New Palace x Ralph Lauren Collection


The Palace x Ralph Lauren collection has felt like one super huge and guarded secret that we couldn’t wait for someone to spill the beans on. Alas, we now have a full look at the monumental collaboration and it’s everything we could’ve hoped for.

Drake Buys Rights To New Show

Drake's relationship with the British underground scene has been a very fruitful one for not only himself but for many of the U.K. grime artists he's worked with such as Skepta, among many others. Now, he's pushing further with the news that he's recently bought the rights to the London-based drama, "Top Boy."

The Toronto rapper not only intends to own the show but to also play a starring role. Being a longtime fan of Top Boy, he expressed his love as a fan for the hit series over the years with various shout outs in raps like "Know Yourself", and even tweeted about it before, saying "@AshleyWalters82 is too incredible!! Everybody on Top Boy gives such incredible performances. That show is just too good."

He purchased the show after it was dropped by Channel 4 and was picked up by Netflix.

Ashley Walters, who plays Dushane on the show tells The Daily Mirror that the producers intend on making him a "significant" character.

"We met up to start talking about the show and we are working out a role for him," he said. "He loves acting, of course he wanted a part. He's going to be really hands on and is getting stuck into it.

The rapper has maintained his acting chops occasionally with various, but memorable Saturday Night Live appearances and his extended music videos and short films such "Hold On We're Going Home", "Jungle", "Please Forgive Me" and several cameos in films like Think Like A Man Too, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, and Ice Age: Continental Drift. He has yet to play a significant character in a television show or movie since his "Degrassi" days.

Young Thug Named The Real Life Gangstalicious

Young Thug’s sexual orientation has been one of fascination to both his fans and detractors for quite some time. Thug, born Jeffrey Williams, habitually, and with a supreme sense of I-don’t-give-a-f**kness, indulges in behavior that many in the hip-hop community have seen fit to deem “sus.” For example, he has a fondness for calling his closest friends “hubby,” and also recently shared that around 90 percent of his wardrobe is comprised of women’s clothing. Of course none of these things are indicative of Thug’s sexuality or gender identity, and by his own admission, there should be no question that he identifies as a heterosexual male. Nevertheless, his gratuitous displays of affection towards his male friends, and unfettered love of blouses and skinny jeans, have managed to generate substantial dispute.

 Last week, producers London on da Track and Beatmonster Marc, who are affiliates of Thug, added fuel to the fire when they suddenly found themselves embroiled in a gay porn scandal. During a studio session that allegedly included Thug and rappers Kid Ink and Tyga, Marc posted an Instagram video intended to showcase the crew hard at work. The innocent recording quickly attracted the biting commentary of idle twitter fingers when a few keen eyes noticed what appeared to be a bit of male-on-male action taking place on an oversized television screen.

The conclusion many jumped to was that the group had been participating in some sort of group Netflix and chill scenario that had somehow turned 50 shades of homoerotic. Marc quickly refuted the claims, stating they had simply been watching Game of Thrones, which to be fair, has been known to feature its fair share of same-sex loving.

However, given the curiosity surrounding Young Thug’s sexuality, some took the incident as confirmation that Thug was indeed hiding his true preferences. Even if he is, that is of course his right and prerogative. However, that is only one possibility. Another is that Young Thug is simply so comfortable being Young Thug that heteronormative gender distinctions mean nothing to him.
It all combines to make Young Thug something of an anomaly to many. In the same way Riley was forced to reevaluate his perceptions of masculinity and its role in hip-hop, those who come into contact with Young Thug often subconsciously or consciously do the same. With each new outfit or Instagram post, Thug manages to incite debate around what is acceptable as a man, and as a hip-hop artist; he’s also unintentionally (or intentionally) made people question what these supposed acceptable patterns of behavior even have to do with an artist’s ability to make music (nothing, really). And despite, or maybe because of his non-conformist attitude, Thug is successful.

Seeing Thug blur and at times flat out erase the lines of what many perceive as appropriate masculine behavior, and in turn seeing the confusion it causes, is like watching an episode of the The Boondocks play out in reality. But instead of desperately clinging to the status quo in order hide a secret like Gangstalicious, Thug gleefully flouts the status quo. The outcome is still the same in that both the ficitional Gangstalicious and the very real Young Thug cause people to question pre-conceieved notions about gender and sexuality.

Madonna Says Michael Jackson Is Innocent


Madonna has broken her silence on the sexual abuse allegations against Michael Jackson, saying her one-time music rival is “innocent until proven guilty.” Madonna said she hadn’t seen the film, and that she didn’t want to take the claims at face value.

“I don’t have a lynch-mob mentality, so in my mind, people are innocent until proven guilty,” she said in the interview, excerpts of which were published Tuesday in The Independent. “I’ve had a thousand accusations hurled at me that are not true. So my attitude when people tell me things about people is, ‘Can you prove it?”

“So I always say, ‘What’s the agenda? What do people want out of this? Are there people asking for money, is there some kind of extortion thing happening?’” she added. “I would take all of those things into consideration.”

Madonna’s comments on Michael Jackson are similar to those of another female pop icon. In March, Barbra Streisand apologized after she appeared to sympathize with Jackson in a Times of London interview and said Robson and Safechuck “were thrilled to be there.”

A Story Of Sexual Regrets


All men and women have a lot of regrets. Every aspect of life is often filled with regrets – some big, some small and others negligible but still very much present. It was revealed that it is the women who regret more after a sexual experience that is casual. About 50% of the women thought that they had taken the ‘move’ too early. In contrast, men were found to lament about a failure in bedding a higher number of partners.

