Zion Williamson Signs With Jordan Brand

Source: Jordan Brand / Jordan Brand Zion Williamson is set on setting his own path as the first Zion Williamson. However, he will be rocking kicks with an iconic legacy since today (July 23—probably not a coincidence), Jordan Brand announced it has signed the NBA’s No. 1 draft pick to the house that Air Jordan built. Let’s Dance #JUMPMAN pic.twitter.com/Ra0mq4OwYQ — Zion Williamson (@Zionwilliamson) July 23, 2019 No details on the specifics of the deal, but you can bet the bag the future of New Orleans Pelicans secured is sizeable. “I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of the Jordan Brand family,” says Williamson via a press statement. “Since I was a kid, I dreamed of making it to the league and having the type of impact on the game Michael Jordan had and continues to have today. He was one of those special athletes I looked up to, and I really can’t express how happy and excited I am for this journey.” Recently, it was rumored that it had come down to Nike and Puma for his services. JB has been busy this summer, inking Jayson Tatum, NBA lottery pick Rui Hachimura, WNBA players Asia Durr and Kia Nurse and NFL rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins to endorsement deals. They’re all joining a roster that already includes the likes of Russell Westbrook and Kemba Walker. Now the question is how soon will Zion get his own signature line? Or, what retros is he going to rock in a game? But maybe most importantly, Jordan Brand better make sure none of his kicks disintegrate during a hard cut like his Nikes did that one time at Duke . Also, Air Jordan himself co-signed the move. “Zion’s incredible determination, character and play are inspiring,” sayd Michael Jordan in a statement. “He’s an essential part of the new talent that will help lead the brand into the future. He told us he would ‘shock the world,’ and asked us to believe him. We do.” It’s time. #JUMPMAN https://t.co/QNV0UXtncT — Jordan (@Jumpman23) July 23, 2019 Well, this should be fun.

Jig Spotting: R. Kelly’s Crisis Manager Steps Down After Gayle King Interview

See the article here:

Source: E. JASON WAMBSGANS / Getty The fall of R. Kelly has been spectacular to witness and it’s only going to get worse from this point out. Adding insult to injury, Kelly’s crisis manager, Darrell Johnson, pretty much spotted the jig to come and got out of dodge promptly after an interview with CBS News’ Gayle King . CBS News reports : “I step down as crisis manager for personal reasons. Mr. Kelly is in good hands with Mr. Greenberg,” Johnson said, referring to Steve Greenberg, the criminal defense attorney who heads Kelly’s legal team in Chicago. The news come hours after Johnson appeared on “CBS This Morning” and told co-host Gayle King that he would never leave his own daughter alone with an accused pedophile. Pressed on whether he wouldn’t leave his daughter alone with Kelly specifically, Johnson repeated: “I would not leave my daughter with anyone that’s accused of being a pedophile. I would not.” When King pointed out the seeming contradiction of defending Kelly, an accused pedophile, and simultaneously saying he wouldn’t trust his own daughter alone with anyone accused of that crime, Johnson repeated, “I wouldn’t leave my daughter with anyone — I’m going to say it again — that’s accused of being a pedophile.” The fact remains that Johnson was on the payroll defending Kelly so either the money ran out or he spotted an upcoming jig. — Photo: Getty

Elizabeth Warren Introducing A Bill To Cancel Student Loan Debt Has Everyone Talking

Read the original post:

