FRED PHELPS~ DO NOT RIP
THE WORLD JUST BECAME A BETTER PLACE~
Fred Phelps, the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, has died at the age of 84, according to two of his children.
His son, Timothy Phelps, confirmed to Kansas' WIBW that Fred Phelps died "before midnight" on Wednesday. His daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper, also confirmed news of the death to the Topeka Capital-Journal.
However, at least one family member seemed to dispute the reports of his siblings, as attorney Jonathan Phelps told WIBW: "Pastor Phelps is doing just fine." The network notes this could be a spiritual reference.
"I can tell you that Fred Phelps is having some health problems," WBC spokesman Steve Drain told the Lawrence Journal-World Sunday. "He's an old man, and old people get health problems."

MJ'S BITES THE DUST
The Go-Go dancers are going away at MJ’s Bar as the Silver Lake gay nightspot prepares to shut down at the end of the month. It’s not clear what will replace MJ’s but it will become the third Silver Lake gay bar to close within the last three years.
The upcoming closure was announced on MJ’s Facebook page with news of “MJ’s Final Dance Party Ever!!!” on March 29. An employee earlier this month said workers were informed that the Hyperion Avenue bar was closing at the end of March but had no further details. Some patrons have been told that MJ’s will be replaced by a restaurant and will no longer be a gay bar but that could not be confirmed. Bar owner Anthony Lopez has not responded to email requests for comment.
Silver Lake was once home to numerous bars, clubs, restaurants and shops that catered primarily to gays. But many of those establishments have closed over the years as the neighborhood has gentrified and the gay community has assimilated. In June 2012, The Other Side, a gay piano bar also located on Hyperion, closed in June 2012 and became Hyperion Public, which caters to a mixed crowd. In 2011, Le Barcito, a Sunset Junction bar that had been a magnet for gay Latinos with Spanish-language drag shows, closed and was replaced by the Black Cat.
The new Black Cat is named after a gay bar that occupied the same space in the 1967 when the LAPD arrested several men for kissing, triggering one of the nation’s first gay-right protests.
