Part of that anticipation is not only the final farewell to Ghost, Tommy and company, it’s hearing the sulty sounds of bald-headed R&B legend Joe belt out the hook of a generation “They say this is a big rich towwwwwnnnn…” Inexplicably, Fofty has chosen to remix the classic intro and he’s asked Trey Songz and A-Boogie With The Hoodie to join him in the desecration. Yeah. Naw.
Source: Adriana M. Barraza/WENN.com / WENN Jason Momoa Was Pictured Without His Signature Abs & People Went In Last week, Us Weekly posted a photo of Jason Momoa shirtless while on vacation in Italy. Usually, a shirtless photo of Jason Momoa–or any photo of Jason Momoa, really–would spark nothing but thirsty commenters, but this time around, things were a little bit different. This time, the comments were bombarded with people wondering where the usually very buff star’s abs went. Here’s the picture in question: View this post on Instagram What else could you need on a holiday weekend? Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet vacationed in Venice and the photos are must see Tap the bio for more! ( : MEGA/AMA) A post shared by Us Weekly (@usweekly) on Jul 3, 2019 at 4:36am PDT When the picture was first posted, certain commenters began to call this Momoa’s “dad bod.” If that’s what people are going to start calling dad bods, then we’ve got a way bigger issue here–but it’s still alarming that someone as fit as Jason Momoa can still be body shamed for what is probably just the result of not working out while on vacation. crazy how jason momoa’s greatest critics are dumpy middle aged women lol pic.twitter.com/jjtmF4H0ee — b** (@MINECRAFTMILF) July 11, 2019 In the Instagram comments of the picture, one person could be seen asking “what happened to his abs?” alongside a crying emoji. Another said: “This is what it looks like when he lets himself go.” In another comment section of the same photo on Facebook, somebody else suggested that Momoa needed to “start lifting” again. Despite the fact that these commenters probably don’t have six packs themselves, everyone else on the internet quickly realized how absolutely insane these criticisms were, and fans quickly came to Jason’s defense. Apparently, the internet is body shaming Jason Momoa for this photo, saying he has a 'dad bod'. Hahahahaha! Go home, internet. You're drunk. pic.twitter.com/iq5dKMH9Ud — Luke Romyn (@LukeRomyn) July 11, 2019 If that's a “dad bod”, I have “bed-ridden grandpa bod” — Cam (@camk94) July 11, 2019 For those of us who actually have bodies that more closely resemble an actual dad (or mom, is that a thing?) bod, it should be more comforting than anything to see people like Jason Momoa–who is known for having an incredible physique–able to take a break, enjoy vacation, and not focus on whether or not he has a six pack 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The moral of the story here: literally ANYONE can be body shamed, even people who probably work out more than 300 days a year and have bodies that look like they were sculpted by God himself. The internet sure is a fun place, isn’t it? Hopefully Jason Momoa isn’t taking any of these comments to heart because, let’s face it, he’ll probably have a six pack again the second he does 3 or 4 sit-ups–and the rest of us…..won’t.
T here were several shootings last night in Baltimore and one of the victims is a student at Morgan State University. The school has confirmed the victim to be Manuel Luis, he was a sophomore and shot outside of the school. He was a business student and found dead in a car around 5 a.m. See Also: ‘Troubling’ Video Shows Cops Assaulting Innocent Mother And Yanking Her Baby Away Morgan State University released the following statement , “As a community, the Morgan family collectively extends our deepest sympathies and sincere condolences to the Luis family. We ask that you keep them and their extended family and friends in prayer. In moments of despair, we come together and reaffirm our familial ties and bonds as Morganites.” Manuel Luis was only 19 years old. CBS reports detectives believe Luis was being robbed by two people when he was shot, “Investigators called it a crime of opportunity that escalated into tragedy.” One report claims he was about to drive home to see his parents. MSU student Shree Realer said, “It happened at 2:22 a.m., actually, because I remember looking at the clock right after it happened. It was like one gunshot and then you heard four more straight afterwards.” There has been outpour on social media. One user wrote, “Manuel Luis….I promise you will NEVER be forgotten. The way you went is going to hurt me and so many. In 8 months you impacted plenty. Sucks that this is what it took for Morgan to wake tf up about security. My Morgan family we gotta do something to honor him. He was too pure.” Manuel Luis….I promise you will NEVER be forgotten. The way you went is going to hurt me and so many. In 8 months you impacted plenty. Sucks that this is what it took for Morgan to wake tf up about security. My Morgan family we gotta do something to honor him. He was too pure. pic.twitter.com/HEPKMHo4vE — onya (@OnyaSolomon_) July 11, 2019 Another tweet read, “Sending prayers & condolences to all who are affected by the loss of one of our own, Manuel Luis. It always hits hard when we loose one of our own. It’s time for Morgan State & it’s surrounding communities to band together in order to stop this senselessness! # LongLiveManny .” Other shootings included a 25-year-old man who was suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to his calf. He was allegedly robbed while leaving a liquor store around 9 p.m. Around 10:45 p.m., another man was shot and taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview, where he was pronounced dead a short time later, according to police. Our condolences go out to the family and friends of everyone affected by these tragedies.

