According to CBS-Chicago reporter Brad Edwards, police confirm that they got multiple calls on Sunday from Valencia P. Love saying they had received a bomb threat. Apparently, everyone was evacuated from the South Side facility, however a local bomb squad did not find any explosives. Police are still investigating these threats. ONLY HERE: Saturday, multiple people called in a bomb threat to a daycare near W. 79th & Kedzie. The business is connected to the woman who posted R. Kelly’s $100k bond. PER CPD – “No offender in custody. Bomb and arson cleared the scene. Area Central investigating.” @cbschicago pic.twitter.com/80AHAAGmv8 — Brad Edwards (@tvbrad) March 3, 2019 While Love, 47, is currently listed as a “registered agent” with the daycare under the Illinois Secretary of State, daycare personnel, as well as the Department of Children and Family Services, say Love no longer works at the daycare anymore, TMZ noted . This is the woman who bailed @rkelly out of jail. She owns @LoveOnTheBlu in Blue Island and Lord and Child Daycare in Chicago. Her name is Valencia Love. SHUT HER DOWN. pic.twitter.com/4ZobPfYpDk — kiki bryant (@uppitykiki) February 26, 2019 Apparently, she lost her job after news of Love went viral last week, linking her to the daycare center. Love posted Kelly’s bail last week, telling Chicago reporter Tia Ewing , that she does not believe the singer, who she has only known for a few months, is not a monster. “He’s my friend and I knew he needed help,” she told Ewing. “There are three sides to every story, his side, there’s [the alleged victims], and the truth.” Love confirmed that she had paid the singer’s bond, but wouldn’t disclose where the money came from. “It wasn’t my money. I’m not going to say whose money it is.” As we previously reported , Kelly was released from jail last Monday after being arrested “and charged with 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse involving four victims, three of whom were minors.” The allegations date back to 1998 and span more than a decade. Kelly could face up to 70 years in prison if found guilty on these charges. RELATED NEWS: UPDATE: R. Kelly Makes Bail After Spending Weekend In Jail Y’all, Another Sex Tape Of R.

N BA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has used mementos from his storied basketball journey for a good cause. According to CBS News , Abdul-Jabbar auctioned off his memorabilia and some of the proceeds will be donated to an organization that he started that is working towards bringing STEM education to underserved communities. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar auctions off NBA championship rings and other memorabilia for STEM education https://t.co/9oo5YBZSzB pic.twitter.com/2wmQqmQEVJ — CBS News (@CBSNews) February 28, 2019 The Los Angeles-based organization—dubbed the Skyhook Foundation—was designed to make educational programming surrounding science, technology, engineering, and math accessible to underserved youngsters, the news outlet writes. As part of a collaborative effort with the Los Angeles Unified School District, UCLA and NASA, the foundation offers a program called Camp Skyhook which takes grade school students on a five-day educational experience in the Angeles National Forest. The organization has served over 4,000 students since its inception. “When it comes to choosing between storing a championship ring or trophy in a room, or providing kids with an opportunity to change their lives, the choice is pretty simple. Sell it all,” Abdul-Jabbar wrote in a statement featured on his website. “Looking back on what I have done with my life, instead of gazing at the sparkle of jewels or gold plating celebrating something I did a long time ago, I’d rather look into the delighted face of a child holding their first caterpillar and think about what I might be doing for their future. That’s a history that has no price.” He partnered Goldin Auctions to sell his items which were each worth thousands of dollars. Among the items that were featured in the auction were four of his championship rings, an all-star ring, an MVP trophy, and an autographed basketball from 1989. According to Bleacher Report , the items were auctioned off for nearly $3 million. Underserved communities across the country lack access to resources and funding for STEM education. It’s powerful to see Abdul-Jabbar use his platform to change that narrative.

