Malia Obama Shows Off Her ASS At Lollapalooza 2016!! - The Breakfast Club
If we learned anything from the 1998 Disney movie My Date with the Presidents Daughter (we learned everything), its that the life of a teenager in the White House consists of Secret Service hijinks, daddy-daughter tensions and, of course,a personalized theme songyou cant stop singing 18 years later.
The eldest first daughter decided to eschew expectations of what her duties should be and skipped theDemocratic National Conventionto enjoy the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago instead.
Malia Obamawas spotted at the Cashmere Cat set on Thursday amid a crowd of concertgoers around the same time Hillary Clinton wasmaking history as the first woman to secure a major partys presidential nomination.
The Secret Service was also in attendance to ensure the 18-year-olds safety at the festival. One Twitter user snapped a team of agents dressed in matching plaid shirts and khaki pants at the venue.
Unfortunately, some Twitter users took the opportunity to blast Malia on social media for being A COMPLETELY NORMAL TEENAGER. Cause that worked out so well last time, right?
Thankfully, the sane side of Twitter quickly clapped back at the critics to remind everyone that its perfectly fine for Malia to go to a concert of her choosing, especially after almost eight years of being in the political spotlight.
Dj Khaled - Do You Mind Ft. Chris Brown - Nicki Minaj - August Alsina - Jeremih - Rick Ross - Future
To stare at a Rolls-Royce Wraith is to know it is the great misnomer of luxury cars. There is absolutely nothing wraith-like about the solid curves of DJ Khaleds gleaming white whip, which, on this Wednesday in midtown Manhattan, purrs up to the curb and slows gawping pedestrians in their tracks. The car is simultaneously impressive and a bit ridiculous, like Khaled himself. In his capacity as impresario, producer, DJ, artist and businessman, the 40-year-old is a power-node at the centre of hip-hops universe. Since his 2006 debut Listennn... the Album, Khaled has put out seven more albums, been Grammy-nominated for his track Im On One featuring Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne, and worked with just about every other rapper you can think of.

Today, however, he is also known for being a living meme. Snapchat, the video-based social medium which remains bewildering to most people over the age of 21, has become Khaleds kingdom. On it, he broadcasts his days in real time, narrating scenes with catchphrases that are now rap lingua franca (Major key alert!; Another one!; I like that!). They evidence the banalities (breakfast) and extravagances (They dont want you on yachts!) of his lifestyle with inimitable, if unwitting comedy. Later, Khaled will tell me: My everyday language ends up just being contagious, you know what Im sayin?

Maybe thats because hes much like a motivational speaker, fond of inviting fans to ride wit me through the journey of more success. Today, on a full schedule of promo for his ninth studio album, Major Key, I get to do just that. At TV and web channel Music Choice, Khaled films the segment Wise Words, a stream of motivational messages delivered to camera. Music Choice has written him a script but it could just as well have used They Dont Want You To Win, an online quote generator that spews Khaled gems ad infinitum. In the green room, he plays back his Snaps after he makes them, his words recorded and replayed until it starts to feel like an echo chamber of bromidic brainwash.
In his tracks and on social media, Khaleds affirmations have the same all-caps hype-man urgency. Off camera, however, things are slower. Dressed in black sweatpants, hoodie and some heavy duty ice, he walks at a lilting shuffle, permanently engrossed in his phone. If someone says his name with enough force and conviction, h**l glance up and switch on a brief, dazed smile at whoever happens to be closest. In these moments he can appear faintly cross-eyed.
This is a ripe moment for slogan-spouting personalities who have levied buffoonery into bewildering heights of power consider, after all, the jokes-made-real of Boris Johnson or Donald Trump. Unlike them, though, Khaled knows what hes doing. Born Khaled bin Abdul Khaled to Palestinian parents in New Orleans, Khaled got his break on pirate radio in Miami, where hed broadcast until late, sleep on the floor for a few hours and then wake up and begin shouting into the mic again. His hustle remains just as relentless: he moved to New York last year for 12 months, just to get a verse from Jay Z for his recent single, I Got The Keys. Jay not only gave him two verses, but ended up directing the video, a montage of prison cells, stand-offs and a suited Jay, Khaled and Atlanta trap mainstay Future, shot in black and white. The biggest hip-hop star in the world is also now Khaleds manager.

