The Cos mugshot heading to TMZ and The Smoking Gun.
The entertainer appeared in court today with cameras in tow. The 78-year old Bill Cosby was walking with a cane. He almost tripped trying to enter the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania court to be arraigned on sexual assault charges.
He posted a $1 million get out of jail free card. He also relinquished his passport.
Cosby faces a some serious charges. This has to be the biggest celebrity scandal of 2015. To see America's Dad take this nosedive is shocking. But I'm not too surprised.
He was a powerful voice in the entertainment industry. He created the hit series The Cosby Show. He inspired children with Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids. He entertained us with his comedy acts.
The conservative Craigslist once lauded Cosby's in your face reactions towards Black America. See what happens now when the conservative agitator splashes the New York Daily News hard hitting front cover.
The victim Andrea Constand decided to publicly come forth acknowledging she was a victim of a 2004 assault. The incident happened when the Temple basketball coach went to his home outside of Philadelphia.
She claimed that he gave her some alcohol with a "herbal additive". She would pass out.
No sense of knowing what's going on, she realized that Cosby was fingering her privates and groping her. She was in a paralyzed state. The two settled out of court with a disclosed amount. But the charges never went forth until now.
Andrea was one of the first women to publicly accuse the comedian of sexual misconduct. At the time, the Montgomery County district attorney declined to pursue charges. Constand later sued Cosby and they settled out of court for undisclosed terms in 2006.
Cosby is innocent until proven guilty. These charges are felonies. They can carry 2 to 15 years in the iron college. The severity of the offense could land a TIER III label on the entertainer.
The nation of Cosby is crumbling. And it seems like the leader of this country is being taken to trial.
A prosecutor in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania served Bill Cosby. The allegations of sexual assault have finally brought him a court date. This plan announced today comes as a major blow to Cosby. As if he didn't need anymore bad news.
The entertainer's reputation took a nosedive after 50 women came forth saying that Cosby's drugged them and sexually assaulted them.
The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office and the Cheltenham Township Police have scheduled a news presser to discuss the charges being handed to Cosby.
This case deals with the 2004 allegations. The charge is aggravated indecent assault. This charge could carry up to 15 years in the iron college with TIER III label if convicted. Cosby denies any fault to what happened. Cosby is likely to have his passport seized in case he decides to flee authorities.
Cosby is innocent until proven guilty. He is expected to head to Pennsylvania to post bail and have a court hearing.
Meek Mill heading to the iron college. He broke the fourth wall by telling the judge he's no gangsta rapper.
Philadelphia Michael Nutter had knocked Donald Trump for being an asshole. I'm guessing he's going to knock Meek Mill for being in the same league as the billionaire running for the Republican nomination.
Many in the entertainment industry mocked the rapper for being ignorant. I guess he's truly lived to the standard of being an ignorant entertainer.
The court system told Meek Mill to appear to his P.O.. He failed to do it. The court system told him to make frequent drug tests. He failed to do that. The court system told him to report his locations when he was leaving Philadelphia. He didn't. I guess he was so obsessed with being a part of "his girl's tour".
Now in the courtroom, a tearful Meek Mill tells Judge that he's no gangsta. He said that his girl [Queen] Nicki Minaj turned his life over. He apologized for taking shots at the district attorney on his now panned sophomore album "Dreams Worth More Than Money".
The judge said "No mas". You're going to....well you know!
Philly.com reports that Common Pleas Court Judge Genece E. Brinkley hinted that the North Philadelphia rapper's next out-of-town tour - after he is sentenced Feb. 5 - could be the iron college.
"I bent over backward to give him every opportunity to grow his career," Brinkley told defense lawyer Frank DeSimone at the end of the 51/2-hour, virtually nonstop hearing.
Mill, born Robert Williams, and a courtroom packed with his supporters and entourage, including superstar girlfriend Nicki Minaj, seemed stunned by the judge's words.
His girl's tour.... Meek Mill dating Nicki Minaj. She appeared in court with Meek as he faces a bid.
"I know the people who support you really want you to get probation," Brinkley told Mill. "I don't know that would be appropriate because you and I have been around the block a few times."
"I know, your honor," he quietly replied.
Though Mill will not be sentenced for seven weeks, the judge's interim restrictions ended his ability to earn money in the music business.
Brinkley barred Mill from performing anywhere, and limited his travel to the five counties of Southeastern Pennsylvania. He may not even commute to New Jersey to visit his mother, who underwent spine surgery in October.
The judge did permit Mill to do charity work that does not involve performing.
