Jay Z wants us to believe: •Black men disrespect police at a higher rate than white men •Black men only die at the hands of police when they are “disrespectful” •Disrespecting police is grounds for them to kill you These are not only all false but laughably so… https://t.co/D9ZBxqNQw6 — laya (like layer) (@layalovesya) September 2, 2019 Jay Z Addresses Broken Households & Police, Sparks Chaos We don’t have enough time to unpack everything Jay Z said in a resurfaced clip from a social justice panel with Van Jones , Patriots owner Bob Kraft and others but it’s currently dividing the whole entire internet. Hov basically said growing up in a single parent household can cause people to have an “adverse feeling toward authority” which causes them to tell police “f*ck you” resulting in interactions that “cause people to lose lives.” Now, to be fair, this can easily be taken out of complex, twisted and misquoted but he does clump police killings with fatherless Black youths without condemning the trigger-happy cops who perpetuate the broken system which, naturally, sparked outrage across Twitter.

Source: Jordan Lye / Getty Woman Is Suing After Having To Deliver Her Own Baby In A Jail Cell According to CBS Denver , a woman who gave birth alone in her jail cell is suing after deputies and nurses reportedly ignored her cries for help during her five hours of labor. Surveillance video shows Diana Sanchez lying down on her cell bed, crying out in pain before she pulls off her pants and delivers a baby. In a federal lawsuit, Sanchez states that she first alerted jail staff that she was experiencing contractions at 5:00 a.m. The lawsuit also says that Sanchez spoke with Denver deputies and Denver Health nurses over eight times that morning, informing them every time that she was experiencing contractions. Three hours later Sanchez’s water broke, at which point she again attempted to alert staff. An absorbent pad is slid under her door for her to put on her bed about 45 minutes before she gave birth. After she gives birth, a nurse walks in and picks up the baby. The federal lawsuit says that jail officials “cruelly chose convenience over compassion” by not calling for an ambulance after Sanchez’s water broke and she was bleeding.
Source: moodboard / Getty When it comes to flaunting a flawless face, any makeup lover will tell you that eyebrows and lashes are easily part of the equation. Not only do they work to shape your face and create a dramatic effect, but on days when you’re doing the bare minimum, shapely eyebrows and full lashes are all you need! While many makeup mavens who are not genetically blessed with the perfect eyebrows or lashes rely on makeup products to get the job done, there is a way to get your own into tip-top shape. You may be thinking about microblading but, to be honest, we’re looking to keep things simple and all-natural! Read through to get some useful tips on how to take your barely-there eyebrows and lashes to a full and healthy state. Castor oil is your best friend. High in omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E and other minerals, this oil already works wonders in growing hair, so why wouldn’t it work on your eyebrows and lashes? Simply apply a few drops of castor oil (Jamaican Black Castor Oil is best) to the palm of your hands. Grab a clean spoolie and rub it in the oil in a circular motion. Dab on your hands to catch the excess and apply to your eyebrows and lashes. This method is best right before bedtime to give the oil time to work its magic. Aloe vera is not only for your hair. Natural methods always reign supreme when it comes to hair growth and aloe vera is no exception. Containing the compound aloenin, this plant promotes seamless hair growth. Peel the outer leaf of the aloe and scoop out the gel. You can add the gel to a blender with a few drops of castor oil and blend until you reach a watery consistency. Use a spoolie to apply the mixture to your brows and lashes. Refrigerate after each use. Avoid overplucking, over waxing and lash extensions. While these methods can seem like a quick fix to give you beautiful lashes and brows, the damage can be long-lasting. Give your self a break from these methods to start seeing a change in your hair growth. Skip moisturizers and creams. Let’s be clear, applying a moisturizer daily is recommended for hydrated skin. However, when applying your moisturizer of choice, it can clog your hair follicles. Apply your facial creams around your brows and lashes to maintain your hair’s natural breathing process for growth. Add a multivitamin to your diet. Multivitamins with biotin and vitamin B complex are great for promoting hair growth. Vitamin A and C are also great for blood and oxygen circulation to stimulate the hair follicles.

