Beauty Entrepreneur’s Daughter Becomes Youngest CEO To Have Products Featured At Target

Read the rest here:

B eauty entrepreneur Courtney Adeleye —the woman behind the brand The Mane Choice—has broken barriers in entrepreneurship and her 5-year-old daughter is following in her footsteps. According to Black Enterprise , Adeleye’s daughter Lily Adeleye recently became the youngest CEO to have her company’s products sold at Target. “Being the first Mother/Daughter duo to hit shelves in one of the largest retail stores in the world is still surreal to us. It’s history.” @CourtneyAdeleye https://t.co/2I57JcL8j3 — Black Enterprise (@blackenterprise) November 1, 2019 With the help of her mother, the youngster cultivated a brand dubbed Lily Frilly. The brand was created to empower young girls. Lily Frilly sells a variety of products including backpacks, dresses, lunchboxes and bows which can now be found at Target. “From the time Lily was 3, I knew then she had a business mindset. At an early age, as she watched me build a successful business from the ground up, it exposed her to many possibilities and goals, so with that, we didn’t wait until she was an adult to help her pursue them,” Adeleye told the news outlet. “Many people don’t understand the importance of instilling ‘the NOW’ into children. Not in all situations do you have to wait until you’re older to pursue your dreams. Lily Frilly believes that children have the ability to meet their full potential at an early age and we hope people see our story as an inspiration to be innovative and step outside of the box.” The mother-daughter-duo is also using the brand as an avenue to create spaces for mothers and their children to connect by hosting kid-friendly networking and empowerment events. Young Black entrepreneurs are landing major deals with national retailers. 12-year-old business owner Gabrielle Goodwin —who founded GaBBY Bows— landed a deal with Target to have her products sold at 74 of their stores across the country. Earlier this year, 18-year-old beauty entrepreneur Zandra Cunningham inked a deal with the retailer to sell her brand’s beauty box in their stores.

Vicki Gunvalson Sues Kelly Dodd: That Loser Defamed Me!

We have some real drama between two cast members on The Real Housewives of Orange County. We’re talking about some real serious legal drama here. In a surprising turn of events, Vicki Gunvalson has filed a lawsuit against her fellow Bravo colleague, Kelly Dodd, accusing her rival of making defamatory statements toward her. According to documents filed on November 1, Gunvalson is irate over allegations hurled in her direction by Dodd, most notably such quotes as: You prey on older people , You are a con woman  and You engaged in fraud . Initially, Vicki included Bravo and its parent company, NBCUniversal, in the complaint — but she later dismissed both the network and the company from the lawsuit. We’ve obviously heard of plenty of Real Housewives getting all angry over what someone else said on air or in some interview about her. But this is the time we’ve heard of actual legal action being taken in response. The 57-year old Coto Insurance CEO claims the allegations Dodd made are false and that they could “damage her reputation and livelihood,” negatively affecting her career outside of the series if the network airs them on national television at any point in the future. To be clear, the episode during which Dodd says these things about her foe has not yet aired. Gunvalson is seeking an injunctive relief and damages, stating that she doesn’t want the entire episode to be pulled from the air. However, she is demanding that producers remove the remarks Kelly made about Vicki being a “con woman” from the installment in question. This lawsuit, of course, is brand new. But tension between Vicki and Kelly has been lingering for several months. Dodd told Us Weekly in August that she will “never, ever, ever” be friends with Vicki after she accused her of doing cocaine during season 13. Kelly pushed for Vicki to be fired at the time. “I think that she uses everybody as a story line. She doesn’t really have anything in her life,” Kelly said last year, adding: “You know, her kids are gone, her grandkids are gone. It’s just her — what are we going to watch her and [fiancé] Steve [Lodge] drink wine on the couch?” Gunvalson was demoted to a “friend” role for season 14. But this didn’t stop her and Dodd from engaging in several arguments . “If Kelly had a job and went to work every day like I do, she wouldn’t have time to constantly throw stones at others,” Vicki said in August. “She really needs to worry about herself.” We can also now confirm that The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion will be filmed next Friday, November is 8. Both Dodd and Gunvalson are expected to attend. View Slideshow: Kelly Dodd: Vicki Gunvalson is a Freaking Psycho Pig Bish C–t!!

