Rumor has it Deion Sanders will be a head coach within a matter of days. As spotted on NewJersey.com the former gridiron great might be taking some student athletes under his wing in 2020.

Eve Admits Her Wild Party Habits Caused Her Sitcom To Be Canceled
Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN At the highest point of Eve’s career, she ambitiously juggled a self-titled sitcom on UPN that became a popular weekly fix in Black households but was ultimately pulled off-air due to low ratings. Looking back at it now, the “Pitbull in a skirt” regretfully admits she is the main one to blame for the show’s failure. The rap star explained during an episode of “Uncensored” how she struggled to shake the lure of nightlife while simultaneously keeping up with the rigors of filming a television series. “Having my own sitcom was everything. It was pressure, it was fun, it was stressful. It was amazing. I was the youngest at the time, of the cast. And a lot of them were just getting married, just having babies or just buying their first house. I was still g...

Newest 2021 Ram 1500 Built to Serve Edition Celebrates the U.S. Air Force
Ram Trucks introduced a novel take on the limited-edition pickup earlier this year when it began rolling out its “Built to Serve” line of 1500 pickups. These special-edition trucks were to be released in batches of 1,000 to 2,000 units, with each run decorated in honor of one of the five branches of America’s armed forces. So far, we’ve seen Ram’s Built to Serve 1500 pickups celebrating the Army and Navy, and now comes the third model in the line, representing the Air Force—just in time for that service branch’s 73rd anniversary. Landing in showrooms in the fourth quarter of this year, likely as 2021 models, the Ram 1500 Built to Serve Air Force trucks will be available in two “aeronautical” and exclusive paint colors: Anvil and Billet Silver...
What’s Your Favorite Sam Smith Hot 100 Hit? Vote!
As Sam Smith‘s new “Diamonds” single dazzles in fans’ ears, Billboard wants to know which of their Billboard Hot 100 hits still shines as your favorite. “Stay With Me” remains their highest-charting hit at No. 2, but tracks that tug on listeners’ heartstrings such as 2014’s “I’m Not the Only One” and make one dance the pain away with 2019’s “How Do You Sleep?” have secured the 28-year-old superstar a slew of top 10 slots on the chart. The English singer-songwriter’s work with the EDM duo Disclosure still sizzles on the dance floor with “Latch” and “Omen.” But they created an Olympic gold medal-winning dream team with Demi Lovato earlier this year for “IR...

With three days to go before the end of summer, Tyga drops off his summer party banger “Money Mouf,” featuring Saweetie and YG, Friday (Sept. 18) that’ll keep the party going long after the season’s over. He samples “Salt Shaker” by Ying Yang Twins, featuring Lil Jon and The East Side Boyz, which reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 nearly two decades ago in 2004.

I invented racks (Rack city)”) and shakes his stacked pockets for a club-ready anthem that’ll have anyone’s hips moving in seconds. He extends his invitation to the “Tap In” queen, who shouts out her man Quavo&nbs...

You ALL helped to make my birthday extra special ♥️” she wrote. Naturally the visual made fans sprint to a wide array of assumptions about who the mystery man could. Since then she ha...

MAGA Youth 101: Trump Announces ‘Patriotic Education’ Commission To Combat Education On Racial Equality
Source: Drew Angerer / Getty Donald Trump is proving that his administration is heavy on making America more racist, with the announcement of his new ‘Patriotic Education’ Commission. On Thursday (Sept 17), Trump announced that he would be creating a commission to promote “patriotic education” and adding that a grant program was developed to introduce a “pro-American curriculum.” The move is largely political — and a reaction to a growing push by some academics for schools to teach an American history that better acknowledges slavery and systemic racism. In the speech, Trump denounced racial equality education, labeling it as a “twisted web of lies” being taught in U.S. classrooms about systemic racism in America, before calling it “a form of child abuse,” reprising the themes from a speec...
Lady Gaga Shares Video for ‘911’
Lady Gaga’s Chromatica was released back in June. Since then, the album has been mostly applauded and she took home several VMAs last month. Today, Gaga unveiled a short film (or video) for “911” from that album. The clip begins with the singer stuck in the middle of the desert, blindfolded and surrounded by fruit. She follows a guy on horseback to a house that suddenly appears…and things go from there. As you’d expect from a Gaga video, there’s a lot going on, and it’s quite dramatic. The film was directed by award-winning director Tarsem and produced by The Artists Company. Some of the song’s lyrics address dealing with mental health issues, and include “Doctor’s on the other line / ‘Cause he’s not coming home tonight / And I just took my very last pill / Need somethi...
