Brad Pitt is Pensive in New “Fury” Poster & Trailer: 
We’re still a few months away from the release of “Fury,” and in the meantime a new promotional poster featuring Brad Pitt has hit the web.
The “Fight Club” hunk looks a bit downtrodden and deep in thought, outfitted in his authentic World War II garb and gazing at the ground.
And with a tagline that states, “War Never Ends Quietly,” it seems “Fury” promises to pack a punch thanks to a cast that includes Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Pena and Jon Bernthal.


Per the synopsis, “As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and out-gunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy



LeBron James Exercise Early Termination From the Miami Heat, Becoming Free Agent
Although the talented basketball player has had a pretty successful run with the Miami, winning three consecutive championships (until their tragic championship defeat by the San Antonio Spurs a couple weeks ago), LeBron has decided to opt out of his contract with the team, making him a free agent by the summer.
James’ agent, Rich Paul, made the announcement Tuesday morning to the shock of many.

What does this all mean? James will not only forfeit the $20,590,000 he was set to earn in 2014-15 if he opted in, but, also the remainder of his guaranteed salary on a six-year, $110 million contract he signed back in 2010, which equates to roughly $42.7 million.

But it doesn’t mean that James’ future with the Miami Heat is in total danger. He still has until June 30th to make an official decision.

All bets are on LeBron remaining in Miami, however. With his wife’s pregnancy (the couple is expecting their third child this year) and a new Juice Bar she’s opened in Miami, it’s not likely the athlete is setting his sites on a new city.



Omarion And Girlfriend Apryl Jones Celebrate Baby Shower In L.A.
Omarion planted a big kiss on his girlfriend Apryl Jones‘ baby belly, while celebrating their baby shower in L.A. over the weekend. The mommy-to-be rock’d a custom Haus of Milani gown; sheer with floral detail.
“This is a moment that I’ll look back on, my child will look back on and say damn, that was dope,” the excited crooner told VIBE while discussing how he and Apryl made the announcement of their pregnancy.
Catch a few more pics of the couple at the shower with Haus of Milani designer, and hip hop/entertainment blogger, Karen Civil below.
The couple shared the news of their baby on the way back in February, with O posting a video of an ultrasound and accompanying message, while Apryl posted a message of her own. He added; “I can’t really explain the type of emotions that I feel. I don’t even know how to explain it!”

Michael Starhan heard that actor/comedian Kevin Hart donated $15,000 to Texas Southern’s ”Ocean of the Soul” Marching Band and decided to add another $100,000 to the cause. Yes black men are giving of their time and money to help HBCU’s. It’s a great look.
Texas Southern University’s Ocean of the Soul Marching Band has been working hard trying to raise money to get to NYC to perform for the Kelly & Michael Show. Actor/comedian Kevin Hart learned of the band’s efforts and donated $15,000. The actor was impressed by the band’s initiative and decided to help them reach their goals. Michael Strahan heard about Tuskegees’ desire to get to NYC he decided to bless the band with $100,000.
How cool is that?
Kevin Hart and Michael Strahan is winning these days. They say giving is the gateway to getting the life that you want. Michael Strahan is winning when it comes to TV with his gigs with Good Morning America & The Kelly and Michael Show. Kevin Hart is killing it in the movie arena. ‘Think Like A Man Too’ was first place in the box office last weekend and made $30 million opening weekend.

Kudos to the big homie!

R. Kelly tells radio host when asked if he’d like to address the topic that
“I know, but don’t even give the blogs that kind of credit. But as far as that’s concerned, always believe what you see—with your own eyes that is. That’s the best way to go about this business I’ve heard a lot of things about a lot of people and it was never true.”

“Even when you see it with your own eyes, you gotta know that there’s a backstory. It’s a background, that’s why you can’t judge nobody.”

R. Kelly says you can not judge people, And that he does not address dumb (sh*t)

Jhené Aiko Rocks VIBE's Summer 2014 Issue
VIBE says Jhené Aiko is the millennial's modern-day Sade.  So they gave her the second cover of their Summer 2014 issue (the fellas Mack Wilds, August Alina and Ed Sheeran have the first).
Check it

Hipster/gypsy Jhené Aiko says her style is "not loud, I blend in"...but she's no stranger to popping off on haters who criticize her singing skills.  But she loves some good floral added to her look, doesn't she?

On songs about killing her ex lovers, like on "The Worst"
“I’ve never killed a guy, and I’ve never went to jail, but those are the things I have to get out of my head some way,” she says. “It’s writing a song and then turning my crazy thoughts into those moments where I’m like, I could really do that, but I’m not going to.”
On her real-life love style
She once gave a guy flowers from Walgreens (“He was like, ‘You’re making me feel like a bitch.’ He liked it, though.”) The biggest splurge gift: a boat ride, at $200 per hour, for a day-time excursion that she references on “Comfort Inn Ending (Freestlye),” singing: “I should’ve never fucked you on a boat on your birthday.”

On comparing her style and collabo partner Drake's style
“Drake’s a conversation with a woman on a level of honesty,” says producer No I.D., who signed Jhené to his Def Jam imprint, Artium, in 2011. “Jhené represents the woman who talks to herself and deals with the good, the bad, the happy, the sad, the spiritual and the ghetto.”

On preferring vapors or papers over blunts for the occasional stress reliever
“Everyone’s [singing] about weed now, ‘cause that’s the ‘in’ thing to do. I’m like ‘Do you even smoke?’” says Jhené, without singling anyone out. “You can tell when it’s contrived. You don’t have to do it. Talk about what you do.”
On her self-proclaimed "hood rat behavior"
Doing hood rat things was part of Jhené and her best friend Tynetta’s agenda. In fourth grade, they took a midnight Metrolink bus ride to Compton—“I told everyone about it. I felt so brave,” says Jhené. She gradually smartened up and later realized she was a lightweight after downing a whole bottle of brandy with two friends while one of their moms weren’t home. She woke up to vomit in the sheets. “I just remember having a ridiculous conversation, being loud,” says Jhené. “I probably had a hangover for the next two days. Until this day, I can't drink brandy.”

Pretty pics.  Check out the full cover story over at VIBE.