This shouldnt come as a shock. Khaleds newfound social media virality may rely on absurdity he once Snapped getting lost on a jetski while whizzing back from Rick Rosss private island; recently he announced that h**l Snapchat the birth of his child in November but his career is longstanding and legitimate. Still, hes not inclined to reflect on these contradictions. I just feel like Im a music man in full form, he shrugs, because my hands on not just making the music and being part of the creative, but also putting the music out. I do it all. And in a post-Kardashian world doing it all means a total assimilation of self and brand. For Khaled, theres scant difference between shilling gum on Snapchat and getting in the studio.
It connected, everything connected, he says, during our interview in the back of the Wraith, for much of which hes glued to the phone. Obviously Ill always be putting out great music and Ive been a hard-working mogul my whole career, but now with Snapchat, it just shone more light on everything were doing. Thats what we work hard for, a light for your greatness. Since hes on his phone anyway, I ask him if he feels like doing a Snap right now, in the back of the Wraith. He shrugs again, lifts his phone, and with that, several million followers witness their man voice his support for the worlds leading liberal newspaper: Guardian... LONDON BIG UP BLESS UP!
Our next stop is Sony, where a waiting French film crew stare morosely as Khaled begins making phone calls. He mutters a request for some water. I look over to his crew, but theyre so engrossed in arranging bottles of Khaled-endorsed cognac they dont hear him. Theres a stack of water bottles beside me. I hand him one. He takes it wordlessly, without looking up from his screen. When your life is being constantly relayed to millions of fans, theres little space for other interaction.
The moment the interviews over, Khaled is pacing about on the phone once more. You gotta taste this gum, its the most amazing gum! he evangelises. I imagine the person on the other end asks him if hes serious. No Im being real! Youre gonna love it! Back in the Wraith, he looks me in the eye and says, with passion: Everything you see me promote, I love it. If somebody thinks Im selling something, just know I only represent the best.
Khaleds positivity is unwavering and, ultimately, irresistible. He maintains that his Snapchat popularity derives from just being myself and it might be this lack of self-awareness that has made him so successful beyond social media. At his Major Key playback later, the guests revealed to be on the album are testament to that: Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, Nicki Minaj, 2 Chainz, Drake, Big Sean, Nas and heaps more jostle for space. A blazing, Betty-Wright sampling soul song called Holy Key, featuring virtuosic bars from Lamar, elicits particular awe.
Between tracks, the crowd emit Khaled catchphrases as if unconsciously: major key, someone murmurs approvingly, cloth talk (a Khaledism that roughly translates to wisdom thats going to tell you how to be successful) says another. Man and meme, it seems, are one and the same. On my way to leave, when I shake his hand and tell him Ive had fun, he looks at me with total blankness. I wonder if he knows Ive been within metres of him for the last eight hours. Maybe its only that Snapchat that makes it real.
Is Kodak Black headed to prison for the next three years?
Viral rumors spread this weekend that the 19-year-old rapper had been sentenced to some serious time for the long sheet of charges hes facing, but a number of more reputable outlets have come forward to debunk the rumor and set the record straight.
Kodak Black is still in jail after his latest arrest, which came in May. He was picked up in Broward County, Florida, on charges that included armed robbery and false imprisonment, WSVN reported.
The May arrest came just a few weeks after the Pompano Beach, Florida, native was arrested for another incident in which he allegedly led police on a chase after they tried to arrest him for making a drug deal. He left that incident with charges for possession of cannabis, fleeing from officers, and possessing a weapon by a convicted felon.
So while its clear that Kodak Black is facing some serious trouble, the rumor circulating that hes been sentenced to three years in prison just isnt true. Its not exactly clear how the rumor got started, as DJ Akademiks noted that its difficult to trace it back to the source.
But DJ Akademiks was one of a handful of media personalities trying to debunk the rumor. He posted a YouTube clip calling out those who were spreading the false reports that Kodak Black was sentenced to prison.
His report can be seen below [the video contains some adult language].

