In case you didn’t know, the “delivert” internet star was arrested over the weekend in St. Louis. BlackAmericaWeb reports that Caldwell was taken into the St. Louis City Justice Center at 1 AM for a few warrants, including speeding and failing to appear in court. After being released, Caldwell said on social media that he was followed by a man he didn’t know who followed him and attacked him outside a hospital. The man allegedly tried to rob him and punched him in the face. Caldwell then “defended himself” and busted out the man’s car windows.

I n May Black philanthropist Robert F. Smith made a monumental announcement during Morehouse College’s commencement ceremony where he pledged to eliminate the student loan debt of the 2019 graduating class. According to the Philadelphia Tribune , the HBCU is taking his efforts a step further by launching a new fund to help students tackle their loans. Morehouse Launches New Fund to Help Eliminate Student Loan Debt https://t.co/ZrflTPVS78 — Black Enterprise (@blackenterprise) August 9, 2019 The initiative—dubbed the Morehouse College Student Success Program—was created to help alumni significantly decrease their student loan debt so they can launch their careers, further their education and ultimately cultivate wealth. Through the program, organizers will also conduct research on the financial barriers derived from the cost of education and how to overcome them. “The Morehouse College Student Success Program will provide students with a liberating gift that will wipe away or greatly reduce their student loans, allowing them to pursue their dreams and lead lives of leadership and service immediately after graduation,” said Morehouse President David A. Thomas in a statement, according to the news outlet. The college’s Board of Trustees hopes that the program will serve as a blueprint for other historically Black colleges and universities. There is a huge need for programs like the one launched by the HBCU at colleges and universities across the nation. The student loan debt crisis has grown to $1.5 trillion. HBCU students are impacted the most by student loan debt. Research conducted by the United Negro College Fund revealed that 80 percent of HBCU students rely on federal loans to pay for their education. On average Morehouse graduates owe up to $40,000 in student loans. SEE ALSO: Billionaire Robert F.

We have a stunner out of Hollywood this evening: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have pulled the plug on their marriage after just eight months as husband and wife. This time frame doesn’t tell the whole story, though, of course, because the singer and the actor had been a romantic item — on and off — for over a decade. What the heck went wrong? How did this seemingly stable relationship fall apart less than a year after the stars committed to each other for life? “Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time,” a rep for Cyrus told People Magazine in a statement on Saturday. Not many details were offered, aside from the following: “Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers. They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. “Please respect their process and privacy.” This message was released just hours after Miley shared a photo of herself on Instagram — without a wedding ring around her finger. “Mute me if you don’t want SPAMMED,” she captioned the post, which depicted Miley sitting in a chair while wearing a black bustier top with a matching pair of black pants. As far as we know, neither side was disloyal to the other during their marriage. There have been no accusations of infidelity leveled at Liam or Miley. HOWEVER, Us Weekly reports that was spotted kissing Brody Jenner’s ’s ex-wife, Kaitlynn Carter, in Italy a day before this split was confirmed. (For the possibly confusing record: Jenner and Carter filed for divorce this summer.) (For the possibly confusing record, part two: Miley has often talked openly about her sexuality and how she never wants to affix a label to herself such as “straight” or “bisexual.”) In photos posted by Entertainment Tonight , the 26-year old singer is donning a black bikini and holding the hand of Carter as they vacation in Italy with Cyrus’ older sister, Brandi. The pair are seen in these images all snuggled up, arms around each other and kisses being exchanged as they bask in the sun. Miley and Liam met way back in 2010 on the film The Last Song. They dated for years after that and even got engaged at one point… only to break up and then reconcile on more than one occasion. But the pair had consistently been together for years prior to their surprising marriage this past December , which took place at their home in Tennessee, just weeks after a wildfire burned down their home in Malibu. “Liam caring for animals and helping others during the Malibu fire sealed the deal. Their love exploded after that,” a source told Us Weekly. “They are a perfect match.” That may be true. But their decision to get married may have been misguided, spurred on by a natural disaster and the adrenaline from living through such a dangerous experience. Just this month, in a cover story for Elle, Cyrus said she doesn’t fit the mold of a “sterotypical wife,” explaining: “I think it’s very confusing to people that I’m married. But my relationship is unique… “I don’t know that I would ever publicly allow people in there because it’s so complex, and modern, and new that I don’t think we’re in a place where people would get it. “I mean, do people really think that I’m at home in a f-cing apron cooking dinner? I’m in a hetero relationship, but I still am very sexually attracted to women.” This much does now seem clear — and perhaps should have been a warning flag for the couple. Added Miley in this same interview: “People become vegetarian for health reasons, but bacon is still f-cing good, and I know that. I made a partner decision. “This is the person I feel has my back the most. I definitely don’t fit into a stereotypical wife role. I don’t even like that word.” Well… she no longer has to worry about it being attached to her. We wish both Cyrus and Hemsworth nothing but the best.

