She said she’s also launching her collection with PrettyLittleThing. “It’s something I worked really hard on,” she said. “The theme is a bougie, rich woman enjoying the pleasures in life and the fruits of her labor.” Asked about her own style, Saweetie said “It’s bipolar – you never know what you’re gonna get from me!” Hit the flip for more pics from the show:

Too Far? 50 Cent Makes Vicious Comment About Michael Jackson While Responding To Paris Jackson

See the rest here:

A ll is fair in love and clap back for 50 Cent . And the rapper renowned for his pettiness recently took to an extreme when responding to Paris Jackson about her father, Michael Jackson . See Also:  ‘I Thought It Was A Hoax’: Sparkle Talks R. Kelly’s Marriage To Aaliyah The budding feud apparently first started when 50 Cent posted a video to his Instagram with the following caption: “A ll I’m saying is I never seen MJ come out like this.” View this post on Instagram All I’m saying is I never seen MJ come out like this A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent) on Sep 5, 2019 at 7:02am PDT   That prompted Paris Jackson, 21, to respond from her verified account: “true legends don’t need to exert outrageous amounts of energy just to grasp your attention. stillness, my friend. stillness. more power in stillness than you can probably understand.” When the 44-year-old rapper apparently took offense at Paris’ remark, he went there. “Why am I the bad guy, I understand how you feel Paris, but does anyone care about how the little boys butts feels,” 50 wrote. Paris Jackson had yet to respond to 50’s lewd and unfounded allegations as of Saturday morning. In 1993, Michael Jackson was accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy named Jordan Chandler. In January of 1994, he reportedly settled for $23 million. The accuser’s father committed suicide in 2009, five months after the singer died. Chandler reportedly has never come forward about the allegations and supposedly lives outside of the country. In 2017, when Wade Robson, a choreographer who is featured in “Leaving Neverland,” accused Michael Jackson of sexual assault—even though he’d said in the past the singer didn’t assault him. In 2003, Michael Jackson was charged with seven counts of child molestation and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent to a 13-year-old boy. He was ultimately acquitted of all charges. Robson testified at the 2003 trial, but James Safechuck , the other person featured in “Leaving Neverland,” did not. Many people have maintained the documentary is untrue, including Brett Barnes , who said he knew Michael Jackson when he was child. According to TMZ , the film “implies Jackson molested him as a boy. As for why Barnes thinks this … Wade Robson — one of the singer’s well-known alleged victims — claims in the doc, Barnes ‘replaced him.’ The film then shows Michael and Brett together on tour. Thus, the insinuation.” Barnes testified at Michael Jackson’s criminal trial in 2005 and said he was never assaulted by him. He also tweeted this in January. Not only do we have to deal with these lies, but we’ve also got to deal with people perpetuating these lies. The fact that they fail to do the small amount of research it takes to prove these are lies, by choice or not, makes it even worse. — Brett Barnes (@IAmBrettBarnes) January 30, 2019 Michael Jackson was acquitted of all charges.

Basketball Legend Lisa Leslie To Be Honored With Staples Center Statue

L egendary basketball player Lisa Leslie has broken several barriers for women in the realm of sports. The California native will be recognized in a major way for all of her accomplishments. According to Bleacher Report , she will be honored with a statue outside of the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Lisa Leslie will be honored at the Staples Center with a statue next to some of the greatest players in Lakers history https://t.co/bEYQbfV26V — Sports Illustrated (@SInow) September 5, 2019 The addition of the statue is historic as it will mark the first time that a woman athlete will have a sculpture outside of the arena. It’s undeniable that Leslie is a basketball trailblazer. She was a part of the inaugural WNBA season in 1997. During her career in the league—which lasted 12 years—she hit several milestones. Leslie was the first woman to dunk in a WNBA game and became the first player in the league to reach 6,000 career points. She has two WNBA championship titles under her belt and was named league MVP three times. She also has four Olympic gold medals. Leslie joins a prominent list of other legendary athletes who have been honored with statues outside of the Staples Center including Shaquille O’Neal , Magic Johnson , and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar . There is no word on when the statue will be unveiled. Leslie—who coaches a team in the Big3 league—says that her career moves have always been about opening doors for women in male-dominated spaces. “I always understood and respected the women who came before me. I love the fact that we have so many pioneers of the game and they get to still be a part of it,” she told Hoops Hype in an interview. “I’m always cognizant that we’re connected by a thread. And we all know what we’re capable of doing and we appreciate the opportunity to knock down doors and open doors for the other women who are coming in behind us.” News about Leslie’s statue comes shortly after a sculpture of the late legendary tennis player Althea Gibson was unveiled outside of Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York during the U.S. Open tennis tournament.

