Natalie Cole, the American singer who overcame
battles with substance abuse and the long shadow of her famous father to
earn worldwide success of her own, has died. She was 65. <br />
Cole died Thursday night at Cedar Sinai Hospital
in Los Angeles "due to complications from ongoing health issues,"
according to a statement from her family. <br />
"It is with heavy hearts that we bring to you
all the news of our Mother and sister's passing. Natalie fought a
fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived ... with dignity,
strength and honor," her sisters, Timolin Cole and Casey Cole, and son,
Robert Yancy, said in the statement. "Our beloved Mother and sister will
be greatly missed and remain unforgettable in our hearts forever." <br />
The daughter of Nat "King" Cole built a
chart-topping career with hits such as "This Will Be", "Inseparable" and
"Our Love." She fought health problems for years and received a kidney
transplant in 2009 after developing hepatitis. <br />
Cole recently had to cancel planned tour stops,
including one in Louisville and one in New York due to illness,
according to multiple reports.

<br />
Flip Saunders, who tallied more than 1,000 victories over a 35-year coaching career that included successful stops with the <a href="http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/min/minnesota-timberwolves">Minnesota Timberwolves</a> and <a href="http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/det/detroit-pistons">Detroit Pistons</a>, died Sunday of cancer at age 60.<br />
He also coached the <a href="http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/wsh/washington-wizards">Washington Wizards</a> during a career that spanned 17 seasons as an NBA head coach and included 654 victories.<br />
Saunders
announced in August that he was being treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Doctors considered it "very treatable and curable," and Saunders at the
time said he planned to remain the Timberwolves' head coach and
president of basketball operations. However, he was hospitalized
following a setback in September, and it was announced Friday that
Saunders would miss the entire 2015-16 season.<br />
<br />
Saunders first became an NBA coach in 1996 with the Timberwolves and
eventually led the team to eight straight playoff appearances. A
standout offensive coach, Saunders specialized in coaching point guards.
But perhaps the player he had the greatest impact on was a big man, a
wiry kid who came straight from high school in 1995 named <a href="http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/261/kevin-garnett">Kevin Garnett</a>. Under Saunders' tutelage, Garnett developed into one of the best players in the NBA and eventually an MVP.<br />
After
being fired by Minnesota in 2005, Saunders was hired by the Pistons the
next season and took Detroit to the conference finals for all three
seasons he was on the sideline.<br />
Saunders, after a three-year stint
with the Wizards, returned to the Wolves in 2013 after eight years away
as team president and part owner. In 2014 he took over again as coach.
He was in the process of a major rebuilding effort following the trade
of <a href="http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3449/kevin-love">Kevin Love</a> that included the acquisition of Rookie of the Year <a href="http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3059319/andrew-wiggins">Andrew Wiggins</a>,
engineering the return of Garnett to mentor young players, the
construction of a new downtown practice facility and a renovation of the
Target Center.<br />

As former NBA star Lamar Odom clings to life in a Las Vegas hospital, his soon-to-be ex-wife Khloe Kardashian and her clan have done what they do best: make the story all about them.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #fbfbfb; border: 0px; color: #2e2e2f; font-family: pt-serif, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Before the Kardashians even made it to the hospital, there was no dignity here.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://pagesix.com/2015/10/13/lamar-odom-found-unconscious-at-nevada-brothel/" style="border: 0px; color: #345cc6; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Odom was found on Tuesday unconscious and face down in a Nevada brothel,</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>choking on his own mucus, damage to his lungs from crack cocaine and track marks on his arms.

By all accounts, Odom was extremely depressed and out of it, gorging on KFC and T-bone steaks, three at a time. He had to be transported to the nearest hospital by ambulance; he was too large to be airlifted.</div>

