Each and every time a child is in need, there should be someone there to help.  Shakira has done her part when it comes down to being there for impoverished children, and because of this, Shakira has earned a medal from the UN Labor Agency.

For those who aren’t already aware, not only does Shakira do her She Wolf thing in entertainment, but she is also UNICEF’s Goodwill Ambassador with her very own Barefoot Foundation, providing assistance to thousands of Colombian children.  She also works with ALAS Foundation.

Shakira received her medal for her outstanding strides when it comes to helping children in a small ceremony while being applauded with great words of praise from the UN Labor Chief.

Great going, Shakira.  Here is some footage of Shakira getting standing ovation.

An estimated 27,000 is what Rihanna is said to owe her fitness trainer, Cynthia Percival, according to OK! via TMZ.  Word is that though Rihanna wants to stay fit, Cynthia’s pockets were going thin after not getting paid the proper amount of money for working Rihanna out.  Because of all this, she has filed in LA County Superior Court a suit against the singer so that she can get all that loot…shoot!  I’d be mad, too!  Breaking a sweat for no cash.  Please…sit down and eat a doughnut on the clock!

Anyway, this is all what the trainer says, not Rihanna.  As a matter of fact, Rihanna hasn’t spoken a word about it.  Not surprising.  Whatever RiRi doesn’t want to talk about, she sings about…much later.

Okay now, Lil Wayne is the only rapper to have his sentence pushed back twice!  Word is that Lil Wayne will not be sentenced today, March 2nd, as planned because of a courthouse fire.  Hundreds of people had to evacuate.  Is someone on Lil Wayne’s side or what?

Anyway, there is still no word on when the new date is for Lil Wayne to become an official part of the prison population, but the way it’s looking, they should just go ahead and put him under house arrest and let him have time served with all this postponing stuff.

It really has to get annoying to Lil Wayne having to say good byes falsely, putting out videos and all that, tweeting love and then to find out…oh, there is a fire in the courthouse basement so Lil Wayne go back home.  SMH.

Update: Lil Wayne will be sentenced March 3rd 8th, that’s the word.  Aww-ight!  Watch something else go down that sets Lil Wayne free.

The Bloom Box…put mine of backorder. Save on electricity, and a small box only costs 3 grand??  Yes, the electric company has gotten far more money out of its customers over the long haul so this Bloom Box is worth the money.

Bloom Box Founder & CEO of Silicon Valley Bloom Energy, K.R. Sridhar

The Bloom Box, for those who haven’t heard, is a very small and reasonably priced energy cell or box that can heat up a dog on home all by itself, both day and night.  It runs off of dag on dirt!  Sand.  Believe that?  Watch the clips.  No, it isn’t yet available for homes right now, but in about ten years…cut those energy costs in half with the Bloom Box.

Here is just one more great story of success making success in the lives of others.  Alonzo Mourning receives the NBA Legend of the Year Award this morning, February 14th, for all his giving back to the community as well as from his help during this time of crisis in Haiti with Project Medishare.  Though Alonzo Mourning was the award recipient, he was also working on getting aid to Haiti with another baller, Dwayne Wade.  Both Alonzo and Wade came together to form the Athletes Relief Fund that works in conjunction with Project Medishare to get much needed funds to Haiti.  So far, Athletes Relief Fund has raised over 1 million dollars.  Great job, ballers, and many congrats to NBA’s Alonzo Mourning for making a big difference, still on the scene though retired.

Angelina Jolie is knocking a bit more rumors that are circulating about her and Brad Pitt possibly adopting a Haitian child.  It isn’t true, according to OK!.  Sure, they paid a visit to the country, however, adoptions wasn’t and still isn’t the goal of the trip.  Instead, it is obviously to help with whatever is needed in the earthquake destroyed country.
