WASHINGTON
D.C., U.S.A. (September 9, 2011) – Monica Haule was recently selected to
represent Tanzania in the Miss Africa USA pageant on Sunday, November 13th,
in Silver Spring, MD.
Each
delegate will have a profile on the Miss Africa USA website which details their
platform and projects for communities in Africa and America that are in need.
Supporters of Haule will be able to log on to the site this month to cast their
vote and the delegate with the most votes will be crowned the “People’s
Princess.” Haule is representing her country of origin, Tanzania, and her
platform is illiteracy.
Haule’s
interest in reading began when she was a mere 3-year-old by her father, the
late journalist and professor, Dr. John Haule. “Growing up, my parents
instilled a sense of purpose and direction through the world of books. The Miss
Africa USA pageant will provide the opportunity to get the word out to decrease
illiteracy.”
B2K Singer
The $2 Million Pot Fine
Is Totally Bogus, Dude
The B2K singer who could be hit for nearly $2 million in fines and lawyers fees because of his involvement in a marijuana dispensary ... might be the victim of a bum rap -- because we're told he has nothing to do with the pot shop anymore.
TMZ broke the story ... Dreux Pierre Frederic -- aka Lil' Fizz -- is being sued by the State of California, which claims he's a part owner in an illegal marijuana store in West Hollywood. According to the suit, the shop -- Little Amsterdam -- was operating in an area not zoned for pot dispensaries. The state is asking for $2,500 a day in fines from July, 2010 till now. Total -- more than a million bucks, and another possible $750,000 in law enforcement costs and lawyers fees.
But sources close to Fizz tell UNIQUEENTERTZ... he got out of the pot business in 2008. So, they say, the state is barking up the wrong tree.
We're told people close to Fizz have contacted the state, and authorities are now on the hunt for the real owners. But so far, Fizz is still a named defendant.
