One of those scholarships is The Charlotte Post’s Top Senior scholarship , which Kaycee was awarded due to her 4.65-grade point average, work as a peer mentor and other amazing accomplishments. While she was the runner-up for the top prize, she’ll still be awarded a scholarship for her schooling this fall. Kamryn is going to be a Tarheel at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, while her sister Kaycee is set to be a Duke Blue Devil. Kamyrn is looking to pursue studying either business or communications and Kaycee is thinking about African-American studies. The two scholars are both excited to have their independence, and are excited that both their campuses are down the street from each other. “It’s nice knowing that I’m on a different campus and I get to be my own independent person, but if I ever want to see her I can just go so easily and see her,” says Kacyee. “I’m excited to see what it’s going to be like when I get to college,” says Kamryn. These girls will go SO many places. A HOUSE DIVIDED! These West Charlotte HS twins racked up more than ONE MILLION dollars in scholarships for college and for the first time ever they're going in separate directions » https://t.co/nQM9CKyM3u Job well done, Kamyrn and Kaycee! #CMS @CharMeckSchools #Duke #GoHeels pic.twitter.com/cb40MU8UsF — WBTV News (@WBTV_News) May 28, 2019 Congrats ladies!

Authorities Say Document Saying 50 Cent Snitched Were Fabricated

Source: Gotham / Getty Once again the decade-old allegations of 50 Cent being Hip-Hop’s Big Head Rico ( Belly reference) have been shot down. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the document circulating the internet which names 50 Cent as the dime dropper behind Jimmy Henchman’s arrest is indeed a fake. The document in question named Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as the Sprint man who pointed feds in the direction of his old nemesis, Jimmy Henchman for the 2009 murder of 50’s homie, Lodi Jackson. Having already fended off rumors that he had sic’d the feds on Irv Gotti and Murder Inc at the beginning of his multi-platinum career on Shady/Aftermath Records, the new allegation seemed more believable than not to his most staunch haters. But in a twist straight out of a Martin Scorsese movie, Fif took to social media to show paperwork which insinuated that OG Jimmy Henchman was actually a “Frank Castello” type street snitch himself ! But regardless of what 50 might’ve turned up, his reputation of running to po-9 to take down his enemies is well documented in Hip-Hop via rumors and records by rival rappers, but by the looks of things, it seems like this most recent one was a complete farce. In the doc, it says 50 called in anonymously at first to say the cops should be looking into Jimmy as a possible suspect for Lodi’s murder … and allegedly went on to tell cops that he was afraid for his own life in the aftermath. The doc says 50 told cops he’d cooperate with the investigation Thing is … we’ve been told the document is a complete fake. Law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of Lodi and Jimmy’s case tell us … the alleged report was never taken, and 50 was never recorded as having talked to officers working on the matter at the time. This probably still won’t be enough to convince his biggest skeptics that he’s never cooperated with feds to take down his enemies but if we’ve learned anything over the past few decades it’s that nothing can keep 50 from laughing and trolling his rivals all the way to the bank. — Photo: Getty

And is armed with a new set of tennis garb fit for the empowering champ she is. On May 27, the 23-time Grand Slam champion arrived at her first match of the prestigious tournament rocking a wearing a custom-made design by Off-While’s Virgil Abloh for Nike, The Cut reported . The two-piece outfit, along with its matching cape, has a pretty strong message: “Mother, Champion, Queen, Goddess” written in French. Flip through the pics below: View this post on Instagram Let the Roland Garros begin. Here is my French Open look designed by @virgilabloh and @nike. A post shared by Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) on May 26, 2019 at 6:00am PDT After winning in three sets, in a post-match interview, Serena opened up to Associated Press about the meaning of her outfit. “[The words on the jacket] are things that mean a lot to me and reminders for me and for everyone that wants to wear it,” adding, “Just remind everyone that they can be champions and are queens. So I love that about it. It is a lot to carry, but so is being Serena Williams” This is the second time that the 37-year-old has worked with Abloh, who designed her amazing U.S. Open tutu outfit last year . As we previously reported, last year’s catsuit was more than just a fashion statement, it was also a means of preventing blood clots, which Serena has a history of developing. But that still didn’t stop French Tennis Federation president Bernard Giudicellli from updating the dress code to ban catsuits, saying “I think that sometimes we’ve gone too far … One must respect the game and the place.” As if Serena has ever disrespected this game. She is the game. We’re just glad to see her back!

