United States Braces for Gustav, Louisiana Calls State of Emergency



Louisiana called a state of emergency and put the National Guard on standby, preparing for a possibly devastating hurricane Gustav. Currently at wind speeds just below hurricane threshold, Gustav will probably pick up a lot of energy after passing between Cuba and Mexico and entering the warm and deep Gulf waters.

Solange Knowles Knows Not of Good Manners

Solange Knowles Knows Not of Good Manners


Hit singer Beyonce’s younger sister appeared Wednesday on the Las Vegas daytime FOX entertainment show "More" promoting her new album entitled "Sol-Angel & The Hadley St. Dreams." Since the closing of the Vegas branch of Jay-Z's club 40/40 had recently become official, the news anchor asked Solange whether she could mention the rap-singer, who happens to be Solange’s brother-in-law, during the interview.
