Eartha Kitt Will No Longer Grace This Earth With Her Prescence!

Eartha Kitt was a classy sex symbol that really represented black women well. This was a woman who spoke French & English & was loved overseas as much as she was in America. At 81, she was still performing & gracing stages with the sensual elegance that only Eartha Kitt could bring.Her voice was what you imagined sexiness to sound like.That's probably why she played "Catwoman" on Batman so well.
It's ironic that she died on Christmas day, since one of her biggest songs was "Santa Baby." It's the song that she's singing in this video. May she rest in peace. Here's more on her life from USCA:

"Although she can look back on a long and successful career, life has not always been easy for Eartha Kitt. She had a difficult and impoverished childhood and lost track of her roots. Kitt worked hard to get to the top, but when she was a child, she had to fight prejudice within the African-American community because of her light skin color. Ironically, as an adult trying to succeed in show business, Eartha Kitt found that most of the available roles went to caucasian actresses.


The singer-actress was born on a cotton farm in North in 1927. Because the harvest was good that year, her father named her "Eartha." But the family was poor and when she was still quite young, her father left them. The family moved from place to place, trying to support themselves. Kitt was of mixed racial parentage, and her light skin made her unwelcome to some. When her mother met a man and decided to get married, he told her he would take her half-sister Pearl but not Eartha. Finally, her mother left the two children with a neighbor family, choosing not to separate them. The young Eartha Mae had to cook, clean, weed the garden, keep track of the cow, pick cotton, and do many other chores to cover her room and board. She recounts that she was not treated well in her new home. She saw her mother only a few times during the three years she lived there, once when she was taken to see her new half-sister, Almita. About six months later, her mother died."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:http://www.usca.edu/aasc/kitt.htm

Now That Obama's Been Cleared Of Any Wrongdoing,Can We Move On To More Pertinent Issues Now?

You would think that there was a major scandal brewing with all of the media coverage over the extent of Obama's involvement with Gov. Blagovejich. What did he know & when did he know it? Well, here's what we all know now:

"President-elect Barack Obama's team had "no inappropriate discussions" with Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, according to an internal review.

But his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel talked to Mr Blagojevich about who should fill Mr Obama's senate seat.

Mr Blagojevich has been accused of attempting to "sell" the seat, but says he is not guilty of any wrongdoing.

The review reveals that the US Attorney leading the Blagojevich probe spoke to Mr Obama as part of his investigation.

Patrick Fitzgerald also questioned Mr Emanuel, and Obama aide Valerie Jarrett last week about their contacts with Mr Blagojevich."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the whole article here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7798127.stm
