R.I.P.: 21-Year-Old Fatally Shot In His Head While Filming Music Video, 5 More Injured

Source: AlexSava / Getty 1 Dead, 5 Injured On Set Of Music Video In Philadelphia A 21-year-old man was reportedly shot dead, and five others injured, while filming a music video in Southwest Philly last night. According to reports, no arrests have been made and none of the victims has been identified at this time. From 6ABC : Police said one person is dead and five others are wounded after shots rang out moments before a rap video production was about to get underway on Sunday night in Southwest Philadelphia. It happened around 8 p.m. along the 2600 block of Carroll Street. Officers arrived at the scene to find six shooting victims. Police confirm a 21-year-old man was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. Another 23-year-old man was also found with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition. “They were about to shoot a rap video when someone, a couple of people, came and shot one or more or persons,” said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross. “These all very young men. Sadly this is what we see over and over again, but you know hopefully we’ll get someone to step forward because these are the type of incidents where we do worry about retaliation.” Police said the group of about 10 men, all in their early 20s, were about to start filming when someone got out of a black car and began firing approximately 10 shots. Four other victims (two of which are also in critical condition) were reportedly shot in the finger, right leg and chest, leg, and neck and back. We are keeping these young men in our prayers.

So….Twenty88 Part 2, Or Nah? Big Sean Publicly Gushes Over His “Single Again” Singing Partner Jhené Aiko

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN Big Sean Sparks Reconciliation Rumors With Tweet To Jhené Aiko Big Sean ….what’s good. Are you really “Single Again,” or nah?! Earlier this week, Sean dropped his first song in what seems like forever. Seemingly confirming his widely-rumored about break-up with Jhené Aiko , the track was titled, “Single Again.” Just to make things more confusing, his ex-boo thang was featured on the single with him. Who hits up their ex to be on a song about how they’re back on the prowl? While their little duet had people raising some eyebrows, the title of the song was enough confirmation that their seemingly turbulent relationship was over for good. But now, Big Sean is adding more fuel to the fire that there might still be some serious feelings there. Jhené tweeted out a link to “Single Again” after it was released earlier this weekend. The next night, Big Sean decided to write a public thank you to Aiko for getting on the song. “I appreciate you supporting me on this one and I want to just say I love you unconditionally,” the rapper wrote. “People gon say whatever but it is what it is. I could have txt u this I know but I want people to know I appreciate you.” . @JheneAiko I appreciate you supporting me on this one and I want to just say I love you unconditionally. You amazing, talented, every song we do special to me! People gon say whatever but it is what it is. I could have txt u this I know but I want people to know I appreciate you — Sean Don (@BigSean) July 29, 2019 Ahhh, public displays of affection. Much like the one Jhené sent Sean’s way in his comment section a couple months ago. Either they’re the most mature people on the planet, or there’s still some real feelings there. Whether or not these two are trying to work things out or they’re just staying good friends, we’ll probably never know. But either way, they’ve got people talking. And beside fans wanting them to just make up and get back together, we’re greedy, and we want some more music, too. CAN YALL JUST BE TOGETHER — fuck bella.

# BlackGirlMagic was in full effect at the FINA World Championship in South Korea. According to Team USA , Olympic swimmer Simone Manuel won the 100-meter freestyle competition for the second consecutive year and made history in the process by setting a new U.S. record. Simone Manuel wins historic world title as Dressel breaks Phelps' 100m butterfly mark https://t.co/7kCcmauNa9 — Guardian US (@GuardianUS) July 26, 2019 Manuel—who hails from Houston, Texas—made it to the finish line in 52.04 seconds. She edged out Swedish swimmer Sarah Sjostrom and Australia’s Cate Campbell . She is the second woman to win two consecutive world titles. The first woman to do so was swimmer Kornelia Ender 44 years ago. This isn’t the first time that Manuel has made history. In 2016 she became the first Black woman to win an individual Olympic gold medal in swimming. Her impact goes far beyond the water. Manuel is big on philanthropy and is on a mission to diversify swimming. “The gold medal wasn’t just for me; it was for people that came before me and inspired me to stay in the sport,” she told the New York Times in an interview. “For people who believe that they can’t do it, I hope I’m an inspiration to others to get out there and try swimming. You might be pretty good at it.” Earlier this year, she visited LeBron James ’ I Promise School in Akron, Ohio to talk with students about water safety and encourage them to learn how to swim. In partnership with the Akron Area YMCA, she will provide all of the students with swimming lessons this summer. She is also spreading awareness about the high drowning rate within the Black community and is working hard to reverse the alarming trend. “The most important thing is saving lives more than winning gold medals. Representation is important,” she said .

