A Lil’ Positivity: Bodega Workers Save Bronx Teen From Brutal Attackers

Spencer Platt/Getty Images A Possible Death Is Stopped In Its Tracks A group of bodega workers are being hailed as heroes for preventing what could’ve been another Bronx teen tragedy on Tuesday. According to 4 New York , surveillance cameras show a teen boy running into the Bronx bodega for help, while several other teens chase him. The kid tries hiding in the back of the aisles, according to the video, but the mob ends up finding him. Witnesses say that four of them attacked the boy, kicking him in the head, while more teenagers looked on. It was at this very moment that the bodega owner Edward Lara and others swooped in to save the teen’s life. “The little kid came here asking for help,” Lara said. “He said ‘please help me they’re going to kill me.’” Lara said that he was worried about his safety, but he couldn’t help but think of a similar incident that happened in the Bronx not too long ago. Back in June, 15-year-old Lesandro “Junior” Guzman Feliz was brutally murdered at another Bronx bodega just three miles from Lara’s bodega. In Junior’s case, nobody came to his aide when he was being attacked, at least not in a way that might’ve saved his life. The whole incident caused major outrage on social media sparking the #JusticeForJunior hashtag. According to 4 New York, in Tuesday’s attack, one of the assailants fired a gun on the street right before chasing the teen victim into the bodega. The attacker’s shot struck an innocent bystander — a 50-year-old man who is expected to survive. The teen is also expected to survive after being saved by the bodega team. “They’re heroes,” Lara said of his workers. Police said a 15-year-old  has been arrested in connection with the attack on Tuesday. They add that they are still looking for the others who were involved.

It’s Official! Martin Lawrence And Will Smith Confirm That Bad Boys III Is On The Way [Video]

Bad Boys for life! After years of chatter and teasing a long-awaited second sequel to the 1995 film, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have come together to officially confirm that Bad Boys 3 (or Bad Boys For Life , as it is tentatively titled) is on the way! It’s not clear how far along the film team is into production, however, seeing these two together for a formal announcement probably means that principal photography is starting soon, if it isn’t already underway. Of course, that’s just a speculation. How excited are you for another installment in the Bad Boys series? Todd Williamson/Getty Images/Instagram

Bad Girl’s Club Alum Shannade Clermont Pleads Guilty To Raiding Dead Man’s Bank Account After Paid Date (Exclusive)

NEW YORK, NY – FEBRUARY 13: The Clermont Twins sit Front Row at The Blonds Runway show at Spring Studios on February 13, 2018 in New York City. (Photo by Aurora Rose/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images) Victim’s Sister Accused Shannade Clermont Of Helping To Kill Her Brother Reality starlet Shannade Clermont admitted that she treated a deceased man’s debit account as her own personal piggy bank when he died after what the feds called a “prostitution date.” Clermont pled guilty to one count of wire fraud Thursday in Manhattan Federal Court. As her twin sister Shannon sat in the front row, the former “Bad Girl’s Club” cast member and Yeezy model said she stole her victim’s debit card in order to go on a nearly six-month-long shopping spree and racking up about $20,000 in fraudulent charges. “I knew my conduct was illegal and wrong,” Clermont, 24, clad in leather pants, a linen shirt and platinum blonde wig, told the judge after admitting that she “knowingly and willingly executed a scheme” to defraud. Clermont had initially faced four felony charges, but under a deal with the government, she only pled guilty to one charge and had the others dismissed. Although wire fraud carries a sentence of up to 20 years, the judge told Clermont that the government agreed to a sentence of 12-18 months in federal prison, restitution and up to $55,000 in fines. The model was not accused of being responsible for the victim’s death, something that incensed the more than a half dozen family members at the hearing. “My entire family I lost because of you!” the victim’s sister raged at Clermont as the twins passed by the family after the hearing. Clermont did not respond. Clermont Twins outside of Manhattan Federal Court. Photo by Jennifer H. Cunningham The sister, who asked not to be identified, said that her entire immediate family died following her brother’s death. Her father died of a heart attack three months to the day after her brother’s passing, and her mother died of cancer three months after that. “I will never forgive her for that,” the sister said, her eyes welling with tears. “I stand here as the sole member of my family.” Others in court with ties to the victim questioned why Clermont didn’t do more to help their loved one as he expired. “There was a possibility that when he got sick, all she had to do was pick up the phone and call 911,” family friend Pat Argenti told BOSSIP. “She could have saved his life. The heartlessness of this human being to just walk out – she’s an animal.” Clermont will be sentenced in February 2019. The twin declined to comment outside of court, but her lawyer Jeffrey Lichtman said that she regretted her crimes and wanted to move forward. “This is a sad day for Shannade,” Lichtman told BOSSIP. “She is remorseful for her conduct. Everybody feels bad, but we know she’s not responsible for his death.”

