HAUTE OR NAUGHT: Would You Ever Get Micro-Freckles?

Posted on June 11, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Microblading one’s eyebrows have become the perfect solution to not having to fill in your brows every day. Uneven brows? Microblading to the rescue! So what happens when you are a Black or Brown girl that wasn’t blessed with freckles but want to change your look? Yes, you guessed it, you can microblade freckles too! Bi-racial beauty, Meghan Markle is known for her freckles and apparently has led to beauties of all races to consider this semi-permanent trend. While, to our knoweldge, the Duchess’ freckles are 100% real…there are women paying to get them tattooed on their face. Source: Andrew Toth / Getty This treatment costs on average about $200 and results can last up to three years and even longer on your nose with no touch up (because the lack of fat in the area). They can take up to four months to completely heal. When you first get them done, they might look like they resemble blackheads (like the video above). However, they will lighten and fade. I didn't put on foundation or concealer so you can see my micro baby freckles. Probably not in the lighting tho pic.twitter.com/i9RA7BnPKC — Birthday Mami D.D.S. (@LOUD_besos) January 27, 2016 The internet was in a buzz about women tattooing freckles on their faces. Many judging the practice, while some Black women admitted to getting theirs done and it turning out fine. ppl is really doing anything! y’all paying for micro freckles?! Love y’all self wtf. Paying for all these unnatural alterations I just don’t get it — tierra navia (@tierranavia) June 11, 2018 People are really getting micro freckles to look like real life filters? Insecurities are running rampant I see. — Ms.Lovely (@AyeeMsLovely) June 11, 2018 If you getting micro freckles keep away from me clearly you hear the devils voice — The Audacity’s Nerve (@DapaDon) June 11, 2018 Everybody tagging me in the post on baller alert saying it’s my fault I did not put micro freckles on this girl I just reposted it…..I’ve been through this she’ll be ok. — PARI$ HEELTON (@ImTheBombDotCom) June 11, 2018 Personally, I would never do this; however, what I have done before is fantasy freckles . Their a fun (and colorful!) way to get a freckled look…without the permanancy. Aspiring YouTuber, Makayla , showed us how she did fake freckles for a realistic (and much less permanent) look. So even if you aren’t into the permanency, you can still get this trend. Beauties, we have to know. While some of our favorite Black women, including Sade and Nia Long both have natural freckles…would you be willing to get your face tattooed to get the look?

She gets tired of men sometimes.” Jameel and Fenty were reportedly dating for a little over a year.

Get The Strap: Ja Rule Reigniting His Beef With 50 Cent Proves That If You Have Beef With Him, You’ll Have Beef…Forevaaa

Posted on June 1, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

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.

This Historically Black University Will Make History In Medical Marijuana Industry

Posted on May 31, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

A historically Black university in Louisiana is trying to make its mark in the medical marijuana industry. Southern University and Agricultural and Medicinal College in Baton Rouge will launch a medical marijuana program after a contract with Advanced Biomedics, a Louisiana-based company specializing in pharmaceutical-grade marijuana products, was approved on Friday (May 25). The move will make the HBCU the first to start a program about legalized cannabis, WAFB , a Baton Rouge news source, reported. “This is a momentous event,” Bobby R. Phills , chancellor of the Southern University Agricultural Center and dean of the school’s College of Agricultural, Family and Consumer Sciences, said in a news release. “We are extremely excited to be able to provide quality medicine for the citizens of Louisiana.” Southern University Set to Launch First Medical Marijuana Program https://t.co/WjugGk6MPZ — HBCU Buzz (@HBCUBuzz) May 31, 2018 Southen University has joined the cannabis ranks with Louisiana State University, with both public schools set to cultivate and research marijuana in campus facilities, Mic reported. No other institutions have been designated as legal growers and researchers of medical cannabis in the state, which legalized the substance in 2016 but prohibited recreational use. Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center, which focuses on livestock, farming research and community education, will oversee the program, according to the report. Advanced Biomedics is set to automatically renew its contract with the school for two consecutive five-year periods. The university is set to make a sizeable amount from the marijuana facilities, Phillis added. The Agricultural Research Center will receive $6 million, and Southern will get a $1 million signing bonus with each contract renewal. “This groundbreaking research opportunity will also provide revenue for the University and economic development in North Baton Rouge,” the chancellor said. Southern University’s product will be ready for distribution at Louisiana dispensaries in early 2019.

