Source: WENN / WENN Nas And Will Smith Invest In A New App Geared Toward Teens Will Smith and Nas are among the initial investors in a new app that aims to teach teenagers financial literacy. Step, the start-up company, is developing an app that will give young adults access to bank accounts with no minimum balance, no fees, and advice on how to manage the money inside of it. The app will also integrate with Apple Pay and other online money-moving apps, along with giving parents the option to monitor the account while setting limits and guidelines. Step CEO and co-founder CJ MacDonald explained why this app is so necessary, saying, “Schools don’t teach kids about money. We want to be their first bank accounts with spending cards, but we also want to teach financial literacy and responsibility.” He continued, “Banks don’t tailor to this, and we want to be a solution teaching the next generation of adults to be more responsible with money in the cashless era. It was easy with cash to go to the mall but now everyone is using their phone for Uber and more.” Mastercard’s Sherri Haymond praised the new idea in a press release, also noting how it would incorporate new avenues of financial literacy to account for changes in the way that people access their money–like the aforementioned Apple Pay and other similar technology. “Today’s young people are digitally savvy, having grown up with technology as a mainstay in their day-to-day lives. As a result, we also need to ensure that they become familiar with the unique aspects of digital payments including providing education about the various finance and payment products available,” Haymond said. “Step has taken a thoughtful approach to developing an offering for teens and families that provides that first step in educating and acclimating today’s youth to help them gain confidence and awareness around their finances.” Both Nas and Will Smith know first hand how important it is to get your children equipped with the right tools early, and that’s exactly what this app aims to do.

Source: Jeff Kravitz / Getty Let’s Take A Walk Down Meme-ory Lane For Chris Evans’ 38th Birthday Chris Evans made his way into our hearts by playing the role of Captain America, but over the past couple years, he’s transformed into an outspoken activist on Twitter that people love–but ever more-so, they love to make him into a meme. If you’ve somehow made your way through the Twitterverse without seeing any of these memes, you’re not following the right people. Photos of Chris along with some of our other favorite Avengers–including Robert Downey Jr. , Tom Holland , Michael B. Jordan , and Tom Hiddleston –were made into the perfect reaction pictures by giving them a set of acrylics and as you might be able to imagine from that description alone, the result is absolutely hilarious. A thread of all the Chris Evans Acrylic memes I’ve come across pic.twitter.com/ZIApI8wAjg — Ash Happy Pride! (@spacegirlapollo) June 1, 2019 This all started when an old video of Chris Evans saying, “I’m Captain America, Period” resurfaced from an interview when he was promoting Civil War back in 2016. Obviously, this was before The City Girls’ iconic “PERIODT” was a thing, but naturally, everyone ran with it and decided to make Chris Evans a City Girl. “I'm Captain America. Period. The end.” pic.twitter.com/r67AHe6da3 — ' (@caprogers1940) December 5, 2018 Like I mentioned before, Chris has become pretty active on social media, a majority of the time using his platform for speaking out about certain political issues he’s passionate about–but in an amazing turn of events, Captain America himself ended up coming across a video compilation of some of his best acrylic-clad memes. And of course, he’s a fan. This gave me a genuine belly laugh. https://t.co/BOmC7JUUdV — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) June 3, 2019 This tweet–even more than the joy already brought by the memes themselves–set the internet on fire…because there’s something so comforting about knowing that Chris Evans likes the sight of himself with a fresh set of nails. The internet can really be a wonderful place, sometimes. With that being said, there are A LOT more memes where that came from. So, for Chris’ birthday, I thought we should compile them all here for your viewing pleasure. But not before looking at some of the heart-warming birthday wishes from some of his fellow Avengers. Really softens the blow after that whole “Iron Man is dead and Captain America is super old and never going to be in another Avengers movie” thing, huh?! Happy birthday to America's ass. The world's a better place, and I owe you a kiss on the cheek! @ChrisEvans pic.twitter.com/iCFRSu0DIH — Robert Downey Jr (@RobertDowneyJr) June 13, 2019 Happiest of birthdays to the fantastic @ChrisEvans Love you, Bro.

Even though we won’t always have him on the big screen, we’ll always have him on Twitter. pic.twitter.com/RoJSop4V9G — Ash Happy Pride!

Source: Xilla Valentine / Xilla Valentine I sat down with Karrueche to discuss the new season of her hit show on TNT Claws . During our conversation, Karrueche opened up about people underestimating the show and her. “It was great for people to see me on a new level where I was taken seriously. Before I’ve done independent films and low budget. Which is still great and part of my journey as an actor, but for this from season one to now has been very empowering.” Jenn Lyon who also stars on Claws chimed in to remind us that until now she has always been attached to someone else as someone else’s girlfriend or a social media influencer. “Now she stands on her own,” Jenn said After that, Karrueche opened up about a pivotal turning point in her life and what it took for her to make a name for herself in order to make it on her own. Karrueche says, “It was tough because I hit a moment in my life where literally, I was like WTF am I going to do? What am I going to do? I thought I used to work at a boutique in LA on Robertson, I was a personal assistant, I worked at Nordstrom for 3 or 4 years before that… Am I going to have to go back to retail?” Then she remembered she had a large following on social media and contemplated ways to capitalize off of the notoriety. “I have this platform of a million or so followers at the time, that kind of means something but what can I do? But also what can I also do that last, that has longevity? That means something? That has substance not just fit tea.” Adding “that’s not to shade to people who make their money off that just not me. That’s just not what I want to promote.” Karrueche goes on to explain how she got offered spots on multiple reality shows but turned them down because that’s not what she wanted to do with her life. She decided to take up acting and she admits it wasn’t an easy journey. “It was hard, even when I started my acting career, Jesus Christ it took some time. I went on so many auditions, at one point my agency was like so you haven’t booked anything are you sure this is what you want to do? I was like fuck! This sucks, but it was a real question I had to ask myself and I had this tiny little voice in the back of my head that said don’t give up, don’t give up… So I told my manager that I’m going to stick through this. I’m going to do it. I’m going to continue to just work hard and eventually I made my way but it’s a tough journey.” After hearing she was good but just too green she finally landed Claws after doing some low budget indie films that helped lay the foundation for the success that she’s having now. Claws one of the top shows on TNT and won a couple of NAACP Image Awards. Catch new episodes Sundays on TNT.
