Tequila Avion Jeezy’s Sells Stake In Tequila Avion Welp… Just when we thought there was no business like snow business, the snowman himself Jeezy has made a pretty penny in the spirits business . He and his partner in Tequila Avion, Ken Austin, have sold the remaining stake in the company to Multi-Billion dollar global spirits brand Pernod Ricard… They just announced this morning … Jeezy will remain highly involved and incentivized through an earn out mechanism at least until 2020 to help fuel its next wave of growth. “When I first became involved with Tequila Avión in 2013, I knew it had enormous potential on a global scale,” said Jeezy. “This next step with Pernod Ricard USA and continued partnership with Founder and Chairman, Ken Austin, will allow us to continue to grow the brand on the worldwide stage.” Jeezy joined the brand in 2013 as a Multicultural Advisor and has become an integral part of the Tequila Avión brand. Since partnering, Tequila Avión’s explosion across the ultra-premium spirits industry has coincided with Jeezy’s continued evolution as an artist, cementing his status as a hip hop legend. Most recently, Jeezy released his new album PRESSURE, his eighth Top 10 debut on the Billboard 200. Starting in February, he will kick off the 6-week “Cold Summer” tour across the US. Tickets are available now at http://www.JeezyOfficial.com Over the course of his legendary career, Jeezy has sold more than 5 million albums worldwide and has had multiple chart-topping hits. 2015 marked the 10th anniversary of Jeezy’s seminal debut solo album, the RIAA platinum Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101, which pioneered the trap music genre. Recent business ventures for JEEZY include his new fitness water Defiance Fuel, and his partnership in the Atlanta location of American Cut Steakhouse, and his ongoing partnership with Tequila Avion “Avión has become a leading aspirational lifestyle brand in the fast-growing ultra-premium tequila category. This acquisition is important for Pernod Ricard USA as we focus on premiumization and building brands that consumers are passionate about,” said Paul Duffy, Chief Executive Officer of Pernod Ricard USA. “We look forward to continuing to develop and grow this exciting brand.” “This clearly displays Pernod Ricard’s commitment to this high-potential brand which was voted World’s Best Tasting Tequila at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition,” said Ken Austin, Founder and Chairman of Tequila Avión. “The Pernod Ricard people, distributors and brokers have been and will continue to be key drivers in taking Avión to the next level.” Congratulations Jeezy!

Source: VALERIE MACON / Getty Chrissy Teigen is not only one of Twitter’s funniest souls, but also constantly speaks her mind and stands up for what she believes in. On Tuesday morning, Teigen offered her support to former Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney in a huge way: The model, host, and author said that she would be “absolutely honored” to pay a $100,000 fine that the gymnast might face for violating a nondisclosure agreement with USA Gymnastics, which would come into play if she choses to speak at the sentencing for disgraced team doctor Larry Nassar . The entire principle of this should be fought – an NDA to stay quiet about this serial monster with over 140 accusers, but I would be absolutely honored to pay this fine for you, McKayla. pic.twitter.com/lsBEgEqZpD — christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) January 16, 2018 Maroney revealed in October of 2017 that she had been sexually abused by Nassar from age 13 until she left gymnastics at age 20. Back in 2016, McKayla received a $1.25 million settlement from USA Gymnastics following the organization learned of the doctor’s actions. That settlement included an NDA with a $100,000 penalty if she ever spoke about the abuse, which is what Teigen is offering to help with. Maroney is suing USA Gymnastics, the United States Olympic Committee and Michigan State University for allegedly forcing her “to agree to a nondisparagement clause and confidentiality provision.” There are 98 victims and family members currently scheduled to make statements at Nassar’s sentencing, which starting on Tuesday. Nassar has been accused of sexual abuse by 140 women, including former Olympians Aly Raisman , Simone Biles and Gabby Douglas . Big shoutout to Chrissy Teigen for the amazing gesture.

I watched the Obama / Letterman interview because I don’t own a TV, and I don’t leave the house thanks to winter, and years ago, I used to watch letterman all the time, it was on TV, and I felt he ultimately didn’t give a fuck about the celebs he was interviewing, which I apprecaited…but that could just be selective memory, since I don’t remember much… Obviously, the Obama interview wasn’t all that exciting, but it was a nice reminder, as a Canadian, that the USA was pretty progressive for a while, they had a president with some real fucking swag…just cool and put together….well spoken and charismatic…and it was nice to see, or be reminded of, after dealing with all the media attention your politics get…. It was also inspiring because you aren’t all a bunch of shit head closed minded racists, a good thing, with clips of the 1950s Selma bridge walk that was just insane…because racism, especially from your president, is fucking crazy….it’s upsetting…it’s disgusting… On Martin Luther King day and beyond…So what better way to celebrate progress, the future, or what the Obamas represent, than his daughter in a bikini.. I don’t think she’s 18, not the pot smoking college aged one, so don’t look too closely….All these girls of all ages wearing bikinis….like they are 18…even when they aren’t….because bikinis are racy and inappropriate…almost porno when looked at by most perverts…especially white bikinis…the internet is a bad place for bad people…. But she is a political hero, your FIRST child, a year after they are out of your life, apparently…doing just FINE….celebrating FREEDOM…the right way. The real question is – where are the parents, I want some Michelle Obama up in a bikini right next to her, cuz she’s FINE.

