Are you married, single, in a situation-ship or just doing you? We’re talking about love and relationships. We were at the men’s roundtable last Friday. We’re talking to the women tonight. Can we hear the good, the bad and the not so pretty side? The love doctors are in.

(Annapolis, MD) — The family of Henrietta Lacks is suing a second biopharmaceutical company over its use of infamous “HeLa” cells. The cells were illegally taken from Lacks’ body without her consent during a medical procedure in 1951. Her cell line was the first to reproduce indefinitely, and it has since been used in medical research across the globe. On Thursday, Lacks’ family sued Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical for unlawfully generating huge profits using HeLa cells. The lawsuit says the suffering of Black people “has fueled innumerable medical progress and profit, without just compensation or recognition,” and Lacks’ family wants to block the company from continuing to use the cells without permission. Last week, the family announced a settlement with another company, Thermo Fisher Scientific, over profits from Lacks’ cancer cells.
Attorney Ben Crump, second from left, walks with Ron Lacks, left, Alfred Lacks Carter, third from left, both grandsons of Henrietta Lacks, and other descendants of Lacks, whose cells have been used in medical research without her permission, outside the federal courthouse in Baltimore, Monday, Oct. 4, 2021.
Fans are not too happy with singer Mario for penning a letter in support of Tory Lanez.
Mario joins the likes of fellow musician Iggy Azalea, who also wrote to Judge Herriford ahead of his controversial sentencing for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
In the note, Mario shared that he’s known Lanez for seven years and spoke highly of the artist who would “give his last for those closest to him.”
Mario also expressed surprise that Lanez would be violent towards a woman but asked that he and his son be “treated fairly.”
Fans could not help but question why he was defending him. It’s clear that music fans are split on those that support Tory versus those that support Megan. Many would assume we know the whole story but let’s be honest, the ones that know what happened that evening are the individuals in the vehicle.
Yes, the courts decided based on testimonies of that evening to sentence the Canadian rapper/singer to 10 years. We must understand the night in question changed all their lives. It isn’t our place to place judgement on those that decide to stand by whom they consider a friend.
The COVID pandemic forced a lot of people to work from home. Now, there’s a movement to get people to return to their work places. President Biden is pushing the issue for federal government workers. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has also talked up the issue. DC is a government town, but some are saying not so fast. What do you think? Is it time for federal government workers to return to their downtown offices full time?

Phylicia Rashad’s time as dean of the College of Fine Arts at Howard University is reportedly coming to a close.
Per recent reports, the esteemed actress of the stage and screen is stepping down from the role after the 2023-2024 academic year. She assumed the position in 2021.
According to The Dig, the announcement was made by Howard University President Wayne A. I. Frederick in an email sent to students and faculty this week.
“We deeply appreciate Dean Rashad’s selfless contributions and commitment to our alma mater during her leadership of the Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts and the many contributions she has made to Howard University’s students, graduates, and global community,” Frederick shared in the email. The search for a new dean will begin “shortly.”
“Join me in thanking and celebrating Dean Rashad for her many contributions to revitalize the Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts and her commitment to our University, its students and our global Howard community,” he added.
Freddy Gray, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Sandra Bland, Tyre Nichols. It’s no secret what these people have in common. Their deaths, resulting from interactions with the criminal justice system made headlines around the country. While their stories were shocking and invoked outrage, there are many others who go virtually unnoticed. Nine years ago today, 18-Year-old Michael Brown was shot to death by a police officer on a street in Ferguson, Missouri. We take a critical look at in-custody deaths and why my guests say the issue is a public health emergency.

(Provo, UT) — Federal officials say a Utah man was shot and killed during an FBI raid related to threats against President Biden Wednesday morning.

