Fortunately, on Monday, it was announced Flint is finally set to receive the remaining $77.7 million it was promised, as part of the $120 million loan allocated to the city back in 2017 following their water crisis . “$77.7 million in loan assistance at a zero percent interest rate with 100-percent principal loan forgiveness,” Michigan Department of Environmental Quality announced . “The loan will fund the completion of a secondary water source pipeline, Dort Street and Cedar Street Reservoir and Pump Station improvements, construction of a chemical feed building, replacement of the Northwest transmission main, water main and water meter replacement, water quality monitoring panels, and contingency service line replacement funding. These projects will enhance the water distribution system by ensuring long-term compliance and protection of public health.” Monroe County and the City of East Lansing will also receive funding to improve their respective water distribution systems . “While we are grateful for this funding it’s important to understand it’s not new funding,” Flint’s Director of Public Works Rob Bincsik said, according to MLive . “The federal government awarded this funding and is utilizing the MDEQ’s Drinking Water Revolving Fund as the mechanism to disperse it to the City of Flint.” This is great news and we’ll continue to keep you informed as updates are provided.

Kristoff St. John Cause of Death: Revealed, Tragic

We have an important update on the sad death of Kristoff St. John. Over a month since the shocking loss of this soap opera star, the coroner’s office has released its official autopsy results, alerting the public to the reason St. John passed away back on February 3. This coroner’s report has listed the cause of death as “hypertrophic heart disease” with “effects of ethanol” cited as another significant condition. The document also deems the death accidental and says other conditions contributing , but not related to the immediate cause of death, included myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending coronary artery and the effects of ethanol. The 52-year-old – best known for his long-running role on The Young and the Restless – was found dead in his home in the neighborhood of Woodland Hills about six years ago. It was believed at the time that an excess of alcohol consumption had played a role in this tragedy… but the cause of his death was deferred by the Los Angeles County Coroner until an ” additional investigation ” was finished. St. John’s passing came more than four years after his son, Julian, died by suicide following treatment for mental health issues. In November of 2017, meanwhile, St. John opened up about his own mental health struggles after being hospitalized and undergoing a psychiatric evaluation. “To all of mi [sic] IG peeps. Thanks for throwing out a life preserver,” he wrote on Instagram about a year and a half ago, adding: “Words cannot express the gratitude that I feel to have so much love that you bathe me in…anoint me with…cloak me with. I am humbled.” He added: “Life is precious. I look forward to continuing this journey together with all of you…us. Because at the end of the day, at the magic hour, we are warmed with an all knowing presence of light and love. My heart beats to the music of our creation. “You are an integral piece of my personal spiritual puzzle, as I hope I am to yours. I love you…forever.” According to these newly-unveiled autopsy papers, Kristoff was admitted to Las Encinas Mental Health Hospital in Pasadena on January 26, 2019 for “threatening to hurt himself and alcohol abuse.” He returned to his Woodland Hills home from the mental health facility on February 1, just two days prior to his death, the report detailed. There’s no way of knowing what was going through St. John’s head just before he died, in other words, but he clearly had been struggling for a period of time prior to his death. The actor who originated the role of Neil Winters on the aforementioned daytime drama. He was a leged in this industry. “The news of Kristoff St. John’s passing is heartbreaking. He was a very talented actor and an even better person,” CBS Television Network and Sony Pictures Television said in a joint statement, adding: “For those of us who were fortunate enough to work with him on The Young and the Restless for the last 27 years, he was a beloved friend whose smile and infectious laugh made every day on set a joy and made audiences love him. “On behalf of the Y&R cast and crew, CBS and Sony Pictures Television, we offer our heartfelt sympathy to his family and loved ones, especially his two daughters, Paris and Lola.” The actor is survived by fiancée Kseniya Mikhaleva, ex-wives Mia St. John and Allana Nadal and two children: Paris, his daughter with Mia; and Lola, his daughter with Nadal. Earlier in March, Mikhaleva, said she would not be able to attend his funeral. “Several weeks ago I applied for an ’emergency’ visa for the funeral to say goodbye my fiancé and beloved,” she wrote on Instagram. “The reply from the Embassy was ‘No’. My heart is broken.” She concluded: “I am going through this with a huge pain in my heart,and realize that I don’t have opportunity to say goodbye to him and put flowers on his grave. It is not right, not fair. Fly, my love, and finally find peace.” So very sad. May Kristoff St. John rest in peace.