T hroughout her career journey, Shonda Rhimes has continued to set the bar high in the entertainment industry. She is the first Black woman to develop and executive produce a Top 10 network series and she is continuing to make historic moves. According to the Huffington Post , Rhimes’ show Grey’s Anatomy hit a major milestone, becoming the longest-running medical drama in U.S. television history. “A lot has happened in 332 episodes and tomorrow we become the longest-running primetime medical drama,” she wrote. “People. You don’t want to miss this!” https://t.co/YQbq3bbf88 — HuffPost BlackVoices (@blackvoices) February 28, 2019 On Thursday, when the show aired its 332nd episode, it took the title away from ER which ran for 15 seasons and had a total of 331 episodes. The current cast of Grey’s Anatomy features actors Jesse Williams , Ellen Pompeo and Justin Chambers . The show made its debut in 2005 and has been going strong ever since. “I wanted to see people on television who look like me, and I wanted to see people on television who look like my friends. And I didn’t relate to a lot of the women on television because they didn’t seem realistic. It was just about writing people I wanted to watch, and writing people who felt like the people I knew. That’s what we ended up doing,” said Rhimes in an interview with Business Insider . She also added that it’s important to authentically bring narratives to life when working in television and not chase trends. “The goal is to make sure it’s not a trend. I don’t know what I can do to encourage it. I tell the stories I tell and I do it naturally.” Rhimes has seen success with many of the projects that she’s created including Private Practice , Scandal , and How to Get Away with Murder . In 2017, she inked a multi-year deal with Netflix where through her Shondaland production company she will develop eight series.

Source: Astrid Stawiarz /Getty/Randy Shropshire / Getty That was fast… Khloe Kardashian Changes Her Story, Says Tristan Thompson’s To Blame For Their Breakup Just a day after Khloe exploded on social media over Jordyn Woods’ “Red Table Talk” with Jada Pinkett Smith , the klueless Kardashian’s changing her tune. As previously reported Khloe was BIG mad that Jordyn claimed she wasn’t’ to blame for Khloe’s breakup with Tristan Thompson and detailed a night she spent partying at his house where NOTHING happened; until Tristan kissed her while she was leaving. According to Khloe her highly publicized split from Tristan was ALL Jordyn’s fault and she flat out called Jordyn a “liar.” She later added that Tristan’s to blame as well, but hinted that he should get some sort of a pass because he’s her baby’s father. Tristan is equally to blame but Tristan is the father of my child. Regardless of what he does to me I won’t do that to my daughter. He has been addressing this situation PRIVATELY. If Tristan were to lie publicly about what conspired,then yes I would address him publicly as well — Khloé (@khloekardashian) March 1, 2019 Now Khloe’s changing her mind, and admitting that it really is the fault of the man who allegedly cheated on her while she was pregnant and not the 21-year-old he kissed while she was leaving his place. Khloe started her series of tweets by noting that this latest Trystin’ cheating scandal was more anti-climactic than the first time she caught him creepin. “Honestly, Tristan cheating on me & humiliating me, wasn’t such a shock as the first time,” said Khloe. This has been an awful week & I know everyone is sick of hearing about it all (as am I). I’m a rollercoaster of emotions & have said things I shouldn’t have. Honestly, Tristan cheating on me & humiliating me, wasn’t such a shock as the first time. — Khloé (@khloekardashian) March 2, 2019 and she added that being betrayed by Jordyn whom she considered a “little sister” has been especially painful—but ultimately the breakup of her family is NOT her fault. “But Jordyn is not to be blamed for the breakup of my family. This was Tristan’s fault,” said Khloe. What’s been harder & more painful is being hurt by someone so close to me. Someone whom I love & treat like a little sister. But Jordyn is not to be blamed for the breakup of my family. This was Tristan’s fault. — Khloé (@khloekardashian) March 2, 2019 See what happens when Black Twitter drags you to Calabasas crumbles for blaming a woman for your breakup and NOT your consistently creepin’ baby daddy ?