Mill's entertainment management company, Roc Nation, presented the judge with a package of charity and philanthropic ventures - most involving inner-city schools and prison outreach -* in which Mill had expressed interest.
Rapper and singer Nicki Minaj.
Mill testified for about an hour, assuring the judge that he had not purposely defied his probation.
Sounding contrite, Mill praised Brinkley for helping him turn his life around, and said he holds her in the same esteem as his mother, grandmother, sister, and girlfriend.
"I would never dishonor and disrespect you knowing that you are the person who gave me the shot to change my life," he told Brinkley.
After the hearing, Mill quickly doffed his black suit jacket and gray necktie. Court security officers escorted Mill, Minaj - who wore a plum jacket and black skirt - and their entourage to a restricted area containing elevators used by judges and court officials to exit the building.
Neither Mill nor Minaj said a word to reporters.
The case was a routine drug and gun matter in 2008. Mill was convicted, served eight months in the iron college, and then began five years' probation in the fall of 2009.
Since then, his problems following the rules for all probationers - reporting to a probation officer and getting prior approval for out-of-town travel - got him sentenced to an additional five months in the iron college back in 2013.
Assistant District Attorney Noel Ann DeSantis and Probation Officer Treas Underwood outlined a series of alleged probation violations since July, most involving Mill's travels to cities not on his court-approved itinerary or without notifying Underwood.
DeSantis also cited a November urine sample that a technician alleged Mill either diluted with cold water or used another substance to mask illegal drug use. Mill denied doing either, and said the technician threw out the sample and would not permit him to provide another.
Meek Mill's mentor Rick Ross took shots at Drake. Meek and Rozay are members of the Maybach Music mafia.
As in 2013, much of Mill's problems seemed to involve problems in communication among him, his entourage and management, and the probation and court system.
And, as in 2013, Mill on Thursday had an impressive list of supporters vowing to work with him to improve the North Philadelphia community: music legend Kenny Gamble, who said he wanted Mill to work with his charter schools and community projects; Jimmie Moore, a former Municipal Court judge now working with residents and youths in North Philadelphia; and Philadelphia music manager Shawn Gee, who has worked with Minaj and offered to help teach Mill how to manage life in the entertainment business.
Gee warned that Mill's earning ability could be dramatically harmed by any break in his career. Gee said most rap musicians earn the bulk of their revenue through short-notice, one-shot appearances, not recordings.
Gee said Mill's impact on Philadelphia could be immense: "One of the things I noticed is that it's not just the kids in the 'hood, it's kids from Lower Merion. The impact he can have because of the power of his voice can be tremendous."
Meek Mill fucked up. I mean he just about as dumb as Tyga.
In July, Meek Mill took to social media to blast former collaborator Drake for having ghostwriters. Drake nailed his ass to the wall. Meek Mill haven't been able to rebound from this.
Tyrese announced T-G-T broke up. Tyrese and Tank kicked Ginuwine to the curb.
Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank formed the supergroup T-G-T in 2007. The three were close friends and Tyrese was best man at Ginuwine's wedding, but TGT represented their first collaboration.
The Three Kings album was released a couple of years ago.
The group released their album on Atlantic Records. Things got rocky from the start. It's the fault of a guy who once told women to ride his "Pony".
T-G-T officially broke up. Tyrese took to social media to announce the breakup.
I believe that Ginuwine was responsible for the group having broken up.
There's a video on YouTube showing Tyrese and Tank visibly angry at Ginuwine. Ginuwine was either too drunk or high when he performed their single "I Need" on live television.
Tyrese says Ginuwine's antics broke the group up. Ginuwine blasted Tyrese and Tank for being drama queens.
Ginuwine apparently was going bonkers. He was married to Solé since 2003. That 12 year marriage came to an end when she filed for divorce this year. They have two children. She has two from a previous relationship. Ginuwine has four other children before and after his marriage to Solé.
Tyrese broke the news on social media, saying it wasn't anyone's fault ... but he and Tank were moving on without Ginuwine.
That announcement didn't sit well with Ginuwine, who immediately blasted Tyrese for airing their dirty laundry. He dismissed it as a "p***y move" from a diva. His advice to Tyrese -- "Call me don't try and manipulate the situation publicly wack wack wack of you."
Fatal police shooting in East Stroudsburg Walmart.
Do I smell a John Crawford style shooting in East Stroudsburg?
The law puts down a gunman who was threatening shoppers at a local Walmart.
I don't know. Maybe it was a legitimate threat.
Pennsylvania is an open carry state. A person can walk into a business with a firearm.