The man also allegedly threatened Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

August 9, 2023 marks the what would’ve been the 60th birthday of Whitney Houston. It’s undisputed that she is one of the greatest voices in music history. I mean, who else could make the Star Spangled Banner a #1 Pop Hit? No one can carry a ballad like Whitney did.
According to IMDb, Houston left behind six Grammy awards, seven American Music Awards, six NAACP awards, a Primetime Emmy, seven Soul Train Awards, and a BET Lifetime Achievement Award amongst many others. If there was a global superlative for Best Smile, she would’ve won that too. Outside of making music, she was an accomplished actress in the classic films Rodger & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, The Bodyguard, The Preacher’s Wife, and Waiting to Exhale (which gave us the bop “Exhale (Shoop Shoop)”). She even produced two of Disney’s most popular coming-of-age films, The Cheetah Girls and The Princess Diaries.
To her friends, family, and true fans, she will always be remembered as beautiful, lively, inspiring and a true gift.
Pick up a comb or hair brush and belt your heart out in honor of Whitney!
It’s the incident seen across the country. Viral videos showed the Black co-captain of a riverboat being attacked by a group of white men. Police say he asked them to move their pontoon boat from a reserved space. We take a look the issues surrounding this incident and why it has attracted so much attention in the black community.
Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz, National President, Black Lawyers For JusticeRandy Scott, Reporter/Executive Producer, Alabama Public Television
The 31-year-old Canadian Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson, professionally known as rapper/singer Tory Lanez has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Megan Pete, known as rapper Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in 2020.
The jury found him guilty of three counts: assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered handgun in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
In July 2020, Tory, Megan, and another friend Kelsey Harris, were in an SUV leaving Kylie Jenner’s party in the Hollywood Hills. Pete testified in court that Lanez pointed the gun at her and yelled for her to “dance, bi**h” as he shot her in the back of the foot while she walked away.
“Since I was viciously shot by the defendant, I have not experienced a single day of peace,” Megan wrote in a statement.
Tuesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Herriford sentenced Lanez, saying how difficult it was to decide for the father and good friend that others described him during the trial. “Sometimes good people do bad things,” Herriford said. “Actions have consequences, and there are no winners in this case.”
Lanez’s family and supporters argued Megan and influential figures in music unjustly brought on his prosecution. Lanez’s lawyers plan to appeal the conviction.
“If I could turn back the series of events that night and change them,” I would, Lanez continued. “The victim was my friend. The victim is someone I still care for to this day.”
He added, “Everything I did wrong that night, I take full responsibility for.”
Tuesday, Marlon Wayans took to social media to address the blogs that claimed the God Loves Me comedian was ignorant and failing the culture by his remarks made to post on his Instagram.
Wayans posted a portion of the Montgomery Riot, also known as Fade In The Water video, with the caption, ” How ’bout we NOT” try that in a small town”….Sh*t silly bro…let’s all just be love NOT war.” As the country song Try That In A Small Town by Jason Aldean plays.
The White Chicks star says, “I woke up to a bunch of stupid a** Google alerts, with a bunch of stupid a** sites misinterpreting my entire post.” Continuing,” Why the f**k would I criticize black people for defending themselves? I’m Black, the f**k.”
“Nobody knows irony anymore, HUH?” “Guess that just went out the window; that’s the irony of the song,” he explains. Since August 5th, the video has played with the same song attached, poking fun at the white individuals who started the entire fight by jumping a Black male security guard they assumed was alone until they found out differently.
