Coming To America" Sequel Confirmed After 30 Years

Image
Eddie Murphy is on the verge of making the kind of comeback fans of the 56-year-old comedian can appreciate. Following a year of developments on his return via a fourth installation of the Beverly Hills Cop series, word got around that a sequel to Coming To America might be in the works. The rumor was actually started when in March, Murphy himself, tweeted an image of actress Vanessa Bell Calloway that bore a caption reading, "Coming to America sequel?" This week the imminence of a part-two to the 80's classic received a confirmation with the naming of the film's director and screenwriter. Black-ish creator and Girls Trip co-writer Kenya Barris has been tapped to rewrite the script and Jonathan Levine of The Wackness, 50/50, and The Night Before will direct the Kevin Misher production. They replace original writers Barry Blaustein and David Sheffield, original director John Landis and producers of the 1988 original, George Folsey, Jr. and Robert D. Wachs. There has b...

Nicki Minaj Responds to Azealia Banks Apology

Image
Azealia Banks has been in the news quite a bit over the past few days. Her shots at Cardi B following "Bodak Yellow" ascended to the number one slot on the Billboard Hot 100 charts were the comments that reverberated the most throughout social media. The narrative always places Azealia Banks in the antagonist category but she could be looking to shift that narrative position. As much a fuss was made over Banks' comments about Cardi B it should be noted that the Harlem rapper has been going on Twitter rants heavily disparaging Nicki Minaj for years. But Azealia took the opportunity to shout out Nicki on Instagram, showing her respect for all she's done for the game and how she's dominated this generation of female artists. Well, Nicki caught wind of the kind words and reached out to Azealia Banks saying, "Hey, I'm not sure if you will see this but I want to apologize for whatever catty sh** I've said to and or about you in the past. I really do enjoy ...

Montreal Team Wants to Sign Colin Kaepernick

Image
Colin Kaepernick took the time during the previous NFL season to silently protest injustices and police brutality against African-Americans in the United States by kneeling during the national anthem. His gesture sparked much controversy that has only grown bigger a year later. Even the President of the United States gave his harsh opinion on what should be done to those who follow Kaepernick’s approach. Kaepernick’s protest has created so much of an impact that musicians, actors, and TV personalities have gone out of their way to show respect to his cause and kneel in solidarity. Because of his protest, many believe Kaepernick was blackballed from the NFL. When the press asked team owners about Kaepernick and why they wouldn’t sign him, many had views that were tied to the protest. Now, it appears that Kaepernick still may be able to play for a professional football team if he desires, as the Montreal Alouettes offered the player a contract. The Canadian Football Lea...

Trump: NFL Owners Are Afraid of Their Players

Image
It has been nearly one week to the day Donald Trump sparked outrage across the world of sports when during a campaign rally he referred to anyone who might kneel during the National Anthem as a "son of a b***h" and urged NFL owners to fire them from the team. And the social media savvy President continues to launch attacks in the protests' direction. On Thursday morning, September 28, the Commander-In-Chief called the demonstrations "terrible" and said owners only showed solidarity because they are intimidated. "I have so many friends that are owners. And they're in a box," Trump told Fox and Friends. "I mean I've spoken to a couple of them. They say, 'We are in a situation where we have to do something.' I think they're afraid of their players, you want to know the truth." Trump went on to double down on his call for commissioner Roger Goodell to consider outlawing protests during the National Anthem or otherwise risk l...

Scans Show Aaron Hernandez Had Severe CTE, Fiancee to Sue Patriots

Image
Fiancee of the late Aaron Hernandez, Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez, has filed a lawsuit against the NFL on behalf of their 4-year-old daughter Avielle Janelle. The lawsuit comes in light of results from a study of his brain that informed Hernandez's estate that he was suffering from a severe case of CTE at the time of his suicide. Jenkins-Hernandez is claiming that Hernandez was stricken with CTE during his three-year career with the New England Patriots and that the league is responsible for having exposed him to the threat of the neurodegenerative brain disorder. "The NFL had made certain representations to players during this time that Aaron was playing (2010 to 2012) and those representations turned out to be false," attorney for Hernandez's estate, Jose Baez said while announcing the $20 million suit. Baez's statement reinforces the claim made by Jenkins-Hernandez in a paragraph from the document that asserts that league officials "were fully aware of the ...

