Viral Father And Son Star In Denny’s Commercial

By this time many of you, millions of you perhaps, have seen the following video of a father and his unintelligible baby boy having a full-blown conversation.

The viral moment has led to Detzin and Kingston Pryor becoming the stars of their very own Denny’s commercial.

Denny’s hasn’t always had the best reputation when it comes to their treatment of Black folks, but good on them for showcasing positive images of Black fatherhood.

Lady Gaga Rumored To Join Bradley Cooper In Guardians Of The Galaxy 3

Fresh out a divorce announcement frying pan, and into the rumor mill fire for Bradley Cooper.

Word on the internet is that Bradley’s fan-speculated secret lover, Lady Gaga, will be joining him in a very intimate way in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Watch this space. We’ve seen lust in Gaga’s eyes over the past year as she and Bradley won award after award for their roles in A Star Is Born. We wouldn’t be surprised at all if they have a furry bae-ship in the MCU.

Also, all of this could be B.S. fan-fiction internet rumors. Guess we’ll all have to stay tuned to find out.

Los Angeles Premiere of the new HBO Series EUPHORIA

I have to admit I was skeptical about Zendaya playing a drug-addicted teenager in HBO’s latest series Euphoria, but one episode in and she’s already got me hooked. No pun intended.

We’re used to seeing Zendaya play safer roles (like Michelle in the Spider-Man film series) and even when I think back to the actress’ slight badassery on The OA, it didn’t exactly set the precedent for a role as difficult and complex as Euphoria’s Rue Bennett.

The show is so deep, in fact, Zendaya issued a warning to anyone who might be thinking about tuning in.

“It’s a raw and honest portrayal of addiction, anxiety, and the difficulties of navigating life today. There are scenes that are graphic, hard to watch and can be triggering. Please only watch if you feel you can handle it. Do what’s best for you. I will still love you and feel your support,” Zendaya told her Instagram followers.

I second that motion.

Like Zen said, Euphoria kicks off as a completely unfiltered look at how young people are navigating life while dealing with the stress of mental illness, technology, addiction, and sexuality. If you can’t handle an authentic take on what life is really like for young people today, we suggest you put this one on your ‘To Watch’ list until you feel you can.

From where I’m watching, however, this is definitely the young superstar’s most impactful on-screen moment yet.

Tune in every Sunday at 10 p.m. on HBO and let us know your thoughts.

Football Player “He Hate Me” Missing

Some of you may remember the electrifying football player known by many as “He Hate Me”. Rod Smart spend years in the both the NFL and XFL running by defenders and juking them out of their cleats.

Sadly, the NYPost is reporting that Smart is currently missing. He was last seen last Wednesday in Indian Land, South Carolina.

“It is unusual for him to be out of touch for this long,” deputies wrote in a missing person advisory. “Mr. Smart’s family is worried about his safety and well-being.”

We’re actually very shocked to hear this and we hope that nothing terrible has happened to Rod.

If you or anyone you know has information about his whereabouts please contact Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office at (803) 283-3388.

ABOUT THE SERIES

Robin Givens is the sophisticated ‘Stephanie Lancaster. Hailing from a long line of distinguished attorneys, Stephanie desperately wants to be in charge of her family’s prestigious law firm and will stop at nothing to get it. Brian White is ‘Evan Lancaster,’ the Mayor of Atlanta, who is married to attorney Stephanie Carlisle (Robin Givens). Evan’s dream is to be the first African-American governor of Georgia and there’s no line he won’t cross to get there. Kendrick Cross stars as ‘Titus Hughes,’ a passionate attorney and dedicated husband to Amara (Essence Atkins). Titus has accepted the challenge of being in-house counsel for a big pharma company run by Hunter Purifoy (Brian Bosworth) to fight a class action suit brought by the powerful Carlisle family. Brely Evans stars as ‘Rondell Lancaster,’ the sister of Atlanta Mayor Evan Lancaster and manager of the Thelma’s Place restaurant.

Erica Page plays the role of ‘Bella (Tru) Trujillo,’ Atlanta’s newest and trendiest fashion designer. She’s the exclusive dress designer for First Lady Stephanie Lancaster, but has set her sights much higher.

Doctors Find Foot-Long Worm In Woman’s Intestines

If the terrifying tales of folks getting poisoned in the DR and Mexico don’t frighten you enough to watch what you eat and drink, maybe this 41-year old woman’s 10-year long stomach ache will remind you to be more cautious. Ms. Yang has reportedly been suffering from severe stomach pains since 2009, but doctors could never figure out why. She sought the help of numerous physicians over the years, but to no avail.

Yang told reporters:

“It would hurt on and off at first. It’s not always unbearable, but I would feel obvious discomfort in my stomach.”

After meeting China-based Doctor Li Juan, who advised her to have an endoscopy, they found the shocking culprit to Yang’s excruciating stomach pains.

Mirror.co reports:

“Experts at the Second People’s Hospital of Haining in east China discovered the giant roundworm on Friday.The fat white worm, measuring 12 inches in length, was writhing inside the woman’s intestines, which appeared to have the “ideal conditions” to sustain its growth, the medic said. Doctor Li grasped the parasite’s big head with a pair of raptor forceps and yanked the entire length of the roundworm out via the endoscopy incision.”

But how did she wound up with a worm inside of her in the first place? Ms Yang revealed she grew up drinking unboiled water, which is thought to be a contributing factor to her Ascariasis. See the shocking video above.