Paris Jackson Allegedly Refusing Rehab After Reported Suicide Attempt

Here is the original post:

Source: NurPhoto / Getty After TMZ claimed Paris Jackson was rushed to the hospital for an attempted suicide, in which she allegedly slit her wrists, the troubled 20-year-old denied the reports. The gossip site is doubling down on their original account, however, adding that Paris is reportedly refusing rehab. “Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … those close to Paris suggested rehab after what law enforcement says was a suicide attempt over the weekend, landing her in the hospital,” the site reports . “We’re told the attempted suicide shows some serious underlying problems … they say Paris is dealing with all sorts of emotional issues as well as substance abuse issues. Our sources say Paris’ team had help ready to spring into action Sunday, but she refused.” TMZ reported that Michael Jackson ‘s only daughter slit her wrists early Saturday, at which point she was supposedly rushed to the hospital and placed on a temporary 5150 hold. “We’re told she’s been distraught ever since Leaving Neverland began airing. As to why Paris was released just hours after she was hospitalized, our sources say she told the hospital that had admitted her that her lawyers were taking her to UCLA Medical Center, and the hospital let her go with the attorneys, but she never ended up at UCLA,” the site states. As we mentioned earlier, Paris Jackson responded to TMZ’s article, saying it isn’t facts … fuck you you fucking liars — Paris-Michael K. J.

Khloe Kardashian Parties in Vegas After Tristan Cheating Drama

Khloe Kardashian bestie Malika Haqq bullied Jordyn Woods on her behalf. Now, she’s getting her reward. Khloe flew twins Malika and Khadijah on a private jet so that the three of them could party in Vegas. Hey, that’s one way to leave the Tristan drama behind, right? On Sunday, Khloe Kardashian took to her Instagram Stories to show fans how generous she was being for Malika Haqq. Malika and Khadijah Haqq are twins, and Khloe didn’t leave one of them out in the cold. “Only the best for my besties,” Khloe captions one of her posts. She also shared multiple looks at platters of doughnuts that she had on the plane. “Happy Birthday Malika N Khadijah,” the generous spread reads. Khloe’s Stories also revealed that she and the birthday girls enjoyed champagne and shots aboard the flight. “Happy birthday @malika and @foreverkhadijah !!” Khloe wrote on Instagram. “You ladies are so beyond special!!” she raved. “I thank God for our friendship daily!” “I hope you are blessed with every beautiful birthday to be better than the one before!!” she expressed. “I love you both madly!” Khloe concluded. “We are going to have FUN tonight!” Her prediction turned out to be very true. We know that what happens in Vegas is supposed to stay there … but where’s the fun in that? The women arrived, and were met by Malika’s boyfriend, rapper O.T. Genasis. There were nine other people in the group, including the Keeping Up With The Kardashians camera crew. The party enjoyed a private dining room at the Hakkasan Restaurant at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino. There, the celebrators drank Don Julio 1942 tequila and Moet champagne. When 1am rolled around, the group went to Hakkasan Nightclub at sat at a VIP table. There was cake. There were sparklers. And the Haqq sisters were treated to an over-the-top backlit poster reading “Happy Birthday Malika and Khadijah.” By all accounts, both Khloe and the Haqq sisters had a blast. And this will come as no surprise to anyone who has ever dated a musician, but O.T. Genasis also performed at the club. Fans are happy that they’re seeing Khloe and Malika and Khadijah enjoying themselves. They’re even happier at the thought that they might see more of this night of fun later. Whatever you think of how Khloe lashed out at Jordyn over an uninvited kiss, Khloe has been through a lot over the past 11 months. Malika has stood by her side through thick and then, and even made an ass out of herself bullying Jordyn. For better or for worse, she’s always on Khloe’s side. This birthday trip shows that Khloe rewards her bestie’s loyalty. Khloe and Malika have been friends for ages — since even before Khloe’s radical body transformation. So of course they had a huge night for the Haqq twins’ birthday. But this was also a great excuse for Khloe to step away from her entire life for one night and avoid thoughts about Tristan, Jordyn, and everything else. We know that some are going to troll her about partying while she’s a mom. We’re pretty sure that Khloe can afford the best babysitters on the planet — and that’s assuming that she didn’t leave True with one of her very capable sisters. Or with her momager.

