Happy Birthday To Denzel Washington!! He Was Born On December 28,1954!
Denzel Washington was born on Dec. 28,1954.He is one fine-looking gentlemen who also happens to be one of the greatest actors of our time. I enjoyed him in "Mississippi Masala" & "American Gangster" among many other movies. It's really good to see a black marriage survive in Hollywood & Denzel Washington is hardly ever in the tabloids. There was that one rumor about him & Sanaa Lathan back in 2006 which claimed that the two were involved in a torrid affair. Here's more on that from Exposay:
"The grapevine is buzzing about another possible Hollywood breakup. This time, it's Oscar winner Denzel Washington and his wife of 22-years, Pauletta Washington.
Insiders reveal Washington's popularity with women has made him a serial cheater, and Pauletta isn't going to stand by and watch any longer. The latest gossip from insiders says he has been carrying on a sordid affair with former co-star Sanaa Lathan, who is 16-years his junior.
A friend reportedly says, "People have speculated about Denzel having affairs for a long time, but I wouldn't be surprised if the recent reports about Sanaa have gotten under his wife Pauletta's skin like nothing else has."
Rumor has it Denzel recently moved out of the couple's $10 million home in California.(Taken from the following site:http://www.exposay.com/denzels-divorce/v/1007/
Obviously that turned out to be just another falsehood about a celebrity.I hope that he's not a serial cheater because that would make me lose a lot of respect for him.Here he is on Tavis Smiley discussing the debate in the black community about the types of roles that he plays,such as gangster roles.

A Missing British Nurse Was Found Alive In The Boot Of Her Car!

Nurse Magdeline Makola was found in the boot of her car after she had been missing since Dec.15,2008. She had been through a terrible ordeal & is deeply traumatized from it. I hope that Miss Makola will be able to overcome the emotional turmoil that she must be in at this time. My prayers go out to her & I hope they find the monster who did this. It was someone that she had been acquainted with 5 years earlier. Here's more from the Telegraph.co.uk:
"More than 20 detectives joined the search for Miss Makola after she failed to turn up for work at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on Dec 18, three days after she was last seen.
When police searched her home, they found her work bag ready with her uniform and a packed lunch.
Her passport was in the house, but her car was gone. Over the next eight days, sightings of the car were reported in Airdrie, Glasgow and Livingston.
Police traced the vehicle to Airdrie through financial transactions made with Miss Makola's bank card.
Systematic searches were then carried out on every street in the town, which led to her being found.
Chief Insp Tague said Miss Makola, a South African who has been in this country for six years, was suffering from hypothermia.
She was also dehydrated and in "a very traumatised state" when she was found. There was "no evidence" of sexual or other physical assault and she suffered only minor injuries, he said. The abductor did not demand a ransom.
"Although not physically injured, she is extremely traumatised and this has made interviewing her extremely difficult," he said.
Specially trained officers had been drafted in to interview the nurse.
Miss Makola's relatives in South Africa have been informed and were said to be "deeply upset" by reports of her ordeal. One of Miss Makola's neighbours, Veronica Gijima, 26, said her sister Rhoda was called by Miss Makola before she was abducted.
"She told my sister that a man had been banging on the door and she was frightened and refused to let him in," Miss Gijima said.
Police are hunting the suspected abductor, described by police as black, aged 20 to 40, 6ft tall, stocky and with dreadlocks.
He was not a former boyfriend but somebody Miss Makola "had contact with about five years ago", Chief Insp Tague said. Officers have not been able to establish his nationality but said he used several different names, which they declined to disclose."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the entire article here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/lawandorder/3983526/Nurse-Magdeline-Makola-left-in-car-boot-for-up-to-10-days.html

It is very graphic, so be aware of that before you watch it.But, it is a compelling video.And the violence continued today when Israel bombed Gaza & killed at least 225 people,including women & children.Here's more from BBC:
"Israeli F-16 bombers have pounded key targets across the Gaza Strip, killing at least 225 people, local medics say.
Most of those killed were policemen in the Hamas militant movement, which controls Gaza, but women and children also died, the Gaza officials said.
About 700 others were wounded, as missiles struck security compounds and militant bases, the officials added.
Israeli PM Ehud Olmert said the operation "may take some time"- but he pledged to avoid a humanitarian crisis.
"It's not going to last a few days,'' he said in a televised statement, flanked by Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
Israel said it was responding to an escalation in rocket attacks from Gaza and would bomb "as long as necessary".
They were the heaviest Israeli attacks on Gaza for decades. More air raids were launched as night fell."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7800985.stm
