Witness In C-Murder Conviction Recants Testimony 16 Years Later Former Cash Money rapper Corey “C-Murder” Miller is hoping to become a free man once again after 15 years in prison over a crime it appears he did not commit. A witness in C-Murder’s 2003 murder trial has come forward to say that he completely fabricated his testimony based on pressure from local police. According to Nola.com , 35-year-old Kenneth Jordan has completely recanted his testimony that he saw Miller shoot and kill a teenage fan at Harvey nightclub in 2002. Jordan claims that the Sherrif’s office arrested him a year after the nightclub incident in connection with the death of his infant daughter. The child’s mother was eventually charged with manslaughter and Jordan was found not culpable for the death, however, police began threatening him with a possible 10-year sentence over impregnating his then 16-year-old girlfriend (the age of consent in Louisiana is 17). Jordan claims cops offered him leniency on his statutory charges in exchange for testimony that would pinpoint Miller as the shooter that evening back in 2002. Being “distraught and scared,” Jordan says he felt pressured to lie and took the officers’ deal. He did not have an opportunity to testify in Miller’s first trial, however served as the “star witness” in his 2009 retrial. However now, he cannot let the lie he told to save himself as a teenager leave an innocent man in jail for life. “I know that the individual who I saw shoot the gun was not Corey Miller.” Miller’s attorney has filed a memorandum seeking a brand new trial for the former rapper. Jordan is set to appear on the Investigation Discovery (I.D. Channel) true-crime television show “Reasonable Doubt” on Wednesday 6/27 at 9pm to discuss his coercion into false testimony. Wow, after all this time. Hopefully, C-Murder is able to get a fair trial this time around… Getty
With summer programming providing fewer shows than ever to watch on the main networks, it's time to look ahead to the fall. With a string of new additions that will either be hits or colossal failures and some returning shows that ended their most recent seasons with a bang, the 2018-19 TV season is shaping up to be one filled with a lot of shows to watch. Have a look at the list below of new and returning shows you cannot miss! 1. A Million Little Things – ABC A Million Little Things looks set to be ABC’s answer to This Is Us. It focuses on a group of friends stuck in a rut, and how the death of someone close to them will change their whole outlook on life. With a cast that includes David Giuntoli, Ron Livingston, Romany Malco, Allison Miller, and Christina Moses, it’s one to watch. Catch it Wednesdays this fall. 2. Last Man Standing – Fox In a surprising turn of events, Fox revived Last Man Standing one year after ABC canceled it. It will air Friday nights. 3. Legacies – The CW Legacies is the highly anticipated sequel to both The Vampire Diaries and The Originals. It takes place in Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and the Gifted. Matt Davis and Danielle Rose Russell will star. It will air Thursdays at 9/8c. 4. All American – The CW All American is new football drama about a teenager who is given a free pass to Beverly Hills High after being scouted for the football team.

New Amsterdam – NBC New Amsterdam is yet another medical drama, but this one is fronted by Ryan Eggold and focuses on the oldest public hospital in the country. It will air Tuesdays in the fall. 6. Murphy Brown – CBS Murphy Brown is returning to the air in the form of a revival. That means much of the original cast will be back. It will join the CBS Thursday comedy block in 2018. View Slideshow
After Jimmy Fallon tried to walk back some of his 2016 friendliness towards Donald Trump, the POTUS let him have it on Twitter. Specifically, Trump demanded that Jimmy Fallon “man up” and not apologize for humanizing Trump during a critical election year. Fallon responded by donating to a group working to help immigrants. He also went after Trump in a monologue. Watch! So, Jimmy Fallon expressed regrets for that shameful incident in which he had Donald Trump on as a guest during the 2016 election. At the time, Fallon ruffled Trump's hair as if Trump were just some eccentric reality star and not a clear and present danger to American ideals and freedoms. Trump saw Fallon's regrets and, as he is want to do, flipped out on Twitter. So Jimmy Fallon responded in his monologue. “Before we begin,” Fallon tells his audience. “I just wanna give a shout out to our show’s number one fan — the President of the United States!” Picking up on his intention, the audience applauds — something that you're not likely to hear Trump elicit outside of one of his infamous rallies. Jimmy sets the stage. “As you may have heard last night,” Fallon says, explaining the premise. “The President of the United States went after me on Twitter.” “So Melania, if you're watching, I don't think your anti-bullying campaign is working.” Melania's proposed bullying campaign has been a