Something as simple as eye browns makes a big difference on your face and if you’ve struggled with scare hair there, you understand why Meagan Good opted for a brow transplant. Following a 90s trend, The Intruder actress began plucking her eyebrows until they eventually stopped growing back. Good then tried tattooing, which worked for a while. But after years of the tattoo method, she noticed over time the lines began to spread. “The lines weren’t as defined,” she revealed. Always seeking the latest eyebrow innovation, she tried microblading. “That was fine too, but as I got older I realized that my face looked a little harsher and more tired when I had them that way.” Leading her to Dr. Champagne, a hair restoration surgeon, who transformed her one tattooed brows into the brows she rocks today. View this post on Instagram My eyebrows are finally coming along after my #EyebrowTransplant ! This has been such an eyebrow evolution journey lol, but finally starting to come full circle Eyebrows like a real little girl . No, but seriously after destroying my eyebrows at age 19, I'm over the moon with these results thus far. Special thanks to my guy, eyebrow specialist @DrJasonChampagne . And thank you to @DrJasonDiamond #Salute ! A post shared by @ meagangood on Apr 17, 2018 at 2:57am PDT Good found out about the procedure through Amber Rose. “I actually saw Amber Rose had got a transplant,” she revealed. “So I researched the doctor. I went and met with him, saw a bunch of before and after pictures I was like, ‘this is life.’” Explaining how it works, she said, “They take out like a small portion of the back of your hair, sew it back up. And then they take that little portion of hair, and it’s kinda like when men are losing their hair, it’s the same thing, put in your brows. But this guy, Dr Champagne is amazing because he specializes in brow shape for your face.” Despite its bloody appearance, Good says it wasn’t painful. “I was like sitting in the surgery and I was like, ‘Let me see what that looks like.’ But he was like, ‘No, I don’t think you should see with it open.’ I was like, ‘Just let me see. And he let me see and and I was like, ‘Oh, this is crazy. This is really cool.” Meagan has seemingly become the brow spokesperson for Dr. Champagne. In an interview with our sister site MadameNoire, Good opened up about her role in The Intruder and being celibate until marrying her husband Devon Franklin.

Kenya Moore really might be back on season 12 and she’s speaking yet again on the rumors. As previously reported Kenya was the catalyst for a Cynthia Bailey and NeNe Leakes’ blow up because NeNe couldn’t believe Cynthia “invited” Kenya without giving her a heads up. Now the peach chaos causer is speaking with Streetz 94.5’s Jazzy McBee on her possible return, NeNe’s nastiness and her new family. On NeNe: “You can come in in peace like I did in the last episode, I came to support Cynthia at her launch party. I was cordial with everyone, I didn’t come to be combative and start drama but yet look at the fallout that ensued. I knew I didn’t do anything wrong, I came to support my friend. That’s their issue, not mine.” On turning down RHOA season 11: “I wasn’t fired. How you gonna get fired if you have an offer on the table? Never. […] It was several reasons, things did not come together for me the way they should. I didn’t want to jeopardize my pregnancy, I was really high risk. Every time I went to the doctor it was like you’re biting your nails.” On returning to season 12: “That hasn’t been confirmed, as of now, that’s just a rumor.” On Phaedra Parks: “I don’t even wanna talk about ghosts, in my opinion, she’s been long gone.” On her husband Marc Daly: “46 years of frogs, I’m not saying I never had any good people in my life I just wasn’t ready at the time. Love takes timing, you have to be ready for that. I think that was always my issue. I met great guys in the beginning of my life and I said ‘Oh I could do better, Oh I’m not ready’ then it’s like, Wait a minute, where are the good guys?! Where are the nice guys?!’ So when I met my husband I wasn’t ready when I met him. I took 6 months to work on myself, be alone. […] When I felt in a good place I picked up the phone and called Chef Roble [who introduced them].” Watch Kenya Moore on Streetz 94.5 below.

Source: izusek / Getty Some Passengers Get Slammed For Grabbing Luggage During Russian Plane Tragedy That Killed 41 People More info is surfacing about the Russian airplane tragedy on Sunday that claimed the lives of 41 people, and things are not looking pretty. According to USA Today , many witnesses report that some passengers went after their luggage when the Aeroflot flight burst into flames during a crash landing. The Association of Flight Attendants warned against saving carry-on luggage in the midst of an emergency evacuation. In a statement about the Aeroflot disaster, they explained: “Reports from people on the plane indicate the evacuation may have been slowed by passengers grabbing their bags. Videos show passengers taking their carry-on bags with them as they exited the plane. We will never know if more lives could have been saved if the bags were left behind.” AFA went on to honor flight attendant Maxim Moiseyev who died in the line of duty trying to save passengers on the Aeroflot flight. A plane map of those who perished during the crisis started circling around the Internet, sparking further outrage for anyone who tried to grab their luggage during evacuation. The people in red are those who died. This photo represents where people were seated that perished on the Aeroflot crash last week. Its an open investigation but if luggage retrieval proved a causal factor in survival factors its time to punish all who carry luggage off when evacuating. No excuses! pic.twitter.com/9wQaujzC4m — Steve Jangelis (@StevieJsez) May 8, 2019 According to ABC , Mikhail Savchenko was on board when the Aeroflot plane burst into flames, and he posted a clip from the ground, showing people running from the burning wreck with what looked like luggage in their hands. “I do not know what to say about people who ran out with bags,” Savchenko wrote on Facebook in a translated post. “God is their judge.” The issue of carry-on luggage being a safety hazard isn’t new either. Checked baggage fees have resulted in more carry-ons that clog cabins. Past plane evacuations have also revealed passengers fleeing with luggage in Shanghai, San Francisco, Las Vegas, New York and Dubai, according to USA Today. The Federal Aviation Administration clearly states , “In the unlikely event that you need to evacuate, leave your bags and personal items behind. Your luggage is not worth your life.” The U.S. airline crew members are trained to evacuate a commercial flight within 90 seconds, and every bit of those seconds are impactful. With people not following directions and safety procedures, it’s now possible warning and safety briefings might be enhanced. Others have also suggested automatic locking devices on overhead bins, although experts warn against the unintended consequences of keeping safety equipment locked up or isolating fires inside the bins. Whatever the solution may be, clearly there’s a need. No more lives can be lost because of an electronic device, luggage, wallet or anything else blocking a safe evacuation.
