George Anthony: Terrified that Casey Anthony Might Have Another Kid

To the collective horror of the world, recent reports revealed that Casey Anthony might have another child . No one is more personally connected to Casey, one of the most hated women in America, than her parents. George and Cindy Anthony went on Dr. Oz to discuss the grm possibility that they might have a new grandchild. In an appearance on Dr. Oz , George Anthony was very straightforward about his reaction to reports that Casey might have another child. “Knowing now that she could potentially be a mom again,” George says. “I hope she does better this time around than what she did last time.” That is … a massive understatement. No child deserves to die like that. “If she is granted a chance to have another child,” he says, he has some wishes. “I hope that child is strong,” George says, adding that he hopes that such a child “grows up to be a worthwhile part of society.” Strong enough to endure a childhood with Casey as a mother. “And,” George adds, he has wishes about “the person that she has the child with.” Real talk, for a moment — what sort of person not only spends time with and falls in love with Casey, but willingly conceives a child with her? “I hope they are going to love her and that child immensely,” George continues. “I hope whatever life she has left,” George says of his estranged daughter. “That she makes something positive happen in her life.” Sometimes, after an acquittal, that’s the best thing that you could wish. George and Cindy were very honest about their frustrations with Casey, and about their conflicted feelings. The two of them still feel that they don’t know everything about poor Caylee Anthony’s death. Cindy, it seems, still believes that there was someone else involved. George admits that he wants to hug his daughter — but that he also feels a violent need for real answers about Caylee’s death. Many who watched the trial unfold feel that they know enough already, or even too much. In 2017, Casey seemed dismissive of the idea of having a child, because of the stigma that being her child would bring. “If I am blessed enough to have another child,” Casey said at the time, teasing the possibility. Casey then rephrased: “if I’d be dumb enough to bring another kid into this world.” She said that it would be dumb “knowing that there’d be a potential that some little snot-nosed kid would then say something mean to my kid.” Casey then said: “I don’t think I could live with that.” Coming from her, that’s really saying something, since it seems that she can “live with” a lot. Recent reports from reliable media, such as People , showed that Casey has apparently changed her tune about having another child. “For a long time she was like ‘no way,'” the insider said. That was a small comfort to people who can’t stop imagining what Caylee’s final moments on this Earth must have been like. “But time has changed that,” the source warned. “And she’s now open to it in a way she hasn’t been before.” No thank you, please. We should be clear — it’s not that most people think that Casey is planning to have another baby just to murder that child. It’s that it’s difficult to imagine such a child growing up in a loving home. No one believes that a loving mother’s child would have met Caylee’s fate, and it’s difficult to imagine that Casey has quietly redeemed herself into a new, good person. If George and Cindy are talking about her with such gentle language, it means that they hope to reconcile with her. Perhaps they feel that it would be the best way to give some future grandchild a chance. View Slideshow: 21 Stars Who Very Likely Killed Someone

LeBron James Set To Produce ‘Friday The 13th’ Reboot

Source: Steve Dykes / Getty It might be a horror show going on in the Staples Center right because the LeBron led Lakers are off to a horrible start. But Hollywood Bron is still working and looking to help resurrect the iconic horror film franchise Friday The 13th . The hockey mask wearing homicidal maniac Jason hasn’t been able to deliver vicious fades since the underrated 2009 Friday The 13th reboot. There have been talks of various sequels and reboots, but all have been hampered thanks to delays, creative conflicts and a lawsuit from the franchise’s creator Victor Miller. But thanks to the success of the Jamie Lee Curtis led Halloween revival and Michael Myers slashing his way to $77.8 million domestic opening new life has been given to Jason Voorhees. According to Page Six , insiders hint that LeBron James’ SpringHill Entertainment alongside Roy Lee’s Vertigo Entertainment is currently in talks to acquire the rights to make a new movie happen and all signs are pointing to it coming to fruition. Miller has since won back the rights to the franchise, and with the two production companies and their first look deals with Warner Bros., they are expected to land the movie. The movie is still in early development, and no writers or a director has been attached to the project yet. One thing is for sure Jason will be taking out camp counselors at Camp Crystal Lake just like old times.  LABron’s move to the west coast was supposedly for basketball reasons, but its quite clear LBJ has been bitten by the Hollywood bug. If and when it’s confirmed Friday The 13th will join the growing list of big and small screen projects Bron is attached to which also includes Space Jam 2 . — Photo: Steve Dykes / Getty

