Meet The Ohio Sextuplets And The Couple Who Loves Them!

BROWN SUGAR!

An Ohio woman has given birth to the state's second set of sextuplets, and her husband jokes he might have to work some overtime to support his new family.

Rozonno McGhee of Columbus says he's a proud and happy new dad. The 30-year-old carpet cleaning specialist and his wife Mia gave birth by cesarean section to four boys and two girls at Ohio State University Medical Center back in June.

A team of about 50 medical staff members oversaw the delivery.

The first baby weighed in at a fraction over 2 pounds and the smallest at 1 pound, 12 ounces.

Fewer than 200 deliveries of sextuplets have occurred in the United States. The McGhee children's names are Isaac, Josiah, Elijah, Rozonno, Madison and Olivia.

Teaching Your Kids To Make Decisons May Cut Down Drama Now And Later In Life

I am the first to admit I have not got this parenting thing down. I lean on a lot of things I learned form my parents and well some things they got right and some things they got wrong but I figure how bad could they have been, I turned out alright, right? Well yesterday another set of parents peeped me some knowledge and I sensibly shut my mouth and listened. The subject was: “cutting down arguing and “push backs” you get from your kids, by giving them choices within logical time constraints. This is what they said…

Instead of telling your child to “put your seat belt” give them a choice. “Would you like to put the seat belt on yourself or would you like me to help you?” The bottom line is the seat belt is getting put on.

Instead of “time to go to bed”, Say instead “Would you like to go to bed in 25 minutes or now?” This is to be followed up with a proper countdown of 5 minute increments. For example: “You have 15 minutes left. You have 10 minutes left; you now have five minutes left. Alright time to go.” This logical time constraint gives your child choices, he feels he is growing and in control. It also stops them from the pleading of “5 more minutes or just a little more time.” It works as well when ending a play date or bringing any of their activities to a close.

In the end we have to teach our children to enjoy making decisions. This is empowering them. And the choices are under our control creating less drama and that is liberating to us parents.

The Black Mommy Test: It's A Must Read!

Sistahs, You Know You Ain't Right

I was out walking with my 4-year-old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.

"Why?" my daughter asked.

"Because it's been on the ground. It's dirty, and it probably has germs," I replied.

At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Momma, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart."

I was thinking quickly. "All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mom."

We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. "Oh...I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test, you have to be the dad."

"Exactly," I replied back with a big smile on my face.

Michael Jackson's Biracial Children Finally Unmasked!

The little ones believed to be Paris (left) and Prince Jackson in Las Vegas

And the little one grinning out from beneath a hoodie on the far left, despite the best efforts of his nanny to keep him hidden, is thought to be their five-yearold brother Prince Michael II - known as Blanket.

Few outside the family and their staff have seen the faces of the children. The star has gone to great lengths to conceal their appearance in public, with scarves and shawls.

Had it not been for 49-year-old Jackson attempting another "incognito" outfit as the family stepped out in Las Vegas, they might have gone unnoticed.

Jackson appeared in a scruffy green anorak with the hood pulled down low, large dark glasses and a scarf across the lower half of his face. The outfit was relatively subdued, compared to some of the bizarre clothes he has worn in recent years.

The family have become nomads since the singer's trial over allegations of child abuse in May 2005. Although he was cleared, Mike J was humiliated by revelations about his private life and became more reclusive than ever, leaving California and drifting from one country to the next with his children in tow.

He is also said to be $170million in debt.

The two elder children do bear some resemblance to their mother Debbie Rowe, who Jackson married in 1996. After divorcing the gloved one, the former nurse essentially gave the singer custody as "a gift". Blanket was born to an unnamed surrogate mother. The paternity of all three children has been questioned in the past.

MY BLACK WIFE BE MISSING HER SOME DON IMUS! (a timely reposted article)

Am I in the twilight zone, did they beam me down to the wrong planet, did I make a left turn at Albuquerque? When I tell you my African American Queen is moping around the house talking 'bout, "She miss her some Don Imus! And then she adds to it, "don't shake your head at me 'cause you got a lot to thank Imus for ya' damn self!" You Readers you judge for yourself.

