Florida Child Dead With Heroin And Fentanyl In His System

A 10-year-old boy in Florida is the latest and one of the youngest to die from our nationwide drug epidemic. The boy, Alton Banks, began vomiting after a trip to the public pool late in June. He was later found unconscious, and though he was rushed to a hospital, he was then pronounced dead.

The exact circumstances for the child’s death are still unknown, but preliminary toxicology reports show that he had both heroin and fentanyl in his system–according to Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernández Rundle, this combination is lethal, and has taken many lives across the country. Investigators do not suspect that Banks was exposed to these drugs at home, leading them to question how this tragedy happened.

In Florida, 3,228 people died from overdoses in 2015, a nearly 23 percent increase from the previous year. Because the case is still being investigated, Miami-Dade medical examiner’s office could not make any comment.

Ice Cube Tells A Story From NWA’s Humble Beginnings

As soon as those jerry curls hit the stage, it was over…

Everyone knows the details from ‘Straight Outta Compton,’ but Ice Cube is here to give us a story about NWA before they made it big. The Los Angeles natives traveled across the country to New York to do a performance at The Apollo, but before they could even spit one word, “boos” filled the whole place.

This story took place before they made it big, so nobody knew who they were…especially in New York. They ended up running into Rev Run after the show, who recognized Eazy-E. He told them to keep going, and not let that experience effect them because cats in New York just weren’t on their wave yet. Fast forward a couple years, the next time Ice Cube hit that Harlem stage, people were throwing money and knocking down doors to get in.

Kylie Jenner Is Twinning A Little Too Much With Wax Figure

Kylie Jenner unveiled her new wax figure at Madame Tussauds Hollywood and it's super hard to tell the two apart. Down to Jenner's plastic mouth piece, the wax museum did a much better job on this than whoever ever did Beyonce's wax figures. Kylie's inanimate body double is wearing the same dressed she rocked at the Met Gala in 2016. Kylie's boo, Travis Scott was nowhere near the reveal event. The two were spotted out in public getting frisky, just last week. Travis nibbled on Kylie's silicone puckers. Here's a closer look at them-let's play guess if this is REAL of WAX? https://www.instagram.com/p/BWtpwNIDiFU/?taken-by=kyliesnap.s&hl=en More after the flip. https://www.instagram.com/p/BWtpsF1jn_x/?taken-by=kyliesnap.s&hl=en [caption id="attachment_1572905" align="aligncenter" width="690"] LOS ANGELES, CA - JULY 18: Kylie Jenner Unveils Her New Wax Figure at Madame Tussauds Hollywood on July 18, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.

Quincy Jones Says Michael Jackson’s Estate Is Taking His Money

Quincy Jones produced Michael Jackson’s 3 biggest albums, “Off the Wall,” “Thriller” and “Bad.” Now, Jones is going to trial with Sony and MJJ Productions claiming that he’s been played, and isn’t getting paid off all the work he did for the late pop star’s music.

Jones is now 84, and court documents show that he was over 65 at the time he and music executives sat down to talk about money regarding Michael’s music. He is claiming that everyone involved clearly took advantage of his age to screw him out of the money he is entitled to for all of his work.

Quincy is suing for at least 10 million dollars, and he’s expected to testify in court later on this week.

Chad Johnson Impersonator Caught Up In LV Store

A man in downtown Aspen was arrested after he tried to use Chad Ochocinco’s identity to buy $18,000 worth of merchandise in the downtown Louis Vuitton store.  Mervin Cabe of Miami told employees he was the former NFL star. The Aspen Times reported that customers must have a “profile ID” at the Louis Vuitton store to make purchase. Cabe tried passing himself off as Chad Johnson, but he gave store employees the wrong birthday which led to his demise.

Ochocinco is known for his interactions within the Twitterverse, so of course he took a laugh at this interesting incident with a tweet replying to the side-by-side pictures of him and Cabe:

Mervin Cabe was charged with a pair of felonies for identity theft and unauthorized use of a financial transaction device. After being caught, he told officers, “You’re going to have to take me … to jail. I’ve done something bad,”

Usher Paid For Giving A Woman Herpes?

Well this is disgusting. According to Radar Online, Usher was giving out herpes and paying to keep it quiet. They allegedly grabbed some court documents claiming Usher gave a woman herpes and had to pay her a total of $1.1 million for her troubles.
Their romps went without a hitch until three weeks after a passionate hookup when the victim — whose identity is being withheld by Radar — woke up “feeling very sick” with a “fever of 100 degrees, chills, headache, and aches and pains.” She “also developed lesions and blisters in her vagina,” and was so terrified she sought treatment at urgent care, where a doctor promptly diagnosed her with herpes. According to the document, the “Yeah!” singer — going by the pseudonym “Papa Bear” in messages — posted a check covering her medical bills totaling $2,754.40.

