Coffee Talk: Obama Opens Up About Daily Prayer

With so much news in the headlines this morning, see why we’re opting for skim milk with our morning brew:

  • In a rare candid moment at the annual National Prayer Breakfast, President Obama opened up about his faith and relationship with God. His prayers touch on three themes; petitions for strength, humility, and a desire to walk closer with God. “My prayer this morning is that we might seek his face not only in those moments, but each and every day… that we might every so often rise above the here and now and kneel before the eternal,” said Obama. [Huff Po]

  • We hope you’re ready for super Sunday — and we’re not just talking about the game. Usher has been added to the Super Bowl halftime show! He’ll perform along side the Black Eyed Peas and ex-Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash. On another note, Christina Aguilera is scheduled to sing the National Anthem at the start of the game. There’s so much to look forward to besides the game. [Pop Eater]

  • Songstress Toni Braxton continues to have financial problems. Eurweb is reporting that her Georgia home is facing foreclosure, and that she reportedly owes on a $1.5 million mortgage on the house. Oh Toni, we don’t know what to say. [Eurweb]

  • Despite being in the headlines last week for negative news, Steve Harvey is pressing forward with his Mentoring Weekend for 100 teenage young men from Los Angeles. Actor Lamman Rucker, comedian Cedric The Entertainer and TV host Terrence J will come out to share words of wisdom. [BV]

  • To celebrate reaching 500,000 Twitter followers, LaLa Vazquez gave away some major prizes on her USTREAM channel with the help of BFF Kelly Rowland. Mrs. Carmelo Anthony gave away autographed shoes from hubby, watches from Flud, gift certificates from Rachel Roy and more… [Too Fab]

  • Kim Kardashian is upset her name is being thrown into the Halle Berry/Gabriel Aubry drama. According to the Chicago-Sun Times, Kim is “both amazed and extremely unhappy,” about the situation. Hell, there’s no good reason why she’s placed into the middle of their drama. [Pop Eater]

  • Jamie Foxx is planning to put on a show for the NBA All-Star Weekend celebration. The Jamie Foxx & Friends Official Kick Off Party will be held at the Nokia Theater in L.A. this year. The show will certainly have many guest performs and many laughs. [Eurweb]
