Man Who Started TV Network To Show Muslims in Positive Light, Beheads Wife

A Buffalo, NY man who started a TV network to show Muslims in a positive light, beheaded his wife who provided the inspiration for the network, according to police.

Muzzammil Hassan, 44, is charged with 2nd degree murder in the brutal beheading of his wife Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37. The murder took place on Thursday (2/12) in the Orchard Park office of their company, Bridges TV.

The NPR (National Public Radio) profiled the Hassans in 2004. They talked about starting “A new cable network for Muslim-Americans” after 9/11 to “inform and entertain Muslims and, at the same time, give viewers who aren’t Muslims a glimpse into” their culture.

They described traveling from Buffalo to Detroit a few weeks after the September 11th terrorist attacks, and came up with the idea for the new network after hearing some “derogatory remarks about Muslims” on the car radio.

The couple separated last year and police say the victim had an order of protection against her estranged husband.

The murder weapon was not recovered.

Obama EBONY Cover Largest Selling in Magazine History

EBONY magazine announced today that its January 2009 issue, featuring President Barack Obama, reached the highest sales in the magazine’s 67-year history. With newsstand sales topping 405,000 — more than double an average month — the issue was in high demand at retailers across the country and timed just after his election. This issue featured President Obama’s first and exclusive print interview and photo shoot after his Nov. 4 victory. The exclusive interview served as the centerpiece of the special collector’s edition, which chronicled the rise of Barack Obama to the most powerful position in the
world.

The commemorative issue, now available online, also offered readers never-before-seen photos, insightful commentaries from all age groups and President Obama, in his own words. And subscribers received the special edition with a first-ever gold EBONY logo.

“The magnitude of President Obama’s historic victory demanded that EBONY magazine pay tribute to such an achievement with a commemorative issue. Our mission for over six decades has been to tell our stories like no one else can,” said Linda Johnson Rice, chairman and CEO of Johnson Publishing Company, Inc., based in Chicago.

For those readers and President Obama fans who were unable to pick up a copy while on newsstands, the issue and special posters of the cover are available here.

15-Year-Old Girl Has a Baby with a 13-Year-Old Boy

Feb. 13, 2009 (UK)--Baby-faced Alfie, who is 13 but looks more like eight, became a father four days ago when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth to 7lb 3oz Maisie Roxanne.

He told how he and Chantelle, 15, decided against an abortion after discovering she was pregnant.

The shy lad, whose voice has not yet broken, said: “I thought it would be good to have a baby.

“I didn’t think about how we would afford it. I don’t really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me £10.”

Alfie, who is just 4ft tall, added: “When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble. We wanted to have the baby but were worried how people would react.

“I didn’t know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it.”

Alfie's story, broken exclusively by The Sun today has sparked a huge political storm with Tory leader David Cameron saying: "When I saw these pictures this morning, I just thought how worrying that in Britain today children are having children.

"I hope that somehow these children grow up into responsible parents but the truth is parenthood is just not something they should be thinking about right now."

PM Gordon Brown refused to comment directly on the story but said it was important that the Government did all it could to prevent teenage pregnancies.

Alfie’s dad Dennis yesterday told how the lad does not really understand the enormity of his situation — but seemed desperate to be a devoted and responsible father.

He wanted to be the first to hold Maisie after the hospital birth. He tenderly kisses the baby and gives her a bottle.

And Dennis, 45, said: “He could have shrugged his shoulders and sat at home on his Playstation. But he has been at the hospital every day.”

Maisie was conceived after Chantelle and Alfie — just 12 at the time — had a single night of unprotected sex.

They found out about the baby when Chantelle was 12 weeks pregnant.

But they kept it a secret until six weeks later when Chantelle’s mum Penny, 38, became suspicious about her weight gain and confronted her.

After that Alfie’s family told only those closest to them for fear he would be “demonised” at school.

Chantelle gave birth to Maisie on Monday night after a five-hour labour at Eastbourne Hospital, East Sussex.

Last night she told The Sun: “I’m tired after the birth. I was nervous after going into labour but otherwise I was quite excited.”

Chantelle told how she discovered she was expecting after going to her GP with “really bad” stomach pains. She said: “Me and Alfie went. The doctor asked me whether we had sex. I said yes and he said I should do a pregnancy test. He did the test and said I was pregnant. I started crying and didn’t know what to do.

“He said I should tell my mum but I was too scared.

“We didn’t think we would need help from our parents. You don’t really think about that when you find out you are pregnant. You just think your parents will kill you.”

But Penny figured out what was going on after buying Chantelle a T-shirt which revealed her swelling tum.

Chantelle admitted she and Alfie — who are both being supported by their parents — would be accused of being grossly irresponsible. She said: “We know we made a mistake but I wouldn’t change it now. We will be good loving parents.

“I have started a church course and I am going to do work experience helping other young mums.

“I’ll be a great mum and Alfie will be a great dad.”

Chantelle and Maisie were released from hospital yesterday. They are living with Penny, Chantelle’s jobless dad Steve, 43, and her five brothers in a rented council house in Eastbourne. The family live on benefits. Alfie, who lives on an estate across town with mum Nicola, 43, spends most of his time at the Steadmans’ house.

