Few are larger than the following for NBA 2K, the longest run basketball video game that’s about to release it’s 20th version this fall. One of the standouts on 2K has always been it’s soundtrack. Hip hop fans big and small all seem to leave their mark, and this upcoming version doesn’t deviate from that trend. So far, Drake, J. Cole and the late Nipsey Hussle have all been announced as featured artists. Here is a complete list and link to all of the songs.
Source: Wachira Khurimon / EyeEm / Getty Louisiana Cop Posts Facebook Comment About AOC Getting Shot Amerikkka has always been racist as hell, but we had reached a point where racist and bigots knew it was socially unacceptable to live their truth out loud. However, in Trump’s Amerikkka, these soup cookies have been emboldened to let their hate flag fly. According to NOLA , a Gretna police officer in Louisiana, Charlie Rispoli, posted a Facebook comment calling AOC a “vile idiot” who “needs a round, and I don’t mean the kind she used to serve.” A hate crime-y play on words that references the Congresswoman’s bartending past and a bullet. Here’s what police chief Charlie Lawson had to say about his mans: “I will tell you this: This will not go unchecked,” Lawson said. “I’m not going to take this lightly and this will be dealt with on our end. It’s not something we want someone that’s affiliated with our department to make these types of statements. That’s not going to happen.” Lawson said he does not think the comment constitutes an actual threat, but it appears to violate the department’s social media policy, which he said all officers have read and signed. “Whether you agree or disagree with the message of these elected officials and how frustrated you may or may not get, this certainly is not the type of thing that a public servant should be posting,” he said. Source: Spencer Platt / Getty Here’s why this matters so much and why Trump’s racist rhetoric is so dangerous to the women of color that he’s targeted. Rispoli was replying to a “satire” FAKE NEWS STORY that quoted AOC saying “We pay soldiers too much”. The Snopes website marked this story “false” but it didn’t stop someone simple like officer Rispoli from believing it and taking action. See how this can go left? Please vote.

Tori Roloff has good taste in women. We’re not trying to be crass or inappropriate or anything of that nature here. The Little People, Big World star simply jumped on Instagram late last week and sort of revealed the celebrity on whom she has a total crush. And we could not agree with Tori’s take any more. Because, seriously, who out there does NOT think Kristen Bell is totally and completely amazing?!? The actress has been in the news often of late because she is starring in the Hulu revival of Veronica Mars. (She also helps anchor the funniest show on network television, NBC’s The Good Place.) But Tori didn’t gush publicly over Bell due to her portrayal of Mars or the way she banters with Ted Danson on The Good Place. Instead, Roloff gave Bell all the props for simply being a terrific mother (which, let’s face it, is the most important role anyone can ever play). As a caption to a video of her kids being asked how old they she is, Bell wrote the following on social media a couple days ago: “My kids are kind. I don’t care if they can’t do math. (For my #armcherries: #fastmath is overrated.)” Replied Tori to this take: “I love following you. I love how you love others and your family and you deal with life with humor. Thank you for being such a light in this world.” Allow us to chime in here real quickly with an AMEN . We’ve long admired Bell for being so candid about her life, her relationship and motherhood in general. She also once wrote this pretty awesome Donald Trump-relate Tweet . And if you’ve never seen the following video of Bell bawling her eyes out over meeting a sloth, well, stop everything you are doing right now and watch. Just trust us… Kristen Bell LOVES Sloths! Tori, who recently surprassed a million Instagram followers , has become known and widely respected for the way in which she interacts with other stars. She always comes across as especially sympathetic and relatable. In a recent/unfortunate instance, for example, Tori acknowledgde that Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth had suffered a miscarriage after five months of pregnancy, writing to her fellow reality stars: “Austin and Joy my heart just absolutely breaks for you two. I am so sorry. You are in my prayers. How blessed she is that she gets to be with Jesus and she gets to call you two mom and dad.” So sad. But so sweet of Roloff, who has also been sharing a number of baby bump photos online. “One. Million. Followers,” Roloff wrote as a message last month after reaching the aforementioned number, adding at the time: “What in the world? You guys. This is honestly such an honor. It has been such a fun ride sharing just a little part of my life with all of you. The love and support I have felt from you guys on my journey has been overwhelming and wonderful.” She concluded: My goal here is to continue to make people laugh and show everyone I’m just a normal girl who got thrown into extraordinary circumstances and you better believe I’m not going to waste a damn moment. I feel like social media can sometimes be a scary place but I’ve tried to keep mine uplifting and fun and I hope you guys feel that. Thanks for joining me on this ride and being a part of my story. Even though- lets be real- y’all are here for Jackson. This is why we love Tori Roloff. View Slideshow: Tori and Zach Roloff: Secrets of the Little People, Big World Stars’ Private Lives
What happens when three women decide to unexpectedly pop up on their sons after feeling neglected on Mother’s Day?