By early Wednesday morning, media outlets such as TMZ, Radar, People, Us Weekly, E! (home of their reality show) and “Entertainment Tonight” suddenly had real-time updates and unobstructed views of matriarch Kris and her daughters outside the hospital, dressed in designer black dresses as if they were all widowed first ladies, straining to show distress on perfectly made-up, Botoxed faces.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">By Belinda Trotter James </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Believe it or not before top model this 5’5” beauty from
Los Angeles California was a professional model. “I was signed to Ford when I was 15 and
from there I evolved and grew into modeling,” reveals Ava. “I did print, commercials, music videos
and my brother is an actor.” Of
course bells went off in my head trying to figure out how did she go from being
a Ford model to appearing on ANTM only to be the 4<sup>th</sup> eliminated
contestant to leave the competition? Ava explains, “I got my Tyover… the Tyra
Mullet kind of weighed down on my confidence a bit. Although I was trying to act as
professional as possible I did not really feel the same. I mean…. It’s all good. It’s hair and it will grow back,” she
laughs.</span>
</span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Ava’s imagination was not playing tricks on her
hair. When Ava appeared at panel
Tyra wasn’t feeling the mullet at all as well. She told Ava she looked like a
housewife. She did look like a
throwback to the 80’s and not in a good way. It should have been an updated mullet
instead of a throwback never to comeback mullet. At that point I thought Tyra would re-do
the cut, but it did not happen.
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Modeling is almost like acting and when you find yourself
wearing something hideous or having a horrible makeover, you need to turn
yourself into a different character.
Some may say that they did not feel like themselves and they would be
partially right. The half you don’t
like isn’t you. It’s your
alter-ego… playing a role just like an actor would in a film.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Thank goodness Ava did not keep the unattractive mullet
once she left the competition. “I
came back home and chopped it into a pixie”, says Ava. “My mom actually did it and I dyed it
platinum. It’s the Marilyn Monroe
affect.” You can see her new cute
cut courtesy of her mom coming to the rescue on all her social media pages. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Ava reveals that she was eliminated because her model
mullet did not suit her or fit her personality. “It was very hard to move forward after
I got my hair chopped off and also there is a lot of drama in the house,” says
Ava. “It just got to the point
where I just did not fit in. I was
just fed up with the drama. I
didn’t want to go home, but it was really intense.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Throughout Ava’s high school years she was home schooled
because of bullying in the earlier grades.
It’s horrible when a child cannot enjoy their childhood or get a good
education and have wonderful memories because of other unhappy children who
thrive on making life hell for everyone around them. Bullying doesn’t stop in the schools; it
also takes place in the workplace.
Our family and school situations prepares us for the world which contains
evil, good, happy, dark and peaceful experiences. With each experience is a lesson which
contains answers on how to resolve social situations.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">“It may have seemed like I lived in a bubble [being home
schooled] but I did have a life,” begins Ava. “I just didn’t have roommates and
that kind of contact with my peers was just a little different for me,” explains
Ava. I guess adapting to the actual
pressures of living with 13 personalities for the first time can send shock
waves to the brain. Seeing ANTM on
television in the comfort of your own home each week and actually living it
every day for 14 weeks is two totally different experiences. We can scream at the television or write
our comments on social media however, Ava and the gang had to stay in place
24/7. “Yeah, it’s pretty
different,” says Ava. “From
watching it to actually living it is definitely different.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">For those watching the contestants on television it is a
little hard to comprehend the stress levels in the house and seeing the total
breakdowns when contestants get a chance to speak to loved ones. One would think they were captured and
thrown in a hell hole prison camp.
They are young adults having a total stress meltdown because of a reality
show. Why are they so
stressed???? It ends in 14
weeks. It’s not hard core military
boot camp. This is something
contestants have been dreaming of their entire young life and now that it’s here
a meltdown starts to eat away at the dream. Is it really that bad? “Yes”, says Ava. “It’s a lot of things going on in
the house like drinking alcohol. I
did not have any connection to the outside world for two months. It was really tough and what I realize
is that it’s not like this in the real modeling world. I learned from it and definitely learned
new social skills.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">In life we sometimes wish for a do-over. Ava reveals her do-over plan. “I think I would’ve started focusing
more on myself. I was quick to
defend people all the time and I only did that because of my background. I was abused by my father and I also was
affected by bullying so that’s why I feel like I had to defend others, but at
the end of the day it is a reality TV show and if you’re not there for drama or
there to hook up, then you get sent home.”
We both laughed and I said, “People don’t get sent home for that; it’s
good TV but, they get sent home for not getting a good score from the
judges.” </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">I deliberately did not ask her any questions about her
abusive father; that is the past.
We must learn to let go of the past in order to move forward. We are beautiful spirits having a human
experience. Ava’s past will now
allow her to be the brave protective soul who will defend and share her
experiences and words of wisdom with those who may have a similar experience and
may not be strong enough to move forward.
It is said, “What doesn’t kill you will only make you
stronger.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Even though Ava experienced challenges growing up she
managed to get signed by one of the top modeling agencies in the world and make
it on the number one modeling reality show competition in the top 14 on
America’s Next Top Model. That’s a
big deal! Behind the fashion
industry curtains there will be a lot of negative energy however, there will
also be an overwhelming amount of positive energy. Ava’s past made sure she will have the
strength to deal with it all. She
will have to keep reminding herself that she is worthy of all good
things.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">In the show she did slip and say some things that would
make you want to say, “Huh?” She is
only 5’5” and for a moment doubted her height against every one in the
competition because they were taller.
How quickly she forgot that she was chosen by the Ford modeling
agency. “I said certain things that
I honestly don’t remember,” remembers Ava.
I don’t remember half of the things that went down because it was so out
of my realm. It was months ago and
I did say things I should not have said about myself.”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Many contestants who were eliminated from ANTM have gone
on to do great things in their career.
Ava is well on her way with a mountain of wonderful gigs. “I have a lot
of things coming up. I have New
York Fashion week gigs and being 5’ 5” that’s a huge accomplishment so I’m
excited about that and I also sing.
I just released a new song and I’m working on a reality show. So it looks like
it’s endless for me. I’m so excited
for the future.”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Ava’s advice to youth trying to find themselves is to
love themselves first. We hear that
so many times from many different people; it must work if so many testify to
this key of life. “You can never
give up on yourself,” advises Ava.
“That’s a huge thing.
When I was in the competition there were many times when I felt like a
failure and discouraged, but I’ve always learned to get back up after I fall
down. So I think that’s what it’s
all about. Learn to love yourself
and find the courage to move forward.</span></div>

