BeBe Winans was on the Howard Stern Show recently to promote his new radio show on Sirius Radio and Howard Stern, who loves to meddle in Robin Quivers love life, was trying to get the two to go on a date.

According to reports, Stern kept pushing them to go on a date. “Love is in the air,” he said at one point, after Quivers discussed her recent marathon finish with Winans. Quivers has lost 80 pounds switching to a vegan diet, and she noted that Winans  has lost weight too. 

BeBe Winans will be getting his own weekly Gospel radio show on Sirius XM Radio. The show will be called the BeBe Experience and will air on Sirius channel 68 and XM channel 33 on Sundays at 2:00 pm eastern time and will rebroadcast at 6:00 pm eastern time on Tuesdays.

The BeBe Experience will feature Winans playing his favorite current and classic Gospel music and sharing personal stories about various artists. Listeners will also hear artist interviews and features with some of BeBe’s talented and renowned friends in the music and entertainment world.

Mmm.. I refrain from comment =)… What do you guys think?

More news concerning the Bishop Eddie Long case broke today, as New Birth and LongFellows Youth Academy make statements. 

New Birth Missionary Baptist Church acknowledges that Bishop Eddie Long’s accusers went with him on trips, but said it could not confirm or deny whether anything inappropriate happened.

The LongFellows Youth Academy, the church’s mentoring program for males also filed responses.

The Lithonia megachurch, in its response filed in DeKalb County State Court Monday, acknowledges that the men accompanied Long on trips, in some cases overseas, but said it couldn’t explain the nature of relationships that may have existed between Long and the men.

The church said Anthony Flagg, one of the accusers, traveled with Long on trips to Tuskegee, Ala., New York and Las Vegas, but couldn’t provide further details. It said it could not “admit or deny” allegations that the two were intimate.

The response said “the church understands that Bishop Long often shared hotel rooms with members of the congregation while traveling,” but it couldn’t say whether Flagg shared a room with Long. The response was filed by attorneys with the Atlanta law firm Drew Eckl Farnham.

Long has called the plaintiffs’ allegations false. His responses to the lawsuits were filed last week.  CLICK HERE to read Eddie Long’s official response to the allegations.

BMI will honor gospel greats Commissioned and Pastor Shirley Caesar at the organization’s 12th Annual Trailblazers of Gospel Music Awards Luncheon. The event is slated for January 14, 2011, the day before the 26th Annual Stellar Awards. Staged at Rocketown (601 4th Avenue South) in Nashville, the invitation-only celebration will welcome gospel music’s premier songwriters and recording artists, executives, and legends.

For 17 years, six-member group Commissioned spread the gospel with an emboldened sense of purpose and fierce musical skill. The group was co-founded in 1982 by past BMI Trailblazers honoree Fred Hammond, along with Michael Brooks, Karl Reid, Keith Stanton, Mitchell Jones and Michael Williams. As the lineup changed, standout members included Marvin Sapp and others. Funk, r&b and hip-hop grooves helped shape Commissioned’s groundbreaking sound, as lush harmonies carried the message to a receptive young audience that had previously seemed hard to reach. While Commissioned parted ways in 1999, their music remains a bold influence of contemporary gospel stars and a beloved favorite of fans around the world.

Pastor Shirley Caesar is the quintessential artist: In her soul-stirring gospel music, she has embodied progress without forsaking tradition. Her work with the Caravans first introduced her to large audiences. During her time with the legendary group, she preached her first sermon and delivered lead vocals on hits including “I Won’t Be Back,” “No Coward Soldiers,” “Holy Boldness,” and “Choose Ye This Day.” As a solo artist, Caesar soared. She embraced contemporary production and secular rhythms like r&b and disco. As a result, she climbed pop, r&b and gospel charts. In addition to a stunning 11 Grammys, Pastor Caesar has earned 18 Dove Awards and 14 Stellar Awards. Currently, she is the Senior Pastor of Mount Calvary Word of Faith in Raleigh, NC.

 I strongly feel that For Colored Girls helps deepen our sense of reality for what has happened in the past, and what is happening now to individuals throughout the world.  It has opened our eyes, and our minds to understand the root of a person.  We often wonder why someone’s head is always hung low, or why someone chooses substance abuse over their children.  The answer lies at the core of the problem which is not always easy to interpret.  It still remains a mystery as to why someone chooses eternal death over eternal life.  I believe the key is to ask for HELP, and realize that it’s always available to those who want it.

As I saw in the film, For Colored Girls teaches us a lesson of Love and the meaning of Luke 15:9 “And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.”   For Colored Girls embraces characters from all walks of life.  

The clear message that came from the film, is that throughout life God knows what we must go through in order to get us to the place where we are destined to be.  God is the potter, and we his people are the clay.  For every trial that we experience in life, a mold of who we are becoming is formed.

In For Colored Girls, we witness each woman being sculptured at the hand of God.  At the end of the film, a great transformation has taken place.  Eight lights began to shine bright that were once hidden by darkness.  For Colored Girls, is not a movie just for women of color, but it’s a story relatable to men and women of all shades.
