What In The Identity Theft? Chicago Woman Accused Of Posing As Taraji P. Henson

According to the Chicago Tribune , Chicago police charged 29-year-old Alicia Newby with a felony count of continuing a financial crime enterprise as a result of breaking into the Oscar nominee’s email and stealing her identification. It was Taraji’s manager who noticed the fraud of $4,000 and canceled the transactions that were in Taraji’s name but were being shipped to an address on the city’s south side. It’s unknown how the two knew each other and if any other Empire stars have fallen victim to her game, the Tribune noted. Newby, who is also 6-months pregnant with her seventh child, has been accused of having multiple victims racking fraudulent charges of more than $12,000. Authorities also began to look at her after she got into a fight with a mail carrier who refused to deliver the packages to her home due to suspicion of fraud.

In court with Newby crying in front of the judge, her lawyer claimed that his client suffered from bipolar disorder. The judge must have felt generous that day, releasing Newby on $10,000 bail. She will be back in court on August 8. Taraji has yet to make a public statement about the incident. RELATED NEWS: How Taraji P.

The Rock Lays The Smackdown On Eddie Murphy, Kevin Hart & Terry Crews Funny A**es | Extra Butter

View post:

On this episode of Extra Butter with Xilla Valentine – We stop in two locations, Hawaii and London to sit down with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham for their new movie Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw. The dynamic duo talks about crafting a new world inside the F&F universe and more. The Rock comments on a tweet that went viral sparking the internet to go nuts when someone asked who’s funniest? Kevin Hart, Eddie Murphy, Terry Crews or The Rock. Well, Dwayne channeled his old WWE persona to layeth the smackdown on all of their funny asses. The tweet was sent out a couple of weeks ago, a person by the twitter name “@RepliesBro” posed a ridiculous question that broke the internet. He asked, Who is funniest? Kevin Hart, Eddie Murphy, Terry Crews, and The Rock. Who is Funniest? pic.twitter.com/xPNLraLfkO — Bold Man (@repliesbro) July 13, 2019 The question sparked the large debate on twitter and the end result was Eddie Murphy becoming the number 1 trend on twitter. Terry Crews even chimed in saying Eddie Murphy by far. Eddie Murphy— by far https://t.co/a0RB7ViIU0 — terry crews (@terrycrews) July 14, 2019 But now we have The Rock’s take on this question, which we assume was just in jest, but after seeing Hobbs and Shaw, I think its clear The Rock is one of the best comedic actors of all time. So when I asked Dwayne Johnson about this tweet his answer was epic. “I don’t know if I want to be the funniest actor in the game, I just want to bring the funny when the time is right, but who is on that list?” As I started to explain to him, who made the list, he interrupts. “It’s going to be Kevin Hart, Terry Crews, It’s gonna be Eddie Murphy. It could be Killian Murphy. The only thing that matters is The Rock is the most electrifying man in all of entertainment and the most funniest guy walking God’s green Earth is going to kick all of their candy asses.” Lastly, The Rock opened up about his daughter joining WWE and working out at the performance center as he stopped by there last week to see her put in the work in becoming a WWE superstar. I love that she wants to get in the business, I love the business of pro wrestling, I grew up in it, and she grew up in it too. Dwayne goes on to say that he gave his daughter some advice about her progress and reminded her that she still has a lot of room to grow. “I said They’re adults and you are the youngest one. You started at 16 and she’s 17 now. She’s been training just under a year. You gotta be patient, it’s going to come. You’re gonna make mistakes, don’t worry about your timing right now. You just gotta go full speed and come from (The heart). I would have never have guessed that I would have a daughter at 29 and years later she is going to want to get into the same business of Rock Bottoms and suplexes and things like that it’s so cool.” Hobbs and Shaw shows Hobbs as a father and you can see the film when it hits theaters August, 2nd, 2019.

The Blast r eports: La La landed at LAX on Sunday and when photogs snapped the 40-year-old “Power” actress without her wedding ring. La La was sporting a black hoodie and black pants while smiling her way through the airport while on the phone. Our sources say La La has spoken to several divorce attorneys about how to navigate the end of her marriage with Carmelo. It’s unclear if she has hired one and if she is going to pull the trigger. Losing the ring could be a big step in the process. Despite Melo stating that he was on the yacht with friends and business partners, sleuths online discovered the free agent player was laying next to model Sara Smiri. — Photo: Getty

50 Cent Taunts Young Buck With IG Post of Trans Woman

Follow this link:

Source: Thaddaeus McAdams / Getty Even though Young Buck was a big part of G-Unit’s debut album Beg For Mercy it seems like his former boss 50 Cent is teaching him the meaning behind that album title these days. For months now the former comrades turned enemies have been trading barbs on social media but unfortunately for Buck the “Heat” rapper got all the ammunition he needed when a transvestite took to social media to call out Buck Marley for being in denial about their relationship . Just a few days after roasting Ja Rule and Irv Gotti for being denied entry into S.O.B’s, Fiddy once again turned his attention to Young Buck by bringing up his rumored sexual preference in a recent social media post. Taking to his IG page to let off another shot at the Memphis-Ten-A-Key rapper, 50 Cent posted a picture of a transgender woman in thigh-high boots apparently relieving herself on the street with a caption that read “Rare pic of Young Buck’s old lady LOL.” View this post on Instagram Rare pic of Young bucks old lady LOL#lecheminduroi #bransoncognac @piperboywilliams A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent) on Jul 23, 2019 at 9:56am PDT Why 50 decided to continue to cut ass on Young Buck is anyone’s guess, but one can only imagine how the Southside Queens rapper would’ve used social media to burn down Ja Rule and Murder Inc. at the height of their rivalry back in 2003. Buck for his part had dropped a few diss tracks aimed at his former boss dubbed “The Story Of Foofy” and “Foofy Freestyle” but both cuts have since been taken down from YouTube since. We guess 50 flexed some muscle.

Bossip   is reporting that the self proclaimed Queen of Media is powering through her separation from her husband as best as possible .

Source: Andrew Chin / Getty A$AP Rocky has been fighting for his freedom since being jailed in Sweden after an altercation with an overzealous fan. Now, the A$AP Mob star has been charged with criminal assault and faces up to two years in jail. TMZ reports : A$AP Rocky has just been charged with a crime after spending weeks in a Swedish jail … prosecutors just hit him with Assault Causing Actual Bodily Harm stemming from a street brawl in the country’s capital .. and if convicted he could spend 2 years behind bars. The prosecutor said A$AP will continue to be held in jail pending a trial … and the trial date has not been set, although it could be today. A rep for the prosecutor tells TMZ the trial will be held within the next 2 weeks. The prosecutor expects the trial will last 3 days. Two members of Rocky’s crew have also been charged with the same crime and they will also be held pending trial. The Swedish prosecutor just boasted he had access to more information than people on the internet. He said he’s reviewed video and also talked to witnesses, and determined the claims by Rocky and his 2 crew members of self defense and provocation didn’t hold water, despite the fact the alleged victim is the one who unrelentingly harassed and attacked Rocky and his crew first. The prosecutor in the case said in an update that he does not intend to seek the full two-year sentence but the final ruling ultimately comes down to what gets revealed in the upcoming trial. — Photo: Getty
