The brand is currently under social media heat for allegedly sending their plus size customers Atkins Diet Bars with their online plus size orders. Yikes.

This led to other Twitter users showing their plus size packages accompanied by the Atkins Bar. my mom ordered some clothes from @Forever21 ‘s plus size collection and they sent a Atkins diet bar along with the stuff she ordered pic.twitter.com/Lxi6XnuOB1 — jesse (@jessemarisaelao) July 19, 2019 While Twitter was in an uproar with people angrily tweeting to the brand about their discrimination towards their plus size customers. Personally, it was more questionable to me that the brand would partner with a diet company when they target towards younger children. While people were insinuating it was targeting towards plus size customers, it seems that it went to many of their consumers. Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

Zion Williamson Signs With Jordan Brand

Posted on July 24, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

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. Welcome to the family, @ZionWilliamson . #JUMPMAN pic.twitter.com/nSY2Eh0Fnu — Jordan (@Jumpman23) July 23, 2019

Idris Elba Says Lashana Lynch As 007 Is Amazing But The James Bonds Was Never My Role

Posted on July 23, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Idris Elba is playing the black superman in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw as Brixton Lore but for a long time, he was rumored to be the black James Bonds. Recently it was reported that Captain Marvel star: Lashana Lynch will take on the role as 007, although not James Bond, but for years people thought of Idris for black 007. So when I sat down with him I asked him about his attachment to the role as well as the great opportunity for Lashana Lynch. Idris commented, “It was never tied to me, this the crazy thing it was never tied to me, there was a big rumor, I think people wanted to put into the ether and it just ran with it. I egged it on here and there just as a joke, but it was never tied to me. I’m very excited for Lashana, that she got it. It’s amazing. I think that’s the sign of the times.” In Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw, Idris plays a genetically enhanced being named Brixton who wants to get his hand on a virus that can wipe out every weak human being and create a world of superhumans. On this week’s Episode of Extra Butter with Xilla Valentine we discuss what Idris’ superpower would be as well as his fatherhood techniques with his daughter. Be on the lookout for more interviews with the Hobbs and Shaw cast and congratulations to Lashana Lynch on becoming 007. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw is in theaters everywhere August 2nd, 2019.

Matt Barnes Wants Gloria Govan’s Child Support Lowered Because Of Dirty Mack Derek Fisher

Posted on July 23, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN Matt Barnes and Gloria Govan have been locked in an ongoing battle of wills over their long-ended marriage and child support arrangements for some time now. Now, the retired NBA player wants to have his child support payments because of the dirty mack specialist, Derek Fisher. The Blast reports : According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Barnes is trying to get to the bottom of Govan’s financial situation and claims she has been less than forthcoming about how she gets by. Barnes’ attorneys claim Govan’s last income and expense declaration stated she was not employed but received $1,250 in monthly income. Even more confusing, she lists $19,338 in monthly expenses. The attorneys argue that Govan has “failed to declare the amount [Derek Fisher] contributes to her monthly expenses.” Over a month ago, Govan claimed that Barnes owed her $40,000 in back child support payments. — Photo: WENN

Wesley Snipes Is All For Mahershala Ali For The Upcoming ‘Blade’ Reboot

Posted on July 23, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Hulton Archive / Getty When  Marvel  announced on Saturday that they were not only bringing Blade back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe but that  Mahershala Ali  would be playing the character, fans were of course hype as hell. However, they also asked a rather interesting question — what happened to Marvel working with the original Blade,  Wesley Snipes ? Well, Snipes told fans to chill and embrace Ali! “To all the DAYWALKERS losing their minds right now, chillaaxx. Although the news comes as a surprise, it’s ALL good. Such is the ‘business’ of ‘entertainment!’ Much peace to the MCU crew – always a fan,” Snipes told Comic Book . “Honor and respect to the grandmaster Stan. Congratulations and Salaam to Mahershala Ali, a beautiful and talented artist whose expressions I look forward to experiencing for many years to come. Inshallah, we will someday work together. Most importantly to my loyal fans, the incredible outpouring of love is overwhelming. I am grateful for the never-ending support. So, ‘nah fret nah worry, it’s not de end of de story.’ Welcome to the Daywalker Klique.” Blade doesn’t have a release date unlike other upcoming Marvel titles such as  Black Widow  (May 1, 2020), The Eternals  (November 6, 2020), Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings on (February 12, 2021), WandaVision (Spring 2021), Loki (Spring 2021), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (May 7, 2021), What If…? (Summer 2021), Hawkeye (Fall 2021), or Thor: Love and Thunder (November 5, 2021). But to say it’s not one of the most anticipated MCU films would be more than an understatement.

The Fix: Man Who Instigated A$AP Rocky Brawl Will Not Be Charged

Posted on July 23, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: David Wolff – Patrick / Getty Sweden’s justice system is looking funnier in the light. The man who allegedly instigated the brawl that landed A$AP Rocky in a real-life episode Locked Up Abroad will not be charged. This despite video that makes it seem like he was the aggressor, not the Harlem rapper, who played peacemaker before having to deliver a fade. Reports TMZ : Swedish prosecutors just said they believe the guy who harassed Rocky attacked his bodyguard in self-defense, after being pushed and lifted by his neck. The initial video does not show anyone getting physical with the guy, but prosecutors have drawn that conclusion. To the contrary, you hear Rocky in the first video trying to diffuse the situation, saying no one wants to go to jail. Nevertheless, prosecutors say the guy was acting in self-defense when he hurled his headphones at Rocky’s bodyguard, cutting his head. Even TMZ has clearly pointed out the jig: Here’s the bizarre part … the bodyguard has already been CLEARED by Swedish authorities. So, on the one hand the bodyguard acted appropriately, and on the other he incited the violence and caused the other guy to act in self-defense. In other words, it doesn’t make sense. Swedish officials maintain they are holding Rocky because he is a flight risk, and he has yet to be charged. Worse for Rocky, it seems like Donald Trump and the State Department’s clumsy dealings with Sweden may have made prosecutors stauncher in their intent keep the rapper locked up.
