I don’t know what it is about football and animal cruelty but it seems that yet another Falcons player is being accused of killing dogs… well not dogs in the plural sense but a dog, as in his girlfriend’s adorable little yorkie! *sigh*
Prince Shembo, a second-year Atlanta Falcons linebacker, is in the news today after word spread that he’s been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals for kicking and killing his girlfriend?s dog.

You had your chance to buy Michael’s hair a few years back (click HERE if you missed that), but now one of you ‘superfans’ have to opportunity to purchase a substantial bit of Jackson’s legacy.
The California ranch once known as Neverland (not to be confused with the Atlanta tourist attraction known as Sheree Whitfield’s ‘Neverland’) is going on the market and for just $100 million bucks, it could all be yours!
[Sidebar: Jackson bought the property for $19.5 million back in 1987, so the sale is a pretty good return for Colony Capital, the investment firm that helped Jackson pay for the property when he struggled to maintain the cost prior to his death… but I digress.]

Somewhere out there I’m sure there’s a 20-something year old reading the title with a confused look on their face! Whatever the case, two legendary R&B singers are at odds online after one blocked another on social media.

Social media is filled with predators and these days, parents are utilizing extreme measures to ensure their kids understand it’s dangers.
Some parents have even sought to publicly humiliate their child by ‘teaching them a lesson’ online.
[FLASHBACK: Mom’s Quest to Publicly Shame Daughter Backfires… ]
Well… once again, a mother?s Facebook rant has gone viral, with over a million views and counting.
Valerie Sparks posted a 5-minute video online last Sunday of her confrontation with her 13 year old daughter. When the Colorado mother discovered that her teen had been pretending to be 19 on Facebook and posing for pictures in lacy lingerie, she shot the video to publicly shame the girl for her actions.
In the 5+ minute video, Sparks makes the girls admit that she doesn’t own any lacy underwear, has a 10pm bedtime and still watches children’s shows.
I’m not quite sure how or why the video would necessarily stop the teen from doing it all again, but I guess anything is worth a try.
