Article via: Karen King’s Son “Sas” Wanted By Atlanta Police
According to local Atlanta news, the rapper Sas who appeared on “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” with his mother Karen King is a WANTED man right now.
Police are looking question Lyndon Akhil Smith aka Sas, because they believe he’s a witness to a murder investigation where two people killed each other in a shoot out! According to reports, the deadly shooting happened Monday night on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Officers responded to a reported shooting and found a victim who had been shot in the head in a parking lot. That man was taken to Grady Hospital, where he later died.
Soon after that, other officers investigated a crash at a nearby ramp onto I-285. The driver of the vehicle involved in the wreck had also been shot. The driver died from his injuries. Police believe both of these deaths are connected to the parking lot where the first man was found.
Right now, there is a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest of a suspect in the shooting.
No word yet on if Sas plans to turn himself in. Yikes. Thoughts?
Exclusive: U.S. accuses China of ‘super aggressive’ spy campaign on LinkedIn
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States’ top spy catcher said Chinese espionage agencies are using fake LinkedIn accounts to try to recruit Americans with access to government and commercial secrets, and the company should shut them down.
William Evanina, the U.S. counter-intelligence chief, told Reuters in an interview that intelligence and law enforcement officials have told LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft Corp., about China’s “super aggressive” efforts on the site.
He said the Chinese campaign includes contacting thousands of LinkedIn members at a time, but he declined to say how many fake accounts U.S. intelligence had discovered, how many Americans may have been contacted and how much success China has had in the recruitment drive.
German and British authorities have previously warned their citizens that Beijing is using LinkedIn to try to recruit them as spies. But this is the first time a U.S. official has publicly discussed the challenge in the United States and indicated it is a bigger problem than previously known.
Evanina said LinkedIn should look at copying the response of Twitter, Google and Facebook, which have all purged fake accounts allegedly linked to Iranian and Russian intelligence agencies.
“I recently saw that Twitter is cancelling, I don’t know, millions of fake accounts, and our request would be maybe LinkedIn could go ahead and be part of that,” said Evanina, who heads the U.S. National Counter-Intelligence and Security Center.
It is highly unusual for a senior U.S. intelligence official to single out an American-owned company by name and publicly recommend it take action. LinkedIn says it has 575 million users in more than 200 counties and territories, including more than 150 million U.S. members.
Evanina did not, however, say whether he was frustrated by LinkedIn’s response or whether he believes it has done enough.

‘ER’ Actress Vanessa Marquez Shot and Killed by South Pasadena PD Officer
Marquez played Nurse Wendy Goldman on “ER” Marquez made headlines last year after accusing the show’s star George Clooney of having her blacklisted after she reported suffering sexual and racial harassment on the set of the NBC medical drama.
“I had no idea Vanessa was blacklisted,” Clooney said in a statement to TheWrap back in October. “I take her at her word. I was not a writer or a producer or a director on that show. I had nothing to do with casting. I was an actor and only an actor.”
Clooney, who starred as Doug Ross on the series for five seasons, denied having any influence on casting the show or on Marquez’s career. “If she was told I was involved in any decision about her career then she was lied to,” he said. “The fact that I couldn’t affect her career is only surpassed by the fact that I wouldn’t.”

Marquez accused the cast and producers of “ER” of conspiring to have her blacklisted after she reported being sexually harassed and being discriminated against on the basis of race.
“B.S.” she tweeted when Clooney condemned former pal Harvey Weinstein after the movie producer was accused of sexual assault and harassment by multiple women. “Clooney helped blacklist me when I spoke up [about] harassment on ER ‘Women who don’t play the game lose career’ I did.”
Marquez, who played Nurse Wendy Goldman in 27 episodes of “ER,” accused Eriq La Salle and a camera operator of being “p— grabbers,” which she said she reported to showrunner John Wells and to the show’s production company, Warner Bros.

