Source: Al Pereira / Getty We may have found the biggest Tupac fan in the Midwest. And no, it’s not who you think it is. The Associated Press reports that 66-year-old Jerry Foxhoven , formerly Iowa’s Department of Human Services Director, was let go from his job after sending a Tupac-referencing email to all 4,300 of the agency’s employees. Now, other folks had complained about Foxhoven’s Tupac themed emails before and according to company documents, Foxhoven released about 350 pages worth of emails with the words “Tupac” or “2Pac” sent to and from him during his two years at the Department. Want your mind blown? This, is Jerry Foxhoven. He would host “Tupac Fridays” parties in the office, traded lyrics with employees and marked his own 65th birthday with a Shakur-themed party, complete with “Thug Life” decorated on the cookies. All in all, Foxhoven seemed to be inspired by the “So Many Tears” rapper, telling colleagues that he was inspired by lyrics that included: “it’s time for us as a people to start makin’ some changes.” Foxhoven’s final email told his co-workers to celebrate Father’s Day and Tupac’s birthday (June 16th) by listening to tracks like “Changes” and “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” among others. The next day, Iowa governor Kim Reynolds told him to resign. Yeah, all because HE didn’t forget about Pac, even if some employees didn’t care for the slain rapper. But, nobody knows for certain why Foxhoven was let go from his position. And according to Iowa law, state agencies are required to release the “documented reasons and rationale” when employees resign instead of being terminated. “As the governor has said, a lot of factors contributed to the resignation of Jerry Foxhoven and now Gov. Reynolds is looking forward to taking DHS in a new direction,” spokesman Pat Garrett said.

Elsa Hosk and Emily DiDonato … I always hype up Elsa Hosk for being the hottest of the VS models, despite being 28 or 29….but today, she looks like shit, she looks old and haggard and I guess you just can’t trick aging, even if you use Kardashian face filler techniques…there comes a time when you’re just that old chick trying to be young… I always cut down DiDonato for being a set of big tits that were used well in her early career, but that have since been retired, which by default makes DiDonato retired, cuz the only thing about her is her tits and she needs to stop mistreating them by not using them….and I stand by that.. I think together, in a shoot, posing as a team would back out better, or is it play out better if there was more tit on tit nudity, they have both been naked a lot, it seems that this just showcases how lazy and comfortable they are in their careers that I am sure are at a point that is beyond their wildest dreams…but they could do more, they could do better and this right here is disappointing.

Queen Bey released the visuals for The Lion King: The Gift ‘ s album’s first single “Spirit” and it’s definitely epic. The video was filmed at the Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon, and styled by celebrity stylist Zerina Akers. In the clip, Bey flips outfits several times and her daughter, Blue Ivy, makes an adorable cameo in a sweeping shot. The single was released last week to plenty of fanfare on Twitter, and one can imagine that same energy will be present as the video makes the rounds. Check out “Spirit” below. — Photo: YouTube
Source: Nagina Lane / iONEDigital Mya has given us female anthems like Best Of Me, Case Of The Ex and My Love Is Like Wo but the 39-year-old songstress and dancer admits, she spent more time focusing on her career than building friendships with other women. After dropping nine independent projects, Mya is ready to let her hair down and enjoy the fruits of her labor alongside Lil Kim, Chilli, B Simone and Pretty Vee as they embark on the girls trip of a lifetime when they set sail on a luxury yacht in the Caribbean. And when we say luxury, we mean Kim, who put the trip together, puts the luxe in LUXURY. “You have to take your shoes off before you walk on the boat,” Mya explained. “You have to walk around with slippers or bare foot because it’s just that immaculate and expensive. Nothing average is present on the boat. The staff is amazing and available 24 hours. Whatever dietary restrictions, they are there to accommodate your every need. It’s a spoiled situation. Kim does everything over-the-top. There’s nothing basic about this. It’s just fabulous. We’re all in awe.” Girls Cruise aired Monday night on VH1 and gave us a glimpse at Mya’s laid back personality. But it’s clear she knows how to have a good time. “I haven’t really been on a platform to showcase who I am as a person and then amongst other women with differences and adversity. I think it’s the whole package of who Mya is in different scenarios. There’s adventure, there’s guys, there’s eye candy, there’s a lot of things in the Caribbean. There are a lot of dynamics that happen on the cruise with disagreements and differences and how we handle them as women. I think the audience is going to take a lot from that.” Mya gained several new girlfriend’s while on the 10-day trip including comediennes Pretty Vee and B Simone, who she called the second most fabulous on the trip. “As an entertainer, I was entertained, I got some abs laughing so hard. They are on all the time.” “I’m glad I did it because I have new friendships and bonds with other women, which is something I feel like I lacked in this business for years because you just go, go and go.” Catch Girls Cruise every Monday on VH1 RELATED STORIES: Mya Admits To Sexting, But Doesn’t Send Nudes LET’S MAKEUP: Mya Shares What’s In Her Bag
