L os Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been dedicated to improving the lives of youth and their families in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. Months after the one-year anniversary of the creation of his I Promise School for at-risk children, James has now announced that he will be adding transitional housing for the families of students that are facing financial hardships, CNN reported. LeBron James is adding safe housing to the school he founded in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, so students have a stable place to live while they get their education. https://t.co/g6rBgiweJH — CNN (@CNN) November 4, 2019 The LeBron James Family Foundation is teaming up with Graduate Hotels for the initiative. The company—which is known for the development of hand-crafted boutique hotels near colleges and universities throughout the country—will restore a residential building in the Highland Square community. The building—which is located minutes away from the I Promise School—is slated for completion by July 2020. James, who has utilized his platform to speak out on several social and political issues and has been a fierce advocate for the improvement of education, believes that the success of the students is dependent on having a solid foundation at home. “Initially, our work was focused on helping these kids earn an education. But we’ve found that it is impossible to help them learn if they are struggling to survive — if they are hungry, if they have no heat in the freezing winter, if they live in fear for their safety,” he told the news outlet. “We want this place to be their home where they feel safe, supported, and loved, knowing we are right there with them every step of the way as they get back on their feet.” Graduate Hotel CEO Ben Weprin is excited to team up with James and his foundation for this impactful project. “It’s humbling to see the change they are affecting on a daily basis and we’re honored to be a part of the journey,” he said. James has also been focused on fighting food insecurity. He joined forces with Walmart for a campaign to spread awareness about hunger in America and opened a pantry for underprivileged families at his I Promise School.

Jenelle Evans: Back with Nathan Griffith?!

Posted on November 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It's been a very, very busy time for Jenelle Evans these past few weeks. You know, what with filing for divorce from David Eason and all. She's left all her belongings behind to move herself and the two children she has custody of to a whole new state, she's gathered proof of David's abuse and filed a restraining order against him. All that sounds like a ton of work, even when you don't consider how taxing it all must have been emotionally for the Teen Mom 2 firebrand – whatever you think of her personally. But still, even though Jenelle's been doing all of that, she still found some time to spend with Nathan Griffith, the father of her middle child, Kaiser, and sworn enemy of David. Yes, really. Let's get into it. 1. Jenelle and Nathan Okay, so yeah, this isn’t a current picture of Jenelle and Nathan … because there aren’t many. They haven’t had the opportunity to take a photo together for the past few years because their breakup was pretty messy, and because David is the worst. 2. Gross Jenelle and David first started dating like a month after she and Nathan broke off their engagement and relationship, and it seems like David’s always been super insecure about that, to the point where Jenelle simply wasn’t allowed to speak with him. 3. Ridiculous and Terrifying We’ll never forget an early appearance of David Eason on Teen Mom 2 where he went with Jenelle to meet with Nathan to discuss custody stuff … he was so mad that he threatened to “fill this whole street with uppercut.” Yes, that happened. 4. So Immature Shortly after that, he decided that Jenelle wasn’t allowed to communicate directly with Nathan, even though she shared a small child with him. Instead, he’d be the one to deal with Nathan when it came to Kaiser. 5. Poor Kaiser And speaking of Kaiser, many fans believe that David was allegedly abusive towards him because he does look so much like his dad — more on all that in just a moment though. 6. Setting the Stage So we’ve established that David has always hated Nathan, right? Good, let’s move on to the next part of this story. View Slideshow

