Madonna Prince Billboard Petition Welp! Some Prince fans are demanding that Madonna share her Prince tribute at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards. They’ve started a petition on Change.org that reads, “We cannot let Madonna be the main and only artist tributing Prince during the 2016 Billboard Awards. He is more than worthy of a better choice as a main performer. Please sign and share this petition so that we can get a proper tribute on May 22, 2016. Timing is tight! Spread the word.” One petition supporter suggests Lenny Kravitz, Mint Condition, Sheila E. or Chaka Khan be part of the planned tribute. Madonna worked with Prince for her 1989 album Like A Prayer, performing the duet “Love Song.” Prince also played rhythm on the title track. Do you think Billboard should’ve went in another direction?

Black Barber Gives Free Haircuts To Kids Who Do Read To Him An Iowa barber is giving back to the community in a big way. Via Vibe Mag : Courtney Holmes gave out free haircuts to local kids if they read to him as part of the community’s Back-to-School Bash in Comiskey Park, the Desmoines Register reports. Children sat in the chair and read as Holmes clipped away and got them fresh for the new year, a form of currency the barber was in full support of. Tayshawn Kirby, 9, read from Carol Parenzan Smalley’s book “Fats, Oils and Sweets,” and informed Holmes the average person eats about 150 pounds of sugar each year, and when children had a hard time pronouncing certain words, Holmes pitched in and helped them sound the words out. “I just want to support kids reading,” Holmes said. St. Mark Youth Enrichment, a 25-year-old organization dedicated to homework help, literacy, and creativity, donated some of the books during the event. Great way of getting young men ready for back to school time!