Source: Elijah Nouvelage/Getty Images Erica Thomas Confronts Man Who Verbally Assaulted Her In Grocery Store A black Georgia lawmaker who went viral after she tearfully recalled a racist incident at a local grocery store had a face off with the man who hurled insults her way. State rep. Erica Thomas who represents District 39, recorded an emotional Facebook Live video detailing an incident at a GA Publix where a white man called her “lazy” and a “son a b***” in front of her child and told her to “go back where she came from.” (Sound familiar? ) “This white man comes up to me and says, ‘You lazy son of [expletive]. You need to go back where you came from,’” said Thomas who noted that he was angry because she was in the Express lane at the grocery store but had 15 items in her cart. “Sir, you don’t even know me. I’m not lazy. I’m nine months pregnant.” We have a serious problem in this Country when @itsericathomas is subjected to racism in a Cobb County @Publix in front of her daughter. #gapol . #IStandwithErica thank you @RenittaShannon for alerting me and the @NAACPGA . #NoPlaceforHate . pic.twitter.com/hN5HDS4aG9 — Gerald A. Griggs (@AttorneyGriggs) July 20, 2019 Today I was verbally assaulted in the grocery store by a white man who told me I was a lazy SOB and to go back to where I came from bc I had to many items in the express lane. My husband wasn’t there to defend me because he is on Active Duty serving the country I came from USA! — Erica Thomas (@itsericathomas) July 20, 2019 Disgusting. That rancid racist whose been getting dragged to aisle 3 and dubbed “Publix Paul” has since come forward and identified himself as Eric Sparkes. In an email to WSBTV , Sparkes said Thomas was embellishing the incident for her political career and claimed that he’s previously encountered racism because of his Cuban heritage. “I NEVER ONCE TOLD HER TO BACK TO WHATEVER,” wrote Sparkes. “I am Cuban and have felt prejudice racism as a child. She assumes because I am white it’s about race. This woman is her own worst enemy…” Here is the email the customer accused of verbally harassing Representative Erica Thomas sent me after our report at 12. Our team met up with him that afternoon in what ended up being a heated confrontation between him and Thomas. That part of the story is ahead starting at 9. pic.twitter.com/Vre8jFH6U6 — Lauren Pozen WSB (@LaurenPozenWSB) July 21, 2019 Suuuure thing, sir. Later while Erica was interviewing with the local news about the situation, Sparkes showed up and an explosive showdown happened. Sparkes admitted that he called the pregnant woman a “SOB” but said she “lied’ about the “go back comment.” WSBTV was on hand for the incident: “I’m a liar about what?” Thomas asked Sparkes. “Everything that happened,” Sparkes said. “Me telling you to ‘Go back where you came from. Did I say that? Is it on video?” “Are you serious? What did you say to me then,” Thomas asked. “I called you a lazy (expletive),” Sparkes said to Thomas. “That’s the worst thing I said.” “Yeah, that makes you look better to say that,” Thomas said. So Eric Sparkes admits to approaching me and verbally assulting me in front of my 9 year and but not the rest of his statements. You sounds like a coward to me and that’s fine you will think twice before you berate any one again!You keep lying we have witnesses that will testify! pic.twitter.com/HRWTBZ89SC — Erica Thomas (@itsericathomas) July 21, 2019 Despite cries of a “hate hoax” on social media, Erica assured WSBTV that some sort of “go back” language was used and claims she has witnesses to back her up. “I don’t want to say he said, ‘Go back to your country,’ or ‘Go back to where you came from,’” Thomas said. “But he was making those types of references is what I remember.” […] “Of course you would deny those things. But the people in the store, you know we have witnesses that are willing to be a witness in court.” We stand with Erica, it’s not hard to believe that an enraged Incel would mirror Cretin In Chief’s “go back” statements. Looks like Publix is gonna need a clean up on aisle 3, soon.
Source: Steve Granitz / Getty Avengers: Endgame Is The Highest Grossing Movie Ever After 9 years of holding the title as the world’s highest grossing film ever, James Cameron’s Avatar has been dethroned by Avengers: Endgame . As of Saturday, July 20, the fourth installment in the Avengers franchise had raked in $2.7892 billion at the global box office, which is just about $500,000 shy of Avatar ‘s $2.7897 billion record. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced the big news during San Diego Comic-Con yesterday, confirming that Endgame would close the $500K gap by Sunday. “Thanks to you, Avengers: Endgame is the biggest film of all-time,” he announced during Marvel’s highly-anticipated Hall H panel. Since the film’s initial release back in April, Endgame has broken multiple records, including the fastest film to hit $100 million at the box office, the highest-grossing opening day in history, and the first film to earn $1 billion in an opening weekend. But in order to assure their status as the number one film of all time, the Avengers movie received a boost when it was re-released in theaters with a little extra footage back in June–which is what eventually set Endgame over the top. The directors of the film, Joe and Anthony Russo, issued a thank you to fans on Twitter after the news broke yesterday. To the greatest fans in the universe, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you… https://t.co/MRKEKaKvVW — Russo Brothers (@Russo_Brothers) July 21, 2019 Endgame will probably hold this title pretty securely until 2021, when James Cameron is set to release his follow-up to Avatar . Until then: congrats to the whole cast and crew on the major win!