How to see if you're affected by the Equifax security breach

Image
Nearly half of Americans may have had their personal information compromised in a data breach at Equifax, one of the largest credit monitoring agencies in the country. The Atlanta-based company said Thursday it had been hit by a high-tech heist. The theft obtained consumers' names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some cases, driver's license numbers. That data can be enough for crooks to steal an identity. The Equifax CEO has apologized and reassured the thieves have not yet done anything malicious with the information. However, that doesn't mean we're all in the clear. "We have to assume that all of our information has already been compromised. Just beacuse there's been no illegal activity yet, doesn't mean there won't be going forward," says David Derigiotis, a Michigan cyber risk expert. HOW TO CHECK The company established a website, www.equifaxsecurity2017.com, where people can check to see if their personal inform...

Nicki Minaj Says Foxy Brown's Flow is the Only Thing She Competes With

Image
Nicki Minaj sent a birthday shout out to her fellow Trinandian emcee, Foxy Brown. Minaj credited Foxy with inspriring her flow and rap style saying, "I may have never even started rapping if it wasn't for her. KING FOX.." She continued with the praises saying, "Her flow & delivery is still unmatched. You can't listen to me w/o hearing her influence. She's still the only thing I compete w/when it comes to precision of flow, delivery & execution. Trini QUEEN 🇹🇹 Happy Birthday my love". Minaj's birthday message surprised many fans whom believe Minaj borrowed Lil' Kim's signature looks and rap style and has failed to pay homage to the Brooklyn rapper. Foxy Brown and Lil' Kim have a legendary 20-year long beef steaming from J.U.N.I.O.R. M.A.F.I.A.'S claims that Foxy's debut, "Ill Na Na", was a knockoff of Kim's album, "Hardcore". Vladtv

Usher STD Accuser's Lawyer Denies They Settled for $2 Million

Image
An alleged Instagram post by Quantasia Sharpton, the woman suing Usher for allegedly exposing her to herpes, was making the rounds over the weekend. The posts claimed that Sharpton was $2 million richer made many people believe that Usher settled out of court with Sharpton. However, Lisa Bloom, Sharpton's lawyer, denied the posts, saying that they're fake. Bloom told Gossip Cop that there is “no truth whatsoever” to the speculation, adding, “We are aggressively prosecuting the case and there have been no settlement talks at all.” Source: Gossip Cop

Tee Grizzley Says Matthew Stafford Will Prove Why He Got $135 Million Contract

Image
Detroit's very own Tee Grizzley was stopped by TMZ to get his take on his hometown NFL squad, the Detroit Lions, signing quarterback Matthew Stafford to a contract worth $135 million. Stafford will enter the 2017 season with the largest (for now) contract in NFL history with the 5-year $135 million deal including $92 million guaranteed. Tee Grizzley wasn't shy about showing his support for Stafford who threw for 4,327 yards with 24 touchdowns, and a QB rating of 93.3. Grizzley said it's about time someone in Detroit cashed in on a contract that large, and even suggested this is a sign of a citywide turn around for Detroit.