Not only that, to make matters even more serious, the actor is letting fans know that he’s refusing to start work on Aquaman 2 until something is done. Right now, the project–known as Thirty Meter Telescope–is being built there, while Indigenous Hawaiians believe that shouldn’t happen because it’s the most sacred site on Earth. Momoa had already posted on Instagram from the site, but now, he’s making himself all the way clear that he’s had enough. “F**K THIS. And TMT is 4x bigger. Sorry Warner Bros we can’t shoot Aquaman 2.

Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN While the Black community and people with good sense celebrated the news of Halle Bailey being selected to play role of Ariel in The Little Mermaid, it also inspired a lot of racists to step forward and share their hate. They were sick about the fact that live-action Ariel was going to be a Black girl. While Bailey has shared that she’s thrilled about the role, people wondered if she’d heard the criticisms from the naysayers. There was a Change.org petition, asking that Disney rescind their decision. On social media, there was a #NotMyAriel hashtag for people who felt strongly about the issue. There were even those who argued that casting Bailey as Ariel would remove representation for red-headed children. I guess no one considered the fact that Black folks can be red-headed as well.

It turns out that Bailey did hear the criticisms and she had a very classy, very appropriate and mature response. See what she had to say below. In an interview with Variety, Bailey said, “I feel like I’m dreaming and I’m just grateful and I don’t pay attention to the negativity.

Source: Teresa Kroeger / Getty With Wendy Williams’ divorce in the works , the talk show legend shared that she and soon-to-be-ex Kevin Hunter did not have a prenup in place. During a recent episode of “Sway In The Morning,” the 55-year-old admitted she never had those papers drawn because she “didn’t think [her marriage] would end.” “That’s not sexy to introduce paperwork when you’re in love with somebody,” she said adding, “But as a grown person, I get with another grown person, and that grown person would also have a thriving career. I’d choose differently this time.” As PEOPLE pointed out , without a prenup, Hunter, who was also served as Williams’ longtime manager, could have access to her whopping $40 million net worth. In addition to spilling the tea about her divorce, Williams also dished on her dating life and what kind of man she needs in her life for the long-term. “As a grown person, I’d get with another grown person, and that grown person would have a thriving career. I would choose differently this time,” she said. “You know I am 55. I don’t want to be with someone who wants to be a rapper. you know what I mean. You might see me on a date with a 32-year old — please don’t mistake that for anything other than we are on a date. What I need is the comfort of a man who’s got his own and grown kids. I ain’t changing Pampers.” Take a look: As we previously reported , Williams filed for divorce in April. Clearly there are plenty of reasons for Williams to walk away from her marriage, which includes Hunter allegedly having a decade long affair with Hudson , perhaps even having a baby with her. That, and Williams has been battling with addiction issues , which Hunter’s alleged cheating may have caused her to spiral. Also, it was reported that Williams was allegedly rushed to the hospital in March of this year after hearing of Hudson and Hunter’s bundle of joy. That, and the 54-year-old’s popular talk show is on another hiatus . Then there were the allegations of physical abuse. This spring, sources told the New York Post in the past that employees claimed they heard the two fighting and that Williams would hide in her office to avoid seeing him. “She would hide in the bathroom and tell me to knock on the door when he left the office so she wouldn’t have to see him,” an intern told the newspaper. “You’d hear slaps or some type of tussling going on.” In the end, Williams just hopes that she and Hunter can be cordial to another for the sake of their 18-year-old son, Kevin Jr. “I want a divorce like yesterday, I want a divorce two months ago, three months ago. Whenever I found out, four months ago,” she stressed. “I want a divorce and I want to be friends with Kevin. I mean, and not because we have a son, but because that was real love. I still love him, just not in that way. You either in or you are out with me. I still have love for him, and I wish him the best in his new life with his new family.” RELATED NEWS: It Looks Like Wendy Williams Is Getting Her Groove Back With This Mystery Man Wendy Williams Is Living Her Best Life, Hung Out With Blac Chyna Last Night The Nerve!
