Epitome Of A Bad Mother: Wife And Her ‘Adopted’ Son Caught Gettin’ It In After Failed Murder Attempt!!!

She was having an affair with her ‘son’…and the two plotted to murk her husband so they could collect his life insurance policy!

Via the NY Daily Mail:

A Las Vegas woman, her brother and her adopted son have all been charged with attempting to kill the woman’s husband so as to cash in on a life insurance policy.

Amy Pearson, 42, was also involved in a romantic relationship with her adopted son, 21-year-old Michael Bessey, a police report released Monday stated, and had nearly finalized a divorce with Robert Bessey, 49.

Once the divorce was completed, Pearson would no longer have a legal claim to the $250,000 life insurance policy, the police report said.

On Nov. 14, Robert Bessey was driving his car on Interstate 15 when a gold SUV pulled up next to him and one of the occupants shot him in the neck. Bessey survived the attempt on his life, however, and called 911 with his cellphone.

Surveillence video at a gas station placed Michael Bessey and Richard Pearson, 39, in the van shortly before the crime occurred.

“Michael and Amy were very close,” Robert Bessey told police, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported. Apparently, that closeness was a factor in the divorce proceedings.

Police initially didn’t arrest Amy Pearson, but on the strength of monitored communication between the woman and her adopted son, they built a case against her.

Michael Bessey sent a letter to Pearson shortly after his arrest, and pleaded for his father to drop the charges against him.

“Robert had read the entire letter, which stated, ‘I miss touching you,’” the police report said.

A jailhouse confession made to Michael Bessey’s cellmate also helped police zero in on Pearson.

“He and Amy Pearson were to receive $400,000 in total benefits,” the police report stated. “He was going to buy a truck, his mother was going to pay off her mortgage, and the two would never have to work again.”

Interviewed by police, Amy Pearson’s sister-in-law recounted how Pearson lamented turning to the younger Bessey to kill his adopted father.

“That’s what happens when you send a boy to do [a] woman’s work,” Pearson was reported to have said, according to the police report.

There are speculations that Amy Pearson is actually the biological mother of Michael Bessey; he’s the victims stepson after Robert Bessey formally adopted him when he was younger.

Yuck!

No Dy-ce: Anti-Gay Atlanta Pastor Declines Invite To Participate In Barry O’s Inauguration!

Wonder if God hates flakes as much as he “hates f@#$”? SMMFH

Via AJC

Almost as suddenly as he was chosen, the Atlanta evangelical pastor selected to deliver the benediction at President Barack Obama’s inauguration on Jan. 21 is now out of the picture.

The Rev. Louie Giglio, whose selection to deliver the inaugural benediction sparked nationwide controversy because of his conservative views on homosexuality, dropped out of the coveted spot on Thursday.

“Neither I, nor our team, feel it best serves the core message and goals we are seeking to accomplish to be in a fight on an issue not of our choosing, thus I respectfully withdraw my acceptance of the President’s invitation,” Giglio said in a statement delivered to the White House. “I will continue to pray regularly for the President.”

The decision, which the President’s Inaugural Committee stressed was Giglio’s own, was a display in the swiftness of Washington damage control.

On Tuesday, it was announced that Giglio, pastor of Passion City Church in Atlanta, was chosen to give the benediction. The announcement came just days after Giglio’s church hosted more than 60,000 people at a youth-oriented event at the Georgia Dome.

On Wednesday afternoon, the website ThinkProgress reported that Giglio had given a sermon in the 1990s advocating “recovery” for gays and comparing them to alcoholics. Giglio also said gays will go to hell and called the gay rights movement “not benevolent” in advocating that “the homosexual lifestyle becomes accepted as a norm in our society.”

If this guy is such a lightning rod then why did the White House choose him in the first place??

Giglio was asked to deliver the benediction in large part because of “his leadership in combating human trafficking around the world,” PIC spokeswoman Addie Whisenant said in a statement.

Giglio, who raised $3.3 million for the fight against human trafficking, was asked by Obama to pray during an Easter breakfast at the White House last April. The pastor has helped organize international conferences that draw tens of thousands of young Christians, has co-founded a Christian music label and has written several books.

Whisenant said Giglio was vetted but the PIC did not know about the sermon highlighted by ThinkProgress. “We were not aware of Pastor Giglio’s past comments at the time of his selection and they don’t reflect our desire to celebrate the strength and diversity of our country at this Inaugural,” Whisenant said in a statement.

