Muhammad Ali Hospitalized Boxing

Get well soon champ!

Muhammad Ali On Life Support

Muhammad Ali is in worse condition than originally expected. The boxing champ is said to be on life support for a respiratory issue and surrounded by family.

The New York Post reports:

Muhammad Ali has been placed on life support — and his family fears that it “likely won’t be long until he passes away,” according to a report.

The boxing legend was hospitalized in Scottsdale, Ariz., for a respiratory issue on Thursday and insiders tell Radar Online that his loved ones are now rushing to his side because it appears his condition has worsened.

“He needs every bit of fight he’s got left to survive,” a source told the website. “Doctors are telling the family that it likely won’t be long until he passes away.”

Another source said Ali’s vitals “are terrible” at the moment and he is currently relying on medical help to breathe.

His rep told The Associated Press on Thursday that the respiratory problems that the former heavyweight champion was facing had been complicated by the Parkinson’s disease he was diagnosed with in the 1980s.

The spokesman said Ali was being treated at an unidentified hospital and was in “fair condition” and that a brief hospital stay was expected.

But it appears that things got more serious overnight.

“His children are all extremely concerned and dropped everything to be with him,” a source told The Daily Mirror. “They fear the worst.”

Ali has been hospitalized numerous times in the past, most recently in early 2015 when he was treated for a severe urinary tract infection that was initially thought to be pneumonia.

This is so sad! Prayers to the champ…

Brock Turner

Stanford Rapist Only Sentenced To 6 Months For Sex Assault On Unconscious Woman

We don’t wanna hear S#!T about how white privilege doesn’t exist because if this kid was a brotha there is no WAY that a court of law would accept all these BS excuses.

Via DailyMail

A former Stanford University swimmer who was facing a 10-year jail sentence for raping a drunk woman he met at a campus party, has been given just six months in prison for his crime.

Brock Allen Turner, 20, was found guilty of sexually assaulting a drunken and unconscious woman.

Turner who is part of Stanford’s high-powered swimming program was convicted in Santa Clara County Superior Court of three counts of sexual assault.

Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky was lenient, after hearing emotional pleas from Turner and the victim.

Lenient? Emotional pleas?? Where they do that at?!?

Turner’s crime happened in January of 2015 when he had met a woman at a party at the Kappa Alpha House. The pair were kissing outside.

He said he took off the woman’s underwear, penetrated her with his hands and touched her breasts, but never took off his pants.

According to Turner, the woman appeared to be enjoying herself as she rubbed his back.

He added that his ‘intentions were not to try and rape the girl without her consent’ but to ‘hook up’ with a girl’, the report said.

Too bad Brian Banks didn’t get this kind of benefit of the doubt…

Alicia Keys Talks About Giving Up Make Up And No Longer Hiding

Alicia Keys has been promoting her new music lately and you may have noticed that she’s completely eschewed the whole beat face honey movement

This week Alicia wrote about her decision to go makeup free for Lenny Letter.

We’ve excerpted a few portions below:

Before I started my new album, I wrote a list of all the things that I was sick of. And one was how much women are brainwashed into feeling like we have to be skinny, or sexy, or desirable, or perfect. One of the many things I was tired of was the constant judgment of women. The constant stereotyping through every medium that makes us feel like being a normal size is not normal, and heaven forbid if you’re plus-size. Or the constant message that being sexy means being naked.

I realized that during this process, I wrote a lot of songs about masks filled with metaphors about hiding.

I needed these songs because I was really feeling those insecurities.

I was finally uncovering just how much I censored myself, and it scared me. Who was I anyway? Did I even know HOW to be brutally honest anymore? Who I wanted to be?

In one song I wrote, called “When a Girl Can’t Be Herself,” it says,

In the morning from the minute that I wake up / What if I don’t want to put on all that makeup / Who says I must conceal what I’m made of / Maybe all this Maybelline is covering my self-esteem

No disrespect to Maybelline, the word just worked after the maybe. But the truth is … I was really starting to feel like that — that, as I am, I was not good enough for the world to see.

