Source: Leon Bennett / Johnny Nunez / Getty Blac Chyna And YBN Almighty Jay Seen Together In Houston What’s going on here??? Just a few weeks ago YBN Almighty Jay  accompanied Dream Doll to Colombia while she got her tummy knifed up and took her on a helicopter date while she recovered. But now, it seems the teen is back being friendly with his ex-GF Blac Chyna. The pair was spotted visiting a Houston area restaurant together. Seems like Chyna was on Jay’s turf since (we assume) he lives in Houston. He is signed to Texas area music label Rap-A-Lot. Their reunion is interesting because in a recent ‘ Breakfast Club ‘ interview, Chyna acted like she was completely done “playing” with Jay. But here they are, again… View this post on Instagram Thanks for all the support @theshaderoom @blacchyna @ybnalmightyjay A post shared by The Turkey Leg Hut & Company (@turkeyleghut) on Aug 4, 2019 at 8:13pm PDT Meanwhile, Dream Dol l seems to already know what Jay has been up to. She’s already dropped him like a bad habit. Dream reminded everyone that she’s “single” on her IG page, despite canoodling with the teen just a few weeks ago. View this post on Instagram Stop reporting back to me about niggas actions please and thank you ! A post shared by The Original DreamDoll (@dreamdoll) on Aug 3, 2019 at 9:42pm PDT In related news, Blac Chyna noticeably switched her hair up to red finger waves for her reunion with her teen lover. Are you feeling Chyna’s new hairstyle?

Wait…What? Former Ohio University Star D.J. Cooper Suspended After Drug Test Showed He Was Pregnant

Posted on August 5, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: AFP Contributor / Getty D.J. Cooper Suspended By FIBA For Suspicious Drug Test Results D.J. Cooper, who was once a stand-out basketball player during his time at Ohio University, was suspended from competition by the International Basketball Federation (better known as FIBA) back in 2018. Now, according to a new report from Eurohoops , Cooper’s two-year-long suspension came after a drug test administered by the governing body revealed that he was pregnant. Cooper–who was looking to join the Bosnian national team last year–tested positive for human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone that’s produced by pregnant women. Of course, this means that the urine used for the test wasn’t actually his, but instead, came from Cooper’s pregnant girlfriend. FIBA immediately suspended the player for fraud. Cooper’s suspension means that he is ineligible to play internationally until June of 2020. D.J. played for the Bobcats from 2009-2013, starting in nearly every game in his collegiate career. After going undrafted, the guard took his talents to Europe. He played two seasons in the Greek League, for both Panathinaikos and AEK Athens, and then three in the French league with three different teams. So, for anyone out there looking to pass a drug test with their significant other’s pee–you should probably consider the fact that pregnancy is detectable through urine.

A ctress Keke Palmer has broken several barriers in the realm of entertainment. She was the first Black person to play the role of Cinderella on Broadway and she also made history as television’s youngest talk show host five years ago.

Keke Palmer Nears Deal To Join ‘Strahan And Sara’ As Third Co-Host https://t.co/dwYv9QWSvb pic.twitter.com/gXiyncyWsa — Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) August 1, 2019 Palmer has made several guest appearances on the show hosted by former NFL player Michael Strahan and journalist Sara Haines .

The Strahan and Sara team hopes that her presence on the daytime talk show will attract a younger audience. “Keke has been so much fun filling in, so they decided to make her an offer,” an individual involved in the deal told Page Six . “The audience knows her and she’s got great chemistry with both [hosts].” The deal is slated to be finalized soon. Palmer hopes that her journey will inspire Black youth to reach for the stars. “I just want them to know that they can achieve many things if they believe that they can,” she said in an interview with BET . “I know that sounds like a cliche or maybe even corny, but honestly it is the truth, you must believe that all things are possible. Having faith is so important.” The 25-year-old has several other projects in the works. She released a new single dubbed “Twerk N Flirt” on August 2. She also stars in the upcoming movie Hustlers with Cardi B and Jennifer Lopez . The film is slated to hit theaters this fall.

Posted on August 4, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

I t’s been over a year since Debra Lee stepped down from the helm of BET, and the businesswoman is continuing to make power moves. According to Black Enterprise , Lee was recently appointed to join AT&T’s board of directors. Debra Lee, former chairman and CEO of BET Networks, joined AT&T's board while she is leaving Twitter's board https://t.co/We4XdgNIat — Variety (@Variety) July 29, 2019 Lee was tapped to join the board of the telecommunications company for her business acumen and leadership in the media industry. During her tenure as the CEO and chairman of BET, she developed new platforms and outlets that celebrated Black entertainment and artistry and she was a leading force in increasing the network’s budget by 50 percent. She started her journey with BET in 1986 and worked hard to rise up the ranks. Amongst some of the projects that she spearheaded was the creation of BET.com, the BET Awards, the BET Experience festival and the Centric network. She joins AT&T’s board of directors after the company acquired Time Warner in an $85.4 billion deal. “Debra’s outstanding leadership, deep expertise and strong track record in the entertainment and media industry will be terrific additions to our board of directors,” AT&T chairman and CEO, Randall Stephenson said in a statement, according to Deadline . “Her unique perspective as a media industry leader and operations executive, and her lifetime commitment to community service give her valuable insights I look forward to having on our board.” Serving on boards is nothing new to Lee. She has been on boards at Marriott International Inc. and Twitter. She currently serves on the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre’s board. Her appointment comes at a time where there is a major need for racial diversity on boards. According to Reuters , between the years of 2016 and 2018, African Americans only accounted for 5 percent of new board directors.