I have to be skeptical. Could it been another swatting call?
Ronald Ritchie calling 911 on John Crawford saying that he was pointing a gun at shoppers. That wasn't the case. The law arrived in two minutes to the store. The law would approach John while he was on the phone. He was holding a BB gun on his shoulder and within two seconds, he was shot by Beavercreek, Ohio police.
Andrew Joseph Todd was the gunman who came into a Walmart with a two handguns and a machete.
Maybe he may have threatened customers. Maybe he didn't. The state police and feds are investigating if the shooting was justified.
Stroudsburg resident Chris Torino was in the store's home and garden section when he saw the man dressed in black with a bandanna over his face holding a handgun to his own head. The man rounded a corner and went into a different aisle, at which point Torino lost sight of him.
Torino was probably the one who called the law on Todd.
"People started screaming and going frantic. They were saying, 'look, look, look!'" Torino said.
Within what seemed like minutes of the man entering the store, Stroud Area Regional Police converged on the store carrying assault rifles and telling shoppers to evacuate.
The scene was chaotic and shoppers screamed and scrambled to the nearest exists, dropping shopping bags on their way out the door, Torino said.
Torino heard at least one shot fired as he evacuated the store. Todd didn't shot anyone at the store. No body was injured in this. The law was doing the shooting.
The law declined to comment on whether the man was pointing the gun at his own head.
Are they trying to say that Todd was trying to commit suicide while in the store. Suicide by cop?
Two weeks in and he's already fucked up. A small town police chief was fired out the cannon after it was revealed he made some offensive remarks about Black people in an email sent to residents of a nearby city.
The town of Farrell, Pennsylvania had to fire the police chief out the cannon, two weeks into his new job. The town found out that the chief had used a racial slur in an email sent to a group of school administrators in nearby Sharon. They didn't properly vet the guy and now they're doing damage control now that he's been fired out the cannon.
Farell is 15 miles from the city of Youngtown, Ohio. The controversy became a national headline.
The folks over at Raw Story got the story on lock. In the email, the now disgraced police chief said that “N****rs gotta learn how to read.” It was a remark made after he participated in a book drive for the community.
Tom Burke sent the offensive email to around 40 members of parent-teacher organizations connected to elementary schools in Sharon, Pa. He was sworn in on Nov. 17 as chief of police. The offensive email came to light shortly thereafter.
Farrell Mayor Olive McKeithan said that she asked for Burke’s resignation in a meeting on Wednesday.
“I asked him if he would step down because I thought it would be best for the community,” McKeithan told the Sharon Herald. “He said ‘yes.’”
Burke said at his resignation that his intention was never to offend anyone.
About half of Farrell’s residents identify as black. Burke was set to take office at the beginning of 2016. He retired as the police chief of nearby Sharon in 2007.
Although Burke resigned on Wednesday, the city did not make the news public until the weekend due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
Michael Ceci, Farrell city manager, told the Herald by phone on Friday that he would never have hired Burke if he’d known about the offensive email.
“He wasn’t set to be on the job until Dec. 1, so we allowed him to resign before he actually was on the job,” Ceci explained.
“(I)f somebody were to ask if we had discovered this e-mail during the interviewing process would we have hired him, the answer would be no,” Ceci said.
“When dealing with the public sector people should expect more from us,” Ceci said. “There is no place in government on any level for this.”
I got an opportunity to check out the latest stories on Google+.
It seems like nothing is sacred anymore. This was mentioned by S. Baldwin.
I happened to click on Addicting Info and got an opportunity to shake my head in disgust over the heartless actions done to a homeless veteran.
In Philadelphia, the law is searching for the individuals who beat 51-year old Robert Barnes to death.
Robert Barnes before his death. He was hit over the head with a blunt object.
They believe Robert got hit with a blunt object. He was declared brain dead after the injuries prove to be too extensive to treat. He would die upon the injuries.
The people who were arrested were teenagers. They claimed that Robert got into an argument with one of the suspects.
Not only that, one of the suspect's mother, 34-year-old Aleathea Gillard, has been charged in the case, along with 24-year-old Shareena Joachim.
Three teens were also arrested and charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, simple assault and related offenses.
World News Today sends our condolences to the family of Robert Barnes.
Like Drake said, trigger fingers turn into Twitter fingers. These clowns got bodied by a singing Nigga. Now these clowns are back in the studio to respond to the "Back to Back" diss.
Is it too late?
The Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill hooked up with the Houston rap duo Sauce Twinz to release the single "Winnin'". It's going after their arch rival, Drake.
