Source: BOSSIP / NABJ19 Recap: Bossip Staff Takes On #NABJ19 We’re happy to report that BOSSIP was especially present for NABJ this past week , hosting our own workshop on comprising the viral headline! The convention for The National Association of Black Journalists or NABJ kicks off every year for journalists, students, and media-related professionals. There, folks learn firsthand key strategies in media, socialize professionally, and seek career opportunities. This year it took place in sunny & humid Miami, Florida. Source: @AieshaArab / IG The workshop was hosted by BOSSIP’s deputy editor Danielle Canada who emceed a panel of our viral headline experts on staff, including senior editor Jennifer H. Cunningham, Aiesha Letman (myself), Jason Lee and, Alex Ford. Bruce Wright, managing editor of our fellow Interactive One site News One was also there to assist. In the workshop, our writers were asked the FAQs behind the manufacturing of a standout headline, regardless of the voice of the publication. Attendees learned about the importance of headline writing as it pertains to ideation and creating viral moments. And…when is a headline too far? Jason Lee was there to assist with the latter. Of course, this question was directed at our site, specifically. So, how do we not “cross the line”? What is offensive or ‘racist’ to white folks? Jason says, ‘As far as (mayo), aioli and those sort of things…if white people are offended by certain things, then that’s fine but the dynamic is different. We are a Black site, we are Black people, normally we’re the oppressed people. So, if the worst you have to deal is being called a ‘mayo-packet’ behind somebody who did something racist, something stupid, then in my mind, you kinda have to chalk that.’ New One’s Bruce Wright had an important point to add, saying: ‘I don’t think we should only single out Black media for doing what the original media created and is still doing on now.’ Alex Ford probably in one short sentence gave the crux of what you need to create a viral moment. ‘We’re not just writing these headlines for you to just see them and laugh. If you read some of the posts, their actually well-written, comedically. Also, your use of language. Find that one word that represents what you’re trying to say. Word choice is important. ‘ BOSSIP is proud to be a completely unique voice at the intersection of Black culture, entertainment, and political-awareness. We would like to send a HUGE thank you to everyone who came to check us out at NABJ19. We hope to meet you again!
Amber Portwood has seen her share of ups and downs over the years. But these days, it's all downs for the troubled Teen Mom OG star. In July, Amber was arrested on domestic violence charges . Now, new episodes of the show are shedding light on just how bad things got between Portwood and her most recent ex, Andrew Glennon. It's not pretty, but Teen Mom drama rarely is. Take a look: 1. A Happier Time Amber and Andrew were never an ideal couple, but we’re just now learning how ugly their situation was in the final days of their relationship. 2. Opening Up In the past, Amber has been praised for her candor with regard to her struggles with mental illness. 3. Avoiding Accountability? But she’s also been accused of using her diagnosis to justify her most appalling behavior, a tendency the cameras seemed to have captured on Monday night’s episode. 4. Road Rage One scene showed Andrew driving Amber to an appointment with her psychiatrist. Sounds uneventful — but when Amber’s involved, there’s sure to be drama. 5. Sharing Her Truth “Because I struggle with bipolar and borderline personality disorder, I sometimes have mood swings and that can be tough on my relationship,” she said in a confessional segment at the start of the show. 6. Not Returning the Favor “Andrew has always been supportive of me, but I want him to better understand what I go through on a daily basis,” she added. View Slideshow
When the world first met the Mountain Dew-fueled aspiring pageant queen known as Honey Boo Boo, Alana Thompson and her family were a source of guilty pleasure comedy. All these years later, the Thompson/Shannon clan remains a reality TV fixture — but no one is laughing these days. Much of the problem is that Alana’s mother, June Shannon, is trapped in a potentially fatal downward spiral. June’s substance abuse issues have been well documented, and insiders say her continued drug use is tearing her family apart. Already, June has been the subject of a failed intervention, and her family believes she’ll never get clean until she purges one particular bad influence from her life. We’re talking, of course, about Shannon’s boyfriend Geno Doak . June’s troubles with the law and with addiction seemed to begin shortly after she started dating Doak. Alana moved out on her mother and took up residence in her sister’s home, reportedly out of fear of Geno. But it’s not as though Mama June’s daughters are abandoning her. According to a new report from TMZ, the girls recently reached out and issued June an ultimatum: Apparently, Alana agreed to move back home with her mother on two conditions — June would need to dump Geno and seek professional help for her addiction issues. Sadly, Shannon reportedly refused to take either step, and Alana will remain in the care of her 19-year-old sister Lauryn for the foreseeable future. Insiders say Alana’s sisters agree with her that it’s simply not safe for the 13-year-old to return home until June has fully cut ties with Geno. In addition to the fact that he’s rumored to be Mama June’s main drug supplier, Doak’s own erratic behavior has become a major cause for concern. It’s been less than two months since Doak crashed his car June’s garage before emerging from the vehicle naked. Doak claims he’s been unfairly portrayed in the media — but there’s really no way to spin something like that. Meanwhile, these tumultuous times are clearly taking a toll on Alana, who pretended to snort coke during an Instagram Live session, much to her sister’s chagrin. Here’s hoping June is able to get the help she needs and be the mother her kids deserve before it’s too late.