While the story of Kodak Blacks legal problems are the biggest news surrounding him right now, hes still managed to make an impression as one of the most up-and-coming rappers in the industry. As MTV noted, he released a mixtape while still behind bars, one thats made a huge impression on the rap world.

Some of the tracks on the mixtape also touch on the difficulties hes had keeping out of trouble, the MTV report noted.
The fact that Kodak is in trouble with the law provides a sadly timely backdrop to the tapes best track: Letter, where he describes being in prison and reading a letter from a friend. The song could be over-sentimental, but Kodak infuses it with the levity of two pals talking s**t to each other. His friend just out of jail himself wishes Kodak the best as he keeps fighting his case, tells him how all his friends miss him, dreams of what theyll do together once hes free (I was hoping when I get out we could ride around the city), and even offers a bit of life advice (This s**t just a lesson for you, bruh, pay attention / When you get out, Kodak, just keep focus and keep spitting). Its a novel way of presenting the familiar desire to make it out of a tough situation and to keep ones head up.
Kodak Black released his first mixtape when he was 16 years old, and got his first big break two years later when Drake posted a video of himself dancing to Kodaks song Skrt. Kodak Black later signed with Atlantic Record.
And even after his latest arrest, Kodak Black racked up one of the biggest honors for a new rapper being named to XXLs Freshmen Class of 2016.

There is still a chance that the viral story claiming that Kodak Black was sentenced to prison for three years could soon have a morsel of truth. The rapper is set to go through pre-trial motions in mid-August for his upcoming trial, and until then he remains behind bars after his bond was revoked following the most recent arrest.
ATLANTA (AP) The Braves acquired pricey slugger Matt Kemp and $10.5 million from San Diego for troubled outfielder Hector Olivera.
Atlanta had tried for several months to deal Olivera following his April 13 arrest on domestic violence charges. He is eligible to play again in the major leagues on Tuesday following his 82-game domestic violence suspension. The Padres plan to designate Olivera for assignment when he comes off the restricted list Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision has not been announced.

A WARNING MESSAGE OF THE LORD ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD AND JULY 29 2016
by: c*x Media Group National Content Desk Updated: Jul 29, 2016 - 8:24 AM
NASA via Getty Images";var imageDivId = "#"+"imageDisplayModal_413775042";if ($(".reveal-modal-bg").length == 0) {$("#wrapper").after("");}if ($(imageDivId).length == 0) {$("#wrapper").after(contentText);}
They"ve been wrong in the past and hopefully they"re going to be wrong again, but a group that has predicted previous ends of the world has marked today as the day that existence will end.
End Time Prophecies said that the world will come to an end at one point today thanks to a chain reaction caused by a polar flip,Knoxville News Sentinel reported.
What is a polar flip? Is it real?
Scientists at NASA said it does exist. A polar flip has happened many times over the millennia,according to scientists . None of us were alive during the last one - 800,000 years ago. Before that, they happened every 200,000 to 300,000 years.

Basically what happens is the Earth"s magnetic pull reverses itself. The North Magnetic Pole goes south, while the South Magnetic Pole goes north thanks to the liquid iron in the Earth"s core.

So are you going to hold off buying your kid"s school supplies? You may want to think twice.
End Time Prophecies has made a few predictions this year that haven"t come true; for example, a collision between the Earth and a giant asteroid in May.
The group posted its prediction earlier this month warning Earthlings of the end of the world ina 17-minute video on YouTube. A computer-generated female voice backed up the theory with biblical quotes and some special effects, saying that the Earth will crack apart and this will coincide with the second coming of Christ.
The video has been viewed more than 5 million times.
Malia Obama looks like shes been having a blast at Lollapalooza music festival this weekend in her hometown of Chicago, Ill.
The 18-year-old daughter of President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama was seen checking out different performances with her friends and was even spotted shaking her booty on stage during Mac Millers set!
