Blake Shelton Blindsided by Miranda Lambert Marriage Bombshell

Over the weekend after Valentine’s Day, the world learned that Miranda Lambert has a new husband . That was so unexpected — fans never saw it coming. And neither, it turns out, did her ex-husband Blake Shelton, who was as in the dark as the rest of us. RadarOnline   reports that Blake Shelton did not receive any kind of forewarning or courtesy call about Miranda’s new marriage. “Blake found about the wedding at the same time everyone else did,” an insider reveals. A lot of celebrities will inform an ex, even through a friend or agent, so that they’re not blindsided. The source notes: “He was NOT given a heads up and doesn’t know her new husband.” “Since they split,” the insider adds. “They have had almost zero contact.” After Miranda Lambert broke things off with Evan Felker , she kept her new relationship fairly quiet. Which is why her fans and followers were absolutely shocked to learn that she’d gotten hitched. Back when she was with Anderson East, there were definitely rumors of engagements and wedding plans. But this news about Brendan Mcloughlin didn’t just have people wondering when they had decided to get hitched. It had people wondering who the frick Brendan is and when he and Miranda had started dating. It’s not especially shocking to hear that Miranda didn’t tip off Blake about her union. Their break-up was less than amicable. Though both have accused the other of cheating on them, it was Blake who reportedly set all of Miranda’s things out on the porch. To make matters worse, Blake effectively kept the Country music community in the divorce. Miranda found herself the “loser” in the divorce, so to speak. Combined with Blake being publicly pitied and so famously moving on with Gwen Stefani, and we can imagine that there are a lot of bitter feelings. Speaking of Miranda’s feelings … is she okay? We’re not just talking about this spontaneous marriage, though it is sudden and unexpected. Just last week, Miranda got into an altercation at a steakhouse . Miranda and her dining companion were confronted by an older couple, and ended with Miranda’s salad on another woman’s head. While the scuffle gave us a rare opportunity to write tossed salad in a headline, it may be cause for concern. That doesn’t sound like the behavior of a healthy, balanced woman to us. It ties into a bit of character development that Miranda has undergone in recent years. Remember back when Blake was the drinker and troublemaker and Miranda was his long-suffering wife? Okay, we’re exaggerating, but only a little bit. These days, she seems to be the one making outrageous tabloid headlines, while Blake has settled down with Gwen. Also, Miranda came right out and admitted that she’s a bit of a homewrecker after hooking up with the still-married Evan Felker. Is the downfall of the Felker marriage her fault? Of course not. Not unless she kidnapped him. But openly discussing her role in it sounds like an unwise career move. View Slideshow: 24 Celebrity Weddings That No One Saw Coming

R. Kelly Faces Indictment At The Hand Of Chicago Grand Jury

More here:

Source: Scott Legato / Getty R. Kelly has yet to face true justice in the wake of the allegations raised in the recent Lifetime Surviving R. Kelly docu-series, but developments in Chicago might change that. A grand jury convened last week after attorney Michael Avenatti produced alleged video evidence of the singer abusing an underage girl. The Blast reports : Sources close to the situation confirmed to The Blast a grand jury was convened last week by the Cook County State’s Attorney Office in Chicago. We’re told the grand jury — comprised of a group of citizens — was formed on the heels of attorney Michael Avenatti delivering a videotape allegedly depicting Kelly engaged in sexual activity with an underage girl. Since the airing of the Lifetime docu-series, “Surviving R. Kelly,” the public has been demanding charges be brought against him, but officials have yet to formally charge the star as they dealt with the hurdles of locating victims and forming a case. However, one of the powers of the Cook County State’s Attorney Office is the ability to assemble a grand jury, which can issue an indictment against a defendant without prosecutors having to present evidence at a preliminary hearing in front of a trial judge and a defense counsel. This is still a developing matter with lead Cook County prosecutor Kim Foxx urging any of Kelly’s victims to come forward and add their names to a potential case against the singer. — Photo: Getty

Black-Owned Biscuit Brand Lands Distribution Deals With Walmart, Whole Foods, Other Retailers

