I t’s been nearly a year since the tragic mass shooting at a Nashville-based Waffle House occurred and the man who intervened and saved the lives of many individuals at the restaurant on that frightful day is still being honored for his heroic efforts. Tennessee native James Shaw Jr. was recognized at the National Crime Victims’ Service Awards on Friday, the Tennessean reported. The U.S. Justice Department presented James Shaw Jr. the special Courage Award during the annual National Crime Victims' Service Awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. on Friday. https://t.co/tfLLUItqhZ — WSMV News4 Nashville (@WSMV) April 12, 2019 The ceremony—which took place in Washington, D.C.—honored individuals and organizations who have displayed their dedication to providing support for victims of traumatic experiences. Survivors who have utilized their own journeys to empower others were also celebrated at the ceremony. Shaw was given the Special Courage Award. While Shaw was dining at the Waffle House on April 22, 2018 a gunman opened fire on restaurant patrons. Shaw sprung into action and fought the gunman in an effort to get the weapon out of his hands and prevent him from shooting other people inside of the restaurant. Shaw was able to successfully disarm the gunman; a heroic action that saved lives. Four people were murdered and four others, including Shaw, were injured. In the aftermath of the shooting, Shaw launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for the families of the deceased. Leaders wanted to honor him not only for his heroism during the incident, but his dedication to helping the loved ones of those lost heal. “Risking his own life, Mr. Shaw acted swiftly and bravely after a gunman killed four people early one morning at a diner, saving the lives of many others. He then followed up his courageous action by delivering comfort and aid to wounded and traumatized victims,” Attorney General William P. Barr said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “None of us knows how we would react in such a dangerous situation, but we can all be inspired by Mr. Shaw’s selflessness.” Shaw has received awards and honors from educational institutions, organizations, and individuals. Tennessee State University has set up a scholarship fund in his name, BET gave him a Humanitarian Award, and he was honored with a Gold Vail Award by AT&T Chief Executive Officer Randall L. Stephenson . He also was recognized by Steve Harvey and Ellen DeGeneres .

Reunited And It Feels So Good, Millennium Tour Takes Us Back To The Early 2000’s

View original post here:

  Source: Local: B2K 2019 Millennial Tour_Contest_KBFB_Dallas_RD_January 2019 / CS – IONE DIGITAL   Last week I was able to relive one the best time periods in my 20 something years of living along with so many others at the Millennium Tour. Going back to a time where Jersey Dresses, Slouch socks, bamboo earrings, and men wearing 2XL everything was considered a trend, this was a show I could not miss. The best moment about this particular time period was the music. Lloyd had us wanting to go to the south side, while we chicken head with Chingy at the H oliday-Inn , we were all slowing down for Bobby V, Grinding with Pretty Ricky, rying to be J ust A Friend  to Mario, and explaining to B2K why some of us made the perfect Girlfriend . There were many popular child stars and groups that was in our age bracket we felt there was chance to chosen, which I feel is lacking in today’s music. Who are kids listening to in there age bracket and who is this generation growing up with musically? As a child I had posters plastered all around my room and school lockers from the Word Up Magazines t o the CD covers. So covering the Millennium Tour was nothing short from amazing. Was I the only one who kept CD’s on repeat feeling like I was being sung to knowing damn well half of those songs we shouldn’t have known in the first place?  Well it’s truly an amazing feeling to grow up with the stars you admired and I can honestly say the feeling was mutual for these performers as well. r While I enjoyed the show as if i was back at a Scream Tour, I did run into a few familiar faces. Now there were much speculation about certain artist not being apart of the tour and why,  but somehow they made there way to Millennium Tour right here in the ATL. Check out what your favorite childhood stars, see what they’ve been up to along with what they have in store.