Aaron Carter Threatens Michael Jackson Accuser In Shocking Video

It’s been over a week since Leaving Neverland debuted and Michael Jackson’s most ardent defenders continue to lash out in appalling and inappropriate ways. First, Paris Jackson revealed that she doesn’t believe her father’s accusers and essentially laughed off the very serious allegations against him, much to the chagrin of many of her fans. Now, the disgraced pop star is being defended by another person who had a close relationship with him as a child. And Aaron Carter’s handling of the situation makes Paris’ look perfectly reasonable by comparison. Carter not only refuses to believe the accusers featured in the documentary, he says he’d like punch one of them — Wade Robson — in the face. Carter made the threat in an interview with TMZ that started on a confusing note and got more bizarre from there. “My reaction to Leaving Neverland was incredible,” says Carter (who doesn’t appear to have understood the opening question). In the rambling segment that appeared online Monday afternoon, Carter goes on to argue that his experience in Jackson’s home was positive, therefore, it’s impossible that anyone could have been molested by the pop star. “What you’re doing is stomping on an icon and a legend’s grave,” he says, addressing Robson. Aaron then played the always-unfortunate “why not come forward sooner?” card. “Why not do it when he was alive, man?” he demands at one point. Asked if it was even possible that Robson, Safechuck, and other accusers could be telling the truth, Carter offers this reply: “Not based on my experience. I hung out with Michael Jackson. I stayed at his house. I stayed in his bedroom.” Carter then concedes that he was 15 at the time, which is considerably older than the age at which Jackson’s accusers claim they were molested. From there, the situation really gets ugly, as Carter openly fantasizes about assaulting Robson: “I might be a pop singer, but I’m also from the f–kin’ South. You’re lucky I got something to lose now. Because I would punch you in your face,” Carter added in what appears to be a direct threat to Robson. No word yet on what it is that Aaron has to lose. You would think both Aaron and Paris have never before encountered the notion that two individuals can have radically different experiences with the same person. No one is doubting that Michael was a mentor to a number of young entertainers, or that he was a competent and devoted father (although that infamous baby-dangling incident certainly raises a lot of questions). But there’s no ignoring the growing mountain of evidence that suggests Jackson engaged in sexual activity with young boys. There might be a way for someone to offer a reasonable and informed counter-argument. But neither Paris nor Aaron is doing that.

Hypebeast Alert: SUPREME Fouls The Classic Timberland Moccasin

See original here:

Source: Supreme / Supreme Sometimes fashion brands get out of hand with their designs. Case in point we will take a hard pass on the new SUPREME and Timberland capsule. The streetwear giant has unveiled its newest collaboration with Hip-Hop’s favorite outdoor apparel company. SUPREME has put their own twist on Timberland’s 3-Eye Classic Lug Shoe, again . While the silhouette stays true to the original design the limited-edition release features hand sewn calf hair upper paneling for a premium touch. Additionally, we get SUPREME branding via a metal shoelace plate. Source: Supreme / Supreme Where things go left are the colorways put to use. The moccasins come in a leopard print that is polarizing to the say the least. No matter how fashion forward you may think you are these animal flavored feet pieces are begging for the side eye. Luckily there is an all black option that is less bold but the shoe still loses its classic rugged appeal.

SMH: Nicki Minaj Forced To Postpone Her European Tour Stop Over Technical Issues

Source: Josiah Kamau / Getty Nicki Minaj Postpones European Tour Dates Over Technical Issues Nicki Minaj’s European tour is barely underway, and already, things aren’t going exactly as planned. Only one day after the Nicki WRLD Tour kicked off, the rapper was reportedly forced to cancel her Bratislava, Slovakia show due to electrical issues with the venue. According to reports from TMZ , the venue of the concert experienced several outages on Friday night and simply could not support the “technical aspects” of the tour’s set design. Eventually, Nicki ended up stepping onto the stage to personally break the news to her Barbz. “First of all, I f**kin’ love you,” she said to her crowd of adoring fans. “We’ve been trying for hours to get the show to work, and the building says they don’t have the power in this building to make this show work. I feel horrible because you guys have been here for hours, and they’ve been trying everything they possibly can.” Minaj went on to thank her fans for showing up and promised that she would return to give them the show they all paid for. TMZ also reports that Nicki spent hours walking around the venue to greet her attendees. The Queen rapper posted on Instagram about the incident, saying, “I’m so disappointed. Slovakia, I love you so much & I’ll do everything in my power to get back to you as soon as I can.” View this post on Instagram Gutted. Heart broken. I can’t believe my fans sometimes. After waiting for hours & hours, they still tried to be understanding. Production was told the building does not have the power to facilitate my lifts (which don’t only move me below & very VERY high above the stage, but also move all our props, furniture, dancers, band, etc.), our lighting rig, fog, cryo, confetti, movies/visuals. They’d get the show powered up then the breaker would basically trip after a few mins. Juice WRLD & I waited while they did this over & over for 3 hours. Some of my fans came from Austria, Nigeria, etc. I met w/a lot of them & they had the best, sweetest energy. I’m so disappointed. Slovakia, I love you so much & I’ll do everything in my power to get back to you as soon as I can. I think the venue/promo team probably didn’t expect a rap show to have such over the top production. We run the risk of someone getting hurt if we start the show & smthng malfunctions mid-show. Sorry we couldn’t have a great night together. We’ll be in Poland on Sunday @ a building that can facilitate our show. A post shared by Barbie® (@nickiminaj) on Feb 22, 2019 at 4:49pm PST The Nicki WRLD Tour is co-headlined by Juice WRLD and just began on Thursday night in Munich. The two rappers are expected to make stops in Berlin, Oslo, Paris, and London, before wrapping up the European leg late next month on March 28 in Geneva.
