I Said a Mother’s Prayer for You I said a Mother’s Day prayer for you to thank the Lord above for blessing me with a lifetime of your tenderhearted love. I thanked God for the caring you’ve shown me through the years, for the closeness we’ve enjoyed in time of laughter and of tears. And so, I thank you from the heart for all you’ve done for me and I bless the Lord for giving me. The best mother there could be!

how to Conquer habitual Sins romans 8:1-14

1

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life henry Nelson set me free from the law of sin and death.3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering.

And so he condemned sin in sinful man, 4in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.

5Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.6 The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; 7 the sinful mind is

hostile to God. It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God. 9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

12Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. I define your battle with the flesh as all the habit patterns that you have developed over the years to meet your needs out of your own resources. It is the Self-Life. Look at what it means to “live by the Flesh” and “How difficult it is to deal with the Flesh.”

But this week I want to show you How To

Fight The Flesh and Overcome Sin Tendencies in our life.

The 8th Chapter of Romans tells us how: Romans 8 is the “Declaration of Freedom” This Chapter in the Bible and Gods Word declares the Christians Security in Christ. As you study this chapter you will discover that the emphasis is upon the Holy Spirit, who is mentioned 19 times.

So, it stands to reason, that in order to live a life free from old habit patterns and sins that try to enslave us. You must have a dependence upon the Ministry of the Holy Spirit who was sent by Jesus to help us live a overcoming life.

2nd Corinthians 3:17 says, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty!” So what we are looking into this week is: How you can walk in daily freedom from sinful habit patterns by depending upon the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Just how do we do that? When you notice that you are beginning to live according to the old habit patterns you have developed, in dealing with your problems. You need to STOP and Listen for the voice of God and quiet yourselves. Now the Flesh does not like this. It takes patience and trust and

“taste test” Wake Up!

endurance to stop and listen to God. Your flesh will scream out “ We have got to do something! Now!” But you will never hear Gods voice when you are listening to your own thoughts. Amen!

The First Step to Hearing From Gods Holy Spirit is to Quiet yourselves to Listen. This means that you must quiet your flesh, your tendencies to try to solve everything your way and not get ahead of Gods leading. Do not allow your old habits to direct you anymore and begin to listen to Gods voice when He speaks.

Step Two: Stay in Step with the Holy Spirit. How Do I Stay in Step With the Spirit?

Galatians 5:25 says, “Since we live by the Spirit let us stay in Step with the Spirit.” You stay in step with the Holy Spirit when you make a willful choice to do things God’s way and not your way. Amen!

You stay in step with the Spirit by applying a little known principle found in Ephesians 4 Ephesians 4:3 3 says; “Always keep yourselves united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourselves together with peace.”

ELITE STAFF WRITER

M

other’s Day remains one of the most favorite times of the year for me. It is a time when I get to show appreciation to a very special person in my life, my Mother.

This Sunday, all across the United States, Mothers will be celebrated.

Every year around this time, we try to find ways to say, “THANK YOU” and “I LOVE YOU” to the sweetest person ever created, our MOTHER. I remember purchasing a beautiful picture frame for my Mother some years ago with an inscription which read: “To one who bears the sweetest name and adds luster to the same. Long life to her, for there’s none other, who takes the place of my dear Mother!”

What a beautiful sentiment and how fitting and true it is.

There really is no one sweeter than MOTHER and no one will ever be able to take her place.

Her sacrifices are endless

and there really is nothing she won’t do for her children.

She is the very definition of the word love.

When I was searching for words to share with our readers on this special day, Proverbs 31: 25 – 31 came to mind.

Strength and dignity are her clothing; and she laughs at the time to come.

She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her

children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her; “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.”

Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Give her the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.

Here are a few suggestions for what you can do to make your Mother’s, Mother’s Day one she will remember for years to come as you show appreciation for your Mother on Mother’s Day:

To all the Mothers, from all of us here at the Elite News, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Spend the day with her doing whatever she wants to do. My Mother is a Christian, so I know we will start our day off by attending church with her, and you could do the same.

