JACKSON, Miss. — A college student has been missing for a week, and this city’s police chief says her race is the reason her disappearance hasn’t gotten more attention.
Latasha Norman, who is black, was last seen November 13 in one of her classes at Jackson State University. Her car was left on the campus, and the 20-year-old never returned to her dormitory room.
Luther Samuel, a detective with the campus police, said investigators have combed the campus and have been searching all over the state, but no sightings of Norman have been reported.
Police say they have no suspects. Among the people they have questioned are her current boyfriend and an ex-boyfriend who was charged Thursday with hitting Norman last month.
Jackson Police Chief Malcolm McMillin said Norman’s disappearance should get “the same kind of concern” as that of Stacy Peterson, 23, a white woman from suburban Chicago who has been missing for three weeks.
Ne-Yo spoke with Big Tigger on his radio show on Tuesday about being dropped from the R.Kelly ‘Double Up’ tour earlier this week. He said it was foul the they dropped him and it kind of takes it personally. Here are the main points:
- On the Columbus, Georgia stop R.Kelly took over 7 dressing rooms. And Ne-Yo had to fight just to get one.
- No one could be in the hallway while R.Kelly was walking through.
- Concert reviewers were giving Ne-Yo great reviews and R.Kelly must have taken offense.
- Ne-Yo was suppose to get 4 hours to rehearse his set, but they tried to kick him off the stage in 2.
- He also speaks on the Keyshia Cole rumor.
Talk about effed up! Anyway, in a press release earlier this week Ne-Yo apologized to his fans about not being able to perform for them.
Chris Brown premiered his new video for the single, “With You” from his sophomore album, Exclusive on MySpace the other day. “With You” is produced by Stargate.
Wow. I absolutely love this song. I see why it didn’t make the original release of As I Am, but I am absolutely loving this song. From Alicia’s voice, to the arrangement, to the production of the song, it is pretty much flawless to me. She really did it to me on this one. It just puts me in a different time. I almost like this song more than I like anything else on the new record, which was released last Tuesday.
As I Am was the biggest selling debut for a female artist since Mary J. Blige with The Breakthrough, selling over 700K. You can’t turn on MTV or VH1 without seeing her! Way to go, Alicia. She’s really doing it this time around.
