Source: JEFF KOWALSKY / Getty A Black Michigan lawmaker who appeared fearful of the protests and stances of residents opposed to the state-mandated shutdowns was offered a special security detail this week.

Live Nation Outlines Plan to Steadily Reopen Venues by End of 2021
If you’ve been anxiously awaiting when you could go back out and see some live music — Missouri and Arkansas withstanding — here’s some hope. During an earnings call with investors on Thursday (May 7), Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino said that the promotions giant is aiming to get things back to normal at the beginning of 2021.

She Quit It First: Princess Love Files For Divorce From Ray J
Source: David Crotty / Getty Ray J‘s 2020 is only getting worse. The singer and reality TV star’s wife Princess Love has filed for divorce. So, she quit it, as in the marriage, first. Sorry, we couldn’t resist. Anyway, the couple had been living separately for a long minute now, while occasionally airing their grievances on social for all to hear and see. According to TMZ, Princess filed her divorce documents on Tuesday (May 5) in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Damn son, on Cinco De Mayo, though?

Reebok Trolls Michael Jordan For His 1992 Olympics Snub
Source: Dimitri Iundt / Getty If you’ve been tuning into ESPN’s smash docu-series The Last Dance for the past few weeks you’d come to appreciate the new pieces of interesting information that’s been disclosed which have been kept secret for decades that may not mean much now but would’ve been a big deal in the 90’s. From Horace Grant possibly dropping dime on MJ’s “Republicans buy sneakers too” political stance to Dennis Rodman’s invention of the whole notion of “management load,” the series is as revealing as can be. But one pretty interesting nugget of information seems to have rubbed Reebok the wrong way. Viewers learned that during the 1992 Olympics gold medal ceremonies, Michael Jordan absolutely refused to be seen wearing his Reebok branded USA outfit on stage and instead he opted to...