My mother enjoys all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren’s company and nothing makes her happier than us joining her at Church on Sunday.

All Moms like flowers! A dozen or two of her favorite will definitely make her day!

Prepare her favorite dinner for her, or if you can’t cook it like she can, take her to a nice restaurant!

Jewelry, especially diamonds, is always appreciated if you can afford them!

But, if you can’t afford any gifts, diamonds, dinner or flowers, just spending time on “her” day, I’m sure will be the best gift you can give her!

The Dallas Mavericks signal a changing of the guard as they go up 2 games to zip against the 3time defending NBA Champions Los Angeles Lakers.

As you watched Monday night and Wednesday night’s games, you got the feeling that the Mavericks are not going to give kobe gets shot off but it was not enough to stop the Mavs. this series away.

The Mavericks have a new found sense of confidence, and with good reason. The Maverick’s defense has been outstanding. With key defensive plays from Brendan Haywood and Tyson Chandler and strong inside play from the Mavs big men. JJ Barea was all over the court on Wednesday night, with dribble penetration, and getting to the basket almost every time he brought the ball down court. Barea’s 10 points down the stretch gave the Mavs the spark they needed to go up 2 games to none against the Lakers.

The Mavs head home to Dallas to take on the Lakers Friday night at the AAC. Stay tuned. This series is going to be a good one! hoW ‘BoUt theM MaVS!!

Advice Column: Ask Karen Hollie A Costly Mistake

n

FL player Marquis Cooper was one of four men who set out for a fishing trip off the Gulf Coast of Florida.

When they hit rough seas, their boat capsized, and Geraldine Cooper and a Davidson-hooker friend never made it back.

Sadly, the Coast Guard never received a distress signal from Cooper’s fishing boat.

But here’s the sad footnote to the tragedy. Two days before that fatal trip, a friend had urged Cooper to buy a lifesaving device that self-activates radio signals when a boat flips over, but he never got what could have saved his life.

That is the kind of mistake the Bible says has cost a lot of people their lives–forever, as in eternal life.

We may not realize it, but according to the Bible, we are all in a deadly situation.

We were created by God and for God, but we’ve all lived for ourselves instead.

We’re rebels against the God who made us, which leaves us separated from the One we were made for.

If we die that way, we’ll be away from Him forever. As the Bible says, though, God does not want “anyone to perish” (2 Peter 3:9 ). So He sent Jesus, His only Son, to do the dying for our sins.

Jesus paid the price to give us eternal life, but He doesn’t force it on us. We make it ours when we say, “Jesus, I’m Yours.”

Then God asks this sobering question: “How shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?” (Hebrews 2:3 ) You don’t have to reject Jesus to miss heaven, just neglect Him. The life-saving option is there within your reach.

God has blessed us with the ability to improve and enlarge our talents. The small businessman is not satisfied until he is a big businessman.

The educator thirst for greater knowledge and becomes greater. The athlete improves his skills and are sought by others to become part of their team. The list goes on and on.

However, what is Pastor Clarence true in the material henderson world is true in the spiritual as well. The Apostle Paul, who lived the Christian life to the full, was constantly talking about growth. He begged men to quit being babes on a milk diet and to become strong men who can eat the meat that will so exercise their senses as to enable them to discern both good and evil.

When we begin to spend more time in our prayer closet, we will discover our fulfilled ambition to spiritual growth.

I Want To Know

the Christ hymn

P

hilippians 2:1-11 was the church school lesson for Sunday. eld lloyd T. Morgan The church a Philippi was having a problem, the problem that has plagued the church from its beginning “disunity.”

He says to them “If the fact that you are in Christ has any power to influence you, if love has any persuasive power to move you, if you really are sharing in the Holy Spirit, if you can feel compassion and pity, complete my joy, for my desire is that you should be in full agreement, loving the same things, joined together in soul, your minds set on the one thing.

Do nothing in a spirit of selfish ambition, and in a search for empty glory, but in humility let each consider the other better than himself.

Do not be always concentrating each on your own interests, but let each be equally concerned for the interests of others.

