Part of the deal includes a dedicated station as well as curated music playlists and collabs with talent. Reportedly, Drake holds the distinction of being the most-streamed artist of all time, so it only makes sense for SiriusXM and Pandora to link up with the 6 God. Drake previously hosted OVO Sound Radio on Apple Music, but there are no specifics on the exact type of programming he will be contributing to Sirius XM just yet. Sirius XM acquired Pandora in a reportedly $3.5M deal late last year, and the merger was finalized at the top of 2019. The creative partnership with Drizzy is there first major foray as one company.

We cannot say for certain whether or not Andrew Glennon has been cheating on Amber Portwood. New allegations against Glennon have surfaced in recent days, as the reality star battles his estranged girlfriend in court following her arrest for domestic violence. We can, however, say the following about Glennon: He has no regrets at the moment. This doesn’t mean Glennon is happy; quite the opposite, in fact. But he just made it clear, via a few fresh social media messages, that he can at least look in the mirror right now and feel pretty good about himself and how he’s been acting. We wonder if Portwood can say the same. “Nothing better in the world than a clean conscience,” Glennon shared yesterday on Instagram, adding as a caption “Except baby James.” He included this graphic (below) on the same day he appeared in court opposite Portwood to argue the matter of custody. As previously detailed on The Hollywood Gossip, Portwood learned during this July 25 hearing that she is no longer legally banned from seeing her 14-month old child. She must be supervised by an official at all times she’s with him, however. At least for the foreseeable future. A no-contact order also remains in place when it comes to Andrew, meaning these significant others won’t be hanging out any time soon. It doesn’t sound as if they would want to, anyway, regardless of what a judge determined. Because Portwood allegedly wielded a machete as part of an assault against Glennon back on July 5 that also included a shoe being thrown at his head? Yes. But also because Glennon may be texting a mystery woman about meeting up and possibly being intimate with each other. And also because Amber seems to think he was sleeping with someone behind her back. This would be no excuse for physically attacking Glennon, of course, but it would shed a bit of light on Amber’s mindset and motivation at the time of the incident. Just consider what Portwood posted (and then deleted) on Instagram shortly after her arrest: She later came out and said she was heartbroken , presumably about reports of Glennon texting the aforementioned female. While responding to fans on Instagram last night, Andrew said he’s “already” forgiven his longtime lover for her assault, yet also insisted they’ve found themselves in this position before. Meaning she went after him in similar fashion before? We’re not certain. “Wasn’t the first time, just the worst time,” he wrote online, leaving this statement open to interpretation. “It’s been a long road of trying to heal.” Last summer, after giving birth to James, Portwood admitted to having suffered through postpartum depression, even confessing to suicidal thoughts at the time. The Teen Mom veteran even said she thought about hanging herself one night… but that Glennon basically saved her life by realizing something was wrong and refusing to leave Amber’s side. How awful, right? Despite having been there for Portwood in major ways such as what we just described above, Glennon has still been accused by Amber stans of making up details of the attack. Some folks out there seem to think Amber is the victim here for some reason. What does Glennon have to say in response? “Yes, you are right, my plan was to destroy everything that I loved in my world, correction, my ENTIRE world,” he replied to these charges, emphasizing his sarcasm as strongly as possible. And when some followers advised against airing his dirty laundry in public, Andrew had the following to say: “I’m not shading anyone at all. Would you disagree with what I wrote? I’m sure Amber’s conscience is perfectly clean. Don’t read into it too much, I just don’t like being called a cheater when I’m not. “If I cheated you wouldn’t hear a peep from me, but I’m just not that species of animal so… conscience clean.” View Slideshow: Andrew Glennon Responds to Amber Portwood: Enjoy Your Pity Party, Loser!
Source: Sheri Determan/WENN.com / WENN Fans raved about Cynthia Erivo’s portrayal of Harriet Tubman when the trailer for the upcoming film hit the web a few days ago, but some critics are bashing the casting decision, since Erivo is of British descent. Tubman was born into slavery in America and an abolitionist, so detractors feel her deeply entrenched African-American heritage should be helmed by an African American woman. One Twitter user wrote, “ #CynthiaErivo should have never been given the role of #HarrietTubman .She disrespected #ADOS Lineage/Culture/History- #AmericanHistory .Disgusting,someone who hates us get play us” #CynthiaErivo should have never been given the role of #HarrietTubman .She disrespected #ADOS Lineage/Culture/History- #AmericanHistory .Disgusting,someone who hates us get play us. #Harriet #LineageMatters – #HarrietDeservesBetter #BoycottHarriet https://t.co/7OmLc98sYN #HarrietFilm — Glen Lucien (@glenthecreator) July 23, 2019 Yea not going to see this she’s not African American she doesn’t understand black & she makes fun American Black women…. my is black & American this movie means something to us … she’s trash #BoycottHarriet pic.twitter.com/BZUH7fAIzc — Trig Lyon (@Treslyon) July 24, 2019 One social media user went as far as screenshotting some of Cynthia’s tweets from 2013, where she referred to African-American vernacular as a “ghetto American accent.” While the backlash has resurfaced after the release of the trailer, Erivo expressed in 2017 that she anticipated the rage when it was announced that she had snagged the role. She wrote on Instagram at the time: “I struggled a little with whether or not to post anything about this role, because even though there is so much celebration and encouragement coming through, there’s also anger and offense spurred on by my being from the UK…..I guess there is a bigger conversation to be had about heritage and experience, also about who Harriet really was. That can not be had in an Instagram post, what I will say is that my journey to this woman has been long and detailed and one I have not taken lightly. ” Continuing, “Nothing has been given to me without me first putting the work in, people speak of foreign privilege and truthfully life would be unbelievably easy if that were applied to me but that is not my portion. I fought for the role of Celie, and spilled blood sweat and tears playing her, the same applies for every role I’ve earned, this will be no different.” Even though #BoycottHarriett is spreading, the real feedback will come when the box office numbers roll in when the film hits theaters.

