White Dog Choker Amy Cooper Who Falsely Reported Black Man In Central Park Gives Weak Apology
Source: @melodyMcooper / Twitter Amy Cooper, the white woman who attempted to falsely accuse a Black man of physically harming her after he checked her on dog walking rules, is now speaking out. In her first public statement since the viral video of her endangering the life of Christian Cooper and her dog as well, Cooper gave a rather thin apology for her actions. As reported by CNN, Ms. Cooper, who was filmed on Memorial Day walking her dog in an area of New York’s Central Park known as the Ramble, Mr. Cooper (no relation) informed the woman that she should observe the park’s rules and properly leash her pet. What ensued is Ms. Cooper pulling out her phone and calling 911 stating that she was taking a photo of Mr. Cooper and calling the cops while adding the false claim that Mr. Cooper wa...

Ayesha Curry Shows Off Weight Loss In Viral Bikini Photo, Fans Call Foul
Source: Donell Woodson / Getty Chef, entrepreneur, wife, and mom Ayesha Curry took some time out during quarantine to shed a few pounds, but not everyone is happy about how she chose to show it off. On Sunday (May 24), Ayesha Curry took to Instagram to show off a smoking new body that left a few fans sweating. In a picture taken by her NBA superstar husband, Stephen Curry, Ayesha posted a picture of herself in a form-fitting bikini with the caption, “Took me long enough.” While initial reactions to her amazing new look were congratulatory, it didn’t take long for a few fans to dig up an old tweet where Ayesha Curry was calling out women for “barely wearing clothes.” Citing hypocrisy, the fans claim that Mrs. Curry’s stance was driven by her insecurities about her weight before accusing her...

Promoters Aren’t Expecting Large Concerts to Return Until Summer 2021
In what should come as a surprise to almost no one, live music promoters are ready to throw in the towel for 2020 in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. A New York Times article published on Sunday (May 24) spoke with a number of prominent executives, all who are pointing to next summer as the time when they can realistically expect the concert business to get back on track. Despite local governments allowing steady reopening and for some concerts to take place, the executives appear to be realistic about the situation. “While we think that phenomenal strides are being made in both cases, given the lead time involved in planning major concert tours, and the uncertainties that exist today, we don’t expect a large volume of major tours in the fall,” Live Nation president Joe Berchtold said...
