Black ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Contestant Loses A Million Dollars Stupidly Via Gawker reports: A Wheel of Fortune contestant named Julian recently lost his chance at winning one million dollars, a car, and trips to London and Jamaica.

Michelle gives everyone the ho sit down! Michelle Says She Doesn’t Understand Beyonce Friendship Obsession Michelle Williams will always be the Black jelly bean of Destiny’s Child who folks absolutely LOVE to slander because, well, why NOT? The singer recently talked to TIME Magazine and discussed her frustration with fan’s constant fascination with Beyonce and her Destiny’s Step-Child sisters… “It seems to be a mystery, or a wonder, like, if we’re still friends or something. And I always wonder, what is the fascination? This is a genuine question. “Well, I’m so sorry to report—breaking news! We have very boring lives as far as that’s concerned. And once again, to even play off the Playtex campaign, to show togetherness and unity, you don’t have to be catty, you don’t have to be mean, you can support one another. “I’m just curious, like, we [Destiny’s Child] haven’t had an album out in 10 years. I’m just still wondering the fascination. And I’m not being mean or smart. That is a real question. Like, really?” #PoorMichelle

We’ve had hearings and the kids have told us that they need jobs year-round.” Chicago rap artist and activist Che “Rhymefest” Smith, co-founder of Donda’s House, says that all the kids of Chicago need are opportunities. “If kids have opportunities to make good money legally, it might dissuade them from turning to crime,” says the rapper affectionately known as ‘fest. “Our generation [African Americans in their late twenties and thirties] always talk about how the previous generation failed us and now it’s our turn to succeed for our youth. This collaboration isn’t about Kanye West, Common, Lupe Fiasco, or anyone. It’s about necessity.” The jobs initiative’s goal is create 20,000 jobs for the city’s youth. In regards to the AAHH! Fest, no information about the show’s line up has been released. For more information on the jobs initiative or the AAHH! Fest, please log onto commongroundfoundation.org.