Wait…What Year Is It?: Apple Announces New Updated iPod Touch

Read the original here:

Source: Apple / iPod Touch Nope, this isn’t “fake news,” Apple is definitely bringing back the iPod Touch but with some new upgrades. The company that Jobs built announced it will be updating the device which hasn’t seen any improvements since 2015. The new iPod Touch still looks like its predecessor with a 4-inch display, a home button and comes in multiple colors but will be sporting a new A10 Fusion system-on-a-chip under the hood. The updated iPod Touch runs on iOS 12 like the latest iPhone models and will allow owners to launch ARkit apps and even start group FaceTime conversations. Unlike the latest generation of iPhones, the new iPod Touch does not feature Touch ID or Face ID so to unlock the device you will need a passcode. Also, it will feature a headphone jack, something we wished Apple would put back on its iPhones again. This latest move by Apple comes as a surprise, but we can definitely see the potential for Apple to pull in coins. The updated iPod Touch is cheaper than Apple’s latest handsets, $199 will get you a 32GB, $299 128GB device and if you got some extra money laying around for $399 you can purchase a touch with 256GB of storage. It’s gonna take you a while to fill that bad boy up. Now if you’re wondering who would be in the market for an iPod Touch, there are plenty of potential customers.  This device would be perfect for the person who would rather have their music on a separate device, making more room for your photos on your phone. We can also see kids jumping to get the new iPod Touch because of it coming in six new colors space gray, white, gold, blue, pink and (PRODUCT)RED. Also, it works well with wireless speakers and does allow access to streaming platforms such as Apple Music which will help alleviate the strain on your iPhone battery and help you conserve juice. The new iPod Touch is available now via Apple.com, the Apple app, or the company’s flagship locations. This news comes on the heels of Apple “confirming”three new iPhone models . Do you see yourselves buying a new iPod Touch? Or do you feel this is just another money grab by the company?

Source: Ivan Nikolov/WENN.com / WENN Kit Harington  reportedly checked himself into a rehab facility due to the stress of  Game Of Thrones and alcohol use. According to  Page Six , the 32-year-old Harington has been in the facility for weeks. “The end of ‘GoT’ really hit Kit hard,” an unnamed source told the website. “He realized ‘this is it — this is the end’, it was something they had all worked so hard on for so many years. He had a moment of, what next? He’s in the clinic predominantly for stress and exhaustion and also alcohol.” According to the source, Harington has been in the facility for a month and his family is encouraging the stay. “His wife Rose is being extremely supportive.” they said. “Right now, he just needs peace and quiet.” His rep confirmed the news. “ Kit has decided to utilize this break in his schedule as an opportunity to spend some time at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues,” his rep told E! News . Harington, who played Jon Snow on the show has often discussed how the criticism of  Thrones has weighed on him. Sophie Turner shared similar concerns with criticism of her role as Sansa Stark on the show. “I think no matter what anyone thinks about this season—and I don’t mean to sound mean about critics here—but whatever critic spends half an hour writing about this season and makes their [negative] judgment on it, in my head they can go f**k themselves,” he told Esquire . “‘Cause I know how much work was put into this. I know how much people cared about this. I know how much pressure people put on themselves and I know how many sleepless nights working or otherwise people had on this show.” RELATED:  Game of Thrones Stars Unite At Kit Harington & Rose Leslie’s Wedding [PHOTOS] RELATED:  The Starks Come Out On Top, ‘Game of Thrones’ Fans Torn On The Finale RELATED:  Emilia Clarke Worried Beyoncé Would Hate Daenerys After ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 8

