What’s even more shocking about this terrible story is that she won’t get any jail time for it.</p> <p>Otty Sanchez, a 34-year old, was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the death of her child, Scott Wesley Buchholz-Sanchez. Prosecutors accepted the plea deal after learning that the woman thought that the devil made her kill her child. </p> <p>The baby was found in a bedroom with three of his toes chewed off, his head severed and his brain ripped out. Police are saying that the child’s mother ate the boy’s toes and a piece of the brain before stabbing herself in the chest and throat. In the 911 call made by her sister, Sanchez can be heard in the background screaming, “I didn't wanna do it! He told me to!"</p> <p><a href="http://blackbloggers.wordpress.com/2010/07/07/woman-kills-her-child-and-eats-his-brains-mental-health-system-on-trial/">click to read</a></p><div class="wlWriterHeaderFooter" style="margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script></div> Black Celebrity Gossiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09837116912364075009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7106575205112484862.post-960515604251095052010-06-28T09:59:00.001-07:002010-06-28T09:59:56.125-07:00The BlackLash Against BET<p><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/author/dr-boyce-watkins/"><img alt="Dr. Boyce Watkins" src="http://www.thegrio.com/system/mt-static/support/assets_c/2009/06/KatieSchuering_092708_BoyceWatkins_Card3_096[1]-thumb-60x60-7600.jpg" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/author/dr-boyce-watkins/">Dr. Boyce Watkins</a></p> <p>Author and Finance Professor at Syracuse University</p> <h5><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/entertainment/why-there-should-be-a-black-backlash-against-bet.php">Why there should be a black backlash against BET</a></h5> <p>10:43 AM on 06/28/2010</p> <p>OPINION - Through the years, the BET Awards have become a staple of unhealthy and counter-productive broken black family fun...</p> <p><a href="http://www.thegrio.com/entertainment/why-there-should-be-a-black-backlash-against-bet.php">> MORE</a></p><div class="wlWriterHeaderFooter" style="margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script></div> Black Celebrity Gossiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09837116912364075009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7106575205112484862.post-75653313668026713652010-06-23T15:55:00.001-07:002010-06-23T15:55:03.672-07:00Dr. Boyce: Rappers Pretending to be Dope Dealers<p><img alt="" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.bvonsports.com/media/2010/06/rickrosslawsuit.jpg" vspace="4" border="1" /> </p> <p>by Dr. Boyce Watkins </p> <p>I never bought into the hype that <strong>Rick Ross</strong> was a fraud. Everyone seemed to feel that because he was found to have been a corrections officer in a previous life, that he somehow violated the oath which says that rappers have to be criminals in order to sell records. I don't know how true or false the rumors happen to be, but the fact is that I never cared.</p> <p> <br />However, when I found out that there is reason to believe that the rapper Rick Ross took his name from the notorious drug dealer "Freeway" Ricky Ross, I thought to myself, "This is just stupid. Why can't the brother just be himself?"</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.bvonmoney.com/2010/06/23/rick-ross-gets-sued-by-former-drug-dealer-for-stealing-his-name/">Click to read</a></p><div class="wlWriterHeaderFooter" style="margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script></div> Black Celebrity Gossiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09837116912364075009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7106575205112484862.post-4602165157991543542010-06-22T16:07:00.001-07:002010-06-22T16:07:28.968-07:00Rappers Sue Each Other, Rev.