Although The Wayans. Bro. star, didn’t have to address anyone; he chose to explain what was taken out of context for those that don’t understand.
(Washington, DC) — The weekend shootings in Washington, DC that left six people dead is leading a councilman to call for the National Guard to come to the Capital. Thirteen people were killed in the first five days of this month. Ward 8 DC Councilman Trayon White Senior is now calling for the National Guard’s intervention during the city’s crime surge. He said, “We must declare an emergency regarding the crime and violence in our neighborhoods and act urgently.” He says the Guard could help protect the children of DC.
Usher has finally given his two cents on the Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson relationship drama that exploded over the Fourth of July weekend after the former child star attended the singer’s Las Vegas residency and got a little too comfortable during “There Goes My Baby.”
The singer — who just wrapped the first run of his Vegas residency — sat down with PEOPLE to weigh in on matters of the heart and mused that the incident sparked a larger conversation. “I think everybody’s vision or a version of what they felt happened there just leads you back to just really having a good time in Las Vegas,” he said.
“And that’s what I hope came out of it. Rather, it was a conversation of what was going on with us having fun in front of the audience or conversation about that song.” He continued: “Every night I’m thinking about how the world now is going to react to this moment that I’ll have with whoever I’m choosing to sing to. But it was a pop moment, and it was fun to have at least conversation going and we just keep it light. I don’t see anything negative happening in Las Vegas.”
He made people dance for decades, even those with two left feet, but now the world is celebrating the life of DJ Casper, creator of the popular line dance, “Cha Cha Slide,” as his wife announced he has passed at the age of 58.
The Chicago native, who died from cancer on Monday, spoke with the local Chicago news station in May about his fame and health struggles; it was his last interview. He promised to stay positive and appreciate every moment.
He left a unifying song for all people. Initially, Casper says he didn’t think the “Cha Cha Slide” would succeed. “When I first did it, I did it as an aerobic exercise for my nephew at Bally’s,” Casper said. “From there, it just took off. Elroy Smith from WGCI grabbed ahold of it.” Casper took the song worldwide, even performing with James Brown.
He was diagnosed with kidney and liver cancer in 2016. His message: “Anybody that’s going through cancer, know that you have cancer and cancer does not have you,” Casper said. “So, keep on doing the ‘Cha Cha Slide.'”
Thoughts go out to Casper’s family, friends, and fans.
Student loan repayments will resume in October, and there are some things borrowers should know.
Interest will start accruing again beginning on September 1.
After the Supreme Court struck down his student loan forgiveness plan, President Joe Biden introduced an “on-ramp” program. The “on-ramp” program lasts for one year, and borrowers won’t be penalized for a missed, partial or late payment.
What if you skip payments?
Although your missed payments will be waived until September 30,2024, interest will accumulate during the “on-ramp” program.
According to CBS NEWS,Persis Yu, the Deputy Executive Director at The Advocacy Group Student Borrower Protection Center noted, “It’s critically necessary that we have some kind of, like, reprieve for borrowers because the reality is that most Americans’ budgets don’t have the flexibility to suddenly be making what is often hundreds of dollars of monthly payments right now.”
The SAVE Plan is also a payment option available for families based on size and income.
Research published by NIH suggests that eating protein at every meal is important for muscle protein synthesis. ‘Men’s Health’ shared ideas for high-protein breakfasts that will keep you full until your next meal.