According to reports , Cognito sat down on a stool while breathing heavily, before falling silent for five minutes, and the crowd at the The Attic bar in Bicester thought it was a joke, so they continued to laugh. Veteran stand-up comedian Ian Cognito has died on-stage – literally. The audience thought it was part of the act. Died with his boots on. That’s commitment to comedy. I’ll never forget his kindness when I started out & how god damn funny he was. — Jimmy Carr (@jimmycarr) April 12, 2019 South Central Ambulance Service arrived shortly after and the veteran comedian was pronounced dead on the scene. Sources say that Cognito had not been feeling well before the gig started, but insisted on going on stage anyway. Fans of the late comic took to social to express their condolences. I’d heard so many stories before I met him. I got to a gig & the promoter said “Ian’s here & is in the dressing room”. I didn’t know which Ian he meant, opened the door & a man was pissing in the sink and smiling at me. I remember thinking to myself “I think this is Ian Cognito” — James Acaster (@JamesAcaster) April 12, 2019 RIP Ian Cognito. Always absolutely lovely to me. A proper comedy legend. — Jim Smallman (@jimsmallman) April 12, 2019 Don’t normally do public tributes but Ian Cognito was really nice to me when I was new & said there should be more women in comedy. He then said earnestly he had a big opportunity for me. “Have you ever gigged…..in Barnsley?” — Fern Brady is in Australia (@FernBrady) April 12, 2019 Rest in peace, legend.

90 Day Fiance The Other Way: New Spinoff Announces Premiere Date!

This July, Chantel and Pedro’s 90 Day Fiance spinoff will premiere on TLC for the first time. But The Family Chantel isn’t the only spinoff that’s been in the works, and another will premiere even earlier than that. 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way will have its series premiere sooner than you ever imagined. In a press release about the exciting new series in the popular franchise, TLC teases what viewers can expect from The Other Way . “Viewers are familiar with the premise of hit 90 Day Fiance ,” the statement begins. In case anyone had somehow missed it, the statement reminds them: “when an American brings their partner from abroad.” But there’s a catch to the K-1 visa process, and it’s right there in the show’s name. “And has only 90 days to marry them,” the statement notes. “Or have their partner leave the country.” In some cases, stars on 90 Day Fiance have never met in person before that 90 day countdown begins. “But in this new spinoff series,” the statement continues. “They’ll find out what happens when love flows in the opposite direction.” As previously reported, this spinoff will follow Americans who move to other countries instead of the other way around. In this case, the term 90 Day Fiance becomes a bit of a stretch. Different nations have different policies on immigration and immigration for marriage. The United States’ policies on immigration and visas are notoriously strict. This series will be flipping the (non) script and showing viewers how very different the experience can be. “A collection of Americans make the ultimate sacrifice,” TLC describes. (To be clear, plenty of people moving to the US on the original series came from very nice countries themselves) The statement continues: “and move across the globe.” TLC notes that they’re willing to leave it all behind “for the person they love.” Here, a primarily American audience will see different narratives play out. “Leaving their American comforts for vastly different ways of life leads to major culture shock,” the statement notes. Much of the world has a fairly reasonable idea of how things are in the United States, largely because of television and film. Unfortunately, a lack of globally popular media from many countries means that Americans may be ignorant about what to expect. TLC promises that viewers will watch Americans “as they experience the challenges of relocating for their international love affairs.” As always, there is a definite question of whether things will work out in the end … and whether it was even worth it to try. “Will uprooting their lives in the United States pay off?” TLC asks. Living in the most powerful nation on Earth has some drawbacks, but it’s a lot to give up. “Or,” the statement concludes. “Will it be the biggest mistake of their lives?” After all, leaving it all behind for love sounds romantic. But love can fizzle out in a matter of decades. Or years. Or even months. 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way premieres in June of this year. There has been a rumor bouncing around on the internet that one couple who is familiar to viewers will appear on this series. Some have suspected that Paul and Karine (who just welcomed their baby boy! ) will be the ones, since they’ve been in Brazil this whole dang time. Even though Steven returned to the US without Olga , it won’t be those two, since Olga and baby Alex will follow him in a matter of weeks. But mostly this spinoff will be about new couples with very different dynamics. Viewers won’t know what to expect until they tune in. Or at least until that first trailer drops.