Meek went to social media in July to blast the Canadian entertainer for having an alleged ghostwriter on his albums. He basically said that Drake can't be the greatest rapper if he has a ghostwriter writing his lyrics.
Drake has nailed Meek Mill to the wall and left him stuck. Drake hit him so hard, it's almost an embarrassment for Meek to respond back.
But since the streets were demanding Meek step his flow up, he had no choice. This was an awkward collaboration to say at least, but it managed to get junk food media attention.
But the lyrics as followed.

Meek Mill aimed a shot at Drake and Future. They will likely respond back.
Okay, let me put it in layman's terms for the readers here at World News Today.
Meek Mill says that he's still banging Nick Minaj. He said that Drake ain't hurting his money. The "run back to me" comment is a dig at Drake and Nicki Minaj's rap label. There's a civil war within Cash Money/Young Money. Lil' Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj are blasting the label for inept management. Meek was teasing that Roman Pink is thinking about becoming a Dreamchaser. He said that he's not a corny rapper like Drake. I am guessing he's taking a shot at Future as well. The "giving the cash to the bitches" remark sounds like a dig at Future. On What A Time To Be Alive, Future said Meek is trying to be a battle rapper, while he's assuring himself as a trap rapper. He said that Meek's feud with Drake is jibber jabber.
Sauce Walka says that he's representing Houston flow. He said that Drake stole the flow. He threatened Drake with physical violence if he comes back to the city. He called Drake a wannabe.
Sanchez Saucey had the most interesting of the lyrics. He basically said that he may pull up on Drake when they let their guard down. He said that Sauce Twinz are the streets and they don't give a fuck about radio play. He called Drake a bitch and he would do better sucking for beats.
On the response from Drake. Let's hear the song 30 for 30 from What A Time To Be Alive.
Okay, I am going to be pretty honest with you on the song from Sauce Twinz and Meek Mill.
It's not bad. But it's not strong enough. I mean if you're going to take on a mainstream rapper who dominates the charts with hits, you better come with a hit.
Adele's 25 and Justin Bieber Purpose are out this week. These albums may have dethorned Drake's If You're Reading This Its Too Late. Adele's album became one of fastest selling albums this year.
The devil told me to kill and I complied. This murderer is in lockup on capital murder. Two of his buddies are in lockup as well. Now will the concern trolls blame President Barack Obama and Black Lives Matter for a heartless murder?
In Lehigh Valley, a trio of men were arrested in a series of spree killings. One of the killers claims he was motivated by the devil. This story happened over the summer but finally managed to get attention. Conservatives are upset that the junk food media cared only about the White terrorist who murdered nine innocent church goers. They're pissed that three Black terrorists managed to kill seven innocent victims in two states and it barely gets junk food media coverage.
An Elizabeth, NJ man is in the lockup for murder. He claims that the "voices" in his head told him to just kill and he followed through.
His accomplices are also held in lockup for allowing him to carry out the attacks.
Allentown police detective John Brixius tells Lehigh Valley Live that the suspect Todd West heard "The voice was telling him, 'Just eat, eat, stop being so picky,'"
When West was asked if police had the getaway car used in his crime wave, West told them he knew police had the car, "because he told him, referring to the devil," Brixius said.
The detective's account is one of an estimated 15 witnesses who are expected at a preliminary hearing, which started Tuesday afternoon and is continuing into the evening.
West, 23, of Elizabeth, New Jersey, is charged with seven killings in all -- three in the Lehigh Valley and four before that in New Jersey. Authorities have agreed to try him in the Pennsylvania cases first.
Kareem Mitchell, the accused driver during the Lehigh Valley rampage, told investigators he was giving co-defendant Robert Jourdain a ride with his 2-year-old son to Easton, and West, whom he had never met before, came with them.
Mitchell said West displayed a gun as the SUV traveled from New Jersey into Pennsylvania.
After dropping off Jourdain's son with the boy's mother in Easton, the trio went to Allentown, where West got a haircut the night of July 4, Brixius said.
The three then went to an after-hours club -- they weren't sure where -- and then drove to the Wal-Mart at Northampton Crossings in Lower Nazareth Township in the early morning of July 5, where Jourdain bought bullets, Brixius testified.
West said the trio were driving in Easton, when he saw a man who looked tired walking along Lehigh Street; the man was Kory Ketrow.
West told investigators he was going to "help" Ketrow, then West got out of the SUV, said "See ya later" and fired a Smith and Wesson .38-caliber pistol "until it was empty" -- a total of six rounds, Brixius said.