Source: Mint Images / Getty The efforts of a Pennsylvania businessman were denied after he reportedly offered to pay off $22,467 of a school district’s lunch debt in order to thwart the reported plans of administrators who threatened to place students in foster care over the unpaid debts. Two weeks ago, a widely circulated letter sent to parents from the Wyoming Valley West school district disturbingly laid out a plan of action for parents with unpaid lunch debts. Text “RICKEY”to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). “Your child has been sent to school every day without money and without a breakfast and/or lunch,” the July 9 letter states. “This is a failure to provide your child with proper nutrition and you can be sent to Dependency Court for neglecting your child’s right to food.” “If you are taken to Dependency court, the result may be your child being removed from your home and placed in foster care,” the letter continues. “Please remit payment as soon as possible to avoid being reported to the proper authorities.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

Michael stated that he received a firm “no” from the school’s school board president Joseph Mazur. “On Monday, we talked to School Board President Joseph Mazur to determine the best way to transfer the funds in order to wipe the slate clean and restore dignity to the 1,000 families who received these threatening letters,” Carmichael wrote. SEE ALSO: Apple Unveils Updated MacBook Air & MacBook Pro For Back-To-School Season “Shockingly, Mr. Mazur turned us down. I can’t explain or justify his actions. Let me be clear: we offered over $22,000 with no strings attached. And he said ‘No,’” Carmichael continued. “Mr. Mazur, I am offering to pay this debt in full. By saying no, you are not just shaming families who elected you, but you are placing this burden on WVW taxpayers, and that is completely unfair,” he added. Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey called the school district’s actions “callous” on Twitter and urged administrators to cease the threats of foster care. Moving forward, the School District has an obligation to find an appropriate way to collect these funds, instead of using threats — Senator Bob Casey (@SenBobCasey) July 19, 2019 The situation is shockingly similar to a story we reported on in May, where a school in Rhode Island served peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to students with unpaid balances and denied the efforts of a local businesswoman who wanted to help pay off a fraction of the debt. Low-income students have again become collateral in the fight for who gets to eat and who is objectified for doing so. In the Wyoming Valley West School District, 64% of the students live below the poverty line, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. This story was originally posted on madamenoire.com .

First he got caught cappin’ on Instagram, thus the infamous Bow Wow challenge was born. He’s always beefing with one of his exes, or bringing them up years after they were together. Last year, ish got so real for Shad Moss that he and ex girlfriend Kiyomi Leslie got into an altercation that was so intense, the skin on his face was scratched off. Yikes! And last week, he got roasted on the Internet again for calling Ciara the B-word and bragging about the fact that he “had” before anyone else.

I don’t travel in the right circles, so I have never seen the opiate epidemic first hand in America, even though I know it’s a thing, cuz opiates are so good… But I have seen a bunch of heroin addict opiate celebrities have overdoses the last few years, and Demi Lovato’s was probably the most hyped…even though she didn’t die from it. The world came forward with the “Get Well Soon” without the ” YOU Rich as fuck entitled brat with everything to live for”….or the “you’re just a coddled baby and not an actual addict”….with no “we have no sympathy for you fuck, there are real addicts out there on the streets with addiction”….no one got time for this idiot’s nonsense cry for attention The thing that offended me the most besides the sympathy as she sent herself to million dollar rehab she didn’t even notice cutting the check to cuz she has so much money…is that none of her brand partners dropped her. In the real world, opiate addiction gets you fired, you end up on the street, doing fucked up things for a hit.. While this bitch in her mansion is out there trying to steal the sympathy from the people who need it. I don’t know if this self involved pig has done any outreach to other addicts or done anything good with herself, she seems more like a “poor me” victim type. I do know it’s been a year since her overdose and the overdose is the most interesting thing she’s ever done career wise…everything else is vanilla bullshit, that is manipulative marketing tactics full of insincere shit….the overdose was the one legit thing she did. The real issue is that after the overdose – how many kids hoped on the opiate train in a “if Demi does heroin, I should too”….cuz they buy her shitty merch, tickets to her shit show, a fucking opiate seems like a logical thing to get into. So thanks for taking opiates to the Disney Generation. Good job. Idol. Here she is celebrating last night.. JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!
