For Your Information: Missouri’s Last Functioning Abortion Clinic Could Close For Good Friday Says Planned Parenthood

Posted on May 28, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Michael B. Thomas / Getty Missouri’s Last Abortion Clinic Could Close This Week This is very, very bad . A CBSNews report states that Missouri may have effectively ended abortion in the state come this Friday if Planned Parenthood is not granted a license renewal. May 31 is the expiration date and after that time there will not be an abortion facility in the entire state. Missouri will become the first state without such services since Roe v. Wade was decided back in 1973. In a last-ditch effort, Planned Parenthood had filed a lawsuit and restraining order against the state. A judge will hear their argument Wednesday morning. Planned Parenthood said it plans to sue the state “in order to try to keep serving Missouri women.” “This is not a drill. This is not a warning. This is a real public health crisis,” said Dr. Leana Wen, president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Just to give some context as to how fast things have gone left in Missouri, back in 2008, the state had five clinics. Yeah.

Will You Be Watching? Jazz & Jake Smollett Talk Redecorating Millennials’ Spaces In New Show “Living By Design”

Posted on May 27, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Courtesy of CLEO TV / Courtesy of CLEO TV “Living By Design With Jake And Jazz” Is A New Interior Design Show For Millennials Siblings Jake and Jazz Smollett have teamed up to transform the homes of millennials for their new show “Living By Design With Jake And Jazz.” The new show on network CLEO TV pairs the siblings with mostly millennial women of color who are in need of a style revamp in their homes. The Smolletts’ tap into their shared interest in interior design and cooking on the show, first redesigning the subject’s space and then making a meal with them. “‘Living By Design’ has been such a fun project to work on,” Jazz said. “ It encompasses design and food, which is both of our passions…It’s not a cookie cutter redesign of their space. It’s functional and cute at the same time.” The Smolletts, whose handlers told us they did not want to discuss their brother, Jussie being accused of staging a hate crime attack, insisted that you can design your home beautifully without spending a lot of money. “You don’t have to break the bank to reflect you and make it feel like home,” Jazz said. “We do a lot of online thrifting. You can find stuff that you can repurpose.” Jake said that small tweaks like shifting furniture around and putting money towards bigger pieces can go a long way towards creating a chic interior design. “You can always refurbish a place for next to nothing if you are willing to go get a can of paint and an extra knob,” he said. “Living By Design With Jake And Jazz” airs on CLEO TV.

Shannade Clermont Recalls Her Fateful ‘Sugar Daddy’ Date,Hopes She’ll Come Out Of Jail ‘Strong Like Martha Stewart’

Posted on May 26, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Shannade Clermont Speaks Out Before Beginning Jail Sentence Shannade Clermont’s accepted her fate and she’s speaking out. The model who’s set to serve a year-long sentence for racking up charges on a dead man’s debit card , sat down with The New York Post’s Page Six for an interview on several things, including what really went down the night that man, James Alesi, died. According to Shannade, Alesi, a 42-year-old real-estate broker, was her “sugar daddy” and she had no idea he was in dire straights when she took his card and left a hotel where they had a rendezvous that prosecutors called a “$400 prostitution date.” “He wasn’t asleep when I left — he was just drunk,” an emotional Shannade told The Post. “I have never been around people who have been on heavy drugs, so I didn’t really know. “It was like, ‘Oh, he was a drunk mess.’ I was annoyed . . . [I thought] he was playing games. So I just left.” Alesi was more than just drunk, he was overdosing and later died from cocaine mixed with fentanyl. Shannade admitted that she took Alesi’s card and used it (obviously) without permission and splurged on a $20,000 shopping spree, rent, flight purchases, and Valentino shoes. She also admitted that when she found out that Alesi died, she STILL used the card. “From the outside looking in, it looks like I knew he was dead and was like ‘haha’ . . . and that’s really sick,” said Shannade. Shannon, also at The Post’s interview, defended her sister, saying it’s “sick” anyone could think that Shannade knew Alesi was dead or dying and that she didn’t call 911. View this post on Instagram YAWA NO GO DEY Getting body Miami ready with this 7 day detox @ultimatebodytox #clermonttwins A post shared by Shannon and Shannade Clermont (@clermonttwins) on May 7, 2019 at 9:21pm PDT She also defiantly denied leading Alesi down a “wrong path.” “The thing was, he was known as a sugar daddy — very known,” Shannade said. “He’s not, like, an innocent person.” Later she admitted that she never had strong feelings for him. […] “I mean, I didn’t love him; I liked him,” Shannade said. “[He] was just someone who took care of me.” Oh, girl….. There’s much more to this story including Shannade namedropping her buddy Kim Kardashian and shamelessly comparing herself to other incarcerated celebs. Hit the flip for that.

