In White Folks News: Tori Spelling’s Ain’t Isht Husband Abandons Her With Their Four Kids!!

Tori, you should have married up. Tori Spelling’s Husband Abandons Her Dean, you don’t abandon your wife just because you’re broke as a joke. According to Hollywood Life: Dean often did the family cooking, and now that he’s out of the picture, Tori is reportedly buying fast food for her children multiple times a week. “Tori’s been feeding her kids lots of junk food from McDonald’s because she’s too lazy to cook,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “She’s use to Dean doing all the cooking and now that he’s gone, her kids are nutritionally suffering. She refuses to learn how to cook. She goes to McDonald’s and other fast food places multiple times a week. She even sends her assistants out to pick up a treasure trove of fries for her kids. It’s just sad.” Poor Tori! She’s obviously feeling overwhelmed after Dean reportedly abandoned her with their kids: Finn, 16 months, Hattie, 2, Liam, 6, and Stella, 5. Perhaps she should find someone to help take care of them during this difficult time. Dean left after he and Tori had a blow out fight about Emily Goodhand‘s claim that she had sex with Tori’s husband, according to Star magazine. The fight was all about Tori wanting to keep tabs on him. “He’s furious that Tori is trying to monitor his cell phone, demanding he have a curfew and treating him like a child,” a source told the site. “Dean and Tori had a nuclear fight [about it], and Dean is staying at a buddy’s house, drinking and being irresponsible like some sort of overgrown frat boy.” She’s probably better off without him.

Struggle Ballers: Vince Young Files For Bankruptcy After Blowing $30 Million NFL Fortune

My how the mighty have fallen … Vince Young Files For Bankruptcy Vince Young, the former University of Texas and NFL quarterback from Houston who has been involved in a pair of lawsuits stemming from financial issues that arose during the 2011 NFL lockout, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Via Houston Chronicle reports: Attorney Brian Kilmer of Houston filed the petition last week in a Houston federal bankruptcy court on Young’s behalf, listing Young with estimated assets between $500,001 and $1 million and liabilities between $1,001,000 and $10 million. No specific details on Young’s assets and liabilities were immediately available. Over the last year, Young, 30, has been locked in a pair of lawsuits stemming from a $1.8 million loan obtained in his name during the 2011 lockout. A New York state court has granted a judgment against Young to Pro Player Funding, a New York company that made the loan, which along with interest has grown to more than $2.5 million, according to a Pro Player attorney. Pro Player Funding has made several efforts in a Harris County state district court to enforce collection of the judgment, but those efforts remain pending. In the wake of the New York case, Young sued a group that included his former financial adviser, Ronnie Peoples of Raleigh, N.C., and his former agent, Major Adams II of Houston, claiming that the defendants defrauded him and conspired with Pro Player Funding to obtain the loan and that Young himself never received the money in question. Lawyers in December said a settlement had been reached in the Peoples case, but that agreement has not been finalized. Documents filed in the Peoples case include a financial statement as of July 2013 that listed Young and his wife, Candice, with assets totaling $1.8 million and liabilities totaling $2.5 million, including the New York state judgment. Young’s assets included five cars, his home, NFL annuity and 401(k) funds and jewelry valued at about $200,000. While the state case continued, a Harris County district judge granted a temporary restraining order that prohibited Young from wasting or dissipating assets and limited him to $25,000 in monthly household expenses, including child support. Vince might want to see if The Cheesecake Factory is hiring now that he’s officially broke!

You Big Dummy: Man Popped For Assault After Posting Cops’ Photo Of Him On Facebook

When will folks learn to stop letting social media get them in trouble?.. Man Arrested After Posting Cops’ Photo Of Him On Facebook He must have secretly wanted to go to jail. According to Times Leader: If you’re wanted by the police, it’s probably not smart to post a police department’s “wanted” photo of yourself on your Facebook profile. But, that’s just what Anthony James Lescowitch apparently did. And he was captured 45 minutes later, Freeland police announced, fittingly enough, on the department’s Facebook page. The Freeland Police Department posted a photo of Lescowitch at 9:19 p.m. Monday, noting that Lescowitch, 35, was wanted for aggravated assault and numerous other charges. The post asked that anyone knowing Lescowitch’s whereabouts to call police at 570-636-0111 or 911.Less than two hours later, Freeland police posted another photo of Lescowitch, this time with the caption: “CAPTURED!!!!!! SHARES OUR STATUS ON FACEBOOK ABOUT HIMSELF, CAPTURED 45 MINUTES LATER.” Police said they noticed that Lescowitch shared their post about him on his Facebook page minutes after they posted it on theirs, and that he taunted police in his post as well. So, undercover officers used a Facebook profile of a fictitious attractive woman to engage in online conversation with Lescowitch through Facebook, pretending to be interested in meeting him. Lescowitch initially declined an offer to meet for a drink, but when an officer asked him where he was and said, “The least you can do is come out and have a cigarette with me,” Lescowitch agreed, police said. Sure enough, when undercover officers pulled up in a car at the location he specified, Lescowitch came out and was promptly arrested. Dude thought he was getting some box and ended up in one. SMH.

