Is The Feud Over Between Lil Wayne And Birdman?
Tamar Braxton Hospitalized With ‘Several’ Blood Clots in Both Lungs
For the second time this sea- son Dancing With The Stars has lost a contestant due to health problems. First it was Kim Zolciak- Biermann,who bowed out due to a mini-stroke, and now Tamar Braxton is doing the same—on account of another emergency health issue.
Braxton took to Instagram Wednesday morning to share a sad-faced hospital photo of herself alongside her DWTS partner Val Chmerkovskiy, announcing her decision to withdraw from the ABC com- petition series.
“As you all know I will be the

first to always encourage any- one to push through any obsta-
cle that comes along one’s way. But in this case, my health is my current obstacle. And in TRUE #tamartian form I must go about this the exact same way as I would anything else,” she wrote in the photo’s cap- tion.
The R&B singer was rushed to the hospital during a dress rehearsal for Monday’s episode with what was believed to be pneumonia and exhaustion. But Braxton revealed in her post that the source of her symptoms was actually a col- lection of “several” blood clots, also known as pulmonary em- bolisms, in both of her lungs.

MILLSTONE — A 23-year- old Englishtown man has been arrested in connection with a double stabbing that occurred early Saturday morning at the home of rapper RZA, New Jer- sey State Police announced Monday.

not home at the time of the in- cident. Diggs, commonly known as RZA, is a founder of
the Staten Island-based rap group Wu-Tang Clan. The group was in Austin, Texas, playing the Fun Fun Fun festi- val.
When authorities arrived at the home, they found two men stabbed, police said.
The two men suffered non- life threatening stab wounds and were flown to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune.
Detectives were able to iden- tify Norman as the suspect and Manalapan Township po- lice arrested him later that day for unrelated warrants, police said.
There has been a long drawn out feud between Lil’ Wayne & Birdman.
At one point Lil’ Wayne tweeted about wanting out of Cash Money. Issues with the release date of ‘Tha Carter V’ and even reports that Bird- man was involved in a con- spiracy to have Lil’ Wayne killed came about as well. Lil’ Wayne was even suing Bird- man for millions that he said Birdman owed him as his ad- vance money and for not being able to come to some type of agreement. Rumor has it that the two may have “kissed and made up,” they are back to- gether again, and they will

make the announcement soon. Birdman & Birdman Jr. are back #BirdmanHandrub. We guess “families” do fall out and make up.
Creed's Michael B. Jordan: Sylvester Stallone Gave Me Style Tips
Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone in Creed.
In Creed, the seventh film in the Rocky series (in the- aters Nov. 25), retired champ Balboa (Sylvester Stal- lone) trains the son of former rival Apollo Creed, Adonis (Michael B. Jordan). Jor- dan, who at 28 has starred in films like Fruitvale Station and Fantastic Four, talks fash- ion, Drake, and his insane workout routine (hello, bi- ceps!).
What did you learn from working with Stallone?
Michael B. Jordan: Sly is savvy! He actually gave me some style tips. I’m a man who loves wearing suits, but he has more suits than I do. I remem- ber one time he came in just completely overdressed. He just completely blew me out of the water. I was like, “This is never happening again!” And he was like, “You always need to come prepared.” So from then on, whenever I’m at an event with him, I’m coming correct!
Did he give you any boxing advice?
MBJ: He taught me how to throw punches and hit me in my chest a couple times. Old dog’s still got a little bite to him!
You were in great shape be- fore this movie, but did you have to kick it up a notch to play Adonis?
MBJ: It differed from week to week, but some days it
would be boxing and weight lifting. Some days it would just be boxing and cardio. I worked out two to three times a day. I ate five to six times a day, every two and a half hours. I drank about a gallon and a half of water every day. Just doing that consistently for about 10 or 11 months, you see a physi- cal change!
What music made your gym playlist?
MBJ: I was listening to three albums on constant re- peat: A$AP Rocky’s At. Long. Last A$AP, Drake’s If You're Reading This It’s Too Late, and Big Sean’s new album Dark Sky Paradise.
Do you still box for fun? Or did you totally burn out?
MBJ: I still box! It gives me peace of mind sometimes.
Tessa Thompson (Dear White People) stars as your love interest in Creed. What was it like playing opposite her?
MBJ: Tessa is amazing. She’s such a giving actress, and she’s collaborative. We defi- nitely had a lot of chemistry, so she made it easy to go back and forth and find the creative moments between these two characters.
Do you consider yourself a lover or a fighter?
MBJ: Both! I’m definitely a lover, but I fight when I have to — for something or some- one.
