Meet The New Principal Of Newark’s Westside High School, Akbar Cook (Video)
September 25, 2018
Ellen always comes through with the great ‘feel good’ stories. This one on the brother Akbar Cook certainly ranks near the top of that stack. Watch.
Ellen sat down with Akbar Cook, Principal of a Newark, New Jersey high school, who after noticing at-risk students being bullied for dirty clothes, worked hard to install washing machines and dryers so the kids could do laundry. After hearing his story, Ellen teamed up with her friends at Cheerios to help Principal Cook continue to do good and support his “babies” at school.
Take care of the babies, Akbar. Our babies! And bless you, Ellen, for shining the light on this.

Young M.A – “PettyWap” (Video)
September 24, 2018
I’m rich and they f**kin’ hate it.
Yes yes! Young M.A got the checkbook, without the cookbook, just dealing with the rhyme book. And all the while haters are looking mad, M.A is just looking good. Her words, but I agree with them. Best co-co ‘bite down’ type flow on a track I have heard in a while. And I would NOT go looking for them. It’s just that M.A is certified dope! So when she drops something, anything, I MUST LISTEN & WATCH.

Robert Irwin & Jimmy Fallon Have Fun With Exotic Animals. Not Kevin Hart’s Idea Of Fun (Video)
September 24, 2018
Couple of takeaways: Robert Irwin calling something little, cute, and fluffy means RUN AWAY! For me, and Kevin Hart, at least.
Kevin Hart struggles to keep his fear in check as Robert Irwin, 14-year-old son of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, brings out some interesting animals to show him and Jimmy, including some kingsnakes, a tarantula and a falcon.

September 24, 2018
Been a minute since we had a Celebrity Family Feud clip up. Always fun to watch. After watching a second time I realized that Ayesha was actually one answer away from winning the whole thing herself! Has that ever happened??

Comedy: Odell Beckham, Jr. Speak On The Cold Truth Of His Career Path (Video)
September 21, 2018
It looks like somebody should have clued OBJ in on how silly Kevin can be. The blondie-curly-twirly though. Ha! Get y’all’s crazy azzes in the tub. Careful though, it is ‘Cold As Balls!’
Odell’s iconic hair is making it rounds to everyone on set! In this episode, Odell talks about growing up playing soccer, his journey into the NFL and finally catching that epic one-handed catch! We know you have all been on ice to see this episode! Let us know if it was worth the wait.
– LOL Network
They even recount the night that THE one-handed catch was born. It wasn’t always sweet before ODJ really got to eat, but it’s better now.
From The Writer/Director Of “Moonlight,” “If Beale Street Could Talk” Comes To Theaters This Fall (Trailer)
September 21, 2018
Oh maaann, this looks like a heartwrenching, emotional rollercoaster type drama… one well worth watching when it hits theaters. Starting to feel like Black movies (films with Black people in front of and behind the camera) are hitting a good flow. No need to ask us to ‘support’ or ‘give it a chance’ when they come out nowadays because they are just great stories. Hands down.
Trust love all the way.
IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK. In theaters Fall 2018.
– Annapurna Pictures
And this trailer is teasing the story told in James Baldwin’s novel, “If Beale Street Could Talk.” A story of Black love, struggle, and trying to get and keep a young family together in racially charged Harlem in the 1970s. Helmed by Barry Jenkins, doing his first film since “Moonlight.”
The Real Lives Of Real Life Sex Workers (Documentary)
September 21, 2018
Well done and done in a respectful way. Sometimes investigative journalists embed with subjects and get overly intrusive without at least building with them, ‘earning’ the right to pry, so to speak. But VICE always seems to get it right. Probably why they consistently turn out great documentary content.
Photographer Lindsay Irene travels to Toronto to shoot with a variety of sex workers in their homes with the goal of increasing the understanding of who they are.

Miami’s Luxury Car Hustle: Hey Player, You Can Rent ‘That Life’ For A While (Documentary)
September 21, 2018
Some say, “Fake it ’til you make it.” Then others may ask, “Why not put that money into actually making it?” Well, the guys running the luxury rental biz seem to actually be making it (money) from those who rent fancy cars to ‘fake it.’
“The car business, in general, is a tough business. The car rental business, even more so. Anybody who finds out they can make money and drive a Ferrari, I mean, they’re diving in head first,†says Matt Cruz, owner of MVP Exotic Rentals, a legitimate luxury car rental business based in Miami. But when everybody wants to be a celebrity, how to you tell the difference between faking it and making it? The game is finesse, and with the allure of getting behind the wheel of the world’s most expensive cars, who wouldn’t want to play? In a world where likes and fame can be bought and the filtered facade of Instagram reigns supreme, VICE meets some of the legit — and the not-so-legit — players that cater luxury car rentals to the biggest rappers, athletes, and celebrities of the moment.
