Source: Nagina Lane / iOne Digital Meagan Good’s longtime struggle with her eyebrows isn’t new to us because, like many of us, we’ve gone through it with her. Something as simple as eye browns makes a big difference on your face and if you’ve struggled with scare hair there, you understand why Meagan Good opted for a brow transplant. Following a 90s trend, The Intruder actress began plucking her eyebrows until they eventually stopped growing back. Good then tried tattooing, which worked for a while. But after years of the tattoo method, she noticed over time the lines began to spread. “The lines weren’t as defined,” she revealed. Always seeking the latest eyebrow innovation, she tried microblading. “That was fine too, but as I got older I realized that my face looked a little harsher and more tired when I had them that way.” Leading her to Dr. Champagne, a hair restoration surgeon, who transformed her one tattooed brows into the brows she rocks today. View this post on Instagram My eyebrows are finally coming along after my #EyebrowTransplant ! This has been such an eyebrow evolution journey lol, but finally starting to come full circle Eyebrows like a real little girl . No, but seriously after destroying my eyebrows at age 19, I'm over the moon with these results thus far. Special thanks to my guy, eyebrow specialist @DrJasonChampagne . And thank you to @DrJasonDiamond #Salute ! A post shared by @ meagangood on Apr 17, 2018 at 2:57am PDT Good found out about the procedure through Amber Rose. “I actually saw Amber Rose had got a transplant,” she revealed. “So I researched the doctor. I went and met with him, saw a bunch of before and after pictures I was like, ‘this is life.’” Explaining how it works, she said, “They take out like a small portion of the back of your hair, sew it back up. And then they take that little portion of hair, and it’s kinda like when men are losing their hair, it’s the same thing, put in your brows. But this guy, Dr Champagne is amazing because he specializes in brow shape for your face.” Despite its bloody appearance, Good says it wasn’t painful. “I was like sitting in the surgery and I was like, ‘Let me see what that looks like.’ But he was like, ‘No, I don’t think you should see with it open.’ I was like, ‘Just let me see. And he let me see and and I was like, ‘Oh, this is crazy. This is really cool.” Meagan has seemingly become the brow spokesperson for Dr. Champagne. In an interview with our sister site MadameNoire, Good opened up about her role in The Intruder and being celibate until marrying her husband Devon Franklin.

Twitter announced a new update allowing users to do such adding more flavor to your conversations on the social media platform. The update which is now has been rolled out across Apple iOS and Android devices will now all users to add up to four pieces of multimedia whether it be four photos, videos or a gif. When doing so, the original tweet will now be placed conveniently below so it doesn’t get lost in the conversation. When speaking about the new feature, Twitter broke down the process of coming up with the function and stated in a series of Tweets: “People come to Twitter to share their thoughts on interests, events, and news, and we wanted to give them more ways to express themselves.” “During the first usability test, we found it was challenging for people to quickly understand all the content in a Retweet with media. This was due to the layout; two large Tweets stacked on top of each other.” “To improve comprehension, we focused on creating hierarchy, prioritizing the author’s voice, and providing more context around the Tweet being Retweeted.” Next, we ran a second usability test, introducing a condensed inner Tweet that was styled similar to a pull quote. This was to help differentiate the two components of the Retweet. Participants reacted well to it.

Stay tuned!” That’s all fine and dandy, and it’s great that Twitter is listening to users but where in the world is the ability to edit Tweets after we hit send? — Photo: NurPhoto / Getty

While collaborative projects did not always come together in past eras they are easy to finesse in the digital age. One that most did not see coming is Danny Brown and Q-Tip . Complex did some digging and came up with a news piece treasure for fans of the Detroit Rapper. Dan recently shared a sneak peak look at his upcoming Highsnobiety story . While his post did not show the cover photo in question it did offer a vital piece of his upcoming project via a block quote. “After a trilogy of records that rank among the decade’s most critically acclaimed Rap releases, Danny Brown has both nothing and everything to prove. Returning to the public eye with a Viceland show and fifth studio album, the Q-Tip produced U Know What I’m Saying? , he is presenting a new version of himself: Danny Brown, serious craftsman and burgeoning elder statesman of Rap”. View this post on Instagram uknowhatimsayin? A post shared by Danny Brown (@xdannyxbrownx) on Apr 30, 2019 at 1:34am PDT Yes you read that right. The face of A Tribe Called Quest is overseeing a Danny Brown project. He detailed the need for a veteran with his credentials to guide him through what maybe his most important work of his career. “If I didn’t get help, with somebody to find a direction, I didn’t know what the f*** to do at that time,” he explained. “I knew I couldn’t make an album like [ Atrocity Exhibition ] again. This is the easiest one because you got someone like him you can put your trust into.” The story points out that ATCQ’s music has been in his DNA since being young as that was his father’s favorite group. Additionally The Abstract was the one who urged A-Trak to sign Brown to his Fool’s Gold label. U Know What I’m Saying? slated to be released later this year. El-P of Company Flow and Run The Jewels fame is the only guest to be confirmed as of yet. Photo: Getty

Way back in the year of our Lord two thousand and thirteen, a young former Disney star named Miley Cyrus was looking for a way to cut ties with her squeaky clean past. And she saw a golden opportunity during the 2013 VMAs. Yes, we’ve reached the point where some of our younger readers may not even remember Miley twerking all over Robin Thicke as a horrified crowd looked on. They also may not remember that at this time, bigotry and supervillainy were just side-projects for Donald Trump, and not his primary reasons for being. What do these two factoids of the Obama years have to do with one another? Well, in a newly-published interview with Vanity Fair , Cyrus reveals that Trump called her at her hotel in New York the morning after her now-infamous performance to tell her how much he enjoyed every racy moment. “I loved it,” Miley recalls the Donald saying. She was unable to quote him further all these years later, but we’re sure the Donald went on to creepily overuse all his favorite adjectives like “beautiful,” “fabulous,” and “amazing.” “And now he’s our president,” Cyrus added. From there, Miley went on to reveal that she never intended to flee the country if Trump got elected, as she stated during the 2016 campaign. Instead, she merely hoped to impress upon her fellow Americans the severity of the situation. “You know, I said I would move away if he became president. We all said a bunch of sh-t we didn’t mean,” Miley said. “Because we really thought: Maybe people will listen. Maybe people actually realize how detrimental this will be to our fucking country if this happens.” “Obviously they didn’t. But for me to move away—what the f-ck is that going to change? “As someone who is so proud of being an activist, am I going to feel proud of myself just running away from, and leaving everyone else here to live under, a completely racist, sexist, hateful assh-le? You can’t leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” But hey, it’s not all doom and gloom. Miley got married to Liam Hemsworth on New Year’s Eve, and she says she’s the happiest she’s ever been. So hey, if sh-t really hits the fan it should be easy for Miley to high-tail it to Australia!
