A Whitney Houston Song Just Dropped—7 Years After Her Death
Article via EOnline
Stop everything because a Whitney Houston song just dropped—and it will immediately make you want to dance with somebody.
Just in time to send you into the weekend with your car windows down, a decades-old recording from the late musical icon is here. The song is a cover of Steve Winwood‘s 1986 hit, “Higher Love,” newly remixed by Kygo.
Clive Davis, who first signed the songstress to Arista Records, teased the release on social media Thursday. According to a video the legendary music executive shared, Houston performed a cover of the song back in 1990 during her Feels So Right Tour in Japan and re-recorded the song a year later. Though, according to Davis, it had been intended for her third studio album, I’m Your Baby Tonight, Houston’s version was never officially released save for as a Japan-only bonus track on the album.
“When [producer] Narada Michael Walden sent me ‘Higher Love’ with the Whitney vocal, we didn’t want her being a cover artist at that time,” Davis explained to Rolling Stone.
Now, nearly 30 years later—and seven years since her untimely death—the song is officially out for everyone to hear, with a Kygotwist.
“I’m incredibly honored to have been able to work on this amazing vocal from one of the most legendary artists of all time!” the famed DJ and record producer wrote on social media. “Hope you guys love it as much as I do.”
And, with a possible touring hologram and album of unreleased music in discussion for the superstar’s estate, which signed with Primary Wave Music Publishing recently, we’ll be hearing a lot more of Whitney soon.
“The Estate of Whitney E. Houston and our new partner Primary Wave are delighted with the collaboration between Kygo and Whitney. We knew Kygo would be the right producer to enhance Whitney’s powerful vocal performance on ‘Higher Love,’ to the standards and expectations that Whitney’s fans have recognized for over three decades,” Pat Houston, Whitney’s sister-in-law and executor of her estate, said in a statement.
“The resurgence of this precious archival performance will carry Whitney’s musical legacy on to a younger generation for years to come. Everyone should be ready to dance to this uplifting and inspiring record-a testament to Kygo’s incredible talent, and a reminder of why we fell in love with Whitney from the very beginning!!!”

Willow Smith Tells Her Grandmother She Desires Bisexual Bigamy
Article via Breitbart
Willow Smith – daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith – told her grandmother that she desires a sexual relationship with a woman and a man during the latest episode of the Facebook web series Red Table Talk.
The web series features the Smith family discussing a range of unconventional topics. The latest webisode revolved around Willow Smith’s desired “alternatives” to traditional marriage, involving the idea of a “throuple.” She told her family that her “ideal” relationship would involve both a man and a woman at the same time.
“Personally, male and female, that’s all I need,” Smith said to her mother’s initial dismay.
“Well, there it is … I think my stomach just [jumped],” Pinkett Smith said, before adding, “Listen, you know me Willow, whatever makes you happy.”
The younger Smith explained that she loves men and women “equally,” and because of that, she would “definitely want one man, one woman.”
She said she could embrace a polyfidelitous relationship, which is essentially a non-monogamous relationship that carries stricter standards about devotion, intimacy, and equality of the partners within the group.
“I feel like I could be polyfidelitous with those two people. I’m not the kind of person that is constantly looking for new sexual experiences,” she explained.
“I focus a lot on the emotional connection and I feel like if I were to find two people of different genders that I really connected with and we had a romantic and sexual connection, I don’t feel like I would feel the need to try to go find more,” she continued.
At one point in the episode, the family speaks to a throuple about the complexities of their relationship. The “Whip My Hair” singer was completely on board.
“That’s what humans are made for. Our brains are wired for connection and for community,” Smith said. “And when we cut off those connections of – like, ‘Oh no like I’m only supposed to love one person, like that’s the way it’s supposed to be,’– that can make some people really depressed and sad and not even know why that’s happening to them.”
Pinkett-Smith said she could understand polyamorous relationships to an extent, because she considered her relationship with Will Smith and his ex-wife, Sheree Zampino, a “non-sexual throuple.”
“[The reason polyamory is] not so foreign for me is that I’ve had a non-sexual throuple for years with Sheree,” said Pinkett Smith said. “When you have your husband that is taking care of another woman and spending time with another woman, it’s the same thing.”
Smith’s grandmother “Gammy” jumped into the conversation and noted her distaste of her granddaughter’s sexual desires.
“I would not be excited about that,” she said.
Smith would not hear it.
“Love is universal,” she said. “There’s so many different types of people in this world and so many people to learn from, and I don’t see the benefit in … not putting myself in a position to learn as much as I possibly can from as many people as I possibly can.”