As long was rumored, the Feds had R’uh on their radar. The New York Times reports that on Thursday night (July 11), federal agents arrested him for charges that include child pornography. The “I Believe I Can Fly” singer was already under indictment in Chicago for aggravated sexual assault and abuse, which are state charges. He also caught 11 more felony charges in May. The new 13 count indictment includes charges of child pornography, enticement of a minor and obstruction of justice. According to the Chicago Tribune , Kelly was arrested around 7 p.m., while he was out walking his dog near his home at…wait for it…Trump Tower. This story is developing.

Yet Rih has been busy doing everything but making music. She’s out here being a near-billionaire selling her makeup and lingerie and whatever else she wants while maybe wanting to get married to her own billionaire boo. She’s living her best life. That hasn’t stopped us from pestering her over her album every damn day. Rih has seen your pleas and she has answered with…making fun of all of us. Whoops.

Source: Bea De Costa / Bea De Costa At Harlem’s “Field Trip” Rice Is The Star Of The Show Harlem’s celebrity chef JJ Johnson has opened a new eatery uptown where the rice takes the center stage. The humble grain is elevated at “Field Trip,” which showcases how rice has been overlooked, yet remained a staple in countries in the African Diaspora for thousands of years. Field Trip officially opened for business on July 10, hawking rice bowls that incorporate flavors from places like China, India, South East Asia, the Americas and West Africa. “Noodle bars have been getting love – why not rice?” Chef Johnson said. “We’re just trying to bring some more respect back to it. I don’t think it’s unfamiliar because we all eat it, but for it to be the center of the show, we haven’t seen that.” Source: Bea De Costa / Bea De Costa The restaurant serves rice bowls topped with ingredients like braised beef, spicy black beans and turmeric yogurt or salmon, pineapple and edamame topped with Piri Piri sauce. The bowls range in price from $8.99 to $11.99 and there’s a half-price option for kids. Source: Bea De Costa / Bea De Costa The mains are paired with inventive sides like crab pockets (fried dumplings filled with crab and garlic herb cream cheese) and there’s a dairy-free rice milk hibiscus raspberry ice cream for dessert. Source: Bea De Costa / Bea De Costa Field Trip is housed in a historic building on Lenox Avenue, and its exposed brick and a stripped back aesthetic gives the place an almost industrial feel. And it’s playlist features only Harlem-born artists. Chef Johnson said that he grew up eating rice, and got the idea for his restaurant after traveling the world as a young chef and seeing how other cultures incorporated the grain into their dishes. He said his rice varieties are freshly milled heirlooms that aren’t bleached or enriched. Source: Bea De Costa / Bea De Costa The rice-forward concept went over well with customer Marita Monroe, who lives a block away, gave “Field Trip” two thumbs up. “Finally, the community has a place to feel welcome,” Monroe said. “It’s not intimidating. And the pricing is great.” “Field Trip” is located at 109 Lenox Ave. in New York City.