Malone was among the first players to go from high school straight to the pros. He was drafted by the Utah Stars and signed a seven-year, $3 million contract (with most of the money being deferred) in 1974. However, Malone would only play in the ABA for two years before the 1976 NBA-ABA merger.</div>
<div data-textannotation-id="05cb86fe558bcae2db6f908cd61b78cb" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: ElizabethSerif, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 500; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 29px; margin: 0px auto 1.25rem; max-width: 636px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-rendering: auto; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-break: break-word; word-spacing: 0px;">
At the time of the merger, Malone’s rights were held by the New Orleans Jazz, who gave them up in exchange for their 1977 first round pick. (This is criminal in retrospect. Jazz at the time were trying to surround Pete Maravich with more talent, and 1976-77 was the Pistol’s best season—he averaged 31.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists—before his rapid descent into injury the following year under a heavy workload.) Without his rights tied up by an NBA team, Malone entered the special draft for ABA players, where he was taken by Portland. But the Blazers had also acquired Maurice Lucas, and traded Malone to the Buffalo Braves for a first round pick. The team had a young Bob McAdoo and a 20-year-old Adrian Dantley, but instead of letting that core grow with Moses, the Braves (AKA, the Clippers) traded him after two games for two future firsts. At the end of his gauntlet with the cursed and the stupid, Malone wound up in Houston.</div>

Within three seasons, in 1979, Malone won his first MVP. Two years later, he carried the Rockets to the 1981 NBA Finals, where they lost to the Celtics. The following year, he won another MVP before being traded to Philadelphia. That first season, his Fo Fo Fo Sixers won the title, dropping just one game in the postseason. Imagine this happening today. A sitting MVP, one year removed from a Finals appearance, is traded in his prime, wins another MVP, and then<em style="box-sizing: inherit; font-style: italic; line-height: inherit;">guarantees</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>his new team will go undefeated to the ‘chip. It’s unthinkable. Fo Fo Fo is the greatest NBA prediction.</div>

The meeting was shrouded in mystery, but it happened. Minister Louis
Farrakhan and Eminem finally met over dinner in Detroit last night.<br />
The affair yielded no real details, but Hasaun Muhammad of the Nation of Islam commented on his Instagram. <br />
All pictures have a story attached to it. This picture is over ten
years in the making. So much happens behind the scenes that I don’t post
or talk about, but this one I absolutely had to. Truly epic that the
two of them had dinner last night in Detroit. See you in D.C. 10.10.15
#Unity @LouisFarrakhan @Eminem #PaulRosenberg<br />
On the official #JusticeOrElse Twitter, the commentary said,
“#Farrakhan dialogued with Hip Hop artist Marshall Mathers aka @Eminem
at his dinner table on #JusticeOrElse.”<br />
Little more is known.<br />
What is known is that the Minister has met with a who’s who of
Hip-Hop this year for all to convene on Washington D.C. for the 20th
year anniversary of the Million Man March, deemed Justice Or Else.<span class="t402-elided-ellipsis">...</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965381662854972499noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140210453273677308.post-87472714974880696922015-09-03T09:08:00.000-07:002015-09-03T10:37:44.342-07:00WTLE LATEST NEWS AND UPDATES!

