to this as it would destroy both of our families. I just wonder if this man ever felt anything for me other than lust. He has told me that he cares for me deeply and that is why he stepped back from things. I am not sure if that is true or if he just wanted to end things with me and was not sure how to do it. Either way, I need closure from somewhere.

I just want your take on this.

Is Ted Turner Marlo Hampton’s Of “RHOA” Sugar Daddy?

Majic ATL — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:46:12 +0000

For the longest time we have wondered how Marlo Hampton, of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” lives the lavish lifestyle she portrays on TV.

Until last week, we had no clue as to where her funds came from. That was until cast-mate Sheree made a startling claim that Marlo sleeps with an 80-year-old white man to get money!

According to a source:

“Ted Turner was Marlo’s sugar daddy. My understanding is that Marlo is one of the reasons why Jane Fonda divorced Ted Turner.

Ted Turner is the ‘sponsor’ who financed the The Red Carpet Boutique Marlo had at the Perimeter Mall in ATL. Marlo knows how to get money, she’s a true hustler.”

CNN founder Ted Turner is allegedly worth over two billion dollars!

Drake Says He Will Not Respond To Common Diss: “It’s A Ploy For Attention”

Majic ATL — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:40:21 +0000

Hip hop fans hoping for an all-out lyrical battle between Common and Drake just got their hopes dashed.

In an exclusive interview with Nahright.com, Drake killed the hopes of any hip-hop fans (or proud Canadians) who thought he’d respond to Common’s diss on the “Stay Schemin” (REMIX).

While on the set of the “The Zone” video featuring The Weeknd, Drake broke his silence about the Common diss:

So people want to know: will you respond to Common?
No. Because despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a “hip hop moment” or a “battle for the sake of musical integrity”…it’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album. More than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story.

Wow. If that’s how he felt, why did he respond to “Sweet” in the first place? To read more about why Drake is falling back and his shots at Vanessa Bryant CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL INTERVIEW.

Strawberry Letter: My Husband Likes To Talk To His Female Co-Worker On The Phone

Dear Steve and Shirley,

I have been married to my husband for 3 years, together for 8. We have had a great relationship so far, but I have this one pet peeve that I can’t get over. He is a gregarious man, gets along with men and women of all ages and races and shapes and sizes. Needless to say, he gets along well with women as well as men. He has always had female friends at work that he would talk about as well as other team members, but this was was a little different.

He talked about her saying that she was just like him, they have the same personality, they get along so well, she is funny, “we have such great chemistry” was the most difficult to hear. Overall, she’s beautiful, funny, and has the same likes and laughs at the same jokes. He talks about her regularly and now sometimes he comes in the house talking on the phone with her. He doesn’t hide with the phone, but it makes me uncomfortable and feel that this is a breeding ground for becoming too close to a female co-worker.

I have addressed this with him and let him know that it makes me feel uncomfortable that he is building a close relationship with her. He says she is just like one of his male coworkers and a member of the work team. He said she is skinny with no body, so she doesn’t appear sexy to him, but she has bigger boobs than I do, so I don’t see how that is even realistic. I told him before and today I told him that I don’t want him to talk with her anymore on the phone outside of work hours. He was very upset saying that I should trust him and that no matter what they always remain professional and platonic. He will not stop talking with her even though it makes me uncomfortable.

What is happening? Does he not respect my needs as his wife? He is the one calling her, not otherwise. He calls himself her life coach. I just want to be respected.

Please help.
