Little League legend Mo'ne Davis to play softball at HU https://t.co/CKPzmLrUEU pic.twitter.com/KfTtdmCxKa — Daily Press (@Daily_Press) December 19, 2018 The 17-year-old Philadelphia native first made major waves in the sports industry four years ago after becoming the first girl to pitch a shutout game during the Little League World Series, the news outlet writes. Once news spread about her accomplishments in the realm of sports, she became an athlete to watch. She was the first Little League player to grace a national cover of Sports Illustrated , she landed a spot on TIME ’s “25 Most Influential Teens of 2014 List,” and she secured a book deal. The world was watching to see what her next move in sports would be. Davis recently inked a letter-of-intent to play at Hampton. She was considering other schools that included Coppin State University, Southern University, the University of Massachusetts, the University of Pennsylvania, and Bethune-Cookman University, but thought that Hampton would be a good fit. Angela Nicholson —the head softball coach at Hampton—says she had no clue that Davis wanted to play softball in college until she received an email from her a few months ago. “She sent me an email, and I invited her to camp. She came to camp, and she was phenomenal. That’s how it all started,” she told the news outlet. “Having Mo’ne is great. I know she doesn’t want it to be about her, and neither do we. We want her to have a great experience and be like everybody else.” She will reportedly join the team as a middle infielder. Davis currently attends Springside Chestnut Hill Academy in Philadelphia where she plays softball, basketball, and soccer.

Angelina Jolie: I’ll Tell the Whole World How Awful Brad Pitt Really Is!

Now that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reached a custody deal at the eleventh hour, what’s next? Apparently, Angelina is planning to expose exactly what sort of man her famous ex-husband really is. Per reports, she is planning to do a tell-all interview on television. But there’s a twist. … RadarOnline   reports that Angelina Jolie is planning to do a tasteful tell-all on television. She and Brad have settled their divorce and even reached a custody agreement, but the anomisity lingers. Even so, don’t expect her to directly insult Brad. “Part of their settlement includes a clause that prevents them from directly trashing each other,” an insider reveals. The source continues: “but Angie’s smart enough to find a way around that.” Good for her. We have all seen the way that Angelina has been demonized in the press during her divorce from Brad. So many people seemed convinced that she was some sort of monster for keeping her kids from him as much as she could. “These two hate each other still with a passion,” the insider shares. That much has been very clear from their court battle. “And,” the source continues. “She’s very keen to set things straight, even if it’s done subtly.” So she probably can’t tell the world exactly what Brad did on that fateful plane ride that caused her to file for divorce and report him tot he FBI for child-abuse. Maddox will be an adult soon and perhaps he’ll feel like sharing his story then. In the mean time, Angelina will find her own way to indirectly get the point across. “When she goes on TV,” the insider reveals, she has a plan. “She’s likely to promote charities that support women after abusive relationships, single moms dealing with deadbeat dads,” the source says. “That type of stuff,” the insider notes. “That’ll be indirectly aimed at Brad.” Brad has appeared to do his best to push his sob story. In so many reports, he’s portrayed as a victim whose family was destroyed by Angelina’s capricious whims and who just wants his kids back. While we don’t know exactly what happened, it’s safe to say that Angelina didn’t wake up one day with a sudden impulse to turn her life upside down. It appears that everything that she has done since filing for divorce has been for the couples six children. No matter what, of Maddox, 17, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 10, all come first. To that end, she’s been portrayed as a heartless villain. Perhaps, with her planned tell-all, this will change. Of course, is it really a “tell-all” interview if she cannot, in fact, tell all even if she has the desire? Doing an interview and promoting some extremely worthy causes is hardly the same as calling out your ex. Of course, that may be exactly why Angelina is reportedly so keen on doing it. If she doesn’t mention Brad in any negative way at all, it will give her total plausible deniability. But even if Angelina doesn’t say anything, people will doubtless read into her every word — and into what she doesn’t reveal. Hopefully, the truth will come out eventually. And remember: Maddox turns 18 in early August of 2019. We will be very interested in hearing if he has anything about his parents and their divorce that he would like to share.

Stanning For Savage: All Signs Point To 21 Releasing Stalker Song… Is It Aimed At Amber Rose?