Amber Johnson Becomes First Black Woman To Earn A Ph.D. In Computer Science From Purdue

Posted on August 4, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

B lack scholars across the country are displaying excellence and making history in the process. According to WLFI , Amber Johnson recently became the first Black woman to earn a doctorate in computer science at Purdue University. Amber Johnson, a two time HBCU alumna just became the first African-American woman to earn a PhD in Computer Science from Purdue University. #HBCU4Life #AKAXO #AKA1908 #LemoyneOwenCollege #LOCMagicians #JacksonStateUniversity #TheeILove https://t.co/QDPFzl2iuh — Xi Omega AKA (@akaxo) August 3, 2019 Johnson’s passion for technology developed at an early age. She received her first computer before she turned 10 and enjoyed fixing tech gadgets. She took her love for tech into adulthood and earned an undergraduate degree in computer science from LeMoyne-Owen College and her master’s degree from Jackson State. While pursuing her Ph.D. in computer science at Purdue she was mentored by Dr. Raquel Hill  who was the first Black woman to earn a computer science Ph.D. from Harvard 17 years ago. Dr. Hill hooded Johnson during her graduation ceremony. For Johnson, representation in STEM is important. She is using her journey as an avenue to inspire others; similar to how Dr. Hill inspired her to break barriers in computer science. “I don’t look the stereotypical computer scientist,” she told The Exponent in a statement. “You don’t find many black women in this academic space. This is what computer science can look like.” Outside of her studies, Johnson has been dedicated to paying it forward and empowering the next generation of tech leaders. She volunteers with Black Girls Rock Tech and Girls Who Code. As far as her next chapter, Johnson will serve as a software engineer at Northrup Grumman; a company focused on defense and aerospace technology. Dr. Hill is beyond proud of Johnson’s accomplishment. “It’s not just for us, it is for others,” she said in a statement. “It’s for others to actually see us and understand what they are able also to accomplish.” SEE ALSO: #BlackGirlMagic: Graduate Receives Master’s Degree, Law Degree In Same Week Dr. Patrice A.

Posted on August 4, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Woman Used Obituaries To Rob People That Were Attending Funerals According to the New York Post , a Bronx woman is being accused of preying on the grieving families by allegedly looking up the obituaries of their loved ones online and then burglarizing the homes of the family members while they were attending the funeral services. Latonia Shelecia Stewart, 26, was slapped with multiple charges connected to six different break-ins that were reported between fall 2017 and spring 2018. Prosecutors claim she targeted people who were attending their spouse’s wake or funeral services. She would allegedly look up the obituaries of the person who died and then track down where their loved ones lived  and assumed they wouldn’t be home during the funeral and steal jewelry and other personal items from the residences. Stewart was attempting to break into the home of a dead person on May 1, 2018, when cops caught her in the act. She allegedly had their obituary on her cellphone and her baby in the back seat. She is facing 22 counts of burglary, grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, petit larceny, criminal mischief, possession of burglar’s tools and three motor vehicle violations.

Ryan Edwards: High AF in New Family Photos?

Posted on August 4, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

OK, so Ryan Edwards … Look, there's just always so much to discuss when it comes to this guy, you know? There's the drug addiction, all the arrests, his troubled relationship with ex Maci Bookout and her family, his weird relationship with his own family, all the ins and outs of his marriage with Mackenzie Standifer … Yeah, it's a lot. But today, we're just going to try to focus on a couple of those categories, namely his relationship with his family and the drug stuff. Because there are several new photos of Ryan going around, and lots of people see them as proof that he's using again. 1. Oh, Ryan … Ryan has been through a lot this year, right? And there’s still a good bit left to go. 2. Another Arrest Remember, he spent the first part of it in jail after being arrested in January for skipping out on a bar tab. 3. Seriously, a Bar Tab? And yeah, the bar tab itself might not have been a huge issue — Mackenzie did say that she paid it, and it wasn’t a ton of money or anything either. 4. Do Better, Ryan The issue was that he was on probation already for drug charges. He spent those few months in jail for violating his probation. 5. Oh, Also This And those few months must have felt like an extra long time for Mackenzie, who had been alone for a few months just before that while he was gone to rehab. 6. To Be Fair … But we have to remember that Ryan is a heroin addict, and while it may be tough for him to be away from his family for long stretches in rehab and/or jail, at least that means he’s not away from them forever in a coffin.

Mo Money: Draymond Green Reportedly Inks A $100 Million Extension With Warriors

Posted on August 4, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Macguyver/WENN.com / WENN Draymond Green Reportedly Signs A 4-Year Deal With Golden State It looks like Golden State is focused on keeping their core players together. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski,  Draymond Green  and the Warriors have agreed to a four-year, $100 million maximum contract extension. With free agency looming next summer, three-time All-Star Draymond Green has agreed to a four-year, $100M maximum contract extension with Golden State, agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports tells ESPN. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) August 3, 2019 Prior to the big news, Green was set to hit the free agency market next summer–but if that were to happen, he would be highly sought after. The three-time All-Star is considered to be the anchor that kept the Warriors steady during their five-year finals run. So, to prevent losing such a pivotal piece of their franchise, the Warriors decided to extend Draymond the biggest offer that they could. Just last month, the Warriors and Klay Thompson agreed to a five-year, $190 million contract during this summer’s free agency. Even though Green received the most money he could at this point in his career, if he had waited until free agency, he would’ve been able to seek out a bigger contract from the Warriors or another franchise. The choice he made–to not even consider another option–proves that star players like Steph Curry, Klay, and Draymond are looking to continue building something special as a unit. Congrats to Draymond on the big bag!