Source: Complex / Complex Since its inception three-years ago, Complex Network’s annual ComplexCon has become a leading celebration of our culture and our community. Spearheaded in Long Beach, California, ComplexCon is Complex’s “world fair of youth culture” and is known for bringing thousands of sneaker heads, change makers, community leaders, artists, fashion gurus, entertainers and celebrities together for two-days of music, art, discussion, entertainment and culture. Now, the annual festival is making its way across the country for the first time ever and introducing the Windy City (and the nation) to ComplexCon Chicago in what appears to be the network’s biggest event yet. Executive Producer Isis Arias Clermont promises that the inaugural ComplexCon Chicago will be unlike any other. “It’s different than traditional festivals that are more focused on music and art,” Clermont explained. “It’s really bringing the ‘URL to IRL’. The experience includes retail and shopping opportunities with cool brands, music performances (which are the energetic part of the show) and Complex Current which is a format of our panels and fireside chats with talent that speak to different topics that our audience is interested in.” One of the ways Chicago will differ from Long Beach is through the introduction of the first ever ComplexCon Community Week which is a weeklong series of community driven events meant to provide resources to cities (like Chicago) that birthed Complex Culture. Led by Complex’s Director of Community Outreach, Nicole Russell , ComplexCon Community Week will kick off on Monday, July 15th and conclude on Friday, July 19 th , right before ComplexCon officially begins. “It was really important to use this platform to inspire the people watching us to do more for the community – not just in the spaces where ComplexCon will be hosted but in their own,” Russell said. “We’re really trying to make sure we’re bringing awareness to different organizations but also showing everyone that’s tuning in how they can get involved and stand up for the causes that matter to them.” ComplexCon Community Week will consist of a variety of events such as a Soup Kitchen Takeover in partnership with Jaden Smith, a STREETWEAR.EDU panel discussion hosted by Trinidad James and a small Chicago-style block party for A Night Out Against Gun Violence, an event that Russell believes will help shine a light on some of the initiatives that the Chicago based Save Money, Save Life Foundation already supports. “It’s really just about bringing awareness to the people that are here [in Chicago] and showing them how they can show up and support one another,” Russell explained. “I think when you’re looking at the news and you’re seeing all of these things happening, all these challenges in your own community, everyone wants to know how they can help and what can they do. Not everyone has those tools to just fix, or not everyone knows what to do to inspire the change. We wanted to use this platform at Community Week to provide that information.” As Community Week kicks off and ComplexCon Chicago grows closer, Clermont and Russell appear to be tackling everything with ease. These ladies are leading the charge on one of the biggest events for our culture in a male dominated industry– and are killing it. “I think this has been an incredible opportunity,” Clermont said. “Everything comes with its own challenges and I think for us to be in the positions that we’re in, have the ability to have a voice in the room and really help lead these things has been great.” In spite of the challenges that come with pulling off any successful event, the ladies both agree that working with such an amazing female-led ComplexCon team has been quite rewarding and inspiring. “It’s really cool to be on such a dynamic team of fearless women,” Russell said. “There’s a lot of pressure, especially in a new role where were creative something for the very first time, but there’s support here. And its support coming from other women, which is great. So, it makes my job easier.” With three successful ComplexCons already in the books, introducing the annual culture staple to the city of Chicago is right on time, as Clermont believes that Chicago’s culture is exactly what embodies the Complex brand. “We definitely feel that Chicago is a city that’s culturally important to us. They have a strong audience that is interested in the things that we’re putting together such as hip-hop, streetwear and sneaker culture.” Clermont also assured us that Chi-Town is definitely in for a treat this weekend as the ComplexCon Chicago team has a ton of surprises up their sleeves for the first ever event. “We’ve got a lot of surprises on the ground,” Clermont said. “It’s one of those things that you just have to be there for. You never know who you’ll run into on the floor.” For more on ComplexCon Community Week and ComplexCon Chicago, visit: https://www.complexcon.com/
