“I’m honored that you guys came here tonight,” Chapelle said to the June 7 audience. “I want you to know that just by coming to see me you supported this city. I’m not taking a dime.”

“As far as American leadership is concerned, yes," said McCain, who also vocally criticized many of the Obama administration's foreign policy decisions.
Oprah Winfrey wont be saving the TV series Underground
Rumor had it that The Oprah Winfrey Network was one of the channels (in addition to BET and Hulu) considering picking up the show starring Jurnee Smollett and Aldis Hodge. But at an L.A. press event this week for her network's series, Queen Sugar, Winfrey confirmed that won't be happening.
"I can't afford Underground," Winfrey told a group of eight journalists. "It cost twice as much to make as Queen Sugar. As a matter of fact, my dear friend John Legend called me personally and asked me about it, but we'd already been talking about how we could make it work [...] it's like $5 million an episode, so we can't afford it. It's not cheap, I think because it's a period piece."
Winfrey added that on top of the price, though the show was often trending on Twitter, it just didn't have the ratings to justify the expense, especially considering that OWN is still a young and growing network. "We really tried to make it work," she says. "I wanted to make it work because I think it's a good show. I wanted to be able to save that show, but it did not make good business sense for me."

Rickhia McClam and Nicolette McClam, 12-year-old twin sisters, were supposed to get on a school bus to their Coral Springs middle school Tuesday morning, but police say they never made it.
On Wednesday, Coral Springs Police Department was asking for the community's help in finding the preteens, who were last seen by their father at about 6:45 a.m. Tuesday in the area of Northwest 85th Avenue and 35th Street.
“They are believed to be runaways at this point,” said Coral Springs police spokeswoman Karla Kmiotek. “But they are only 12.”
The girls, who have long dark hair and brown eyes, are approximately 5 feet, 2 inches and weigh 105 pounds.
Police say the sisters may be in the West Palm Beach area or headed to New York City, where their mother lives.
Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Michelle Kull at 954-344-1800.