This week, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills finally cast a black woman , making some long overdue history. But when the cast list was released, one name was conspicuously absent. Camille Grammer was nowhere to be seen. Now Camille is telling her fans that they can lay the blame for her firing at one person’s feet: Kyle Richards. A lot of fans are happy to see Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke join the show, even if it’s just to shake things up. Sutton’s casting is extra good news for Lisa Rinna, as the two women are BFFs. And, again, it’s nothing short of shameful that RHOB had not previously cast a black woman. Now, a lot of fans had been ready to see Camille leave the show after the Reunion special . But actually seeing her name left off of the cast list came as a shock. “Wait, where are you?” one fan on Twitter demanded of Camille when her name was conspicuously absent. “I wasn’t asked back,” Camille revealed. “It’s fine.” “I did my time on the show,” she added, as if it were some sort of prison sentence instead of a coveted and well-paying gig. “And,” Camille characterized. “It’s Kyle’s show.” If you think that she’s not explicitly laying the blame at Kyle’s feet yet, know that she’s just getting started. “It was up to Kyle,” Camille claimed. She insisted: “I’m really fine.” “After the reunion,” Camille says. “I didn’t want to come back.” She reports: “It was an awful experience.” That may be true (especially the part about being miserable), but it also sounds like a way to save face. “Well you’ll be missed,” one fan assured her. “Seems like a bit of a slap in the face to you tbh after being an amazing ‘friend-of’ for two seasons,” the follower opined. The comment concluded: “Think they should remember who the OGs are.” “I agree, but they don’t,” Camille replied. “It’s a tough business,” the former Housewife characterized. “They eat you up and spit you out.” Hardcore fans of Camille Grammer — and yes, they exist — were not willing to accept that answer. They may not have the power to force Bravo to hire her back, but she told them exactly whom to blame. Fans bristled at the idea of one Housewife having that kind of influence over the others — whether it’s true or false. One fan wrote back furiously: “it will never be Kyle’s show.” That sounds like an outcry that could have negative consequences for Kyle and for Bravo. Or, of course, it might just fizzle out. In the mean time, Camille has given fans so many gifts. Rather than focusing upon whom to blame, let’s think about the Camille Grammer dance gif, one of the greatest things anyone has ever seen. Remember yodeling kid? Within hours of his singing going viral, there was a dance mix (making it listenable) accompanying a clip of Camille’s dance. One of the biggest perks of being a Real Housewife isn’t the pay or the endorsement opportunities or the fame. You get the chance to become a meme that will outlast your stint on the show, the show itself, or any of the money you make from it. View Slideshow: 13 Boring Real Housewives Who Were Given the Boot
Earlier this month, the world learned that it's over between Brody Jenner and Kaitlynn Carter . But when this sneak peek clip from The Hills: New Beginnings was filmed, they were still a couple and shooting down relationship rumors. To their shared frustration, a rumor cropped up that they had once been polyamorous. Is it true? In this sneak peek from The Hills: New Beginnings , Kaitlynn's friend Liz Facetimes her to warn her. Stephanie Pratt has been gossiping about her, Liz cautions, saying: “She’s just, like, asking about your relationship.” According to Liz: “She’s like, ‘I don’t know. Isn’t there someone else, like, involved?’” “What does she mean by that?” Kaitlynn asks, looking amused if anything. Liz reports: “She thinks you guys are like in this, like, polyamorous relationship.” Liz sort of stumbles over the word “polyamorous,” which is a good reminder that some of us use that word more often than others. If you need a reminder, a polyamorous relationship usually involves more than two people in an often romantic relationship. It can mean one person in a serious relationship with two others who know about each other. It could mean eight people who all date all of the others. Brody hears this theory and quickly interjects. “That’s none of her business,” Brody asserts. He continues, saying: “You know, we just, we like what we like.” Kaitlynn then uses the confessional camera to explain to viewers what gave Stephanie this idea. “When Brody and I first were together,” she recalls. “We were young, we were crazy.” “We were, like, you know, basically just trying to have the time of our lives,” Kaitlynn continues. “So,” she informs the viewers. “We did a lot of things in our relationship.” Oh? What kinds of things. Kaitlynn explains that these were hings “that, you know, I certainly