Actor John Wesley Passes Away At Age 72

John Wesley, Vietnam War vet and actor on 90s sitcoms such as Fresh Prince and Martin, has passed away at age 70 according to the NYDailyNews.

Wesley, a Louisiana native, reportedly died in Los Angeles after an extended bout with multiple myeloma as confirmed by his manager Gerry Pass.

Wesley studied classical acting and earned a master degree in fine arts from the University of California in San Diego, he told Ron Brewington on “The Actor’s Choice.”

He served in the army during the Vietnam War and garned his first credited role playing a cop in a 1963 episode of “My Three Sons.”

The classically trained actor (master degree in fine arts from the University of California San Diego) played a character named “Dr. Hoover” in a hilariously CLASSIC episode of Fresh Prince that you can watch below.

Wesley told Ron Brewington, host of “The Actor’s Choice”, that comedy had always been a tool he used to break down the barriers that he felt white powerbrokers put up against Black actors.

“That’s been my tactic over the years,” he said. “This is a really tricky place where we’re at now. Because the guys who are the guys who guard the door are still mostly white males with power. And you’ve got to get on their good side to get these jobs.”

It wasn’t just white folks who found Wesley entertaining, we did too and we are appreciative of the talent that he shared with us.

Rest in peace, John Wesley.

“Real Housewives Of Potomac” Season 4 Reunion Trailer

There’s BIG drama afoot during the “Real Housewives of Potomac” Season 4 reunion. The ladies; Robyn Dixon, Monique Samuels, Karen Huger, Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Boalch Darby, and Candiace Dillard are sitting down with Andy Cohen to hash out their issues after what’s been called their “breakout season.”

During the reunion, the hot topic is (of course) Ashley’s hubby Michael Darby who was criminally charged with sexual assault for allegedly grabbing the butt of a crew member named Orville Palmer but was CLEARED of the charges due to insufficient evidence.

Ashley’s castmates clearly aren’t buying that Michael’s innocent and even their husbands are joining in to express their doubts. Karen Huger’s hubby Ray says flat out that he thinks Michael’s guilty. Not only that, the ladies once again bring up Michael allegedly saying that he’d “suck the d***” of one of their husbands and former friends Monique and Candiace clash.

Mind you, noticeable standout/Ashley Darby clasher Katie Rost was NOT invited to the reunion and she and fans were pretty upset about it. She even called Ashley’s hubby Michael a “cheater molester.”

This. Too. Much.

Khloe Kardashian Wants Jordyn And Tristan To Move On And Be Successful

Are y’all still paying attention to the drama between Khloe Kardashian, baby daddy Tristan Thompson and Jordyn Woods?

Khloe recently linked up with Ryan Seacrest Friday September 6 for an interview on his “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” show and discussed the situation, which she says she’s now moved on from:

“I’m not someone who holds a grudge. If I do that, it’s only going to affect me,” she explained. “That chapter is closed for me. I want all of us to move on and to be happy, successful people. I just want everyone to just be better people with each day. That’s genuinely how I feel.”

Watch the video for more:

What do you think about Khloé’s apologies comment:

“I know everybody makes mistakes. I think it’s how you handle it, and I think apologies need to be as loud as your disrespect was or to me, it’s not sincere. I’m forgiving. I’m forgiven.”

Seems like all really isn’t forgiven if she doesn’t feel Tristan or Jordyn have apologized loudly enough.

One thing that can be said about Khloé is that at least her focus is in the right place — her daughter True. She also spoke with Ryan Seacrest about her decision to have Tristan at True’s first birthday party.

“True’s birthday was just a couple weeks after all of that stuff happened, so everything was really raw and fresh,” she said in the interview. “You’re going to see that in the first episode, really how we even came to the point where I even invited Tristan to her first birthday.”

“I always wanted that to be obviously a Mommy and Daddy thing,” she said. “In my family, it is everyone who is going through this breakup. So I knew in my family it was going to be a lot of high tension, but I still wanted to do what was best for True.”

She’s right — True shouldn’t have to suffer just because her dad is a ho cheater.

Fetty Wap Hints That Alexis Skyy’s Daughter Isn’t Biologically His

There’s some pettiness going on between Fetty Wap and Alexis Skyy for the 1738th time. As previously reported rumors swirled that Fetty’s ex-girlfriend Alexis Skyy “lied” about the paternity of her child and her daughter was actually the offspring of her “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood” costar Solo Lucci, who fueled the rumors himself.

Alexis was “humiliated” by the rumor and put an end to it by showing the results of a negative paternity test.

She captioned the now-deleted post;

“I have been humiliated, I have been disrespected, i have been harassed non f—ing stop about not knowing who my child’s father all because of Michael Dorsey AKA Solo Lucci continuing to spread this lie. I have been bullied nonstop, but TODAY this s— ENDS.”
“I have never not known who my child’s father is,” Skyy added. “Ive been thru so much s— because of this. I have been called every disgraceful, disrespectful, hurtful word in the book. & It’s a shame that I had to go out of my way JUST to prove this to society what I BEEN telling everyone.”

Now however there’s more paternity drama afoot and Fetty Wap is at the center of it. Fetty was on Instagram Live this weekend and hinted that Alexis’ daughter Alaiya “Lai Lai” Grace is NOT biologically his. After speaking on being there for Lai Lai’s birth and adding that he’ll always love her, Fetty told fans that he doesn’t feel a “biological” obligation to her.

I’mma always love Lai Lai, I was there when she was born, I was there for her doctor’s appointments, me and her mother fell out but that ain’t got nothing to do with the baby,” said Wap.
“When I feel like I want to be there, I’m going to be there. I’m gonna help. But as far as me going above my boundaries – nah. If it was biological with me, then it would be different.”

WHERE IS MAURY?!

Alexis has replied to Fetty Wap’s petty Instagram Live, hit the flip.

Alexis told fans that she’s not addressing Fetty Wap out of “respect for her new relationship.” She’s currently dating rapper Trouble.

“Out of respect for my new relationship I’m not going back and forth with anything from the past…be blessed,” wrote Alexis on her InstaStory.

Fall River Mayor Again Says Hes Innocent, Calls Investigation Politically Motivated

Jasiel Correia II Arrested On Federal Extortion Charges

Seems like the mayor of Fall River, Massachusetts thought life was a drama series and he could get away with extorting desperate weed vendors in the area, but instead, he’s been popped on extortion charges.

According to USA Today, Jasiel Correia II, 27, was arrested Friday on federal extortion charges for allegedly operating a scheme to help marijuana vendors get approval to operate in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes. Allegedly Correia agreed to sign non-opposition letters in return for significant six-figure payments from four marijuana vendors looking to open businesses in the city.

The mayor also is accused of extorting $3,900 in cash and a “Batman” Rolex watch from a property owner in exchange for activating the water supply to his building. Federal prosecutors also Correia demanded his chief of staff give him half of her $78,700 salary in return for appointing her and allowing her to keep her city job.

Four others, including the former chief of staff, Genoveva Andrade, also were charged with federal crimes.

Correia appeared in Boston federal court Friday afternoon and pleaded not guilty.

“I’m not guilty of these charges. I’ve done nothing but good for the great city of Fall River, me and my staff, and my team. I’m going to continue to do great things for our citizens,” he told reporters afterward, standing next to his attorney outside the courthouse.

Daycare Worker Arrested For Suffocating 4-Month-Old Baby

Tragedy has struck a family in Delaware after a daycare worker was seen allegedly suffocating a child to death on video. 19-year-old Dejoynay Ferguson “placed her hands over the victim’s mouth and nose and intentionally restricted her breathing until she became unresponsive,” Delaware State Police said in a statement Friday.

According to Delaware Online, the death occurred at about 10:30 a.m. Thursday morning and there is a surveillance video of the incident.

While wearing latex gloves, Ferguson picks up the 4-month-old child by the front of her shirt and place the baby on a changing table, according to court documents. The young woman could then be seen putting her hands on the child’s face for more than three minutes. After she removed her hands, the child was “unresponsive and motionless”. She then took the child and placed her in a crib, police said.

20 minutes after the child became unresponsive, a call to police was made by the daycare owner. Initially, the worker told police that she only “grabbed” the child because they became “fussy”.

Dejoynay Ferguson was charged with first-degree murder this week.

Antonio Brown Asked To Be Released From Raiders On Instagram

**UPDATE**

Welp, it’s over.

Just when you thought it was safe

Antonio Brown has completely upended the Oakland Raiders and the drama has unfolded in the most unprecedented way ever. Yesterday it was reported that “AB” had apologized to his teammates and staff and it appeared that he would suit up to play on Monday night.

Then, inexplicably, Brown posted a video with audio from a private conversation he had with head coach Jon Gruden about his blow-up with general manager Mike Mayock.

The Raiders didn’t take kindly to the video and, well…

Just hours ago Antonio Brown posted this to his Instagram page.

This is an absolute s#!t show and all parties involved have contributed to the scorched earth that they now walk.

Funny reactions on the following pages.

Just as makeup does for some women — beards have the ability to transform men into totally different people. Most women feel that the thicker and more groomed the facial hair, the more attractive and manly you are. However, there are some who feel that a clean face is the way to go.  At the end of the day, facial hair is a subjective thing, but are men with beards more desirable?

According to the New York Times:

Barnaby Dixson, a human behavioral ecologist at the University of Queensland and a co-author of the beard length study, research has also found that facial hair is associated with some antisocial traits, such as aggression and social dominance. While these traits might not be pleasant if you’re looking for a fun fling, they might be alluring if you want an alpha male to support your family and fend off predators. It’s not just women who prefer bearded alpha males — men also prefer men with facial hair. Dr. Dixson and colleagues asked 1,577 men and women from Brazil and the Czech Republic about facial hair. Compared to heterosexual women, gay men had stronger preferences for men with more facial hair.

Usually, we honor the beard-toters during No Shave November. But today is National No Beard Day, and guys often celebrate by shaving their beloved beard and starting from scratch.That made us think of some of our favorite beards in Hollywood and if we prefer the men with or without the facial hair?
