Rihanna makes history with new fashion label
Article via Jamaica Gleaner
Barbadian international superstar Rihanna is to launch a fashion label with French luxury goods group Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH).
The label is called Fenty, after the singer’s full name Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
It is scheduled to be launched later this year.
Rihanna will become the first woman of colour to lead a house under the LVMH brand and the first woman to create an original brand for the group.
Fenty, which will produce clothing, shoes, and accessories, is the first new label under the LVMH brand since 1987.
The label will join around 70 brands already in the LVMH group, including Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Givenchy.
In a statement, Rihanna said that she had been given a “unique opportunity to develop a fashion house in the luxury sector, with no artistic limits.”
“I couldn’t imagine a better partner, both creatively and business-wise, and I’m ready for the world to see what we have built together,” she said.
Chairman and CEO of LVMH, Bernard Arnault, said Rihanna would be supported with a team and resources.
“Everybody knows Rihanna as a wonderful singer, but through our partnership at Fenty Beauty, I discovered a true entrepreneur, a real CEO and a terrific leader,” he said.

Dennis Rodman accused of stealing 400-pound crystal, merchandise from California yoga studio
Article via YahooNews
A Southern California yoga studio accused former NBA star Dennis Rodman and several others of stealing more than $3,500 in merchandise, including a 400-pound amethyst crystal, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Ali Shah — who owns of Vibes Hot Yoga in Newport Beach, California, with his wife — said that Rodman and several others, including a former employee, entered the studio twice this week and stole merchandise and the crystal — and that they saw the events take place live on video, per the report.
Shah said that Rodman and the others worked together to distract an employee on Tuesday so they could steal clothes and other merchandise. Shah said one of the women stuffed merchandise into her purse, and took items to the restroom to remove hangers.
“It’s clear as daylight,” Shah told the Los Angeles Times about the security footage.
The crystal shattered
The group also reportedly told an employee that the “ginormous geode amethyst crystal,” which was on sale for $2,500, belonged to them and they were there to pick it up.
One of the men in the group then tried to move the crystal onto a hand truck, per the report, and dropped it. The crystal shattered, which caused about $5,000 worth of damage to the floor. Rodman identified his friend who actually broke the crystal in an interview with CBS2 Los Angeles, though the man only said, “no comment.”
Rodman told TMZ later that an employee actually asked them to move the crystal, and that he tried to help “being the good person that I am.”
Shah, who was watching the footage live remotely, contacted both the employee and police, who arrived about 10 minutes after they left to take a report.
Returning the next day
Shah said that Rodman and a woman returned on Wednesday, and were waiting for the studio to open that afternoon. Again, Shah said that Rodman tried to distract the employee while the woman grabbed merchandise.
They left after about 10 minutes.
The pair reportedly smelled of alcohol on both trips to the store, which Shah described as “sloppy.” Rodman denied that claim to TMZ.
“This is a weird, freak situation,” Shah told the Los Angeles Times.
Rodman denies the accusations
The five-time NBA champion has denied the accusations multiple times, and said that he asked the owner if he could have some gifts.
“He said, ‘Dennis, get anything you want,’” Rodman told CBS2 Los Angeles. “I said, ‘OK, great.’”
Rodman told TMZ that he thinks the studio was simply trying to shake him down.
“They call it a heist, because guess what? That f—ing company, I guess you call it yoga or something? They’re broke,” Rodman told TMZ.
“This is publicity, and s— like that … I don’t need to steal s—. They gave me s—.”
The Newport Beach Police Department is currently investigating the incident, and has not arrested anyone, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Rodman played in the NBA from 1986-2000, most notably with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011.
He has remained in the news in recent years for his public friendships with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and United States President Donald Trump. Rodman’s relationship with Trump started when he appeared on “The Celebrity Apprentice” in 2009, and Rodman has visited Kim in North Korea multiple times. He also wished both Trump and Kim the “best of luck” before their second summit in Vietnam in February.

Texas Stepfather Who Reported 4-Year-Old Girl Missing Has Been Arrested
The man who reported a 4-year-old Texas girl had been abducted from him last weekend was arrested near Houston Saturday and police say they have found blood in his apartment linked to Maleah Davis.
Darion Vence, who lived with Maleah and her mother, was arrested without incident at his brother’s home in Sugar Land, Texas, about 22 miles (35 kilometers) southwest of Houston, a statement from Houston police said. He was charged with tampering with evidence.
Vence told police last Saturday that men in a pickup truck abducted him, 4-year-old Maleah and his 2-year-old son before freeing him and the boy. But Sugar Land police, who initially interviewed him, said his story kept changing and didn’t add up.
Houston police said Saturday that some details of his story turned out to be false. Vence reported his silver Nissan Altima was taken in the abduction but surveillance video showed that vehicle was used to drop Vence off later at a hospital, where he reported the abduction, police said.
“Blood evidence obtained from Vence’s apartment has been linked to Maleah,” the Houston police statement said.
Vence also was observed carrying a full laundry basket from the apartment, police said. That basket was later found in the trunk of the Nissan along with a gas can.
Maleah’s mother Brittany Bowens, said Vence is her former fiance. Bowens appeared outside her apartment Friday as Quanell X, a local civil rights activist, addressed reporters on her behalf.
Quanell X said that Vence had abused Maleah and that Bowens believes Vence harmed the girl.
Police have described Vence as Maleah’s stepfather. But Quanell X said that Vence and Bowens were recently in a fight and she broke off their engagement.
Child Protective Services removed Maleah and her brothers from the home Vence and Bowens shared in August after the girl suffered a head wound, but the children were returned in February, according to an agency spokeswoman.

70-year-old Florida man driving on highway stands through sun roof, leaves car on cruise control at 100 mph
Polk County, FL (WFTS) — Florida Highway Patrol Troopers arrested a Lakeland driver after being caught on video standing through a sun roof as the car continued to speed down Interstate 4 in Polk County.
An off-duty Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputy was behind 70-year-old Leonard Olsen when he stood up while driving westbound on I-4 at a high rate of speed, according to an arrest report.
Video captured Olsen standing up in a white Cadillac with his arms spread open around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
In a sworn witness interview, the deputy said Oslen “bounced back and forth in the center lane…and sped up to over 100 miles per hour and slowed to about 40 miles per hour.”
Troopers caught up to Oslen on US-98 and Wedgewood Estates Blvd.
When asked why he did it, Olsen told troopers he wanted to praise God.
“I thought it would be a nice way to praise God for a minute, and I thought it would be nice at the time and that’s what I did,” he said, according to arrest records.
He also told deputies the vehicle was in cruise control at the time.
“The car drivers itself and has a gigantic computer in it,” he said according to records.
Before he was detained, Olsen told FHP troopers he’d rather go to jail than go home.
“My wife treats me like a servant and she’s the mistress,” he said. “Lock me up, I’d rather go to jail than go back home.”
Olsen is charged with reckless driving.
He remains booked at the Polk County Jail on a $21,000 bond.
