Video After The Jump
WASHINGTON (Associated Press) — In the hours before President Barack Obama arrived at a Johannesburg soccer stadium to honor Nelson Mandela, the White House staff was in the dark on critical details.
Where would the president and first lady Michelle Obama sit? When was Obama supposed to speak? Who else would be on stage during the speech?
The result was an array of confusion and security risks that typically would not be tolerated by the Secret Service in the United States. The situation showed just how the Secret Service often is at the mercy of foreign governments to make arrangements when the president is overseas.
There were metal detectors and X-ray machines at the stadium, but they were not used on the initial crowds streaming in for the ceremony, according to Associated Press reporters on scene.
Many people walked through with little or no screening. Inside the stadium there were few signs of the heavy security that routinely would accompany an event with Obama and other world leaders.
The VIP section was where Obama and dozens of other dignitaries sat, including former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. This area was protected by a short pane of protective glass that covered only those in the first row of seats. Obama and his wife were several rows back.
Large crowds were allowed to gather in front of where Obama sat, with no visible security nearby.
When Obama made his way to the stage to deliver his speech, a South African sign-language interpreter stood an arm's length away. This man later described himself as schizophrenic with violent tendencies, and he reportedly was accused of murder 10 years ago, according to the national eNCA TV news station in South Africa.
Secret Service officials say the South African government was responsible for the decision to place interpreter Thamsanqa Jantjie just inches from some of the most powerful people in the world during a four-hour memorial service.
"Program items such as stage participants or sign-language interpreters were the responsibility of the host organizing committee," said Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan. "For the purposes of this memorial service, this would include vetting them for criminal history and other appropriate records checks."
Brian Dube, a spokesman for South Africa's Ministry of State Security, declined to answer questions Saturday about what security measures were in place at the soccer stadium and what sort of background checks and screening were performed on Jantjie. Dube said those issues are part of the investigation into the hiring and use of the interpreter.
Donovan said prearranged security procedures were in place Tuesday and agents were "in close proximity," a standard security practice wherever the president is. He declined to discuss specific security details of Obama's trip to South Africa.
The Secret Service is charged with keeping the president, vice president and their families safe. Presidential trips, whether across the country or around the world, are meticulously planned with every imaginable detail within the agency's control managed and scheduled.
But once the president leaves the United States, the Secret Service isn't always entirely in control.
Joe Hagin, a former deputy White House chief of staff for Bush, said that to some degree the Secret Service is at the mercy of a host government.

"There's a lot of diplomacy involved in one of these trips," said Hagin, now a partner at Command Consulting Group in Washington. "The White House is very demanding. But there's a fine line in what you can demand and what you can't."
Hagin said some security issues are simply nonnegotiable, including allowing the president to ride in any vehicle that hasn't been flown in by the Secret Service. The Secret Service also won't allow the president to leave his security detail.
"You manage the risks. You can never fully mitigate them," Hagin said.
It was apparent from Obama's arrival in South Africa that security was not up to Secret Service standards.
Roads typically are shut down for the president's motorcade. But the highway between the military base where Air Force One landed and the suburban Johannesburg hotel where he spent time before the memorial service was filled with morning rush hour traffic, forcing the motorcade at times to slow to a crawl.
If Secret Service officials aren't satisfied with security protocols for a foreign trip, the agency can and has advised against going, said Joseph LaSorsa, a retired Secret Service agent.
Hagin said that was the case when President Ronald Reagan wanted to travel to Egypt for the funeral of Anwar Sadat, who was assassinated in Cairo in 1981.
"Reagan wanted to go and the Secret Service said no," said Hagin, who also worked in the White House under Reagan.
When Pope John Paul II died in Rome in 2005, Hagin said, the decision to have Bush travel to the Vatican was "an easy one."
LaSorsa, who is now a security consultant, said if anyone is to blame for allowing Jantjie on stage, it is the South African government staff member who selected him.
"I don't really see this as a Secret Service issue. It just highlights the risk of international travel," Hagin said.

Beyonce could have the biggest financial windfall of her career in 2014. With the release of her new album today the singer has put herself in a position of power. Check out what Forbes had to say about B's financial prospects for next year.
She’s already played 97 shows on her Mrs. Carter World Tour this year–and, in combination with the buzz for her new album, that could catapult her to the most lucrative year of her already storied career. FORBES calculates earnings on the half-year, meaning that the scoring period for 2014 will run from June 2013 to June 2014.
Beyoncé is already scheduled for 83 shows during that span, and that’s not counting additional bookings that could fill up April and May. She’s currently grossing over $2 million per city, according to Pollstar. Factoring in merchandise sales at her sold-out shows, that means she’s likely taking home somewhere around $1 million per night–if not more–before paying out agents, managers and Uncle Sam.
Those sorts of touring numbers alone should be enough to equal Beyoncé’s best years to date, her twin peaks of $87 million in both 2009 and 2010. Factor in endorsements with Pepsi and H&M, in addition to her other ventures and record sales, and she should easily double the $53 million she made this year. She’ll also challenge for music’s earnings crown, which went to Madonna at $125 million for 2013.
As for the new album, it’s too early for sales numbers. But there’s at least one indicator that points to success: in 12 hours, Beyoncé has already garnered half as many reviews on iTunes as Katy Perry’s PRISM and one-third as many as Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP. Both albums sold about a quarter of a million copies in their opening weeks.
Furthermore, Beyoncé’s strategy of selling her album as a whole for the first week–rather than allowing fans to buy songs a la carte–could prove incredibly valuable. Before the digital revolution in music, that was the status quo, and it led to platinum opening weeks for scores of artists who’d now be lucky to sell a third of that over the life of an entire album.

