Tory Lanez And Blonde Model Get Close In Instagram Photo Tory Lanez likes ’em thick and possible blonde? The R &B superstar was spotted on the page of a very popular internet model that goes by the name of Amy Jackson. The blue-eyed vixen posted a snap shot of herself and Tory playfully embracing after missing a facetime call together. Do you think they were calling Tory’s mama to tell her that he’s sprung off the Becky’s magic box?? Probably not…but the post seems significant and odd. Amy usually plasters modeling photos of herself all over her page, so we can conclude Tory is somewhat important to her. Enough for her to “miss” his vibes. What do you think “vibes” is code for? Meanwhile on Tory’s Instagram page, there’s no sign of Amy, but a photo of Tory in the company of another unknown vanilla banger. Think he’s trying to throw us off from who he’s really smashing? Hit the flip to see more of Tory’s potential swirly-jawn Amy Jackson.
Khloe And Lamar’s Divorce Will Be Official December 17 It’s been a long time coming, but next week, the on-going saga of Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom will come to a legal close. According to CNN , a judge in L.A. signed off on the embattled couple’s divorce filing, the separation will be official on December 17. In court documents obtained by CNN, Khloe Kardashian-Odom cited “irreconcilable differences.” She previously filed for divorce in 2013, but withdrew the petition in October when Odom was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel. Furthermore, the filing states the company that Khloe and Lamar started together, Khlomar, will be dissolved and neither of them will received spousal support. All this legal stuff seems a bit superfluous considering Khloe done had ’bout 50-11 boyfriends since she first split with Lamar, but at least they can both finally move on without this hanging over them.

New Mexico Cops Fist Bump Over The Body Of A Smothered Dead Suspect Seriously, these tone-deaf sheriffs and police chiefs have the unmitigated gall to wonder why a lot of people don’t f**k with them. This is why. Because there’s a lot of cops who just ain’t s#!t. Via KOB The family of a man detained by law enforcement at a Bernalillo Wal-Mart in 2015 believes police tools and tactics contributed to his death. Town of Bernalillo and Pueblo of Santa Ana police officers placed a spit sock on the man’s face and laid him on his belly with his hands and feet restrained behind him. Police reports reveal Ben Anthony C de Baca, who had a history of mental illness, got into an argument with a family member on Sept. 6, 2015. He drove to the Bernalillo Wal-Mart, hit a parked car and once inside the store began to destroy merchandise. Wal-Mart patrons helped subdue him before Bernalillo and Santa Ana Pueblo police arrived. That police arrival was the beginning of the end of Anthony C de Baca… “I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe.” We seem to hear that a lot just before cops kill people… Image via KOB

