ANJELAH JOHNSON COMIX presents

ANJELAH JOHNSON

Anjelah Johnson’s hugely successful, viral comedy video, “Nail Salon,” was one of the most-viewed YouTube and Google videos of 2007, and propelled her career to new heights. Johnson credits include guest starring on “The Shield” and “Love Inc.,” and co-starring in the feature films “The Box,” “Our Family Wedding” and “Alvin & the Chipmunks 2 – The Squeakuel.” Johnson recurred on FOX’s long-running hit, “MADtv,” as one of the first Latina comedians to join a sketch comedy series, and received a 2008 ALMA Award nomination for “Outstanding Female Performance in a Comedy Television Series.” In 2008, she was invited to showcase her standup in the “New Faces” category at the Just For Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival, and she released a one-hour special for Comedy Central and a Warner Brothers Records DVD in February 2010. Mature Audiences

If Gnarls Barkley’s five-year hiatus since releasing its critically heralded The Odd Couple is driving you crazy, Cee-Lo Green has some good news.

The Gnarls half and Voice judge insists that the duo will “definitely” release another project in the future--once he pulls his partner DJ Danger Mouse into the studio.

CURTIS "SHOWTIME" STEVENS

SIGNS PROMOTIONAL CONTRACT WITH MAIN EVENTS

TOTOWA, NJ - Main Events announced today that they have signed middleweight hopeful Curtis "Showtime" Stevens to an exclusive promotional contract. Stevens, born and bred in Brownsville, Brooklyn, NY, has a strong amateur pedigree, a solid professional record of 23-3, 17 KOs, and is a hot commodity after his most recent bout.

Stevens needed less than one round to finish off the seasoned and usually-durable Elvin Ayala last month in a nationally televised fight for the Vacant NABF Middleweight Title. Stevens brutally handled Ayala, dropping him twice in the opening round to send the message that he is ready to take on the best of the 160-pound division. It was the second consecutive first round knockout for Stevens, who halted Romaro Johnson after just 2:16, last March in his first middleweight bout.

After trimming down from the super middleweight division, Stevens is in the best shape of his life, and the move seems to have raised his game to a whole new level.  

Stevens feels he now has the right tools to dominate the division. He expressed, "Everybody on your team isn't always in your corner, but now I'm signed to Main Events, and I have a great team in my corner. I had 2 years off and now I'm back. Now I'm going to take over the middle weight division. All glory be to God."
  

Stevens began boxing professionally in 2004 and reeled off thirteen straight wins to start his career. Among his victims in that opening streak was former world champion Carl Daniels. "Showtime" went on to defeat undefeated Pitor Wilczewski by knockout, and well as road warriors Dhafir Smith and Darnell Boone by decision.

Now with two explosive middleweight victories in his pocket and two Top-10 world rankings to his credit, #8 WBC and #10 IBF, Stevens is poised to make a run to the top of the division.

Main Events, whose NBC SPORTS NETWORK boxing series FIGHT NIGHT kicked off its second season with the Stevens-Ayala bout, has created an effective platform where hungry fighters can build and advance their boxing careers. Curtis Stevens took advantage of the opportunity to use the popular series as a springboard to a world title. 

Kathy Duva, Main Events CEO, said, "Curtis has the potential to go all the way. He has power, skills, and miles of personality. His stunning first round KO of Elvin Ayala on NBC Fight Night in January made quite a statement and we listened. We are so pleased to make Curtis part of the Main Events family and look forward to having much success together."

APTourists in Los Angeles were shocked to learn this week that the body of a Canadian woman had been found at the bottom of a water tank at their hotel in the city’s downtown area. Elisa Lam, 21, was last seen at the Cecil Hotel on Jan. 31, according to L.A. police. Her parents reported her missing earlier this month, and a maintenance worker discovered the body Tuesday as he was looking into complaints about the water pressure in the building. It seems very possible that guests have been drinking and bathing with water contaminated by a body that has been decomposing for nearly two weeks.

Jimmy Burchfield's Cornerman Club

Greetings! 
A Message from the President
 
Friends, Family and Fans, from Team CES I hope everyone in New England got through the most recent snow storm safe and without harm.  As we look forward to our next event, I am very excited to announce the rematch between "The Pride of Providence" Peter Manfredo Jr. and "The KO Kid" Joey Spina.  This fight has been 6 years in the making and I hope to see you all there!  Also, this Friday we have a very special night planned at Flare Restaraunt in West Warwick.  It will be a major Pep Rally for this Boxing fight, as well as a Victory Party for newly crowned CES MMA Lightweight Champion Mike Campbell and Andre Soukhamthath, who both won on February 1st.  We will show both fights on the the TV's there as well as a free buffet, live music, prizes and dancing!
 
This event is open to the public and we hope to see you all there!
 
Much Respect and God Bless,
Jimmy

Manfredo-Spina II Set for March 15th!

More than six years have passed since Peter Manfredo Jr. knocked out fellow Providence native Joey Spina on national television at The Dunkin' Donuts Center in what was, at the time, Rhode Island's biggest turf war.

 

As they prepare to face one another again Friday, March 15th, 2013 at the Twin River Event Center in the latest chapter of their longstanding rivalry, both Spina (26-3-2, 18 KOs) and Manfredo Jr. (38-7, 20 KOs) are dealing with the fact there's much more at stake now than there was the first time they fought in 2006.

 

The pressure's higher than ever; Manfredo Jr., now on his second fight since returning to professional boxing in November, will turn 33 later this year, while Spina, coming off consecutive losses for the first time in his career, is 35.  Time is no longer an ally, and a loss March 15th could derail both fighters in what is shaping up to be their final run at championship glory.

Don't mess with Texas: Kelly Clarkson has a few words for Clive Davis

We've never known Kelly Clarkson to not say exactly what she thinks, and true to form, the singer is giving her honest opinion of Clive Davis' new memoir, "Soundtrack of My Life."

In an open letter tweeted from her official account, the singer says she has a different recollection of some events Davis reportedly includes in his book, which details his work with a wide variety of A-list artists as well as personal details,like his bisexuality.

"I just heard Clive Davis is releasing a memoir and spreading false information about me and my music," Clarkson begins, after a proper Texan greeting, in her letter posted to WhoSay on Tuesday. "I refuse to be bullied and I just have to clear up his memory lapses and misinformation for myself and for my fans. It feels like a violation. Growing up is awesome because you learn you don't have to cower to anyone – even Clive Davis."

Former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. enters U.S. District Court WednesdayFormer Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. enters U.S. District Court Wednesday.

Washington (CNN) -- Dabbing at his eyes with a handkerchief, former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. pleaded guilty on Wednesday to one federal charge related to years of using campaign funds for personal expenses that included purchases of Michael Jackson memorabilia and a Rolex watch.

"Guilty, your honor," Jackson responded to U.S. District Judge Robert Wilkins after looking back at family members in the courtroom, including his father, civil rights activist Jesse Jackson.

"I used monies that should have been used for campaign purposes," Jackson acknowledged to the judge. When Wilkins asked if Jackson realized that the guilty plea meant giving up the right to a trial, he responded: "I have no interest in wasting the taxpayers' time or money."