Source: Derrick Salters/WENN.com / WENN Elizabeth Warren Is Putting Her Plan For Student Loan Debt Into Action As the race heats up between more than a dozen Democratic Presidential candidates, there are certain issues that continue to be brought up time and time again both on the campaign trail and during debates. One of those issues is student loan debt, with the idea of some sort of debt forgiveness being at the top of a lot of a lot of voters’ list. Senator Elizabeth Warren has been vocal about her plan for student loan forgiveness over the past couple of months, but now, she’s really putting that plan into action. The Massachusetts politician introduced a bill on Tuesday that would forgive student loans for tens of millions of Americans, which would mean three-quarters of borrowers would have their balances reset to zero. The Senator first released her plan to do this very thing back in April, but the legislation–which has been dubbed the Student Loan Debt Relief Act–offers new details on how she would go about dismantling the country’s outstanding student debt, which is soon expected to exceed $2 trillion. Under Warren’s newly introduced proposal, borrowers with household incomes under $100,000 would get $50,000 of their student debt completely forgiven. People who earn between $100,000 and $250,000 would be eligible for forgiveness on a sliding scale. And those who earn more than $250,000 would not get any debt relief. For those wondering about the logistics of this whole thing: the degree of debt forgiveness a person receives would be determined by their income in the most recent tax year and the loan cancellations would take about a year from the time the bill is enacted to complete. Though most people crippled by their student loan debt are probably huge fans of this idea, not everyone is on board with completely cancelling out such a tab. Consumer advocacy groups like the National Consumer Law Center came out in support of the plan, saying, “we support bills like the Student Loan Debt Relief Act because it recognizes the enormity of the crisis facing today’s borrowers.” Others oppose the plan, like President and CEO of the Consumer Bankers Association Richard Hunt , who says, “this proposal does nothing to decrease the cost of college and does not help future students.” But all in all, the proposal is popular among voters. In a Politico/Morning Consult  poll , 56% of registered voters said they support the Massachusetts senator’s proposal to cancel outstanding education loans by raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Only 27% of voters said they opposed the plan. Here’s what people on Twitter had to say about Warren’s controversial plan: How is that fair to those students who PAID their loans? — Deborah VanderHamm (@DeborahVanderH2) July 23, 2019 https://twitter.com/megagenesiz/status/1153787718511390723?s=20 A start but too means-tested, the @IlhanMN and @BernieSanders plan is far better! — Tim Johnson (@tim_in_mpls) July 23, 2019 We need to hold on to the House & win the Senate for that to happen. — Lisa4AlFranken2020 (@LisaMikol1969) July 23, 2019 If you cancel it , where does it go? — Jeter (G-TeR) (@j_schafer1) July 23, 2019 Say what you want, but @ewarren is the real deal. #Warren2020 President Elizabeth Warren. — Steven (@abrusteven) July 23, 2019 What is next? Cancel people’s home loans? Car loans? Lower the interest rates. Provide a path to work off the loan via work in at need parts of the country. People need to take responsibility for their actions. — Yojimbo 2000 (@yojimbo_2000) July 23, 2019 I would be grateful for zero interest and maybe all the interest I've paid to be applied to my principle. I have paid down my loan only a few hundred bucks after years of payments because of interest. — BendaBoo (@MarlanaBenda) July 23, 2019

Luke Parker to God: I Tried to Bring You Glory on The Bachelorette!

