Mo'Nique Mad At Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey

Based on reports, Oscar winning actress, Mo'Nique (nee Imes), is angry with fellow talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, for inviting her brother, Gerald Imes, on her show to confess he molested her. Mo'Nique contends Imes lied to Oprah, as did her family during the telecast, to minimize the extent of the sexual abuse. Imes also issued what was perceived as a half-hearted apology.

Mo'Nique

Clearly, molestation and incest is a terrible thing to talk about. However, it must be undertaken honestly within a family, ideally at the victim's choosing, privately or publicly, to begin the healing process.

SPIRITUAL What Is Society Really Teaching Kids

What is society teaching kids and teens. Through television and the internet, they are bombarded on a daily basis, with images of violence, vulgarity, profanity, promiscuity, drug use, greed and covetousness.

As a result, all over the world, there has been a very noticeable spike in criminal misbehavior among the world's youth, so shocking it leaves many adults wondering what kind of world we are living in. No one wants to claim responsibility for it, but they are learning this debauchery somewhere.

If you have children, do not encourage them to be rebellious, wild and heartbreakers. Do not encourage them to sow their oats, as there are STDs out there, condoms cannot protect them from. Do not encourage them to be materialistic or take financial shortcuts in life, as it could lead them into committing crimes.

It you are an individual, who has a podium that reaches many, try to set a good example. Do not lead people's impressionable kids astray, via a negative example. Do not add to the problem, as God is watching you and will hold you accountable.

George Clooney Disrespects Monique At Oscars

Actor and womanizer, George Clooney, is being slammed for his snub of black actress, Monique, at the Academy Awards last week. He along with others gave white actress, Sandra Bullock, a standing ovation when she won for Best Actress (let's not forget that Razzie).

However, as Monique received her Best Supporting Actress Oscar, the crowd stood to its feet...all except Clooney. Maybe he was jealous he didn't win the Best Supporting Actress award, as he is behaving like a real queen.

Side Bar: have you noticed that all of George Clooney's girlfriends look like good friend Randy Gerber's wife, former supermodel, Cindy Crawford, who he was seen ogling on a yacht:

George Clooney will not stand for Mo'nique

You saw this last night if you were following my live tweet-blog, but what was up with George Clooney not standing up with the rest of the audience after Mo'nique won her Oscar? OK, maybe he's just not a standing ovation kind of guy. I can buy that. Um, except when Sandra Bullock won, he gave her a standing ovation. To recap:

Mo'nique: Black

Sandra Bullock: White

Now I'm not going to call him a racist, but I also heard a rumor that later that night, George threw a hissy fit at the Vanity Fair Oscar party after Mo'nique used his water fountain and then had the nerve to sit at the lunch counter. What a jerk he is!

Monique Comments Cause Controversy

Monique

B.E.T. talk show host and actress, Monique, has caused controversy regarding statements she made about her "open marriage." She stated her husband is free to cheat.

The comments weren't the best, as some will interpret it as low self-esteem. She is a pretty woman, who has a burgeoning career. And even if she were broke and considered unattractive, she like all women, do not deserve infidelity. That goes for men too, as they deserve faithful spouses as well.

People should remember that adultery affects their children as well, both emotionally and spiritually and should not be encouraged, as it harms the family unit God created.

Open marriage not ‘deal-breaker’ for Mo’Nique

8:49 p.m. CT, Wed., March. 3, 2010 - Oscar-nominated actress confident in her relationship with husband. Mo'Nique, who stars as an abusive mother in "Precious," says she's very confident in her relationship with her husband.

After knowing each other for over 25 years, Mo’Nique says she’s very confident in her relationship with husband Sidney Hicks — so confident, in fact, that the pair has an open marriage.

“Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me? Yes. That’s not a deal-breaker,” the actress told Barbara Walters in the interviewer’s upcoming Oscar special. “That’s not something that would make us say, ‘Pack your things and let’s end the marriage.’

“What if it’s 20 times?” she said. “So what? We’ve been best friends for over 25 years, and we truly know who we are. Oftentimes, people get into marriages and they don’t know who they’re laying next to. I’m very comfortable and secure with my husband.”...
