     It there’s one thing we can all learn from Empire it’s the importance of respect.  Cookie Lyon teaches Hakeem using a broom and Lucious gives Hakeem the option to take his life after he realizes his youngest son has no respect for him.

    Kobe Bryant deserves the utmost respect for the work that he has put in and 2K17 fully understands.  Michael Jordan proved that you don’t know what ya got until it’s gone and Kobe will do the same.  It’s easy to take him for granted, but the NBA will miss him dearly!

    “Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies: Computer Models of the Fundamental Mechanisms of Thought” was the first book ever sold on Amazon.com.  The book was ordered by John Wainwright on April 3, 1995 over a T-1 connection.  The image above show the book along with its original packing slip.  
    The book was written by Douglas Hofstadter, a professor of cognitive science known for his insightful quotes: 
    “Since most women are kind of different from the top-model image, there is a constant losing battle of self-image.  It’s damaging when every woman that’s portrayed in the media or who are on the covers of magazines are part of a stereotypical form of beauty, whereas the average woman is not.”
    There are so many dimensions of a woman that should be glorified yet Marilyn Monroe began a trend of seduction that eventually led to surgical enhancements as females attempted to satisfy what they thought men appreciated.

    We’ve come a very long way as actresses like Taraji P. Henson are changing Hollywood by challenging preconceived notions.  While there is still sexuality, it is not the only feature offered by female character like Cookie Lyon and Olivia Pope, who impress viewers with their intelligence more often than they impress us with their assets.

    Kelly Rowland couldn’t figure out her life in her role as Lucious Lyon’s mother on Empire.  One thing Kelly has never had difficulties figuring out is creating amazing music.  
    On BET’s Chasing Destiny Rowland is searching for the next great girl group considering there are very few active right now.  Kelly has brought Frank Gatson along for the ride, the talented choreographer responsible for Beyonce’s flawless videos.

    In the show’s initial episode we were introduced to some unique contestants, especially Gabby from Glendale, California.  Gabby is a unique 19-year-old who some may describe as a geek.  In the show’s first episode Gabby struggles in her attempt to sing Blu Cantrell’s “Hit ‘Em Up Style (Opps!)”.

    Frank lets Gabby know that she is boring physically and we all instantly began rooting for our new favorite contestant! Gabby is simply adorable and it’s difficult not to fall in love with her.  Frank’s brutally honest tail even agrees with Kelly regarding the fact that Gabby deserved to advance to the next round.
    Kelly Rowland Son’s Name
    Speaking of adorable, Kelly Rowland son’s name happens to be Titan, the same name as the rapper portrayed by Jim Beanz on Empire.  Sorry Jim, Titan has you beat…look at that smile!

    Who Is Lindsay Lohan Engaged To?

    So what happened to Lindsay Lohan? Love that’s what!

    Lindsay Lohan is engaged to Russian heir Egor Tarabasov.  Tarabasov is 22-years old whereas Lohan is 29.  The couple dated for about seven months and the Russian heir has decided to put a ring on it!
    Lohan may be headed to London, where her new hubby lives and works.  Lohan’s probation ended in May 2015 so London was the perfect setting, allowing her to lay low and spend time with her new love.
    Tarabasov’s father is a Russian millionaire who owns a London Real Estate company.  According to Heavy Egor’s father, Dmitry Tarabasov currently resides in Moscow and also owns a rail freight along with numerous building material stores.

    Lohan and Tarabasov were recently seen at the 2016 Asian Awards where Lohan decided to share her chest with the world:

    Earning Lohan’s heart was not easy considering she had Harry Styles showing up at her hotel room unannounced.  Lohan explained that Styles appeared at her door in a suit one night and she didn’t recognize him so she let him know that she was going to bed since it was 2 AM.
    Back in May 2015 Lohan reminded the world just how beautiful she is, appearing on the cover of Notion magazine.

  • LeBron James Instagram Model

    The NBA is exciting yet it’s those off-the-court stories involving our favorite players that we can’t get enough of.  From Dennis Rodman to Ron Artest, what’s basketball without some off-the-court action?


    The most recent involves LeBron James DM to Instagram model Rachel Bush.  Jordan Poyer plays safety for the Cleveland Browns and he is currently dating 18-year old Instagram model Rachel Bush.
    James allegedly attempted to make it go down in the DM, sending Bush “Hey what’s up” via his Instagram account.  Here is a screenshot of the conversation:

    The following image shows that Bush attended the Cleveland Cavaliers’ game against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, April 11.  LeBron led the Cavs to the top spot in the NBA Eastern Conference.

    Jordan Poyer attended Oregon State and is currently 24-years old.  Poyer sat next to Bush during last night’s game as the caption above “with bae” explains.

    King James allegedly DM’d Bush at 5:50 PM yet we doubt it considering the fact that LeBron is focused on defeating Steph Curry this year, if the Cavs and Warriors make it to the NBA Finals.  At 31-years old, LeBron has never been better at ignoring distractions.

    If you’re convinced that the married father of three is a cheater, the message above proves that Rachel Bush spends time in Miami…the same city LeBron spent three years in while playing for the Miami Heat!!

    What happened to Will Smith was sad and he will certainly not be forgotten.  The saddest part about the entire incident is that the accident was minor yet Cardell Hayes felt the need to turn to violence.  Using a gun is never the right way to get your point across. We have to stop taking material things so seriously.  If material things are what you’re referring to when you say “I’m Blessed” you have no idea about blessings!

    Arizona Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu actually knows Cardell Hayes, the murderer who shot Will Smith:

    The following video shows a hit and run moments before Will Smith was murdered.
    The surveillance footage above confirms that the fender bender was minor to say the very least.  Smith and his wife were leaving Sake Cafe located on Magazine Street.  Hayes is driving the H2 Hummer whereas Will and Racquel were driving the Mercedes SUV.  Hayes stops his Hummer short causing Smith to rear end him.
    The following video shows the aftermath of the Will Smith shooting:

    Alongside D. Smith, Betty Idol has brought more entertainment to the Love & Hip Hop Atlanta cast and we know that the duo will continue to surprise us with their tactics throughout the season.

    The following video shows Tammy throwing a drink on Betty Idol after D. Smith attempted to bring the two together.  Tammy simply couldn’t handle the disrespect:

    D. Smith has worked with numerous superstars including Kerry Hilson, Lloyd, Monica and Andre 3000.  She has won 2 Grammys for all of her amazing hard work.

    Who Is The Celebrity Love Cheat

    We can all learn from Hakeem Lyon’s mistakes.  If you don’t want anyone to find out DON’T DO IT! Over in the United Kingdom ex-rugby player Ryan Giggs has earned the nickname the “Celebrity Love Cheat” after getting his younger brother’s wife pregnant.

    Another lesson Empire teaches us is that family is everything.  Ryan had an eight-year affair with his brother’s wife.  In the following video Rhodri Giggs describes how he found out about his wife having an affair with his brother, Ryan.

    An injunction was filed for Giggs’ name to be protected in England and Wales yet he has been named in Scotland and the United States.  Daily Mail reports that the London Court of Appeals blocked the naming of Giggs in the United Kingdom despite the fact that the name is free to be read in the United States.
    Ryan is 40 and Rhodri is 37.  Rhodri’s ex-wife is 30 years old.  Ryan and Rhodri stopped speaking after the affair was revealed in 2011 but then Ryan invited Rhodri to a New Year’s party that Rhodri agreed to attend.

    It’s very difficult to remember how talented Ryan Giggs is considering the bad decisions he has made in his personal life.  The following video shows Giggs v. Arsenal in 1999.  His goal clinched the FA Cup semi-final:
