Teen Allegedly Kidnapped By Former Teacher Speaks Out

Elizabeth Thomas, a teenager from Tennesse who was allegedly kidnapped by her former teacher, said she doesn’t regret leaving town with him in her first interview since being rescued. She told the Columbia Daily Herald“I don’t regret it, nor do I say it was the right thing to do. It was an experience I’ll have to live with the rest of my life. It’s good and bad. It’s there. No matter what we do, we’ll have to deal with it.” She was found over 5 months ago.

On March 13, Thomas went missing with Tad Cummins, a then 50, a married father and grandfather. An Amber Alert was issued and police across the country searched, it took over a month before finding the two thousands of miles away in California.

Cummins was fired from his teaching job one day after the alleged kidnapping, and is said to have researched teen marriage online, along with the age of consent, according to law enforcement officials. According to a school district investigative report, one of Elizabeth’s classmates reported seeing Cummins kiss Thomas in his classroom a few months prior, but both denied the claim. A school report from January said that neither one “admitted to behaving inappropriately towards the other.”

Elizabeth was found “healthy and unharmed” on April 20 in a cabin in Northern California.

Media legend Hugh Hefner has passed away. He was 91 years old.

The iconic founder of Playboy magazine reportedly died of natural causes at his equally iconic home, the Playboy Mansion, on Wednesday.

The news was confirmed by Playboy Enterprises, according to CNBC.

Hugh’s own burial plot is located right next to Marilyn’s as well.

Young Thug Racks Up Even More Felony Charges While Behind Bars In Atlanta

Young Thug just can’t seem to catch a break with the APD.

Just one day after getting picked up by cops in the Brookhaven area of Atlanta and charged with marijuana possession and a misdemeanor window tint violation, Young Thug is staring down even more felony charges from the confines of his jail cell.

Apparently, when cops pulled him over on Sunday night, they searched his car due to the “strong smell” of mary jane coming from the inside, according to TMZ. Upon searching the vehicle, they came up with the marijuana in question, liquid codeine, and other narcotics, 2 guns, and nearly $50,000 in cash.

So now, on top of the weed and tint, he’s looking at felony charges for the guns, and the lean.

Whew…we hope Thug has a good lawyer.

Hot Memphis Beef: A (Very Extensive) History Of The Nearly-Fatal Feud Between Young Dolph And Yo Gotti

The Long History Of Young Dolph And Yo Gotti’s Relationship

Yo Gotti has inarguably received more mainstream success in the past couple of years than any other artist from Memphis. Especially with his most recent single, “Rake It Up” with Nicki Minaj peaking at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, Yo Gotti is hotter than he’s ever been. Young Dolph is another rapper from Memphis, and though he may not be a household name, he’s undoubtedly some serious competition for Gotti as the king of Memphis. He’s a self-made millionaire who often boasts about his refusal to sign to anyone, and the musical accomplishments he’s made without a label is indeed impressive.

On Tuesday, Young Dolph was shot multiple times on the corner of Hollywood and Highland in Los Angeles, California. Though Yo Gotti was initially taken in as a person of interest–and it has been said that the shooting happened as a result of the two artists staying in the same hotel and getting into an argument–Corey McClendon, one of Gotti’s supposed associates, ended up actually being arrested.

If you’re new to the Dolph/Gotti beef, or even if you’re fans of both and just aren’t sure where exactly their feud began, here’s an extensive timeline of the tumultuous relationship between the Memphis rappers:

Roc Nation Auctioning Made In America Memorabilia For Hurricane Relief

In an effort to help those affected by this year’s hurricanes, Roc Nation will host an auction with memorabilia from this year’s Made In America Festival. Items will be signed by artists from the label like Jay Z, J.Cole, and Pusha T.⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The pieces up for auction include a  jacket with handwritten signatures from the likes of Jay Z, Migos, J. Cole, and Pusha T. The jacket is reportedly worth $3,000, but could obviously go for a lot more. Other jackets to be auctioned off include the Liberty, Freedom, and Tidal jackets with signatures from Cardi B, Vic Mensa, 21 Savage and more–so it looks like the signatures aren’t just limited to those on Roc Nation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In addition to the auction, Tidal and Vic Mensa recently partnered with Music Cares to host a pop-up show in Los Angeles to gain supplies and donations for hurricane victims. Each concert-goer is required to bring toiletries or school supplies to gain entry and all concert proceeds will be donated to the various regions affected.

Lishan Wang Sentenced To 32 Years For Murdering Dr. Vajindeer Toor

A Georgia man’s long, drawn-out murder trial is finally over. Lishan Wang, 51, of Marietta, GA was sentenced to 32 years in prison for murdering a Yale University doctor he claims had him unfairly fired years earlier.

According to WSB-TV after nearly a decade, Wang was finally handed down his punishment.

Wang, 51, gunned down Dr. Vajindeer Toor and shot at his pregnant wife outside their home in a New Haven suburb in 2010. The wife, Parneeta Sidhu, was unharmed.

Prosecutors report that an irate Wang drove 1,000 miles to kills Toor for “unfairly firing him” and “ruining his medical career.”

Wang had been facing murder charges but received lesser charges of manslaughter, attempted assault and other gun crimes.

Uninvited To The BBQ? Justin Timberlake Is Reportedly Set To Perform At This Year’s Super Bowl

Justin Timberlake To Perform At Half Time Show

After his former collaborator and friend Jay-Z turned down the opportunity to perform at the Half Time show, the word on the street is that Justin Timberlake will be the one to make an appearance for this year’s Super Bowl.

This is semi-controversial for a couple reasons, the first being the fact that us woke folk are boycotting the NFL (though, now the super conservatives are reportedly boycotting too, since some of the players kneeled in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick and to protest Donald Trump’s derogatory comments). Either way, a lot of people who usually do watch football, aren’t. For someone like Justin Timberlake, who has before been criticized for capitalizing off Black music without contributing to the cause, this could be a bad look.

Another reason this comes as a sort of surprise–beside the fact that Justin Timberlake doesn’t have any new music out or a new Music Producer Agreement–is due to his last appearance at the Super Bowl. JT’s 2004 performance with Janet Jackson obviously caused a stir when he pulled off part of her costume and revealed her pierced nipple–the Federal Communications Commission even cracked down on new policies and a five-second broadcast delay during live performances was implemented because of it.

Who knows what will happen with the NFL by the time the Super Bowl rolls around–will y’all be watching?

Pitbull Does His Part In Helping Puerto Rico

Unlike the president, who doesn’t seem to know Puerto Rico is apart of America, celebrities are definitely stepping up to do their part in aiding Puerto Rico after their devastation from Hurricane Maria. Jennifer Lopez announced she was donating $1 million and others have generously followed suit.

Now, Pitbull is doing something amazing for the people of Puerto Rico, specifically those who probably need it the most. Puerto Rican Congresswoman Jenniffer González tweeted out thanking Pitbull for lending his plane so that cancer patients in PR can be transported to the United States in order to get the chemotherapy they need.

Pitbull told E! News, “Thank God we’re blessed to help. Just doing my part.” With all of the infrastructure problems hurting Puerto Rico right now, it’s sometimes hard to know how best to help…but Pitbull definitely stepped up and is giving these cancer patients the opportunity to receive the treatment they deserve despite a natural disaster.
