‘Family Guy’ Voice Actor Mike Henry Stepping Down From ‘Cleveland Brown’ Role
Voice actor Mike Henry said Friday on Twitter that he no longer will voice the Cleveland Brown character on Fox’s animated Family Guy . Henry, who is white, has voiced the African-American Brown since the show’s inception in 1999. He also voiced the character and his son, Rallo Tubbs, on the spinoff, The Cleveland Show, which ran for four years on Fox. Henry was a voice on Family Guy since its 1999 debut. He also voiced Latina maid Consuela on the animated series. The announcement comes in the wake of two other animated series recasting mixed-race who had been voiced by white actors: Jenny Slate on Big Mouth and Kristen Bell on Central Park. “It’s been an honor to play Cleveland on Family Guy for 20 years.

Mamata Banerjee says Centre targeting women of her family
West Bengal Chief Minister on Wednesday said the Union government, instead of targeting her, was targeting women and daughters of her family. “You are entering my house and targeting own young daughters and daughter-in law who are 22–23-year-old. Our daughters and daughters-in- laws are all coal thieves and what are you, roaming around with coal thieves?,” she said at a rally at Chinsurah in Hooghly district. The CBI recently questioned her Rujira Banerjee, wife of her nephew Abhishek Banerjee, in a coal pilferage case. Addressing the public rally at the same ground where Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally on February 22, she accused the former of flagging off railway projects that she had conceived and sanctioned funds for. “Modi ji should answer why is Coal India being sold, railways being privatised, farmers are on streets,” she stated.

How Nextdoor saved my family during the Texas deep freeze
I was delighted last Monday to wake up to a beautiful 6 inches of snow blanketing my world. After all these years, my two teenagers would finally experience a day of real winter in Austin, Texas. I imagined the fun ahead of us. Then I turned on my phone. My ex-husband, David, had texted at 2:30 a.m. to tell me that his power was out as part of planned rolling outages. I texted back, asking when his power had returned. His response: It was still out. This was just before 9 a.m., and the temperature was in the low teens. I started to worry. David lives on one side of a duplex. My 18-year-old daughter, Shoshana, lives on the other side with two housemates, a bearded dragon and a kitten. Two friends had also spent the night. The rolling outages had failed . They were supposed to last less than an hour to help keep the Texas power grid up and running. But once an outage kicked in, it lasted for days. Austin wasn't alone. A massive snowstorm and record-breaking cold hit Texas … [Read more...] about How Nextdoor saved my family during the Texas deep freeze
