Say What? Plus-Size Retailer Avenue Is Closing All Their Stores For Good

Read the original here:

Source: valentinrussanov / Getty Plus size women are losing a retail staple. Plus-size retailer Avenue announced it will close all of their stores, according to a press release via liquidation company Hilco Merchant Resources. This plus size store is a staple for size 14+ women looking for moderately priced, everyday work clothing, dresses, bras, and more. Avenue has 222 stores located in 33 states within the U.S. The store was founded in 1987 and is headquartered in New Rochelle, New Jersey. In 2007, the company was purchased by Redcats USA (who is part of the Kering company). In 2012, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and was purchased by Versa Capital Management. Now, the company is liquidating all of their locations. What does this mean for you and their plus-size customers? It’s time to shop! Via press release, they revealed, “Avenue shoppers will be amazed not only by the incredible savings, but also by the great selections and styles available at the closing sale.” The brand currently has a lot of great summer styles, up to 70% off, allowing plus-size women to stock up for their August and September summer vacations and beyond. Personally, I like to also shop for upcoming seasons, so this is a great opportunity to also shop for summer by buying timeless things like a white dress or sandals. Avenue shared, “Given the popularity of the brand and the seasonal trends, merchandise is sure to sell out quickly. We are encouraging consumers to shop early and take advantage of these offers.” Naturally, as time goes on, they will continue to slash prices to get rid of merchandise. Will you be shopping Avenue before they close? If you are a plus-size woman, will you miss having access to this retailer? Share with us in the comment section!

Want Smoke? These Videos Prove Why Trina Is Not To Be F***** With

See the rest here:

Source: Prince Williams / Getty We’ve seen a lot of female rappers come and go, but none of them have remained as consistent as Trina . Since hitting the scene in the late 90’s and proclaiming that she’s the baddest chick, the queen of Miami has only gotten badder and finer with time. We usually only get to see the sweet, kind side of Trina. But over the years, we’ve seen that ish could turn up at any minute if you cross her. Earlier this week, some drama kicked off between the rap vet and her faux friend Nicki Minaj . Trina’s head of A&R at Rockstar records called out the Barb for not promoting the collab she did with Trina entitled “BAPS”, and for not being supportive of the Miami queen. The A&R went as far as to call Nicki a “manipulator” In an angry post on IG, he wrote: “I want to address the issue so bad about this #BAPS record and VIDEO and it’s taking everything inside of me to remain quiet. This isn’t the first time @nickiminaj has pulled this stunt and trust me it’s cool. I can’t get over how fake people can be for a Lil fame , likes and followers. when everyone tried to warn me I still gave her the benefit of the doubt.” All the drama stems from Nicki promoting her ‘”Hot Girl Summer” song with Megan The Stallion ten times more than she did the “BAPS” record. You know what I been seeing the fake love.. @NICKIMINAJ u dead ass wrong for not shooting a video with @TRINArockstarr but u shot a video with @theestallion so quick. That's bs. Trina been supporting u forever — BOSS (@ashanti_is_1) August 12, 2019 But in true Trina form, she addressed the matter as calmly as possible on Tuesday, by posting a video letting fans know that she’ll be clearing all this ish up on Instagram live, tonight! View this post on Instagram A little overwhelmed right now but tomorrow A post shared by katrina (@trinarockstarr) on Aug 13, 2019 at 8:42pm PDT She may be kind and sweet when she chooses to be, but hit the flip to check out proof that Trina is not the one to want smoke with. Stay woke.

Reasonable Doubt: Jay-Z Sus-ly Says He Spoke To Kaepernick Before Signing NFL Deal — But Colin’s Camp Claims THIS

Source: Shareif Ziyadat / Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/ / Getty Colin Kaepernick’s Camp Denies Speaking With Jay-Z Before New NFL Deal We’ve known Jay-Z to be many things over the years, but is a liar one of them? According to Colin Kaepernick ‘s camp, that may be the case. After news broke on Wednesday that Hov signed a new partnership with the NFL , folks automatically assumed that the rap mogul was undercutting Colin Kaepernick’s kneeling protest. However, Jay discredited the claims during a meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell at Roc Nation’s NYC offices, saying: “There’s two parts of protest: the protest, and then there’s a company or individual saying ‘I hear you, what do we do next?’ For me it’s about actionable items, what are we gonna do about it?” Both Jay and Goodell also claimed to have spoken to Kap before inking the deal to help the NFL with entertainment and social justice issues. But according to Kaepernick’s attorney, Mark Geragos, the rap mogul did not talk to the former NFL prior to signing the deal. Even Kapernick’s girlfriend Nessa spoke out about the claims, adding that Jay “NEVER included him in the discussion”. THIS is a lie. COLIN never spoke to Jay-Z and NFL ahead of that deal being done. They NEVER included him in any discussion https://t.co/TWmoXS4JVJ pic.twitter.com/2bjSIEtnjQ — NESSA (@nessnitty) August 14, 2019 And what does Hov have to say about the backlash? TMZ reports: “Jay-Z’s camp tells us that he he has absolutely spoken to Kap within the last 48 hours, however … that was NOT before Jay agreed to his new partnership with the NFL. It’s unclear what they discussed, but we’re told this was not a case of Jay checking in with Colin for approval. It couldn’t have been … the deal was already signed. To be clear … we’re told the question posed to Jay during the media event was simply whether he had spoken to Colin — NOT whether he had talked to Colin about the partnership.” Chiiiiillle. Who do you believe?