So Sad: Gregg Leakes Wrote A ‘Goodbye’ Note To NeNe Before Undergoing Cancer Surgery

DJDM/WENN.com So sad… Gregg Leakes Wrote NeNe Leakes A “Goodbye” Note Gregg Leakes will share intimate details about his bout with cancer on Sunday’s “Real Housewives Of Atlanta” season 11 premiere. As previously reported while details haven’t been released about what type of cancer he’s battling, NeNe previously told Bossip on WE tv that Gregg underwent surgery to remove cancer and is sticking to a vegan diet. Now Bravo’s released a clip from the upcoming episode, and in it, Gregg’s detailing going under the knife. According to Gregg, the surgery was so dire that he had to have surgery the EXACT DAY he was diagnosed… “I guess the scariest part about all of this is when we got to the hospital and the doctor saying that we need to do surgery on you tonight or you ain’t going to make it,” Gregg says. “And so I went over and prayed to God and I told Him, ‘If it’s time, let’s go. I don’t fear death, I don’t want to go. If my work here is finished here, take care of them, let’s go.’ and he penned a heartfelt letter to NeNe in case he didn’t make it out alive. “I wrote a note to my doctor and I told him to give it to you if I didn’t come out…Writing that note was the hardest thing I ever did in my life.” You never know what’s in you until you at that door,” Gregg reveals in the episode. “I never thought I had it in me to fight cancer. Now, I want to beat cancer’s a**.” WOW! Can you imagine writing a goodbye note to your loved ones?! How scary… According to Gregg, he couldn’t have battled cancer without his real housewife by his side. You have been my light. I couldn’t do this without you. I couldn’t. I wouldn’t even try. So I want to thank you, baby.” NeNe previously told fans that Gregg’s cancer has been especially hard because it’s changed his attitude. When people are sick, is it normal for them to be mean — NeNe Leakes (@NeNeLeakes) October 7, 2018 They talk mean to the person that’s helping? So stressful — NeNe Leakes (@NeNeLeakes) October 7, 2018 We’re glad to see that he’s in better spirits. Sunday’s premiere looks like it’ll be pretty emotional, but fans will also meet the newest housewife Shamari Devoe when it airs this Sunday at 8 p.m. on Bravo. Will YOU be watching???

His sauce repertoire isn’t any more impressive, and on the latest episode of Hot Ones , Yachty reveals that he’s never tried hot sauce in his life! “I was always curious about, like, how does hot sauce work? Growing up I used to wonder, ‘If I touched it, was it hot?’” he asks during the episode. As you can probably imagine, Lil Boat’s first experience trying hot sauce didn’t exactly go over well–especially on a show that’s too spicy for some people who’ve been eating spicy food their whole life.

BACARDÍ ‘Liberate Your Spirits’ Halloween Bash with Ciara and Swizz Beatz in Brooklyn   Ciara Courtesy of BACARDI   Last night,  BACARDÍ  hosted its  Liberate Your Spirits  Halloween bash, where guests left behind their inhibitions to do what moves them. At the epic event, guests tapped into their celestial and sinister spirits as they enjoyed spooky BACARDÍ libations and killer performances from singer-songwriter  Ciara , rapper  Swizz Beatz , and DJ twin-sister duo,  Nina Sky .   Ciara , who just celebrated her 33 rd  birthday last week, is back in the music scene after a three-year hiatus and already climbing the charts with new hits “Dose” and “Level Up.” Last night, the ATL singer   dressed as Nakia, Lupita Nyong’o’s character in the Blockbuster film  Black Panther . Ciara and Swizz Beatz drew spirited crowds of party guests as they sipped on BACARDÍ Zombie cocktails and snapped photos in front of a BACARDÍ sign arranged from dead roses. As they got decked out transformations into their “sinister and celestial spirits”, guests enjoyed BACARDÍ Zombies – a Caribbean-inspired cocktail, made with BACARDÍ Superior and BACARDÍ Black and served in chilling tiki glasses – as well as creations like Rosemary’s Cocktail and the Jungle Bird. Courtesy of BACARDI The evening performances kicked off with a set from Nina Sky, followed by an epic performance by Ciara, complete with back-up dancers also dressed in  Black Panther  inspired attire. The singer and dancer performed both new and old hits, starting with her iconic fan-favorite “Goodies,” then going on to perform her current single “Dose.” Ciara ignited the crowd with the classic throwback “Tootsie Roll,” choreographing a dance that everyone joined. She encouraged guests to liberate their spirits before going on to perform her classic hit “1, 2 Step.”  To close out her performance, Ciara sang her new viral dance single “Level Up” to a roaring crowd. CiCi didn’t realize she was in for a surprise herself when BACARDÍ and Swizz Beatz presented her with a birthday cake onstage post-performance.  The crowd erupted in Stevie Wonder’s rendition of “Happy Birthday” as Ciara blew out the candles to a custom Halloween themed cake made by BCakeNY in Brooklyn. Closing out the evening on a high note, BACARDÍ collaborator and award-winning producer Swizz Beatz treated the crowd to exclusive music from his new album, Poison, dropping officially later this week.