Azealia Banks Booed Up For The Summer, Finally Found Love
Article via UrbanIslandz
Azealia Banks is booed for the summer, and I can’t get a text back.
The controversial rapper confirmed on IG on Thursday that she got a new man in her life and that she is happy to have found the love of her life finally. We’ve grown used to Azealia Banks getting into beef on social media with other rappers like Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and more. She even once got into it with Rihanna. Her feud never ends well. Today she stunned her fans when she posted a photo of herself and her boyfriend, Paul.
“I want to introduce the world to my boyfriend,” she wrote. This is the love of my life. I’m so happy I found you and can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together.”
Sounds like she plans on walking down the aisle sometime soon. Some fans think that this is a publicity stunt, while others believe that it’s a good thing and that is perhaps the reason why she hasn’t been lashing out on the Gram lately.
“Maybe this is what you needed this whole time sis so you can calm yo azz down lol, notice we haven’t seen any feud with you lately good d*** will do that,” one fan wrote.

Chick-fil-A worker leaps through drive-thru window to save choking boy
Article via Fox
One Chick-fil-A employee in Georgia said he’s feeling like a “hero” after hopping through a drive-thru window to save a young boy from choking.
On Wednesday, Logan Simmons was working the drive-thru of the chicken-centric chain’s Stonebridge Village location in Flowery Branch when he heard a woman in the drive-thru line scream that her son was being choked by the seat belt in her car, the WSB-TV reports.
Springing into action, the Hall County teenager leapt through the window and ran to the rescue.
With the 6-year-old’s seat belt tangled around his neck, Simmons recalled that the youngster was “turning red and losing pigmentation in his face,” prompting him to pull out a handy pocketknife and safely cut the boy free.
“I’m still kind of shocked right now myself that all this has happened,” Simmons later told WSB-TV.
Simmons’ incredible jump through the window was captured on surveillance camera, and has since been circulated online.
Soon after, the mother of the boy called the Chick-fil-A staffer to express her thanks for saving her son’s life.
“I do feel like a hero,” Simmons mused of the feat.
In similar headlines, last summer, a Texas Chick-fil-A worker was praised for saving a customer from choking on their food in the restaurant. Months before, a Colorado Chick-fil-A staffer was declared a hero for saving his choking co-worker with the Heimlich maneuver.

R. Kelly’s Daughter Jaah Kelly Fell Into A Dark Depression After Coming Out As Transgender At 14
Jaah Kelly, who now identifies as a lesbian at 18 years old, added that she was “scared.”
When Jaah Kelly, the daughter of disgraced singer R. Kelly and Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta star Drea Kelly, came out as a transgender male at age 14, it was traumatic.
Jaah, who now identifies as a lesbian at age 18, told Paper magazine in a recent lengthy interview that her stepping into her truth resulted in her falling into a deep depression, followed by a three-week psychiatric hospital stay.
“When I posted that video, I was so scared,” Jaah told the magazine. “When I was younger, I always felt like I had to make a choice. I knew that I was a girl who liked other girls. But because of what I was taught, I felt like the only way you could like another girl is if you were a boy.”
Four years later, Jaah explained in the magazine’s Pride issue why she now identifies as a lesbian along with nonbinary and gender fluid.
“I identify as a lesbian. I know I like girls, but that’s as far as I’ll go to label myself,” she detailed. “It’s up to you how you see me. Either way, I don’t care. I stand in my truth, and why does my truth need a label?”
Although she refused to talk about her father R. Kelly’s recent headlines, her mother Drea did reveal the musical similarities between the two. In high school, Jaah took to music, playing the trumpet, clarinet and eventually teaching herself how to play piano.
“One thing she gets from her father, true in her DNA, is her ability to create and produce by ear. She’s entirely self-taught,” Drea said about Jaah. “When she wanted to learn piano, she just came to me one day and told me she taught herself how on YouTube. The same goes for making beats. To have my JaahBaby doing what she does in a male-dominated industry makes her all the more extraordinary in my eyes.”
Jaah, who writes, produces, raps and sings her own music, said she creates music to inspire people to live full in their truths.
“I’d want people to know that you can do whatever you feel you want to because you have one life,” she added. “The reason I dress the way I dress is because I want to. The reason I do anything at all is because I want to. It just makes me happy. I feel like there are so many people who don’t do what they want to do in life.”
“Maybe people who feel like that can listen to my music and feel like they can do whatever the hell they want. Music doesn’t have one sound, one identity, and neither do people. Just let go of everything,” Jaah encouraged.

