Source: Lester Cohen/AMA2011 / Getty Will.i.am Goes To Bat For Michael Jackson During Sexual Abuse Allegations Will.i.am is the latest celebrity to come out in support of Michael Jackson. In the last couple weeks following HBO airing Leaving Neverland — a two-part documentary that details Jackson’s alleged sexual abuse on minors–it seems like half the world is calling for a boycott of Michael’s music while the other half is vehemently defending him. Most recently, fellow musician Will.i.am weighed in on the controversy and people calling for a boycott, claiming it’s hypocritical for some very strange reasons. The Black Eyed Peas alum addressed those who have chosen to stop playing MJ’s music with a reference to the Holocaust. He explained why this latest scandal presents a double standard, saying that some are accountable for their crimes of the past, while others aren’t–specifically mentioning German firm Bayer, which he said made chemicals to “to kill all the Jews.” “We live in a very, very, very, very hypocritical, double-standard, fake society,” the artist said, according to the Evening Standard . “I can name a thousand other products that we still buy, still use, that are owned by folks that have done the most horrendous things to people, millions of them, and we don’t take their products from the market.” He continued, saying: “Bayer is really responsible for chemicals that killed millions of people but they’re headache medicine now. Are you going to ridicule them for their past? Imagine every country that ever had slaves, people said never travel to those countries because of what they’ve done in the past. Are you not supposed to do anything with anyone who ever did anything ill in the past? England, Spain, Portugal. That’s not that long ago. Are there reparations for everyone who’s done something ill? I could name a thousand more ills that are worse but we’re going to pull songs?” Even though Will.i.am is clearly in defense of Michael and continuing to play his music, the artist doesn’t exactly seem sure that he’s actually innocent. He went on to say, “I’m torn, because that’s not the Michael Jackson I loved and will always love. It is a smear campaign, there’s been a number of smear campaigns in the past. If he did it, it’s sad and inhumane. If he didn’t, what’s happening is sad, and inhumane.” Comparing a brand that makes medication with Michael Jackson and his lone choices and actions is a very odd choice, but it looks like Will.i.am is sticking to it.

Source: MediaNews Group/Torrance Daily Breeze via Getty Images / Getty College Student Murdered After Getting Into Wrong Car Samantha Josephson, a South Carolina college senior who disappeared Friday night after getting into the wrong car, was murdered, Columbia Police confirmed on Saturday night. According to police, Josephson got into the wrong car after hailing an Uber. An Uber did arrive but could not find her, and the student ended up never returning home or answering any of the repeated calls from her friends, who ended up calling police. Josephson’s body was discovered by hunters on Saturday morning. The police have charged 25-year-old Nathaniel Rowland after tracking down the black Chevy Impala that Josephson was shown entering in surveillance footage. He was driving the car only two blocks from where Josephson was last seen the night prior and police said the car had blood in the passenger seat and the trunk. Police also ended up finding bleach and other cleaning supplies in the car, which they believe he was going to use to scour the vehicle. The car also had automatic child safety locks which prevented its passengers from opening the car doors from the inside. “I will miss and love my baby girl for the rest of life,” Samantha’s father, Seymour Josephson, wrote on his Facebook page following the horrific news. Josephson’s death was the third in less than a week across the University of South Carolina system. On Monday, a student committed suicide and on Friday, baseball player Parker Neff passed away after he collapsed on the field during a game. “The loss of a student is never easy but this has been a particularly painful few days as we have experienced loss on several of our campuses,” USC president Harris Pastides said in a statement. “As a family, let’s continue to pray for all the families experiencing heartache and grief this week.”

They arrived to find that Craig had been hit in the midsection and died. Four people were subsequently taken into custody by the Huntersville Police Department.

According to the Washington Post , the autobiography is slated to become the best-selling memoir of all-time. Michelle Obama's memoir 'Becoming' could become the biggest-selling autobiography ever. https://t.co/B2MPfAuUcd — MSNBC (@MSNBC) March 27, 2019 The book—which was released in November—has sold over 10 million copies to date through print, digital, and audio purchases. It was a part of a two-book deal that the Obamas inked with Penguin Random House. Obama has been traveling across the country to promote Becoming and has left a trail of inspiration with every book tour stop. During the book tour, she has had candid conversations with individuals like Valerie Jarrett , Oprah Winfrey , Sarah Jessica Parker , and others. Becoming was a record-breaking memoir right out of the gate. 725,000 copies were sold on the day it was released and that number rose to 2 million 15 days after it made its debut. Those numbers made it not only the fastest-selling book of 2018 but the best-selling hardcover book of last year as well. It also made buzz globally, topping best-seller lists in places like Greece and Britain. “I’m not aware, in my personal experience with Penguin Random House, that we ever sold 10 million units of a memoir,” said Penguin Random House Chief Executive Markus Dohle in a statement. Obama has been humbled by the positive reception of her book and hopes that it will continue to inspire for generations to come. “I wanted to take people on a journey of a book,” she said at a recent book tour stop in Portland. “It’s so important for us to own our journeys. We are all this little girl just struggling to build a life.” News about this milestone comes weeks after it was announced that her alma mater, the Whitney Young Magnet High School in Chicago, will be naming an athletic facility in her honor.

Source: S3studio / Getty Man Gets Arrested For Throwing Coffee In Employee’s Face A man could potentially serve a 16-year prison sentence for throwing hot coffee on a McDonald’s employee, simply because she asked to see his receipt. 54-year-old Joseph Deluca of Cleveland, Ohio was arrested on March 5th for injuring the restaurant worker in back in February. According to reports from Fox 8 , Deluca pulled up to the restaurant’s drive-thru window at 12:30 p.m. and ordered one cup of coffee. The employee accidentally handed him two cups and when she re-checked his order, she asked to see Deluca’s receipt. The customer reportedly laughed and said he ordered both cups, but after the employee asked for his receipt again, Deluca threw the tray of hot coffee in her face before driving off. The store’s security cameras caught the excruciating injury that ended up hospitalizing the employee at MetroHealth Medical Center for both neck and shoulder pain. When Deluca was pulled over by Newburgh Heights police officers, he even ended up confessing to the wrong crime. “I know, I beat somebody up,” Deluca sheepishly told officers, his confession recorded on body cameras. “I beat somebody up, family member or something…he put his hands on my girlfriend and I punched him, and it turned out to be felonious I guess.” Erin Stone of the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Office said, “What is troubling with a case like this is you have someone who is going to work just to do her job. She asks to see his receipt and this angers him immensely and he throws two cups of hot coffee in her face.” According to Yahoo Lifestyle, the prosecutor’s office says that the victim had first-degree burns on her face, neck, and shoulder. Deluca was indicted on two counts of second-degree felonious assault, each of which carries a maximum sentence of eight years in prison.