Rudy Boesch, Legendary Survivor Contestant, Dead at 91

Rudy Boesch, one of the best-known contestants in the history of Survivor, has died after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 91 years old. Boesch, a breakout star during Survivor’s very first season, was a former Navy Seal. He was cast back in 2000 at the age of 72, finishing the season in third place and quickly became a fan favorite due to his lovably cantankerous persona.  Tweeted Rudy’s ally from that memorable run on the series, after learning of his death: “Ours was an interesting bond, Dear Rudy! You and I helped open minds and undermine predjudces [sic]. While your time here has passed, you will remain loved and iconic, dear friend!” Rudy served in Vietnam and earned the Bronze Star Medal for heroic action. He retired from the military in 1990, a decade before becoming the oldest player to ever compete on Survivor. That first season, of course, was such a huge hit that CBS has since ordered 37 more. After the debut season of Survivor, Rudy made an encore on Survivor: All-Stars in 2004. Boesch married Marjorie Thomas in 1955, and they had three kids. They remained married for 53 years, until her death in 2008. During season 1, Boesch’s closest friend was Hatch, the openly gay corporate trainer who ultimately won the show. It was an unexpected alliance… to say the least. “Rudy Boesch and I both served our country in the military: he in the Navy, and I in the Army,” Hatch told People Magazine, adding: “But Rudy also served our country as an example of honesty and open-mindedness by respectfully engaging and aligning with me, an openly homosexual man, to play Survivor on the world stage.” Survivor: All Stars contestant Rob Cesternino also recalled his friendship with Boesch to People. This is what he said: Rudy was my roommate for weeks on our trip to Argentina after we both were voted out during Survivor: All-Stars. I would hang on his every word because he was would tell and re-tell all these amazing stories with his unique combination of brutal honesty and a razor-sharp wit. I’ve never met anybody who could ever make me laugh as much as Rudy. Funeral arrangements for Boesch have not yet been announced. He’s the latest ex-Survivor star to pass away, following Jenn Lyon, who placed fourth on Survivor: Palau, who died in 2010 after a six-year battle with breast cancer. Original Survivor contestant BB Andersen passed away of brain cancer in 2013 at age 77. In 2014, 26-year-old Blood vs. Water contestant Caleb Bankston was killed in a railway accident. Survivor Gabon contestant Dan Kay died in 2017. And Survivor: China’s Ashley Massaro died of suicide earlier this year. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

How YOU Doin’?! Nicki Minaj Mrs. Pettyily Pulverizes ‘Demonic’ Wendy Williams

Source: Patricia Schlein/WENN.com/NBC/Getty  Nicki Minaj Mrs. Pettily Slams Wendy Williams Over Talk Show Host’s Comments Mrs. Petty is well— being petty . Nicki Minaj had yet another episode of “Queen Radio” this week and she SLAMMED Wendy Williams on the show over comments Wendy made about Kenneth Petty. As previously reported Wendy snarkily said that Nicki married a killer” and a “sex offender” while offering her congratulations on her recent nuptials. Kenneth Petty is a registered sex offender in New York and reportedly was convicted of attempted rape in 1995. He also served seven years for manslaughter after pleading guilty to the shooting death of a man in 2002. According to Nicki, Wendy’s comments crossed the line and she ethered the host as “demonic” and vicious” on Queen Radio. “It’s not about doing your job,” said an angry Onika. “There are people who report the news and there are people who do it with an evil intent in their heart, viciousness. And I pray for you because I know you’re hurting and I know you must be sick and humiliated.” “I didn’t know that in our society, you have to be plagued by your past. I didn’t know that people can’t turn over a new leaf. I didn’t know that your viciousness and evilness was this deep-rooted.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Barbie (@nickiminaj) on Nov 1, 2019 at 2:29pm PDT That’s not all, Nicki also brought up Wendy’s nasty Kevin Hunter split and noted that his baby news with Sharina Hudson. According to Nicki, Wendy herself paid for the baby to be delivered considering that Kevin paid for his alleged mistress’ lifestyle with Wendy’s money. “When a woman isn’t really being loved at home, the viciousness is a different type,” Nicki said. “So I really wanted to pray for you today, because look at where you are now in your life. Look at what age you are. You’re sat up there being vicious all this time, and paid for that man’s mistress all these years. You paid for her shopping sprees, you paid for her hotels, you probably even paid for her GYN bills, you paid to have that baby delivered, hoe.” “How you doin’, stupid?!” Nicki’s Queen Radio episode also included Nicki calling Wendy “demonic” and telling her to ask for “forgiveness.” “I know we’re human first, we’re human before we’re celebrities, we’re human before we’re personas. And I know you must have gone through a lot. But you are demonic, and that’s why this stuff unfolded. If I were you, I would go and pray, ask for forgiveness. You can report the news—people do it all the time—without the level of viciousness and trying to play dumb and doing all this nonsense.” Later gospel singer Tasha Cobbs Leonard stopped by to pray over Nicki’s Barbz.