The modern day church need to consider the message and practice what this first century church was challenged to practice, “Unity.”

Christ must always be held up to the church and the world as the example of how we should be.

The Morning message delivered by Pastor Morgan was “Jesus offers abundant life” John 10:9-10.

Often when witnessing to people about Christ and Salvation they seem to think that coming to Christ and surrender to him will take away all their joy and happiness. But today it was argued that real life and joy doesn’t exist outside of Christ.

If you want to know the fullness of joy give your life to Christ. The Psalmist says; “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Ps 16:11.

Try Jesus and if you don’t like him the devil will always take you back.

Be blessed

eliTe News spORTs BaRBeRshOp Talk wiTh leON simON

W

hile trying to get some barbecue Saturday I ran across a flyer. Rodney Hampton is trying to have a football camp. Sponsored by a Duncanville Church he wants his camp to be at an Oak Cliff park. leon simon It is amazing to me how athletes from other areas can so readily get access to Southern Dallas facilities. In most cases at no charge, or very little, when there are programs in Dallas being cut out or cut back because of a shortage of funds.

These guys go to naïve council representatives and make them think that they are trying to help our kids. Mind you these athletes pretend during their playing days to be afraid to come over here. While they’re playing the only time they come this way is when their planes fly over this area on their way out of town.

You have to be a resident of these suburbs to use their facilities but all these washed up athletes have to do is ask and they can use facilities in the southern sector. We’re laying off teachers, closing swimming pools in Dallas and we let Deion Sanders have the Cotton Bowl free to have try outs for an already sponsored team. Now here comes Rodney Hampton former New York Giant, who came from a Church in Duncanville. A church by the way, that is surrounded by 3 city parks in Duncanville; Armstrong Park, Southside City Park, Lakeside City Park, none of which is over a quarter mile from said church.

These guys use people like Newy Scruggs to make you think the kids in the Southern sector have no one to help them learn these games. Newy knows as much about the goings on in the southern sector as the Premier of Russia.

As a matter of fact, the Premier probably has spent more time over here than Newy.

As far as the help they bring over here, Southern Dallas has had Pro- Bowlers and hall of fame type players before Deion or Rodney were born. So don’t bring that argument here.

You can’t beg a Cowboy or a New York Giant to get in a parade on the South side. But as soon as he gets broke, here he comes with a camp he couldn’t sell in South Lake or Plano.

We have guys who have been working on these parks as long as 35 and 40 years and cannot get a stadium to play Bowl games to raise money for uniforms or take their kids on trips. These ex-pros are trying to get kids from 5 - 12.

People!!! A pro can’t even relate to a kid that young!

The football terminology is too hard for the kids, yet they want to charge $80 each for 2 days even if the kid could relate to the terminology - $80 for 2 days -- let him go to Sunday school.

If you want your kids to play football there are a ton of programs in Oak Cliff like anything else check them out and pick the one that best suits your needs.

And quit helping these guys pay these expensive house notes, let them hit the streets.

President Barack obama got osama bin Laden

By Jordan Blair ELITE NEWS

I

t’s been 10 years since Osama bin Laden had been seen. He has been given credit for being the mastermind of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks that murdered thousands of Americans and was labeled the most hunted man in the world. In 72 hours before Osama bin Laden’s death was announced, President Obama balanced public events with a series of private military briefings.

Nothing leaked. All presidents keep secrets, but over a 72-hour span leading to bin Laden’s death, Obama’s tenacity to keep a poker face was tested as never before.

Obama gave a commencement speech in Miami and played golf with aides in Maryland. He met with victims of deadly storms in Alabama and delivered zingers at the Correspondence Dinner in Washington. The operation was set in motion at 8:20 a.m. Obama then flew south where he walked through a neighborhood in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. From there he flew to Florida, speaking to graduating students in Miami and meeting with the crew of the space shuttle Endeavor, whose flight was postponed.

At 9:45 a.m. on Sunday, President

President Barack Obama

Obama’s motorcade left for Andrews Air Force base for a round of golf. He played 9 holes and spent a little time on the driving range.

