Bloomberg reports the company is phasing out the tool that Mac users have utilized to help manage their music, watch movies, and TV shows. The decision to trash iTunes is on par with Apple’s new vision for its future when it comes to its gadgets. Now there will be separate apps for users to listen to music, watch movies and TV and listen to podcasts. You will still be able to manage your Apple gadget through the music app. The announcement of the move came on the heels of Apple’s upcoming WWDC where the company is expected to confirm the decision and announce how it plans to move going forward. Per Bloomberg : iTunes has been the way Apple users listen to music, watch movies and TV shows, hear podcasts, and manage their devices for almost two decades. This year, Apple is finally ready to move into a new era. The company is launching a trio of new apps for the Mac – Music, TV, and Podcasts – to replace iTunes. That matches Apple’s media app strategy on iPhones and iPads. Without iTunes, customers can manage their Apple gadgets through the Music app. Well if you were looking to blow the dust off your iTunes to help manage your new iPod Touch , then you won’t receive this news too well. 18 years is a long time for an app, so the app is rare air when it comes to outlasting the competition. iTunes had a hell of a run though, never forget. — Photo: Thomas Trutschel / Getty
L aw enforcement in Virginia Beach has been frantically searching for stories for why 40-year-old DeWayne Craddock shot and killed 12 people on Friday. Initial reporting claimed he was a disgruntled city employee but a new report indicated that theory has been debunked, leaving even more questions. See Also: Watch A Black Man Save His Life While A White Cop Has A Gun In His Face Craddock was reportedly not fired from his job after all. Instead, he resigned just hours before the shooting and PBS reported that his letter of resignation gave no indication that he was anger or upset. City Manager Dave Hansen also said Craddock was an employee “in good standing” and showed “satisfactory” job performance. It was not immediately clear why he resigned. However, the New York Times reported there were acts of violence from Craddock. He allegedly got into physical “scuffles” with other city workers, just a week before, which resulted in “a violent altercation on city grounds.” It’s not clear what the altercations were about. That said, there were at least three witnesses who said Craddock saw and locked eyes with them but opted against shooting them. Therefore, the shooting may not be as random as officials have said while police continue to look for a clear motive. The Washington Post reported that there was one person with whom Craddock “casual acquaintances” who was not shot. Craddock did shoot and kill two of his supervisors, one fatally. Craddock was described as a longtime city worker employed as an engineer with the Department of Public Utilities at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center for about 15 years. “ Victims were found on three floors of Building 2 and one victim was found shot in a car outside,” CBS News reported . Building 2 is where the Department of Public Utilities is located. The Virginia Beach city manager told the New York Times that Craddock was technically still employed when he started shooting and that he “had a security pass like all employees had and he was authorized to enter the building.” One of the victims, Ryan Keith Cox , was being praised as a hero and guardian angel . Cox was an account clerk who worked in the public utilities department for over 12 years. Christi Dewar, a survivor of the shooting says she may not be alive if it wasn’t for Cox. “If it wasn’t for him, there would have been several more people that had perished,” Cox said. Our condolences go out to everyone affected by this shooting.

She decided to publicize it all on Youtube while being fully transparent about her decision. You can see it all here : she knifed up her chin, her waist and got a little bit of filler. While we commend her openness about all of this, we want to take a look at the pre-op DreamDoll. She’s always been absolutely bad as hell and we want to just remind you of all of that.