He is allowed to stay overnight and even has a school uniform there so he can go straight to his classes in the morning.

Alfie’s dad, who is separated from Nicola, believes the lad is scared deep down.

He said: “Everyone is telling him things and it’s going round in his head. It hasn’t really dawned on him. He hasn’t got a clue of what the baby means and can’t explain how he feels. All he knows is mum and dad will help.

“When you mention money his eyes look away. And she is reliant on her mum and dad. It’s crazy. They have no idea what lies ahead.”

Dennis, who works for a vehicle recovery firm, described Alfie as “a typical 13-year-old boy”.

He said: “He loves computer games, boxing and Manchester United.” Dennis, who has fathered nine kids, told how he was “gobsmacked” when he discovered Alfie was to be a dad, too.

He said: “When I spoke to him he started crying. He said it was the first time he’d had sex, that he didn’t know what he was doing and of the complications that could come.

“I will talk to him again and it will be the birds and the bees talk. Some may say it’s too late but he needs to understand so there is not another baby.”
Chantelle’s mum said: “I told her it was lovely to have the baby but I wish it was in different circumstances. We have five children already so it’s a big financial responsibility. But we are a family and will pull together and get through.

“She’s my daughter. I love her and she will want for nothing.”

Last night Michaela Aston, of the anti-abortion Christian charity LIFE, said: “We commend these teenagers for their courage in bringing their child into the world.

“At the same time this is symptomatic of the over-sexualisation of our youngsters and shows the policy of value-free sex education just isn’t working.”

Today Sussex Police and the local council's children services said they have investigated the case and pledged continued support for the young parents.

Britain’s youngest known father is Sean Stewart. He became a dad at 12 when the girl next door, 15-year-old Emma Webster, gave birth in Sharnbrook, Bedford, in 1998. They split six months later.

UPDATE:

Here's the video of the interview that was done.

Stars Deny Being Textually Active With Chris Brown

According to E!:

Following reports that Chris Brown and Rihanna's blowout may have been started by a text message from another woman, several celebs are stepping forward to deny their involvement.

A finger had been pointed at Paris Hilton after she was seen hanging with Brown at a pre-Grammy party Friday night. But Paris shot down the report today, telling Radar: "I was not 'all over him' as some magazine reported. I said hello and that was it. I love Rihanna and that never happened."

Songbird Leona Lewis also denies anything happened after they chatted at a party on Saturday...

"Leona was at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party with her family and boyfriend and had nothing whatsoever to do with any argument that may have ensued between Chris and Rihanna," a spokesperson from her record label tells E! News. "Any allegations that the pair had flirted are completely false."

In fact, it was Rihanna who introduced Leona to Chris, a source tells us. “Leona was seated with her family and long-term boyfriend, Lou Al-Chamaa, at a table near Rihanna and Chris at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party...She said something like "hello," and they exchanged pleasantries for a couple of minutes.”

Also distancing herself from the incident is singer and actress Keisha Chanté, who stepped forward to deny her involvement.

"She was nowhere near Rihanna or Chris Brown," her manager said. "She had nothing to do with any of that."

I did not have TEXTual relationships with that man!

Tameka Went Through Cardiac Arrest During Lipo??

A rep is speaking out about Tameka Foster’s Surgery Slip that almost killed her:

A spokesman for Tameka Foster Raymond’s surgeon, r&b singer Usher’s wife, says the mother of five is recovering after slipping into cardiac arrest during a liposuction
procedure. According to Ellen Dastry, spokeswoman for plastic surgeon Silivio Sternman, Raymond went into cardiac arrest…… while being anesthetized for a ’simple liposuction’ “but was revived in less than a minute by heart massage.” Dastry, who spoke with the Associated Press also states Raymond was then placed in an induced coma before being taken to the intensive-care unit, a procedure Dastry she says is “absolutely normal” and performed in order to “avoid unnecessary complications.” Sternman and Dastry’s statements follow a report issued by Brazilian news source G1, that said Raymond experienced complications and was placed in an induced coma. According to sources, Tameka Raymond remains hospitalized at the reportedly ‘posh and better equipped’ Sirio-Labanes Hospital.

Mario's "Emergency Room" does not Involve Rihanna!!

Mario says Rihanna hasn't recorded 'Emergency Room" Yet:

R&B singer MARIO has spoken out about reports he has recorded an ironic new song with RIHANNA, called EMERGENCY ROOM, explaining the track was just a demo he sent to the UMBRELLA star. Comments Mario made during a TV interview following Rihanna’s Sunday morning (08Feb09) fight with boyfriend Chris Brown have been misconstrued - making it look as if his upcoming vengeance song is the singer’s next duet. Ironically, Rihanna was in the emergency room seeking medical attention after her fight, but Mario insists……reports she’s recording Emergency Room with him are wrong. The song has been leaked online - and appears to feature Rihanna, but Mario insists it’s not her. He tells Vibe magazine, “This was a rough cut that I was working on and wanted to present it to Rihanna and her record label. “Those aren’t Rihanna’s vocals on the song at all. The record was far from done. I’m still proud of the record and want to make sure the truth is out there.” Rihanna has returned to her native Barbados following Sunday’s drama. She has cancelled two upcoming performances in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Mario is the modern day Nostradamus.