Kristin Cavallari: Jay Cutler Sucks! (On My Nipples For Medical Reasons)

It seems Kristin Cavallari has one important thing in common with millions of Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins fans: She shares their opinion that Jay Cutler sucks! Of course, Cavallari’s view has nothing to do with Cutler’s performance on the field, or his behavior in post-game press conferences. Allow us to explain: The second season of Kristen’s reality show, Very Cavallari , is soon to come to an end, and while that might not generate as much excitement as, say, the final episodes of Game of Thrones the series apparently contains plot twists every bit as shocking as the Red Wedding. Very Cavallari Preview For example, we learn that Jay’s sucking skills are so sophisticated he can use them to save a life! It seems that while she was breastfeeding, Kristin suffered from a severely clogged milk duct. “Major clogged ducts,” she tells her friends in the clip above. “Jay had to get them out for me, sucking harder than he’s ever sucked … and you know what? Saved my life.” Yes, Jay Cutler saved a freaking life with his oral nipple-manipulating abilities. Sure, during his NFL career, Cutler was a bit of a choke artist, and a hangnail was enough to sideline the guy for a playoff game, but have any of your elite QBs ever performed life-saving mouth-to-boob resuscitation? Would Tom Brady be ready hoover a Gisele nip in the event of a lactic malfunction? We think not! Can you expect Aaron Rodgers to apply tongue and teeth as needed to rescue Danica Patrick’s jugs from a career-ending wreck? Ha! The only dairy product that diva’s interested in is the cheese atop the heads of the Lambeau faithful.  No, when it comes to restoring the healthy flow of life-giving mammary juice, you need a workhorse like Mr. Fourth Quarter himself. Of course, it’s not all sucked ducts and rainbows in the Cutler-Cavallari household. The trailer also features some darker moments, like when Kristin accused Jay of failing to encourage her in following her dreams. “When you were playing football, I had to give up my whole life,” she says to him at one point. “I don’t feel that same support from you.” Far be it for us to stand up for Jay freakin’ Cutler — a man who spent his entire career wishing he could somehow make millions playing for a league with zero fans — but we feel the need to point out that the duct incident should buy him at least a few weeks of consequence-free douchiness. It’s really all he’s ever wanted.

Grey’s Anatomy Recap: Did Amelia Make Amends With Her Mother?

Thursday’s Grey’s Anatomy was a nice change of pace.  The action moved to New York with Amelia and Link as they made their way to the Big Apple with the aim of saving the life of a patient.  Once there, Amelia ran into her sister Nancy, who stepped in for the chief of OB, meaning the two sisters had to work together.  It was a strange twist of fate, and Nancy seemingly had no idea that Amelia was quite the powerhouse with a scalpel.  More alarming: Nancy just assumed that Link was Owen.  This solidified the fact that these siblings don’t spend any time checking in with each other. Amelia did not want to open up about her failed relationship with Owen.  But Nancy urged her sister to have a family dinner with her, and the invitation was open to Link. Thankfully, Link was Team Amelia on this one.  He was mad the family refused to support her, but Amelia wanted to prove she was the reliable one now.  “This dinner is a chance for me to brag, prove them wrong, I’m not sure,” Amelia said. “I’m just sure that I have to go, and if you go with me, I’ll make it worth your while in very creative ways that you will enjoy.” Amelia’s other sister, Kathleen, showed up for the meal, and that’s when things got wild. Kathleen didn’t believe Amelia had changed, so she waited until Amelia was out of the room, and quizzed him.  Link managed to dodge the questions, but the drama kicked into high gear when Amelia’s mother showed up, and she knew Link was not Owen.  Amelia’s mood changed because she looked like a total liar, and she decided to come clean about the state of her relationship with Owen.  The family revealed they had a bet on about how quickly the union would end, causing Amelia to wonder why she bothered.  On top of that, they made jokes about her having a brain tumor. It was as awful as you would expect.  “You don’t know me. You have not seen me in years. I am trapped in your mind and on your stairs at 14 years old,” Amelia shouted, adding: “I am sober, I am responsible, and I am a neurosurgeon at the top of my field.” Link realized he had to say something to defend his new girlfriend, and he was pretty awesome.  “I’m new to all of this, and I haven’t known Amelia that long but I wanted us to stay for dinner tonight so you can get to know the woman I’m getting to know,” the self-proclaimed “ortho god,” said.  “She is a brilliant surgeon. The kind you fly across the country when you need the best.” Amelia and Link then left the dinner party, clearly upset at the way things played out.  When they returned to the hospital, their patient was flatlining, so they pressed on with risky surgery.  Link did not want to do it, but Amelia was adamant; It could save their patient’s life, and it did.  Amelia’s mom then showed up at the hospital, and the pair got chatting about their lives. That’s when Mrs. Shepherd revealed that she always knew Amelia was stronger than everyone gave her credit for.  She finally gave her daughter the apology she should have several years before.  “If you don’t think you’re worthy of love if you don’t think your love is valuable, you’re wrong. That’s on me,” she said. What did you think of this explosive episode? Hit the comments below.  Grey’s Anatomy airs Thursdays on ABC.