wouldn’t say I regret.” Good. Regrets serve little good, especially if you were having fun at the time. But her words could mean polyamory. It could also mean that they had an open relationship or had a lot of threesomes, foursomes, or “moresomes.” Apparently they were content to leave that up to everyone's imaginations. “But,” Kaitlyn expresses. “The level of gossip that I feel happens in the group — it just makes me angry.” That's very fair. On August second, Brody and Kaitlynn announced their shocking split. “Brody Jenner and Kaitlynn Carter have decided to amicably separate,” their representative announced in a statement. “They love and respect one another,” the statement affirmed. “And know that this is the best decision for their relationship moving forward.” Though the two held a well-publicized wedding ceremony in June of 2018, they were never legally married. That makes Caitlyn Jenner's inability to attend her son's “wedding” a much smaller deal. (Also, if he wanted her to attend, he shouldn't have scheduled his last-minute ceremony during Pride Month) About a week later, Kaitlynn was seen gal pal-ing around with none other than Miley Cyrus. “Brody and Kaitlynn separated on good terms and are still close friends,” a source insisted at the time. “Brody is in a great headspace right now,” the insider reported. “And really isn’t bothered by Kaitlynn and Miley’s relationship.” Miley and Kaitlynn have not been trying to hide what they have going, either on social media or at major awards shows like the VMAs. It's interesting, but not necessarily signiificant, that both now-split couples were friends before things fell apart. And Miley and Liam were rumored to have struggled with whether or not to be an open relationship. This clip and this episode are likely not going to do anythign to discourage rumors.
Back in July, baseball fans were stunned by the death of Tyler Skaggs , a 27-year-old pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels. Now, medical examiners in Los Angeles county have released the results of toxicology testing that points to the cause of Skaggs’ death. According to the official coroner’s report, Skaggs passed away due to a combination “alcohol, fentanyl and oxycodone intoxication with terminal aspiration of gastric contents.” It appears that after a night in which he ingested several intoxicating substances, Skaggs choked on his own vomit while unconscious. Now, in a shocking turn of events, the Skaggs family has revealed that they intend to take legal action, as they believe an employee of the Angels is directly responsible for Tyler’s passing: “We are heartbroken to learn that the passing of our beloved Tyler was the result of a combination of dangerous drugs and alcohol,” the statement said. “That is completely out of character for someone who worked so hard to become a Major League baseball player and had a very promising future in the game he loved so much,” it continued. “We are grateful for the work of the detectives in the Southlake Police Department and their ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding Tyler’s death. We were shocked to learn that it may involve an employee of the Los Angeles Angels,” the grieving family added. “We will not rest until we learn the truth about how Tyler came into possession of these narcotics, including who supplied them. To that end, we have hired attorney Rusty Hardin to assist us.” This is the first time the family has publicly suggested the possibility of taking action against the Angels. In his own statement, attorney Hardin stated that it’s “way too early” to speculate on any potential legal action by Skaggs’ loved ones. “I think the thing to keep in mind is they’re just still so devastated, both the wife and the family, about this young man’s death, and they just want to know what happened and how it happened,” Hardin told the Los Angeles Times. “We’re going to want to know how it came about that those drugs were ingested and whether or not others are responsible for what happened.” The Angels have yet to publicly respond to the allegations and have issued no official statement on Skagg’s passing since their initial press release: “It is with great sorrow that we report Tyler Skaggs passed away earlier today in Texas,” the team said at the time. “Tyler has, and always will be, an important part of the Angels family. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Carli and his entire family during this devastating time.” We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