source of many jokes, even before she shared that it was called “Be Best.” It seems that Melania doesn't really care . “When I saw that Trump insulted me on Twitter,” Fallon explains. “I was gonna tweet back immediately, but I thought, 'I have more important things to do.'” That line, of course, is just a set-up for his punchline. “Then I thought, 'Wait, shouldn't he have more important things to do?!'” Fallon exclaims. “He's the president! What are you doing? Why are you tweeting at me?” Many have lamented that Trump spends so much time on Twitter. But that pales beside his record-breaking time spent golfing. “Crazy,” Fallon says. “The President went after me on Twitter. It's pretty much the only thing I have in common with NFL players.” Trump has, of course, been famously critical of football players who kneel in protest of rampant anti-black violence. “In response,” Fallon says, reiterating what he had already tweeted. “I made a donation in Trump's name to the Refugee And Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services.” RAICES is an organization that many see as the perfect counter to Trump's preference of placing refugees, asylum seekers, and others who cross the border in internment camps. “Or RAICES,” Fallon says, leading up to his next joke. “When Trump heard that, he was like: 'I love RAICES, they're my favorite peanutbutter cup.'” Fallon then proceeds to deliver some mild burns to Trump. “A new poll found that 58 percent of Americans think President Trump is intelligent,” Fallon cites. Sorry if that statistic crushes the final vestiges of anyone's lingering faith in humanity or the American public. Fallon jokes: “In response, Trump was like, 'Ok, what did the other 58 percent say?'” Fallon then moves on to poking fun at Trump's lack of geopolitical savvy. “And today at the White House, Trump met with the King and Queen of Jordan,” Fallon says. “Which got awkward when Trump thanked the King of Jordan for giving us Michael.” That line refers to Michael Jordan, a famous baseball player. Fallon then went on to make quips about Sarah Huckabee Sanders getting asked to leave a restaurant and then about Trump's angry Twitter response that better resembled a Yelp review. Is Jimmy Fallon especially funny? Not in this monologue. (You can enjoy the monologue because of its politics without finding it to be a laugh riot) Should he be forgiven for his hair-ruffling humanization of Donald Trump during such a critical election year? Probably not, but history will be the judge. But it is definitely not appropriate for the President of the United States to use his position to attack comedians. Or restaurants. Or political rivals. Or, you know, people with brown skin. Considering that Trump locked up a couple thousand kids in cages and called for Samantha Bee to be fired , his attack on Fallon was relatively mild. Good for Fallon for using the opportunity to donate to a good cause, though. He deserves credit for that.
ABC has announced the full cast for Bachelor in Paradise Season 5. You remember Bachelor in Paradise, right? The series that nearly got canceled due to a dangerous mixture of alcohol and sex ? With those assault allegations apparently totally in the past , the network is moving ahead with a new batch of disposed Bachelor and Bachelorette suitors, all looking for love on reality television (at least) one more time. Who has been tabbed to get wasted and have intercourse while pretending to develop real feelings for a potential wife or husband? Find out below! 1. ANGELA She’s a model who was kicked off Nick Viall’s season on the very first night. We know basically nothing about her. 2. ANNALIESE She suffered through Arie’s season of The Bachelor and made it known that she was in a bumper car accident AND got attacked by a dog in her past. 3. ASTRID Remember when she wore just a sports bra on a date with Nick Viall? Granted, they were on a track and field date. Anyway… she’s on the show. 4. BIBIANA That’s her real name, we checked. She nearly made it to the end of Winter Games in a relationship with Jordan, the former Bachelor in New Zealand. 5. CHELSEA She received the first impression rose from Arie… and then it was all downhill from there basically. She was sent packing shortly thereafter. 6. DAVID He was just kicked off Becca’s season after arriving in a chicken suit on the first night. He then fell off of the top bunk and broke his nose. He ended his epic run by being sent home on the two-on-one date. View Slideshow