Last Thursday morning this is how the conversation went between Me (M) and Her (H) :

M: Ok honey you’ve been moping around here for the last week, What's Up?
H: Well you should know how I feel. I lived in New York City for 17 years and for 15 of those years “I listen to Imus In The Morning.” So I love me some Don Imus.
M: "Ok 'Lucy' you got some ‘splainin' to do!”
H: Look when I was working my way through college. I worked grave yard shift all night long and came home, turned Imus on the radio and he kept me awake so I could study before going to class.
M: Coffee wasn’t enough?
H: Hell no, I said graveyard shift didn't? Then later, when we were dating and you would jet in from LA, I still had to get up at 6am and get dressed for work and you slept in.
M: Well ...??
H: Well I really wanted to wake you up to talk to me. But there was Imus, on the radio, keeping me company, so you could sleep in peace.
M: OK ...
H: You see I was listening to Imus before I met you, after we broke up, and still after we got back together.
M: Preach on reverend.
H: In fact Imus kept me from finding another man during that time we were broke up.
M: How’s that?
H: Well you know how I love a funny man ... or I wouldn’t be with you right?
M: Right.
H: Well Imus was funny enough on the radio where I didn’t need another man, ... so thank Imus for keeping me CELIBATE FOR YOU.
M: Say what?
H: In fact, if it wasn't for Imus, you and I would NEEEVER got back together.
M: How’s that?

H: For two weeks Imus went on vacation for some surgery. Yup' and that was just the opening you needed.
M: Come again?
H: He was gone ... there was a void. Back, in, my, life, steps' you.
M: Well thank you Mr. Imus!
H: See, now you get it!
M: But Baby that’s all changed. Now we live in LA and he’s wasn't on the radio here.
H: Yes, but at 2am he’s was on MSNBC, and you know I can’t sleep at night, right?
M: Right so …
H: So when you have those late night poker games and you try tipping in here 10 minutes passed 2am ...Well for those 10 minutes I’ve been looking at Imus. I’m laughing and in a good mood. So you could say Imus has kept you from getting a serous butt kicking.

M: Therefore …
H: Therefore, with all Imus has done for us, you really should be kissing his A…
M: Alright, alright I get it, but Honey when Imus talks about those “Nappy Headed Ho’s at Rutgers ... he’s also talking about our two girls.
H: He’s talking about MY GIRLS? Little Tiki and Briana? Nappy headed Ho?
M: Now ya' get it
H: You know little Tiki is only six years old and already sensitive about her nappy, kinky hair and her sister Briana's straight hair, “How come Briana’s hair doesn’t get tangled up?”, “How come Briana doesn’t cry when you comb HER hair? “ “I want hair like Briana's, ... I WANT GOOOOD HAIR!!”

M: So what are you saying about Imus now?
H: That Negro, had to go.
M: For calling Black women Hoes.
H: Naw, ... For throwing gasoline on our already flammable family hair issues.
My little girls can't be hearing no trash talk about Nappy Hair.

Kids Are Supposed To Be Learning About Sex In Middle School, Not Having It... During Class No Less

HOUSTON -- Moms and dads in Fort Bend County are outraged after their children said they witnessed a pair of eighth-graders engaged in a sex act, right in the middle of class.

The unsettling news about an incident at Crockett Middle School came to parents in a letter where the principal reported that the students, a boy and a girl, made inappropriate sexual contact with each other while other students watched. The letter does not say where the teacher was at the time.

However, some ticked-off parents have indicated that their children said the sex act happened once the teacher stepped out of the classroom. What also has some parents seeing red was the amount of time it took for the information to get to them. It's been more than a week since the incident happened. On some many levels, what's up with Crockett Middle School in Texas, family??? Video

Black Girls Lose Their Favorite Dolls; Mattel Toys Recall Polly Pocket

MATTEL TOYS INC. has recalled all Polly Pocket Dolls manufactured before November, 2006.

They were manufactured in China and those little magnets that hold some of their clothes together are coming out. The recall follows the hospitalization of three young children who reportedly swallowed more than one magnet from the recalled toys, creating holes in their intestines that required surgery.

My wife says to me "well that's not us, our girls got their Pollies for Christmas last year." I quickly corrected her that if the Pollies were here for Christmas, chances are they were made in China before November.

Now don't tell me you have a little girl age 5 to 12 that doesn't have Polly Pocket dolls.

These toys were the #3 girl gift last Christmas behind Barbie and those cute little Pet Shop Animals. Each day as I come home from work I find one of my girls on the computer at the Polly website playing the games, while the other daughter is counting up her Pet Shops (now at a glorious total of 23). Since we bought that darn Polly Car and Water Fountain, Saturday mornings are now a Polly Pocket mess.

But the thing my one angel loves above all is to put those damn Polly clothes in her mouth and chew on them. So guess who's got all these butt naked Pollies floating around the house? I don't think the store is going to take those back any time soon, but now I understand why bobby pins and paper clips have been sticking to her belly.

If you need to find out more about this craziness, contact Mattel at 888-597-6597, or visit the company's web site for a complete list of the recall items.