People asked me what I thought about this, since <a href="http://financiallovemaking.net">I've written a great deal on how to teach your kids about money</a>, and I used a three letter acronym: TAH - "Tacky As Hayell." <br />I respect Diddy and I apologize for having to lean in on him for this one, but as <a href="http://blip.tv/file/3751028">S Tia Brown and I discuss in our latest episode of Financial Lovemaking</a>, you can find ways to show your children love without spoiling them for the rest of the world. By giving his son such an extraordinary gift at such an early age, Diddy may have minimized his son's ability to conceptualize the value of working hard for his success or empathizing with those who are less fortunate. In other words, receiving such overdoses of dopamine at the age of 16 is a sure-fire recipe for depression later in life. </p> <p><a href="http://www.bvonmoney.com/2010/06/14/diddy-son-car/">Click to read</a></p><div class="wlWriterHeaderFooter" style="margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script></div> Black Celebrity Gossiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09837116912364075009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7106575205112484862.post-33730539831508759992010-06-13T07:23:00.001-07:002010-06-13T07:23:22.381-07:00NFL Player Sues Mistress for Credit Card Abuse<p><img alt="" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.bvonmoney.com/media/2010/06/reggiewaynemistress.jpg" vspace="4" border="1" /> </p> <p>AOL Black Voices </p> <p>NFL star <strong>Reggie Wayne</strong> is finding out the hard way that giving your credit card number out to anyone may not be such a good idea. Wayne, who is married, is suing his ummm, girlfriend <strong>Natasha McKenzie</strong>. In the affidavit, Wayne is alleging that McKenzie did it big on Wayne's credit card without asking his permission.</p> <p> <br />As the story goes, McKenzie, who is 26 years old, just needed Wayne's credit card for a "few little things," like paying her cell phone bill and buying a plane ticket. She was allegedly going to buy the ticket to come and visit Wayne to spend "quality time" with him. To Reggie's surprise, Natasha and her friends "got a little jiggy" with the credit card and charged up $95,000 worth of "necessities." Actually, there were 333 necessities on her list, which is the number of charges she allegedly made to the account.</p> <p> <br />Reggie originally took the charges to police in April. He has had the uncomfortable challenge of keeping this information from his wife. McKenzie claims that Wayne knew about the charges all along, and that she is only being scapegoated because either his wife found out about her or he has moved on to another mistress. Either way, this entire situation is a little bit strange. Wayne is not the only athlete to be taken for big money as the result of an affair.

The shooter was a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) officer by the name of <strong>Johannes Mehserle</strong>. Grant was 22-years old at the time of his death, and the shooting was captured by cell phone cameras and disseminated throughout the Internet. Adding insult to injury, the Grant family just found that there will be no African American jurors in the trial of grant's shooter.</p> <p> <br />Jack Bryson, whose sons were with Grant the night he was killed, was angry about the jury selection.</p> <p> <br />"This is like a slap in the face," Bryson told The Associated Press. "This case came all the way to Los Angeles after the judge in Alameda County said they couldn't get a fair and impartial jury there. <br />"This is the best you can do, and you did this in two days. We could've stayed back in Oakland for this."</p> <p><a href="http://www.bvblackspin.com/2010/06/10/oscar-grant-trial-has-no-black-jurors/">Click to read</a></p><div class="wlWriterHeaderFooter" style="margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script></div> Black Celebrity Gossiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09837116912364075009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7106575205112484862.post-6541627210148426062010-06-09T20:45:00.001-07:002010-06-09T20:45:44.757-07:00Gary Coleman Pictures to Be Published in The Globe Magazine<p><a href="http://yourblackworld.com"><img alt="" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.bvblackspin.com/media/2010/06/garycolemanarrested.jpg" vspace="4" border="1" /></a></p> <p>by Dr. Boyce Watkins, AOL Black Voices</p> <p>There has been a great deal of public <a href="http://www.bvonmoney.com/2010/06/08/gary-colemans-wife-is-suspect-but-why-is-that/">speculation of the role that Shannon Price</a>,<strong>Gary Coleman's ex-wife,</strong> played in the actor's death. To make matters worse, some are wondering how <strong><a href="http://www.bvblackspin.com/2010/06/09/the-globe-magazine/">The Globe Magazine</a></strong> got a hold of pictures of a dying Gary Coleman that are set to be released on Friday. Todd Bridges, who co-starred with Gary Coleman on the popular sit-com, "Diff'rent Strokes," was allowed to see the photos in advance of their being published. Bridges was not happy.</p> <p>"It's horrible. It's absolutely horrible. And I hope that whoever is responsible for this, and the people that are involved in this, people that are in the pictures, I hope they burn in hell," said Bridges, when appearing to discuss the issue on Entertainment Tonight. <br />What was most shocking was that even TMZ, a place known for the dirtiest of dirty celebrity gossip, refused to publish the photos. The Globe Magazine apparently has no such standard. A representative of Shannon Price has stated that Shannon is "very hurt by the pictures getting out there." But the problem for Price is that she is actually in the pictures that were taken.