Source: SplashNews / Splash News Is 21 Savage Releasing A Song About Amber Rose? Tuesday night BOSSIP was among a select group of press allowed to preview 21 Savage’s #Motel21 activation, located at a motel on Glenwood Avenue in Decatur near where the rapper grew up. The motel was transformed in advance of 21’s ‘I Am > I Was’ album release this Friday, December 21 and guests can register to attend his listening events in advance of the release on his website HERE . Source: Courtesy Epic Records / Courtesy Epic Records The activation includes numerous hotel rooms which have been staged using inspiration from 21’s lyrics from the new project. Some rooms feature designer inspired art murals, others include weapons and bullets, others have sex workers and strippers, but perhaps the most jarring room features an actress who is clearly obsessed with 21. The walls are covered in maps with string pinpointing different cities where the rapper has been spotted or where she hopes to visit with him. Several letters to the rapper are taped to the walls along with trash and debris that viewers are lead to believe the woman has collected from 21’s discarded trash. Source: Courtesy Epic Records / Courtesy Epic Records There’s also notes addressed to Amber — demanding she leave the rapper alone and accusing her of conducting a publicity stunt. Source: Courtesy Epic Records / Courtesy Epic Records Multiple photos of the former couple are posted on the walls, many with Amber’s head cut out or obscured. Audio snippets from the project were not available at the time of the press preview but it seems pretty likely that 21’s new project includes a song about a woman obsessed with him — and all the Amber mentions have us wondering what dirty details will come out about the couple’s former relationship. Did you think 21 was going to mention Amber on his project? Check out more photos from the activation below:

Omarosa Takes A Swipe At John Kelly’s Dismissal As White House Chief Of Staff

Read more from the original source:

T here’s an old saying: what goes around comes around. That’s how Omarosa Manigault Newman responded to news that the White House chief of staff John Kelly , who fired Omarosa last year, was ousted from his job. The former reality TV star called Kelly’s dismissal “karma.” SEE ALSO: Omarosa Kept Away From Trump As John Kelly Limits Oval Office Access President Donald Trump announced Saturday that Kelly will leave his job by the end of this year. Kelly was increasingly isolated in the White House and lost favor with the president, according to the Associated Press . “John Kelly will be leaving — I don’t know if I can say retiring — but he’s a great guy. John Kelly will be leaving at the end of the year. We’ll be announcing who will be taking John’s place — it might be on an interim basis. I’ll be announcing that over the next day or two, but John will be leaving at the end of the year. … I appreciate his service very much,” the president stated. #karma https://t.co/GioEfHOF2B — OMAROSA (@OMAROSA) December 8, 2018 In December 2017, Kelly fired Omarosa who worked at the White House as an aide to Trump. Omarosa provided NBC News with an audio recording in August of Kelly firing her in the Situation Room. “It’s come to my attention over the last few months that there’s been some pretty, in my opinion, significant integrity issues,” Kelly told Omarosa. She took it as a threat when Kelly suggested that a smooth exit from the White House would help her reputation. “I think it’s important to understand that if we can make this a friendly departure we can all be, you know, you can look at your time here in the White House as a year of service to the nation, and then you can go on without any type of difficulty in the future relative to your reputation,” Kelly said on the tape. Kelly, a retired Marine Corps four-star general came to the White House in June 2017 after serving briefly as Trump’s homeland security secretary. He was expected to be the adult in the room and bring order to the chaotic White House. His no-nonsense approach to managing the White House and who had access to the president alienated some Trump allies, causing him to become isolated to have a diminished role, according to the Associated Press. At the same time, he openly talked about the tribulations of working for the president, which angered Trump. During this time at the White House, Kelly created controversy when he tried to slander Florida’s Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson , who was feuding with Trump over his mistreatment of Army Sgt. La David Johnson ’s widow Myeshia Johnson . Kelly also ignited controversy when he disregarded slavery as a cause of the Civil War and praised Confederate General Robert E. Lee during an interview with Fox News.