Source: Hollywood To You/Star Max/GC Images/Getty / Theo Wargo The interview that we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived! On Friday (March 1), Jordyn Woods sat down at the red table with her “auntie” Jada Pinkett Smith to discuss the rumors that she slept with Tristan Thompson , the baby daddy and ex of her best friend’s sister, Khloe Kardashian . The 21-year-old stressed that while she was severely bullied on and offline after the news hit of the alleged incident, she remained silent, out of respect for the Kardashians. But when she saw that her own family’s lives were being threatened, she knew it was time to put them first and speak her truth. And that’s exactly what she did. She chose to share her story at the Red Table Talk because she has known Jada and Will her whole life. See, her father John Woods , worked on the set of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air , where he and Will became friends. From there, Jordyn and Jayden Smith forged a friendship that down the road included Kylie Jenner . Jada, who is also friends with the Kardashians, appeared pragmatic, wanting Jordyn to focus on the things she could have done differently in this situation in order to get to the bottom of the truth. (Translation: She couldn’t hold Tristan accountable for anything he did or place any blame on him.) Here are the biggest takeaways we got from the interview: Jordyn Claims She Shouldn’t Have Been There: The 21-year-old admits to Jada that she was out to dinner with her friends and went to another bar afterwards. When the bar closed, a friend told her they were going to someone’s house and that someone ended up being Tristan. Jordyn claims she was drunk, but wasn’t being inappropriate with Tristan. She never gave him a lap dance, never was over him and touching him other than her laying her feet on his legs. However, she feels that she shouldn’t have been to the party in the first place. Tristan Kissed Her As She Was Leaving His House: Jordyn claims that as she left his house at 7am to meet her driver, Tristan asked if she wanted to stay, she declined and then he leaned in and kissed her on the mouth without her consent. Shocked, Jordyn left and went home. She later admitted to Khloe and Kylie that she was at his house, but she never said anything about the kiss. SHE NEVER HAD SEX WITH HIM: Jordyn was clear that she never had sex with Tristan and that she is willing to take a lie detector test to prove her case. In no way has she contacted Tristan, there was no prior relationship and she has no intention of ever calling him. She also was clear: She knows that she is not the reason why Khloe and Tristan broke up. The Kardashians Have A Hell Of A Lot Of Nerve: With all of the men they have allegedly been with that have had girlfriends prior, this idea that they are all this upset is laughable. Yes, if she slept with him that is horrible, but she said she didn’t. She has come clean that he kissed her and that she did not return the kiss and went home. Where is this same energy for Tristan, the same man that has done nothing but humiliate Khloe with his public infidelity? No ma’am. Black Folks Will Always Have Black Folks’ Back: While the Kardashians have turned their back on Jordyn, it’s clear that Black folks will always have Black folks’ back. While for some it might have appeared that Jada placed too much blame on Jordyn’s partying for what happened, she was clear that she loved her and wanted to give her the space to speak her truth and heal. That, and her and her Will would always be there for her, no matter what. OUR TAKE: We can never know if Jordyn is telling the truth, but there is something to be said about how quick the media is to crucify Black women without having a shred of proof to back any of it up. Keep your head up Jordyn!

Tyler Perry is finally laying his beloved Madea character to rest from the big screen saying we will finally see the last of her in Tyler Perry’s A Madea Family Funeral which hits theaters tomorrow, March 1st, 2019. The plot of the movie is simple as a joyous family reunion turns into an unexpected nightmare when Madea and the gang find themselves planning a funeral in the backwoods of Georgia. This wouldn’t be a Madea movie without some crazy twist and turns in the film. As family secrets come to light in all the debauchery of the film you do get some very funny moments in an overall mess of a film. People love these movies and they tend to pull in money at the box office with Tyler Perry’s Boo! 2 A Madea Halloween pulling in 47 million dollars and the previous movie pulling in 73 million. Despite all the box office success, Tyler said he’s said everything he has to say as this character after doing her for over 20 years. He reveals, “I’m turning 50 this year and Madea was clearly a means to get to a point. To get to the studio opening, to be able to work and hire people and do all of these other things and she did all of that for me and for me turning 50 I want to do somethings differently.” While the movie comes out this weekend, you can still see Madea on the stage as Tyler is taking the act on the road touring Madea in a stage play where it all started, for another year or maybe longer. “I don’t know if it’s going to end this year or 2020 because the show has been sold out everywhere so we are adding more dates,” Tyler explains to Xilla. The live reaction with the audience is what he will miss the most because he explains it’s “not like these movies.” The movies are what they are, funny and all over the place and you don’t expect them to be anything more than nonsense, long scenes and a bunch of foolery. One of the running jokes in the film has everyone calling Madea a man. I’ve always thought Madea was the elder Auntie with no filter we all know and love but I asked has she always been a woman? His answer is rather surprising. Check out today’s episode of Extra Butter With Xilla Valentine as we talk to Tyler Perry about his new film Tyler Perry’s A Madea Funeral.