The televisionw world is in mourning. Valerie Harper, a veteran actress best known for having played one of TV’s most popular and enduring characters died on Friday after a lengthy battle with cancer. She was 80 years old. Harper enjoyed a long and highly respected acting career. However, she will forever be remembered for taking on the role of the constantly dating, constantly dieting Rhoda Morgenstern on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Her passing was confirmed late Friday via statement on behalf of the late star’s husband, Tony Cacciotti: It read as follows: “My dad has asked me to pass on this message: ‘My beautiful caring wife of nearly 40 years has passed away at 10:06am, after years of fighting cancer. “She will never, ever be forgotten. Rest In Peace, mia Valeria. -Anthony.” Harper had been dealing with a number of health issues over the past few years, including leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, lung cancer and brain cancer. On July 8, just about two months before she died, a family friend set up a GoFundMe page titled “The Valerie Harper Cancer Support Fund.” It was meant to assist Harper with her daily “unrelenting medical costs” so that she would receive “the best care possible.” Within the first week, the campaign had raised over $40,000 from friends, family and many of Harper’s long-time fans and supporters. Back in 2013, the actress was given a mere three months to live after being diagnosed with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, an extremely rare condition in which cancer cells spread to the membranes surrounding the brain. And yet: She defied the odds after undergoing chemotherapy treatments, even competing on Dancing With the Stars later that same year. Incredibly. “People are saying, ‘She’s on her way to death and quickly,’” she told Fox News in September of 2017. “Now it’s five years instead of three months.” Harper debuted in her iconic role the kooky neighbor from New York on The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1970. She won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress that same year, despite the comedy struggling in the ratings at first. From 1974 through 1978, she anchored the spin-off Rhoda, later winning the Best Actress Emmy. When this character got married on October 28, 1974, the special hour-long episode destroyed ratings records with 52 million viewers. The actress also starred on Valerie (also titled Valerie’s Family and The Hogan Family), in addition to films such as Freebie and the Bean and Chapter Two. She earned a Tony Award nomination in 2010 for her performance as Tallulah Bankhead in Looped. Harper is survived by Tony, whom she married in 1987, and their daughter, Cristina. May she rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam
They’ve had their ups… and their downs… but now they are legally bound to each other. For all of eternity. Indeed: Late Friday, Olga Koshimbetova took to Instagram to break the majoe news that she and Steven Frend are now husband and wife. Yes, folks, the 90 Day Fiance stars just got married! Koshimbetova took to her official social media account on Friday to confirm she and her boyfriend of more than two years exchanged vows in a courthouse ceremony in Maryland. “30.08.2019 we are officially husband and wife,” the TLC personality captioned the above selfie of her, Steven and their son Aleksandr “Alex” Frend. It’s been quite a journey for these two, that’s for certain. Viewers were introduced to Steven and Olga on Season 6 of the aforementioned TLC series, which chronicled the couple as they navigated the challenging nature of their long-distance relationship. After Koshimbetova returned to her native Russia with their newborn baby, she kept Instagram followers up to date as Steven traveled thousands of miles for their family to reunite while awaiting the completion of her K-1 visa process. You can see a photo of him reuniting with Olga HERE . Just a few months ago, Olga received approval and returned to the United States with baby Alex for good. It’s rare, of course, for any couple that met via 90 Day Fiance to make it anywhere near a wedding aisle. But Steven and Olga never really left much doubt that their love was real. In June, they celebrated their two-year anniversary with Koshimbetova posting a snapshot of her family online and writing: “Time flies so fast that two years have passed since our meeting. We have already went through a lot of things, but this is only the beginning of our adventure with you, get ready babe.” There was a point where tension between Steven and Olga reached its troubling peak when Steven confessed that he hadn’t filed paperwork to bring Olga to America, even threatening to take their child to America without her. In the end, of course, he did not do so. That was then, though. Now? Now that the two are living in the same country again? All appears very well. Steven recently shared how much having his family together in the United States has meant to him. “Ever since my family has arrived I have never felt more alive!” he wrote this summer. The star added that he’s trying hard to improve himself and “learning to be a father as well as a supportive partner.” CONGRATS TO THE NEWLYWEDS!
