Jonas to Open with Epic Performance of His Chart Topping Hits on Saturday, March 28, at 8PM (ET/PT) Live from The “Fabulous” Forum

 Santa Monica, Calif. – March 5, 2015 – Multitalented recording artist and actor Nick Jonas adds to his hosting duties with an opening performance of his number-one radio hit “Jealous” and Billboard Top 20 smash “Chains” at Nickelodeon’s 28th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards.  Also set to take the stage at this year’s show are hip-hop phenomenon Iggy Azalea, who will be joined by Grammy-winner Jennifer Hudson on their hit “Trouble,” and Aussie pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer with the chart-topper “What I Like About You.” The Kids’ Choice Awards will air live from The “Fabulous” Forum in Inglewood, Calif., on Saturday, March 28, 8-9:30 p.m. (ET/PT).  Kids can cast their votes in 21 categories across all of Nickelodeon’s digital outlets – Nick.com desktops and mobile devices, as well as the Nick app on iOS, Kindle, and Android – and users will be able to vote on Nickelodeon’s Twitter feed using #KCA.
 
“We are so excited to be nominated and perform at the Kids’ Choice Awards! It’s our first time at the show and it's going to be awesome!” said 5 Seconds of Summer.
 
Triple-KCA nominee Iggy Azalea is up for “Favorite New Artist,” while hit songs “Fancy” (featuring Charli XCX) and “Problem” (Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea) are contenders for “Favorite Song of the Year.”  Iggy burst onto the charts with the smash, “Fancy,” making history on the Billboard Hot 100 as the longest-leading #1 by a female rapper after an astounding seven weeks at the top of the charts.  Iggy made chart history again as the first artist since The Beatles to rank at #1 and #2 simultaneously, and her debut album The New Classic peaked at #1 on the Billboard Rap Album charts--the first for an international female artist.  This year, Iggy was nominated for four Grammy awards including Best New Artist and Best Rap Album, and just recently dropped her new single, “Trouble” featuring Grammy and Academy Award-winner Jennifer Hudson, which is steadily climbing the charts. Hudson’s highly acclaimed album, “JHUD,” was released in Fall 2014 in the top 10 on Billboard’s Top 200 and recently garnered Hudson her fifth Grammy nomination. Hudson has also been seen blowing up the dance charts with Gorgon City’s number one hit track, “Go All Night.” Hudson’s breakout film performance in “Dreamgirls” garnered her an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a BAFTA and an NAACP Image Award. Additional film credits include “Sex and the City,” “Secret Life of Bees,” “Winnie Mandela,” “The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete,” and “Black Nativity.”
 
Pop-rockers 5 Seconds of Summer, nominated for “Favorite New Artist,” released their self-titled debut album in July 2014. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and logged the biggest first-week-U.S. sales of any new artist debut of 2014. It has topped the iTunes charts in 76 countries and, in five short months, has sold more than three million units worldwide.

  By Mona Austin One of the most eligible bacherlors in Christianity has tied the knot - Marvin Winans remarries After being single for almost 30 years, legendary gospel singer and Bishop Marvin L. Winans, Sr. has wed his long time girlfriend Deneen R. Carter. Carter is a 57-year-old physical therapist and minister at Perfecting Church in Detroit, founded by Winans. Little is known about the bride publicly. The gospel legend introduced the now Mrs. Winans as his fiance to the congregants of Perfecting in October of 2021. The couple had been in a relationship for 15 years. Pastor Winans was previously married to fellow gospel singer Vicki Winans (with whom he has two sons) for 16 years before they divorced in 1995. Held at the Colony Club in Detroit, MI, on April 22, the wedding was officiated by fellow COGIC Bishop Darrell Hines. "Let their lives be full of joy as they live according to your word," he prayed. If we are judging by floral count, this could be one of th...

The lesser known scandalous life of Frederick Douglass

buzzz worthy. . . By Mona Austin Much of what the average American knows about Frederick Douglass lies in the pages of "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave."  His memory has lived on through the annals of history as a heroic abolitionist. A recent article revered Douglass  as "A king among men."  Note to The Atlantic writer who wrote those words in the article  Memo to the White House on the Contributions of Frederick Douglass  --  applying t hat very Biblical reference to Douglass is an overstatement.  The article was a response  to President Donald Trump saying at a White House "Listening Session " on Black History Month that   Douglass is  “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”  The Atlantic article was intended to show Mr.Trump and others who may be ignorant of his significance that Douglass was not on the sidelines of Bl...