Read the original post:

B lack entrepreneurs are making power moves in 2019. Just weeks after 18-year-old beauty entrepreneur Zandra Cunningham landed a huge deal with Target, another entrepreneur has inked deals with other national retailers. Lesley Riley , founder of the gourmet baking company Mama Biscuits, will have her products sold at Walmart, Sam’s Club, Whole Foods and other stores, Black News reported. A 127-year old family biscuit recipe has helped this Black entrepreneur make #blackhistory by scoring major national distribution deals… in just 4 years! #buyblack #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlsrock https://t.co/0PrsKJgf2a — Black News (@BlackNews) February 11, 2019 Riley—who started Mama Biscuits four years ago—wanted to pay homage to her grandmother through her company, the news outlet writes. The products that she sells are inspired by her grandmother’s recipes that were passed down through different generations in her family for over a century. Stepping into entrepreneurship was no easy feat for Riley. Like many Black founders she struggled with securing funding for her business. The lack of financial support didn’t deter Riley from making Mama Biscuits a success. She continued her passion for cooking and as word spread about how delicious her biscuits were, she built a demand. Her company is the country’s first gourmet biscuit baking company in the DMV area. “I want to give my customers and future customers the gift of eating our Artisan sweet, savory, gluten-free gourmet biscuits. I ship them all over the United States and would love for each household to experience them,” said Riley in a statement. “I never take anything for granted. No matter what opportunities come your way always remain humble. Opportunities aren’t given to everyone.” Riley also uses her company as an avenue for social good. She donates biscuits to local food pantries that serve the homeless and plans on launching a culinary education program for youth. Riley is slated to appear on In the Kitchen with David on QVC on March 17.

O.D. Excellence: These Teachers Have Officially Won Black History Month

See the original post here:

Source: Alejandro Gallardo / EyeEm / Getty Despite all the madness going on in the world, it does feel like people are putting forth lots of effort this year to celebrate Black History Month. African-American teachers all across the country have decided to switch from the tradition BHM celebration for something newer, truer and more fun. Although there’s nothing wrong with honoring our forefathers by dressing up as them or reading about the same people — educators these days understand the importance of creativity and fun when it comes to teaching young Black kids about their history. Social media has sparked a trend of teachers decorating their door with Black cultural icons of the past and present, all with the help of a little construction paper. One of the first decorated doors to go viral was Glen Mourning , a 4th grade reading teacher at Friendship Public Charter School in Washington D.C. Mourning’s life sized door version of Colin Kaepernick had Black Twitter so proud. View this post on Instagram I’ve always dreamed of becoming an NFL superstar and when this guy right here decided to fight for love and equality…He changed my perspective on what being a big time play maker actually meant. Make the game winning move in the game of life! @crunchylifebooks #blackhistorymonth #colinkaepernick #istandwithkap #teacher #author #educator #blackmaleteacher #nike @teamcolinkaepernick #takeaknee @nike @usnikefootball @kaepernick7 @nessnitty @tylerperry A post shared by Glen Mourning (@mourningknows) on Jan 30, 2019 at 4:09pm PST   “Representation matters! i love these teachers that decorate their classroom doors for black history month .” – @_kaykayyy Just last week, Moss Point teacher Jovan Bradshaw, went viral not for the appealing decorations, but thanks to the profound message written on it. The sign read, “They didn’t steal slaves. They stole scientists, doctors, architects, teachers, entrepreneurs, astronomers, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, etc, and made them slaves. Sincerely, your ancestors.” A photo of Lake Alfred Elementary School teacher Chanique Davis’ classroom door also made its rounds on social media. I mean, who doesn’t want to see features of a young Black girl rocking a tilted crown, natural hair and kente cloth during Black History Month. Davis told Edweek , “In a lot of corporate American settings, they don’t allow such a style. I wanted [my students] to know that this style is to be celebrated—it’s not to be shunned and it’s not anything negative. It’s a beautiful style, and … it’s just like anyone else’s hair: It’s welcomed, it’s celebrated. Since they are learning about the Martin Luther Kings and the Malcolm Xs in other settings, I want to be the one to let them know there are people who are currently adding to black history.” Anecia White of Harvest Preparatory School opted for the beautiful Black woman visuals too. She told People magazine “My source of inspiration for the door was every student in my classroom. They inspire me to be a better teacher every day, and I hope to inspire them to continue to learn about themselves.” Only two weeks left of Black History Month. We can’t wait to see else folks will come up with. *Raises fist in the air*

Sister Wives: GUESS WHO’S ENGAGED!!

