A student at the University of South Florida is breaking racial barriers and displaying #BlackExcellence at the institution. According to ABC Action News , Britney Deas was elected to become the student body president at the Tampa-based school, making her the first Black woman to be appointed to the position. USF students elect first African-American woman student body president https://t.co/0yOnlup2cx pic.twitter.com/2QmaS8QHKA — ABC Action News (@abcactionnews) March 14, 2019 The junior—who hails from Miami—has always had an interest in civic engagement. Her passion for advocacy led her to run for the student body president role at her school. Her win was historic; aside from being the first African American woman to be at the helm of the student government, she is the first woman in two decades to take on the position. For Deas, it’s all about representation. She hopes that her accomplishment inspires underrepresented individuals to change the status quo and boldly step into spaces that they’ve historically been locked out of. “Being the first African American female to hold the position is awesome. You know, I love to be that representation. Being the first female in 20 years is just as great because it shows that we’re moving forward,” she said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “If you want something, you go and you do it. You try and do it. There’s nothing stopping you but yourself.” Among the top issues on Deas’ agenda is combatting homelessness amongst the student population and creating resources for individuals battling with mental illness issues. She will be inaugurated next month and is slated to step into her role in May. Black students are rising up the ranks within campus groups and making history while doing so. In 2018, Kristine E. Guillaume was appointed to lead the Harvard Crimson making her the first Black woman to become president of the publication since it launched in 1873.

A youngster from the United Kingdom is the epitome of Black brilliance. According to the Daily Mail , 4-year-old Alannah George has made history as the second youngest member of Mensa; the world’s largest and oldest high IQ society. Four-year-old Alannah George earned an IQ score of 140 and was officially named an “intellectual genius.” pic.twitter.com/r089332vbB — MoorInfo (@MoorInformation) March 12, 2019 Alannah’s parents Nadine and Edmund —who are from Buckinghamshire—says that their daughter has always had a love for learning. She started talking at just seven months old and by the time she was 3-years-old she was reading books that were advanced for her age. She taught herself how to read before starting school. Alannah also has a passion for math and often opts to watch a math-focused YouTube show called Endless Numbers over tuning into cartoons. The youngster—who attends Windsor Castle’s St. George’s School—was given an intelligence assessment test earlier this year and earned an IQ score of 140 which led her to be accepted into the society. “It’s exciting and overwhelming. I want to make sure she achieves her potential and manages to perform to the best of her ability. She is so young but she lives and breathes academia. It was a scary realization when we got the results about how clever she is,” her mother told the news outlet. “I just want to make sure she reaches her full potential and is happy. That’s the main goal. I am in no way a pushy parent so we will support her with whatever she does.” The youngest person to be accepted into Mensa was Elise Tan-Roberts who became a part of the society at the age of 2 in 2009.

Source: South_agency / Getty Woman Fakes Her Own Death To Avoid Breaking Up With Boyfriend A 37-year-old woman from Wuhan–in central China’s Hubei Province–was recently arrested after it was revealed that she had faked her own kidnapping and murder in order to avoid having to break up with her boyfriend. According to Oddity Central , the woman surnamed Yu, had been dating her boyfriend, Lin, for a while, but she only learned that he was poor after visiting his home during the Chinese New Year. Apparently, this was something she just couldn’t get over, so she decided to leave him–but fearing that he would refuse her rejection, Yu devised a plan to make herself completely disappear. Shortly after returning from the disappointing visit to Lin’s home town, Yu disappeared from the couple’s dormitory at the Huangpi Jiahai Industrial Park, and a few minutes later, she called her boyfriend to tell him that she had been kidnapped by her ex-husband. “Come and save me, my ex-husband has kidnapped me. Come quickly! I think I’m on the highway already,” she said before abruptly ending the call. To make her kidnapping seem more believable, Yu then sent her boyfriend several text messages pretending to be her kidnapper, warning him that she would be killed if he dared call the police. She proceeded to follow up with even more texts, informing Lin that she had been killed and her body had was thrown in a lake. Unable to negotiate with the “kidnapper”, Lin eventually called the police. Local police started investigating surveillance footage in Wuhan and were able to track down Yu to a small motel in the Tenglong district. But, when they arrived on the scene, officers were shocked to find the alleged victim casually lying on the bed, watching TV. When questioned by police about her kidnapping, the “surprisingly calm” woman told them that she had recently found out that her boyfriend was poor, and that she had faked her own kidnapping and murder, hoping that he would just “give up” and move on with his life. Yu added that she had initially planned to trick her boyfriend into leaving the dormitory so she could sneak back in, pack her things, and then disappear, but after realizing that Lin had the only key to the place, she devised the kidnapping plan instead. According to the Wuhan Evening News, Yu has been detained by police for 10 days for disrupting social order.