JP Yim one notable point was kept under wraps: West’s plan to launch a fashion incubator. Going forward, the initiative will provide mentorship and financial assistance to “aspiring creatives in fashion, design, and more,” as Vogue notes. West famously interned at Fendi with Virgil Abloh before the pair stepped into the world of fashion; this incubator program is indicative of the rapper passing the torch to a new generation of creatives. Chicago-born Maisie Schloss is the grant’s first recipient; a Parsons graduate and former YEEZY womenswear designer, Schloss will receive input and aid from West as she prepares to launch Masie Wilen, her debut clothing line.
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Pooh brings the mess on tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta . We pick up from the mele in Trinidad. Mimi, for whatever reason, thought bringing Pooh would be a good idea but all Pooh did was rehash old drama by talking about how Karlie poo’d (no pun intended) on their sheets during their freaky threesome activities and other dumb stuff. Security shut down any attempts at physical fighting because they’re the real MVP’s. Let’s fast forward a bit to another day. Karlie takes the group to meet her family at their home but she can’t fully enjoy herself because she’s still disturbed about earlier. Karlie pulls Mimi aside and asks her what the heck she was thinking by bringing Pooh. Mimi regurgitates the same ol’ talk about wanting them to make amends, yatta yatta. Then things get awkward when Karlie’s relatives start prying. Karlie’s cousin asks why Joc is there but her fiance isn’t. Then she asks if Kendra is okay with the fact that Joc and Karlie are cool given their history. Obviously, Kendra is fake-okay with the situation but she’s definitely not here for this discussion with the cousin so she walks out so she can mind her temper and her business. And guess what? Pooh is still in Trinidad after all of this. The next day she links up separately with Rasheeda and Mimi because they want to get her side of the story. Rasheeda delivers the memo from Captain Obvious that they’re both being petty and ridiculous. So, Pooh agrees to try again. Meanwhile, Karlie is hanging out with Kendra and The Bam. Eventually, Mimi and Rasheeda join them, and we can assume Pooh is still on the bus or something because she doesn’t appear at first. Anyway, Mimi and Rasheeda pull Karlie aside to once again see if they can talk. Then Pooh finally appears and the millionth peace talk begins. At first, they do the back and forth thing again. Karlie wants Pooh to admit that Pooh lied, that she never slept with her husband, and they never had a threesome. Pooh remains firm in that it did happen. Then Karlie says something interesting. She says, “My dude doesn’t care what happened between us. When I met him I stopped f–king with you.” Say what now? But didn’t Karlie previously deny any and all relations with Pooh and/or her husband? Anyway, this convo surprisingly remains civil but nothing really gets resolved. They just move on…I guess. Then they separate again. Mimi and Rasheeda are back with Pooh. Rasheeda brings up how Karlie played them the recording she had of Hiriam saying they never did anything yatta yatta. But then Pooh plays a recording of that convo she had with Hiriam talking about how he lied because would never tell the truth about messing with Karlie because “OG’s don’t kiss and tell.” In other news, Scrapp links up with Stevie to express his grievances. Turns out, Stevie didn’t support Scrapp because he was dealing with his own federal case. Then Scrapp asks him about the rumor he slept with Tommie. So, what had happened was, according to Stevie, they were in a car together and she pulled out his beefcake. Her version as per last season’s reunion is that he flashed her. The one thing where they’re consistent is that they did not have sex. Stevie apologizes though because there was kind of a thing with Tommie. Scrapp accepts and they move on. Later on, Scrappy and Bambi go to dinner. It’s all good at first but then Scrappy says he wants to work on making another baby. Bambi says she isn’t interested in having another baby at the moment because she just had a baby, and needs a moment to recuperate, duh! But then she spills tea from a convo she had earlier with Kendra. Kendra told her that she doesn’t want kids with Joc. She is not trying to be babymama number five. Obviously, that news gets back to Joc and he’s hurt because he was planning to propose. It’s odd that he’s as taken aback as he is though. It’s not like he already has 8 kids with the oldest being about to turn 19 or anything. Anyway, bow he’s rethinking things with Kendra and it gets worse later on. Basically, Karlie takes the group to a party where Jock, who is drunk out of his mind, pulls up to Pooh, who is dancing provocatively, and pours water on her butt. Kendra happened to see that and she loses it. She pulls Joc to the side to see what’s up and he brings up the whole thing about her not wanting to have his baby. And we end on that note.

We’ve known for quite some time that Luke Parker sucks . But for some reason, it seems The Bachelorette sleazebag had Hannah Brown fooled throughout much of his time on the show. Yes, Luke’s facade began to crumble on last week’s episode when Hannah had to ask him to tone it the f–k down so she can actually interact with some of the other guys. [ALERT: In case you haven’t figured it out already, major spoilers for Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette lie ahead.] But we know that he redeems himself at some point in the weeks to come, because Luke makes it to Hannah’s final four . Which means he rides his “douchebag who found Jesus” routine all the way to the fantasy suite stage. Fortunately, it sounds like he didn’t wind up riding anything else, if you catch our meaning. The latest inside intel comes to us courtesy of the ever-reliable Reality Steve. Steve was the first to identify Hannah’s finalists, and now he has photographic evidence that Luke makes it all the way to Athens. But as with Rizzo and Kenicke before them, Hannah and Luke’s romance falls apart in Greece: As Reality Steve points out, an irate Hannah can be seen responding to an apparent assault on her character in the preview posted below. “I can’t believe you just said that to me. I don’t owe you anything at this point,” Hannah shouts. Later, we see her say, “I have had sex…and Jesus still loves me.” According to Steve, Luke had the fourth overnight date and he was sent home during the dinner portion. Hannah Brown Kicks Luke Parker Off The Bachelorette! Based on that information and Hannah’s revealing comments in the preview, it’s safe to conclude that Luke inquired as to how far Hannah went with her previous dates, and he was not happy with the results. Luke is a former player, but he’s also a born-again evangelical Christian, and he probably wouldn’t be pleased to learn that his future wife had just slept with multiple other dudes. Obviously, that’s Luke’s problem and not Hannah’s, and she absolutely did the right thing in giving him the boot. As for who receives the final rose, well … you’ll just have to wait until the season finale to find out. Just kidding, we totally know who Hannah is engaged to , and you can find that info (along with plenty of other juicy tidbits) in the gallery below: View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Check Out the Lucky Guy Who Wins Hannah’s Heart!