Details Of Botham Jean’s Family Lawsuit Against Dallas Are Revealed

T he family of the Black man who was killed by a police officer in his own Dallas apartment last month still has plans to sue the city, according to a new report. Botham Jean ’s family announced their intentions earlier this month to sue Dallas for civil rights violations, but the lawsuit was seemingly in limbo last week after Jean’s mother said some questions she had were being answered by officials. Lawyers representing the family revealed details of the pending lawsuit on Monday, showing exactly what Jean’s parents were hoping to accomplish with it. “Jean’s parents say they want their lawsuit to not just focus on how their son died, but to change how police officers are trained about when to fire their weapons,” the Dallas Morning News reported Monday afternoon. Are police departments really investigating the cops who killed Botham Jean and O'Shae Terry? A pattern emerges… https://t.co/ytvCIdZylc pic.twitter.com/weG5wpTOU9 — NewsOne (@newsone) October 10, 2018 Part of the lawsuit will also focus on what Jean’s family has described as incompetence on the part of law enforcement, including Dallas County District Attorney Faith Johnson , who reportedly assured the family that the case was progressing. Johnson, who was appointed DA nearly two years ago, was running to be elected to the post next month and has at times  seemed more concerned with her campaign than Jean’s killing. “The Jeans also fault [Dallas Police Chief U. Reneé] Hall for turning over the case to the Rangers and say Dallas police should have kept investigating,” Dallas Morning News also reported. “Hall has said she turned over the case in an effort to be more transparent.” However, Hall, at one point in the weeks after the shooting, told reporters that she was “prohibited” from firing Amber Guyger , the officer who killed Jean. Less than a week later, Guyger was fired. There’s also the issue of the criminal charge Guyger was facing. She was charged with manslaughter , but that could be changed to murder depending on what a grand jury decides. However, it was unclear when, or if, a grand jury would ever convene. It’s been nearly seven weeks since Guyger entered Jean’s apartment and killed him on Sept. 6, implausibly confusing her rental unit for his and purportedly suspecting he was an intruder in her home. Local law enforcement has been accused of helping Guyger coverup her crime , allowing her to avoid criminal charges and remain free nearly three days following the shooting before she turned herself in and was arrested. She was finally fired nearly three weeks after she killed Jean. Her toxicology report has also not been released even though she reportedly submitted to a test the night of the shooting. Where is Amber Guyger’s toxicology report? Questions about Botham Jean’s killer mount as she is given plenty of time to prepare her defense. https://t.co/XykjC85iuy pic.twitter.com/KHQVQkzet2 — NewsOne (@newsone) October 8, 2018 Jean family attorney Lee Merritt told journalist Jordan Chariton last week that Guyger was also given time to delete all of her social media accounts, except for her Pinterest account which “bragged about being violent, being short tempered. She bragged about use of force and she spoke out adamantly against things like kneeling [during the anthem] and said the NFL died of ‘Colin’ [Kaeprnick] cancer.” SEE ALSO: Dallas DA Accused Of Bungling Botham Jean Case Gets Major Endorsement For Election Where Is Amber Guyger’s Toxicology Report?

‘LHHHS5’ Recap: Teairra Mari Owes Actual Revenge Porn Victims An Apology

Excerpt from:

Source: Jamie McCarthy / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Hollywood is exhausting. It’s mostly about Teairra Mari’s drama with Akbar again. There’s an IG Live video that Akbar shot where he runs up on Teairra and hits her with a barrage of questions about why she’s trying to sue him but keeps coming back to see him at the same time. Teairra tells him that she wants him to go away. Then, his sister-wife, Alejandra, threatens her. Then we cut to Akbar’s house. Sade, his wife ,  wife stops by because she has been seeing all of he and Alejandra’s antics online and she doesn’t like it. She seems to have been away and Alejandra feels some type of way about that. The two of them start arguing and Akbar is just as cavalier he wants to be and tells Sade that he has everything under control and that he has been filming TT in order to undermine her lawsuit. He also warns her to stop trying to check Alejandra. This is clearly a messed up polygamous situation (Teairra admitted that she knew what the situation was when he asked her to get involved). Anyway, Sade has it in her mind that she’s also going to check Teairra. Next, we find out that RoccStar grew up with Teairra’s cousin. Said cousin calls RoccStar to ask him to look out for TT. RoccStar doesn’t really know Teairra like that but he got her back on the strength of her cousin being his homie. He meets up with her to figure out what’s going on and points out the obvious, which is that Akbar is only still having sex with her to game her into dropping the lawsuit and Teairra admits that she is dickmatized. Duh! She probably has an addictive personality and is replacing substances with Akbar. Despite how dumb TT looks, RoccStar still claims to have her back as long as she has her own back. In other news, Brooke and Marcus catch up with each other only for Marcus tell her how RoccStar and Solo Lucci confronted him about telling A1 what RoccStar said about allegedly sleeping with Lyrica. We all know that Brooke has been working with RoccStar on the song she stole from Moniece, so it doesn’t sit well with her when Marcus tells her to end all communication with RoccStar. It’s not that serious to Brooke and she plans to continue working with RoccStar anyway. Marcus even gives her the ultimatum that their engagement could be off if she moves forward with communication. We all know that thirsty Brooke is going to do what she wants. Of course, she agrees to co-host RoccStar’s album release party with Teairra. She and Teairra aren’t even on good terms, but they manage to keep it cute at the party. However, we all get nervous Sade shows up to confront TT. It doesn’t go totally left but none of this sits right with RoccStar, who is quite irritated by the fact that Sade even had the gall to come with some drama. Tearra decides to meet up with a new lawyer to figure out a new course of action with her lawsuit. Obviously, the lawyer tells her the same thing everyone else has said, she looks ridiculous and has weakened her case. How about we get a storyline where Teairra isn’t in rehab or looking stupid chasing after some trifling man? How about Teairra apologize to actual victims of revenge porn who truly weren’t aware of the situation? Finally, the episode concludes with RoccStar confronting Akbar. RoccStarr calls Akbar a b—h out the gate. They charge at each other but you know how good Love and Hip-Hop security is so they don’t get to fight. It turns into a roasting session instead and in the end, RoccStar says what he needs to say which is that Akbar needs to leave Teairra alone. Akbar tells RoccStar to tell Teairra to “Stop calling daddy” and that’s that. In the end, Teairra Mari owes actual victims of revenge porn an apology. She’s no victim. She’s a willing participant in this madness. It’s hard not to believe that she didn’t know what Akbar’s intentions were. Attention is a helluvadrug.

A High School Football Team Takes A Knee To Take A Stand

See more here:

Topics of inequality and police brutality have been forced to the forefront of American dialogue. Because this is the digital age, everything is online and we’re seeing horrible acts of racism and violence every day. Years ago you would have heard of some of these stories, but you wouldn’t have seen the murder of innocent people who look like you before your own eyes. Now take that trauma that you experience from seeing images of police brutality and racism on repeat, and imagine dealing with that on top of the stress of being a teenager. The football team at an all Black private school in Prince George’s County, Md., has decided to follow in Colin Kaepernick’s footsteps and take a knee during the National Anthem. The team first broached the idea of taking a knee with new coach, Cornell Wade, in late August, according to  NBC News . The first game of the season was a few days away. Josiah Gill, 17, spoke for the team when he said they understood. “We’re taking a knee because of inequality as a whole,” Gill said, according to the NBC News article. “We’re aware of what’s going on in this country as young black males.” “A lot of people love football,” Gill added. “You have them coming from places to see you do something, and why not take a knee, why not do this to show we see what’s going on in the world?” Like many American teenagers, Gill and his teammates have followed the debate over NFL players who kneel to call attention to racial injustice and police bias. As the league and team owners work to figure out how to penalize those players who protest, a handful of high schools around the country have confronted the issue as well. In some places where student-athletes knelt they were punished, or even kicked off of the team. Outside of Houston, two Black football players at a private Christian school who protested during the national anthem were kicked off the team by their white coach. When members of a mostly Black high school football team in Louisiana knelt before a game against a mostly white school, they were met with jeers and racial slurs. And in New Jersey , two referees at a high school football game walked off the field after players knelt, later saying they didn’t like “anyone disrespecting our country, our flag, the armed forces,” according to  NBC News . Some schools have banned the protest, but at Capital Christian Academy, Gill and other players are still kneeling.