Ben Carson Hires Son Of A Close Friend Who Was Convicted Of Healthcare Fraud

Posted on May 31, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

B en Carson  continues his reign of foolishness as the secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The former doctor’s policies are horrendous, from his family’s alleged involvement to a proposal to raise the rent on low-income people to blocking Obama’s Small Area Fair Market Rent rule.  In addition, the team he has hired is equally ridiculous, especially those who attack journalists or lie to media outlets. Carson’s latest hire is seriously problematic. See Also: Ben Carson Called Black Illinois Town A ‘Dying Community’ And Is Doing Nothing To Fix It According to CNN.com , Carson hired 29-year-old Alfonso Costa Jr. who, according to HUD spokesman Raffi Williams, “is a graduate of Yale, Oxford and Harvard Law.” Costa Jr. will serve as Carson’s deputy chief of staff, but CNN.com reports his father, Al Costa , is one of Carson’s BFFs who is a dentist-turned-real-estate-investor. In 2007, Carson said about Costa that he is “one of my closest, if not my very closest friend.” In addition, Ben and Candy Carson had a real estate deal with Costa. But here is the strangest part:  CNN.com  reports Costa was convicted of healthcare fraud in 2007, and Ben Carson wrote to the judge on his behalf at the sentencing, “I could literally trust him with all of my earthly possessions and rest assured that I would get all of them back with interest. To sum it up, next to my wife of 32 years, there is no one on this planet that I trust more than Al Costa.” Reportedly , Costa charged insurance companies $44,000 in dental work that was never done. He was facing 18 months in prison, but only received three years probation. In 2015, Mother Jones reported that Costa and Carson were business associates and Carson profited somewhere between $200,000 and $2 million for a suburban Pittsburgh office building that he owned and Costa’s firm managed. Now, Costa’s son will be working for HUD. This is one of many strange hires at HUD. Earlier this month,  CNN.com  reported former Uber driver  Andrew Hughes , 32, was hired to be Ben Carson’s chief of staff at HUD. Outside of degrees from Ivy League schools — that nearly any person with wealthy parents can receive — there is no explanation of what experience 29-year-old Alfonso Costa Jr. has to be a deputy chief of staff. Oh, this is the Trump administration, which is equivalent to the friends and family discount—it’s all about who you know and who you worship. SEE ALSO: Outrageous!

Here’s What Fans Are Saying About The New Season Of ‘Arrested Development’

Posted on May 29, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: NurPhoto / Getty Arrested Development has been a cult-classic TV show since it first aired on Fox back in 2003, but it’s only picked up more steam since it’s premature Fox cancellation and Netflix revival 10 years later. Now, season 5 has arrived to the streaming service 5 years following its initial resuscitation, and there is a lot at stake. Fans were obviously excited at the chance to hang out with the dysfunctional Bluth family once more, even though reviews for season 4 back in 2013 were almost completely negative. That excitement was stifled once a New York Times interview showed tension and a lack of passion between the cast, namely Jeffrey Tambor and his male cast mates against a crying Jessica Walter . This encounter turned off many from the show, but of course, die-hard fans are still going to watch regardless. Season 5 premiered on Netflix on Tuesday, and it’s already garnering mixed reviews. Check out what the people of Twitter had to say about the series upon feasting their eyes on some new episodes. I can't binge watch Arrested Development Season 5 – I've missed the Bluths too much to watch it in one day. It's like seeing a best friends I haven't seen for five years, i need time to get to know them again #AD5 #ArrestedDevelopment — Shireen (@Shireen_Mc) May 29, 2018   I was really upset by that #ArrestedDevelopment interview. I have seen many people saying they will no longer watch the show. This morning I decided I would watch the show so that I could watch #JessicaWalter be as amazing as always. — Karen Kelley (@Karen_version_3) May 29, 2018 New season of Arrested Development? What? Why is that thing still twitching, wasn't season 4 bad enough? — Ari, u r OTL (@Ariurotl) May 29, 2018