By 2pm he was back at the White House for a meeting with senior officials to discuss what one aid calls final preparation. Later, the results were Osama bin Laden was killed in a fire fight with U.S. forces in Pakistan on Sunday, President Obama announced.

In a dramatic late night appearance in the East Room of the White House, President Obama declared that justice had been done as he disclosed that U.S. Military and CIA operatives had finally cornered the Al-Qaeda leader, who had eluded them for nearly a decade, and shot him to death at a compound in Abbottabad, north of Islamabad.

“For over 2 decades, bin Laden had been Al-Qaeda’s leader and symbol,” said President Obama, in a statement carried on televisions around the world. The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s efforts to defeat Al-Qaeda but his death does not mark the end of our effort. We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad. The death of bin Laden is a defining moment in the U.S. led war on terrorism. What remains to be seen is whether or not there will be a backlash for his killing.

Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson said, “I want to commend President Obama, our men and women in uniform, and our intelligence service for their great efforts. I also want to commend President Bush who rallied our nation in our moment of need on September 11.

The death of Osama bin Laden is historic, but the fight against terrorism continues.

As President Obama said yesterday, ‘Let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on September 11. I know that it has been, at times, frayed. Yet today’s achievement is a testament of the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.’ Indeed this great mild stone against terrorism reminds us that we must remain united against the forces that drive us within our borders and abroad.”

It is amazing that bin Laden could elude capture for so long and all the war mongering that went on during the Bush administration could never capture a terrorist living in the open, as we later found out. Our current president, Barack Obama, has had to endure all types of criticisms throughout his administration, but he did something his predecessor couldn’t do; he put together a plan that made all Americans proud. And, he did it without losing American lives.

When will we learn that it’s not about party, that it’s not about race, but it’s about a leader doing the best he can for his country and his people? This should be a starting point to stop bipartisan politics and do the right thing for America.

Hats off to President Barack Obama for a job well done. You handled your business for your country.

Jumping the Broom has several lessons on abstinence, black love, marriage Screen hype

SPeCIaL to the eLIte neWS

a

t a time when sex, drugs and violence appear to be the formula for most blockbuster movies, selling tickets at an alarming rate, it is wonderful to see a movie that is not animated, but is still great family entertainment.

Jumping the Broom is a fun movie that also evokes several other feelings as viewers are introduced to Jason and Sabrina, and their sometimes dysfunctional families. Jason’s mother works in the post office, while Sabrina’s family is old money. When the two worlds collide, there are sure to be some laughs and some tears.

Calling Jumping the Broom a “dramedy,” producer Bishop T. D. Jakes, says it is the story of two families brought together by marriage and they meet for the first time at the wedding. “It’s a com-

Successful benefit held for Jordan Baptist Church

By Lola Searcy

eLIte neWS StaFF WrIter

a

few weeks ago, during the wee hours of the morning, a storm tore through the city of Lancaster. It left in its path of destruction, a gaping hole in the sanctuary of the Jordan Baptist Church, located at 1515 Dewberry Blvd.

Although, no one was hurt or injured, Pastor Royal and his congregation found themselves without a place to worship, and faced with the daunting task of replacing a roof, they had replaced a little Pastor Zackery Royal more than a year ago.

Well, they have since found another place of worship thanks to the generosity and kindness of Pastor Kevin Pritchard and the members of the Rolling Hills Baptist Church.

On Sunday night, at the Bexar Street Baptist Church, in a collaborative effort by the Dallas Baptist Ministers Union; the Fellowship Missionary Baptist District Association; the Dallas Baptist Ministers Conference, The Oak Cliff Ministers Union and churches from the Dallas and Ft. Worth areas, hosted a benefit service for Pastor Royal and the Jordan Baptist Church Family.

Dr. T. L. Brown, program coordinator, Pastor Zackery Royal and Mrs. Latona Royal and grandchildren along with Pastor A. Mac Royal of Memphis, TN.

