Usher is wasting no time being in these streets after his recent separation announcement from wife Grace Miguel. He’s already being linked to another woman! Rumors swirling around Hollyweird are saying Ursh has been being extra friendly with LHHMIA’s Amara La Negra. Amara has been guest co-hosting on The Real Daytime recently and she’s been out and about on the LA scene. This week the two met at a party and left together with a mystery woman in the back seat. What do you think transpired between Usher and Amara after the club? As we previously reported, Usher has been moving like a bachelor for the last few weeks. Hopefully he and Grace can divorce swiftly, it doesn’t look like old Ursher will be slowing down his revived party side anytime soon.

Demi Lovato is not shy about sharing photos of her massive cleavage online . And, as she’s made more and more clear in a handful of recent interviews, the singer isn’t shy about admitting that this cleavage is no longer reserved for the opposite sex, either. If a woman wants to fondle it, hey… Lovato might be down! “I’m very fluid, and I think love is love,” Lovato says in the new issue of InStyle, adding very simply: “You can find it in any gender. I like the freedom of being able to flirt with whoever I want.” The artist, of course, famously dated Wilmer Valderrama for six years. She was then linked to MMA fighter Guilherme “Bomba” Vasconcelos. But just because Lovato is yet to officially date a female, the artist has said many times now that she’s bisexual and would consider it . “I am open to human connection,” Demi said in her YouTube documentary, “Simply Complicated,” adding very basically in this video: “I love who I love.” Right now, however, Lovato is single. She is not actively loving anyone. But this doesn’t mean she’s sad or regretful or lonely or anything like that. “I’m not suffering because I’m alone,” she tells the magazine, explaining her evolution as follows: “There were many years I was in a relationship and I wasn’t learning about myself. Now I’m learning about what I like, what I need, and what I want.” In other words: Demi has matured. She’s just had to do it at times in the spotlight, which can be a challenge for anyone, let alone someone with a history of drug abuse and who has been diagnosed as bipolar . “You have to speak out about stuff. You have to use your voice for good,” the star says. This is certainly something Lovato has done, getting very deep and very personal with how she formerly abused her body . She continues: “I didn’t have anybody who was doing that when I was younger. I grew up in the era of really, really skinny celebrities. That was the look. “And it was cool to be seen partying. Drugs were glamorized, and when I was 12 or 13, nobody [I looked up to] was talking about mental illness. “Nobody was talking about eating disorders. Nobody was talking about cutting. I wanted somebody for my little sister to look up to. “I took on that role because I knew it was important.” We’ve said so many times that we admire Lovato for her candor and the way she has handled these kinds of struggles. But it really can’t be said enough, can it? View Slideshow: Demi Lovato: 19 Candid Confessions from Her Documentary Demi also appreciates her status as a role model. She has often answered questions from fans and has always encouraged them to turn to her with any issues to which she can relate. “They’re very emotional. A lot of times people use that opportunity to dump their problems on me because they don’t know who else to talk to,” Lovato says of her meet and greets, concluding: “They show me their cuts. I’ve had people come up to me and say, ‘I was going to kill myself until I got this meet and greet.’ And you’re just like, ‘What?’ “Sometimes I’ll meditate afterwards. Sometimes I’ll just kind of breathe. I used to sage myself. It’s very heavy.” We can only imagine.
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos received poor grades from many students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School after her brief visit on Wednesday to the site of the mass shooting in February. SEE ALSO: Trump’s Failure Of An Education Secretary Grades Her First Year In Office The students, many of them new gun control advocates, wanted to hear DeVos’ policy thoughts on how to stem gun violence in schools. Instead, she had little interaction with the few students who were allowed to meet her, Carly Novell , a student newspaper editor, told The Huffington Post .

Education Sec. Betsy DeVos says arming school personnel “should be an option … but it's certainly not one that needs to be required or mandated for every community.” pic.twitter.com/I450RZR5D6 — NBC News (@NBCNews) March 7, 2018 Arming teachers, however, endangers the lives of Black children. “It does not take a great deal of imagination to contemplate instances in which armed teachers dealing with recalcitrant children will react out of fear and racial stereotype and discharge their weapons as they do the disciplinary code,” wrote Sherrilyn Ifill , president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund. A school environment where teachers are encouraged to carry weapons could also make law enforcement officers stationed at schools feel more at ease to shoot first and ask questions later.

The students gave him an enthusiastic welcome. One of the 17 shooting victims, Joaquin Oliver , was a huge fan of the former Miami Heat player. Oliver was buried in his Heat jersey. Dwayne Wade showed up at Stoneman Douglas High School and was greeted warmly by the students.