What’s strange is that the POTUS choose such a diverse group of church leaders to take part in his inauguration in 2009.

The Rev. Joseph E. Lowery of Atlanta, a civil rights icon, was chosen to give the benediction. California pastor Rick Warren gave the invocation and drew criticism from gay rights groups because he was a vocal backer of California’s ballot measure banning gay marriage. And Obama picked New Hampshire Bishop Gene Robinson — the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church — to give another invocation during the inaugural weekend.

Not for nothin’, but it sonds like the PIC found out about Pastor Giglio’s sermon and asked him to step down as opposed to him “CHOOSING” to step down.

Would you have had a problem with a pastor with anti-gay sentiments participating in Barry O’s inauguration??

Yandy Smith Supports Her Boyfriend Despite Child Sex Allegations

It looks like Love and Hip Hop New York newcomer Mendeeces’ 15 minutes of fame might be up before we even cared it even started.

The New York native, who was introduced on the show last week as LHH cast member Yandy Smith’s baby daddy, is reportedly set to stand trial later this month for allegations that committed “inappropriate sexual acts” with a 15-year-old girl 2 years ago.

via North Jersey News

Jury selection began Wednesday in Hackensack for the trial of a hip-hop reality TV reality star accused of “touching” an underage girl in Lodi two years ago.

Mandeecees Harris, a 34-year-old actor on the VH1 reality show “Love and Hip-Hop,” is charged with performing various sexual acts with a 15-year-old girl and inappropriately touching her at his former home in Lodi.

Bergen County prosecutors allege that Harris asked for and received “mouth” sex from the girl and “touched” her on various occasions between September 2009 and April 2010.

He was arrested later that year and charged with aggravated sexual assault, criminal sexual contact and child endangerment. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

And to top it all off, the unconfirmed world on the street is that the teenage girl in question is the daughter of his first babymama…..also know as…..his son’s sister. SMDH!!

Mona might want to do better background checks the next time she picks new cast members.

Break Ups: Britney Spears And Jason Trawick Call It Quits, She Wanted More Kids, He Said “Hell Naw!”

Oops, she’s done it again…SMH

Britney Spears And Jason Trawick Break Up Over Kids

According to TMZ reports:

Britney Spears and Jason Trawick broke up primarily because she wanted to have more kids and he didn’t … TMZ has learned.

Sources directly connected to the couple tell us … Britney, who is 31, loves her boys and desperately wants more kids. Jason, who is 41, is “in another place” and does not want to start a family — although he loves Sean Preston and Jayden James. We’re told the former couple argued frequently about family and this ultimately proved their undoing.

Our sources say … there’s something else — dealing with the Britney empire wore at Jason and “took away his individuality.” Jason wanted to maintain his identity and one of the ways was to expand his business by taking on more clients (he’s an agent) and making more money — this didn’t sit well with Britney.

As for settling up — we’re told it’s simple. There are no outstanding financial issues. Sources say the house Britney just bought — $8.5 mil in Thousand Oaks, CA — was purchased solely with her money and Jason has no claim to it.

Although she and Jason weren’t married, Britney seems like she’s on the road to being the white Halle Berry.

Lets run through the checklist:

-Multiple failed relationships.

-Career on the rocks

-Known to have a mental breakdown or 2

All we need now is for K-Fed and Jason to catch the mean fade and her journey will be complete.

Bolitics: California Lawmaker Proposes Bill To Replace Columbus Day With Native American Day As Gov’t Holiday

0

columbus indians

No love for Christopher Columbus? Seems like it’s about time somebody in the government decided to keep it real.

Via NY DailyNews reports:

Assemblymember Roger Hernandez, a Democrat from West Covina, in Los Angeles County, proposed a bill earlier this week that would replace Columbus Day with Native American Day.

Native Americans are already recognized on the fourth Friday of September, but Hernandez’s bill would shift it to the second Monday in October, a day almost sacred to many Italian-Americans.

California nixed Columbus Day as a paid holiday for state workers during the recession in 2009. Hernandez’ bill would reinstate it.

Hernandez said in a press release that the bill is “inspired by the recognition that the so-called discovery of the Americas by Columbus eventually led to the genocide of Native Americans.”