Ex-NFL Baller Shawne Merriman Hit With Wrongful Death Suit By Parents Of Dead Playboy Employee

Source: Emma McIntyre / Getty Shawne Merriman Sued For Wrongful Death Of Playboy Employee The parents of Kimberly Fattorini believe that former NFL player Shawne Merriman spike their daughter’s drink which ultimately resulted in her death. According to NYDailyNews , Fattorini’s parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Merriman last week. Kimberly died at a friend’s LA apartment in July 2017 after taking what the coroner says was a lethal combination of alcohol, cocaine, and the date rape drug called GHB. “I realize the (parents) must be suffering greatly, but (I) do not have any idea why they are defaming me by making false accusations in the press and in public pleadings and causing me economic harm,” Merriman wrote in a statement filed Tuesday in his related bankruptcy case. “I realize the (parents) must be suffering greatly, but (I) do not have any idea why they are defaming me by making false accusations in the press and in public pleadings and causing me economic harm,” Merriman wrote in a statement filed Tuesday in his related bankruptcy case. “Until the tragic death of Kimberly Fattorini made the newspaper, I was a sports commentator on a variety of television shows. I was also a motivational speaker, especially addressing the topic of overcoming adversity,” he said in the new statement. Merriman looks EXTRA funny in the light because he filed for bankruptcy late last year and now it kinda looks like he did it to keep ol’ girl’s parents from doing just this. Merriman told a judge that this was NOT the case, but still…

Farrah Abraham & Amber Portwood Bond Over Boob Selfies, Being the Greatest Moms

Even though Amber Portwood was arrested for domestic violence charges last month, she still enjoys a wealth of support, especially from her current and former Teen Mom Og co-stars. It's more than a little weird, as Amber stands accused of attacking Andrew Glennon with a machete while he was holding the her 1-year-old son, but hey — pretty much everything about the Teen Mom universe is weird as hell at this point. In fact, we reached the point where we thought nothing about this cast could surprise us. Until we learned that Amber and Farrah Abraham have become breast-baring besties. You can't make this stuff up, folks. Take a look: 1. The Throwdown It wasn’t all that long ago that Amber and Farrah nearly came to blows while shooting a Teen Mom OG reunion special. 2. Settling Their Differences But perhaps it should come as no surprise that Amber and Farrah have been able to find common ground. After all, they have an awful lot in common beyond the fact that they were both OG teen moms on Teen Mom OG. 3. In the Same League Both are thought to be the very worst moms to be featured on Teen Mom OG, and many believe they’re up there with Jenelle Evans in terms of the worst moms of the entire franchise. 4. Somehow … Of course, Farrah has never lost custody of her kid, so we guess Amber just took the lead in that competition. 5. Hard Times Yes, as you may have heard, Amber has lost custody of baby James following her attack on Andrew. 6. Sad Stuff In fact, a judge has ordered her to keep her distance from Andrew, and she’s only allowed to see James during supervised visits. View Slideshow

Miley Cyrus-Liam Hemsworth Split Turns Ugly: She Cheated! He’s a Druggie!

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth may have made passionate love for many years as a steady and strong couple. But the stars are no longer making nice. Not a few days after the announcement of their shocking split , not after conflicting reports have emerged in regard to where this long-term relationship went so tragically wrong. This past Saturday evening, a rep for the singer issued the usual sort of confirmation one makes after one’s client ends a serious romance. “Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time,” this rep told People Magazine, adding at the time: “Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers. They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. “Please respect their process and privacy.” LOL over this last part, right? At almost the same time this announcement was made, photos of Miley kissing Kaitlynn Carter in Italy emerged. She’s the ex-wife of reality star Brody Jenner and, yes, she’s a woman. Did Cyrus actually cheat on Hemsworth ? Was there trouble in married paradise long before this same-sex lip-lock? Was Miley just sick of boning Liam every night ? As you might expect, many questions have been floating around the Internet in regard to this split, with TMZ now reporting that things have turned VERY ugly between the exes. The accusations are just flying back and forth. THIS IS WHAT MILEY’S SIDE IS ALLEGING: The singer did all she could to save the marriage. She encouraged couple’s therapy and she was willing to work on the failing aspects of the relationship — but Hemsworth was drinking a ton and using various drugs. Especially due to her own history of substance abuse, Cyrus wanted no part of any of this. So there’s that. THIS IS WHAT LIAM’S SIDE IS ALLEGING: All those charges listed above are total and complete malarkey. What really transpired here? Miley cheated with Carter. “This is another attempt by Miley to distract from her infidelity and recent outrageous public behavior,” an insider close to Hemsworth tells TMZ, further muddying the waters of this break-up. The couple got married in December after dating on and off for about 10 years. Cyrus, however, recently gave an interview in which she bristled over the term wife and made it clear she is still very attracted to women. To be clear, neither Miley nor Liam has leveled any of the accusations described here. These all came from anonymous sources. Earlier this week, both celebrities issues vague/profound/amicable statements of their own in response to the split, starting with this from Cyrus: Don’t fight evolution, because you will never win. Like the mountain I am standing on top of , which was once under water , connected with Africa, change is inevitable. The Dolomites were not created over night, it was over millions of years that this magnificent beauty was formed. My dad always told me “ Nature never hurries but it is always on time”…. it fills my heart with peace and hope KNOWING that is true. I was taught to respect the planet and its process and I am committed to doing the same with my own… And then this from Liam: Hi all. Just a quick note to say that Miley and I have recently separated and I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward. This is a private matter and I have not made, nor will I be making, any comments to any journalists or media outlets. Any reported quotes attributed to me are false. Peace and Love.