WHAT HAPPENED IN VEGAS DOESN'T STAY AS MEL B MARRIES BLACK MUSIC PRODUCER STEPHEN BELAFONTE

Eddie Murphy's baby's mama Melanie Brown has secretly married her boyfriend in Las Vegas.

Mr. & Mrs Stephen Belafonte tied the knot on June 6, according to a marriage license filed in Clark County, Nevada and first reported by celeb gossip site PerezHilton.com.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Scary Spice's rep said: "Regarding the marriage, Mel and Stephen have know each other for many years and were great friends first. Now they are deeply in love. The two are very happy together."

The couple first got together when Brown was pregnant. "He was a really good friend and good support to me during my pregnancy," she told PEOPLE in a recent interview. "He's a really sweet guy."

Locked in a bitter paternity battle with 'Donkey' over their daughter Angel Iris Murphy Brown, last week, Murphy released a statement acknowledging paternity and payment of child support that continues to be disputed by Brown.

COLLEGE, THE SINGLE MOM, AND WHY AM I SMELLING PEE AT MY BABY'S DAYCARE?

By Ms. Tricky

Why is it that when I start to really work my tail off, you know, tryin’ to get ahead in this dog-eat-dog world, all hell breaks loose?

I am taking a five-week doctoral level statistics class so I can get closer to completing my “Playah-Hatin’-Degree” (that’s Phd for those under 30yrs old). I have to drop off my twin daughters no earlier than 8:50am for camp, get my three-year-old son to daycare, and check email at my desk, before I walk across this large campus to my classroom. It is a tight, yet perfectly-timed, schedule. (Did you notice the exercise? I am walking! Environmentally conscious as well, I parked my big SUV in the parking lot.)

My son attends daycare near my job at a large public university. Lately, the teachers have been talking about how terrible the owner of the daycare is, and how the center is going to be “shut down.” One girl said the employer's payroll checks have bounced on several occasions.

Another girl said that there were a few days when there wasn't enough milk for all of the children. Still another rumor is that the owner hasn’t paid her taxes. Now that I think about it, there have been signs that something wasn’t quite right.

So here are the top-five that could have you rethinking your previous childcare choices:

#5… The daycare “misplaces” your monthly tuition (personal check) for a couple weeks.

#4…You have never, ever met the owner of the daycare even though this is NOT a large chain.

#3… On more than one occasion, a pungent urine smell hits you when you walk in the door.

#2… Your child doesn’t seem to reject the idea of going to a new school , especially after another child throws scissors at her and draws blood.

#1… Your motherly intuition tells you, “it’s time to move on!”

IT'S OFFICIAL! CHRIS ROCK IS NOT THE DADDY OF WHITE WOMAN'S CHILD

SAVANNAH, Ga. - A court-ordered DNA test has now conclusively proved that Black comedian Chris Rock is not the father of a 13-year-old boy whose White mother tried to sue the comedian for support.

"The results of the test are that Chris Rock is not the father of this child," Rock's attorney, John Mayoue of Atlanta, said.

Rock and his wife, Malaak, said in a statement they were happy to put the case to rest. "We also express our deepest prayers for the welfare of Ms. Bowyer's son Jordan who has continually been embarrassed and exposed in the media by his mother," Rock's statement said.

Despite offers of thousands of dollars from television shows and tabloids, Bowyer said she had never received money for her story and planned to ask the judge to order another DNA test. She maintains she met Rock at a Los Angeles nightclub when she was living in California 13 years ago.

"I am sick and tired of being made out to be a liar and a fraud," Bowyer said.

Rock recently directed and starred in the box office bomb "I Think I Love My Wife," and is behind the hit television series "Everybody Hates Chris," which is based on his childhood. He and his African American wife have been married for 10 years and have two young children.

PAPA WAS A ROLLIN STONE: DNA LINKS BLACK MUSIC ICON JAMES BROWN TO MORE CHILDREN

Over A Dozen Claim To Be The Godfather's Spawn, Only Two Lucky Winners... So Far

TMZ is reporting that James "Say It Loud, I'm Black And I'm Proud" Brown was named the baby daddy of two more children on yesterday. That brings this rooster's total to eight, and counting.

Soul brother number one publicly acknowledged six children, but new DNA testing revealed that LaRhonda Petitt, and another unidentified individual are also Brown's kids.Petitt, who was interviewed by the Augusta Chronicle, is 45-years-old -- the oldest of Brown's identified children.

