 After being engaged for over a year, 20 year old Bobbi Kristina, the only child of late singer Whitney Houston, has married her adoptive brother and longtime friend, Nick Gordon. Bobbi took to twitter yesterday to announce their marriage and show off their wedding bands.

God forgive for saying this, but how stupid can some people be? And how do you follow and obey another human being so blindly? A pastor in South Africa, Pastor Lesego Daniel (you will find his pics after the cut) is making his members eat grass. Yes, grass!
