(NurPhoto / Contributor/Getty) You ugly bird! Get your ignorant azz out of the house in front of a camera talking to yourself before you start passing judgment on any race of people. Honestly, these white girls and their “problems with us” is actually the “problem in the United States.” You can’t even live if you are black! To this bird nosed bimbo, black folks just being themselves is a “problem.” It’s cliche, ignorant, and starting to get on our nerves. Leave us the fck alone!
Late last year, Meadow Walker settled her lawsuit with Porsche over the death of her father, the late, great Paul Walker. Now, his family and loved ones are honoring him with a documentary about him, titled I Am Paul Walker . In the trailer for it below, you can see previously unreleased footage of him. Take a look: After a glimpse of footage at a young teenage Paul getting nervous in front of a camera, his brother Cody Walker speaks. “He was a big kid,” Cody says of his dearly departed brother. “He was a big kid.” Director Wayne Kramer also speaks about Paul. “That guy made the best of every single minute,” Wayne says. Wayne continues, saying: “He lived five lifetimes.” Paul was also survived by his sister, who speaks about how she remembers him “He liked to go fast,” Ashe Walker says. “As soon as I was old enough to hold on tight, I was on the back of his bigwheel with him going for the ride of my life.” Oakley Lehman, a childhood friend and a stunt performer, speaks of Paul's complexity and apparent contradictions. “The gun-toting hippie,” Oakley says of his late friend, praising Paul as the “balance of opposites.” “You know?” Oakley continues. “A lover and a fighter.” Another childhood friend, Andy Muxlow, refers to Paul's perpetual free spirit. “He's definitely not a puppet,” Andy says. “You know?” Andy asks. “He's definitely not somebody that's gonna just be told to do something and then do it.” Director Rob Cohen says that, as much as fans grew to love Paul Walker through the camera, that barely scratched the surface on the man he knew. “Cinema didn't capture it all,” Rob laments. “Couldn't capture it all.” Rob summarizes Paul's priorities in life: “'My daughter, my surfing. That's the life. And that's what I care about.'” Matt Luber, Paul's manager, speaks about how Paul was not obsessed with is status as a celebrity or even as an actor. “Paul was always an actor who had one foot in and one foot out. He could just disappear,” Matt says. Caleb Walker, Paul's other brother, speaks of Paul's occassional impulses and fantasies of solitary anonymity. “He'd always say, like, 'I want to be a park ranger.' You know?” Caleb says. “Make 28 grand a year, live in the wilderness. That's really what he wanted to do.” Rhett Walker, Paul's uncle, gushes about the impact that his late nephew had on countless individuals. “I can actually say he did a lot of things that made a lot of difference in a lot of people's lives,” Rhett says. Not everyone can say the same. Tyrese Gibson is an actor and was one of Paul's costars in the Fast and Furious franchise. “He was a giver,” Tyrese says. “If you loved him the way we did, you would say 'Well, why him and not us?'” That is a normal way to grieve a lost friend. I Am Paul Walker premieres on August 11 at 9pm on the Paramount Network.
Paras Griffin/Getty Images Cardi B Announces Upcoming Projects For Fans On IG Live Fresh off the news of Cardi B cancelling her scheduled appearances on Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic Tour to stay home with baby Kulture, Belcalis is making even more promises to her fans. The rapper and new mommy hopped on Instagram live to update fans on her life, also assuring everyone that her tour cancellation didn’t mean she wouldn’t be working all together. Cardi revealed that she has a project coming out in the fall, though she didn’t provide any other details. She also announced that her music video for “Ring” featuring Kehlani will be out at the beginning of August. This is all great news for fans, if, of course, everything actually goes as plans. Cardi B and her label Atlantic Records have been known to have some differences in the past regarding release dates–if you’ll recall, her debut album Invasion of Privacy was released several months after she initially promised. The same goes for some of her previous singles. The news that is concrete, though, is the fact that Cardi is still working despite cancelling her tour appearances–so we can expect at least some music sometime soon, if not a full project. Take a look at Bardi’s IG live below, where she talks to her fans about upcoming projects and plans for the future.

Seriously, no. We go in the studio and literally we just be having fun. And then it’s a hit.” He then recited part of his verse on the Nicki Minaj collab “Fefe” and said, “That’s not even — like, what the fuck? I didn’t put no effort into that shit. I know J.

I really find the whole Kardashian family boring as f%ck! The only one I can tolerate is Kendall Jenner since she doesn’t look like a monster. She is actually pretty cute and has a banging body. Is she model worthy? No, but what is a model these days? Every company is using fat girls now to sell their clothes. We live in crazy times.
Source: DANIEL SORABJI / Getty Ride-sharing apps Uber and Lyft have both suspended a driver after learning he that live streamed videos of hundreds of his passengers without their consent. The driver–identified by The St. Louis Post Dispatch as 32-year-old Jason Gargac–filmed his interactions with passengers using a small camera mounted on his windshield, and streamed the footage live on Twitch. Some of the conversations Gargac recorded revealed passengers’ full names, where they lived, and more according to reports. Uber announced that it ended its “partnership” with Gargac, while Lyft said it had “deactivated” his account. Unfortunately beyond that, the driver faces no legal repercussions for his behavior because Missouri has “one party consent” privacy laws–this means that only one participant in a conversation needs to agree to its being recorded. Crazy, right? “In regards to our policies, under our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service, we do not allow people to share content that invades others’ privacy,” a Twitch spokesperson commented. “If reported to us by the person whose privacy was invaded, we would take action under our Community Guidelines to remove the content.” A lot of people believe that this case highlights a major disconnect between existing privacy laws and modern technology; “When these laws were drafted and enacted, I don’t think any of these states could have envisioned what we have in this case, where you have livestreaming video,” said CNN legal analyst Page on Sunday. According to Gargac, the camera was primarily a security measure, saying he knew “if something happens, immediately there can be a response, versus hopefully you’ll find my truck in a ditch three weeks later.” He said the streams were “secondary” but added “I try to capture the natural interactions between myself and the passengers — what a Lyft and Uber ride actually is.” What would you do if you found out your Uber driver was live streaming your ride?!