“Idris Elba is a terrific actor, but I can think of other black
actors who would do it better,” he told the paper, before naming British
actor Adrian Lester as his selection. “For me, Idris Elba is a bit too
rough to play the part. It’s not a color issue. I think he is probably a
bit too ‘street’ for Bond. Is it a question of being suave? Yeah.”<br />
The author's comments didn't sit too well with the public.

The host lashed out at Bill O'Reilly, who on Monday called the Black
Lives Matter movement a hate group and promised to put them <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/black-lives-matter-fox-news-hate-group_55e5c102e4b0b7a9633a3b12" target="_blank">"out of business."</a><br />
"I don’t recall you, Bill O’Reilly, ever saying that you’re going to
take out police brutality … but all of a sudden you want to take out the
Black Lives Matter movement because you don’t like the fact that
they’re out there protesting,” Martin said Wednesday on TV One.<br />
He went on to say he'd be happy to debate O'Reilly or Fox News host
Megyn Kelly on their respective shows, and concluded that O'Reilly
should "shut the hell up!"<br />

Patti LaBelle’s guest appearance on the<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/19/empire-season-finale_n_6900852.html" target="_blank"> season one finale of “Empire” </a>wasn't
a one-time hit. Fans will be happy to know that the music icon is
returning to the show and will be featured in its upcoming season!</h2>
During a recent interview with The Huffington Post, LaBelle recalled a
conversation she had with co-creator, Lee Daniels, who wants the
legendary singer to try something “daring” on camera for <a href="http://www.etonline.com/tv/161821_patti_labelle_confirms_she_returning_to_empire_season_2/" target="_blank">her season two appearance</a>.<br />
“We talked about it about three months ago. He said ‘LaLa,’ -- he
calls me ‘LaLa’ -- ‘would you take your wig off?’ I said, ‘Hell no,’"
LaBelle explained, laughing. “So he’s trying to do something daring with
me, but I ain’t going out like that. I love you Lee, but no, no. Viola
Davis did it well on ‘How To Get Away With Murder,’ but not Ms. Patti. I
can’t do it.”<br />