Is Netflix Using Racism To Make Black Viewers Watch White Movies?

S ome Black viewers are giving Netflix the serious side-eye after they have been duped into watching predominately white movies that appear to have a Black cast. See Also: Bring It Home! Best Damn Reactions To Andrew Gillum Destroying Ron DeSantis In Florida Debate Stacia L Brown , the writer and creator of the podcast “Hope Chest,” wrote on Twitter, “Other Black @netflix users: does your queue do this? Generate posters with the Black cast members on them to try to compel you to watch? This film stars Kristen Bell/Kelsey Grammer and these actors had maaaaaybe a 10 cumulative minutes of screen time. 20 lines between them, tops.” Other Black @netflix users: does your queue do this? Generate posters with the Black cast members on them to try to compel you to watch? This film stars Kristen Bell/Kelsey Grammer and these actors had maaaaybe a 10 cumulative minutes of screen time. 20 lines between them, tops. pic.twitter.com/Sj7rD8wfOS — stacia l. brown (@slb79) October 18, 2018 However, according to The Guardian , this is just Netflix’s crafty way of marketing. “Last December, Netflix rolled out a new algorithm to begin serving up personalised images to its now 137 million subscriber-base,” reported The Guardian. “‘Artwork personalisation’ became a priority after the company’s own research proved that it was the biggest influencing factor on a viewer deciding what to watch, constituting 82% of their focus. Multiple images are now generated for each and every title and change regularly to lure audiences depending on their tastes and previous viewing history.” However, London podcast host  Tolani Shoneye  told The Guardian, “It’s intrusive. It’s the dark side of marketing. I noticed it a while ago with a Zac Efron film that I’d already seen, but Netflix kept showing me it as a Michael B. Jordan movie.” Netflix released the following statement, “We don’t ask members for their race, gender or ethnicity so we cannot use this information to personalise their individual Netflix experience. The only information we use is a member’s viewing history.” Of course Netflix doesn’t ask for your racial background, but using a member’s viewing history to dupe the Black viewers into watching a 95 percent white film is false advertising. Netflix needs to do better — or maybe create more Black, original content.

Marshawn Lynch Launches Initiative To Provide The Homeless With Smartphones

W hen NFL star Marshawn Lynch isn’t on the football field, he’s focused on giving back to those in need. His latest philanthropic project will provide the homeless population in Oakland and Seattle with smartphones, AfroTech reported. Marshawn Lynch Wants To Put Cellphones In The Hands Of The Homeless #AfroTech https://t.co/wyAsmTDxOO pic.twitter.com/genMidAF0m — Afrotech (@AfroTech) October 18, 2018 Lynch’s mobile device company Beast Mobile has joined forces with Fam1st Family Foundation to create an initiative called Phones for the Homeless. Through the project, 3,000 homeless people on the West Coast will receive smartphones and three months of free service. Each phone will come equipped with the Beast Mobile app which allows users to receive credits for playing games, participating in surveys and watching videos. Beast Mobile and Fam1st Family Foundation launched this project in efforts to examine the habits and whereabouts of individuals who are homeless so that they can better serve that population. They also hope that through this project those who receive the phones will be able to stay in touch with their loved ones and access the internet for resources. “There is a myth out there that homeless people already get phones from the Government. To qualify for a phone you must already receive some type of assistance like food stamps or Medicare/Medicaid. Also you need to have a home address which homeless people do not have,” read the initiative’s website . “With Seattle having the 3rd largest homeless population in the U.S. and Oakland (and the Bay Area) having the 4th largest, Beast Mobile and Fam1st Family Foundation are committed to providing a solution to help city officials communicate with this previously untrackable demographic.” Phones for the Homeless is currently working towards raising $250,000 to provide individuals with three months of free service. Bright Corporation has pledged to donate 3,000 phones. Homelessness has been a pressing issue in our country. A recent study revealed that Black Americans are about three times more likely to live on the streets than white Americans.