After a great deal of misogynistic rambling on Monday night, Luke Parker finally apologized to Hannah Brown. The polarizing suitor did issue a mea culpa of some kind for his behavior toward The Bachelorette this season toward the end of the Men Tell All special. And now? About a full day since it aired? Luke has made the same gesture toward someone else… … God. In a lengthy Instagram post shared after the aforementioned special aired — and therefore after he was trashed by fellow contestants as a liar and a psychopath – Luke wrote the following: “I want you all to know why I went on this TV show and why I went back for @alabamahannah after she sent me home. I never wanted to go on the show to begin with, my sister in law @hleaparker22 signed me up and I kept an open mind.” Parker is referring here to how he crashed Hannah’s rose ceremony even after she sent him home. This was a first in Bachelorette history — and the move earned Parker endless rebuke from viewers and other suitors alike. View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Recap: The Men Tell All… About How Much Luke Sucks Continuing in his latest social media post, Luke explained how he was drawn to Hannah back when she was a contestant on Colton Underwood’s season  of The Bachelor . “Going through the interview process I watched Colton’s season and a beautiful southern girl stood out to me during the intro videos. “She told the cameras she respected Colton’s virginity and that it was super appealing to her that he was a virgin, and was the bachelor because sex was a big deal to her.” Previously on this season, Luke had opened up about he was a major player in college… but then had an epiphany after God spoke to him in the shower one day and has been celibate for the last four years. Hence, in his mind, why Parker so often tried to shame Hannah for how close she got other men throughout her Bachelorette journey. When she finally admitted to having slept with two of them in Fantasy Suites, Parker really laid into Hannah and she finally sent him home. With a middle finger extended. View Slideshow: Luke Parker to Hannah Brown: You’re a Dirty, Rotten Sinner! As you can read about directly above, Parker and Brown then got into a heated argument about faith, religion and intercourse via Twitter. These were the same topics Luke tackled in his Instagram message, too. Citing Brown’s introduction again on The Bachelor, he wrote: I saw her Instagram and in her bio read “I love Jesus with my whole heart”, I was sold and if I was going on this TV show it was for her. I also noticed she told Colton how she wanted to be a wife of Noble character. I knew she was quoting Proverbs 31 which gave me the impression there is a way God could use this show… yes, even the “Bachelorette” as a way to bring him Glory. So there you have it, we suppose. Luke Parker appeared on The Bachelorette because God called him to do so in order to honor Him. In that sense, Luke must think he failed. “The first night I made her a Proverbs 31 bracelet then explained to her that I noticed what she said to Colton and I knew where it came from and how important my faith was to me,” writes Luke now, adding: “Shortly after that, I get the first impression rose.” Hannah was often criticized for how openly she talked this season about both sex and Christianity, prompting her to fire  back at her haters at one point. “I am standing firm in believing that maybe God wants to use a mess like me to point to His goodness and grace. But dang, it’s hard,” she wrote on Instagram last month, adding at the time: “The amount of hate I and the men on this journey with me receive…it’s chilling to know so many people want to spread hurt so recklessly. “We all fall short of the glory of God…we just happen to do it on national television.” It’s hard not to wonder how God is feeling right now, you know? Seeing His name bantered about in such aa manner on The Bachelorette. Back to Parker, however: He insists once again that Brown is lying and she told him on the show that she would NOT sleep with anyone during the season. On my hometown date I brought Hannah to a bible study with my college church group, where I shared my story of how God transformed my life and gave me a desire to live my life for him in obedience, that included waiting until marriage for sex. H annah on the date, stands up and tells the group her story of how she was convicted to live a life in pursuit of Jesus. She also told them that she wasn’t going to use the fantasy suites for sex but for conversation, no matter how @abcnetwork made it look. If Hannah really said this, and then went back on her word by sleeping with someone in a windmill twice , why did Parker return to the series after Brown refused to give him a rose? Concludes Luke on Instagram: I had to go back and fight for her. I believed in my heart she was making the biggest mistake of her life based on what she was telling me, I wanted her to know that we could get through this and I was here for her. That’s not at all condescending, Luke. You may want to revise your views on women and their capabilities of thinking for themselves. Just a suggestion, man. Oh, and here’s another suggestion: Go take a long walk off a short pier. View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Who Gets Exposed? Who Wins Hannah’s Heart? [UPDATED]

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: Lawsuits, Scheming, and More Drama!

