Posted in: ,

Bobbi Kristina Brown has been moved from Emory University hospital to an Atlanta rehab facility, but she remains in a coma and on life support. Reports say she was transferred to the new facility because there was no change in her condition and nothing more the hospital, with its limited number of beds, could do to improve her state nearly two months after she was found unconscious and face down in a bathtub in her home.

Despite unconfirmed reports about the family meeting to decide when Bobbi Kristina should be removed from life support, her father Bobby Brown is still praying for a turnaround.

Kanye West Calls Racism A Silly Concept & Has No Problem With White People Using N-Word

Posted in: , , , ,

Kanye West had a sit down with Clique TV in France during the Paris Fashion Week which he recently attended with wife Kim Kardashian. One of the topics that came up was racism and Kanye gave his own interesting perspective which is that racism is a non-thing and that it's outdated and overtaken by recent happenings. He also has no problem with white people using the N-word at concerts or singing along to rap music.

“It’s true that white people use that word at concerts. It’s like when my words get taken out of context. I can say anything I want on a beat, but when I would say it in an interview, it would be taken out of context, and all, ‘Oh, he’s an ego-maniac.’ But it’s like, ‘Wait a second, this is the way people rap.'”

The star sat down with talk show host Meredith Vieira to talk about their break up last year among other things.

"I think sometimes when people have their own insecurities it allows them to act out of character. I've been betrayed," she says. "Again, you just have to grow, you have to grow up and accept responsibilities for the things that you do. I'm not a big fan of people being cowards. I think it's really important to know yourself and understand what you want and get it. I'm in a different place right now."

Spock and his open fingered gesture was a big part of that childhood, and it's so sad that Leonard Nimoy, the original actor who portrayed the extra-terrestial so succintly has now passed on. But that is time and change, which finally gets to us all. Leonard Nimoy made the news a few days ago when he had to go in to hospital for pneumonia. He passed away today at home aged 83. May his soul rest in peace.
