Six or so years ago, a friend in Canada posted a pic on my FB wall to say she found an advert of me promoting immigration in a Canadian newspaper. pic.twitter.com/QJ0nWpYNmQ — Shubnum Khan (@ShubnumKhan) July 28, 2018 Naturally I was shocked and… confused. I studied the pic and agreed that it was me. Now I didn't mind that I was promoting immigration in Canada but I couldn't understand why my face was in a paper all the way on that side of the world. pic.twitter.com/GBquWEFlek — Shubnum Khan (@ShubnumKhan) July 28, 2018 Keep flipping to hear how she ended up modeling for everything from skin discoloration creams, to dental practices.

Source: Lauren Beasley / Lauren Beasley Ms. Lauryn Hill is one of the greatest. Let’s get that out the way. Outside of her classic The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album, she has released rap tunes and Unplugged performances to get fans through life. Which is why it can be so disappointing when her shows take a turn for the negative. For example, Lauryn has already canceled several dates on her Miseducation 20th Anniversary Tour, including her Wednesday show in Charlotte, North Carolina, her Thursday show in Raleigh, her Sunday show in St. Petersburg, Florida, her August 2 show in Jacksonville, Florida, and her August 17 show in Bristow, Virginia. According to Tampa Bay Times , her Tuesday, July 31 date in Miami has been rescheduled to October 15, while her July 5 concert in Virginia Beach has been pushed back to August 15, according to The Virginia Pilot . Live Nation said the canceling and rescheduling was due to “unforeseen production issues.” All of this comes just days after a tragic show in Toronto where L Boogie was over an hour late and only performed for 45 minutes (for what was supposed to be a nearly two hour set). So disappointed in the Lauryn Hill concert tonight. Made fans wait over an hour and then performed for 45 mins max. Could barely recognize the songs she attempted to sing. Cash grab for sure. Don’t waste your money on her! — Jennifer Azevedo (@WWJenn) July 19, 2018 *Sigh* Considering Lauryn’s long track record of being late, fans shouldn’t be surprised by this news. But that doesn’t stop us from going through our own grieving process! Swipe through for the six stages of grief when Ms. Hill hits us with the cancel button or is over an hour late to her own show!
Source: DANIEL SORABJI / Getty Ride-sharing apps Uber and Lyft have both suspended a driver after learning he that live streamed videos of hundreds of his passengers without their consent. The driver–identified by The St. Louis Post Dispatch as 32-year-old Jason Gargac–filmed his interactions with passengers using a small camera mounted on his windshield, and streamed the footage live on Twitch. Some of the conversations Gargac recorded revealed passengers’ full names, where they lived, and more according to reports. Uber announced that it ended its “partnership” with Gargac, while Lyft said it had “deactivated” his account. Unfortunately beyond that, the driver faces no legal repercussions for his behavior because Missouri has “one party consent” privacy laws–this means that only one participant in a conversation needs to agree to its being recorded. Crazy, right? “In regards to our policies, under our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service, we do not allow people to share content that invades others’ privacy,” a Twitch spokesperson commented. “If reported to us by the person whose privacy was invaded, we would take action under our Community Guidelines to remove the content.” A lot of people believe that this case highlights a major disconnect between existing privacy laws and modern technology; “When these laws were drafted and enacted, I don’t think any of these states could have envisioned what we have in this case, where you have livestreaming video,” said CNN legal analyst Page on Sunday. According to Gargac, the camera was primarily a security measure, saying he knew “if something happens, immediately there can be a response, versus hopefully you’ll find my truck in a ditch three weeks later.” He said the streams were “secondary” but added “I try to capture the natural interactions between myself and the passengers — what a Lyft and Uber ride actually is.” What would you do if you found out your Uber driver was live streaming your ride?!
Source: Kevin Tachman / Getty Iggy Azalea and Nick Young haven’t been together in over a year now, but thanks to social media, they can still see each other’s every move. We all know that Iggs loves to flaunt her ass-ets on the ‘gram, but let Nick tell, he’s the reason behind her recent thirst traps. The NBA star (who is currently back with his children’s mother Keonna Greene ) took to Twitter to get some stuff off his chest. Nick Young has seen Iggy Azalea recently and he’s going through it. Lmao pic.twitter.com/BalaF5e2HA — Apex Predator. (@drake_blakk) July 23, 2018 Let’s say Nick wasn’t throwing shade at his famous ex — his timing was impeccable. His tweets were posted just moments after Iggy posted yet another twerk video. Despite the petty moment, Swaggy P seems to be focusing on being a family man these days. He has since deleted the shady tweets. We’re assuming Keonna don’t play that. via GIPHY

A Lie Can Travel Halfway Around The World Wide Web While The Truth Is Putting On It’s Shoes.- (Mark Twain quote with some sauce on it) — Charlamagne Tha God (@cthagod) July 23, 2018 A 5-year old interview has been making it’s rounds on social media of the Breakfast Club host detailing how he was once accused of raping a minor in the early 2000’s. Charla revealed in the clip that he actually took the charge for his younger cousin who was just graduating high school at the time. But the “cancel Charlamagne” hole got deeper after a 2015 clip from his Brilliant Idiots podcast surfaced with C recounting the time he gave a woman Spanish Fly and had sex with her while she was wasted. Once the Internet got hold of the old clip, someone did some more digging and a found a VladTV interview from 2013 of the host describing how he hit a woman during sex back when he was a teenager. After weeks of getting blasted on social media, Charlamagne finally decided to address all the videos and ignorant comments he made in the past regarding rape culture. Jessica Reid , the young woman who accused the C Tha God of raping her when she was 15 years old (he was 22 at the time) has decided to take her case to South Carolina Supreme Court. The story is still developing.