Source: Allen Berezovsky / Getty While Lauren London did not speak for very long at Nipsey Hussle’s memorial service in Los Angeles on Thursday, her powerful words still stayed with us. She opened sharing a moment she had with him, saying that one morning while he was sleeping, she sent him this loving text. “Ermias, I want you to know that I feel real joy in my heart when I’m around you. I feel safe around you, protected like a shield over me when you’re around. I’m totally myself when I’m with you,” she said with her children, along with Nipsey’s eldest daughter Emaini by her side . “My truth is this: I’m never going to give up on you. My love and my devotion are to you.” She said Hussle believed “you can’t possess people…you experience them,” adding, “I’m so honored and blessed that I got to experience such a man.” Lauren also told the residents of Los Angeles that are also mourning the rapper’s death that he is still with all of us. “What’s in you they can’t take away, and he’s in all of us.” She then looked up to the sky as if she was talking to him from heaven, “I love you with all this earth, and until we meet again, the marathon continues.” She also said the father of her two-year-old son Kross was an amazing “family man.” “He was a protector and wanted us to be our best at all times. He was a truth seeker and truth speaker.” She added: “I’m going to keep my head high and always represent for my king to the fullest. He loved his kids. He was a family man. His family came first.” Lil Wayne & Lauren London’s son, Cameron, asks everyone to pay their respects to Nipsey #CelebrationOfNipseyHussle : pic.twitter.com/Yv4a0dtH7z — Pye Waw (@pyewaw) April 11, 2019 Lauren London’s first born son with Lil Wayne, Cameron, took to the stage to pay homage to his step-father as well. “On the night of April 2, I had a dream. I was in a paradise and I was playing in the ocean water when Ermias popped up right behind me. He said, ‘What up killa,’ ‘cuz that’s my nickname to him. I turned around and I yelled his name and gave him a hug. Shortly he was gone but it was still cool I guess,” he said. “I told my mom about the dream and after I told her I was thinking about it. And I realized that Ermias told me what heaven was like, he told me it was paradise,” Cameron continued before leading the crowd to all say, “Respect.” As we previously reported , Hussle, whose real name Ermias Asghedom, was pronounced dead at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday (March 31), after being shot six times in the head and chest in front of his clothing company, the Marathon Store. LAPD announced on Tuesday that they caught Eric Holde r, the suspect they believe is responsible for the 33-year-old’s murder. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department revealed that the 29-year-old was caught by deputies sometime before 1:30 p.m. Prior to his death, the Grammy-nominated rapper Hussle had been a staple in his Crenshaw community, buying up store fronts to revitalize the area and provide a much-needed economic boost in the area. He was also known to help promote STEM among young Black girls, help the homeless and others in the neighborhood. Rest in power Nipsey. You will be missed.

