Source: ABC Finance Ltd If you’ve never seen British television series Black Mirror , don’t worry, there’s a chance you could get a dose of the dystopian fiction show in real life. In one terrifying episode , people were ranked and punished by their social credit score, which determined what kind of jobs they could work, where they could live, and the kind of people that would befriend them. Increasing this score meant upgrading your overall existence. IRL, the Chinese will rank its people by the year 2020 and Europe is currently considering the national reputation system as well—so how close are the United States and the UK to implementing a SCS…because quite frankly, it feels like it could be right around the corner. According to ABC Finance Ltd, should this go into effect everywhere “Governmental and financial institutions will monitor your everyday behaviour; ranking the way you spend your money, behave on social media and even who you associate with. This score could affect every aspect of your life, from the seats you can book on a plane to your access to dating sites, priority healthcare and even the school your children can attend.” The commercial finance specialists have been surveying folks in the wake of this disturbing news, and what they found was at least a fourth of the people questioned would be penalized under the credit system for these actions: 30% had criticized the government on social media. 64% would refuse to sign up for military service if it was asked of them. 41% of respondents admitted they’ve been late paying bills. 35% admitted to disobeying traffic laws when driving 66% of respondents said they would change their day-to-day behavior to increase their score. Also interesting is the fact that 75% of those surveyed said they would stop associating with friends if they were lowing their own personal score. Of the incentives to earn a good social credit score, priority healthcare was the most appealing. “Being publicly named and shamed” was the most concerning penalty, according to the survey results—because, of course, people want to do their dirt in private. Other penalties include not being able to get the best jobs, slower internet speeds, and even limited access to public transportation. If you think you could live with your social credit score, take this interactive quiz that shows you where you would potentially be ranked. It asks about what you post online, how you would modify your behavior moving forward, how much time you spend watching TV, and more.

Source: Steve Sands / Getty This Halloween month, an idea was planted in people’s heads that struck terror in their hearts… Trump having access to their phones. The talk came about when it was announced that a “presidential alert” would be sent to American phones on Wednesday around 2:18 p.m. E.T. The joint test by FEMA and the FCC is meant to check the existing emergency alert system (EAS) and the wireless emergency alerts (WEA), according to CNBC . Most people should be familiar with WEA messages. They usually come to your phone to warn you about severe weather in the area. Sometimes an WEA AMBER alert will sound off on your phone too if a child is missing. The presidential alert this Wednesday is simply a test and it won’t come from Donald Trump directly. However, in the future, it could come from Trump if there’s a national emergency. Hence, the paranoia. On Wednesday, the test people should have received said, “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.” But in the future, Late Night With Seth Meyers pointed out that it could read something like this… Thank goodness Donald Trump will be allowed to text the entire country starting tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/60RxoTyU4u — Late Night with Seth Meyers (@LateNightSeth) October 2, 2018 Or this… Today Trump gets yet another way to capture America’s attention. pic.twitter.com/Mrxz5ZfuO2 — Late Night with Seth Meyers (@LateNightSeth) October 3, 2018 One Twitter user even pointed out that Trump could once again abuse his power and use the WEA to send us his tweets directly… lmao my coworker said “Presidential Test?! Trump is gonna send us his tweets directly to our phones?!?!” — Miche (@MicheBangtan) October 3, 2018 Even Trump himself was a little too hype about the Wednesday test, writing, “At 2:18 pm ET today, I get to send MY 1st Presidential Alert to EVERYONE on there cell phone! NOBODY can opt out! Phones can’t be silenced! YOU HAVE TO READ MY TEXT! Can’t wait to send alerts about BIG SALES at MY Trump Hotels! I’m going to make so much money! # WednesdayWisdom ” At 2:18 pm ET today, I get to send MY 1st Presidential Alert to EVERYONE on there cell phone! NOBODY can opt out! Phones can't be silenced! YOU HAVE TO READ MY TEXT! Can't wait to send alerts about BIG SALES at MY Trump Hotels! I'm going to make so much money! #WednesdayWisdom — Donald J. Trump (@RealDonaldTrFan) October 3, 2018 Once the test was over, Trump had more to say… Wow! Just tested the #PresidentialAlert system. Very promising method of communication and will help eliminate the Fake News Media. Will soon be sending out my thoughts on the new film, A Star Is Born. Looks great! God Bless the U.S.A! — Donald J. Trump (@ambriehlx) October 3, 2018 Smh…”jokes” that hit a little too close to our worst nightmares. Considering the various scandals , ignorance and abuse of power Trump is known for, he definitely would be the one to hit you up at the most inconvenient time. Giving Donald Trump the ability to text the entire country is bound to end up like this. pic.twitter.com/xILjNJBMJ3 — Late Night with Seth Meyers (@LateNightSeth) October 3, 2018 Folks across social media were already outraged that Trump could technically text them anytime… We’re supposed to get a text alert from Trump at 2:18pm today. I’m going to respond and tell him to fuck off. — Anna Notaro (@AnnaNotaro22) October 3, 2018 Some people were even more anxious since consent and consideration aren’t necessarily Trump’s strong points. Who gave the President permission to text my phone?? Oh wait, who am I kidding…getting someone’s consent has never been one of his strong suits. #PresidentialAlert — Tyler Bowman (@Tgbowman) October 3, 2018 At the end of it all, the presidential alerts resulted in some hilarious parodies for how Trump would most likely abuse his texting privileges. From thoughts about his alleged mushroom-sized peen , to support for Brett Kavanaugh ‘s Supreme Court nomination, hit the next pages to peep the spam we hopefully won’t get from Trump.