Jim Edmonds Moves Out, Signals Official End to His Marriage

Posted on November 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We’re very sorry to all those Jim Edmonds and Meghan King Edmonds true believers. We hate to break this to all the folks out there who thought these two would fight through their issues and find eternal happiness together. Because, SPOILER ALERT, they will not. In case this wasn’t obvious based on the recent statements made by the former Major League Baseball player and former Real Housewife of Orange County, consider the following: Jim has now moved out. On his Instagram page this weekend, Jim showed off his children playing around in his new residence — and gave a mini-tour of the home — amid his split from Meghan. Meghan and Jim are the parents of two-year-old daughter Aspen and 17-month-old twins, Hayes and Hart. The latter is also dad to Sutton and Landon Edmonds, his two older kids who he shares with his ex-wife Allison Edmonds. In one clip from his father’s social media page, Hayes looks around his new playroom in awe while big sister, Aspen, runs over to grab some toys. “Hayes doesn’t know what to do,” Jim captioned the footage. He also filmed the entire family as they gather around to look at a Jack-in-the-box toy. And in another clip, Aspen throws baseballs just like her dad in what appears to be an in-house baseball training facility. Jim, of course, filed for divorce from Meghan on October 25. This wasn’t wholly unexpected, consideirng Jim admitted to (at minimum) sexting with another woman during the couple’s five-year marriage. But the Internet then exploded with chatter that Jim had been sleeping with the family’s nanny, a 22-year old woman named Carly Wilson. The ex-outfielder strongly denied this rumor, trashing Meghan for playing any role at all in spreading it around in public. In an exclusive statement to Us weekly, Jim called the claims, “ dangerous, irresponsible and hurtful .” He also addressed the controversy in an Instagram post on October 28, writing: “It’s one thing to be accused of something. It’s another thing to be so negligent and so careless, and ruin the lives of innocent young people.” In her own blog entry later on, however, Meghan admitted that Jim and Carly probably never had sex…  but did state that she thought the two had an inappropriate relationship. “I am broken,” she added at the time . “I have endured prolific controlling by Jim and it isn’t slowing down,” the ex-Bravo star said on November 4. “ She added back then: Even when I make an unassuming post on Instagram, he hurls insults at me for a battery of made-up indiscretions. I’m sick of the abuse and I won’t engage anymore — and I don’t have to.” Just when everything appeared to have calmed down between the pair, however, Jim called the cops on Meghan just this week and accused her of being a neglient parent.

Oh Hell Nah: Woman Texts Man ‘You’re Not a Serial Killer, Right?’ Before Becoming His Alleged Second Victim

Posted on November 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Geber86 / Getty Woman Asked Her Alleged Serial Killer If He Was A Serial Killer Before Death A man in New Jersey spent his year in 2016 killing multiple women. Khalil Wheeler-Weaver has been accused of  murdering three women and attempting to murder a fourth. On Thursday,  testimonies were filled with evidence about searches on his phone for date-rape drugs, deadly poisons, and his pursuit to have sex with women, according to reports from Yahoo News . Further evidence went on to show that he used his cell phone to study how to create drugs strong enough to knock a person out, along with how to kill someone using household chemicals like bleach and ammonia. After all of these searches, he tried to find out how to erase his search history, according to testimony. But beside his alleged interest in killing, it looks like he had other aspirations for becoming a police officer, searching phrases like “Police entrance exam practice test.” While Wheeler-Weaver’s stepfather is a police detective and his uncle is a police officer, he worked at a hotel and grocery store as a security guard. The crime spree reportedly began on August 31, 2016 when 19-year-old Robin West was last seen. Her body was discovered on September 21 in an abandoned building that had been set on fire. The location on Wheeler-Weaver’s cell phone tracking places him at the house right before the fire–After he left, he drove back to watch the firefighters put it out. A second victim, 20-year-old Sarah Butler, was found in Eagle Rock Reservation on November 29, 2016. The craziest part: When Wheeler-Weaver solicited Butler for sex through a social media app, she wrote, “You’re not a serial killer, right?” After that, another victim, 33-year-old Joanne Brown was found dead at a vacant home on December 5. Though he set out to kill a fourth woman, she made it out alive. “T.T.” testified in court about her own experience, saying she woke up in the back seat of her car with duct tape on her face and was “choked back to sleep.” Eventually, she persuaded Wheeler-Weaver to take her to a motel and was then able to lock herself in a motel room. Wheeler-Weaver was apprehended on December. 6, 2016.