Beyoncé made sure her fans got home from her Washington, D.C. tour stop by paying $100,000 to keep the city’s Metro stations open late.
This was announced on its website, “Due to inclement weather that may delay the start of tonight’s ‘Renaissance World Tour’ at FedExField, Metro will extend the last train by an extra hour beyond the extended closing previously announced.” They continued saying, “The additional hour will be funded by the Tour to cover the $100,000 cost to run more trains, keep all 98 stations open for customers to exit, and other operational expenses.”
The last Silver Line train toward Ashburn departed Morgan Boulevard at 1:04 a.m. instead of 11:34 p.m. Metro made trains available at transfer stations so customers aboard the final Silver Line train could rely on Metro to get them to their destinations on all lines.
The stadium where Beyoncé performed issued a shelter-in-place notice citing lightning in the area before giving fans the all-clear and allowing the show to go on.
How’s your money? Has it been a hot spending summer for you? You may have spent hundreds on the Beyonce concert or even more. Have you been wining, dining and doing whole lot of traveling? It may be time for a financial check up.

(Fairfax, VA) — A string of crimes involving ride-share drivers and vehicles has prompted Fairfax County authorities to have customers use caution before setting out. Three separate incidents have taken place this year in the county; a Bethesda, Maryland Uber driver is accused of sexually assaulting two women, while a DC Lyft driver is also accused of sexually abusing a customer in Georgetown. Riders are urged to verify the vehicle and driver, share trip details, always sit in a seat behind the driver, be aware of the route and call 9-1-1 if they feel unsafe for any reason.
(Washington, DC) — Washington, DC is under a tornado watch as severe storms are starting to hit the East and South today. The National Weather Service says there are “increasing threats” for thunderstorms and heavy rain as far south as Tennessee. Northern Alabama and Georgia into southern Ohio, West Virginia and southwest Pennsylvania are on the alert for these storms.
A fight broke out on a riverfront dock in Montgomery, Alabama, on Saturday evening over the apparent docking of a pontoon boat.
Videos show a Black man, who appears to be a dock attendant, being confronted by a group of white men before being attacked. The fight quickly spiraled out of control as other white individuals rushed the worker and began punching and kicking him while he was on the ground.
Bystanders intervened and crew members of the riverboat attempted to break up the fight, while police were in the area.
Mayor Steven L. Reed responded to the incident Sunday and said several individuals were detained and warrants were signed. The Mayor also mentioned that they promise justice and said those who choose violent actions will be held accountable. Police said that several people were detained and four active warrants were issued, with the possibility of more after investigators review additional video of the incident.
On today’s episode of “The Journey,” President Frederick talks with James Rhee, the Johnson Chair of Entrepreneurship in the Cathy Hughes School of Communications and the Senior Advisor to the Center for Women, Gender and Global Leadership.
As our campus evolves and modernizes with current times, it is essential that we explore the ways in which capitalism and technology can shape a better world for us all. For far too long, institutions like Howard University have been shut out of these conversations and that is why today’s guest and his impact on our community have been so important. On today’s episode of “The Journey,” President Frederick talks with James Rhee, the Johnson Chair of Entrepreneurship in the Cathy Hughes School of Communications and the Senior Advisor to the Center for Women, Gender and Global Leadership.
It’s one of the biggest entertainment stories in the headlines this week. Lizzo says there’s nothing to the accusations that she sexually harassed her backup dancers and created a hostile work environment. Two dancers are suing her and allege Lizzo pressured them to touch naked performers during a night out in Amsterdam, as well as called attention to one of the dancers’ weight gain. The singer called the allegations unbelievable and too outrageous not to be addressed.

(Prince George’s County, MD) — The DMV is gearing up for a big weekend at FedEx Field and it has nothing to do with the Commanders.

Carlee Russell, who called 911 to report a missing toddler walking along a busy interstate highway in Hoover, Alabama, has been charged with falsely reporting an incident and making a false statement to police.
According to the police, Russell was never kidnapped, and her lawyer issued a statement admitting to the hoax. Russell’s parents said she had to “fight for her life” to escape her kidnapper.
Prior to her alleged abduction, Russell used her phone to search for information about Amber Alerts, one-way bus tickets, and Taken, the blockbuster film starring Liam Neeson about a pair of women that are kidnapped by human traffickers.
If convicted, she could face up to a year in jail or a year of labor in the county, as well as a $6,000 fine.
Russell’s boyfriend Thomar Latrell Simmons, has since deleted a post on his Instagram that went viral partly because he described her condition as being physically dire. He later said he was “disgusted” by Russell’s kidnapping hoax.

This month, about 160,000 actors represented by SAG-AFTRA went on strike against the same studios after the union said studio management offers were “insulting and disrespectful.” The Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA are the unions representing the striking writers and actors.
The Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA are striking for increased pay and progress on residuals, particularly on streaming services. The strikes have disrupted Hollywood productions and have had a devastating effect on the industry. The companies AMPTP represents have seen drops in their stock prices, prompting cost cuts, including layoffs.
In solidarity to support the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, the people keeping these companies up and running would have to cancel subscriptions. It’s been said that of 160,000 actors represented by SAG only 1% of them qualify for the insurance program.
The writers’ strike of more than 11,000 members came after their union and the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers could not agree on issues including staffing and duration of employment on shows.

Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, has filed for divorce from Richard Lawson.
The 69-year-old went to a Los Angeles County court on Wednesday (July 16) to end their eight-year marriage, according to court documents obtained by Page Six.
Knowles separated on Tuesday, citing “irreconcilable differences”, as the reason for the split. The businesswoman isn’t seeking spousal support from the court for herself or her soon-to-be ex-husband. The couple married in 2015 after two years of dating and had no children together.

Tina was previously married to Mathew Knowles, father of Beyonce and Solange, for 31 years before they split in 2009. She credited her daughters for helping her heal from her first divorce.
