PAULA NEAL MOONEY

by Paula Neal Mooney I've been trying all day to write this post about Halle Berry and her supposed new music CD . I don't know if it's me or Blogger Beta, but I was having some serious Blogger Beta withdrawals. (Anyone else out there having Blogger Beta problems? They aren't beta anymore, Blogger has dropped the Beta last night actually, and that may be part of the reason I couldn't get on. Anyway, if you halt the logon page that gets stuck and then click the other Blogger logon prompts it works.) At least I got to write about my findings about Halle Berry and her supposed new music CD over on Associated Content. So check out what I found out about Halle Berry and the CD that probably wasn't... Bookmark http://www.paulamooney.blogspot.com/ and drop back in to see what I'm up to next. Blessings and love, Paula Tags: halle , berry , cd , music , hoax , internet , rumor , blogger , beta , down , logon , problems

(I'm learning my lesson from trusting official news reports like the one that recently swore the Duke rape accuser birthed a baby girl , when in actuality she is still reportedly pregnant.)

True or not, already the haters have come out with venom about Halle Berry's attempt at making beautiful music . But I say give the woman a chance! I'm trying to do just that by searching down the "Miss Sexy" and "How You Been...

by Paula Neal Mooney ...or, more precisely, out of my Spirit, that is. I had the pleasure of interviewing Israel Houghton of the popular group Israel & New Breed probably two years ago now. "I did that inteview on my knees I was so grateful," I told my former copy desk chief friend Jim Kavanagh, formerly with the Akron Beacon Journal , now proudly with CNN. I probably should have mentioned that it was a phone interview with Israel "Iz" Houghton , but I'm sure he got my point... Anyway, Israel was so gracious to grant a newbie like me my first "celebrity" interview. He'd just returned from South Africa, where he'd recorded the amazing Alive in South Africa CD and DVD. Israel confirmed some of his dramatic testimony: White mother impregnated by a black man, kicked out of the house, contemplating abortion till she ran into a woman who told her "You are not forgotten" and led her in the sinner's prayer right on a California s...
