Wyclef Releases "Justice" Tribute to Trayvon Martin
Now Wyclef Jean has penned his own musical tribute to Trayvon.
The Fugees musician teamed up with Prescribed and J. Williams to create a track titled "Justice (If You're 17)" in dedication to Martin. Listen:
Some lyrical excerpts from Wyclef's call for "Justice" include:
"If you're 17 / And you're wearing a hoodie / You're on the phone / Talking to your shorty / Make no mistake / There's one like you / In every city / You know the story."
"If you're 17 with a hoodie on / Watch out for the neighborhood watcher / If you're at the right neighborhood at the wrong time / Neighborhood watcher / This might be your last call to your girlfriend / The neighborhood watcher / Man I feel for you if you're 17."
This past week saw George Zimmerman charged with murder in the February 26 shooting of Martin, following more than a month of unrest.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain in Sanford, Fla., claims he killed Martin in self-defense and that the teen was the aggressor.
Secret Service Agents Dismissed in Colombia, Scandal Erupts Over Alleged Prostitution Use
The agents were stationed in that country ahead of President Obama's arrival for the Summit of the Americas, which started today.
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan has not yet disclosed the nature of the allegations that resulted in replacing these agents with new ones, though insiders tell The Washington Post that at least one agent solicited a prostitute - the act is legal in certain Colombian areas - who then went to the police when she was not paid.
None of those relieved of duty was a member of the President's security detail.
Ronald Kessler, the author of "In the President's Service" and a former reporter for The Washington Post, told CBS News this represents "the biggest scandal in Secret Service history" and marks a "tremendous embarrassment to the U.S."
Source: Marc Anthony Hoped to Reconcile With Jennifer Lopez, Lost Out to Casper Smart
Marc filed for divorce Monday, nine months after the couple separated.
Sources indicate that Anthony didn't make the decision on his own, really. He wanted J. Lo back and had a heart-to-heart with her about giving it another shot.
Anthony reportedly make his intentions clear and asked to give the marriage another try, but Jennifer confessed tht she was "deeply in love" with Casper.
She said she wanted to pursue that relationship, and that was that.
Marc was blindsided, according to insiders, because while she and Casper Smart have been an item for some time, he had no idea things were so serious.
He was hurt, and has now filed for divorce, officially.
You gotta feel for the guy ... but on the flip side, they did split up for a reason, and by all accounts mutually. He's also been seeing Shannon De Lima.
Catholic League President Calls Out The Three Stooges for Total Nunsense
But The Catholic League is displeased with the new comedy for an entirely different reason, and it's summed up in the following photo:
President Bill Donohue has issued a statement in which he's critical of the idea that this comedy is a faithful homage to the goofy trio.
"Yes, the slapstick is there, along with the groans, pokes, thumps and the like. But the TV show never mocked nuns or showed infants urinating in the face of the Stooges. The film does," Donohue said.
As seen above, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton portrays a nun in the movie, donning a rosary necklace along with a bikini.
Larry David also takes on the role of nun... named Sister Mary-Mengele, likely after the Nazi war criminal Joseph Mengele.
"This movie is not just another remake: it is a cultural marker of sociological significance, and what it says about the way we've changed is not encouraging," says Donohue.
A Fox rep has responded to the criticism by saying "the Stooges have proved over time, laughter is a universal medicine. The nuns that Mr. Donohue alludes to, are in fact, caring, heroic characters in the movie, albeit within the framework of a very broad comedy."
Where do you stand on this issue? Should the Catholic League be angry?

Emily Maynard: The Bachelorette Portrait Revealed!
Ready to fall in love again?
The new season of The Bachelorette is just one month away, with Emily Maynard ready to dole out the roses beginning May 14. To mark the occasion, ABC has released the first promotional poster and photo featuring the star.
Check out both Emily Maynard pictures below:
Unfortunately (and obviously), her relationship with Brad Womack ended, and along with it, the dream of moving on and starting a new family with daughter Ricki.
But when one door closes, another opens, and now that she's the one handing out roles on ABC's hit show, she's ready to seek love she richly deserves yet again.
Let the new round of summer guilty pleasure viewing, wine guzzling, drama contriving and general disregard for dating etiquette and sometimes human decency begin!
Emily Maynard: Good choice for The Bachelorette?
"Recently I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer," said the actor, who has successfully battled leukemia, in a statement released by his rep.
"Although I was shocked and stunned by the news, I feel deeply fortunate that it was detected early and according to my extraordinary team of doctors the prognosis is positive for a full recovery," the statement adds.
"I am deeply grateful for the support of my friends and family during this time, and I urge everyone to get regular check-ups, as early detection is the best defense against this horrible disease that has afflicted so many."
O'Neal, 70, was treated in the late 1990s for myelogenous leukemia, which causes the bone marrow to produce too many white blood cells.
The latest diagnosis comes three years after he lost the love of his life, Farrah Fawcett, who died of cancer at 62. They have one son, Redmond O'Neal.
Here's wishing him a fast and full recovery.

But as the Twitterverse blows up, Jennifer Aniston drowns her sorrows in boxes of wine and we send our congratulations to Brangelina, we also can't help but wonder: will the couple last?

Jon Gosselin Denies Deadbeat Dad Report
But he's not a deadbeat dad, at least not according to the former reality star himself.
Following a report that claimed Gosselin owed his awful ex-wife $3,557.06 in child support, the father of eight has taken to Twitter and shot down this rumor, setting the record straight via some basic accounting.
"There is no story, I pay CS," Jon wrote. "The state site is my recurring balance, so guess what, it will always be there. Every month. Paid in full... Great digging up a story about nothing. Find something else to write a story about. I pay my water bill too, why don't you make that a story. Morons."
Okay, fine. In this case, point Jon Gosselin. But have you seen the disaster this guy was married to for many years? And had sex with at least twice? Dude is still way behind on the scorecard.
