Source: Cindy Ord / Getty *Whitney Houston voice : Wendy, Wendy, Wendy. Once again dabbling in the land of messy, this time for some comments you made about an iconic gospel group — The Clark Sisters. On your show Wednesday, you brought up Snoop Dogg ‘s chart topping gospel album Bible of Love and instead of just ending on a positive note, you went and questioned whether The Clark Sisters ever got a #1 album. Your follow-up response was not pretty. A refresher below: Now, if you thought the good Christian folks (or music lovers in general) were going to let you say anything about a massively influential group, you thought wrong. Everyone from Michelle Williams , to Kirk Franklin , to Nick Cannon came knocking at your door. The Clark Sisters……one of thee most INFLUENTIAL groups of ALL TIME!!!!! Sampled, borrowed from, imitated by groups and singers of alllllllll genres!!! Most recently sampled by Jay Z on the album 4:44 on the song Family Feud. #FACTS — Michelle Williams (@RealMichelleW) April 18, 2018 I would be nothing without the CLARK SISTERS. I’m not even in the same category. I’m just now getting to where they started. Salute. — Kirk Franklin (@kirkfranklin) April 18, 2018 And Karen Clark Sheard ‘s daughter Kierra Sheard (also a great singer) was definitely available to defend her mom and aunties. Oh how your words have turned the messiness into a blessing. Outrage for your statements have peaked so much that a #BringOutTheClarkSisters hashtag started trending on Instagram. The movement is even helping The Clark Sisters’ album Live – One Last Time rise on the iTunes chart. See how God works Wendy. But in the spirit of forgiveness, let’s just take this as a “you know not what you do” moment. Social media on the other hand…they might need some time before they ride the forgiveness wave. Swipe through for some more Clark Sisters appreciation and Twitter reactions that prove Wendy messed with the wrong ones!
Source: Cole Burston / Getty People are continuing to be inspired by Drake ‘s “Nice For What” release and this time the art world is taking notice. Painter Richard Wilson caught a look at the music video and one image in particular inspired him to paint a whole wall. The image he saw turned out to be Yara Shahidi and the ironic thing is, Richard didn’t even know who she was before he painted the London mural. He had to ask folks on the gram about this woman who served as his muse. “Since then I find out she’s an amazing role model for young women in particular and has a huge following,” he said in an Instagram post. “It’s really cool cos this wall is pretty random, the path it’s on is used by parents taking their kids to school, cyclists, some alcoholics and dog walkers. Definitely not a place i’d have painted Yara if I knew. Excuse my ignorance not knowing who she was, but i learnt a lesson that you don’t always need to go big, it’s been a fixation for me lately tbh to find BIG walls only, but maybe the content is the key, just like everything always.” Despite Richard not knowing who Yara was, she definitely approved the painting. She reposted it on her page and now it’s been liked by thousands of people. Seems like all is well that ends well. You can check out the finished painting below, along with Richard’s touching words on the future generation!

A family in New York City is grieving tonight after the loss of their loved one. But the way they found out about the horrific murder is stunning – it happened while watching the news on TV. 26-year-old Brandy Odom’s dismembered remains were found in a New York City park. Her grandmother saw that the body was described as having a ‘Chocolate’ tattoo, one she thought was familiar. She called her daughter, Nicole Odom, who ultimately had the chilling task of having to identify her daughter. People.com reports: Everybody loved her,” Nicole told WABC. “I can’t even see how one person would want to do this to her. Brandy was friendly with everybody.” “Whoever did this to my daughter — I might not know who did it, the police might not know who did it, but the great God up above knows who did it,” Nicole said. “And you will be dealt with for your sins that you caused.” Patricia Smith, who found Brandy dead, told News 12 Brooklyn that she was walking her dog when she saw the torso partially covered with leaves. “As I went in the path and looked to the left, I saw something resembling a garbage bag,” Smith said. “But as I went by and looked back and looked again, I realized it was a body that was dismembered and then I just took off running.” Brandy, who was from N.Y.C., had worked as a security guard and wanted to become a city school safety agent, her mother told the Times. The pair last spoke in March. “She had ambitions, she had a game plan,” a neighbor told the paper. “She wanted to work and take care of herself.” If anyone knows anything please call and help us solve this heinous crime. 1-800-577-8477.

Source: Cheryl Chenet / Getty Toys “R” Us founder Charles Lazarus has passed away at the age 94 years old, just one week after the company announced it plans to shut down all U.S. operations. It’s quite possible Lazarus died of a broken heart. As Just Jared reports, he started the company back in 1948 when he was just 25 years old “in anticipation of the baby boom” and remained CEO until 1994—only to see it closing down in 2018, of course. The company said in a statement, ““There have been many sad moments for Toys ‘R’ Us in recent weeks, and none more heartbreaking than today’s news about the passing of our beloved founder. He visited us in New Jersey just last year, and we will forever be grateful for his positive energy, passion for the customer and love for children everywhere.” May Charles rest in peace.