Source: John Parra / Getty It’s definitely turning out to be one of those hot Summers that’ll go down in hip hop history. Pusha T exposed Drake as a deadbeat dad. Drake explained his Black Face photo and still hasn’t responded to Pusha. And A$AP Rocky dropped an album that no one is talking about. But the icing on top of the “messy male beef” cake is that Ja Rule decided that it’s time to reignite his beef with 50 Cent . Ja Rule has finally spoken about the Drake & Pusha T beef pic.twitter.com/3TmY4LsOU0 — 24/7 HipHop News (@BenjaminEnfield) May 31, 2018 Rule must’ve gotten super flashbacks with all the Drake and Pusha drama, so he decided to pull a Kanye West , and declare that his diss track, Loose Change (about 50 and Eminem) is the GOAT of rap battle disses. Drake, Push ima let y’all finish but “Loose Change” was one of the most disrespectful diss records of ALL TIME… — Ja Rule (@Ruleyork) May 31, 2018 We’re not sure why or if he didn’t expect the Queens bully himself to respond to the shady tweet. Clearly Ja wanted the smoke: If you a @50cent fan you don’t love yourself… — Ja Rule (@Ruleyork) May 31, 2018 And he’s also trying to make #GoatRule a thing. Grant it, he was one of the hottest guys in the game at the time and went up against multiple emcees at once to defend his title. I don’t think there’s EVER been a rap beef when 4 of the top rappers go at 1 guy… 50,Em,Busta,Dmx!!! Lmao the more I think about it #GoatRule — Ja Rule (@Ruleyork) May 31, 2018 So don’t sleep on the former Murder Inc. legend. He was singing and rapping back when Drake was still a fan of Pusha T. Drake geeking out about his Pusha T autographed mic when he was 17 years old pic.twitter.com/PYxehWw1Aw — Rap Access (@rapaccess) May 30, 2018 Moral of the story is that Ja and 50 beef will probably never let up. And Rule still doesn’t believe that he took home the L. But that’s a different story. Anytime there’s a 50 Cent / Ja Rule issue I’m always brought back to this video pic.twitter.com/PRpa3o73MJ — Jordan (@JPens4Real21) May 31, 2018 We’re pretty sure that this is just the begininng of 50 vs. Ja part 10. Who do you think will come out on top this time? And if you haven’t before, check out “Loose Change” when you hit the flip.

Source: Nike / NIke If you thought Mitchell & Ness had the throwback game on Hulk smash then you must’ve forgot that Nike too owns some chips on that table and they’ll soon be dropping something that Michael Jordan fanatics will go dope boy crazy for. Yesterday (May 16) the house that Air Jordan built announced that they will soon be dropping a limited edition Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls jersey to commemorate his last NBA title in 1998. You may remember his Airness delivered with 5.2 seconds left in the game against the Utah Jazz, hence, leaving Karl Malone and John Stockton ringless. Yes, Nike’s that cold. The special-edition jersey will come in three different versions: The Authentic Away edition which represents Michael’s legendary shot while on Utah’s home floor, and two swingman editions of the Bulls home and away pieces. But that’s not all, each jersey will be equipped with Nike’s Nikeconnect Technology which will unlock select content of ESPN’s Michael Jordan 10-part docuseries “ The Last Dance ” before its 2019 premier. In case y’all scheming on these you might wanna start saving those pennies as the Authentic will retail for $400 while coming in a soft touch box with a clear window and magnetic closure. On the other hand the two Swingman jerseys will sell for $120 and will be served in a plastic bag. Nike is also going the extra mile with their latest must-have Jordan piece: The special-edition Bulls jersey also celebrates Friends of the Children , a national nonprofit that selects the most vulnerable children aged 4-6 from high-poverty schools and the foster care system and pairs them with a salaried, professional mentor who stays with them from kindergarten through graduation. Props. Check out jerseys below and on the lfip and let us know if you’ll be checking for these come May 31. Source: Nike / NIke — Photos: Nike

Source: Chris Weeks / Getty Sports fans everywhere are rejoicing after news broke that the Supreme Court voted to legalize sports gambling. Even though folks have been doing it for years, of course Uncle Sam and them had to get in on it as a way to encourage tourism and tax revenue. Continuing to outlaw sports gambling would be the height of stupidity in our state. The tax revenue stream alone would be worth billions. You can buy a cookie full of weed but you can’t bet $20 on the Seahawks to beat the Bears? — Dave Softy Mahler (@Softykjr) May 14, 2018 That means the value of sports teams has doubled and folks will soon be betting on college games while smoking blunts in public, with no consequences. Those who already love gambling and are balling financially get to ball even harder and make a new revenue stream just off bets. Like Birdman . He once lost $2 million betting that the Miami Heat would win the 2012 NBA Championships over the Dallas Mavericks. That same year he won $1 million betting on the Superbowl. You gotta play to win, and now you can do it without repercussion. Here are more celebs who will probably get richer now the sports gambling is legal: 50 Cent 50 is always betting hundreds of thousands of dollars on everything from boxing to college sports. Floyd Mayweather King of million dollar bets. Michael Jordan Big baller Mike bets most of his money on gold tournaments. Charles Barkley Barkley once admitted that his gambling problem costed him $10 million. via GIPHY
