While  Lil Wayne celebrated his daughter's Sweet 16 , his rumored flame was reportedly denied access to the party. According to Sandra Rose, Christina Milian arrived at the Sweet 16 affair and was denied entry by Reginae's mother, Toya Wright. Milian's dating history was the topic of discussion in a recent interview Toya did with VladTV when she called the singer's six degrees of separation with Nivea a mess. Meanwhile, Milian didn't refute the rumors but was seen at Karrueche's brunch in Los Angeles just two days before the party leading people to believe the singer never stepped foot in Atlanta. Reginae did celebrate her birthday with her parents and received some big gifts. Her stepfather, Memphitz, gifted her with an all white Ferrari while Wayne bought the 16-year-old a red BMW.

Azealia Banks Says She's Matured Since Creating Debut Album

Image
After  setbacks  and  constant riffs with other artists , Azealia Banks opened up to Rolling Stone about her delayed debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste, growing up in the public eye and why she's ready to make more mature music just weeks after her release. The "212" rapper says she was thrilled to release her album unexpectedly because she was ready for her fans to hear the two-year-old album. With her previous labels (Interscope and Polydor) giving her the runaround, Banks says she was able to have the power to release the album on her own time.  "My heart was pounding," she said when she tweeted about the album's release. "I was sitting at my dining table with my head-wrap on, in my panties and a T-shirt, with my iPad. It was just happiness and relief and yes, yes. I didn't really believe it was going to come out the day that my managers had told me. I'd get a date from the label, then it wouldn't come out. You just feel stupid after...

Darren Wilson Reportedly Receives $500k From Supporters

Image
Darren Wilson won't be leaving Ferguson with empty pockets as reports claim the former officer received huge cash donations from online fundraisers during the height of the Ferguson protests in September. According to Rolling Out, a GoFundMe page and another online group, Shield of Hope helped raise a combined total of $500,000, double of what supporters gave Michael Brown's family to cover their funeral costs. One of the fundraisers, Shield of Hope was shut down over backlash from supporters of Michael Brown. The other group was created by the people behind the  "Support Darren Wilson"  page on Facebook. They've denied shutting the page down and claimed they continue to raise money for the officer. They also showed their support to the officer when the grand jury announced Wilson wouldn't be charged for Brown's death. Their message reads: "Some people think our page just began yesterday. Just to clarify, we've been here since Day 1. We did hold r...

50 Cent may have skills in the booth, but his son Marquise Jackson is certain he can beat his famous dad in a one-on-one game of basketball. The 18-year-old was recently featured on "TMZ Hollywood Sports" where he talked about his budding basketball career. Marquise plays for his prep school St. John's Military Academy, and shows he has a bright future in the sports world.

"They say it's because of my dad. Or they think I'm not good. But at the end of the day, I show them I can play." He also says he would win in game against his dad. "13 to 0? Me." he sa...

Guy Refuses To Stop Masturbating On Airplane !!!!!

Image
Um, freaking gross!!! An airplane full of people which was headed to LA, had to land in Nebraska because a passenger wouldn’t stop masturbating on a Virgin America flight. This is very disturbing, there are all types of people on an airplane including little kids. The airplane was forced to make an emergency landing because of this. The police are saying that Doug Adams a 26 year old was jerking off in his seat while on the airplane. You would think that perhaps the guy was masturbating in the bathroom but no, right in his seat. He was screaming at the women sitting next to him while jerking off. A passenger even got this on film. It turns out a couple of Boston police officers were actually on the same flight and acted as quickly as possible to prevent more horrid acts. The passenger was wearing a hospital bracelet and clearly wasn’t in his right mind.. wonder what he was even doing on an airplane. Check out the video of the Police carrying the guy off the airplane. They also wore glo...

New Orleans Saints Among Teams Showing Interest in Ray Rice

Image
After being reinstated into the NFL, a few teams have shown interest in Ray Rice including the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts. According to ESPN, the teams more than likely won't actively approach him about the deal. Two other teams have also shown interest in the player but haven't been announced. Teams are not only worried about his personal life, but are also concerned on his overall performance. It isn't known if Rice was practicing during his time away from the league. Rice did however, go to domestic violence programs with his wife Janay Rice following the elevator incident that left his then fiancee unconscious. Janay detailed the incident in an essay to ESPN after the player was reinstated into the NFL. An AFC running back coach spoke on Rice's chances to return to a team given his past. "I don't know on that one," he said. "It's a different thing. It was so violent, such a volatile conversation earlier, I don't know what gu...

Cyber Monday deals on gadgets from Japan might be a nice change of pace

Image
When it comes to gadgets and  accessories , there is Japan, and then there is the rest of the world. When a nation has pushed technology like Japan has over the past generation, the result is seeing commonplace use of products that are still considered an outlier in other markets. One example is TVs in cars, such connectivity with satellite service is gaining ground in American SUVs, family  wagons , and minivans, but they have been an option in the land of the rising sun for well over a decade. When it comes to mobile technology, flip-phones are still very popular, but their form factor is nothing like what is available in other developed markets. For a while, these  devices  were (and in some cases still are) smarter than some  smartphones .  Japan remains a breed apart  in its approach to  some solutions . Granted, we have seen icons like  Sony struggle  in the traditional smartphone and computer space. However, we have also seen othe...