Aside from singer Eric Nally, the Seattle duo were also accompanied by super influential rap vets <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/grandmaster-caz/" target="_blank">Grandmaster Caz</a>, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/grandmaster-melle-mel/biography/" target="_blank">Melle Mel</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/artists/kool-moe-dee/biography/" target="_blank">Kool Moe Dee</a>.<br />
The three MCs have been inspiring rappers like Jay Z and Nas for decades
but we can’t blame those who aren’t familiar with them. After all,
these legends made their names in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s — long
before many of us were born. So, we put together a little rundown of who
these pioneers are and why you should get familiar.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">America’s
Next Top Model cycle 22 has begun picking off the contestants one by
one who want the title of Top Model. Delanie Dischert is the first
contestant to be eliminated from the competition. At the age of 21 this
5’10 ½” beauty comes from Wilmington, DE. She reveals to me in this exclusive interview the ups and downs of being on a reality modeling competition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Delanie is not the only one to dream of being on America’s
Next Top Model. When that day comes, you may think you’re still
dreaming. “When they call you from your hometown stating you are coming
to LA, it is unbelievable and you feel it’s not really happening”, says
Delanie. “There is no way this is real. This has literally been a
dream of mine since I can remember. It’s definitely surreal.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Before Delanie’s journey on America’s
Next Top Model began she had been a working model. “I had been
modeling in Philly just doing some commercial work just to save up money
as a student to help me pay for my books, my living expenses and
everything else,” explains Delanie. “I really was just doing it as a
job and I ended up completely falling in love with it. I had been
singing before that in an art school and I missed the creative energy
that I was always surrounded by. So getting into modeling was like
reliving that feeling.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Most
contestants will watch the show and think it’s easy however; their
delusional expectations are squashed from day one. In the 22 cycles of America’s
Next Top Model there may have been 1 or 2 who voluntarily left the
show. This cycle was no exception. A contestant was overwhelmed to the
point that she no longer felt confident enough to finish the
competition. Delanie explains that the emotional roller coaster of the
competition can be a little challenging and describes her feelings going
through the elimination process.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">“When
you get to panel, you really don’t know what to expect,” explains
Delanie. “A lot of things happen on set that they can’t show. It ended
up being really tough because I was partnered up with Nile,
who is deaf. The other couples were able to communicate on set, but we
couldn’t do that so it was just us going off of each other’s movements
and energy. I thought that we would get a good picture out of it anyway
because our looks complimented each other. Once I got to panel and saw
my picture, I compared it in my head to everyone else’s and I really
did have a feeling that I was going to be the one eliminated. It’s a
bittersweet feeling because I really love my 13 other new friends. I
felt that I could handle going home first because I am strong and I’m
easy with that kind of stuff. Tyra’s critiques along with everyone
else’s’ was sweet so I really couldn’t be mad at her. Obviously it was
hard not to cry because I’m going to miss everyone. I just got here.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">It
was amazing to hear some of the contestants say they don’t know what to
do because they have never modeled before. Since Delanie does have
some modeling experience, one may wonder if it is hard to implement what
you know about modeling or would you still feel like a fish out of
water?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Delanie
replies, “I had a lot less modeling experience than the other
contestants, but it didn’t make me less confident. I thought I had the
ability to get a better photo than anybody because, yes, I watched the
show, yes, I know they put you in uncomfortable situations to see if you
can still shine through it and yes, I know they really were testing me
that day. There are just so many things you can’t see when you’re
watching the show. It really was making me into a stronger model. It
didn’t really faze me. In the moment I seemed a little frustrated, but I
think it was a lot of fun. I also never modeled with a partner. I
think that was tough to not only worry about how I look, but worry about
if he’s looking good at the same time I’m looking good so that we get a
collaboration of a great photo and not just look at it individually
like he had a strong photo here and I had a strong photo there. We had
to become one.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Now
that Delanie has been eliminated it is up to her to continue her quest
to pursue modeling as a career on her own. “I am looking for a
bicoastal talent agency because I not only want to model, but I also
want to act and sing because it is still my passion,” reveals
Delanie. “I have a few agencies in New York and
Philly that I’m working with. I am just improving every time I shoot
and every time I’m on the runway I’m gaining confidence plus working
with personal trainers and just working on myself in every single aspect
to see my full potential. There’s a lot more I can do. Even if
modeling doesn’t work out, I still have my singing and acting skills. I
want to be on TV and I want to be seen and just use my talents to my
best ability.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">The
odds of being successful in the entertainment industry do increase when
you have a few creative skills. “It definitely helps when you’re on
set to feel comfortable when you’re in an awkward situation or acting
out a scenario. Modeling and acting definitely go hand in hand when it
comes to invoking emotions,” says Delanie.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Her
advice to the youth of today who are pursuing a career in modeling or
any career is to never, ever, never, never give up… “The biggest thing I
would say is to just go after it. Don’t ever give up on going after it
because there are actors who we think are these huge stars who have
been grinding and grinding since they were 17”, begins Delanie. “They
were grinding and grinding and trying to get parts in movies and then
they became successful in their 40’s. You just never know when someone
is going to see you or want you. Just be confident and work on yourself
and never stop working on yourself. The road to success does not allow
you to rest on your laurels because there is always going to be someone
who will be hungrier than you or doing more than you. It’s all about
staying with it and not getting discouraged.”</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">James: I'm originally from New York and I’ve been in Atlanta now
for some years. I got started pretty young at about 15 or 16. At that time, I really got into making my own
music. Being from NY, there is a lot of inspiration that you can pull from.
There are so many genres to get motivation from out there. It was natural for
me to gravitate to that kind of field. My whole thing was really honing in on
production and musicianship more than the actual song. I stuck with it.</span></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Lenell: So do you
actually play an instrument? Oftentimes when you hear about a producer these
days, you think of the beat machines, fruity loops, and so forth.</span></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">James: Yes, I do play keys and I play other instruments by ear.
I've learned throughout the years how to play different things to get the
rhythm of how to make records. With any instrument you play you have to have
that rhythm. The whole thing with producing is that you actually have to know
how to produce. That term producer gets thrown around to loosely. A producer is
more than making beats, you are putting together a full product for a
commercial release.</span></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">James: It's hard to pinpoint how I actually got discovered, it
was more so my fans honing in on my craft and really listening to the music
that I produced throughout the years. This is where I truly believe that I

"We are looking for the individuals involved in this situation to take accountability," Cannon Lambert, the Bland family attorney, told reporters at a press conference in Chicago.</div>