‘The Four’ Season 2: Sharaya J, All Performances
I enjoyed watching The Four, a tv show where contestants sing to compete for a chance to be one of the four finalists that will receive P. Diddy, Meghan Trainor, and DJ Khalid’s help to become a best-selling artist.
These shows favor singing artists, but a few rappers made it, Sharay J being my favorite. She performed on the show with cancer and slayed every single performance. Watch all of her performances below, especially the first song, a Plain Jane cover:
Kim Kardashian “Mom-Shamed” For Putting North West In A Two Piece Swim Suit
Kim Kardashian is taking some heat over her latest family photo — and it’s all because of her daughter’s swimsuit.
Fresh off a trip to Miami, the reality star posted an Instagram photo Wednesday that shows 5-year-old North West soaking up the South Beach lifestyle on a yacht. The little girl — the eldest of Kardashian’s three children with husband Kanye West — happens to be wearing a neon-yellow bikini top in the snapshot.
The fluorescent look may be a nod to North’s influence in prompting her father to release glow-in-the-dark 350s, but some of Kardashian’s followers found the swimsuit “inappropriate” for a 5-year-old.
Mommy shamers soon flooded the KKW Beauty mogul’s comments, chiding her for putting North in a bikini.
“That swimsuit is a bit inappropriate for a little girl in my opinion!” complained one commenter.
“Why is your child showing that much skin?” read another comment. “I get that [it’s] a swimsuit but c’mon.”
“Aren’t kids that age supposed to wear one-pieces,” someone else remarked. “Just in terms of not letting your child be too grown. Like not letting them wear lipstick at that age either. It’s cute when they’re a baby but get a kid a one-piece. … It’s not Kim’s fault. She just doesn’t know.”
Some even accused Kardashian of sexualizing her child and subjecting her to online ogling by sharing the photo on social media.
“She can wear what she wants but posting this could maybe give wrong signals,” read one negative comment.
But Kardashian’s fans were quick to defend her, telling critics to stop judging her parenting. Many also said that mommy shamers were the ones sexualizing North.
“All those mom shamers always ready to attack,” a fan wrote. “Kim is with her daughter in a safe environment. I guess her kid is the only kid to ever wear a two-piece? Let the mom parent her kids and stop shaming moms.”
The criticism comes just months after Kardashian was slammed by some for letting North straighten her hair for her fifth birthday in June.

Evans student stunned after receiving $100K for college tuition from Beyonce, Jay-Z
Keshawn Morgan, a senior at Evans High School, had never been to a concert before. So he was thrilled on Wednesday when his local Boys & Girls Club — where he’d been going since second grade — invited him to the Beyoncé and Jay-Z show that night.
When club leaders told him and the other teenagers who had been invited that they had V.I.P. seating, he was even more excited.
But when DJ Khaled, who opened the show at Camping World Stadium, told the audience he had a surprise $100,000 college scholarship to announce, the 17-year-old didn’t think much about it at all.
Until the performer began to describe the winner, saying he was ranked third in his class and was president of the Spanish honor society, and then a puzzled Keshawn thought, “What? That’s me.”
A video of the event shows his mouth drop and his hands briefly cover his face as he realizes he’s the winner, and then his name is announced. He and his friends erupt in cheers, as they jump up and down and hug him.
“Oh my gosh,” a stunned Keshawn said in the video posted on Facebook by the Boys & Girls Cubs of America. “I can’t believe this. I want to be a lawyer. I can’t believe I won this.”
In a phone interview Thursday, he still sounded stunned..
“I really couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I couldn’t even like put it in words,” he added. “It was crazy.”