</p> <p><a href="http://www.bvblackspin.com/2010/06/09/the-globe-magazine/">Click to read</a></p><div class="wlWriterHeaderFooter" style="margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script></div> Black Celebrity Gossiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09837116912364075009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7106575205112484862.post-45282361389638505202010-05-24T18:20:00.001-07:002010-05-24T18:20:07.726-07:00Killer of Black Students Gets 30 years to life<p><img alt="" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.bvblackspin.com/media/2010/05/newarkkillings.jpg" vspace="4" border="1" /> </p> <p>by Dr. Boyce Watkins, The Institute for Black Public Policy </p> <p>Nearly three years ago, <a href="http://www.bvblackspin.com/2010/04/28/newark-murders/">two black college students and a friend were murdered</a> in a schoolyard in Newark, NJ. Monday, a jury returned guilty verdicts for three of the murders and one attempted murder after deliberating for less than a day. <br /><strong>Rodolfo Godinez</strong>, a 26-year old gang member and native of Nicaragua, was convicted of all charges against him, including multiple counts of robbery, weapons possession and conspiracy. He can get up to 30 years to life for each murder count, and the sentences can be given out consecutively. <br />"This man will never see the light of day," said Robert D. Laurino, the acting Essex County prosecutor. <br />Sentencing for Godinez is set for July 8. His lawyer, Roy Greenman, said,"Obviously, there will be an appeal on a number of grounds," but he declined to state the grounds on which he'd be filing. <br />The prosecution did not assert that Godinez was the one who hacked at the victims with a machete or shot each of them execution-style, in the back of the head. He was argued, however, to be the one who summoned the other gang members to the schoolyard on the night when the murders took place. The murders were particularly chilling because all four of the victims were "good kids" with no criminal history and educational plans for the future. </p> <p><a href="http://www.bvblackspin.com/2010/05/24/newark-killings-suspect/">Click to read</a></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZXslHFrmqOFNaB13v_GA4OqI-eFZpzox8-wmexaHXmXxwtxDIDiKu8-WDnC_LJLsxbnIiKp_4tQvk_ngnsQgv81Z2LSzlJEFOUkclf8Vnoi4bL1OWT2OavEv2aiNtFZtxeYCs2MIOg_9a/s1600-r/ybwlogo.jpg" /></p> <p>Find more black news at: </p> <p><a href="http://yourblackworld.com">Your Black World</a></p> <p><a href="http://blackscholars.blogspot.com">Black Scholars Blog</a></p> <p><a href="http://yourblackpolitics.blogspot.com">Black Political Blog</a></p> <p><a href="http://blackbloggers.wordpress.com">Black News Blog</a></p><div class="wlWriterHeaderFooter" style="margin:0px;

We are being told that there is a 'crisis' amongst black women, particularly educated professional women, who are apparently unable to find a 'decent' black man.</p> <p>Last night, ABC continued once again, with the airing of <a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/nightlinedailyline/2010/04/so-why-is-a-black-man-so-hard-to-find.html">"Why Can't a Successful Black Woman Find a Man?,"</a> a taped discussion featuring Hill Harper, Steve Harvey, <em>The View's</em> Sherri Shepherd and others.</p> <p>There's no doubt that it's a topic that sparks heated debates and discussions amongst black women and men. It has for years. But is it really that bad? Or is the media - now that it has found a hot topic - exploiting this issue for all that it's worth? I'm an educated black woman and I personally have no problem with meeting eligible, educated, great black men. Whether or not I choose to date them is another thing, but they are out there.</p> <p>I am somewhat perturbed by the slew of stories on this topic. They are negative, unhelpful and only serve to perpetuate negative ideas about black men and women which often become self-fullfiling. They basically say 'oh, poor black women. They try so hard yet can't find a decent man ... Boo hoo, black women are victims. Ooh, it's all the fault of those pathetic black men. You know, they have no education or are locked up in jail.' Sorry, but I do not subscribe to that view.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lola-adesioye/single-black-women-are-no_b_547893.html">Click to read</a></p><div class="wlWriterHeaderFooter" style="margin:0px;

You would expect that his status as being the man who represents the future of the black athlete in America would make the NFL happy to have him on the roster of one of their teams. Not only is Rolle brilliant, but he is also tough as nails and fast as lightning. The man has the whole package. <br />But at least according to some NFL coaches, Rolle may not be committed enough to be a part of their league. <br />"We'll have to find out how committed he is," an NFC assistant coach said, repeating the sentiment of five other NFL officials who said the same thing.</p> <p></p> <a href="http://www.bvonsports.com/2010/03/07/myron-rolle-rhodes-scholar/" target="_blank">Click to read</a><div class="wlWriterHeaderFooter" style="margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script></div> Black Celebrity Gossiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09837116912364075009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7106575205112484862.post-87362519968168935812010-03-05T07:41:00.001-08:002010-03-05T07:41:28.957-08:00Black News: FAMU Sex Tape is Probably Fake<p><a href="http://blackscholars.blogspot.com"><img alt="DR.
