Source: Steven Ferdman / Getty Travis Scott Suffers A Serious Injury During His Latest Performance Travis Scott brought the ASTROWORLD  experience to Citi Field on Saturday, performing as one of the headliners for Rolling Loud’s first time in New York. The festival was already undergoing some issues–with certain performers on the lineup catching the attention of the NYPD –but Travis found himself hurting by the end of his set. The Houston native was performing his track, “BUTTERFLY EFFECT” when he jumped up and landed wrong on his right knee.

But this show cannot stop just yet,” before continuing his performance as planned. At some point in the show, Travis put on a make-shift knee brace and went on with the rest of his performance–if you know Scott, you know how seriously he takes these concerts and giving his fans an experience to remember Of course, the comparisons to Michael Jordan’s famous flu game were all over the place. This man Travis Scott just performed with a broken leg, I can’t see the difference. pic.twitter.com/wu1JSFsj73 — showtime_lee (@lee_showtime) October 13, 2019 As of now, there’s no word on whether or not Travis actually broke his leg–but that fall did look pretty gnarly. Luckily, though, he’s got some time to recover. Right now, Scott’s next performance isn’t until November 3 in Las Vegas for Day N Vegas festival, so hopefully he’s all healed by then. If not, he’ll probably find a way to make it on stage anyway.

12-Year-Old Flint Activist Raises Over $130K For Water Filtration Systems

Read the original post:

1 2-year-old activist Amariyanna Copeny ⁠ —dubbed Little Miss Flint⁠—is furthering her efforts to address the water crisis in her city. According to Atlanta Black Star , Copeny teamed up with a water filtration company to make clean water accessible within her community. This is my water filter. My filter can bring clean safe water to communities dealing with a lead crisis (Like Flint, MI and Newark, NJ). It's powered by @Hydroviv_h2o . Every $1 donated provides the equivalent of 160 bottles of water. https://t.co/3lqcfoqzF0 pic.twitter.com/ialzGgGKXK — Mari Copeny (@LittleMissFlint) September 26, 2019 Copeny spearheaded a fundraising campaign to bring clean and safe water to Flint and other places impacted by contaminated water. The funds will go towards creating a long-term sustainable solution to the water crisis by bringing state-of-the-art water filters to underserved communities. The implementation of the water filters would give individuals the ability to have safe running water within their households instead of spending long periods of time waiting in line to get donated bottles of water. It would also curb plastic waste. Over $130,000 has been raised towards her $150,000 goal. Copeny is partnering with the company Hydroviv which designs and builds custom water filters. “Ever since April 2014 my community has been faced with a lead crisis that we’re still recovering from. My community needed water they could trust and bottled water was the only resource for drinking water that many in my community trusted,” she wrote on her GoFundMe page . “For my new donation campaign, my team has partnered with a socially-responsible water filtration company, which will allow us to maximize the impact of donated funds and eliminate the single-use plastic waste that is associated with bottled water.” Copeny has been dedicated to spreading awareness about the Flint water crisis and evoking change. Through her campaigns, she’s donated over one million bottles of water to families in need. Young activists are stepping up to address Flint’s water crisis. In March, rapper and actor Jaden Smith ’s eco-friendly natural spring water brand JUST Goods Inc. joined forces with Flint’s First Trinity Missionary Baptist Church to implement a system called “The Water Box” which can help reduce lead and other toxic chemicals in contaminated water.

Not So Fast: NYPD Demands Rolling Loud Pull Several Artist Off Lineup Ahead Of Weekend Festival