The most recent season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has been heavy on the Lisa Vanderpump shade, but light on the lawsuits.  Tuesday’s second part of the reunion shed light the things that never made it to the show during the season, and it was wild from start to finish.  A fan questioned why the ladies were happy enough to drag LVP and everything she did, yet they were not keeping fans up to speed about their financial situations.  “Erika’s happy to talk about Lisa Vanderpump all day, but when it comes to Tom [Girardi] defaulting on a $15 million loan, she doesn’t say a word,” Andy read from a card.  “How ’bout this,” Erika shot back. “Resolved, and they apologized.” Andy then tried a similar tactic with Kyle when another fan had a question.  “Amy from Texas said, ‘I guess Kyle isn’t gonna mention Mauricio [Umansky] scamming someone out of $37 million when she can just talk about Dorit’s dog.'” Kyle was livid.  “My husband did not scam anyone,” she yelled. “That causes problems because my husband’s never made $36 million on a deal in his life!” “That’s what a property sold for, okay? So your question from whoever the f–k Monty is in McGootville saying my husband’s scamming people out of $36 million…” Andy was shook, and checked the card again, before saying “Amy from Texas.” “Okay, Amy from Texas!” Kyle shouted. “That’s a misleading question.” Andy then tried to backtrack by rephrasing the questions.  “There’s a lawsuit relating to a dispute about a property.” “And that’s it — a dispute!” Erika said, while Kyle said to Andy, “Yeah, but the way it was worded is damaging, and I don’t appreciate that.” Andy then checked in with Dorit, and said that she also had lawsuits.  “He wants a certain amount of money, and no, I can’t get into numbers because it’s an ongoing lawsuit,” she replied. “Andy, the judge has ordered mediation,” Dorit explained. “The judge looked at it and said, ‘Listen, you guys figure this out.’ I am very comfortable in our position. It is in the lawyers’ hands. It doesn’t need to have a discussion because there’s a lot of details about it that I can’t really speak about.” To make things fair, Andy chatted about LVP and a lawsuit against Vanderpump Dogs for wrongful termination.  He wanted to know if the ladies thought Lisa would chat about it.  “I doubt it, but I would not have brought it up,” Kyle said. “I don’t want to hurt her business or hurt her. As a group of friends, we don’t say, ‘Hey, Erika, so what is going on with that thing?'” “You don’t? I would. If my friend was being sued…” Andy explained, before Kyle cut him off. “Well you would ’cause look what you do for a living.” Elsewhere, Lisa Rinna opened up about her daughter going public with her eating disorder on Instagram.  She admitted that she had no idea Amelia was telling the world about her struggles.  “It’d probably been going on for longer than we know, but when you physically see it, it’s undeniable,” she said. “You can’t ignore it.” “When we had that barbecue, I think that that was a really pivotal point,” Rinna added. Andy then asked about how Harry should have reacted, prompting Rinna to reply, “Well, from what the therapist told him when he went to see the therapist, she said, ‘You have to shut the f–k up.’ And those were the exact words that she said to him.” “Amelia’s gone through a lot in her anorexia,” Rinna explained. “She’s quite healthy right now. Right in this moment. And recently, people have said, ‘Well, you don’t look anorexic. You’re not that thin.’ Which is a really big trigger. It’s f–king difficult.” Things took a turn when Andy essentially asked if Rinna being conscious about her eating habits and weight could have contributed to Ameilia’s issues.  “Probably, yeah,” Rinna confessed. “Do I have any food issues? I probably do ’cause I’m in this business.” Meanwhile, the ladies opened up about the way Camille acted throughout the season.  “Here’s what happens,” Kyle said to Camille. “When we’re together, you will say things like, ‘I know who Lisa is, she’s done this to me, she’s done that.’ And when you’re not with us, you’re like, ‘Lisa, I feel so bad with what you’re going through.'” “Can I feel both? I can feel both,” Camille wondered, prompting Dorit to point out, “Not if they contradict one another.” “You’ve got to have conviction,” Kyle continued. “Okay, my conviction is I felt terrible that her brother passed away,” Camille said.  “What human wouldn’t?!” Kyle fired back. Teddi Mellencamp subsequently chimed in.  “But you can still say she has terrible breath and her gums are receding?!” “That was a joke, and you all laughed! And you all laughed!” Camille yelled as she looked at Kyle.  “And you continued with the conversation and said, ‘Yes, don’t get me into it, but she’s always had bad breath.'” “Yes, you have! That is bullshit! You’ve talked about that off camera with me!,” Camille continued.  “Camille, that’s such a f–king low blow,” Kyle screamed across the couch. “We’ve all said things privately about each other. I would never out you! If I did right now, it would be a very bad situation. I don’t do that!” The back and forth continued for dear life.  How did you feel about all of this? RHOBH continues Tuesdays at 9/8c.  View Slideshow: Andrew Glennon: Already Texting a New Woman!
