I felt the same way as you did! But, let me just set the record straight...Heze IS bisexual like most of these other gospel artists. Don't ask me why they choose to live this life, but it's sad. I attended the Gospel Music Workshop of America last year for the first time and was totally shocked to see all of my favorites switching worse than me! GMWA is nothing but a reunion for them. What is this world coming to???:confused:

All I can say is :eek: !

More on Hezekiah Walker...

I love gospel artists so I'm quite informed about what's going on with these people. Hezekiah Walker's face is paralyzed. Just wanted people to know so we can keep him in our prayers.

Maybe I'm late, but I didn't know this.

According to and article in Sister 2 Sister(I hate to admit it, sometimes I do read this mag). Singer Monica is currently raising a daughter(from a previous relationship her ex bf, Jarvis Knots had from another relationship), because he actually committed suicide 2 years ago. Monica refuses to speak on the specifics surrounding this according to Jamie Foster Brown(Sister 2 Sister publisher).

Yes this came out about 2 years ago. She was there when he commited suicide. She has spoken on the radio before about raising this child. Deep situation is what it is.

R kelly getting divorced
 

A rumor was reported by Tara Thomas on the Frank Ski morining show that Rra's wife has filed for divorce in Chicago courts end of last week.

Del, how did this happen? I wasn't aware that you could have paralysis in the face only. Learn something new everyday.

I don't know the circumstances of the Walker situation, but there is a condition called Bell's palsy that does lead to temporary facial paralysis. My mom got it during FWRC last year. For the most part, she's pretty well healed, but she feels a bit slack in some of her muscles.

From what the rumor mill is saying, Jarvis' brother died of unnamed causes. One day he went to the cemetery with Monica to visit his brother's grave. He was still distraught and ran to the car and locked the doors. He then pulled out a gun and killed himself. Monica is reported to have pulled out her gun and shot through the window to get to him. If this is true, I have two questions:

1. Why didn't you shoot the window out before he had a chance to kill himself.

2. How rough is your cemetery that you have to come packing heat just to visit a loved one?


Like I said, I don't know how much truth there is to the story so please don't shoot the messenger ( No pun intended).

Brandy and baby
 

Congratulations to Brandy and her husband Robert on the birth of
their daughter Sy'rai Iman Smith. Brandy's mom Sonja called us at Atlanta. Gossip to tell us that Brandy had given birth to a 6lb 6oz and 17 in. long baby girl on June 16th after only two hours of labor! Brandy was on her way to church with her parents when she realized that she needed to phone her doctor. After being admitted to the hospital, it was time for the show to begin. All of her family was there including her brother Ray J who recorded all of her yelling and screaming. Sonja said that Brandy took the
labor pains and delivery like a champ. She also said that Sy'rai looks just like Brandy as a baby, "White as snow" and she has Brandy's noise and forehead and Robert's gorgeous hair and thick eyebrows. And check this out Sonja said the baby is singing back to her already with her eyes wide open.

Soon after the baby came Brandy was up, had her clothes on and was ready to go home. She didn't go home until the next day, but the new mommy had gone out twice to get some good vegetarian food as soon as she left the hospital.

They're so happy about their new arrival. In three weeks, Brandy will begin work on her third music video from her album, "Full Moon."

Keep up the good work Brandy...

I have a pic also of the new baby so PM me and I'll email it to you! :D I can't post the pic because its just a .jpeg in my email.

being nosy and all....

Who did Brandy's mom call in Atlanta?

Re: Brandy and baby
 

Three weeks? Isn't that kinda fast?

PM my left eye
 

In case your PM box is full, hit me up with the pic.

3 weeks is fast and the fact that she got up from labor ready to go seems odd to me. After I have my babies, call it quits because I am maxing and relaxing. When her uterus falls out because she is doing too much, that is when she will learn. That New Parent Mentor does not sound like she is doing her job. :eek:

Re: PM my left eye
 

Lmao@uterus falling out...

Brandy, Sonja, and the PM are just "too big for that"

Brandy all out there all OPEN and stuh...ewwwwwwwww.

Now see, the grandmoms from back in the day would have said, YOU nor that baby are going anywhere! I guess it's the NEW GENERATION. :rolleyes: I prefer the "old school" myself.