Dwyane Wade May Reportedly Land in Los Angeles or Miami After Buyout

Image
According to a report from Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade could be severing ties with his hometown team to either rejoin the Miami Heat or head to Los Angeles. Jackson cites close associates to Wade as tipping him off to Wade's possible destinations. It was reported in August that Wade was considering teaming up with his long time friend and former teammate LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, these most recent reports throw a wrench in a move everyone thought was inevitable. There is also the hurdle of getting Chicago to actually go through with the buyout, something neither coach Fred Hoiberg or GM Gar Foreman has confirmed. Wade is currently in the final year of his contract worth $47 million, after averaging 18.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists this past season. Vladtv

A 28-year-old aspiring pastor in Raleigh, NC is currently in jail on charges of murder after allegedly killing his wife after taking too much cough medicine. Matthew Phelps called 911 after waking up to see his 29-year-old wife "dead on the floor" telling the dispatcher, "I had a dream and then I turned on the lights and she's dead on the floor." He continued, "I have blood all over me and there's a bloody knife on the bed." Phelps went on to tell the dispatcher that he has trouble sleeping and takes medicine to aid that issue. "I took more medicine than I should have." He "took Coricidin Cough & Cold," explaining, "a lot of times I can't sleep at night." Coricidin Cough & Cold is made by Bayer who issued a statement saying: "Bayer extends our deepest sympathies to this family... Patient safety is our top priority, and we continually monitor adverse events regarding all of our products...There is no...

Facebook Releases Map of Exactly Where All 7.5B People in the World Live

Image
Facebook has an immense amount of information and now you can add where millions of people live to that list. The social network created a data map of the human population by combining government census numbers, information obtained from satellite images, and Facebook's image recognition neural network. They can now locate every single man-made structure to within just five meters. Now, why was this map created? The company told CNBC that it will help them figure out which types of internet service, based either on land, in the air or in space, they can use to get good internet service to people currently living in areas with poor connections. They don't exactly know where all 7.5 billion people on earth live... yet. The map currently covers 23 countries. The team found that 99 percent of the population in those countries lived within 63 km of the nearest city. "Hence, if we are able to develop communication technologies that can bridge 63 km with sufficiently high data ...

Golden Axe is the latest game joining SEGA Forever collection

Image
SEGA recently added another title of its mobile game collection, Golden Axe. The legendary game is now part of SEGA Forever initiative and can be downloaded for free via Google Play Store. Golden Axe is a side-scrolling beat'em up that's also pretty difficult when you're not playing on easy mode. The good news is SEGA has added a couple of gameplay features that haven't been included in the original game. The most important is a new duel mode that puts players in the position of facing off wave after wave of enemies. On top of that, SEGA promised to add a multiplayer mode at some point in the future. Unfortunately, since the game uses a Unity emulator, you'll most likely notice some lagging, which is inexcusable for when SEGA adds the multiplayer mode. In any case, if you want to take a sip from the melancholy cup, Golden Axe might quench your thirst, at least for a while. Keep in mind though that even if Golden Axe is available for free, you'll have to pay ...

Cardi B has arrived. It's safe to say that the Bronx-born rapper has had an amazing 2017, appearing at the major events across the country, and rightfully so. In addition to her smash single "Bodak Yellow" going gold recently, today it was announced the smash single is now the most streamed song in the country.

Cardi beat out the likes of Lil Uzi, Travis Scott and 21 Savage for the top spot but it should be mentioned that most of the songs in the top categories are hip-hop oriented. Salute to Cardi and all the artists winning VladTV

Hurricane Harvey Now Most Expensive Disaster in US History - $190 Billion

Image
Various agencies have given different cost estimates for how much in damage they project Hurricane Harvey was responsible for, but what has remained consistent is how each new number matches or surpasses the $108 million record set by Katrina in 2005. Most recently AccuWeather reported that experts are now envisioning the storm's damage running $190 billion out of the pockets of donors and tax payers. That is over $80 billion more than Moody Analytics calculated and what $30 billion more than what AccuWeather first imagined the damages would turn out to be earlier this week. In historical terms, it is a number that surpasses both hurricanes Katrina and Sandy combined. With $190 billion being a full 1% of the nation's GDP, there is now talk of the Federal Reserve now postponing its next interest hike. Vladtv