Monica Lewinsky Talks About Male Vulnerability In New Essay

As y’all know, Monica Lewinsky is probably the most famous “home wrecker” of all time, and now she’s commenting on Jay Z’s choice to come clean about his own cheating endeavors on his album. She wrote an essay for Vanity Fair entitled “Jay-Z, Prince Harry, Brad Pitt, and the New Frontiers of Male Vulnerability” discussing the  respective masculine stereotypes they are battling.

In the essay, Monica said about Hov, “It is a refreshing and bracing antidote to see male icons convey vulnerability in an age when Washington’s new power elite and our coarsening culture are busy projecting an outmoded caricature of manhood, 24/7” and “it’s heartening to see a crack in the implicit contract among men, their emotions, and society at large.”

She also discusses Piers Morgan’s ridicule of Brad Pitt, encouraging more people to wear it on their sleeves as he did. The essay centers around her praising men for showing sides that the public normally aren’t privy to, and encourages more men to be so open.

[caption id="attachment_1573100" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Getty Images[/caption] Earlier this week, news broke about a new show starring the wives and girlfriends of Nelly, Ne-Yo, Miguel, Kid Ink and more... However several details about the show that have gotten out are wrong. Turns out this show isn't called "Married To" anything, the actual title of the show is "The Platinum Life" and there are a few cast members who haven't already been revealed. The show will air this fall on E! Here's the official announcement... We broke it here first! https://instagram.com/p/BVsG6GSFhQ7/?taken-by=nazaninmandi E! greenlights new series “The Platinum Life,” which follows an elite group of music’s most savvy women and their significant others as they live their first-class lifestyles. The leading ladies include Crystal Smith, married to Multi-Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer and actor NE-YO; La’Myia Good, married to Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer Eric Bellinger; Shantel Jackson, in a relationship with Grammy Award-winning rapper, singer, songwriter and producer Nelly; rapper and songwriter Lola Monroe, in a relationship with rapper, songwriter and producer King Los; Asiah Azante, married to Multi-Platinum recording artist, songwriter and producer Kid Ink; Nazanin Mandi, engaged to Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and producer Miguel; and newly single recording artist Alycia Bellamy. https://instagram.com/p/BVQYx1XlnIS/?taken-by=iam_queenroe
LA’s music industry is notorious for exclusive parties, high-profile romances, and huge fan followings, but being in relationships with some of the biggest names in the business is not always pitch perfect. Whether it’s fighting for the spotlight in a male dominated game, or being on the lookout for groupies trying to get the attention of their men, these women learn that in the music world, the only way to navigate it successfully is with strength and confidence. From red carpets and awards shows, to sold-out concerts and after parties, we’ll witness first-hand that having “The Platinum Life” is not for the faint of heart. “The music industry is known for big, outspoken personalities living lavish lifestyles, but it’s also an extremely tough business to succeed in,” said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Programming & Development, E!. “We are excited to give viewers an all-access pass to see how these fearless women climb to the top both personally and professionally.”
To learn more about the show, follow: Twitter – @PlatinumLifeOnE Instagram – @PlatinumLifeOnE Facebook – @ThePlatinumLifeOnE “The Platinum Life” is produced by STXtv and Tower 2 Productions with Ryan Holcomb, Jason Goldberg, Shanta Conic, Kim McKoy serving as executive producers.

Coffee Company Recalls Product Over Viagra-Like Ingredient

Do you like yours hot and black, or do you like lil’ milk and white whipped cream?

In either case, you won’t have anything but a bulge in your pants if you drink Bestherbs Coffee.

According to KSDK, the purveyor of pole-stiffening drink has done a massive recall of it’s product because it was discovered that one of the ingredients in the blend is very similar to Viagra and other “male-enhancement drugs”.

That wasn’t an accident. Bestherbs Coffee is marketed as a thwarter of flaccidity, however the FDA is concerned that the combination of “viagra” and other prescription drugs could be very dangerous to those with high cholesterol etc.

There are probably a lot of husbands just now realizing why their wife always has a fresh-brewed cup waiting for them when they wake up.

Ice T Defends Coco Austin’s Braids

After Coco Austin debuted a new look and got dragged, her dedicated hubby is jumping to her defense. Earlier this week the “model” decided to give fans a glimpse at her hairstyle “Da Coco Swoop” which are actually just side swept box braids.

“My new braids! I call um Da Coco Swoop.. I wanted a little change up for the Summer,” she captioned a photo of the “new” style.

She also made sure to add that she names ALL her hairstyles, not just her braids.

“Oh and by the way.. I name all the braid styles I do even hair styles with no braids .. Its a cute thing I do.. I have many weird Coco-isms.”

 

Instagram Photo

Fans then obliterated Coco for cultural appropriating and for calling the popular black hairstyle her new “swoop” look.

“You’re not black lol and never will be,” wrote one.

“What the f*** is the “coco swoop, who are you to claim our culture?” added another.

According to Coco’s hubby Ice-T there’s absolutely nothing wrong with his wife’s new look.

Sit down haters!!!!
