CATHOLIC LEAGUE FIRES NICKI MINAJ FOR DRAGGING THE ‘POPE’ TO THE GRAMMYS (VIDEO)

She might not have won any awards on Sunday, February 12, 2012, but new age hip-hop artiste Nicki Minaj sure did get a lot of attention at the 54th Grammy Awards where she delivered a rather provocative performance.

Minaj came dressed to the Grammy’s in a large Versace designed red robe with a man dressed like the Pope. As if that wasn’t enough – levitated, spoke in tongues and acted possessed with the man on stage.

That’s not all; during the performance a short video clip was played on the screens for the audience at the Staples Centre, LA and viewers back home to watch – The clip was a re-enactment of the 1971 ‘demonic possession and exorcism’ movie The Exorcist.

The problem is, she seems to have bitten more than she can chew as the Catholic League have fired out at her asking if she might be possessed.

The Catholic league is not just unhappy with Minaj but also the Recording Academy, organizers of the awards.

‘Whether Minaj is possessed is surely an open question, but what is not in doubt is the irresponsibility of The Recording Academy. Never would they allow an artist to insult Judaism or Islam.’ Catholic League President Bill Donohue said in the press release titled Is Nicki Minaj Possessed?

‘It’s bad enough that Catholics have to fight for their rights vis-a-vis a hostile administration in Washington without also having to fend off attacks in the entertainment industry. The net effect, however, will only embolden Catholics, as well as their friends in other faith communities’, Donohue continued.

Minaj is not new to controversies; and her new video ‘Stupid Hoe’ was only recently banned by BET because of its ‘explicit contents’.

REPORTS HAVE IT THAT IPAD 3 TO BE LAUNCHED IN MARCH

So is it true? Is Apple ready to unveil the iPad 3 on March 7? Well before you go marking your calendars or start camping outside of your nearest Apple store, read the rest of the article but rumour has it that the tech giant is all set to launch its latest version of the iPad and where once speculated to be happening sometime towards the end of the year, recent reports suggest the launch is almost weeks away.

The news apparently comes from many sources but was voiced in particular by Ezra Gottheil, an analyst from Technology Business Research who said in an interview with online computer news source, Computer World that the launch of the new iPad in March was a “sure bet.” In the interview itself, Gotteil even revealed some details about the highly anticipated new iPad saying, “It will have a higher-resolution screen. That's important to them because it means the iPad will work well with home cinema systems, since it will display full HD.”

Of course being an Apple product, everything about it is strictly under wraps and techies have been speculating on hear say alone. But so far what has been revealed is that the iPad 3 will look pretty similar to its present iteration the iPad 2, with some leaked pictures apparently confirming this. The iPad will also be offering full HD display as well as a SIRI personal assistant but most importantly it may just offer, according to tech blog iMore, the highly anticipated 2048x1536 retina display and a quad-core Apple A6 chip.

Apparently at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Apple unveiled some accessories for the iPad 3 behind closed doors, and it is said that most of what was shown more or less resembled the iPad 2.

But it wasn’t only the iPad 3 that maybe making its launch. According to Gottheil, Apple is also planning to launch a smaller and cheaper version of the iPad, aimed at competing with Amazon’s Kindle Fire. Though this smaller iPad, with a 7 inch screen was not an idea that late founder of Apple, Steve JobsSteve Jobs liked, saying that the smaller screen would ruin user experience and that the idea would be “dead on arrival,” the Kindle Fire has disproved this, going on to become a best-seller, selling almost six million units. Apple is now said to be planning its own 7 inch tablet, something that Gottheil said has “always been in the plan,” adding, “Seven inches is a good form factor for some users, and although they will also charge a premium above other similar-sized tablets, they want to protect that price flank.”

It was also added that the launch of the new iPad will apparently be happening at a launch event in San Francisco.

FAMILY DIVIDED OVER WHITNEY HOUSTONS'S BURIAL

There's a rift in Whitney Houston's family over where she should be laid to rest ... TMZ has learned.

Family sources tell us ... Dionne Warwick, Whitney's cousin, and Cissy Houston, Whitney's mom, both want the burial to take place in Atlanta. They believe Atlanta is the place Whitney enjoyed the most and had the fondest memories.

But the rest of the family wants Whitney buried in Newark -- where she was born, and subsequently discovered at a local Baptist church (below).

We're told Cissy's position is succinct:  "Michael Jackson did not want to be buried in New Jersey, and Whitney did not want to  be buried in New Jersey."

We're told Cissy and Dionne caved, after other family members convinced them New Jersey is where the world will remember her most.

It's unclear why they think the world will remember Whitney more in Newark than ATL.

No offense New Jersey.

ABOUT DESMOND ELLIOT NEW LOOK

Close pals of top actor,producer and director,Desmond Elliot,will no doubt agree that in the past two years,he was becoming puffed up like a balloon with his cheeks filling out.

Back then,he was a cause for concern for his fans and friends and they gave him warnings on the state of his figure.

It seemed he has taken to those words of advice because in recent times,he is wearing a new look.

He was spotted at the launch of the new soap Catwalq and he showed that he must have worked on his body as he now looks trim and fit with a boyish appearance which had a very strong appeal to the females at the event.

PHOTO OF THE TUB IN WHICH WHITNEY HOUSTON DIED

TMZ has obtained a photo of the tub in which Whitney Houston died.

The photo was taken moments after police and EMTs removed Whitney's body from the bathroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The photo shows the tub still filled with water.  There's a gravy dish at the bottom of the tub, which Whitney typically filled with olive oil to keep her skin soft.

Notice the two circular objects -- they're hair ties.

And there's a towel at the bottom of the tub -- possibly worn by Whitney to keep her hair dry while she was bathing.