Darren Wilson resigns from Ferguson police

Image
(CNN) - Darren Wilson, the police officer who fatally shot an unarmed teenager in August, has resigned from the police department in Ferguson, Missouri, his attorney, Neil Bruntrager, confirmed to CNN Saturday night. In a telephone interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Wilson said he resigned after the police department told him it received threats of violence if he remained an employee. "I'm resigning of my own free will," he said. "I'm not willing to let someone else get hurt because of me." He said resigning was "the hardest thing I've ever had to do." The resignation, which is immediate, comes five days after a grand jury decided not to indict Wilson in the killing of Michael Brown, 18. The shooting sparked worldwide protests and the Monday announcement of no indictment triggered another round of demonstrations that continued through the week and into the weekend. The August 9 shooting and the way it was handled by authorities in Miss...

LG G Flex 2 expected be announced at CES 2015

Image
Back in May, we told you that LG was planning to  release a sequel  to its  G Flex  smartphone before the end of 2014. However, we’re now hearing that the new handset won’t be introduced this year.  According to Android Authority and unnamed sources, LG will officially announce the second generation G Flex - most probably called G Flex 2 - at CES 2015 in early January. Just like the original G Flex (pictured above), the new model should be curved and flexible, sporting a P-OLED display. However, it’s said that its screen  will be smaller  than the one featured by the current G Flex, while also offering a higher pixel resolution. As you may know, the original G Flex offers a 6-inch screen with 720 x 1280 pixels - not exactly the best resolution for such a large display.  Another feature that the LG G Flex 2 should keep is the self-healing back cover. There are no other details about the handset at the moment, but we can probably safely assume that ...

RZA Reveals He Invested $500k Into Wu-Tang Clan's New Album

Image
In an interview with The New York Times, RZA reveals that he's spent $500,000 of his own money to fund Wu-Tang Clan's upcoming album, A Better Tomorrow. The producer, director and songwriter also discussed the process behind the album and the differences between life in the booth and on the big screen. RZA confessed that his huge investment into the album won't hurt his pockets. Through the process of the album, the group dealt with a few internal conflicts like  Raekwon holding a strike over creative differences.  The producer says he's comfortable with his lifestyle and believes the investment is well worth it. "Everything. And I won't recoup. I'm already over budget," he said. "Maybe I'll net out a half-million-dollar loss. I invested in the album. Look, if I never did anything again in music, it wouldn't affect my life materially. I live a very satisfying life. Not because I've made a few dollars, but because I have a wife who love...

Grand Jury Nearing a Decision on Eric Garner's Death

Image
The family of Eric Garner is anticipating the decision from a grand jury in New York to see if Officer Pantaleo will face criminal charges for the 43-year old's  horrific death. According to CBS News, the grand jury is close to releasing their decision since hearing from the last witness, a police officer last week. The Staten Island district attorney has been silent on details surrounding the case but with photos and video evidence, the case has drawn comparisons to Michael Brown's death by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. Garner died during an arrest for allegedly selling loose cigarettes on the street in Brooklyn in July. During the arrest, Officer Daniel Pantaleo was seen placing the father of six in an illegal chokehold. The father's final words were, "I can't breathe." Garner died a few minutes later as paramedics failed to resuscitate him. Two officers including Pantaleo, were placed on desk duty following the incident while four emergency w...

Oscar De La Hoya Offers Floyd & Pacquiao Biggest Payday Ever

Image
Now that the hype behind the mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao has been rekindled, it looks like former boxing champion and top-notch boxing promoter Oscar De La Hoya is set on making the match finally happen. One of the major issues that has prevented the fight from happening is money.  In the past, Mayweather felt as though Manny was demanding too great of a percentage of the earnings, while Manny felt as though Floyd wasn't be fair with the monetary split.  Now, Oscar De La Hoya has stepped up and claims that he is willing to offer them the biggest payday in boxing history. He made the announcement on Twitter that he will do whatever it takes to raise the money to make the fight happen.  Check out what Oscar had to say above. Source:  InFlexWeTrust

Pregnant Ferguson Woman Shot by Cops & Loses Her Eye

Image
Shortly after much of the United States was sent into an uproar over the grand jury's decision not to indict Darren Wilson for killing Michael Brown, Ferguson police gave the public another reason to have major issues with the law enforcement.   Chaos erupted at a gas station in the 10000 block of Halls Ferry in the late hours of Tuesday morning, November 25th, which led to pregnant Dornella Conners being shot with a "less lethal" Ferguson police bean bag which sadly stripped her ability to see out of her left eye completely.  Dornella's right eye was badly damaged as well, and she has lost vision in her one remaining eye. She and her boyfriend De'Angelas Lee, were just driving around in the streets of Ferguson in respects to Mike Brown after learning that Darren Wilson had gotten off completely.  She told News 4 KMOV that they were not looting, rioting, carrying any weapons, or posing any sort of threat to anyone while peacefully driving around in their vehicle. ...

Tyler took to Twitter and completely bashed Shady XV, as respectfully as he could.  He began by informing Em that he is Tyler's favorite rapper; however, he also believes that his new album is "a*s."  He also believes that those close to him should give him honest opinions about his music when he's crafting an album, and tell him straight up if the work is sub-par.