Source: PAUL RATJE / Getty Beto O’Rourke Calls It Quits On 2020 Presidential Race Beto O’Rourke has officially announced he is withdrawing from the 2020 presidential race. “Though it is difficult to accept, it is clear to me now that this campaign does not have the means to move forward successfully,” O’Rourke wrote in a statement released on social media. He entered the race earlier this year, nearly defeating Texas incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz in the 2018 midterms but struggled to gain traction in the massive Democratic primary field.   I am grateful to all the people who made up the heart and soul of this campaign. You were among the hundreds of thousands who made a donation, signed up to volunteer or spread the word about this campaign and our opportunity to help decide the election of our lifetime. — Beto O'Rourke (@BetoORourke) November 1, 2019 On Friday, an emotional O’Rourke addressed a group of supporters after the news broke saying: “This has been the honor of my lifetime,” he told them. “I love you all and I know that I’ll be seeing you down the road.” Meanwhile, Cheeto In Chief (of course) reacted to the news and slammed Beto for quitting “like a dog.” “When Beto quit like … he quit like a dog. I said, ‘See people think this is easy, this isn’t easy,’” the president said at a rally hours after O’Rourke stepped down. “He was a nasty guy. He had a couple of policies that don’t work well in the state of Texas. He was against religion. He was against you having a gun, and he was against oil.” SMFH!

Former Georgia Cop Sentenced To 12 Years For Killing Naked, Unarmed Anthony Hill

Source: Mint Images / Getty Former Georgia Cop Sentenced To 12 Years In Prison Anthony Hill Death The former Georgia police officer who killed Anthony Hill has been handed down a sentence. Former Officer Robert “Chip” Olsen was sentenced to 12 years in prison Friday for the killing of Hill, a mentally ill, unarmed and naked black man in 2015. CNN reports that DeKalb County Superior Court Judge LaTisha Dear Jackson gave Robert “Chip” Olsen a 20-year term, with 12 years to be served in custody. Under the sentence, Olsen is prohibited from working in law enforcement, possessing firearms or profiting from the case. Prosecutors were hoping for a 25-year sentence with five years probation, but Judge Jackson noted the emotion Olsen had during the trial. “Many might have thought you were stoic and void of emotion,” the judge told Olsen according to CNN. “From the time opening statements started, I saw the tears that you’ve had. I saw how you replayed March 9, 2015, in your head.” Mind you Olsen was NOT found guilty of murder , he was found guilty of aggravated assault, making a false statement, and two counts of violation of oath, but acquitted on two felony murder charges. A jury in DeKalb County, Georgia, has found police officer Robert E. Olsen not guilty on murder charges in the shooting death of unarmed veteran Anthony Hill. Olsen was found guilty of four lesser charges. https://t.co/Mk3oPo2Brh — CNN (@CNN) October 14, 2019