The benefit program was held at the Bexar Street Baptist Church, located at 2018 Marsalis Avenue, where Rev. Dr. C.C. Robertson is the Pastor.

Dr. Robert Murphy, 3rd Vice President of the Dallas Baptist Ministers Union gave the call to order and served as the Master of Ceremonies of the program.

Dr. Murphy also led the congregation in singing, “What a Fellowship”.

The scripture was read by Pastor Marshall Hobbs, Jr., the Pastor of the Passion Community Church of Ft. Worth, Texas. Dr. A.C. Stapleton of the Shekinah Tabernacle Baptist Church gave the prayer. Dr. C.C. Robertson was ill and unable to attend, so the welcome and greetings were extended to the congregation by Rev. A.L. Banks, Pastor of the Community Baptist Church of Dallas and Ft. Worth.

Dr. David Henderson, President of the

Baptist Ministers Conference gave the occasion. Dr. Henderson reminded those in attendance that “We are here to be a blessing to someone who needs our help.

Despite the situation, God is still in control.We are here to help you, and to let you know the Church community cares.

Today its Jordan Baptist Church, but it could be any one of us tomorrow, so we should do all we can to aid and assist Pastor Royal and his congregation.”

The Bexar Street Baptist Church rendered a selection and Dr. A.E. Sharp, Moderator of the Fellowship Missionary Baptist District Association gave greetings on behalf of the Fellowship District Association.

Dr. B.R. Daniels, Pastor of the Beth Eden Baptist Church of Ft. Worth, TX and Rev. A.L. Banks led the congregation in giving following another selection from the Bexar Street Baptist Church choir.

The “Exciting” Ervay Cedar Baptist rendered selections and afterwards, Dr. Robert Murphy introduced the speaker of the hour, Pastor Zackery Royal, who is the brother of Pastor Sinclair Royal, and the Pastor of the St. Mary Baptist Church in Miami, FL. His sermon, “When Praise Become a Priority,” was taken from Psalms 63:4.

Pastor Royal told those in attendance, that when praise becomes a priority, the perils of our predicaments will be transformed when we praise God. “When we praise God, he will turn our frowns into smiles” And lastly, he assured Pastor Sinclair Royal and the Jordan Baptist that God will never leave them in a storm.”

After the sermon, Dr. Robert Murphy extended the invitation to Christ and one gentleman came to request prayer.

Pastor Sinclair Royal gave expressions of gratitude on behalf of the Jordan Baptist Church Family and afterwards, Pastor A. Royal prayed for Pastor Sinclair Royal and the Jordan Baptist Church Family.

Special thanks to Rev. Dr. T.L. Brown, Pastor of the “Exciting” Ervay Cedar Baptist Church, who coordinated the program; to Dr. C.C. Robertson and the Bexar Street Baptist Church for the use of their facility for the benefit program. To Pastor Kevin Pritchard and the Rolling Hills Baptist Church Family for opening their doors and allowing Pastor Royal and Jordan Baptist Church to worship in their facility; and “thank you” to all who came out to give and be a blessing to the Jordan Baptist Church Family.

Both men also traveled with their wives to film Jumping the Broom.

Mr. Thicke said he enjoyed being with his wife and interacting with the crew.

Ms. Edmonds agreed.

“It was a wonderful experience and I hope to work with Bishop Jakes again in the future. We were in Nova Scotia working and we had a wonderful time together. It was beautiful there and I enjoyed the experience.”

Ms. Edmonds also produced the movie “Soul Food,” which eventually became a popular television series. She even mentioned the pos-

sibility of a Jumping the Broom II. And Bishop Jakes, who has written several best-sellers, said he is looking at future projects and bringing more projects to the big screen.

In Jumping the Broom, pay special attention to funnyman Michael Epps.

While there is an expectation that he will be spouting side-wrenching lines every time he opens his mouth, he is equally impressive having the serious conversations and making sense out of the chaos.

Is Jumping the Broom worth a visit to the theater? Without a doubt and when (and only when--SAY NO TO BOOTLEGGING!) it makes it to DVD, you should have a copy for your collection.