The “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” star posted an IG pic Wednesday of her daughter Jasmine who looks EXACTLY like her. If you can remember, Jasmine appeared on “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” in 2015 when Karlie was dating Lyfe Jenning and told her mom she was considering dropping out of college. What do YOU think about seeing Karlie Redd’s daughter Jasmine???
Timothy Hiatt/Getty Images In anticipation of the return of some of our favorite shows, “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago PD” and “Chicago Med” BOSSIP recently took part in Chicago ONE day where we were able to interview producers and talent from all three shows and take part in tours of each set. Tonight marks the return of all three shows and it will be the first time that the franchises, all which were created by Dick Wolf, regularly air on the same night. When we asked Dick Wolf what it meant for him to have all three shows airing this Wednesday, he told us the news was “thrilling.” “I sincerely believe it’s going to work,” Wolf told BOSSIP. “I think that it’s an opportunity to have, not even crossovers, but characters just appearing on the other shows. When it’s on one night, it’s going to be even more impactful.” “The second episode is a triple crossover,” Wolf added. “On that nightl “Fire” is going first into “Med,” because of people injured in the fire and then into “PD.” To have the freedom to build the event, it’s wonderful.” For newcomers, like Annie Ilonzeh, who plays paramedic Emily Foster on “Chicago Fire” in their 7th season, filming the crossover episode was both overwhelming and exciting. “It was the biggest shock,” Ilonzeh told BOSSIP. ” I felt like a kid in the candy store.” Kara Kilmer, who plays Foster’s partner in paramedics, Sylvie Brett told BOSSIP that Ilonzeh fit right in with the cast, but was fun to watch during the crossover taping. “We had our first pull up and it was downtown with multiple units,” Kilmer described to BOSSIP. “I was driving the ambo and all of us were converging in front of this one iconic building and Annie was like ‘Oh, you guys really do this, I have to get my phone out.’” “I’m thinking they have stunt drivers and all this,” Ilonzeh chimed in. “I’m thinking there’s no way you can drive this big old truck and all the trucks and she’s swinging around corners, like, ‘Vroom!’ ‘I’m like… Annie, bring your eyes back to normal size. She impresses me so much on the day to day.” Ilonzeh wasn’t the only newcomer at Chicago Day. Singer/Actress Heather Headley is a recurring cast member on Season 4 of “Chicago Med.” She plays Gwen Garrett, a Harvard grad hired to watch the hospital’s bottom line, who ends up bumping heads with Sharon Goodwin (played by S. Epatha Merkerson). Headley spoke to BOSSIP about playing such a boss and going head to head with the amazing Merkerson. Elizabeth Sisson/NBC “I love it,” Headley told BOSSIP. “I’m really grateful to the writers that they weren’t scared of making her female, making her a black female and having a black female come against another strong black female in a very intelligent way.” “They both want what’s best for the hospital, they just come at it differently,” Headley continued. “My character is the brain book, like ‘this is how it’s supposed to be done, this is what’s best for the hospital, it is what it is,’ while Lady E – Epatha, I call her Lady E – is like the heart and blood, the soul of it, so she sees it from a different angle. It’s been fun to do it. To be strong. To not make her witchy with a capital B. Because that’s the first thing people think, because she’s a boss, but no, this is just how it’s done. I love it and I’m very grateful, they could have made her a male, easily, any kind of male, any kind of female, but I’m grateful that I’m her face. Hopefully give her not a bad name, to understand those rules are necessary. She’s a little bad but she’s fun.” Besides the addition of Ilonzeh to the “Chicago Fire” cast, viewers can expect sad moments as the cast mourns the death of Dushon Monique Brown, who passed away last March. Brown played Connie, who assisted Fire Chief Boden (Eamonn Walker). “Chicago Med” airs at 8pm EST, “Chicago Fire” airs at 9pm EST and “Chicago PD” airs at 10pm EST. Hit the flip for shots from set

Source: Lauren Beasley / Lauren Beasley Ms. Lauryn Hill is one of the greatest. Let’s get that out the way. Outside of her classic The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album, she has released rap tunes and Unplugged performances to get fans through life. Which is why it can be so disappointing when her shows take a turn for the negative. For example, Lauryn has already canceled several dates on her Miseducation 20th Anniversary Tour, including her Wednesday show in Charlotte, North Carolina, her Thursday show in Raleigh, her Sunday show in St. Petersburg, Florida, her August 2 show in Jacksonville, Florida, and her August 17 show in Bristow, Virginia. According to Tampa Bay Times , her Tuesday, July 31 date in Miami has been rescheduled to October 15, while her July 5 concert in Virginia Beach has been pushed back to August 15, according to The Virginia Pilot . Live Nation said the canceling and rescheduling was due to “unforeseen production issues.” All of this comes just days after a tragic show in Toronto where L Boogie was over an hour late and only performed for 45 minutes (for what was supposed to be a nearly two hour set). So disappointed in the Lauryn Hill concert tonight. Made fans wait over an hour and then performed for 45 mins max. Could barely recognize the songs she attempted to sing. Cash grab for sure. Don’t waste your money on her! — Jennifer Azevedo (@WWJenn) July 19, 2018 *Sigh* Considering Lauryn’s long track record of being late, fans shouldn’t be surprised by this news. But that doesn’t stop us from going through our own grieving process! Swipe through for the six stages of grief when Ms. Hill hits us with the cancel button or is over an hour late to her own show!
