Spotted… Pure Heat Community Festival Photos Over the weekend Atlanta’s Piedmont Park housed the 5th annual Pure Heat Community Festival; also known as a free “day of unity.” The annual event that takes place during Black Gay Pride weekend included market and food vendors and educational forums with guests ranging from Tiffany Evans… to Trina and Towanda Braxton… and Jhonni Blaze. K. Michelle also performed a medley of her Billboard chart-toping hits and received the 2016 Humanitarian Award presented by The Vision Community Foundation. Other honorees included long time Atlanta Black Gay Pride supporters Ryan Anderson (“SunTrust Bank”), Pam Stewart (“Coca Cola”) and Earl Fowlkes Jr. (“Center for Black Equity”) and Frederick Anderson (“Freddy O”). Karamo Brown also attended the Festival on behalf of Positively Fearless, a movement from Janssen Therapeutics that celebrates being black, brave, proud, gay even being HIV-positive.

Hombres @INPEC_Colombia atraparon paloma q transportaba celular a internos d cárcel de Cómbita @ELTIEMPO @Citytv pic.twitter.com/mGhtqvw7bV — Édgar Pacheco (@pachecoprensa) August 29, 2016 Colombian Prison Officials Catch A Pigeon Smuggling A Cell Phone Into Jail Prisoners are the most resourceful people to ever walk the Earth. Via NYPost This pigeon ruffled a few feathers — including its own — by trying to smuggle a cellphone to a jailbird. The high-tech carrier pigeon flew to the Combita prison in Colombia on a wing and a prayer and was caught outside with the device attached to its back. It was unclear who hatched the plan for the poor pigeon, which was grabbed by two guards who removed the little harness holding the phone. Prison officials said they are investigating which inmate was behind the birdbrained mission. Who the hell trained this pigeon?! Mike Tyson??? Image via Twitter
With a sold-out crowd that brought in more than 50,000 people, Music Midtown proved it wasn’t going anywhere. T.I. and Luda hit the stage on different days but both performances had people hyped! Held in Piedmont Park it was considered an unqualified success. According to The Atlanta Journal , T.I. shut it down during his set on Friday… One of the more enthusiastic crowds was for Atlanta rapper T.I., whose wave-an-A-shaped hand- in-the-air performance showed off his charisma, if not his fluidity of his skills. Backed by a team on drums, bass and guitar, a DJ handling tracks and the requisite on-stage entourage, T.I. performed his hits “100 Grand,” “Whatever You Like” and his 2010 smash with Rihanna, “Live Your Life.” With five albums under his belt – or whatever one uses to secure sagging pants – T.I. raced through a lot of material during his 45-minute set, sometimes performing only 60-second snippets. However, his brevity didn’t disappoint this hip-hop-savvy audience that bounced and roared when some of those samples included covers of Kanye West and Jay-Z. Luda gave good music on Saturday… Before his set, the Atlanta rapper, clad in his stage uniform of black tank top with USA across the front, black shorts and also headphones around his neck, professed genuine excitement not only to be playing a festival in his adopted hometown, but also that he had a full hour to perform and could pull from his eight-album catalog. Backed by a full band, Luda asked the by-then-sold-out crowd, “Are you ready to party tonight?” Snippets of his high-profile work with others – Usher’s “Yeah,” Enrique Iglesias’ “Tonight I’m Loving You” (the clean version) and Fergie’s “Glamorous” – were interspersed with his own material. The agreeable crowd put their hands in the air, waved them like they just didn’t care and followed Luda’s other cheerful instructions on tracks such as “What’s Your Fantasy” and “Stand Up.” His fluidity as a rapper can never be overstated – he’s like verbal liquid when he gets going – but what made Ludacris’ set even more enjoyable was his obvious glee at performing.