Are You Here For It?! Instagram Will Start To Test Hiding Likes In The United States Next Week

Posted on November 9, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Photo credit should read DENIS CHARLET/AFP/Getty Image  Instagram To Start Testing A Private Like Count Just as they’ve discussed in the past, it looks like Instagram is finally expanding its test to hide likes for those of us in the United States . During the WIRED25 event on Friday, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri announced that a select number of U.S. users would see the like counts disappear from Instagram as soon as next week. He didn’t provide any further details on the scale of the test, but simply revealed it wouldn’t be “the whole U.S. at once.” “There’s a couple of hundred people in here, so definitely a couple of you will have private likes, I hope,” Mosseri said to the crowd. “It’s about young people. The idea is to try to depressurize Instagram, make it less of a competition, give people more space to focus on connecting with people they love, things that inspire them. But it’s really focused on young people. We have to see how it affects how people feel about the platform, how it affects how they use the platform…but I’ve been spending a lot of time on this, personally.” Earlier this year, Instagram started testing private likes among Canadian users, and they’ve since expanded the test to six other countries, which includes Brazil, Italy, Australia, Ireland, and Japan. With this new format, Instagram users will still have the ability to see which users liked each of their own posts, but the like count would no longer be visible to others.  These tests ended up being launched following concerns about social media’s effect on mental health. WATCH: Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri announces that the platform will start hiding likes for US audiences starting next week. It's the latest step in Instagram’s quest to become the safest place on the internet. https://t.co/BGkMG57rdk #WIRED25 pic.twitter.com/WNTyAPVhaD — WIRED (@WIRED) November 9, 2019

Chicago Circus Clown Kanye Considering ‘Christian Genius Billionaire’ Name Change, 2024 Presidential Run

Posted on November 8, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Robin Marchant / Getty Kanye Considering “Christian Genius Billionaire” Name Change Oh bwoooooy, y’alls friend Kanye has done it again. This time the Chicagoan clown made a surprise appearance at the fifth annual Fast Company Innovation Festival in New York alongside Yeezy footwear designer Steven Smith. While there everyone’s fave Beezlebub Bozo told the packed crowd that he’s considering changing in his name in part because he felt disrespected by Forbes not recognizing his billionaire status. With that in mind, we might be getting “Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West” very soon. “Martin Luther King didn’t get killed because he had a dream; he had something else he was going to talk about,” said Yeezy, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “He talked about black empowerment, economic empowerment,” said West. “When I did Forbes, I showed them a $890 million receipt and they still didn’t say ‘billionaire’. They don’t want us to know that we can buy land; they don’t want us to have the 100 percent ownership [that] I have at Yeezy.” “When people say it’s crass to call yourself a billionaire, I say I might legally change my name to ‘Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West’ for a year until y’all understand exactly what it is… It will be on the license plate.” SMH. He also told the room that he’s mulling over a 2024 Presidential run—a comment that sparked raucous laughter in his face. “When I run for President in 2024,” said Kanye as laughter ensued in the back. “What y’all laughing at? We would create so many jobs! I’m not going to run, I’m going to walk. When you see headlines saying Kanye’s crazy — one in three African Americans are in jail and all the celebrities are in jail also because they can’t say nothing, they got no opinion, they’re so scared!” Kimmy Cakes was also in the audience to witness her husband’s latest antics, watch (Christian Genius Billionaire) Kanye below.

Rapper Tory Lanez Gave Tyga Unlimited Features To Help Him Regrow His Hairline

Posted on November 8, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Here is the original post:

Source: Tim Mosenfelder / Getty Rapper Tory Lanez isn’t playing around with his hairline ladies. The topic came up during a recent interview with HipHopDX’s Buzy Baker, the 27-year-old Canadian shared that he struggled with hair loss at an early age. “If you look back at my old pictures, my only issue was [that] my corners were back here. I fixed my corners and I let the rest of my hair grow in,” the Grammy nominee said, adding, “I’m coming back with the braids. I’m coming back crazy on y’all. Y’all think it’s a joke.” So, what did he do? Went to another brotha who he knew suffered from the same problem, but had the answer: Tyga. But getting that knowledge came with a price. “When I met Tyga and I was like yo, I’ll give you unlimited features for the rest of your life,” said the Grammy-nominated artist. “He has an unlimited feature pass for giving up the secret.” Listen….that’s a huge discount given that Troy charges $75K to be on someone’s track. Apparently, at the time, Tyga had kept this “cure” to hair loss a secret, but last year he shared his secret after getting caught up in some drama between exes Nicki Minaj and Safaree. The .
