KING PRESENTS A PSA FOR CELIBACY
Billionaire Kirk Kerkorian met former tennis pro Lisa Bonder on a tennis court. He was 74. She was 23. After messing around for a few years, he gave her $4 million to disappear. She took the money and then popped up pregnant. Kerkorian voluntarily began to pay $20,000 per month in child support.
Kerkorian’s baby-mama still wasn’t satisfied. She wanted their child to be legitimate and complained about not being married. Daddy Warbucks agreed to marry her and increase her child support to $50,000 per month, as long as she divorced him within a month.
She filed for divorce 30 days later and then asked him for $20 million to go away forever. But Kerkorian, finally catching on to Bonder’s gold-digger tendencies, ordered a blood test. And surprise, surprise, it wasn’t his baby.
Bonder ordered another blood test. This time, she tricked Kerkorian’s older daughter from a previous marriage into giving her a saliva sample. Then she submitted it to the courts, pretending it was her daughter’s saliva. When the test showed that Kerkorian was the father, she asked that her child support be increased to $320,000 per month. (That included $436 per month to care for the child’s pet bunny).
Meanwhile, Kerkorian read a story about Steven Bing, a movie producer who had a baby with model and actress Elizabeth Hurley. Turns out Bing had also had a fling with Bonder. Kerkorian called him up, man-to-man, and asked him to take a paternity test. Bing refused, so Kerkorian sent a bodyguard to Bing’s house to rifle through his garbage. A piece of used dental floss was found. And the tests showed that Bing was the father of the billion-dollar baby.
Bonder, however, wasn’t fazed. She continued her suit. In court, she said the real father didn’t matter since Kerkorian had signed the birth certificate and claimed the child as his own. Bonder didn’t get the whopping $4 million a year she wanted. But Kerkorian has been ordered to continue paying over $50,000 per month until the child turns 18.

iTunes has a new competitor in the market for digital music. And unlike iTunes, this service is free.
SpiralFrog, a New York based company that bills itself as a “digital entertainment destination,” has inked a deal with Universal Music to provide music and videos online, free of charge. The advertising supported service, which claims those between 13 and 34 as its target audience, promises its downloads will be free of viruses and spyware, making them safer than those offered by pirate sites.

"Offering young consumers an easy-to-use alternative to pirated music sites will be compelling," said Robin Kent, SpiralFrog's CEO. "SpiralFrog will offer those consumers a better experience and environment than they can get from any pirate site."
Legal downloading through sites like iTunes has been a boon for the record industry. According to Soundscan, digital track sales are up 77% from last year. Album downloads have increased 126%.

Oprah Gives 12 Homes to Katrina Victims

Recently, rappers such as Ice Cube and Ludacris have been critical of Oprah Winfrey’s negative view towards hip-hop. However, yesterday’s episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” proved no one can question her dedication to Black people.
After promising six months ago to build 65 new homes for victims of Hurricane Katrina, Oprah’s Angel Network moved 12 families into houses in Houston. Oprah personally pledged $10 million toward the construction of 65 new homes for victims of the storm.

Housewares and furniture were provided by Oprah’s Katrina Homes registry, which allowed viewers to go online and donate items to those displaced by Katrina.
These homes were not provided free of charge, though. Each family receiving a place worked 300 hours alongside volunteers as a “down payment.”
As expected, the new homeowners were overcome by the sight of their houses.
“It’s so beautiful!” said Tammy, whose family moved into one of the first homes. “I’m so excited I think I’m going to fall down!”