Surprise, surprise! Congratulations are in order for the Brown family! Because Mariah is engaged!!! Did we trick you? Did you think that Kody was adding yet another wife to his arsenal, or that perhaps Meri had had enough and found another man? Sorry, it’s nothing that dramatic. But it sure is adorable! Mariah is the only child of Meri and Kody — Meri was unable to have anymore children. A couple of years ago, Mariah told her family that she was gay , and although they struggled with the news a bit at first, they’ve become very accepting. They even liked Audrey the first time Mariah brought her home to meet them , which was nice, because she was definitely nervous about it. It’s also nice that they like her since, you know, they’re getting married. The two ladies met while attending Westminster College in Salt Lake City, and Mariah has said that she had a crush on Audrey before she even came out. They moved to Chicago together last year , and they really do seem to be ridiculously in love. And at the Women’s March last month in Washington D.C., Mariah popped the question. She gave an interview to People about the big news , and she explained that she chose to the location because “We had just started dating when we came for the first time two years ago and it was such a special time for us that I wanted to propose there.” She said that she “can’t exactly pinpoint” the moment she knew Audrey was the one, “but it was pretty early on.” “There are a lot of things about Audge that I am so in love with and I knew that I wanted to love those things for the rest of my life,” she gushed. “She made me a better person and continues to make me a better person.” As for the big moment itself, Mariah recounted that “We were in the middle of where everyone was marching and I was trying to get the ring out of my pocket, where it was stuck.” “I think Audrey was fixing her hair, but I just got down on one kneww and said some sweet things that neither of us can really remember because we were so caught up in the moment.” After that, “She was really sweet and started crying and I was crying and then I put the ring on her, got up and gave her a kiss and someone around us goes ‘Did she say yes?'” “And she totally hadn’t yet!” “Then she said ‘I do! I do!” and then realized that was the wrong thing to say and then said ‘Yes!'”, Mariah continued. “She’s such a sweetheart. The ring is absolutely perfect, if I do say so myself.” It’s been about a month since they got engaged, so how are things going now? “Our friends and family have all been so excited for us!” Mariah said. “I actually think my dad almost cried! He really likes Audrey.” “All of our friends have been so sweet and offering to help and our families are obviously excited to share their input,” she added. Speaking of family, Meri has been very vocal with her excitement about the engagement. She shared Mariah’s interview on Facebook and along with it, she wrote “You guys, have you heard?” “I am SO excited for my girls (even though they hate being referred to as my girls lol!) Mariah Brown and Audrey Kriss!!” “Wishing them all the best forever and always!!” she finished. Robyn, Kody’s fourth wife, tweeted “We are so excited! We love them both so much and they are a wonderful couple.” View Slideshow: Meri Brown: 19 Shocking Facts About the Sister Wives Star! Kody and his other two wives, Janelle and Christine, haven’t publicly commented on the news yet, but we hope they’re just as excited. Congratulations, Mariah and Audrey!

Seriously?!? Home Depot Bomb Threat Turned Out To Be A Man “Fixing To Blow Up” The Bathroom

