Police are on the hunt for a man whose been seen wearing (woebegone) wigs to commit multiple robberies. WSBTV reports that DeKalb County police are searching for an unidentified man who has robbed several Waffle Houses, two drugstores and a bank while wearing the very crusty coiffure. They add that he most recently passed a note to a Tucker Waffle House waitress demanding cash. The frightened waitress ran away and the robber left empty handed. The lace fronted bandit has been linked to similar robbery attempts at other Waffle Houses, a CVS, a Walgreens, a Dollar General and a PNC bank, authorities said. Authorities are asking anyone who recognizes the man to contact DeKalb police at 770-724-7800.

Meghan McCain has opened way up about something extremely personal and extremely painful. The View panelist recently lost her baby due to a miscarriage. Via an op-ed in The New York Times this past Friday, the daughter of late Senator John McCain wrote very simply: “To the end of my days I will remember this child.” She continued in candid detail: “My miscarriage was a horrendous experience and I would not wish it upon anyone. I loved my baby, and I always will.” The talk show host, who some believe may leave The View in the very near future , said this pregnancy came as a joyous “surprise,” explaining that the baby girl she was expecting would have been her and husband Ben Domenech’s first child. However, she said she suffered a miscarriage the same day she shot a cover story for New York Times Magazine about the aforementioned morning program. “I look back at those pictures now, and I see a woman hiding her shock and sorrow,” she wrote of this shoot, adding: “I am posed for the camera, looking stern and strong, representing my fellow conservative women across the country. But inside, I am dying. Inside, my baby is dying.” Just so awful. We truly cannot imagine going through such an experience. McCain went on to say she isn’t looking for sympathy or a lot of special attention or anything. Instead, she went public with this terrible news because she wants to destigmatize the “distressingly common” occurrence. (Many studies say that one in four women have suffered a miscarriage.) “We deserve the opportunity to speak openly of them, to share what they were and to mourn,” McCain wrote in her piece. As for why it happened in this case? No one can ever say for sure; it can often just be chalked up to bad luck. However… “I blamed myself,” McCain sadly says. “Perhaps it was wrong of me to choose to be a professional woman, working in a high-pressure, high-visibility, high-stress field, still bearing the burden of the recent loss of my father and facing on top of that the arrows that come with public life.” “I blamed my age, I blamed my personality,” she continued. “I blamed everything and anything a person could think of, and what followed was a deep opening of shame. This, I told myself, is the reason my body is a rock-strewn wasteland in which no child may live.” John McCain died last August . And Meghan sort of takes comfort in the symmetry between that loss and the loss of her daughter. “When my father passed, I took refuge in the hope that someday we would be united in the hereafter,” she said. “I still imagine that moment, even as I trust that a loving God will see it happen. Now I imagine it a bit differently. There is my father — and he is holding his granddaughter in his hands.” How very powerful. We send our thoughts and condolences to Meghan McCain.

Source: JB Lacroix / Getty Aubrey O’Day Wants Barack Obama To Be Her Sperm Donor According to PageSix , Aubrey O’Day is ready to become a mom — and she has the perfect baby daddy in mind. The Danity Kane singer discussed who she wanted to father her seed: “I would like to do a show about inseminating me with some brilliant man’s sperm so I can have a child. Dream donor, Barack Obama. Because he’s brilliant, classy, kind, compassionate, witty, gorgeous. Everything that a great woman deserves, and that’s why he’s got a great woman.” Former President Obama has been married to OUR first lady Michelle Obama since 1992 and they share two daughters. O’Day hasn’t really dated Barack-caliber men in the past. She’s been linked to the likes of Pauly D and Donal Trump, Jr. So a former President seems out of her league. But we guess you can’t knock a girl for trying?

