We Want Peace by Emmanuel Jal

On January 9th, 2011 a referendum will determine whether Southern Sudan should remain a part of Sudan. 80% of Sudan's oil fields are in the south, making it a prime battleground to displace the indigenous people. Both North and South are preparing for war, leaving innocent people at grave risk of major human rights violations. The last civil war between North and South – in which Emmanuel Jal fought as a child soldier – claimed over 2 million lives (including that of Emmanuel’s own mother). Take Action.

The time to prevent another genocide is now. The single We Want Peace is a call for peace, protection and justice for all in Sudan and also for an end to conflicts affecting innocent people all around the world.

In NBC Interview, Bush Calls Kanye's On-Air Insult Worst Moment of Presidency

By Nate Freeman

In anticipation of the Nov. 9 release of his memoir Decision Points, George W. Bush will sit down with Matt Lauer for a prime-time news special this Monday to talk over the experiences relayed in the book. In the excerpts released yesterday in a press release, the NBC anchor grilled the ex-head of state on the memoir's key moments — namely 9/11, the Iraq War, Hurricane Katrina, etc.

But which of these events — all of them defining disasters of this millennium — does Bush consider the worst moment of his presidency? None, actually! It seems Bush is the latest victim of the cutting disses Kanye West can sneak into his nimble, dexterous flow. The offending quip, of course, was West's assertion, on an NBC Katrina telethon, that "George Bush doesn't care about black people." Bush admits that 'Ye burned him hard.

MATT LAUER:
This from the book. “Five years later I can barely write those words without feeling disgust.” You go on. “I faced a lot of criticism as President. I didn’t like hearing people claim that I lied about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction or cut taxes to benefit the rich. But the suggestion that I was racist because of the response to Katrina represented an all time low.”

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH:
Yeah. I still feel that way as you read those words. I felt ‘em when I heard ‘em, felt ‘em when I wrote ‘em and I felt ‘em when I’m listening to ‘em.

Kanye has dealt with the haters before — diss tracks from the Dipset crew, Barack Obama calling him a "jackass" after he interrupted Taylor Swift — but nothing compared to the president calling his insult the lowest point of an eight-year tenure in the Oval Office. What's beef, W.?

It was a Celebrity Wedding Weekend

How Romantic!! These Lovebirds, and expectant parents, Harlem lady Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz (real name Kasseem Dean) ran away together and got married on the French Island of Corsica yesterday, Saturday the 31st July. It was a very low-key wedding with only their closest friends, family and A-list stars including U2 rocker Bono and Queen Latifah, who was there to show their support for the couple.

When they arrived on the Mediterranean Island, several days early, they enjoyed the beach and sunshine before making their commitment to love each other forever in a ceremony in Corsica, France. The absolutely beautiful Alicia Keys looked radiant in a flowing white gown, with a sweet little baby bump, and a diamond encrusted headband on the day of her wedding to Swizz Beatz, who was wearing a white tuxedo jacket, pink shirt, bow tie for their big day and shades.

This sweet newlywed couple is expecting their first baby together this November, they could not be happier about beginning a family together.

It was the wedding of the decade and now we finally have some of the amazing details of Chelsea Clinton's nuptials. Despite conspiracy theories that Rhinebeck was a "decoy" location to throw off the press, the wedding was indeed held at Astor Courts in Rhinebeck, NY.

Chelsea said her "I dos" to Marc Mezvinsky under a flower chuppah outdoors on a picturesque afternoon. Details of the rest of the evening are beginning to emerge. One includes the current Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, being hoisted in chairs above a dancing crowd at the reception, as is typical at Jewish weddings. According to the Washington Post, other notable moments include when Chelsea reminded the minister of the next verse when an unexpected breeze turned the page in his book too soon, and when the bride traded her strapless Vera Wang ballgown for a slinkier white dress and took to the floor for a cute choreographed first dance to "At Last." (Bill danced with Chelsea to "The Way You Look Tonight" for their father-daughter number).

Lavish? Definitely. The guest list totaled around 400 people, several of whom stayed at the Delamater Inn and took chartered buses to the wedding. Chelsea reportedly had 12 bridesmaids who wore plum sashes around their custom Vera Wang gowns, and nearly as many groomsmen on Marc's side.