Long Live Nip: President Barack Obama Pens A Prolific Piece Dedicated To Nipsey Hussle

Source: Press/Splash News/ SplasheNews.com / Splash News President Obama Writes Tribute Letter To Nipsey Hussle Neighborhood Nip just got remembered in an epic way. A letter from President Barack Obama was read by Karen Civil at Nipsey Hussle’s funeral. In it, the President said while he’d never met Nipsey he was familiar with him because of Sasha and Malia. He also praised the late rapper for investing in his Crenshaw neighborhood and leaving a legacy. “I’d never met Nipsey Hussle, but I’d heard some of his music through my daughters, and after his passing, I had the chance to learn more about his transformation and his community work,” Obama begins in the letter. “While most folks look at the Crenshaw neighborhood where he grew up and see only gangs, bullets, and despair, Nipsey saw potential,” he continued. “He saw hope. He saw a community that, even through its flaws, taught him to always keep going.” “His choice to invest in that community rather than ignore it — to build a skills training center, and a co-working space in Crenshaw; to lift up the Eritrean-American community; to set an example for young people to follow — is a legacy worthy of celebration,” Obama wrote. “I hope his memory inspires more good work in Crenshaw and communities like it,” he added.

J-Lo Finally Weighs In On That Undeserving & Tired Grammy Motown Tribute, Calls Critics ‘Bullies’

Follow this link:

Source: Kevin Winter / Getty Jennifer Lopez is finally speaking out about the serious backlash she faced for performing that tired Motown tribute at the Grammy Awards in February. Instead of recognizing that perhaps she wasn’t the best person to be paying homage to the iconic R&B record label especially given the number of Black female singers with more talent that could have done a way better job, J-Lo made it about her being bullied. On Wednesday, she told The Breakfast Club ,  “So what do you do in this? Do you back down and just let like people who are bullying you online not do something you were gonna do, that you wanna do, that you love? What does that say?” She also claimed that the Black men behind Motown urged her not to quit. “My kids were in the car when we got the call and they were like, ‘Mommy, why don’t they want you to do it? What’s going on?’ . . . For a minute I was gonna drop out, then I spoke to the producers and I spoke to Berry Gordy, spoke to Stevie Wonder, Smokey and (they) were like, ‘Please do it. Motown music was for everybody. We made music for everybody and you were inspired by that and you know all these songs,’” she said. Adding, “Berry’s been to my show, and he loves me as a performer and he was like, ‘I can’t think of anybody [else] that I would want to have do it. I love the way you perform.’ He was so happy when he heard I was doing it. It was just a nice thing. I was like, ‘OK, it would be easy for me to drop out, it’s one less thing to do.’ Trust me, I was busy at that time, but afterwards I felt like, ‘I told my kids I was gonna go do it.’ … They smiled, they looked at me, they were like, ‘Good, Mommy; don’t let them make you back down and push you around.’ I think it was an important lesson for that reason alone. And I had a great time doing it.” Girl. Source: Jason LaVeris / Getty When the 49-year-old was asked about those pesky rumors about her fiancé Alex Rodriguez cheating on her with another baseball player’s ex-wife, Jenny from the Block said she knows the truth. “It doesn’t matter. I know what truth is. I know who he is. He knows who I am,” she said. “We’re just happy,” Lopez tells Charlamagne Tha God of her husband-to-be, adding “We’re not going to let other people come out and tell us what our relationship is. I know what our relationship is.” Jennifer also shared a story about Sean Diddy Comb s apologizing for being flirty with her on Instagram. “Yes, but just so you guys know, he wrote Alex after that. He was like, ‘I didn’t mean anything by it. I have nothing but respect for you guys, I’m so happy for you guys, blah blah blah.’ We were together so many years ago, we were kids.” Take a look at the entire interview: RELATED NEWS: Smokey Robinson Defends J.