Let’s Talk About Lauryn Hill’s Essay
Ms. Lauryn Hill decided to share some thoughts on all of the talk surrounding her late shows and many of the very pointed and incendiary comments and opinions shared by Robert Glasper earlier this month.
Like most folks, I’m a fan of ’90s Lauryn, or Ms. Hill as she prefers to be called (more on this later). But she lost me almost two decades ago for various reasons, though I will always appreciate what she brought to the table while always thinking about the big question of what I think she could have brought to the table.
Let’s break down some of this tome. I will skip a lot and only focus on the things that stand out to me because this joint is a legit 3,000 words and while I read the whole thing (and you probably did too), there’s no need for me to address everything she addressed by literally restating it all. This would end up being 5,000 words and ain’t nobody got time for that.
The Miseducation was the first time I worked with musicians outside of the Fugees who’s report and working relationship was clear. In an effort to create the same level of comfort, I may not have established the necessary boundaries and may have been more inviting than I should have been. In hindsight, I would have handled it differently for the removal of any confusion. And I have handled it differently since, I’m clear and I make clear before someone walks in the door what I am and am not looking for. I may have been inclusive, but these are my songs.
Misspelling “rapport” aside (which I only bring up because I saw others do it; I know what she meant so the communication was effective), I think she’s speaking to something very important here. She tried to create an environment like she’d been in prior and it ended up proving chaotic at times, according to various reports. Being the boss is different than being a worker in a situation. I’d chalk this up to a life lesson we could all heed. This foreshadows the “call me Ms. Hill” thing so many folks had an issue with. For the record, I do not have a problem with it.
-I have come across the occasional musician who thinks they already know what I want, feelings and egos can be easily bruised when you tell them they actually don’t. I am never trying to intentionally hurt anyone’s feelings btw, but when people insist that they know you and don’t, you may have to be equally as firm to demonstrate otherwise.
All artists are sensitive about their shit, her included. But she’s absolutely right about one thing (something we’ll get to later), if it’s her vision and her work, then its her law.

#ThrowbackThursday: JLo and Ja Rule
I vaguely remember growing up and hearing “Cuz I’m real, and I…”. About two years ago, a few celebrities started crying #AllLivesMatter, among them being Jennifer Lopez. After Ti did a video discussing this two years ago, she reminded me the song is called “I’m Real”.
After one of those stale award shows aired and JLo and Ja Rule performed their song I’m Real, I have been bumping it non-stop. And I soon after discovered Ain’t It Funny.
Lovelytea Review: Matcha Raspberry Tea
Matcha tea made its way to U.S. hip coffee shops all the way from Japan. It comes in the form of a green powder, that is actually ground green tea leaves.
Most people enjoy matcha in the form of a dairy drink (watch how Lovelyti makes a mixed fruit matcha smoothie recipe).
Personally, I try not to consume dairy. Instead, I do my best to consume 2 liters of water a day. I put about a teaspoon of matcha in my water every day. The natural raspberry flavor makes me eager to drink more water through out the week. While I prefer to enjoy my matcha in the form of flavored water, traditionally, many prefer hot matcha tea.
My 50g of the raspberry matcha lasted 3 weeks when I used half a teaspoon per 1.5 liters of water every morning, and sometimes another half a teaspoon per 1.5 liters of water in the afternoon. Besides the sweet, delicate flavor matcha can be a great morning drink, as it has a third the caffeine as a cup of coffee.
All in all, if you are not familiar with matcha I definitely recommend trying this smooth blend. If you are not new to matcha then check out premium choice matcha.

John Goodman reveals Roseanne will be killed off in ‘The Conners’ spinoff
Dan Conner had a heart attack in the second-to-last-season cliffhanger of “Roseanne.” He survived. Until he didn’t.
John Goodman’s character, it was revealed by Roseanne in the last season’s closing minutes in 1997, had really died at his daughter’s wedding. The audience spent 24 episodes believing he pulled through. Roseanne’s narration explained she constructed a fantasy to cope.
It was one of the most divisive moments in recent television history when the show ended, but in this year’s short-lived revival, Dan was very much alive after the show opened with a self-aware joke about the controversy.
Now, following Roseanne Barr’s racist Twitter rant in May that prompted ABC to cancel the revival mid-season and spin off the series in “The Conners,” Goodman has said how the show will address the matriarch’s absence.
She’s dead, Goodman explained.
And this death might finally stick.
“I guess he’ll be mopey and sad because his wife’s dead,” Goodman said of his blue-collar-hero character Dan in an interview with the Sunday Times.
The often media-shy Goodman opened up about Barr’s controversial departure that drew reactions from President Trump, whom Barr supports.
In May, she made references to President Barack Obama’s former adviser Valerie Jarrett and apes. Jarrett is black. The tweet in late May read: “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.”

ABC canceled her show a day later, and President Channing Dungey called her tweet “abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values.” Trump appeared to reference the cancellation days later, calling it a “double standard” for conservatives after comedian Samantha Bee made a vulgar comment about his daughter, Ivanka.
