Remembering Trayvon Martin On What Would’ve Been His 24th Birthday [Video]

Source: Allison Joyce/Getty Images / Getty February 5, 2019, Marks Trayvon Martin’s 24th Birthday Today would have been Trayvon Martin’s birthday. The 17-year-old Florida teen who was gunned down in 2012 would’ve been 24-years-old today if his life wasn’t tragically cut short. His mother Sybrina Fulton recently spoke at Oregon State University and spoke on the need for unity. Sybrina who helms the Trayvon Martin foundation told students “we need to learn how to all get along together.” “The time is always right to do the right thing,” said Sybrina. “My disappointment, my sadness, my hurt, my pain, I put all of that in my foundation.” Trayvon’s being remembered today by several celebrities including Ava Duvernay who’s using his passing as a teachable moment about white privilege. When people ask me what white privilege is…. Imagine if this was a white boy in a hoodie with a bag of skittles who was just trying to walk home. https://t.co/ty8ogrzDtC — Ava DuVernay (@ava) February 5, 2019 Others are also pointing out the timing of Liam Neeson admitting that he wanted to kill a random black man after his friend was raped on what would’ve been the teen’s birthday. We are discussing Liam Neeson’s comment about wanting to kill any Black person the same time of Trayvon Martin’s Birthday. — Preston Mitchum (@PrestonMitchum) February 5, 2019 Wow. R.I.P. Trayvon Martin, we will never forget. Wishing a Happy Birthday to our Brother Trayvon Martin who would’ve turned 24 today. RIP. pic.twitter.com/xsYbclHmSn — COMMON (@common) February 5, 2019 Today Trayvon Martin should be turning 24. This is one milestone on a long list of “should haves” Trayvon will never get to enjoy We honor him by continuing to fight for justice, the fight for Black boys & girls — with purpose & intentionality, w/ love & courage.

Anna Faris Actually Congratulates Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger on Engagement

It is now official: Anna Faris is a better person than we are. Like, a far, far FAR better person than we are. On Sunday night, we learned that Chris Pratt and proposed to Katherine Schwarzenegger … and that she said yes! Along with a photo of his bride-to-be embracing him while showing off her diamond ring, Pratt shared this news on Instagram and wrote as an affiliated caption: Sweet Katherine, so happy you said yes! I’m thrilled to be marrying you. Proud to live boldly in faith with you. Here we go! For her part, Schwarzenegger posted the same image (below) and penned along with it: My sweet love. Wouldn’t want to live this life with anyone but you. While many celebrity gossip followers were celebrating this union, many others couldn’t help but wonder how Anna Faris must be feeling right about now. The actress was married to the actor for eight years and shared a son named Jack with Pratt. She must be so bitter, right? And jealous? And angry and just all kinds of annoyed, right? Nope. WRONG! “I’m so happy for you both!!” Faris wrote on Instagram, commenting on the 39-year-old actor’s post and simply adding: “Congratulations!” Faris and Pratt split in August of 2017, and it really does seem to be the most amicable break-up in Hollywood history.’ Each waived his/her right to spousal support and that agreed to co-parent Jack in such a way that their divorce settlement stipulates they live within a five-mile radius of each other until their son completed the sixth grade. We’ve never heard of that before. But pretty awesome, no? Back in October, Pratt and Faris reunited to celebrate Halloween with their son, with their dates also in attendance; Pratt with Schwarzenegger and Faris with boyfriend Michael Barrett. If only all stars could be this mature. (Then again, what would we ever write about if they were?!?) Just last month that, Pratt shared a lovely tribute to Schwarzenegger in celebration of her 29th birthday. It’s not as though the two have been hiding their romance from Faris or the public in any way. “Happy Birthday Chief! Your smile lights up the room,” Pratt wrote alongside a series of photos, concluding at the time: “I’ve cherished our time together. Thrilled God put you in my life. Thankful for the laughs, kisses, talks, hikes, love and care.” We send our best wishes to Schwarzenegger and Pratt, along with our best wishes in general to Faris.