The action, Lambert said, was prompted by "inconsistencies" in the investigation into Bland's death and the unwillingness of authorities in Waller County, Texas, to share information with the Bland family.</div>

There are some pretty amazing oddities out there if you turn on the television at noon on a weekday. As of Monday, that included a puppy fashion show on the debut episode of “Ice and Coco,” a new syndicated daytime talk show starring actor/rapper Ice-T and his wife, model Coco Austin.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Daytime television is a tough business: You have to be empathetic and relatable, but also famous enough that people tune in. You must mix breezy monologues and goofy games with human-interest stories and emotional interviews. Oprah Winfrey proved that if you find the right balance, you can turn it into a billion-dollar empire. Ever since<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/oprahs-last-show-averaged-8957-million-fewer-viewers-than-mash-finale/2011/06/08/AGD5AUMH_story.html" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(212, 212, 212); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #2e6d9d; text-decoration: none; zoom: 1;">she signed off her talk show in May 2011</a>, TV has been trying to find her replacement … with little success.</div>

The road is littered with failed attempts: Katie Couric, Queen Latifah, Anderson Cooper, Jeff Probst, Ricki Lake, Bethenny Frankel, Kris Jenner. So now, Fox Television Stations and Warner Bros. are trying a new twist this summer, launching two shows starring married couples, hoping that doubling up on hosts will encourage viewers to tune in. Actor Boris Kodjoe and actress Nicole Ari Parker debuted “Boris and Nicole” in July for a four-week preview. On Monday, Ice-T and Coco kicked off their three-week test run in hopes of a full-season pick-up.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<em></em>The competition is brutal, so Ice-T, 57, and Coco, 36, had to be as memorable as possible. Did they accomplish that on their first day? Probably not, save the fact that they literally used it as a platform to announce that Coco is pregnant — to the surprise of some of their closest friends who were in the audience. Either way, the premiere certainly had its weird (and fairly entertaining) moments, which is really all you can ask for on daytime TV, when ratings and expectations are generally pretty low.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's Been One Year Since Eric Garner Died. Here's What's Happened Since.</span> </h1>
<h1 class="title">
Friday marks the anniversary of Eric Garner's death from a fatal
police chokehold in New York, but the aftermath of his death is far from
over. </h1>
The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating whether
Officer Daniel Pantaleo -- who put Garner into the prohibited chokehold
-- should face federal civil rights charges. A New York state appeals
court is deciding whether records from the grand jury investigation into
Garner's death should be made public. And earlier this week, New York
City announced it would <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/14/nyregion/eric-garner-case-is-settled-by-new-york-city-for-5-9-million.html?_r=0" target="_hplink">pay the Garner family $5.9 million</a> in order to fend off a full-blown wrongful death lawsuit. <br />
Garner's death was the catalyst for massive #BlackLivesMatter protests across the country and helped inspire a <a href="http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/city-hall/2015/06/8570220/activist-demands-year-after-garners-death" target="_hplink">series of criminal justice reforms</a> in New York state.<br />
As
protesters march in New York Friday, calling for Pantaleo to be
prosecuted and the grand jury records to be released, here's a look back
at the saga that followed in the year after Garner's death.<br />

<span class="s1">Sandra Bland, 28, was pulled over last Friday
in Waller County, Texas, for failing to use her turn signal when
changing lanes. She was arrested during the stop for allegedly
assaulting a police office and taken to a jail in the town of Hempstead.
</span><br />
<span class="s1">Three days later, Bland was found dead in her jail cell.</span><br />
A bystander captured a video of the arrest that appears to show two
officers forcibly holding Bland on the ground while she yelled, "You
just slammed my head into the ground. Do you not even care about that? I
can't even hear."<br />
<div class="p1">
The sheriff's office said Bland died from "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/sandra-bland-texas-jail_55a7c7d0e4b0896514d06f41">what appears to be self-inflicted asphyxiation</a>," but her family and friends <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/sandra-bland-fbi_55a7fcace4b0896514d0a4f6">suspect foul play</a>. </div>
<div class="p2">
As of Friday evening, about 75,000 people had signed a petition calling on <a href="https://www.change.org/p/the-united-states-department-of-justice-attorney-general-loretta-lynch-take-over-the-investigation-into-the-death-of-sandra-bland-from-the-waller-county-texas-police-department?recruiter=143028545&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=autopublish&utm_term=mob-xs-no_src-no_msg&fb_ref=Default">Attorney General Loretta Lynch to conduct an investigation </a>into Bland's death. The Texas Rangers, a statewide law enforcement agency, and the FBI have announced a <a href="http://www.dps.texas.gov/director_staff/media_and_communications/2015/pr20150716.htm">joint investigation</a>. </div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">As many mourn Bland's death, it's important to recognize the life she lived and who she was. </span>Here’s what we know so far:</div>
<h3>
1. Bland drove from her Illinois home to Texas to interview for a job at her alma mater. She got it.</h3>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Bland was an advocate for historically
black colleges and universities, or HBCUs, and a Twitter page believed
to be hers includes several posts <a href="https://twitter.com/a_sandybeach">expressing HBCU pride</a>. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">She was supposed to <a href="http://abc7chicago.com/news/road-trip-for-suburban-woman-ends-in-jailhouse-death/853139/">start a job at </a>Prairie View A&M University in Waller County --from which she <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pvamu/posts/10153428920305610">graduated in 2009</a> -- on July 15, her family told Chicago station ABC7. </span></div>