Lindsay Lohan Exposes Cleavage, Explains Why She Got Punched In the Face

Remember when Kim Kardashian “broke the internet” with her ass-centric Paper magazine cover? Well, that iconic pic inspired more than just a Wreck-It Ralph sequel. Paper has been trying to recreate that web-shattering success ever since, but this year they’re relying less on nudity, and more on confessional interviews with the tabloid queens of yesteryear. First, Amanda Bynes opened up to the magazine revealing exactly what was going through her mind during the extended meltdown that brought an end to her acting career. Now, Lindsay Lohan is spilling the tea in hopes of receiving a similarly compassionate response from social media. There are two problems with that plan, of course: 1. Lindsay effed up so hard for so many years that it’s impossible to address all of her scandals in a single interview. 2. While Amanda was self-destructive, Lindsay often turns her destructive impulses outward , negatively impacting the lives of those who have the misfortune to cross her path: Lindsay Lohan Accuses Refugee Mother of Trafficking, Gets Punched in Face Remember when Lindsay got punched in the face while she was harassing a Middle Eastern family because she insanely assumed they had kidnapped their kids? Yeah, that’s some next-level bigoted paranoia, even by the standards of Trump Era America. So it’s a good thing that — even though Lindsay has a new reality show to promote — the folks at Paper decided to focus on that ugly incident in their Lindsay interview. We assume the interview basically started with, “So — what in the actual f–k was that?” At first, Linds, dodged the question, saying that she wouldn’t talk about it over the phone, but would tell her story face-to-face. Naturally, she totally failed made good on her promise: “There’s actresses, there’s several of them to my knowledge that don’t use Instagram or Twitter. But I feel like you sort of have to,” she said, by way of dodging the question. “It’s your way of controlling the narrative. I recently made the mistake of having my phone recording live video, and that I learned from,” Lindsay added. “But I think it’s also important because if you’re doing something and you want to give direct access to your fans, you can contact them and see their thoughts and get an opinion.” So after offering that lofty explanation over the phone, Linds flew into NYC from Mykonos like some coke-fueled Carmen SanDiego. She showed up to her Paper photoshoot on time (which her publicist hilariously told the reporter “to note”), but when the subject of her one-woman anti-human trafficking campaign came up, Lindsay was, unsurprisingly, “too tired” to talk. “I read the situation wrong,” she later said in an e-mailed statement. “I’ve learned from it. And that’s all I have to say.” Thanks for that insight, Linds. Anytime you get punched in the face and the whole world applauds, we think it’s safe to say you “read the situation wrong.” “I would love to know why I get constantly clobbered in the press,” Lindsay said in her interview. “I could do 99 things right and one thing wrong, but it’s that one thing that will be focused on.” Well, Lindsay, when the one thing you did wrong is harass an immigrant family for the crime of having accents, yeah — people are gonna focus on that. Asked about her hard-partying ways, the 32-year-old former actress stated that those days are behind her … for the most part. “I like to have fun, but that doesn’t mean I need to go out and drink and be crazy,” Lohan told the mag. “I have a good relationship with that. It’s funnier to watch other people party.” Wait, so she’s out there playing ICE agent completely sober?! Jeez, this situation is more serious than we thought.

Jenelle Evans Finally Speaks Out on Rumors She Dumped David Eason

Jenelle Evans and David Eason are bad at keeping secrets and even worse at lying. That's bad news for a couple with so much to hide, but good news for those of us who enjoy observing the carnival sideshow that is life on the Land. Of course, it's possible that interest in the Easons' lives wouldn't be so intense if they weren't constantly spilling the tea all over social media. David got fired from Teen Mom 2   way back in February, and we still know everything he does, because he's the thirstiest man alive. After they over-share, Jenelle and David usually regret it and try to backpedal, which is exactly what they're doing with news of their latest breakup. Take a look: 1. The Easons Jenelle just posted this photo to prove to fans that all is well in the Eason household. The only problem is, we know for a fact that’s not true. 2. Ya Gotta Keep ‘Em Separated Earlier this week, Jenelle changed her relationship status on her Facebook page to “separated.” 3. The Obvious Conclusion Not surprisingly, fans took this as an indication that she and David had at least temporarily called it quits. 4. Jenelle Claps Back But despite the fact that Jenelle herself started the rumor, she responded to it the same way she responds to every situation — with seething outrage, 5. Jenelle Is Mad Jenelle took to Instagram with this hilarious post about how she plans to unfriend “everyone” all because someone sold her info to the press. 6. Delusions of Grandeur This probably goes without saying, but no one sold Jenelle’s info. View Slideshow