BOSSIP Exclusive: Lil Bibby Speaks On Pressure To Succeed And Working With Drake

19-year-old Chicago rapper Lil Bibby is probably the most buzzed about young rapper in the game right now. Thanks largely to the success of his song “Water” off his ‘Free Crack’ mixtape he’s currently on the receiving end of tons of media attention, something he’s struggling to get used to. BOSSIP caught up with him at his Atlanta mixtape release party at Treesound Studios and he opened up about how his newfound success has changed him and how, like the refrain of his popular song, he’s striving to keep his head above water. “I’m kind of forced to talk a lot now with the rapper stuff,” Bibby tells BOSSIP at his Atlanta mixtape release party. “So I’m kind of getting out of that.” As for any pressure he might feel over being dubbed the next to blow, for now he says it’s only made him more focused. “I can’t put out no more regular records, just playing around,” Bibby admits.”I gotta get in the studio and pick up, since the pressure is there to work on them classic-type records.” Whether he’s talking or rapping, the accolades over his voice, which has a particularly deep timbre for such a young man, keep pouring in. There’s also been a lot of discussion about what he looks like. When he’s introduced onstage by Treesound owner/manager Groove Chambers, he’s ribbed about his light skin, light eyes and curly hair — a combination that likely has record execs drooling over his potential to sell to girls in much the same way that certain other rappers have before him. Asked about steering clear of the “lightskinned ni**a” stereotypes, Bibby laughs, “What is the stereotype?” We tell him he’s got the potential to be billed as a sex symbol, that he may be expected to craft music that women will like. “No, I’ma talk about selling drugs,” Bibby laughs. “That’s what I’ma talk about. The girls – man, they like it. I don’t know if they like the music or me. I don’t know what it is, but they like it.” He’s in good company too. While he may be steering clear of light skin stereotypes he has already forged a good relationship with Toronto’s very own sex symbol, Drake and speaks of an upcoming collaboration that could be just what he needs. “Me and Drake may be working in the future,” he confirms. “I talk to him a lot, but you know he be busy. He just got off tour, so hopefully it’ll be soon.” While Lil Bibby has previously worked with fellow Chi-town rappers Chief Keef and Lil Reese, when we ask him how he’ll avoid running into some of the same legal issues that have plagued some of his counterparts he tells us he doesn’t smoke or drink and quickly dismisses any concerns. “I don’t move like that anyway. I try to keep everything legal,” Lil Bibby tells BOSSIP. “I try to dodge those problems so you probably won’t see me on the news doing anything.” At times he seems years older than the baby faced teenager he is, a quality he attributes to his work ethic. “A lot of people say I’m more mature, but I don’t know. I’m kind of a boring person,” Bibby says. “I don’t like to have fun like that. That’s probably why people call me mature, because I just like to work. I’m just working on a single. That’s what I think I need. I need a big single, a breakout single.” It’s definitely coming. Will you be listening???

Digital Discrimination: Harvard Study Shows Black Hosts Get Less Gwap Off Airbnb Than Non-Blacks!!!

This is discouraging. A new Harvard study shows there is some discrimination going on in the digital space , specifically on Airbnb, where black hosts have to charge less than non-blacks for comparable rentals. Via Valleywag reports : If you rent a room on Airbnb, odds are you know what your host looks like—their picture is featured front and center. A new report out of Harvard Business School crunched the data, and says this is totally fine, as long as you’re not black. The study, titled “Digital Discrimination: The Case of Airbnb.com ,” puts forth a pretty bleak premise. If you take two rental spaces, of the same general quality and in the same general area, the one owned by a non-black host will cost 12 percent more, on average: We find that non-black hosts are able to charge approximately 12% more than black hosts, holding location, rental characteristics, and quality constant. Moreover, black hosts receive a larger price penalty for having a poor location score relative to non-black hosts. These differences highlight the risk of discrimination in online marketplaces, suggesting an important unintended consequence of a seemingly-routine mechanism for building trust. It’s hard to pin down exactly, but the educated presumption is that black Airbnb hosts have to lower their prices in order to compete with non-black Airbnb users, simply because Airbnb users would prefer to not rent from a black host. The study doubts Airbnb is subject to any illegal discrimination liability, because otherwise it wouldn’t show all those black and white faces so prominently. In a statement to Recode , Airbnb, of course, dismisses the study: “ We are committed to making Airbnb the most open, trusted, diverse, transparent community in the world and our Terms of Service prohibit content that discriminates. The data in this report is nearly two years old and is from only one of the more than 35,000 cities where Airbnb hosts welcome guests into their homes. Additionally, the authors made a number of subjective or inaccurate determinations when compiling their findings.” Of course, this wouldn’t be a case of Airbnb employing discriminatory policies, or encouraging discrimination—at worst, they’re just facilitating it as a middleman. But it’s a reminder that the “sharing economy” isn’t a fist-bump feel-good utopia, as advertised—we share all our dirty prejudices, too. Guess there really is racism everywhere. Do you think the Harvard folks should widen their scope and use more updated data in order to test their theory?
