Kelly covers the latest issue of JET magazine and inside she speaks about her anticipation of finally reuniting with her father. She also sort of dismissed Mathew Knowles role as a father figure in her life:

I think every little girl wants to be a darling in her father’s eyes, and I’m going to get the opportunity to meet my biological father, so we’ll see what happens. That’s all I can say because I’m going to meet someone I haven’t seen in more than 20 years. In my heart I have forgiven him.

When asked if her sister and best friend Beyonce’s father Matthew Knowles help fill that void through the years she responded:

Well, I am so thankful I was able to have my mom and Tina (Knowles), as well as wonderful women in my life, so I’m happy about that.

Well alrighty then:

Robert Champion was a healthy 26 year old man, that was before his life was taken as a result of a hazing incident at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Marching Band. Here is the latest reports:

The results of an autopsy show Florida A&M University student Robert Champion died from blunt-force trauma suffered during a hazing attack, officials say.

The autopsy “revealed extensive contusions of his chest, arms, shoulder, and back with extensive hemorrhage,” the Orange-Osceola Medical Examiner’s Office said Friday.

Medical examiners ruled the death “the result of hemorrhagic shock due to soft tissue hemorrhage, incurred by blunt force trauma sustained during a hazing incident,” the Orlando Sentinel reported.

After the results were reported Friday, sheriff’s investigators said they would meet with the State Attorney’s Office to determine what, if any, charges would be made.

I hope his family get closure and justice:

New Official Portrait of the First Family

RIP CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS

jadewillowmilian — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 16:34:49 +0000

FROM Vanity Fair

Christopher Hitchens—the incomparable critic, masterful rhetorician, fiery wit, and fearless bon vivant—died today at the age of 62. Hitchens was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in the spring of 2010, just after the publication of his memoir, Hitch-22, and began chemotherapy soon after. His matchless prose has appeared in Vanity Fair since 1992, when he was named contributing editor.

“Cancer victimhood contains a permanent temptation to be self-centered and even solipsistic,” Hitchens wrote nearly a year ago in Vanity Fair, but his own final labors were anything but: in the last 12 months, he produced for this magazine a piece on U.S.-Pakistani relations in the wake of Osama bin Laden’s death, a portrait of Joan Didion, an essay on the Private Eyeretrospective at the Victoria and Albert Museum, a prediction about the future of democracy in Egypt, a meditation on the legacy of progressivism in Wisconsin, and a series of frank, graceful, and exquisitely written essays in which he chronicled the physical and spiritual effects of his disease. At the end, Hitchens was more engaged, relentless, hilarious, observant, and intelligent than just about everyone else—just as he had been for the last four decades.

“My chief consolation in this year of living dyingly has been the presence of friends,” he wrote in the June 2011 issue. He died in their presence, too, at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. May his 62 years of living, well, so livingly console the many of us who will miss him dearly.