Mama June has done a lot in her 39 years on this planet. She’s given birth to four lovely daughters, the youngest being a superstar and an absolute gift to this world. Yep, without June, we never would have met the delightful Honey Boo Boo , and can you imagine how much darker this world would be without her? June and her family were introduced to us all on Toddlers and Tiaras, but they went on to get their own reality show, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Child. Of course, that ended when June started dating a convicted child molester , so the things June has done haven’t always been good. More on that in just a moment. After a few years, someone thought it was cool to bring this reality show goldmine back into the spotlight, and that’s how we got Mama June: From Not to Hot. And it really was impressive how she lost so much weight . The show did really well, and it’s still on the air, so obviously people are interested in June. You know what June is interested in? Crack. According to a new report from TMZ, there was an incident at a gas station in Alabama on Wednesday, and the incident was … well, it wasn’t great. Someone called the police when they witnessed June and her boyfriend, Geno Doak, fighting, and the details aren’t super clear right now, but he was arrested for domestic violence. They were both arrested for felony possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. TMZ got a hold of the police report, which said that when Geno was being arrested for the domestic violence, an officer began to pat him down. He warned the officer not to put his hand inside of his pocket because “I don’t want you to get sticked or nothing.” That’s how the cops knew drugs were involved, and they did find a needle in his pocket, as well as one in the floorboard of their car on the driver’s side. They patted June down, too, and she had a glass pipe on her. When police searched the car more thoroughly, they found a pill bottle in the glove compartment with some kind of white substance inside. She admitted it was crack cocaine. Again, there aren’t many additional details at the moment, but we do know that June has since been released from jail. We know that because there’s audio of her trying to get her car out of impound without her driver’s license. She sounded frantic then, she was speaking very fast and she didn’t make much sense. Because crack cocaine is seriously no joke. This is all we know right now — June hasn’t made a statement, nor has anyone associated with her. We imagine more details will be coming soon, but from what we know so far … View Slideshow: Mama June: See Her Transformation Through the Years! Man, this is bad.
The death of Luke Perry has brought out the very best and very worst in the Internet. In terms of the former, we’ve been touched by the myriad of heartfelt tributes posted in honor of the late actor, who died of a stroke at the age of 52 back on March 4. In terms of the latter, however, we’ve also been disgusted by the way total strangers have taken former Luke Perry co-stars to task for the way they have chosen NOT to respond. We saw this with Jennie Garth, remember? The actress didn’t choose to pour her heart out on Instagram in memory of Perry and, as a result, many morons on this same platform jumped all over her . As if public mourning is somehow the only legitimate kind of mourning, you know? Garth, though, didn’t need The Hollywood Gossip to rush to her defense. She put these trolls in their place quite perfectly on her own, writing in response to the criticism she received for remaining silence in the wake of a tragedy. “Hey everyone … I chose to post a pic of my girls today,” she wrote after sharing an image of her daughters on International Women’s Day, adding: “Because they are my life. Because today is a day to celebrate all women. “It took a lot for me to want to celebrate anything. I thought about it and I know that’s the way my dear friend would have wanted it.” And then she wrote of Perry: “His kids were his life. And anyone who knew him knows that and knows he didn’t give a f*#k about social media. So please don’t assume or judge or make rude comments. “That’s really uncool. Sincerely, Jennie.” Incredibly, terrible people online also attacked Perry’s own daughter for the way she expressed her grief. And now Brian Austin Green can unfortunately relate to these incidents. On Thursday, Green posted a video promoting a live taping of his “…With Brian Austin Green” podcast at the high school where they filmed Beverly Hills, 90210. (Green starred on that beloved drama as the character of David Silver.) And a few Instagram users were appalled that he chose to promote something of his own, having not even mentioned anything about Perry in public prior to this video. “RIP Luke Perry! I’m not sure how you could do this so soon,” one dumb person remarked, adding: “I haven’t seen anything from you about his passing, maybe I’ve missed it somewhere. Pretty much everyone else had something to say. It’s just not the same without #LukePerry and it seems pointless without him. So sad.” Green, to his credit, remained calm and collected in the face of such unwarranted backlash. This is how he replied: Thank you for your words. Thank you to everyone for sticking up for me but it’s not necessary. Carrie, the passing of Luke is terrible. As was said by many, everyone grieves in different ways. If it’s too soon for you to attend what is meant to be a fun night for the fans then you don’t have to. Everyone should respect everyone’s process. Amen, dude. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam While Green didn’t honor the late actor publicly, WHICH IS TOTALLY FINE, many of his former 90210 costars remembered Perry with emotional messages on social media in wake of his passing. Here is what Ian Ziering wrote: Dearest Luke, I will forever bask in the loving memories we’ve shared over the last thirty years … God please give him a seat close to to you, he deserves it. And Jason Priestley: Luke was not only a star, he was an incredibly bright light that was extinguished far too soon. And that is why I, and so many others, are in so much pain today. May Luke Perry rest in peace.