Source: Alan Schein Photography / Getty Home Depot Bomb Threat Was Just A Misunderstanding You really gotta watch what you say when you’re out in public, and this story proves just that…in the most ridiculous way possible. Police were called to a Home Depot  in Wichita, Kansas after it was believed that a man was making a bomb threat while shopping in the home improvement store. The 911 audio was recently released by Sedgwick County Communications, in which the caller tells the operator that someone may have made a bomb threat, according to reports from  KWCH . “We just had a customer here made what may have been a bomb threat,” the caller told the police. “He said, uh, somebody told me there’s a bomb in here and you need to leave the building. He said it three times.” Staff was alerted to the possible “bomb threat” after a person overheard the man talking in the store’s restroom. However, authorities learned later that the threat was actually just a euphemism used by a man who reeeeally had to use the bathroom. “You all need to get out of here because I’m fixin’ to blow it up,” is what the man allegedly said that tipped off fellow consumers.  A fellow witness to the bomb about to be dropped in the bathroom believed it to be a joke and laughed at the man, while police were able to track the man down and clear up the serious misunderstanding. Apparently, this isn’t the first time an incident like has occurred before. Back in November, one man in New Orleans was arrested after he allegedly threatened to blow up Willie’s Chicken Shack, but claimed that he actually said he was going “blow the bathroom up” in the same way the Home Depot customer meant. Arthur Posey, the man in question, faced two charges of communicating false information of planned arson.

BOSSIP Exclusive: Russell Hornsby Talks Exoneration Efforts On “Proven Innocent” And Playing Strong Black Husbands [VIDEO]

Source: Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images for SCAD aTVfest 2019 / Getty “Proven Innocent” Airs February 15 on FOX Over the weekend, Bossip had a chance to take part in SCAD aTVFest in Atlanta, where we had the opportunity to screen the first episode of FOX’s new show “Proven Innocent,” which just so happens to star one of our favorite actors, Russell Hornsby . Check out our interview with Hornsby below, then watch a First Look at the show. BOSSIP: Tell us about your role in “Proven Innocent” and what drew you to it? Russell Hornsby: “My character Ezekiel Boudreau, Easy for short, you know what drew me to him was the character himself, he’s a lawyer who is doing right by his family, who is doing right by his community, but still essentially struggles with finding what his purpose is. In what he did with freeing this woman Madeline Scott, he found himself and he found his purpose, he found his passion and his drive — to help people. It also gave me, it gave Russell, an opportunity to bring another kind of manhood on display. And that was important to me. This man who was bright and intelligent, still stands strong and tall, also loves his family, loves his his wife. You know, I’m a throwback. So like I said I was raised in the time when both men and women were made of steel. A mentor friend of mine laced that on me a few years back. It means different things at different times but the imagery is now we can be that, but also that we are malleable. We’re not stubborn. The fact that we’ve gone to school. We are educated and we understand our culture and who we are. That we know how to love our women and that we can be passionate and sensitive and engage and all of that. We still have the steel that’s present though. But I’m still an upright man. So I want to show all of that. BOSSIP: “That is also true for the character that you played in “The Hate U Give,” Maverick Carter — as well as your character in “Seven Seconds.”” Russell Hornsby: “Look at the dynamic though. We’re talking three, even four if you look at “Lincoln Heights,” we’re talking about four different kinds of men.” BOSSIP: You’ve been married for a long time too. Russell Hornsby: “I’ve been married ten, we’ve been together fifteen. So look at that dynamic, we have this brother who has been to prison, a brother who is a police officer, a brother who loses a child, now he’s diminished but he doesn’t lose his manhood. That’s important. Then you have Ezekiel Boudreau, with the same thing. Those characterizations are important. The representation is important and I’lm all for that. As an actor and as an artist, I know how to be malleable and change and transform because I’ve been surrounded by all kinds of men. All different kinds of men raised me and stuff like that so that’s why I feel that way.” BOSSIP: Any Oscars favorites? Do you feel like the Academy has done a better job about the diversity of nominations? Russell Hornsby: The reality of it is that, people will get what’s coming to them and what they deserve and what they’ve earned and I think it’s constantly important that, yes we do these awards, but the more important thing is for the work to speak. And is the work a work of distinction. That’s my kind of submission, I can look at the work and the people nominated and be lauded and celebrated, but the work not be there, so therefore you can’t engage in who should and who will win, you just have to ensure that the work will stand and that’s how I roll. We love talking to Russell Hornsby and can’t wait to watch this newest project! “Proven Innocent” airs at 9pm EST/PST on FOX. Hit the flip for a first look at “Proven Innocent”