Source: StarterCAM / HotSpotAtl.com NYPD Demands Rolling Loud Pull Several Artist Off Lineup Ahead Of Weekend Festival Since it came onto the scene, Rolling Loud has quickly taken over as hip-hop’s premier festival. Headliners have ranged from Travis Scott and J Cole to Cardi B, Kid Cudi and Future . After having success in Miami, the Bay Area, and Los Angeles, the Rolling Loud crew decided to expand its festival to New York City. The new addition was announced at the top of the year and its line up was released a few months back. View this post on Instagram #NYC Police Banned #Casanova2x #22gz #DonQ And A Few Other NYC Artist From #RollingLoud… A post shared by Hip Hops Tv (@hiphopstv) on Oct 11, 2019 at 10:10pm PDT Fast forward to this weekend, the first annual New York City Rolling Loud stage is set–but the NYPD says not so fast. In a letter sent to Rolling Loud, Assistant Police Chief Martin Morales requested the festival pull several of their performers due to safety issues. The list of required removals includes NYC’s rookie of the year PopSmoke, Casanova , Sheff G, Don Q, and 22GZ. They even included their government names so there isn’t any confusion as to who needs to leave. Over the years, NYC has been notorious for having what the music industry calls the “Hip-Hop Police,” a dedicated unit that just watches rappers and their social media to harass them once they touch down in the Big Apple. This weekend, the reason for the demands from the police department are cited as a concern for safety, as the acts listed reportedly have a “history of violence”. Many cite the hip-hop police for Meek Mill’s former incident and arrest, which went down when he was driving a dirt bike in the city. After successfully taking down the Nine Trey Bloods, we wouldn’t put it past the NYPD to go for its victory lap over at Rolling Loud. Stay safe folks!

I told my friend to drive my car, hopped on the car, did my little dancing and you know, just having a good time. I’m going to put on a little show, you know. I’m in traffic anyway. Why not turn up in traffic?” According to the arrest warrant she “was unrestrained and her actions were causing other motorists to divert their attention.” The police also state that she “caused undo hazard to other motorists,” which may or may not have been the case.

Maddison Brown: Who is Liam Hemsworth’s Hot New Squeeze?

Liam Hemsworth appears to have recovered from the recent wrecking ball that smashed his marriage to bits. About two months after the actor and Miley Cyrus pulled the plug on their union, the former has been spotted out for the first time with someone new. Someone new who is a female with whom he’s likely sleeping, that is. Photos have emerged online of Hemsworth holding hands with Maddison Brown, who’s a 22-year old actress likely best known for her current role on The CW’s mediocre drama Dynasty. They were seen having a meal at Sant Ambroeus in the West Village before going on a stroll down the New York City sidewalk. Hemsworth, of course, dated Cyrus off and on for about 10 years, prior to taking observers by surprise when he tied the knot with this superstar late last year in Tennessee. They separated eight months later. Cyrus went straight from Hemsworth into the arms of Kaitlynn Carter and is now dating Cody Simpson . She and her fellow artist and openly kissing and snuggling on Instagram these days. Hemsworth, however, hasn’t said much about his failed relationship with Cyrus and likely won’t be issuing any statements about Brown any time soon, either. But we’ve learned via the Internet that Brown is an Australian transplant who stars on the aforementioned CW reboot as Kirby Anders, the daughter of the main family’s chief steward. The character returns after being sent away and framed for arson as a child. She made her debut in the second season and is set to feature in the third. Here is a photo of Brown from the show: The actress’s only other television credit came in 2016, when she portrayed the younger version of Elizabeth Debicki’s character in the Australian show The Kettering Incident. Brown’s only movie credit so far is 2015’s Strangerland, in which she played Nicole Kidman‘s daughter. She told Women’s Wear Daily of working with the Oscar winner: “I was nervous but she was so warm and lovely. Nicole is someone who wants to nurture and support young actors and it was such a relief to be able to connect with her in a real way. “I’ve heard stories about more established actors not taking too kindly to young talent, but with Nicole, it was nothing like that.” Brown also works as a model and often posts shots of her campaigns on Instagram, where she has garnered over 450,000 followers. She’s modeled for brands such as Calvin Klein, Jason Wu and Marchesa. It’s not clear whether Liam and Maddison are truly serious or merely spending naked time together. Could just be a casual fling, you know? For his part, Hemsworth has only addressed the Miley breakup on one occasion: with an Instagram post after the two had ended their marriage. He officially filed for divorce from the singer just days later. “Hi all, Just a quick note to say that Miley and I have recently separated and I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward,” Liam captioned a shot of a beach sunset this summer. We wish him the best.

Hailey Baldwin Slams Trolls For Calling Her a "Fake Christian" For Celebrating Halloween!