Woman Pulls Gun on Walmart Shopper Who Attacked Her Daughter

Image
Authorities are investigating the actions of a gun toting mom during an argument that escalated into a fight in the back-to-school section of a Michigan Walmart this past week. Detectives from the Novi Police Department have spent the past few days looking over a cell phone camera recording taken on Monday [August 28] at the Novi Towne Center store. They have also made the footage available to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office, as it shows the moments that tensions from a dispute over the last notebook on a shelf boil over. A 32-year-old Farmington Hills woman had been shopping for school supplies for her children with her 46-year-old mother in her company. According to the police report, the conflict began when a 20-year-old woman from South Lyons happened to reach for the notebook at the same exact time as the Farmington Hills woman. Following a brief exchange of words, a physical altercation broke out, prompting the 20-year-old's mother, 51, to appear from far off dow...

High School Freshman Has Meltdown Heading to Her First Day of School

Image
First day jitters, we have all been there. As the weather begins to cool down and the leaves begin to change colors, we know that means fall is around the corner at the beginning of school shortly thereafter. Some people are better equipped than others to deal with these jitters, and this video is proof of that. High school freshman J'ia Gladney of Mesquite, Texas had a hilarious meltdown on her first day of school. Her mother, Crystal Alexander, recorded the ordeal on camera and posted it to Facebook. In the video, Alexander can be heard telling her daughter to 'breathe' and 'calm down' as N'ia is crying hysterically at the idea of walking into school alone. While amused, Alexander had to drop off are the children of their own school so she made sure that her T'ia knew going to school wasn't optional. Watch the video  here .

White House Backs Away from Promise of Trump Donating $1M of His Money

Image
Earlier this week, we reported that Donald Trump planned on donating $1 million of his own money toward relief efforts from the devastation of Hurricane Harvey. Trump was part of a slew of other celebrities who generously donated after Harvey saw that floods rose to as high as 15 feet and killing at least 40. On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters she hadn't 'had a chance' to ask the President if his donation would be from his personal account or via the Trump Foundation. This is a complete backtrack from yesterday when the White House assured reporters that the donation would come from his 'personal money'. If Trump chooses to use his own money, it would represent a break from his previous actions in recent years, when he made donations to his own Trump Foundation. Trump did, however, donate to $10,000 of his personal money to the Police Athletic League of New York City, in 2009. Thoughts? Let us know in the comments. Sou...

Champion Basketball League Sues Ice Cube's BIG3 for Poaching Players

Image
According to the $250 million suit, Cube began hanging around CBL executives and players prior to the league's 2014 launch. The rapper/actor had gotten so close with George, he claims, that the two discussed Cube and his partner, Jeff Kwatinetz collaborating to have their leagues work in tandem when George learned that he was starting the BIG3. What George apparently didn't see coming, was that some of his players were being recruited to cross over at the start of the BIG3, according to the suit. George says that what really rubbed him as a violation of trust was how Cube began having his guys sign exclusive contracts, which thereby forbade them from alternating between leagues. The CBL lost more than 20 stars to the BIG3, he claims. "When certain players expressed their desire to participate in the CBL games, Mr. Cube confronted the players personally about playing in the CBL and threatened the players that they would be fined, not allowed to participate in the 52% of r...

LeBron, Lue Reportedly 'Cooled' on Thomas Trade Following Physical

Image
With the trade between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics now finalized, reports have surfaced that Isaiah Thomas' physical has 'cooled' the excitement of LeBron and Coach Tyronn Lue. The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor reported a league source as saying, "as news spread throughout the organization that Thomas could miss time deep into the upcoming season, James and Lue cooled on the deal." However, Cavs upper management has reiterated to both LeBron and Lue that the move to acquire Thomas and Crowder was made to "help the team compete with the Warriors now." With the updated trade package, the Cavs received Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic, a first-round pick in the 2018 draft and a second-round pick in 2020 draft. Did the Cavs get the better deal?