“We’re not trying to rewrite history,” Hernandez told The Huffington Post. “We just want to provide recognition and credit to the true discoverers of the land.”

“That’s the day we honor Columbus for discovering the Americas, and that’s very unfair to the original inhabitants,” he said.

If the bill is signed into law, California would join Hawaii, Alaska and South Dakota as states who have snubbed the Italian explorer.

A few local governments in California have already dumped Columbus Day in favor of “Indigenous People’s Day,” HuffPo reported.

Italian-American lawmakers in the legislature said they’d fight Hernadez’ proposal.

“As a proud fifth-generation Italian American, I support Columbus Day and the contributions of Italians to California,” state Sen. Cathleen Galgiani told The Los Angeles Times.

With that said we grabbed some of the dumbest insults of all time. Let’s send these stars back to the drawing board.

First AME Church In L.A. Sues Former Pastor For Abusing Church Credit Card

Via LATimes

A month after the oldest black church in Los Angeles sued its former pastor, his wife and a small “cabal” of church leaders for financial improprieties, one of the defendants in the civil suit denied wrongdoing and called the lawsuit a “witch hunt.”

Denise Hunter, wife of embattled John J. Hunter, denied any wrongdoing in an interview with NBC4. The Rev. Hunter was abruptly reassigned last fall as pastor at First African Methodist Episcopal Church after a rocky eight-year tenure.

“We believe the lawsuit is totally frivolous,” said Denise Hunter, who remains president of F.A.M.E. Corporations, the church’s nonprofits. “It’s all part of an orchestration of damaging the reputation of John and Denise Hunter. It’s unfortunate.”

“But, I think for the people who have known me and my husband, the work we do in the community will speak for itself,” she said.

Hunter was moved to Bethel San Francisco in October. Bishop T. Larry Kirkland offered no reason for the transfer, but Hunter’s time as the leader of First AME was overshadowed by controversy.

Hunter admitted to charging $122,000 in personal items on church credit cards, he settled a sexual harassment lawsuit last year, and he was under investigation by the Internal Revenue Service for owing $300,000 in federal taxes.

Surprise, surprise, a corrupt pastor…

First AME has filed a civil lawsuit against the Hunters and other church leaders, accusing them of “holding dictatorial control over [the church] … for their own personal gain.” It also accused Denise Hunter of orchestrating a “coup” to take control of the church’s nonprofit organizations.

Denise Hunter told NBC4 that she considered stepping down as the head of the nonprofit corporations, but decided to fight and defend her name.

“I don’t think I’m the only person who can do this,” she told NBC4. “But for now, I’m the right person to do this.”

How many church pastors have been accused of some sort of shenanigans and it was found that they were completely innocent? Yeah, we thought so….

Fawk You, Pay Me: Kimmy Cakes Demands Kris Humphries Pay Her Legal Fees Since He Refuses To Finalize Divorce Unless She Admits It Was A Fraud

Kim Kardashian Demands Kris Humphries Pay Her Legal Fees For Dragging Out Divorce

The divorce drama between Kimmy Cakes and her future ex-bitter baller boo Kris Humphries seems to be getting messier by the minute. Even thought both parties have moved on to other relationships and even though the marriage only lasted a mere 72 days, the Dumped Hump insists on being the wet blanket that won’t go away.

via Huffington Post

In conjunction with legal handlings that have been drawn out since their October 2011 separation, Kim Kardashian is now saying she wants ex-husband Kris Humphries to pay for her hefty attorney fees.

Because Humphries refuses to officially divorce Kardashian unless she acknowledges his claims that their marriage was a fraud, there’s a chance the couple technically will still be married at the time the reality star gives birth to her and boyfriend Kanye West’s baby in June — and Kardashian is none too pleased about that.

But while people close to Humphries reportedly are urging him to settle the case and walk away, Kardashian is demanding that the Nets player take care of her lawyer’s bill after putting her through this ordeal for a year and a half.

TMZ reports that no evidence has been presented that legitimizes Humphries’ claims. Kardashian feels her 72-day former flame is being “spiteful and vindictive.”

Are we the only ones who think this is all getting a little ridiculous on the Hump’s part? While he’s definitely entitled to make sure he doesn’t get screwed over with the divorce settlement, is he not just as ready for this all to be over as Kim is?