Meet the "White Squad" a group of well-meaning white people looking
to help out people of color. The squad is introduced in a new, brilliant
satire by MTV Decoded that tackles racial inequality that privileges
white people and disadvantages people of color in everyday situations.

In the video above, members of the company provide a white stand-in for minorities who may encounter discrimination.<br />
"Is your skin color holding you back? Are you tired of systemic
prejudice ruining your day?" the narrator asks before before offering
"professional white advantage services," which include hailing a cab,
finding a better apartment and seeking legal services.<br />
From their paste-colored office to their all-white employees, the
company insures that their whiteness will work in your favor. With a
few convincing testimonials, it's hard to believe that this isn't an
actual service.<br />
While entertaining, the video raises some disturbing flags of actual
oppression that can't be fixed with a call to a 1-800 number. <br />

<h1>
Marvel is having fun with a new series of more than 50 variant covers that are all homages to classic hip-hop album covers. </h1>
“For
years, Marvel Comics and hip-hop culture have been engaged in an
ongoing dialogue,” Marvel EIC Axel Alonso said in a press release.
“Beginning this October, we will shine a spotlight on the seamless
relationship between those two unique forces.”<br />
Apparently, I just
haven't been paying attention folks, or it could be because I'm not a
comic book reader, so help me out; what's this ongoing dialogue between
Marvel Comics and hip-hop culture that he's referring to? Enlighten me.<br />
While
I may not know comic books, I do know hip-hop - at least, the hip-hop I
grew up with in the late 1980s/early 1990s, so I was able to
immediately identify what classic album covers these Marvel
interpretations are paying homage to. What about you?<br />
The move is
part of the comic book giant's plans to reissue some of its classic
titles, which will happen this fall. This is just an early peek at
what's to come.<br />

<em>There is so much fake stuff on the Internet in any given week that we’ve grown tired of debunking it all. Fake <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2013/12/30/a-year-of-internet-hoaxes-fake-events-but-very-real-coverage/">Twitter fights</a>. Fake <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2014/09/08/not-coming-to-a-store-near-you-the-pumpkin-spice-condom/">pumpkin-spice products</a>. Amazing viral video?

<em>So,
rather than take down each and every undeservedly viral story that
crosses our monitors each week, we’re rounding them all up in a quick,
once-a-week Friday debunk of fake photos, misleading headlines and bad
studies that you probably shouldn’t share over the weekend.</em> <em>Ready? Here’s what was fake on the Internet this week:</em><br />
<strong>1. A Vermont pastor wasn’t sentenced to a year in prison for refusing to officiate a gay wedding.</strong> Several high-profile conservative commentators — including Fox News’s Shannon Bream — apparently fell for <a href="http://newsexaminer.net/crime/christian-sentenced-to-prison-for-refusing-to-marry-gay-couple/">this latest hoax</a> from <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2014/10/21/this-is-not-an-interview-with-banksy/">serial mega-troll Paul Horner</a>,
who should literally never be believed. (Pro tip: Horner always
includes his own name in all of his stories. So if you read a crazy news
item mentioning him, withhold your outraged tweets.)<br />