Cops Kill People: Bodycam Footage Shows San Antonio Police Gunning Down Unarmed 18-Year-Old Charles Roundtree

Source: picture alliance / Getty Bodycam Video Shows San Antonio Police Shooting Unarmed Charles Roundtree All hyperbole aside, this literally seems like an everyday occurrence now. According to SACurrent , another person of color killed by a bloodlusty cop who’s down to squeeze first and ask questions last. 18-year-old Charles Roundtree was killed on October 17, 2018 when Officer Steve Casanova shot him in the chest in response to a criminal complaint. Maria Herrera and Esteban Preciado called the cops to report that a man named Davante Snowden had assaulted them. When Casanova arrived at the home to speak to Snowden, he encountered Charles Roundtree and a woman, Taylor Singleton. Without introducing himself as cop, Casanova opened the cracked front door and said “What’s up, man?” to which Snowden responded, “Who the f**k is this?!” At this point, Casanova, an unidentified officer, demands to see the men’s hands and fires two shots. SAPD had originally reported one of the shots fired had gone through Snowden’s buttocks and into Roundtree’s chest. In her account of the shooting, Singleton says the shot that went through Snowden had gone in to the wall toward the neighbor’s house, and Casanova had hit Roundtree in a separate shot. Roundtree’s family has filed suit against the SAPD stating the Snowden was unarmed as the DNA test on the alleged weapon came back negative. They also charge that officer Casanova did not attempt to administer help to Charles as he had a hole in his chest. Casanova is on admin duty but is still currently employed by the police department.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: BunnyGate Returns!

Tuesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was a real hoot.  Kim Richards returned, Lisa Rinna dressed up as Erika Jayne, and there was even some BunnyGate drama. The episode kicked off with Lisa dressing up as Erika, and she nailed it. The purpose of the fancy dress was for Kyle Richards’ Halloween party.  When the party was in full swing, Kim walked in. If you watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online , you know the last time they spoke on the show was during the Season 7 reunion.  Kim returned a teddy bear to Rinna she had bought for her grandson. It was down to the way the two women butted heads during that particular season.  Kim could not forgive Rinna for telling Eden Sassoon that she (Kim) was not sober and “close to death.” Rinna was shocked because she did not know Kim was going to be at the event. Rinna lapped up playing the version of Erika and brought up BunnyGate.  “You know, I wanna say one thing. Kim, you giving Lisa Rinna that bunny was really c–ty,” Rinna said.  When Kim did not respond, Rinna continued to repeat it until she got a reaction.  “I don’t recall Erika being quite like that,” Kim complained.  Kim then turned to Dorit, Kyle, and Camille to complain about Rinna for being silly and “running around in Erika’s ponytails.” Denise Richards appeared out of nowhere and unleashed holy hell on Kim.    “I think she looks great… Isn’t it about a f–king stuffed animal that we’re talking about? And you know what, it really hurt her feelings,” the new cast member shouted.  “That is a lie,” Kim shot back. “It’s not a f–king lie, Kim. It hurt her feelings!” Denise countered, before trying to tell Kim to “let it go.” Both Kim and Kyle were livid, but the whole thing pushed Kim to find Rinna for a good old sit down.  “I’m not looking for a fight, Lisa,” Kim said to her nemesis. In a true twist, Rinna wanted to put the past behind them.  Kim wanted an apology, but Rinna felt like Kim owed her one. The two ladies finally put the past behind them and agreed to cut the B.S. It’s not often that these ladies manage to move on from things. At this rate, we’ll still be talking about PuppyGate in ten years.  In any case, Brandi Glanville’s big return is sure to shake up the dynamics. She’s back next Tuesday.