Suge: DaBaby Beats The Pants Off A Fan Foolishly Following Him Around The Louis Vuitton Store

Posted on May 26, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Dave Pedley / Getty DaBaby Cam Coldheart Fight Video Someone thought it’d be a good idea to troll DaBaby in a local mall, and that same someone was left pantsless and embarrassed. A rapper named Cam Coldheart took to IG to post a video of himself trolling the Charlotte rapper and following him around inside a Louis Vuitton store. “You a b****,” Cam can be heard saying in the video. “Y’all look at the n**** DaBaby. That n**** DaBaby in here talking some s***.” “He walking up on me and s*** like he about to do something. What you gon’ do? What you taking your s*** off for?” Cam apparently previously claimed that DaBaby was falsely repping Charlotte when he’s “really from Ohio” , so when he saw him out and about, he seized an opportunity. Unfortunately for Cam, DaBaby also seized the opportunity and Cam was left in a crumpled, bloody heap after the altercation. The rival rapper’s pants were also left around his ankles. “When bullying Baby on the internet goes wrong,” DaBaby captioned the vid. View this post on Instagram When bullying Baby on the internet goes wrong A post shared by BABY JESUS (@dababy) on May 25, 2019 at 5:41pm PDT SMH. Cam Coldheart is adamant however that Da Baby didn’t fight him one-on-one ad says he was jumped by DaBaby’s security. View this post on Instagram Caught me slippin dolo. Silver back from the slums this ain’t shit. Mfs bounce back from mfs jumpin em everyday. No statements made cam back for my belt told 12 I ain’t wanna talk. I got up walked to the car and made a post. Yea I’m hurt as hell Once again go to Loui in South Park and ask this security in Loui how many ppl jumped me when they rushed me dolo. He got his security wit em dressed like regular dude wit a legal strap @dababy keep it g u jumped me wit ya security and left me pretty, other than some scratches A post shared by Cam Coldheart (@camcoldheart) on May 25, 2019 at 7:29pm PDT Suuuuuure. If Cam was jumped, this is the second time in recent weeks that DaBaby’s security has been accused of being violent. They were previously seen on video beating up an “overzealous” fan, and that man is reportedly in a coma. We don’t condone violence, but everyone knows DaBaby will defend himself. Remember when he killed a man in Walmart who was trying to rob him? Leave that man alone, y’all. See more of the DaBaby VS Cam Coldheart fallout on the flip.

SMH: Houston Rapper Sosamann Arrested On Human Trafficking Charges

Posted on May 26, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Bennett Raglin / Getty Rapper Sosamann Arrested Following Prostitution Sting Sosamann, a rapper from Houston , has been charged with human trafficking. According to reports from TMZ , he was arrested this month following a prostitution sting in Los Angeles. Two women reportedly told authorities that Sosamann, along with others, had lured them to the West Coast with promises of the high life–but upon their arrival, they were forced into sell their bodies for sex and had no way to escape. The Taylor Gang affiliate, whose legal name is Anthony Denson, was reportedly taken into custody and charged with a felony on May 11. He was released on a $100,000 bond the following day and is scheduled to go back in court on June 6. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing. As Complex points out, even though Sosamann has remained active on his various social media pages in recent weeks since the arrest, he has yet to address the charges. The Houston native signed to Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang imprint in 2016. His most recent album, Sauce Eskobar 2 , dropped earlier this year.
