There’s A Petition For LeVar
Holly Robinson Peete: Donald Trump Called Me The N-Word
Burton To Become The New
Host Of ‘Jeopardy’
Holly Robinson Peete, a former contestant on Celebrity Apprentice, claims that the most divisive, racist, xenopho- bic and misogynistic president in most recent history called her the N-word over a decade ago.
During an interview on Sir- iusXM Urban View’s The Karen Hunter Show, the 21 Jump Street star talked about her “unique” experience com- peting against such huge stars as disgraced politician Rod Blagojevich and, umm, famed New York Mets star Darryl Strawberry.
“He hadn’t really quite started that whole birther
on season 9 of Trump’s show in 2010, noted, adding that had Trump claimed that for- mer President Obama was- n’t born in America, she would’ve never appeared on the show, Yahoo Entertain- ment reports.
“It was a very interesting ex- perience,” Peete added. “It was a trip and kind of messy and stuff. I found him to be kind of piggish and bullish and stuff, but I didn’t find him to be just this...who he is now. I did not see that. So, I think the combination of power and cor- ruption and all that stuff just made him go to that next level.”
While fans are still mourning the death of Jeopardy host Alex Trebek, the Canadian broad- caster’s passing leaves an open- ing at the game show and the internet has been leaning to- wards LeVar Burton as a pos- sible replacement. Not that Trebek can ever truly be re- placed, but an online petition has been launched in hopes of Burton taking over the job.
The one time Reading Rain- bow host tweeted the petition on Thursday (Nov. 12). “Even if
LEVAR BURTON
nothing comes from it, I can’t tell how much I appreciate all y’alls love and support!”
Bobby Brown Jr., Son Of Singer Bobby Brown, Dies At 28
HOLLY ROBINSON PEETE thing yet,” Peete, who starred
Bobby Brown has lost an- other child ... his son, Bobby Brown Jr., has died.
A source close to the family said Bobby Jr. was found dead Wednesday in his home in the L.A. area. Police are still at the house, and our sources tell us, at this point, they do not believe there was foul play involved.
It's another horrific tragedy for the singer and his family to endure. Bobby Jr.'s half-sister, Bobbi Kristina, died when she was just 22 years old after she was found lifeless in the bathtub of her Georgia home.
She was on life support for several months before she passed in July 2015. The coroner determined Bobbi Kristina's cause of death was drowning in the tub while she had toxic lev- els of cocaine and alcohol in her system.
Jr. is one of Bobby's seven children. He was 13 when he, along with Bobbi Kristina, ap- peared on the family's short- lived Bravo reality show, "Being
BOBBY BROWN, JR.
Bobby Brown."
His mother is Kim Ward, who Bobby dated off and on for 11 years before he got engaged to Whitney.
Brown Jr. was "not feeling well a couple days before his death" and had experienced flu- like symptoms, according to a statement from Bobby Brown's attorney.
"Please keep my family in your prayers at this time," Brown said in a statement. "Losing my son at this point in our lives has devastated my fam- ily. There are no words to ex- plain the pain."
Kodak Black’s Prison Release Reportedly Been Pushed Back
Kodak Black is now set to get out on November 3, 2022, instead of in August.
Hypebeast reports that DJ Akademiks made the an- nouncement on Twitter without giving an explanation for why the rapper’s release date was being delayed.
Last November, Kodak Black received a 46-month prison sentence after, according to U. S. District Court Judge Federico Moreno, the rapper lied about his past criminal records in attempts to buy six different handguns at Lou’s Po- lice and Security Equipment in Hialeah, FL.
“I’m sorry for the actions that
KODAK BLACK
led me to where I’m standing,” said Kodak to the courtroom at the trail before receiving his sen- tence from the judge. “I do take full responsibility for my mishap.”