Asked if West knew the victim, West identified him as, "Just a guy in Easton," Brixius said.
These terrorists committed heartless murders in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
West then described traveling to Allentown and shooting Francine E. Ramos and Trevor D. Gray, both of Allentown, in a burgundy Honda a little before 4 a.m. near North Sixth and Greenleaf streets, Brixius testified.
West saw Ramos stiffen as he opened fire and knew she was dead, but told police that Gray tried to duck behind a car, "but he believed he got him," Brixius said.
The killings in the two cities happened about 45 minutes apart.
When investigators asked West about opening fire on a couple in Easton after Ketrow's killing but before going to Allentown, West "couldn't believe he forgot," Brixius said, and described the demands from the voice he was hearing.
Helene Barone didn't forget. The Palmer Township woman was driving the car that police say West shot.
Barone testified she was at a traffic light at Third and Spring Garden streets about 3:20 a.m. July 5 when she looked in her rear-view mirror. She saw an SUV stopped about 20 feet behind her car with its lights off.
Barone said she saw a man get out of the rear passenger seat and raise his arm. That's when she said she saw a gun.
"I said, 'Oh my God they're going to shoot us!'" Barone testified. She hit the gas as she heard three shots, she said.
"I was out of there," she said.
Murder of seven innocent people by this terrorist.
Barone drove through two red lights, got on Route 22 West and got off at the 25th Street exit to go to the Palmer Township Police Department, she said.
Barone said she noticed a tire was losing air. The next day when the tire was taken off the car, someone shook the tire and could hear something inside. When Barone took the car to a tire shop on July 6, a bullet was found in the tire well, she said.
Here's a quick poll!
Now that the Lehigh Valley spree shooters are caught, who actually gets the blame for this heartless act of violence?
So if you picked the shooters, then you're correct. If you pick other entities other than the shooters, then you're part of the problem.
For you see another mass shooting occurred in America. The conservative Craigslist splashes this and the concern trolls are full swing into blaming President Barack Obama over the shooters.
When he address gun control, the concern trolls are tone deaf. They accuse the president of shielding Black criminals over White victims. Despite all the talk from the president, the conservatives will always find some reason to jump to conclusions and blame.
Gun crime is the number one threat in the United States. It beats terrorism and Ebola.
We can pass legislation to stop terrorism. We can pass legislation to control Ebola. But we can't pass a sensible background check law because of Congress being so fucking inept.
The NRA has a hold over the Congress. Republicans hide their ignorance behind the Constitution.
How long will it take before something gets done.
104 people die a day from gun violence. If you multiple it by 7 it's 728 people a week.
If you put it in 52 weeks 37,856 people die a year by gun violence.
World News Today send our condolences to those lost in senseless gun violence.
Bystanders capture the moment when Wilmington, Delaware police put down an unarmed man in a wheelchair.
The U.S. Justice Department along with Delaware State Attorney General and the State Police are investigating the death of an unarmed suspect killed by the law.
Jeremy McDole was a 28 year old man who was paralyzed from the waist down.
Wilmington Police released a statement backing the officers involved in the shooting death of Jeremy. According to the law, there was a report of a man with a gun in the area near a nursing home.
The law engaged in contact with the suspect. The suspect didn't raise his hands and reached into his pocket. He was shot multiple times by three officers. One officer render aid to the suspect.
Of course, there's a video that surfaced on the internet. The video shows one of the officers with a double barrel shotgun pointing directly at Jeremy. The officer yells for compliance and Jeremy ignores the order.
Be warned, this video is extremely graphic.
The NAACP and the family are calling upon the state prosecutor and U.S. Justice Department to look into the matter of how this tragedy occurred.
Junk food media show mugshot of Jeremy McDole.
The officers are in the freezer pending an investigation into handling of the situation. Of course, they will have to lawyer up and have a damn good police union release "damming information" about Jeremy to sway the public into believing his death was justified. The police unions are ready to blame Black Lives Matter and President Barack Obama for an officer's reckless call.
The family disputes the law's talking points of the suspect having a firearm in possession. Big freaking deal! Whether he had a firearm or not, the law can't just put you down for having a weapon in public. There's no law on the books that says that you're not allow to have a firearm in public.
Since DC v. Heller, many gun owners (i.e. White men) often walk the streets and public places with firearms. They don't get shot on sight. Only Black, Hispanic or practicing Muslims get shot on sight.
The family said that Jeremy didn't own a weapon. His mother Phyllis didn't mince words, she basically said this was a cold blooded murder.
He shot my son like he was roadkill,” says Phyllis McDole.