S pelman College is furthering its efforts to invest in the futures of women of color who want to pursue careers in STEM. According to HBCU Buzz , the Atlanta-based historically Black college received funding for the creation of a science, technology, engineering and math center. Spelman Receives Funding to Establish a Center of Excellence for Minority Women in STEM https://t.co/ONzYehvLWr pic.twitter.com/L6prtVSSbp — HBCU Buzz (@HBCUBuzz) September 6, 2019 The $2 million grant—which was awarded by the Department of Defense—will be used to develop the Center of Excellence for Minority Women in STEM. After noticing a spike in the number of individuals who wanted to major in STEM, school officials decided that they needed to create more outlets to support the women in their journeys. The funds will go towards academic and professional development initiatives as well as a “Women in STEM” speaker series. “The Center aligns with the College’s strategic priorities and ensures that our students are empowered and equipped to enter competitive STEM fields,” said Spelman President Dr. Mary Schmidt Campbell . “We are honored to be awarded this grant, and to have the support of the Department of Defense in assisting Spelman in fulfilling its mission to diversify STEM.” This isn’t the only STEM-related project that the HBCU has worked on this year. In May, the college announced that they were teaming up with Booking.com for the creation of a scholarship fund designed to address the gender gap in the tech industry. There has been a major effort to expand STEM education programs at HBCUs. Earlier this year, Morgan State University won a three-year, $1.6 million Aerospace Workforce and Leadership Development Grant from the nonprofit Base 11 for the creation of a state-of-the-art rocketry lab and student rocketry team.

And it's really, truly not looking good for her. 1. Such a Mess It seems like every single day, the situation with Amber Portwood gets worse. 2.

The Incident So just in case you forgot, Amber was arrested on the morning of July 5th after assaulting boyfriend Andrew Glennon and allegedly chasing him with a machete while he was holding their son, James. 5. Naturally According to Andrew’s story, she was upset because they weren’t able to go see fireworks the day before, and she’d been raging for hours about it. 6.

Source: BreAnna Holmes / Angie Ange In The Morning AUC Student Gets Their Tuition Paid For By Pinky Cole If you somehow haven’t heard of Slutty Vegan yet, it’s one of the fastest-growing vegan restaurants in Atlanta, Georgia. Before they had a storefront and were being sold person to person, the line was already out the door. When Slutty Vegan became a food truck, the lines grew even LONGER. By the time they moved to a brick and mortar store, the line consumed the entire neighborhood it was in. We’re talking police directing traffic and all that for some vegan food. With blessings like that in the form of a serious customer base, the owner & ‘ Fix My Life ‘ booking director Pinky Cole has decided to pass those blessings onto others. One of her most recent good deeds was given to a local student who was having issues getting her school situation squared away. AUC student Khalil Perry posted on social media about his financial troubles, and before he knew it, Pinkly slide right in his DMS. He ended up explaining his whole situation and she ended up taking care of the financial roadblock in his path. YOU LOVE TO SEE IT! Cole paid the rest of Perry’s tuition and now, Khalil is set to go back to school. I still can’t believe it thank you @pinky907 @SluttyVeganATL and the whole AUC for making this happen https://t.co/oGJtUNeI2M — Khalil Perry (@khalilfrmhtxx) September 6, 2019