Sounds like Cover Girl dodged a bullet. But barely. Alicia is still giving up makeup after all…

Speaking of which. Despite writing the song, Keys didn’t immediately arrive at the decision to give up cosmetics. Initially she had a lot of fears about being caught looking busted.

Every time I left the house, I would be worried if I didn’t put on makeup: What if someone wanted a picture?? What if they POSTED it??? These were the insecure, superficial, but honest thoughts I was thinking. And all of it, one way or another, was based too much on what other people thought of me.

Keys began practicing meditation, which seemed to help give her some clarity, but her real aha moment came when she had a less than glamorous photoshoot:

It wasn’t until I walked into one of my first shoots for my new album recently that the issue was front and center again. I’d just come from the gym, had a scarf under my baseball cap, and the beautiful photographer Paola (never met a Paola I didn’t like) said, “I have to shoot you right now, like this! The music is raw and real, and these photos have to be too!”

I was shocked. Instantly, I became a bit nervous and slightly uncomfortable. My face was totally raw. I had on a sweatshirt! As far as I was concerned, this was my quick run-to-the-shoot-so-I-can-get-ready look, not the actual photo-shoot look. So I asked her, “Now?! Like right now? I want to be real, but this might be too real!!”

And that was it. She started to shoot me.

It was just a plain white background, me and the photographer intimately relating, me and that baseball hat and scarf and a bunch of invisible magic circulating. And I swear it is the strongest, most empowered, most free, and most honestly beautiful that I have ever felt.

I felt powerful because my initial intentions realized themselves. My desire to listen to myself, to tear down the walls I built over all those years, to be full of purpose, and to be myself! The universe was listening to those things I’d promised myself, or maybe I was just finally listening to the universe, but however it goes, that’s how this whole #nomakeup thing began. Once the photo I took with Paola came out as the artwork for my new song “In Common,” it was that truth that resonated with others who posted #nomakeup selfies in response to this real and raw me.

I hope to God it’s a revolution.

‘Cause I don’t want to cover up anymore. Not my face, not my mind, not my soul, not my thoughts, not my dreams, not my struggles, not my emotional growth. Nothing.

What do you think about Alicia’s revelations? Will you be adopting the #nomakeup hashtag and lifestyle as well?

‘The Real’ Rumor Control: Execs Finally Confirm Whether Or Not Tamar’s Co-Hosts Played A Part In Her Firing

Rumor control…

“The Real” Responds To Rumors That Tamar’s Co-Hosts Got Her Fired

Execs for “The Real” are clapping back at reports that their co-hosts Jeannie Mai, Adrienne Bailon, Loni Love and Tamera Mowry played a part in the firing of Tamar Braxton.

Most recently it was hinted on “Braxton Family Values” that the ladies were jealous of Tay Tay and somehow collaborated with execs to get her out.

TamarTheRealHosts
Now “The Real” is responding and denying that any of the ladies on the panel played a part. Furthermore the reasons behind Tamar’s firing are “privileged and private.”

“Tamar Braxton’s contract was not renewed for reasons that will remain privileged and private, and that are between her and the Studio,” said The Real in a statement. “However, we would like to make it crystal clear that Ms. Braxton’s departure from the show had nothing to do with her former co-hosts; any suggestion to the contrary unfairly tarnishes them. As always, we wish Tamar and Vince all the best.

WELP!

What do YOU think about “The Real” standing behind their remaining cohosts???

Smith Couple Embroiled In Campbell Couple Bankruptcy

Tisha Campbell-Martin and her husband Duane Martin have unfortunately hit a rough financial patch for the moment…but they’ve been getting help from their good buddies Will and Jada. The Daily Mail has exclusively learned that the Smiths’ names have popped up in the bankruptcy proceedings of Tisha and Duane, detailing how they’ve been trying to help their homies out through this tough time…

Will and Jada Smith have been roped into their best friends’ bankruptcy after a trustee presiding over Tisha Campbell-Martin and her husband Duane’s case became suspicious of a short sale of their Los Angeles home.

The title of the famous couple’s 7,000-plus square foot home was transferred to a family member, and 100 per cent of the money used in the transfer was funded by Will and Jada Smith, according to court papers obtained by Daily Mail Online.