<a data-tag="we-tv" href="http://variety.com/t/we-tv/" id="auto-tag_we-tv">WE TV</a>
is exploring whether the members of the upcoming generation of hip-hop
royalty can take their elders’ seats on the thrones with its order of
the docu-series “<a data-tag="growing-up-hip-hop" href="http://variety.com/t/growing-up-hip-hop/" id="auto-tag_growing-up-hip-hop">Growing Up Hip Hop</a>.”<br />
The series follows the younger relatives of music legends Damon Dash,
Rev. Run, Russell Simmons, Master P, El DeBarge and Pepa as they
attempt to build their own lives and fortune in careers ranging from
music to acting and fashion.<br />
“Hip-hop is a hugely popular music genre, but beyond the songs it has
become a lifestyle and has influenced a generation of young people,”
said Marc Juris, WE TV’s president. “‘Growing Up Hip Hop’ profiles what
it’s like to be raised by hip-hop legends, living in their shadow while
trying to balance success and independence.”<br />
The show will profile Romeo Miller (formerly known as Lil’ Romeo), a
musician and the son of Master P; Angela Simmons, a hip-hop socialite,
model and fashion designer and the daughter of rap pioneer Rev. Run and
niece of Russell Simmons; Damon “Boogie” Dash, an entrepreneur and son
of Roc-A-Fella co-founder and media mogul Damon Dash; Kristinia DeBarge,
a singer-songwriter and daughter of James DeBarge from the group
DeBarge; Egypt Criss, a musician and daughter of Sandra “Pepa” Denton
from Salt-N-Pepa and rap figure Treach from Naughty by Nature; and TJ
Mizell, a DJ and son of the late Run D.M.C.<br />
The six-episode docu-series from Entertainment One is scheduled for a late 2015 premiere.<br />
“Growing Up Hip Hop” is exec produced by John Morayniss and Tara Long
for eOne, along with Romeo Miller, Angela Simmons, Percy Robert Miller
(aka Master P) and Datari Turner. Turner’s Datari Turner Productions is
co-producing the series.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07965381662854972499noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140210453273677308.post-4465639123112275132015-07-11T07:56:00.000-07:002015-07-11T07:58:06.208-07:00Exclusive Interview with R&B Divas Leela James<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; margin-bottom: 8pt;">

cancer . We also got a chance to meet a close friend of yours whom is

Absolutely, was , and is. I think that she is such a talented artist
like so many that go unnoticed or unappreciated during their hey day. I
wanted to pay homage to someone that I felt was a real force in the
industry for many years. A lot of times we ignore artists like that or
just don't give them their props. This is my way of reintroducing her
music, her legacy to a whole new generation . It's important to do that
for our legends. </span></span></b></div>

U.S. Police Have Shot Dead 385 People In Five Months: REPORT</h1>
<h1 class="title">
WASHINGTON, May 30 (Reuters) - U.S. police have shot and killed 385
people during the first five months of this year, a rate of more than
two a day, the Washington Post reported on Saturday.</h1>
The death
rate is more than twice that tallied by the federal government over the
past decade, a count that officials concede is incomplete, the newspaper
said.<br />
The analysis is based on data the Post is compiling on
every fatal shooting by police in 2015, as well as of every officer
killed by gunfire in the line of duty.<br />

</div>
"We are never going to reduce the number of police shootings if we
don't begin to accurately track this information," said Jim Bueermann,
president of the Police Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated
to improving law enforcement.<br />
The Post analysis comes as a national debate is raging over the police use of deadly force, especially against minorities.<br />
Federal
Bureau of Investigation records over the past decade show about 400
fatal police shootings a year, or an average of 1.1 deaths a day.
Reporting of shootings by police agencies is voluntary.<br />
But the
Post's analysis indicates the daily death toll for 2015 is close to 2.6
as of Friday. At that pace, police will have shot and killed nearly
1,000 people by the end of the year, the paper said.<br />
The Post's
analysis showed that about half the victims were white, half minority.
Among unarmed victims, two-thirds were black or Hispanic.<br />
Based on
census numbers for the areas where the killings took place, blacks were
killed at three times the rate of whites or other minorities.<br />
The
victims ranged in age from 16 to 83. More than 80 percent were armed
with potentially lethal objects, mostly guns. Ninety-two victims were
identified as mentally ill.<br />
Police are authorized to use deadly
force when they fear for their lives or the lives of others. Three of
the 385 fatal shootings have resulted in an officer being charged with a
crime.<br />
Current and former police chiefs and other criminal
justice officials told the Post police must begin to accept
responsibility for the killings. They said that many deaths could be
blamed on poor policing.<br />
