The California Commission on Judicial Performance said Wednesday that Superior Court Judge DeAnn Salcido has agreed to resign within five days and never hold judicial office. The panel of judges, lawyers and members of the public says Salcido’s television audition made a mockery of the judicial system and gave the unseemly impression that she was playing to the cameras. It says Salcido shopped around a video of her courtroom proceedings, whch were filmed by the husband of a bailiff. Salcido has been on the San Diego bench since 2002. Alicia Keys and her music producer/rapper husband Swizz Beatz attended a GQ party in NYC Tuesday night to celebrate his recent fashion spread. Swizz took to the DJ booth, where he told the crowd it was Alicia’s first night out since she gave birth to their son Egypt not even four weeks ago. Looking good gurl!
In an excerpt of the book posted on CNN, O’Brien writes that, in 2007, she met privately with Jackson, who complained about the relative lack of publicity that CNN was giving to its black personalities. O’Brien, who has a black mother and a white father, agreed with him. But then, she writes, Jackson complained that there were no black anchors on CNN at all: Does he mean covering the campaign, I wonder to myself? The man has been a guest on my show… I interrupt to remind him I’m the anchor of American Morning. He knows that. He looks me in the eye and reaches his fingers over to tap a spot of skin on my right had. He shakes his head. “You don’t count,” he says. O’Brien writes that she was confused about what Jackson meant — was she not black, or not black enough, or did her show not count to him? “I was both angry and embarrassed, which rarely happens at the same time for me,” she writes. “Jesse Jackson managed to make me ashamed of my skin color which even white people had never been able to do.” Read the full excerpt from “The Next Big Story” here.
Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter Jr., was freed Thursday after serving eight months in a gun case. Asked how it felt to be back, Wayne told the The Times-Picayune: “Like I never left.” Before his incarceration, the rapper recorded the recently released “I Am Not a Human Being,” a top debut on Billboard album charts. The newspaper said the rapper flew earlier Friday to Yuma County, Ariz., to check in for a three-year stint of unsupervised probation for a drug conviction. Authorities said that case will be transferred to Florida, where the New Orleans native now lives.
And Bill Clinton is wishing him the best. The rapper came up in an interview on Tuesday regarding the elections, and Clinton said of Lil’ Wayne: “This guy’s smart, and he’s got ability, and he’s got a new chance now.” Clinton added, “What I hope will happen is that he has a good life now.” The rap star posted one last thank-you note on his blog, weezythanxyou.com (which keeps crashing), to show his appreciation to fans for their support through the months. “I think back to when I first arrived and I had no clue of what I’d be experiencing. I was never scared, worried, nor bothered by the situation. For that, I thank God, my family, and you, my amazing fans. I prayed for you all every night, as I’m aware that I was in your prayers as well,” the rapper wrote, adding, “I will be the same Martian I was when I left, just better.”
The soprano from Queens, New York, who recently played Young Nala in The Lion King on Broadway, passed away after a long battle with acute myeloid leukemia. Doctors had been unable to find a bone-marrow match for a transplant. Tavarez had received an umbilical-cord transplant in late August as an alternative. Tavarez’s struggle struck a chord with Keys and Rihanna, both of whom started their singing careers at an early age. Both had campaigned to get Tavarez the bone-marrow transplant she needed. Tavarez made her Broadway debut in September 2009, playing four of eight shows a week in The Lion King until April, when she was diagnosed. Our Thoughts and prayer go out the Tavarez Family… There’s been very little good news in unemployment figures released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the last few months. But the unemployment crisis has been particularly hard on minority communities. Earlier this year, White House economic adviser Austan Goolsbee, called the minority unemployment rate “shockingly and totally unacceptably high.” Whether it be the jobs crisis, the foreclosure epidemic or the our nation’s vast prison population, there is a growing sense that minority unemployment has hit crisis levels in some areas of the country. Check out our round-up of some of the most shocking statistics about minority unemployment across America.
CBS News says Wall died Wednesday in New York City after a short illness. The former vaudevillian joined the popular children’s show in 1962 as a stage manager before persuading the show’s producers to create its first black character in 1968. He played Baxter and another recurring roll on the show until 1978. Wall was a stage manager for many CBS broadcasts over the years, including “60 Minutes,” “Face the Nation,” and the US Open Tennis Championships. In 1994, Wall was honored with an achievement award by the Director’s Guild of America. The Captain, Mr. Greenjeans and Mr. Baxter……R.I.P
“Everyone wanted to know about the weight loss, the weight gain — how do I do it,” she said. “It’s just talking about my routine, my workout regimen, my nutrition. I wanted to talk about it.” Janet’s body issues go way back to her first acting role, on the 70s television series ‘Good Times.’ “I was actually doing ‘Good Times,’ and on our first day of shooting they bound my chest because they thought my breasts were too big,” she said. “I got the part when I was 10, we started shooting when I was 11 — I was developing early. It made me feel that the way that I am, it’s not good enough. That’s why I decided to call [the book] ‘True You.'” Janet also talked about being married and divorced twice and her upcoming movie, Tyler Perry’s ‘For Colored Girls,’ out November 5.