History of Mother’s Day Mother’s Day began: in 1858, when anna Jarvis, a young appalachian homemaker, organized “Mother’s work days” to improve the sanitation and avert deaths from disease-bearing insects and seepage of polluted water. in 1872, when Boston poet, pacifist and women’s suffragist Julia ward Howe established a special day for mothers —and for peace— not long after the bloody franco-Prussian war. in 1905, when anna Jarvis died. Her daughter, also named anna, decided to memorialize her mother’s lifelong activism, and began a campaign that culminated in 1914 when Congress passed a Mother’s day resolution.

--Each woman and all of these events have contributed to the present occasion now celebrated on the second Sunday in May

elcome to the weekend, Baaby! Gooooooo MAVS!!!

Mike Epps, ya know I luv ya, but tonight while you are making em laugh, it’s on with the Lakers and Kobe 15 minutes aways at the American Airlines Center!

I think the Mavs proved something to themselves this week, in beating a Laker squad that saw Kobe Bryant on fire! Tyson Chandler’s brought the attitude and ya gotta believe the rest of the team has caught it! Dirk has finally realized he can’t be stopped by one man...Jason Terry has fought thru is grief and shooting funk....Jason Kidd is truly the Godfather...Peja is doing Peja...JJ Barea is barely 6 feet tall, but has the heart of a giant...I mean the list of why Mark Cuban’s team could upset the Lakers is long. It could really happen! Gooooooo MAVS!!! Saturday night, check out the African Music Legend Femi Kuti at Dallas House of Blues...The interJason Kidd Dallas MAVs national flavour will be full blast.

From his 1st Afrobeat Album in 1998, Shoki Shoki, to his most recent singles like “Bad Government” and “Nobody Beg,” he is truly an International Music Ambassador! Yes, it’ll be a wayyy different vibe, but if ya wanna be a citizen of the world, ya better start opening yourself to it’s sounds....”Judge Judy” is keeping her hand firmly on the gavel through 2015. Judy Sheindlin signed a new multi-year deal to stay with the long-running syndicated program, CBS Television Distribution said Monday. A former New York judge, the tough-talking Sheindlin presides over smallclaims cases on her program — in its 15th season. She’s 68 and trippin, imagine Judge Judy at 72, like whoa! My

www.dfwelitenews.com-

partner Bloodhound Benny discovered just how much Lil Wayne’s 12-year-old daughter is making on the BET reality show starring her mom. The production company behind “TOYA: A Family Affair” was legally obligated to file a minor’s contract with L.A. County Superior court so 12-year-old Reginae Carter could get paid for the show. I love it that this lil Black Girl is making 2,000 dollars for each episode... If this happened at Judge Judy sheindlin my house, no more allowance,lol!!!

Looks like there is some old school/new school ish brewing between Ice-T and Soulja Boy. The legendary West Coast rapper explained in a recent interview that hip hop has really gone south, referring to Soulja Boy’s music and specifically his goal to produce a mini-movie remake of “Juice.” “At some point somebody gotta stop it,” Ice-T said. It’s unclear whether he was referring to stopping Soulja Boy or stopping the beef between the two artists. Did you see FAST Five last weekend? The director of “Fast Five” has confirmed plans for another Fast and Furious sequel in the wake of its $86.2 million opening weekend at the U.S. box office. So, thank you! Who’s your favorite movie director, Spielberg or maybe Spike Lee? Well for me, it’s Quentin Tarantino! From Pulp Fiction to Kill Bill and beyond, he’s the man!

Quentin Tarantino is one of those movie makers who just knows no boundaries and is willing to try anything. In his most recent venture, he’s daring to tackle the American dark past of slavery.

Called a spaghetti western-esque film, “Django Unchained” is about a German bounty hunter who helps former enslaved man Django rescue his wife from a plantation owner. Alrighty then Q.T.! Happy Birthday to YOU and Celebs this week:Willie Mays is 80, Jackie Jackson is 60, George Clooney is 50 and Dancing With The Stars Cheryl Burke is 27!