Mom who killed her 2 kids as part of ‘God’s plan’ gets 120 years
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A Connecticut woman convicted of killing her two children saying it was God’s plan was sentenced to 120 years in prison without the possibility of parole.
LeRoya Moore, 39, was sentenced Thursday, following her conviction in March of two counts of murder for killing her 6-year-old daughter, Aleisha, and her 7-year-old son, Daaron, at the family’s home in East Haven in 2015. For each count of murder, she received 60 years.
“It’s a no win today, the sentence reflects the seriousness of the crimes but the children are still gone,” New Haven State’s Attorney Patrick Griffin said.
Moore’s attorneys tried to use an insanity defense, saying she was in a psychotic state at the time but the three-judge panel rejected the defense in March.
Autopsies showed the children died from antihistamine intoxication, but a defense psychiatrist said Moore told him she drowned them while trying to “baptize them” after God told her she had to kill them. She also stayed in the house for three days with the bodies telling the police she “saved them.”
Griffin added the drug used was Benadryl, an over-the-counter medication.
A Yale psychiatry professor testified at trial that Moore suffered from schizoaffective disorder during the killings and still suffered from it.
Moore will serve the sentences consecutively at York Correctional Institution, where she is housed now in East Lyme.
Moore’s attorney was not immediately available for comment.

Woman visits Macy’s for makeup, leaves with permanent ‘X’ on face
An Ohio woman who dropped by Macy’s to get her makeup done wound up with a tattoo-like “X” on her cheek that won’t scrub off, she claims in a new lawsuit.
Judy Pleunik visited the department store in the Baybrook Mall in Houston, Texas for a beauty consultation in February 2018, ABC13 reported.
But she says she was left with a discolored mark that sits on the right side of her face just below her eye.
“My dermatologist tried to get it off and he could not get it off. He said if she used a magic marker, makeup or ink pen, he could get it off,” Pleunik told the station. “But it went right into my skin pigment, almost like a tattoo. And it’s been over a year and a half and it’s still there.”
Pleunik’s lawyer, Melissa Ephron, filed the suit Tuesday in hopes that Macy’s will be held accountable.
“This is a woman who went in to get her makeup done and she comes out with a brand,” Ephron said. “She’s terribly embarrassed by it. Her face may be scarred by it.”
The employee in question told ABC13 that she didn’t recall the “X” mark on Pleunik’s face — then referred questions to Macy’s.
“We are committed to ensuring that all our customers and colleagues are treated with respect and dignity,” the department store said in a statement. “As a company, we are unable to comment or provide any additional information on ongoing investigations.”

Florida Man Allegedly Drugged and Sexually Assaulted Teen, Posted Naked Video of Her on Instagram
Police in South Florida say an 18-year-old man drugged and sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl he met at a party and posted a naked video of her on Instagram.
Miramar police say Jorge Martinez gave the girl Percocet Monday and took her to a home where he was staying. An arrest report says that later that same evening, some of the girl’s friends saw images of her naked body on Instagram.
News outlets report the friends went to the home and found her unconscious. They drove her to a hospital and she was later flown in critical condition to a children’s hospital in Miami.
Martinez remains jailed, with a $550,000 bond. He’s charged with sexual battery on a minor.
A lawyer for Martinez isn’t listed on jail records.