She revealed that Brown picked her mother out of a Los Angeles audience and the two began dating, but that James Brown split when he found out about the pregnancy. Said Petitt, "I was angry that he was out there making all this money, and he wasn't doing anything for my mother and me. I could have had a better life."

Several people (money-seekers) have claimed to be Brown's babies, but so far, only two have been positively identified as the late, great Black "Sex Machine's" seed.

Speaking of sex machine, here's some classic JB:

BARACK'S BLACK DAUGHTERS WANT ANSWERS AS TO WHY THIS WHITE WOMAN HAS A CRUSH ON "DADDY" OBAMA

Of course Obama's girls have heard of "Obama Girl." Who hasn't?

The difference is, now the maturing girls are wondering aloud what the White star of the racy Web video means to their family.

In opening the campaign's volunteer headquarters Friday, Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, talked about the reaction to the video from their two daughters Sasha, 6, and Malia, 9.

While she kept her cool and made light of it, you know behind the scenes the sistah is seething!

Fewer Black Girls are Getting Pregnant

"I tell them that it's, you know, the way people are sometimes," said Michelle Obama. She was referring to "I Got A Crush On Obama," a music video created by an aspiring model and actress named Amber Lee Ettinger, aka Obama Girl.

The song, which has lines like "Universal health care reform, it makes me warm," has gotten more than 2.5 million hits and 7,500 comments since being posted last month on YouTube, the online video-sharing site. Obama said she and her husband reassured their daughters, after Sasha asked, "Daddy, you have Mommy, right?"

Boys II Men: A Rite of Passage for Young Black Men

"I think they were sort of like, 'What is this? And what does it mean?' But you know, that's the nature of having ... children in politics," Michelle Obama said.

If you were the Black woman in this situation, would you play it like Michelle?

BLACK GAY STUDENT WANTS HIS KISS IN THE YEARBOOK, WHILE GENARLOW WILSON IS DENIED BAIL FOR TEEN ORAL SEX

NJ Superintendent Apologizes to Black Gay Student

Newark schools superintendent Marion Bolden made a public apology to a group of assembled students on Tuesday before talking personally with Andre Jackson, the 18-year-old student whose photo she had ordered blacked out of 230 school yearbooks because it depicted Jackson in a kiss with his boyfriend.

Said Bolden: "We have to own up to the fact that it was a homophobic moment. That's what everybody's afraid to say. There are sensitivity issues we need to talk about as a result of this."

As a parent, I personally don't want to see anybody kissing in my kids high school yearbook - two males, two females, male-female, pick one!

According to the Associated Press, "Bolden said she arrived at the school Tuesday to find [Jackson] reluctant to speak with her, but that the two spoke after she made a public apology to the assembled students. 'He said he felt a lot better,' Bolden said. 'He said he's had more issues around his coming out from outside school than in school, so it was particularly hard for him.'

During her public remarks, she said the picture of Jackson kissing his boyfriend was not appropriate for the yearbook and that, if it was to be removed, two pictures of heterosexual couples kissing should have been removed as well."

We agree. Just the thought of Genarlow Wilson still being on lockdown for having consensual oral sex with a 15 year-old girl when he was 17 should put everyone on notice!

Speaking of Wilson, the insanity continues. A judge has just denied his request to be released on bond pending his appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court.

NO OFFENSE TO GETTING YOUR FEELINGS HURT ABOUT A YEARBOOK PHOTO, BUT GENARLOW'S CASE IS WHAT REALLY NEEDS OUR FOCUS.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!

OH HELL NO! FOLKS ARE TRYING TO NAME THEIR KID'S SATAN?!?!!

Another Family Has Given Their Little Girl 27 Names!

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - New Zealand authorities have blocked a couple's bid to officially name their new son "4real," saying numerals are not allowed.

You want to name your kid what????????

Pat and Sheena Wheaton said they decided to name their new baby "4real" shortly after having an ultrasound and being struck by the reality of his impending arrival.

But when the parents filed the name with New Zealand's Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, they were told names beginning with a number were against the rules.

In Honor Of Famous Boxers, Autumn Brown Has 25 Middle Names

The government is now negotiating with the parents about the name under a policy that says all unusual names must be given case-by-case consideration.

"The name has not at this stage been rejected," Registrar-General Brian Clarke said. The rules are designed, however, to prevent names that are "likely to cause offense to a reasonable person."

Satan and Adolf Hitler were proposed names that have been declined, Clarke added.

If no compromise has been reached by July 9, the baby will be registered as "real."

Their gonna name that baby REAL??????

New Zealand law requires all children born in the South Pacific nation to be registered with the Births, Deaths and Marriages registry within two months of birth.

ABC has the story, plus video.