The Martins, who have been together for 20 years, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on January 7, claiming they are are drowning in debt and owe more than $15,145,387 in liabilities to creditors.

The petition stated that the couple have assets of only $65,000 in real estate and $248,000 in personal property.
Their monthly income is $7,655, but their monthly expenses come out to $16,953. They claim to only have $200 in cash and less than $200 in their bank accounts.

According to the court documents, in late 2014 the couple orchestrated a short sale with their mortgage lender in which a newly created LLC known as Roxe LLC – owned by Duane Martin’s brother Michael and Derek Folk, the couple’s tax preparer – took title to their home.

The short sale price was funded 100 per cent by another third party known as Treyball, which appears to be owned by Will Smith, 47, and Jada Pinkett Smith, 44, who have been friends with Duane and Tisha Martin for years.Furthermore, the Martins – he’s 50 and she’s 47 – prepaid monthly rents to the landlord – Roxe LLC – despite there being no contractual obligation to do so.

The trustee presiding over the case suggests that the couple transferred the title to Roxe LLC potentially because they knew they were filing for bankruptcy and were attempting to save their home from being sold off to pay back creditors.

Well, no one can say the Smiths aren’t loyal friends! Honestly, if you’re in a position to help out those close to you…as long as it’s all on the legal up and up, we can’t see the problem here!

Freddie Gibbs Arrested For Rape

Rapper Freddie Gibbs has found himself in some hot water according to French website ladepeche.fr, who reports the father and husband-to-be was arrested over a rape charge in France this week. They also report that the alleged crime was committed in Austria early last year.

Here is the translation of the article, courtesy of RapWave

American rapper Freddie Gibbs, 33, who was to give a concert Thursday night at the Rex in Toulouse was arrested by the police a few minutes before the show. He is suspected in a rape case committed in Austria.

From rap to rape… He thought he had gotten away and was forgotten by investigators. But Thursday night, the US rapper Freddie Gibbs, well known in the underground scene, was arrested by the men of the regional service of the judicial police in the heart of Toulouse.

Reportedly, he was wanted in connection with a European arrest warrant issued by Austria for a rape allegedly committed in 2015.

Freddie Gibbs announced his engagement to Erica Dickerson back in 2015.

Lost Ones: Black Supporter Not Offended Trump Addressed Him As “Look At My African-American Here” [Video]

Donald Trump Awkard, But Happy To See Black Man At Rally

This guy couldn’t be a bigger joke, especially when it comes to people of color.

Via NY Daily News:

Oh “my!”

Donald Trump clumsily sought to tout his support among African-Americans on Friday by pointing out a black man in the crowd at a rally and calling him “my African-American.”

Sounding like a plantation owner more than a presidential candidate, Trump pointed at the man and said: “Oh, look at my African-American over here!”

“Are you the greatest?” he added. “You know what I’m talking about? OK.”

Anti-Trump demonstrators clash with supporters at San Jose rally
Trump then proudly told the story of a black supporter who punched a white protester at a March rally.

What a putz. And of course the sorry fool who got called out “took no offense” according to USA Today reports he’s also running for office as a Republican.

“That was me, seriously. I got two autographs out of that,” said Gregory Cheadle, a Republican from Happy Valley who is running for the 1st Congressional District.

Cheadle said African-Americans have historically been dismissed by politicians, which is why they were so quick to support President Obama, the country’s first black president.

So it was gratifying to him and he was proud that Trump would acknowledge him in an audience that was predominantly white, he said.

“To give the black folk the time of the day, I was happy,” Cheadle said.

Lost. Homeboy is lost AF.

June Ambrose Mistaken For Kerry Washington By Drunk Woman At Restaurant

PageSix is reporting yet another case of mistaken black identity

A tipsy tourist toting an alligator Birkin bag mistook designer June Ambrose for Kerry Washington at the Polo Bar on Thursday night.

Top stylist Ambrose radiated in a flowing Christian Siriano gown, and the fellow diner accosted her at her table and proceeded to gush over her acting. Ambrose explained who she was, but “the woman was relentless,” according to a spy.

Although the story doesn’t state it specifically, we refuse to believe that it was a black woman making this mistake.

Sure, the two women share some similar features, but c’mon now…