“He wasn’t bothering anybody. He didn’t have a weapon or anything. They shot my son so much he fell out of the wheelchair. He fell out the chair and on the ground. He wasn’t armed. He didn’t have a gun. He died by himself. He died alone.”
“I raised my son to be a good kid. He wasn’t a troublemaker. Every day he came here at 12 o’clock and took his nephew to the store to get water ice. What am I supposed to tell his nephew tomorrow when he doesn’t come to take him to get a water ice?”
Addicting Info is one of my favorite blogs. They counted the record number of police involved shootings that result in the death of a suspect. It's close to 875 this year alone. A fraction of those suspects killed were unarmed and not under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
They shot my son like he was a dying animal. - Phyllis McDole, the mother of Jeremy McDole.
Blacks are killed by law enforcement five times more than Whites.
And our friends in the racist right believe that we justify hatred of cops. They believe that we're not focused on gun crimes in Black communities (i.e. Black on Black crime).
The junk food media often runs a mugshot of the victim. They often release glaring photos of the indicted cop and/or vigilante. The concern trolls would dig into the social media to unearth embarrassing or incriminating things to discredit the family's account. Agitators such as that annoying conservative agitator would gather a talking point and stick to it regardless of it being either discredited or half-true. Then the agitators in the conservative media would react as predictable to President Barack Obama's belief that Black men fear the law more than terrorism.
Behind the scenes the state or city would shelve out damage royalties to the family if they believe the officer's call was reckless.
They don't take fault in the death of an unarmed suspect. Paying off families the victims eases the pressure of having an Al Sharpton presence or an economic boycott.
That's why #BlackLivesMatter exist. Far too many people are killed at the hands of reckless cops.
No one wishes death on law enforcement. But assured that being a cop is dangerous. To the racist right, an innocent Black motorist or an unarmed Black suspect is just about as dangerous as being being a cop.

The passing of the chairman. Moses Malone passed away suddenly.
Another legend in the game passed away. World News Today send our condolence to the family of Moses Malone.
The NBA Hall of Famer died on Sunday at age 60. The Philadelphia 76ers confirmed the "passing of a legend" in a statement commending the superstar for his contributions to the city and basketball.
The three-time NBA MVP averaged 20.6 points and 12.2 rebounds per game over his 21 seasons playing professional basketball. He was also named the Finals MVP in 1983 while playing with the 76ers, who won the league championship that year.
"It is with a deep sense of sadness that the Sixers family mourns the sudden loss of Moses Malone. It is difficult to express what his contributions to this organization -- both as a friend and player -- have meant to us, the city of Philadelphia and his faithful fans," the 76ers said in a statement on Sunday.
Many in the NBA send condolences to his family.
Malone went pro when he was just 19 years old -- the first person to join professional basketball right out of high school -- playing as a forward and then center for ABA team the Utah Stars. After two seasons, he made the jump to the NBA, where he scored 27,409 points and snagged 16,212 rebounds over the next 19 years.
The 6-foot-10 center, nicknamed the "Chairman of the Boards," was chosen as one of the NBA's 50 greatest players of all time in 1996. He was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame in 2001.
News of Malone's death, first reported by ESPN early Sunday, sparked an outpouring of love and remembrance for the player, including this touching tribute from the 76ers.
The doo wop group The Sha Na Na's have been a dominant force in the late 1960s to now.
A member of the group who has ties to my community passed away over the weekend. World News Today send our condolences to the family of Dennis Greene.
Born as Frederick Greene, he was an American singer who was a member of Sha Na Na who were formed in 1969 at Columbia University in New York as the Columbia Kingsmen. The name change to Sha Na Na occurred because of another group with a similar name, which was known for the song Louie Louie.
The Sha Na Na
The television show Sha Na Na aired from 1978 to 1981. Greene choreographed most of the moves for the show, on which he was known simply as Denny. Denny was portrayed in the series as the most intelligent member of Sha Na Na. He sang lead in the song "Tears on My Pillow" when he appeared with Sha Na Na in the movie Grease, in 1978.
He was born in New York City and took up studies in legal affairs. On the sidelines he was the principle member of the group.
Greene graduated from Yale Law School, he worked as Vice President of Production and Features at Columbia Pictures. Following that, he was President at Lenox/Greene films. He has taught at Florida A&M University and the University of Oregon, as well as being a visiting professor at several other universities including Ohio State University, Seton Hall University, and the University of Connecticut.
Greene also served on the board of directors for the Society of American Law Teachers and is listed in Who's Who Among African-Americans.