Source: Will Crocker / Getty Wrongfully Convicted Corey Atchison Freed From Prison Corey Atchison, 48, was released Tuesday by Tulsa County District Judge Sharon Holmes, after serving 28 years for a crime he didn’t commit, according to ABC News . Atchison was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1991 for the fatal shooting of James Lane in Tulsa in 1990 during what police said was a gang-related attempted robbery. It’s believed that Atchison was coerced into “confessing” he did the crime. The finding of “actual innocence” by Holmes makes Atchison eligible for up to $175,000 in compensation for a wrongful conviction under Oklahoma state law. After walking free from the courthouse this week, Atchison says he’s not holding any grudges towards the people who landed him in prison for almost three decades. Hit play.

Yesterday it struck Jada Pinkett Smith that there is a disparity in Sweden’s treatment of a white rapper like G-Eazy and a Black rapper like Rocky who were both charged with assault… Hold it … G-Eazy got to strike a deal a day and half after possession of drugs and assault charges??? But you’re holding Rocky. We got the message loud and clear Sweden. Trust me … we got it. — Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) July 19, 2019 Gerald had drugs too and STILL didn’t get half the punishment that Rocky is currently receiving. For those of you stuck on the comments that Rocky made previously about Black Lives Matter, Jada had a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ for y’all too… We all make mistakes and we can deal with that … in house … once he gets home. #freeASAP pic.twitter.com/TCMAVQR0HE — Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) July 19, 2019 While it’s not clear that this is a direct response, it’s pretty clear that G-Eazy was hearing the talk about his case vs. Rocky’s and wanted to make sure that people know where he stands. This is the sad truth…The difference between me and Rocky’s treatment in Sweden brings to mind two concepts that disgustingly go hand in hand: white privilege and systemic racism. Let's call it what it is. He should not be behind bars right now. My heart goes out to @asvpxrocky pic.twitter.com/PHDrKsfiUF — G-Eazy (@G_Eazy) July 20, 2019 At least he’s self-aware. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is on Twitter trying to win brownie points during the same week he told women of color to “go back where you came from” Just had a very good call with @SwedishPM Stefan Löfven who assured me that American citizen A$AP Rocky will be treated fairly. Likewise, I assured him that A$AP was not a flight risk and offered to personally vouch for his bail, or an alternative…. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 20, 2019 Even people like Justin Bieber can see the jig… I want my friend out.. I appreciate you trying to help him. But while your at it @realDonaldTrump can you also let those kids out of cages? — Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) July 20, 2019 That part.

He set the record straight in an interview with Quincey Harris . Man Damn why y’all won’t let us in, 50 told y’all not to let us in. LOL #lecheminduroi #bransoncognac pic.twitter.com/1bt7GH63mR — 50cent (@50cent) July 19, 2019 50 Cent spread a clip on social media feature Irv and Ja shouting outside of a club while a security guard told them both to calm down. Irv says what 50 is perpetuating is not the truth at all. “First of all, don’t believe Lucifer… Curtis… the devil is the king of lies. So Lucifer perpetuates lies. He perpetuated that we couldn’t get in SOBs.” Gotti points blame at the producers and WeTV’s “Growing Up Hip Hop.” “I haven’t gotten turned away from a club in at least 20 years. So that had nothing to do with it. We were shooting a reality show… we were shooting ‘Growing Up Hip Hop.’ And the producers of ‘Growing Up Hip Hop’ did a bad thing. That is now… I don’t wanna be on ‘Growing Up Hip Hop’ no longer.” He continued, insinuating that he would no longer be friends with some of the folks he respected on the show for stirring the pot. “I started off the series of ‘Growing Up Hip Hop… I have great friends… had great friends in Datari Turner, Tara Long, even one of the producers Jennifer Gardner, Kim Osorio… they used to be my good friends. And I explained to them, ‘Yo I’m doing great. I got millions of dollars. I don’t wanna go on the show with my children and y’all perpetuate beef…. made up beef. Early on in the season, they pitted Angie and started some beef. I immediately checked them and said we’ll stop doing the show. That’s not what my family’s about. I don’t wanna be beefing. I don’t care about a reality show that I need money where I’ll beef so I know that’s ratings.” YIKES! Hit play to hear it.
