I’ve tried to listen on many occasions to the Tom Joyner Morning Show (TJMS)…but for some reason, I just can’t get into the show. The few times I have listened, the points of interest that held my attention were the scholarships awarded and the giving away of $$$ to people who deserved it. I truly admire Joyner’s philanthropic efforts.
Having said that, I was saddened to read Tavis Smiley quit the TJMS as a featured guest- not due to conflicting interests, money disagreements, or creative differences.
According to Tom Joyner, Tavis Smiley quit the show bcuz he was not receiving love from the black community.

sigh I don’t know what has transpired between listeners and Tavis Smiley, but if that fact is true-then it’s downright shameful.
Click here to read the open letter Tom Joyner has written to the black community/TJMS listeners. That move by Tom Joyner was brave, risky and the right thing to do.
Here’s wishing Tavis Smiley the best in all that he strives to do.
Update: Tavis speaks and gives further clarification. Read here.
NEW YORK (AP) — Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have reportedly named their newborn twins Max and Emme.
Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, seen in December, have named their newborn twins.
Lopez’s manager, Simon Fields, confirmed the babies’ names to People magazine on Friday.
The twins were born at a Long Island hospital on February 22, with 5-pound, 7-ounce Emme arriving about 15 minutes before her 6-pound brother. The hospital’s name was not disclosed.
Fields said then that Lopez, a first-time mother at 39, was “thrilled” at the babies’ arrival. The 38-year-old Anthony has three other children.
The Latin music power couple married in 2004.
The babies arrived a day after both their parents were named as winners of Latin music’s “Premio Lo Nuestro” awards. Lopez won this year’s award for best solo pop singer, while Anthony was named salsa artist of the year.

If you’re like me and read celebrity mags, and sites-then you already know her kids’ names. J-lo’s momz Guadalupe had already let the cat out of the bag when she ordered i.d. bracelets for the then unborn nina and nino with the names Emme & Max.
