Share your thoughts on Christina’s performance with me on Twitter.

Never mind whatever substance that is dripping down her leg.

With more vocal runs than Mariah Carey listening to her favorite Teena Marie Pandora station while jogging trails at Runyon Canyon, Christina Aguilera gave Etta James a rousing send-off on Saturday at the City of Refuge Church in Gardena, California by performing the late R&B legend’s signature ballad, “At Last.”

Stevie Wonder also performed three songs, including “Shelter In the Rain” and a harmonica solo for the family members, friends, associates and several hundred fans who attended the two-hour service.

Rev. Al Sharpton, who officiated at the ceremony, opened his remarks by reading a statement from the President. Try not to shade your Uncle Al’s existence too hard, will you? Everybody knows Weeping Wanda is no flake when it comes to cashing in on loading up on King’s Hawaiian rolls, macaroni salad, sweet tea and mourning deaconesses at repast.

“Etta will be remembered for her legendary voice and her contributions to our nation’s musical heritage,” President Obama’s statement read.

Watch X-Tina and her bountiful cleavage wail Etta into the bosom of her next chapter after the jump.

If I didn’t know any better I would think these people were reacting to Rihanna’s latest concert performance or after catching a glimpse Cheri Dennis’ mustache in direct sunlight. How dreadful.

As the world watched North Koreans mourn the death of their leader Kim Jong Il on Monday, some were surprised by and even suspicious of the intense outpouring of emotion seen in the streets of Pyongyang.

Images of North Koreans wailing and throwing themselves on the ground in grief at the foot of a statue of Kim Jong Il’s father, Kim Il Sung, made the rounds after the dictator’s death was announced, showing citizens from all cross sections of the country seemingly devastated by the news. (source)

The pride of Frankie’s uterus, daughter Keyshia Cole, recently uploaded a picture to Twitter of her mourning the passing of a four legged friend at a funeral service. Would you host a memorial service for a pet? Here’s how C+D’s Facebook fam answered:

I cried Tebow tears when I found out my dog died. But nah, bury Khujo in the backyard. — Shauntè

Yeah. I just lost my 2nd cat and it hurts really bad. Pets become a part of your family. — Torria

I have children, and hamsters only live for like 3 hours. So yes I would. — Lajaalma

Not sure if I would hold a memorial service but I would pour out a lil Kibble for my dead homie. — X

It hurt like hell when I had to put my cat down. I had her from 2nd grade until after I graduated college! But a service with her body lying there? FUCK NO! — Patricia

Would you take a pic of it is the question. What the hell is that? Where I grew up you dig a hole in the backyard and call it a day. People find any reason to waste money. Please forgive me I’m not a pet person. — Tiffany

Would anyone hold a memorial service for me? Now that is the question. — Alex

To sell ass is human but to understand the circumstances behind it is divine. No matter how many times pictures of her immaculate vagina are leaked online Wiz Khalifa is standing beside girlfriend Amber Rose in support.

“I could see if that was what she was doing while I’m with her or something like that and it was in a disrespectful way, but it’s nothing like that. It’s not even, like, the pictures or her past is a raunchy past,” says the rapper in the latest issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine.

“She did what she had to do. There’s plenty of powerful women who overcame that, and that’s what she really is, an example of what work and faith in God, you know what I’m saying, can get you into a positive situation. You can make a positive out of a negative,” he said.

“The biggest misconception about Amber is that she wants attention,” he later continued. “Everybody thinks that she does stuff for attention and that she loves attention, but she’s really, really reserved and shy. She just gets attention ’cause she’s dope.”

For almost two decades PigPen’s velcro cornrows have been synonymous with his well-groomed appearance. Now, with one life changing visit to the barbershop the end of an era has now dawned.

Vogue magazine’s April 2011 cover girl Rihanna revealed to the publication the betrayal she has experienced by her estranged father, Ronald Fenty, for selling the rights to childhood pictures without her consent and mouthing off to tabloids for a pay day.

And it just made me want to give the girl a hug and a slice of pound cake.

“It really makes me question what I have become to my father. Like, what do I even mean to him? It’s really strange. That’s the only word I can think of to describe it, because you grow up with your father, you know him, you are a part of him, for goodness’ sakes! And then he does something so bizarre that I can’t begin to wrap my mind around it. You hear the horror stories about people going behind people’s backs and doing strange things, but you always think, Not my family. My father would never do that to me.

That was the first time. My dad went to the press and just told them a bunch of lies. Because he hadn’t talked to me after . . . .  that whole thing . . . He never called to find out how I was doing, if I was alive, nothing. He just never called. He went straight to the press and got a check. And now he does it again.”

From Kanye making his glorious comeback as a negro Moses wearing the Ten Commandments around his neck to Prince’s facial expressions, the 10th Annual BET Awards were filled with welcomed surprises.

One of which caught me off guard was The Rabid Beaver from Tappahannock dancing for his life during his tribute to Michael Jackson. While performing a medley of hits from the late King’s catalog, Chris Brown reached his breaking point during his final selection — “Man In The Mirror,” emoting so much he couldn’t sing a single note.

I think that Chris tears were real but he was not only crying for Michael, but his own mistakes.

“I abused and betrayed the trust of another sibling, my sister, my blood sister,” Imes said. He apologized to the actress, saying, “I’m sorry, Mo’Nique. I’m sorry.”

He added, addressing his sister as if she were there: “It happened. I’m sorry that I was the one who did it to you. I understand your pain. Now let’s share this together.”

The actress did not comment on Imes’ admission. Winfrey said that while Mo’Nique did not want to be interviewed for the show, she gave the talk host her blessing. “She said if your expressing what you had done to her could save one family then it would be worth it,” Winfrey told Imes.

Imes said he himself was molested and he was using drugs and alcohol at age 11. “The drugs weren’t an excuse,” he said. “They just afforded me the opportunity to do the things that was (sic) in the back of my mind that I always wanted to do.”

Mo’Nique shared her story of being sexually abused with Essence magazine back in November 2008:

“I’m not blaming my parents because me and my brother were both their children, and I just don’t know the kind of position they felt they were in,” she says, explaining their reaction when she first told them what her brother had done. “My father was very upset, but it never got mentioned again. I’ll never forget my mother saying, ‘If it’s true, it will surface again,’ and I remember thinking, Why would I lie? Why is there even an if in this?”

Before the 2010 Masters tournament, Nike decided to produce an ad for their biggest cash cow (and serial philanderer), Tiger Woods. Included in the commercial was the necessary ingredients for a public reprieve: black and white color scheme, sad puffy face, and a voiceover from an omnipresent figure.

I guess hoe shit is the new come-up for 2010.
