 Mobile, AL - On Monday night, Anthony Hopkins, 37, preached forgiveness at a church revival in Jackson. Seven of his eight children sat on the front row, and Hopkins looked his kids over and asked them to forgive him for his sins, “past, present, and future.” Right after church, Hopkins was arrested for incest, rape and sodomy against his daughter and for the murder of his wife, Arletha, who was found frozen in the family home while Hopkins was preaching his sermon. She’d been there for as long as three years.
The family home at 258 Rylands Lane was a quiet one, mostly. There was music, but everyone knew that was because Anthony Hopkins was an evangelist. What they didn’t know is that Hopkins was routinely raping at least his oldest daughter. They also didn’t know that Anthony Hopkins’ wife and the mother of his children was dead in a large freezer. That’s how you teach the kids to be have in the Hopkins house.
Hopkins’ oldest daughter wasn’t at Monday night’s revival. She wasn’t there because instead, she went to the Child Advocacy Center and told them that her father had been raping her for years. She also told them where her mother’s body could be found - in a freezer in a utility shed behind the house.
While Hopkins was preaching his sermon on forgiveness, while his other children, teenagers down to age four, were dutifully singing and playing instruments, police were being led to Arletha Hopkins’ frozen corpse. It was just where the oldest girl said it would be, wrapped in a sheet, frozen solid.
Arletha Hopkins was never reported missing, and no family of hers has yet been located. All eight Hopkins childre n were homeschooled, and Anthony Hopkins worked as an itinerant evangelist, spreading the word of God between sessions in his daughter’s bed. Pastors at the churches where Hopkins preached were told that Arleth a Hopkins had died giving birth to the couple’s youngest son, now four. I guess they weren’t told she was in the freezer.
The oldest daughter says that her father murdered her mother, and police believe her. After all, no death report or 911 call was ever made. It seems that Arletha Hopkin s died with nobody but her children to mourn her. Police say it will be several days for the body to thaw enough even for positive identification.
Hopkins was arrested and taken to Mobile County Metro Jail, where he is charged with rape, sodomy, and first degree murder. He is being held without bond, and the investigation at the Rylands Lane home is continuing. All eight of the Hopkins children are now in the custody of the Department of Human Resources.

R.I.P. Bernie Mac- Here is an excerpt from his tv show!

R.I.P. Bernie Mac- The Original King of Comedy
Saturday 08-09-2008 12:32pm ET
 Comedian and Chicago native Bernie Mac died early Saturday morning from complications due to pneumonia, his publicist confirmed. Mac, 50, had been hospitalized for about a week at Northwestern Hospital, according to his spokeswoman. A few years ago, Mac disclosed that he suffered from sarcoidosis, a rare autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in tissue, most often in the lungs. The comic born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough could cut an imposing figure. He stood 6-foot-3, was built like a fullback and carried himself with a bouncer's reticence. But perhaps the strongest weapon in the Chicago comedian's arsenal was that voice, that amalgam of thought and a delivery that could rise like a tidal wave, outpace a Gatling gun and remained, to his last days, loud and unapologetic. He wasn't scared, he told us time and again, to tell anyone what he thought, to say what others were afraid to say. That fearlessness wasn't always welcome, considering Mac didn't get his big break until his 30s. But when he did, the comic skyrocketed to success in stand-up, television and the big screen.