A couple from Philadelphia is ensuring that cancer patients and their loved ones have access to quality healthcare and support. According to Because of Them We Can , Marjani and Al Harris created the only Black-owned cancer center in the country. A Philly couple made history by opening the first Black-owned cancer center in the US https://t.co/vKNgYUoEyE pic.twitter.com/kv5FpuN1kZ — Blavity News (@Blavity) July 26, 2019 For Marjani and Al , the battle against cancer hits home. Ten years ago, they had three family members who were fighting different types of the disease at the same time. While supporting their loved ones they noticed there was a lack of spaces that merged treatments with wellness and decided to open The Cancer Who Cares Center. “We noticed that there was no center where people with cancer could go to decompress, and let their emotions out, but also be treated with a sense of normalcy,” Al told the news outlet. “All of our programs are free because we want to support the person and their family without them having to worry about paying for anything.” The center has a variety of programs to provide emotional and mental care for patients, including spa days, forums and yoga classes. The couple hopes that their journey will inspire other individuals in the Black community to break barriers in whatever industry they choose to pursue. “We feel proud that we can show our children and the rest of our culture that you can always be the first at something even when you feel like you are in last place,” Al stated. There are several Black entrepreneurs who are creating spaces where people of color can receive proper care and support. Earlier this year a group of African American medical professionals joined forces to open up Chicago’s only Black-owned urgent care facility . In 2018, Dr. Tamara Moise and Wadson Fils opened the doors to Big Apple Urgent Care, Brooklyn’s first Black-owned urgent care center.

Tori Roloff Overcomes Anxiety, Proudly Shows Off Baby Bump

Stop us if you’ve heard this before, but… … we positively adore Tori Roloff. As we’ve noted on numerous occasions in the past, celebrities really do not get more genuine and humble than this long-time cast member on Little People, Big World. Or more relable, we can now add, following a couple recent Instagram posts by Tori. Roloff and her husband Zach, you see, are expecting their second child. Already parents to a cutie patootie named Jackson, the reality stars announced this summer that a sibling is on the way, confirming the blessed news as follows: “We are so excited to announce that Jackson is going to be a big brother! We can not wait to meet our sweet baby girl!” We’ve since learned that the baby is due around Thanksgiving. However, just a few weeks ago telling the public about this incredible news, Tori confessed to feeling quite self-conscious these days. “I’ve gotten bigger a lot faster than I did with Jackson and I’ve become a lot more insecure,” she admitted, sounding just like millions of other pregnant women and then adding: “Hearing people ask me if I’m sure it’s not twins definitely does not help (for all our sakes-don’t ever ask a woman this question. Like ever).” She continued at the  time: “It’s been hard to really enjoy this pregnancy because I’ve let my own body image issues get in the way.” We’re sharing these words again now to remind readers of the mindset Tori was in for awhile — and yet this hasn’t stopped her from recently sharing the two new baby bump photos above. “Cruising around the Willamette with my favorite person was a perfect way to spend our anniversary! Love you so much babe uh!” wrote Roloff as a captiont to the snapshots. Previously, Tori made every piece of our hears shatter into a million pieces via the precious photos above and below of her stomach and of little Jackson. We just applaud her so loudly for overcoming her self-esteem concern and still baring her stomach for all to see. But that’s Tori for you! Consider the inspiring conclusion to her aforecited Instagram message… Us as women are so badass. Like we can grow babies. And I know I need to give this up to God right and be thankful for this gift-and I’m trying trust me. But for all those women out there-pregnant or not- you need to hear this just like I do. You’re beautiful, you’re strong, and dang it love yourself no matter what. I know someone besides just me needs to hear that today. So excuse me while I go try my best to live out these words and continue growing a freaking human being. Tori and Zach have been leading Little People, Big World cast members from the very first. And they’ll continue to be on the just-confirmed new season ! Hooray! View Slideshow: Tori and Zach Roloff: Secrets of the Little People, Big World Stars’ Private Lives

Joy-Anna Duggar on Her Miscarriage: I Miss My Baby Girl So Much!

If you keep up with the Duggars, then you know that earlier this month, the family announced a devastating loss. Joy-Anna, who was 20 weeks pregnant with her second child with husband Austin Forsyth, had lost her baby. As Joy and Austin explained in an Instagram post, they had gone in for an ultrasound to find out the baby’s gender — she was pregnant with a little girl. But during the scan, it was discovered that the baby’s heart was no longer beating . In their post, they said that they’d named the baby Annabell Elise — Annabell meaning “God has favored me” and Elise meaning “God satisfies.” They also told their followers that although the loss was so huge, “God has given us unexplainable peace and comfort during this very difficult time” because “we know that we can trust the Lord.” “We don’t grieve as those who have no hope because we trust that we will see this little one again.” “What a precious thing to know that when our daughter opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the face of Jesus,” they added. So sad, right? Things got even sadder a few days later when Joy and Austin shared photos they took with their late daughter . In the pictures they posted to Instagram, you couldn’t see much of the baby besides the top of her tiny, tiny head, but they were just heartbreaking to see. They were controversial, too — lots of people thought they shouldn’t have shared something so personal . After that, they went back to posting photos of their son, Gideon , and their family adventures, but in their most recent post, Joy decided to touch on their loss once again. And again, it’s just really, really tough to read. For the image, she shared a bible verse that read “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” She wrote the same verse in the caption, along with another that says “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” But in additional to the verses, she also wrote a little message of their own. “Our hearts are healing,” Joy began. “Yes, those days come that I miss my little girl so much. Wishing I could have met her, seen Austin love on her and Gideon play with her.” “Yet,” she wrote, “God has given us so much comfort.” “People say that I am strong, but I am not.” “It is Jesus’ strength that has carried me through,” she insisted. “He’s given me a peace that passes all understanding and he has given me His JOY.” It’s so lovely that she’s able to find such comfort throughout this whole tragedy — and whether you love or hate the Duggars, this is clearly a terrible thing for someone to go through. We hope that she continues to heal from this, because again … it’s all just way, way too sad. View Slideshow: 34 Stars Who Have Suffered a Miscarriage