From December 2007 until his death, Greene was a Professor of Law at the University of Dayton School of Law, teaching classes such as Torts, Entertainment Law, and Constitutional Law.
Greene died in Columbus, Ohio on September 5, 2015.
The famed Chocolate Thunder, Darryl Dawkins passed away.
The legend of Chocolate Thunder. The famed dunking center would often break the glass when he done them dunks. He earned the name from R&B legend Stevie Wonder.
The name stuck, and the rim-wrecking, glass-shattering dunks remain unforgettable — as will the giant of a man who changed the game with them. Darryl Dawkins died Thursday at a hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania, according to the Lehigh County coroner's office. He was 58, and even though officials said an autopsy would be performed on Friday his family released a statement saying the cause of death was a heart attack.
"Darryl touched the hearts and spirits of so many with his big smile and personality, ferocious dunks, but more than anything, his huge, loving heart," his family said. "His family, wife Janice, children Dara, Tabitha, Nicholas and Alexis, along with countless family, friends, and fans, all mourn his loss.
"More than anything Darryl accomplished in his basketball career as the inimitable 'Chocolate Thunder,' he was most proud of his role and responsibility as a husband and father," his family added.
Dawkins, the first player to go from high school into the first round of the NBA draft, spent parts of 14 seasons in the NBA with Philadelphia, New Jersey, Utah and Detroit. He averaged 12 points and 6.1 rebounds in 726 career regular-season games.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Dawkins was "beloved around the league."
He was a beloved player said NBA commissioner Adam Silver.
"The NBA family is heartbroken by the sudden and tragic passing of Darryl Dawkins," Silver said. "We will always remember Darryl for his incredible talent, his infectious enthusiasm and his boundless generosity. He played the game with passion, integrity and joy, never forgetting how great an influence he had on his legions of fans, young and old."
Dawkins was, by any measure, a character. His love for the game was unquestioned and unwavering — he appeared at an 76ers alumni event earlier this month and recently posted a photo to his Twitter account of him coaching a summer-league girls team.
Dawkins was as revered off the court as he was on it. He remained enormously popular after his playing days were done, even during his stint as a member of the Harlem Globetrotters. He would name his dunks — the "look out below," the "yo-mama" and the "rim wrecker" among them — and often boasted that he hailed from the "Planet Lovetron."
In actuality, he was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, growing up impoverished with dreams of giving his mother and grandmother better lives.
"A great man, entertainer, athlete and ferocious dunker," former NBA guard Kevin Johnson wrote on Twitter. "He will be missed but not forgotten."
Injuries plagued Dawkins late in his NBA career, and he went overseas for several more years to play in the Italian league. He also briefly had stints in the Continental Basketball Association and the International Basketball Association. He also coached at times, at both the minor-league and junior-college levels.
He averaged double digits in nine consecutive NBA seasons, with his best year likely being the 1983-84 campaign for New Jersey. He averaged a career-best 16.8 points that year, with only foul trouble — 386 that season, still a league record — holding him back.
"Darryl Dawkins is the father of power dunking," Shaquille O'Neal once said. "I'm just one of his sons."
Many across the country expressed their thoughts to a great legend. World News Today send our condolences to the family of Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins.
Entertainers Ja Rule, 50 Cent, Drake and Meek Mill are feuding.
The Drake and Meek Mill feud may have started up another.
When Meek went into the final verse of his panned Wanna Know, he mentioned that this that Ja Rule and 50 Cent shit. Basically he said this feud will become physical if Drake goes near Philadelphia.
Ja went to social media to pan Meek's diss and remind his fans that he sold millions of albums and has the money to prove it. That's a knock to 50 declaring bankruptcy. He also stressed that nobody should be hurt in these rap feuds.
50 got wind of it and kindly remind his fans (or whoever would listen) that Ja got his ass tore up.
50 said that Ja would face another beat down.
And it's like a repeat of the same shit all over again for two longtime rappers. These Queens-based rappers are back burning each other. From social media to the studio, these two are back at it again!
Ja Rule (Jeffrey Atkins) and 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) reignited the feud they've started nearly 15 years ago. But who's listening to them?
They are both off the major labels. They have no label home and their shit ain't popping in the clubs anymore. They both seen the cannon fire them out. Def Jam fired Ja out the cannon after he was defeated by 50. Ja struggled to keep the magic going despite taking a "L" in this battle. Def Jam fired him out the cannon in 2007. The cannon was looking elsewhere. It seems despite having the world's best debut album, 50 saw his stock slide fast. I mean he was dogging on Ja for doing songs dancing with Ashanti. What the heck was he doing when he released Candy Shop? Interscope fired 50 out the cannon after he refused to change an album he wanted to push out so badly.