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Queen Of Hip Hop Soul Accused Of Owing Big Money In Back Taxes The Internal Revenue Service says Mary J. Blige is once again facing major tax troubles. The IRS accused the “No More Drama” singer of owing it big time for back federal taxes – to the tune of more than $1 million, BOSSIP has learned. Blige’s tax lien, filed late last month, accuses the newly single Blige of owing a total of $1,198,161. The feds said MJB failed to pay taxes on income from 2016 and 2017, according to the lien, which was obtained by BOSSIP. Despite being one of the biggest selling and best-loved hip hop soul artists of her generation, Blige has struggled with financial issues over the years. Blige still has outstanding federal tax liens totaling millions from when she was still married to her nex husband and former manager Kendu Isaacs. Blige’s new lien suggests that despite her split from Isaacs, she is still experiencing trouble handling her tax bills. We exclusively revealed that Blige narrowly escaped foreclosure on two New Jersey mansions, but is still on the hook for a suit accusing her of skipping out on about $60,000 in back rent on a luxe Southern California estate. Blige had not responded to the lien as of Aug. 12.

Source: MARTIN BUREAU / Getty Imagine a celebrity posting you on their social media page and it launches your career. Well, that’s the case for Ala’a Skyy. The 7-year-old model is now the newest ambassador for the natural haircare brand, The Mane Choice. The gorgeous model first caught our attention when Rihanna posted her on Instagram. Baring a striking resemblance to our favorite “Bad Gal,” the world quickly fell in love with her and the rest is history. The Mane Choice CEO and founder Courtney Adeleye couldn’t stop gushing over the young beauty in a statement. “Not only does she have an amazing attitude and work ethic at such a young age, she also loves her hair,” Adeleye shares. “She understands the benefits of using great products. It’s amazing!” View this post on Instagram Be prepared to receive exactly what you put out into the universe! Nothing happens by accident!

Simply adorable! “One day you are using your favorite products because you love them and the next day you are using your favorite products and become their newest ambassador at the same time,” the caption read. “Dreams really do come true, if you believe YOU deserve them!” She concluded the caption saying, “I can’t wait to share with you all a BIG surprise!” While The Mane Choice is the young model’s first brand representative contract, she has already caught the attention of a beauty industry icon, Tyra Banks . According to BET, the beauty was offered a potential gig by Banks to audition for her ModelLand amusement park. “I lost my mind,” Tyra said. “ Rihanna looks like Tookie, the lead girl in the ModelLand story. Rihanna, I know you not gonna play Tookie. She might, you never know. But for this, I don’t think I’m necessarily going to get Rihanna for the movie. But I was like, we’re also looking for little girl Tookie. So I was like, that little girl looks like little girl Tookie, because Tookie’s also kind of inspired by me and my story.” Tyra added, “So I just became obsessed with this girl. I was like, ‘Help me! Who is this girl? Like, I want to find this girl and hopefully, possibly she can try out because she’s got to act and do all that stuff, to play little Tookie.” View this post on Instagram So many people said I inspired them today…..that in itself was a dream come true!

Judging by the amount of love and support she received from fans and a growing Instagram following, her future in the beauty industry is looking very bright. The sky is definitely the limit for the star (pun intended). We can’t wait to see what this young queen has in store for us! Maybe a modeling contract with Wilhelmina or a Fenty Beauty campaign?

Well, another summer is almost at an end. It’s a bummer in many respects, but fall offers much to look forward to — the return of football, memes about how much pumpkin spice flavoring sucks, and of course, a new season of Vanderpump Rules . After emerging as a surprise hit on Bravo’s roster back in 2013 Vanderpump has consistently delivered the goods for seven solid seasons now. But there’s no denying that the series has reached the point where most reality shows begin to show their age. Four cast members will get married this season (turns out Tom and Katie’s first wedding wasn’t legal), and now that Stassi is engaged to Beau Clark, with the exception of Kristen Doute, the entire cast is paired off in serious relationships. (In case you missed it, Billie Lee has quit the show . Newcomers often have a hard time with this bunch.) That’s great for the cast, but contented homebodies aren’t known for delivering dramatic fireworks, which could spell trouble for the future of the show. Fortunately, the ladies and gents who pretend to work at SUR remain as petty as ever, and if the feuds among them are fake, then they all deserve acting Emmys. This time around, it’s Kristen Doute who’s been cast out of the Witches of WeHo. The cause of the beef is unclear, but multiple sources have confirmed that Kristen is no longer on speaking terms with Stassi Schroeder or Katie Maloney. Over the weekend, Doute held a launch party for her new t-shirt line, and while Katie’s husband, Tom Schwartz, was on hand, she and Stassi were conspicuously absent. Stassi’s mother, Dayna Schroeder, confirmed on Instagram that there’s some bad blood, calling the feud “quite sad.” “I didn’t really know all the particulars. So I was out of the loop for awhile,” Dayna Schroeder explained. “Don’t you worry, it’s like Lion King and the circle of life. ….each one of these girls will grow, change and come back to their original strong friendship bond that they’ve always had. Somethings just take time.” We’re gonna guess that that quote was delivered after more than a few Pump-tinis! Anyway, Stassi mentioned the feud in passing on her podcast this week, but did not go into detail: “We’re at the homestretch from filming, I have a few days left. My brain is mush,” Schroeder told Clark during her latest episode. “The drama is killing me. I can’t anymore. I can’t talk about this s–t anymore,” she continued. “I’m literally dead inside.” Suddenly, we can’t freakin’ wait for fall! View Slideshow: 37 Classic Vanderpump Rules Moments in GIFs