DUI: Pleasure P Popped For Sitting Behind Steering Wheel While Slizzard On 34th Birthday

Source: Allen Berezovsky / Getty Pleasure P Arrested For DUI In Miami On Birthday Pleasure P was having a bit too much fun for his 34th birthday and ending up behind bars according to TMZ . P was in Miami ready to celebrate his born day and took to Instagram to thank his over 325,000 followers for wishing him well. He also noted that: “My birthday started off a little slow which is why I haven’t been posting the devil was trying to work, but I told his ass to go back to hell because I got some celebrating to do.” Just a few hours later Miami police spotted P weaving in and out of traffic in an SUV going over 100 MPH. Once officers pulled him over they say he reeked of alcohol and blew twice the legal limit once back at the station. Cops say that during booking P strangely asked them if he could call Shaq and Flo Rida. Not sure why exactly. Sounds like P will spend his birthday in the bing. Happy 34th, sir.

Totally Valet Question: J. Holiday And His Gucci Jacket Get Put To Bed Over “King Of R&B”

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty J. Holiday Responds To Jacquees And Crown Himself King Despite the fact that most of these new age singers don’t have the stats or the fans to warrant a claim of R&B supremacy, that certainly wasn’t going to stop them from crowning themselves. That didn’t exactly go over well with some of the OGs. It also didn’t go over well with has-been singer J. Holiday either. The former fedora-clad hitmaker (“hit” as in one, singular) had some harsh words for Jacquees and addressed who he thought the real kings of R&B were, including himself. But just before he adorned himself with self-congratulations, the universe, in the form of a woman off-screen, humbled the “Bed” singer… Gucci jacket or not, she couldn’t tell. She just wanted her car and thought J. Holiday looked like someone who could help her with that. Can’t blame her, it was a totally….valet…question. What do you think of this argument? Who really runs R&B among the men folks these days? Flip the page to see what Tyrese and Pleasure P had to say about all this.

Issa Wife? Did Nipsey Hussle Just Confirm That He FINALLY Put A Ring On His Eternal Girlfriend Lauren London

Source: Allen Berezovsky/Getty Images / Getty Nipsey Hussle Calls Lauren London His “Wife” Have Nipsey Hussle and Lauren London jumped the broom across Crenshaw into wedded bliss? Things certainly seemed that way when TMZ ‘s camera crew caught up to the Westside rapper and his girlfriend of many long years on Monday nigth. Nipsey got into a bit of a scuffle just outside West Hollywood hotspot Nightingale after an unfortunate case of mistaken identity. You know, regular rowdy club night isht. However, before all of that, the rapper paused and showed off his “wife” Lauren London one time for the cameras with a special birthday message for her: Happy birthday to this boss, phenomenal woman right here. To my WIFE to my girl, happy birthday! Awww, too cute! But that big W-word got some folks’ eyebrows raised. Did these two get married on the low? Granted, rappers use the word “wife” pretty loosely nowadays, so there really is no telling. What do you think? Is Lauren officially Mrs. Hussle? Allen Berezovsky/Getty Images/YouTube via TMZ

Happy Birthday Solàna! SZA’s Sexiest Moments

Source: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Today SZA celebrates her 28th year of life and we couldn’t let the day go by without wishing the budding superstar a happy birthday! Born in St. Louis, Missouri on November 8, 1990, Solàna Imani Rowe became the apple of America’s eye when she released her debut studio album, CTRL , last year. Debuting at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200, the critically acclaimed album took fans through a rollercoaster of emotions and really let us all in to who SZA is as a young woman…if nothing else, you walked away knowing she loves her late grandmother with everything in her. Songs like “Love Galore” featuring Travis Scott, “Garden,” and “Normal Girl” kept us singing, but everyone who’s anyone knows it was her standout track “The Weekend” that got music lovers hooked on Solàna. [ione_media_gallery src=”https://globalgrind.cassiuslife.com” id=”4241503″ overlay=”true”] She said the song isn’t about being a side chick, but women everywhere sang the song in that vain and some even criticized SZA for “glorifying” mistresses…which led to this tweet of clarification from the TDE songwriter: “My man is MY man Is YOUR man heard thts HER man too : thts 3 women ..Not two. all getting played. one opted out. No side chick .Sorry lol.” Boop! One way or another, millions of women related to the song, giving SZA her first no. 1, as “The Weekend” peaked at the top of the Hot R&B Songs chart. All in all, SZA gave us a great album and despite damage to her vocal cords, has continued to work hard and flourish. So, today we celebrate the young queen. Hit the flip for a gazillion of Solàna’s sexiest moments because—if you ain’t know—she got these boys crushin’… HARD hard.

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.