It's like Back to the Future. This old feud is like, old....
Seems like some things never change.
MTV caught a picture of them embracing one another. At first I thought it was joke, but it was true.
50 Cent was boarding a flight and saw Ja Rule on it. They did a picture for the fan.
Drake served Meek Mill with a side order of fries.
With the passing of WWE legend Rowdy Roddy Piper, the wrestling empire shares it condolences to the veteran of the ring.
One thing that's never forgotten: All feuds always were met in the ring!
If this was a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match, the winner would have been........!
Damn, Drizzy! I didn't think you do him like that!
The 6 God destroyed every aspect of Meek Mill. Matter of fact, everyone was expecting the Philly rapper to respond back with a hard hitting response.
Damn, Drake destroyed Meek's gangsta!
Nope. It fell flat. Now everyone and anyone is embarrassed to be around him.
So I want to tell you that Meek Millie clammed up on the social media. He's been off the social media for over five days now.
They clowned on him. Even some big corporations went to social media to mock Meek.
WWE is considering putting a dent in his finances. He used the theme from The Undertaker in his Wanna Know diss. The song was sampled without permission.
I think he may have violated his court order. In 2013, Meek was forced to take etiquette classes after a judge slapped him with a hefty fine and probation. He was served with firearm and dope charges.
He must notify his P.O. whenever he continues his tour with Nicki Minaj.
There's talk that the feud has gotten on Nicki's nerves. There's reports of them splitting up.
Now here comes the most funniest responses on Twitter from fans, athletes and corporations.
This Meek Mill clowning has been great for Burger King, White Castle, Hamburger Helper, Whataburger and even etiquette company Rosetta Stone. They actually making $$$$$$$ off it.
Having a bad day? Remember that you aren't Meek Mill
Meek Mill's feud with Drake got ugly. Drake lined up two. Meek lined up one. Some are saying Meek better catch up. Some say that the 6-God buried Meek.
The feud continues. 6-God laid two hammers and nailed it. He aimed at Meek Mill.
The feud started when Meek laid a bombshell on the public. He criticized Drake for having a ghostwriter in the studio. He also blasted him for not promoting his second album.
Drake was not taking that accusation well. So he went into the studio and let him have it.
The first single Charge Up was a light tap but it was a hammer ringer. That was the sample of what Drake had coming to Meek. I mean I was somewhat alright to it.
But the next song Back-to-Back went hard. It went viral and it almost felt like Eminem destroying Benzino. I've listened to it and I said, damn he hit him harder than I've thought!
[Intro]
Oh man, oh man, oh man, not again
[Verse]

Meek teased the fans with a taste of his response. He mocked Drake's singles for being "baby lotion" soft and "lol" his rhyme style. Meek even mocked the fact that this diss came without his ghostwriter.
So few days later, Meek Mill responded back with a single Wanna Know. The single aimed at Drake and it has his alleged ghostwriter and Diddy on it. It also mocked the rapper for being a rap Milli Vanilli.
[Intro]
I just wanna know how niggas going to jail Telling on niggas, coming back home and it still being cool I just wanna know how a nigga on Instagram and Twitter with fifty thousand followers Ain’t got no money in real life, but still popping, I just wanna know I wanna know, if a nigga ain’t really putting it in, but acting like he putting it in Niggas still letting it fly like it’s cool, I really wanna know man This shit getting different out here it’s getting spooky

[Outro] You let Tip homie piss on you in a movie theater nigga, we ain’t forget Real niggas back in style this shit is lit This that Ja Rule shit and 50 Cent
Many rap fans went right for the bell and said that Drake laid the hammer. The hammer went through the board and Meek got hurt. Critics says that Meek didn't live up to the challenge.
So Meek is determined to go back into the studio to lay a harder rhyme. It's reported that he's releasing another one in the coming days.
So the social media went crazy on it. Automatically the stans say it's a no question, Drake won.
The Daily Beast is spreading a rumor. It's reported that Meek and Nicki Minaj broke up. I am not confirming this. Meek put a ring on it earlier this year. They're engaged. Nicki stayed out of it for the most part. It's true that the 6-God is friends with Roman Zolanski, and they defend each other.
When Lil' Kim went at Nicki, Drake went right to defense of her. He said that Kim need to retire the hardcore and stick to being washed up.
Okay, judge for yourself which rapper had the juice!