Common Talks 13th , Social Activism Common is really living up to his original rap name “Common Sense” these days. The rapper’s activism anthem “Letter to the Free” is the end-title track on 13th and has already been nominated for a 2016 Critics’ Choice Documentary Award for “Best Song in a Documentary.” The song’s lyrics tackle America’s racial divide and reflect the film’s focus on the prison system as a new form of slavery in America. It’s also featured on Common’s own latest album, “Black America Again.” Take a listen: We caught up with Common to chat about the single, his invovlement with the project, and how his affiliation with Ava Duvernay movies have shaped his musical direction and activism… What made you want to become involved with 13th in the way that you have? 13th hit me in a way…it was like I know some of this, I didn’t know about this ALEC stuff, I didn’t even know the 13th amendment said that — I’ll be honest — I didn’t even realize that the 13th amendment said that if you’re a “criminal,” you can [legally] be a slave. So all that information, I’m still continuing to learn. It’s been an awakening for the country. This is part of American history and the same way we teach our kids about the people who came to revolutionize this country, we need to teach them about slavery too. We need to teach them about slavery and how that ties into where we are now. If they can see that, they would be able to put two and two together and start functioning differently. Your name has become more and more synonymous with “wokeness” in a sense since your involvement in Selma a few years back. How do you feel that movie experience prepared you for projects like 13th and even placing some of the messages you have in your latest album? Well, Selma was definitely one of the moments that changed my life forever. One of the greatest experiences of my life. One of the reasons is being introduced to the Civil Rights Movement in another way. It’s more than just researching and reading it in textbooks. You’re talking to people. Ambassador Andrew Young came and had a talk the first day of our rehearsal and said “What are you willing to die for? Live for that.” He said that was the whole mentality of the people of the Civil Rights movement. “We’re willing to die for freedom, so we’re going to live for freedom. We’re dedicating each day toward that.” One of the practical things I was able to connect with was the fact that each and every person that was a part of that movement, each day they contributed something towards fighting for that freedom. They dedicated their lives to saying “okay, some part of my day will be dedicated towards that.” I felt like, I have been doing things and putting my spirit and energy into wanting to see change, but I had to do more. I had to contribute my days into being more active and more present — not only in the music. So then, aside from the music, what ways did you begin pursuing to be more active? That made me think about things, and question how can I use my creativity not only towards the art that I’m doing that is socio-political work, but how can I use my mind towards these communities. So that made me start going into communities and start to listen and made me more political than I had ever been. Before I would think — “Okay, I need to vote for the president.” And “I’ll vote for this person I know about.” But now, I need to know. If I have a problem with police injustice and police killing Black people, I need to know what things I can do policy-wise to help change things. Who is the person that selects the police chief? Who is the person that sets up the training for the policemen in this state and that state? Not that I’m going to know everything, but even if it’s connecting with groups that do know, so that I can get that information and see how I can contribute my name, celebrity, whatever access I have, and creativity towards that change. What action has 13th pushed you to take? With this movie, I’ll put it this way: If I’m going to talk it and rap it, I’ll have to be it. So I will be at somebody’s prison — just building with brothers and sisters about getting out and what life will be like getting out and trying to provide help in that way. I even realized this morning from Kim Fox, the State’s Attorney of Chicago — she comes from Cabrini-Green in Chicago so she’s for the people, she comes from it — she says one of the biggest issues is, they don’t assist people when they’re about to get out of jail, so when they come out, they’re shocked. And it’s hard to get jobs, hard to get housing, you can’t vote in certain places, so then you feel second-class, and then you end up going back to that same cycle. So, if someone has been convicted of a crime, when they’re about to get out, when do we start training them to work on that? I want to help with figuring that out. Nice! Great to see a celeb taking his influence and really focusing on making a positive impact with it, right? Have YOU taken a listen to “Black America Again?” What did you think? Splash
Republicans In Ohio Pass “Heartbeat Bill” Banning Abortion The United States government has a sick obsession with telling women how they are supposed to treat their bodies . The issue of abortion has been hotly contested for YEARS now, and in the days before Donald’s inauguration, those opposed to the often-necessary medical procedure have decided that now is their chance to rule women’s wombs. According to CNN , Ohio Republicans have passed what is known as the “Heartbeat Bill” which bans abortion (regardless of rape or incest) after a fetus’ heartbeat is audible. Usually that would occur about 6 weeks into a pregnancy. “One, a new President, new Supreme Court justice appointees change the dynamic, and that there was a consensus in our caucus to move forward,” Ohio Senate President Keith Faber, a Republican from Celina, told reporters after the final vote. Asked if he thought the bill would survive a legal challenge, he said: “I think it has a better chance than it did before.” Former Presidential candidate, Gov. John Kasich, now has 10 days to decide whether or not he wants to veto the bill. Hopefully he will. How arrogant is it to wield religious morality (because that’s really all anti-abortion people want to do) as a weapon against women, especially when the wielding is being done by men who don’t have to concern themselves with child birth?

Charlamagne Challenges “Woke” Black Women To Be More Like Tomi Lahren Even after being called a soft-shoeing Sambo and Satan incarnate , Charlamagne is still defending his budding acquaintanceship with racist republican ranter Tomi Lahren tooth and nail against Black twitter. Charlamagne went to Twitter to continue to sing the talking head’s praises, and even suggested that Black women who consider themselves “woke” and fighting for the community could look to The Blaze personality for cues on how to better get their message across: SMH. Honestly, we see what he’s trying to say, but this delivery is just NOT the business… acting like Tomi Lahren somehow changed the game by hopping on TV every five minutes to spout some ignorance that severely (and alt-) right folks just LOVE to hear…especially about Black people. We’re starting to think this guy just wants people to hate him. Black folks with an ounce of racial pride and loyalty anyway. We wonder if Tomi is over at her network fighting to get him some exposure on her platform as hard as he’s going to bat for her… Twitter/Instagram
