Israel Houghton Has Not Been Fired By Joel Osteen
Israel Houghton and his new girlfriend, Adrienne Bailon and Pastor Joel Osteen.
There’s been an interesting development regarding a story – sourced from a Radar Online re- port – about Israel Houghton and Joel Osteen’s Lakewood church in Houston.
Jojo Pada, who is Houghton’s personal publi- cist, said – via a statement – that the gospel musician and minister has NOT been put on “indefinite leave” by the church because of his relationship with new girlfriend, star of The Real, and former Cheetah girl, Adri- enne Bailon.
However, it is true that at this time Houghton is not associ- ated with the church ... because he’s taking a “personal sabbati- cal of his own choosing.”
According to Prada, “Israel has been on staff at Lakewood for 15 years since 2001 (not 2011) and actually remains offi- cially on staff. He was never suspended, nor was he put on an indefinite leave but is on a personal sabbatical of his choos- ing. We are happy to answer any questions, and have reps at Lakewood church that will sup- port our claim.”
In 1995, women gathered their girlfriends to hit the movie theaters and watch one of film’s most revered reels. Waiting To Exhale, which is based on a novel penned by Terry McMillan, made view- ers laugh and cry with its relat- able storyline that followed the lives of four best friends and how they handled love and heartbreak.
Directed by famed actor Forest Whitaker, the movie stars Angela Bassett, Lela Rochon, Loretta Devine and the late Whitney Hous- ton. The soundtrack written by Babyface was equally a hit, racking up Grammy Awards for the movie’s lead melody “Ex- hale (Shoop Shoop)” sang by Houston, and listed singing credits from Mary J. Blige, Brandy, TLC, SWV and more.
Twenty years later, talks of producing a sequel to the iconic movie is still bubbling in the

Kelly Rowland Launching New Make-Up Line For Chocolate Girls
It appears as if Beyonce’s politically charged song and video for her new single “For- mation” was just the begin- ning.
According to The Beyhive, Beyonce is set to release a new video in which the moth- ers of slain teens Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown and 12-year-old Tamir Rice are featured. Reportedly, the mothers will all hold photos of
their sons in the clip.
News of the supposed video
isn’t farfetched as both Bey- once and Jay Z have donated handsomely to the Black Lives Matter movement, and report- edly bailed out several Black Lives Matter protesters during the Baltimore Uprisings, which spawned from Freddie Gray’s arrest and subsequent death.
Women of color come in many shades, so it can be frus- trating when it comes to find- ing foundations to match. For women blessed with darker complexions, there just simply aren’t enough options out there. However, Kelly Row- land is here to save the day!
The Grammy award-win- ning singer announced on last Monday to Essence that she’s creating a makeup line for women with rich, brown skin tones.
“My makeup artist Sheika Daley and I are actually start- ing a makeup line we’re making sure we make, well, we’re start- ing off with lashes and then we’re going to have it grow for all women,” Rowland said. “But definitely making sure we

Along with the line, Row- land is on the hunt for the next big girl group on a docu-series called “Chasing Destiny,” which will air on BET on April 5th.

The Coopers are hot on her trail in hopes of being able to finally take down “The Other Side.”
Andrew Wakefield's
Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe has been officially pulled from this year's Tribeca Film Festival lineup after criti- cism from filmmakers. The news comes just a day after Robert De Niro defended his choice to include the anti-vac- cination documentary in the festival's schedule.
De Niro, co-founder of the film festival, was criticized for including the film earlier this week by documentary film- makers including Penny Lane, who wrote an open let- ter to the film festival, calling Wakefield "the widely discred- ited and dangerous anti-vacci- nation quack."
On Saturday, De Niro and Tribeca reversed course, re- moving the film from its lineup
The film, according to the Tribeca Film Festival, "features revealing and emotional inter- views with insiders, doctors,

politicians, parents and one whistleblower to understand the skyrocketing increase of autism diagnoses today.”
Filmmaker Wakefield is a leading voice in the anti-vacci- nation movement, as well as a former British surgeon and medical researcher. His 1998 research paper claimed to link the MMR vaccine to autism, but the study has since been discredited and formally re- tracted in 2010 by the journal that published it.
