From R&B superstar Usher dealing with all of his family drama to 'Grey's Anatomy' star Isaiah Washington getting the pink slip after making gay slurs – of all things. Add to that the scandal of Pentecostal Prophetess Juanita Bynum allegedly being kicked, choked and stomped by her estranged husband Bishop Thomas Weeks III, and that's proof that '07 was a year like no other.
Featuring Jay-Z, Queen Latifah, Karrine Steffans, Kimora Lee Simmons, Sherri Shepherd, T.I., Whitney Houston, Will Packer, Miss New York, Rev. Al Sharpton, Mo'Nique and many others, The BV Newswire takes a candid look at some of the most buzzed about stories that made black entertainment news in 2007.

SHE'S A MONEY-HUNGRY, GLORY-HOUND, PUBLICITY SEEKING INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS NO MORALS WHATSOEVER. SHE'S JUST ANOTHER HIGH-PROFILED INDIVIDUAL WHO'S OUT HERE PIMPING THE MASSES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD. GRACE U NAILED IT WHEN U SAID SHE NEEDS TO SIT HER AZZ DOWN SOMEWHERE. I HOPES SHE READS THIS.

I don't think that we need to be so judgemental about these people because first of all we are not in heaven yet and there will be a day of judgement but this is not the time.
We are always so quick to judge another person when its not really our business let the people work it out whose ever involved and not us because we can't say what we would could and should do if we were in their shoes.
So basically we need to stop with the cussing and just express your opinion without verberally back lashing someone.
Let us be the bigger person and pray for these people and stop judging.
That is God's job not ours.

IT IS A SHAME THAT THE MUD SLINGS CONTIUES ON WITH CASE.
AS MEN AND WOMEN OF THE CLERGY I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A OUT RAGE THAT THE MEDIA IS STILL GETTING RATEING FROM THE MESS.
NOW I BELIEVE THAT IF EVER THER WAS A TIME FOR HEALING IT IS NOW.
THE CHURCH FAMILY AT LARGE IS TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT THIS AND THEY NEED TO DEAL WITH IT COURT BEHIND CLOSE DOORS.
GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSEION.
AND THIS IS THE OPEN BOOK FOR PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT THEM. AND SAY NASTY THINGS ABOUT THEM.
BISHOP WEEKS HAS A DAUGTHER DOES ANY ONE CARE ABOUT WHAT SHE MAY BE DEALING WITH WITH ALL THIS MUD SLINGING.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
TO BISHOP WEEKS AND DR. BYNUM
PLEASE STOP TALKING TO THE MEDIA AND ANY OTHER PUBLICATION ABOUT THIS MANNER.
IF YOU AS THAT YOU ARE OF THE CLERGY GET GODLY COUNSEL. TALK TO YOUR LAWYERS.
STOP TALKING TO THE PRESS.
ALLOW GOD TO START THE HEALING PROCESS IN YOUR LIFE.
I WAS IN A ABUSIVE MARRIAGE NOW IT"S OVER.
BUT I AM HEALED WITH OUT THE SCARS.
AND I AM DOING WELL AND I AM WHOLE BECAUSE I WENT THRU THE PROCESS OF ALLOWING GOD THE HEALER IN MY LIFE TO TO WHAT HE DOES BEST.
I AM PRAYING FOR THE CHURCH FAMILY AT LARGE AND THE FAMILY MEMBER OF BOTH OF THE FAMILYS OF THESE TO PASTORS.
MAY GOD CONTIUE TO DO WHAT HE DOES BEST START THE HEALING.
AND ALLOW YOU TO MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE.