With all the talk surrounding Meghan Markle and the family into which she’s about to become a member, a certain someone would like to remind folks about Meghan Markle’s actual family. And that certain someone is her half-sister, Samantha Grant. Grant has become somewhat of a celebrity herself ever since Markle entered the mainstream conversation early last year. She has been granting interviews and trying to get her name out there on a frequent basis for several months now. In the latest case of Grant attempting to capitalize off her sibling’s fame, Grant sat down and spoke to Fox News about various rumors surrounding the soon-to-be Mrs. Prince Harry. “Don’t believe anything you read in tabloids,” Grant says. “Those stories are written to create controversy and sell magazines.” In this initial case, the topic at hand was chatter that Markle would be walked down the aisle by her mother, NOT her father, because she isn’t especially close to her dad. (The former actress’ parents have been divorced for years.) “My father, when we see these tabloids, and it’s every day, we just roll our eyes,” Grant explains, adding: “There are so many rumors, like Meghan doesn’t get along with her dad or he’s reclusive. He’s not. “They talk regularly… Her relationship growing up with him was great. It’s still great now.” Thomas Markle lives a quiet life in Mexico and is on record as saying he would love to walk Markle down the aisle on her wedding day, which is scheduled for May 19. “My father is very close to Meg,” continued Grant, elaborating: “All of that perception created by the press is a horrible, despicable lie… It’s really unfortunate and it has caused the family a lot of pain… It’s atrocious. “And if I’ve had billions of dollars, there are about 50 publications I would go after and sue… But I’m in a wheelchair. I don’t have time or energy to be doing all of that.” Grant has been offered a TLC special and has claimed in the past that she plans to write a tell-all about Markle. Many quickly assumed this memoir (titled “The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister”) would be a hatchet job, but Grant now insists she’s been misunderstood. And so has the relationship between her and Markle, who did not grow up in the same house because they are 17 years apart in age. “My relationship with my sister for a while was really hurt because of the perceptions out there,” says Grant. “And I have to say, my book’s not what all of these people are saying it is… Just because it has the word ‘pushy’ doesn’t mean it’s a slamming tell-all… I was making fun of the tabloids… “My goal is really to show how lovely and amazing she is. I look forward to the both of us hopefully laughing over this.” What about the rumor that Grant and Markle have not spoken in a decade? “We spoke in 2014,” Samantha swears. “That doesn’t make us estranged by a decade… When you got someone in the family who is famous, just because they jet-set and have a busy, distracting life, it doesn’t mean anyone in the family is estranged… “Our families have always been very much in touch. And certainly growing up, we were very close.” Still… they haven’t talked in four years?!? Grant simply chalks this up to Markle being “busy” with her career, which took off thanks to her role on the USA Network hit Suits. In conclusion, Grant thinks she’ll be invited to Markle and Harry’s wedding . “I would be honored and to the best of my knowledge, I’m going [to the wedding],” she says. “That’s all I will say… I [still] see her as my little Meggie. She’s a woman now, but I still see her as my baby sister.” We think Samantha may be in for a major disappointment. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry: Official Engagement Photos!
OJ Simpson To Sue Cosmopolitan For A Whopping $100 Million Back in November, a reportedly belligerent OJ Simpson was thrown out of and banned from the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. Now, USA Today has reported that OJ’s lawyer Malcolm LaVergne has vowed to file a $100 million lawsuit against the famous hotel and casino, unless it publicly admits that Simpson did nothing to justify his being kicked out and banned from the establishment. KVVU reports that Simpson’s lawyer alleges the casino’s staff attempted to justify the ban in the media by saying Simpson “was drunk, became disruptive at the Clique bar, was angry at hotel staff and glasses were broken at the bar.” But according to LaVergne, drug and alcohol tests that Simpson was forced to take by a parole officer following the incident came back negative. He further claims that police found OJ to not have been acting as the hotel staff alleged after reviewing surveillance footage, but that the ban has still stood. “Mr. Simpson has had 100% perfect behavior since he’s been on parole,” says LaVergne, who adds that Simpson was simply having dinner with a friend and was completely surprised and confused by the Cosmopolitan’s harsh treatment of him. LaVergne alleges there was “malice and racial prejudice” at play as Simpson was “singled out … amongst his non-African American friends.” SMH….The Juice never rests.
Izabel Goulart is a Victoria’s Secret model once a year, for whatever reason, she was taken off the main roster and ran back to brazil to live out her fit as fuck model life, thanks to garnering celebrity from the billion dollar evil fucking brand…but she still walks their fashion show infomercial to I guess stay relevant, or maybe because that’s what her contract stipulates – allowing her to remain exclusive to them without actually working since she’ likely got enough in the bank, she was a huge deal for a while a while ago..