Beyonce's self-titled visual album is off to a great start in the sales department. Released on Friday (December 13), instead of the traditional Tuesday releases, the album is projected by Hits Daily Double to sell 200,000 units by the end of this sales week.
What makes the numbers impressive is the fact that it is an iTunes exclusive until all retail outlets get it on December 21, and it had no prior promotion.
The album contains 14 songs and 17 music videos (one for each album track + 3 additional).

Artists can get very touchy when it comes to their work. Wale released his third studio album entitled The Gifted in June of this year. It was a solid body of work that featured the hit record "Bad" with Tiara Thomas.
Complex recently released their top 50 albums of 2013 list and The Gifted wasn't on it.
Wale called the Complex office on Thursday (December 12) and went completely ballistic because of the omission.
So, you think y'all being a responsible publication by continuously to f*cking like... do all do all that petty sh*t? At this point, you know it’s got to be personal. And by ou telling me it’s not personal. It's like a bold face lie. To be omitted from every type of list that y’all do or be at the bottom of it or every type of way that y’all can omit me, ya will. I just want somebody to be 100 with me a be like, 'Yeah, you might have rubbed somebody the wrong way years ago in some form or fashion.' Because I've had no interaction with the company in years. You mean to tell me Juicy J album better than mine? Is that what you trying to tell me?! Don't play me man. I came at you civil right now, but it can go completely in another direction. Respect me, dog. Respect the f*cking culture right now! Because right now it's like some petty sh*t going on right now. And I'm trying to get to the bottom of it in a civil manner.
After being told that Complex didn't meant to disrespect him, the rapper completely loses it.
Man, f*ck you dog! You know it's disrespect! Every f*cking time, dog. I swear to God I'll come to that f*cking office and start knocking n*ggas the f*ck out. You wanna see some ghetto ignorant sh*t? That's the only thing y'all promote. That's the only thing y'all promote from n*ggas, is ghetto ignorant sh*t! You giving me the same song and dance like I'm a f*cking idiot. You think I'm a f*cking idiot? Is that what you're trying to tell me? I think you think think I'm a f*cking idiot. Because y'all always do this sh*t How you mean to tell me my album ain't in the top 50? Alright, I'll see y'all tomorrow n*ggas tomorrow. How bout that? Get the security ready.

When the title of your album is Black Panties fans would expect a raunchy song or two. R. Kelly delivers on "Marry the Pussy."
The R&B superstar recently sat down with MTV to talk about the inspiration for the track.
Well, 'Marry the Pussy,' first of all, it's my favorite song on the album. I think it's a classic, myself, I didn't do it for radio; I just did it because I heard it and it felt good to me. That's usually the way I roll in the studio, I'm gonna be free and then I'm gonna let the world edit what they want to edit," he explained. "But I'm going to be free and do what I feel, and 'Marry the Pussy' came to me outta nowhere in the studio just messing with a track and it felt good to me.
Could there be a second version in the works?
You know, I might remix it or something if it don't go right.
Black Panties is available now on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/black-panties-deluxe-version/id742663988.

With an obvious departure from his previous works, this talentedLos Angeles rapper showcases his lyricism on the new track, while catapulting himself as an artist to be watched in 2014.
Azad demonstrates unwavering stamina leading to triumph, while others miss their window of opportunity. He says, “The lyrics and music are intense, so we needed the imagery to be very provocative and illustrative. We came up with four vignettes that appear to be non related to the video but in fact represent the inverse of what I am saying.”

A beef has been brewing between Atlanta rap group Migos and Glory Boyz Entertainment CEO Chief Keef for over a week now..
After the release of Migos' song "Brokanese," Keef felt like it was a diss aimed at him and sent out a tweet addressing the situation. Migos responded by denying the accusation..Other GBE affiliates also got involved.
On Monday (December 9), Migos dropped a song entitled "Jealousy," that is widely believed to be a Chief Keef diss.
"I ain't never did a sneak diss/ Call my hitman quick to put you on the hit list/ I guess they mad cause we young and rich/ I guess they mad cause we f*cked they b*tch."
Migos sat down with MTV to talk about the ongoing beef.
"Like your mama use to say. If the shoe fit, that's it," Quavo said, in response to a question regarding whether "Jealousy" was a shot at Keef.
"Honestly, it caught us by surprise," Offset explained of Keef' reaction to "Brokanese."
"You know, people gonna take it however they gonna take it and put it however they wanna put it," Takeoff added. "If you listen to the song, it's self-explanatory. If [I'mma] do one, [I'mma] say ya name to keep it 100. Ain't no need for me to be sneak-dissing."

Khloe Kardashian has thrown in the towel on her marriage to Lamar Odom and will file for divorce today, according to TMZ.
The last several months have been full of ups and downs...mostly downs for the two. Odom reportedly has been battling a crack addiction. The basketball player refused Khloe's pleas to enter a rehab facility. In the end a bizarre video of an intoxicated Odom rapping about cheating on his wife made her decide to walk away from their three-year marriage.
The soon to be ex-couple got married on September 27, 2009, exactly one month after meeting each other. They have no children.