Two people, Linda Kelsey and Ron Marx share their honest journey about their sexual lives. The former, aged 61 is a writer and the latter, aged 59 is an osteopath. Herein they share their respective stories to The Daily Mail. Linda reveals one of her experiences with a handsome barrister. Just after two dates, she had agreed to accompany the hunk to Paris to spend the weekend. His hot physique got Linda in an adventurous mood. Further, she was a single lady in her late twenties and there was nothing at all that would stop her. Sexual revolution had had its impact. Working for the Cosmopolitan magazine was another aspect driving her passion.

Paris is one city known for its romantic atmosphere – here she was with her charm and still she felt she would have been better off alone in her flat back in London. The realization had come that she did not suit the casual sex genre. Regardless of good looks, she could not feel a sexual high with somebody whom she did not like much. Linda realized that emotional attachment was necessary for love-making – if the act can be termed so.

Ron ran into a woman whom he had not even seen for about 35 years. She was known to Ron as a teenager – but vaguely. She felt Ron was a good looking arrogant guy. Ron was a shy person with girls who never considered him too attractive. This lady revealed to Ron that he could have got any girl if he wanted to, but Ron was different. He had lost his virginity to his girlfriend – both of them 16 years old at that time. Till 20 he had been faithful to her despite seeing each other just twice a year. There were plenty of charming girls all around but Ron resisted all temptation. This relationship eventually met an end and then the next love affair lasted one whole year. He then met another lady whom he married five years later.

One-night stands also took place with women whom Rom met online. He began to enjoy what he was missing all this while in life. He wanted to rid himself of sexual regrets. Ron’s life was revitalized and he felt more energetic. He was now enjoying the sex life that he so much wanted when he was much younger. Ron’s friends who were themselves married for long began to envy him – finally.

SiX - OOOUUU Remix


With a true passion for story telling and lyricism, London’s very own “SiX” has cemented himself as a true “narrator for the younger generation”. With pure honesty and transparency, he takes you into his world, sharing life through his eyes, with the hopes that people relate to his struggles and together are inspired. 

WHY YOU SHOULD MASTER THE ART OF STORYTELLING

New York being his second home has allowed him to soak up culture from both sides of the Atlantic and these influences are evident in his flows, rhyming patterns and in his over all Hip-Hop style. With his street narrative perspective he believes, people’s struggles, once shared, are halved and this is the cornerstone of his brand and the legacy he hopes to leave behind. “Mavro” is the team; “All Black Always” is the motto.

Fifty Shades Of Grey Director Raided

The London home of Fifty Shades of Grey director Sam Taylor-Johnson and her husband, Kick-Ass and Godzilla star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, was raided by armed police Thursday after a machine gun was spotted through a window by a passer-by.

According to a local newspaper, residents in the upmarket Primrose Hill area were woken by police surrounding the property late Thursday evening. The couple were not present at the time. The gun was eventually confirmed by the police to be a decommissioned M16 assault rifle.

“Police were called at 23:40 hours on Thursday by a member of the public, reporting that they had seen from the street, what they thought was a firearm, sitting on a desk by the window of a property,” said a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police. “Local officers and officers from the Met’s Firearms Unit attended and were let into the property to examine the firearm. It was confirmed that the firearm was a deactivated M16 rifle.”

“The firearm was located in Sam Taylor-Johnson’s basement studio and has been confirmed as a certified and fully decommissioned M16 assault rifle that was provided to Mrs. Taylor-Johnson by the international charity Peace One Day as part of an art project entitled ‘Peace One Day M16.’ ”

What The Ban on Cigarettes Mean

 


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving forward with plans to ban menthol cigarettes and all flavored cigars—policies that agency officials say could help prevent some of the roughly 500,000 U.S. deaths linked to tobacco each year.


“The actions we are proposing can help significantly reduce youth initiation and increase the chances that current smokers quit,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said in a statement. “It is clear that these efforts will help save lives.”

Amazon To Start Selling Groceries


Some reports suggest that the online giant retailer is going to build real corner stores to sell food products in order to further expand into the grocery marketAmazon has grown into a $400bn company in the 22 years since its founding by multibillionaire Jeff Bezos in 1994. Now the company is reportedly going to build convenience stores and drive-through locations for customers to pick up their groceries ordered online. The company itself refused to comment on the rumors, which would follow its launch of a physical bookshop in Seattle last year. By the way, bookshops will also reportedly open in 4 other locations across the US.

According to speculations, the brick and mortar stores will be designed for customers signed up to Amazon Fresh food delivery service. The latter is currently available for $15 a month on top of Amazon Prime’s $99 annual fee. Amazon has been offering its Fresh food delivery service in a number of locations across the United States since 2007 and now is rapidly expanding the service. For example, new cities across the United States were added: the service isalready available in its home Seattle, New York, Washington, Boston, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Stamford, Baltimore and California.

Amazon has also gone international in grocery delivery: this past summer the company launched outside of the United States for the first time and started offering grocery delivery in north and east London. Amazon Prime members can get this service in the United Kingdom for extra £6.99 per month. Financial experts report that Amazon collected annual sales of more than $100bn in 2015 – more than double the amount it could get just 4 years earlier. Amazon’s net income totaled $600m.

The Most Rat-Infested Home Video

1 in 9 privately-rented homes in England has problems with rats, mice or cockroaches - according to housing charity Shelter. They asked 3,700 tenants about their living conditions and almost half said they had endured mould, damp or electrical hazards in the past year.

Shelter wants the government to do more to protect renters from rogue landlords. Anna Adams went to north east London to visit Ruth Edmans who said she had problems with rats, dangerous sockets and other issues. Her landlord told us he had been unable to carry out work while tenants were there and he was working with the council to start remedial works.