Hailey Baldwin is just trying to enjoy spooky season in peace, but naturally, some people have to be complete witches.  With October 31st just around the corner, Hailey Baldwin is in search of a Halloween costume and took to her Instagram Stories to ask her followers for help on what she should be this year.  “Spooky season is upon us and I need good ideas for Halloween!!! Send some my way,” the model, who is very open about her religious views, wrote to her IG.  And a few of her followers responded to her post by actually questioning her religious beliefs. “Aren’t you a christan?” one asked, to which the model responded, “Yes. I still dress up for Halloween.” “FAKE CHRISTIAN,” wrote another vicious hater . Baldwin took the chance to reply, killing the troll with kindness. “Our kids are gonna celebrate too,” she wrote with a smiley face, including her husband Justin Bieber in on their future family plan.  While some Christians refuse to participate in Halloween due to its dark imagery and the idea that evil spirits come out to haunt the living, Hailey sees the fun in the holiday, and later said she liked the idea of Harley Quinn, Catwoman, or the Bride of Chucky.  Obviously leaving the Biebs to portray the evil doll. (Ok, yes, they would totally kill that look!)  Justin and Hailey tied the knot (again) last month  in September at the Montage Palmetto Bluff hotel in South Carolina, and yes, it was a star-studded event.  154 of their closest family members and friends joined for the special occasion, including Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Katy Perry, Scooter Braun, and [Hillsong] pastor Carl Lentz.  During the reception, “Grammy-winner Daniel Caesar performed and everyone partied the night away,” a source told In Touch Weekly.  “There was a photo booth, and everyone had a blast having photos taken [with] friends.” The newlyweds shared some of their stunning wedding photos to Instagram and ok, is it hot in here, or just me?  The shots were perfectly romantic, yet very on-brand for the pop singer and his supermodel wife.  On Monday, Mrs. Bieber called the ceremony “the most special day of my life” when she shared a black and white photo of her gorgeous veil spread out on the grass with the words “till death do us part.” Since the wedding, the two have been publicly teasing their next chapter — parenthood.  Justin has been very vocal on social media about his current baby fever, and after seeing Hailey’s comment about their future kiddos celebrating Halloween, get ready because  baby news could be making headlines  at any moment.  But for now, we hope the happy couple has fa-boo-lous Halloween!  View Slideshow: Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber: Married! Again! Get All the Romantic Details!

Anna Duggar: Did She LOSE One of Her Kids in LA?!

Anna Duggar has a lot on her plate these days. Of course, as a mother of five, she pretty much always has a lot on her plate, but these days, things are especially hectic. Anna is pregnant with her sixth kid , but since child-rearing is regarded as woman’s work, she’s still expected to perform her usual slate of household duties. Currently, the Duggars are in Los Angeles visiting Jinger and her family. That sounds like the premise for a hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy, but for Anna, the situation was anything but funny when she lost one of her kids during a museum visit on Thursday. According to Radar Online, witnesses saw Anna frantically running through the halls of the Autry Museum after her 2-year-old son Mason wandered off. “Where’s Mason? Where’s Mason?” Anna was heard asking her kids and clueless husband. “You guys were supposed to be watching him! Where is he?” she further queried. One onlooker says Anna was “circling around the maze of exhibits for two minutes” before Jinger informed her from another room that she’d located the tyke. “It’s ok, Anna, I found him! He’s here with us,” Jinger was heard reporting. Witnesses say Josh was “oblivious” to the situation and only realized the extent of the emergency once Mason had been located. So you can add “being a negligent doofus” to the ever-growing list of reasons to dislike Josh. One insider tells Radar that the episode is indicative of the situation within Josh and Anna’s family. “Anna has a lot she’s dealing with and it doesn’t seem Josh has her back,” says the source. “She has to rely on other family members to watch her kids and she’s got another one on the way,” the insider adds. “I don’t know how Anna deals with it.” Yeah, we don’t either. More importantly, we don’t know why she deals with it. But for whatever reason, despite his many scandals and his general, all-around loserness, Anna is still 100 percent on board with her idiot husband. Josh and Anna celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary  last month, and Anna paid tribute to Josh in a number of heartfelt social media posts. “The joys we’ve experienced together have far surpassed the shadows of sorrow we’ve walked through,” she wrote in one. “Shadows of sorrow” sounds like a good description for much of Josh and Anna’s marriage. It also sounds like a cool name for a metal band, but that’s a conversation for another time. View Slideshow: Anna Duggar Blasts Josh Haters: We Will NEVER Get Divorced!