At one point, Quality Control was the home to not only Migos, but Rich The Kid, OG Maco, Skippa Da Flippa, Jose Guapo and several others but gradually over the years certain artists ventured off from the brand and the public never knew why. Last night, the dab creator, Skippa Da Flippa vented on social media and expressed his frustrations with his former label asking the CEO’s if they would let him out of his 360 deal before he proceeded with legal action. So far, neither Coach K or P have responded publically to Skippa Da Flippa. Lalaa Shepard @lalaashep
A reward for information on Timothy Cunningham , the missing public health service commander at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, had grown to more than $24,000 on GoFundMe on Tuesday. Cunningham, 35, has disappeared after leaving work early and was last seen or heard from February 12. The disappearance has been especially difficult for Cunningham’s parents and his sister, Tiara Cunningham. The family is “remaining positive and prayerful” through their rough time. “I have been trying my best to go through daily activities such as work without getting distracted,” Tiara Cunningham told ABC News in a text message on Tuesday. “But no one can really prepare you for seeing your face or your brother’s face on the news while at work.” “I feel like I’m in a horrible ‘Black Mirror’ episode,” the sister of a missing CDC employee said https://t.co/FI18Ur5tOA — NYT National News (@NYTNational) February 26, 2018 The family waits for Cunningham’s safe return, they are trying to continue to stick together. “So it’s a new normal that isn’t normal and many people won’t understand,” Tiara Cunningham added. The reward of more than $24,000 via GoFundMe has grown tremendously since the page was launched 15 days ago. Private donations, as well as donations from the family, contributed to the reward increase, Atlanta Police spokeswoman Lisa Bender told ABC News. The support for the Cunningham family has been strong since the public first learned of the Morehouse grad’s disappearance more than three weeks ago. “I was overwhelmed by the support both locally and nationally,” Cunningham’s sister also said. “The support of the public is indicative of how impactful Tim’s reach is,” she added. “He regularly participated in service events around the city. He served citizens in New York City during Hurricane Sandy and was ready to deploy to service in his capacity.” Before his vanishing, Cunningham was upset after being denied a promotion, police said. No foul play is suspected in the case.

Be warned, folks — there are some The Bachelor Spoilers in this post. Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s explosive choice — and then his jaw-dropping and frankly horrifying decision a few weeks after the finale was filmed — have been aired. Now Bachelor alums Jordan Rodgers and Sean Lowe, each living happily ever after with the women they fell in love with on television, are weighing in. And throwing shade. The Bachelor ‘s finale was a wild ride last night, with viewers pulled along a roller coaster of emotions. Probably the most commonly expressed reactions on Twitter were shock, horror, and disgust. All directed at Arie Luyendyk Jr. Some directed at ABC. But former stars who found love on camera and kept their relationships intact are speaking out. During the broadcast, Jordan Rodgers tweeted: “WOW!!! The drama is UNBEARABLE!! … San Antonio’s is only up 1 over Memphis with 9 min to go in the 3rd Quarter.” As fake-outs go, that one is fine. Rodgers later commented on how he found love with JoJo Fletcher and won Season 12 of The Bachelorette . “I mean….some llamas and a cool breeze would’ve been nice, but 120 degrees and some smelly armpits was our story. Wouldn’t change a thing! (Except some stronger antiperspirant) #babe” JoJo faced a tough choice, but she chose Jordan and it looks like things have worked out just fine for them. They may not be married yet, but they’re happily cohabitating in Texas. Any Bachelor finale is a time to reflect on how he found love on television, but he has to be thanking his lucky stars that he and JoJo haven’t ended things at all — and especially that they haven’t ended things like Arie did with Becca Kufrin. Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici are a shining example that yes, you really can find lasting love on camera. These two have been married for three years and have a young son together. Sean took to Instagram to reflect on the season … and to promote ethically sourced diamonds. “Well, Arie’s crazy season has come to an end (kinda) and the finale of course reminded me of my time on The Bachelor when I proposed to Catherine in Thailand.” And they’ve been together ever since. “That moment on bended knee, placing the diamond ring on her finger was one of the very best moments of my life.” Here comes the plug that had him tagging his own post with “#ad.” “Catherine would have married me regardless of what kind of ring I gave her, but knowing she has an ethically sourced real diamond that she can pass down to our future daughter is pretty special.” Honestly, you can’t blame the guy for seizing the opportunity to make a little Instagram cash. Catherine got in on the action, too. She wrote: “They said our love wasn’t real. They said we couldn’t make it, and over 4 years (and almost 2 babies!) later, here we are.” Her post was also an “#ad” … and a Throwback Tuesday. “Throwing this Tuesday back to that magical moment, and this beautiful ethically-sourced diamond engagement ring.” Arie picked Becca Kufrin. The season and contest and love story were supposed to be over. Instead, after a few weeks, Becca endured the worst Bachelor heartbreak when Arie changed his mind. Arie called ABC and had their cameras come witness him as he ended his relationship with Becca and went running back to the runner-up, Lauren Burnham. Amazingly, Lauren — who was noted for being fairly quiet all season — took him back. Becca, in the mean time, was left devastated. It almost defies belief, but it appears that Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham are still together . That said, some wonder if Arie will have yet another change of heart in a few weeks or if Lauren was the one he should have chosen at the finale. However, some wonder if Arie is any more committed to Lauren than he was to Becca. Bekah Martinez, one of the Bachelor Nation’s favorite contestants this year and notably the youngest, exposed Arie’s DMs to the world. Was he just reaching out to his ex … or was he fishing to see if she was still interested? If so, how many other women has he messaged?
