The CDC and FDA are currently putting the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 on ice. In a joint statement, the two entities recommended a “pause” citing an “abundance of caution.”

Six reported U.S. cases of a rare type of blood clot occurred in individuals after they received the vaccine. The six cases were out of a total of 6.8 million doses. Those affected were women between as young as the age of 18.

“CDC will convene a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) on Wednesday to further review these cases and assess their potential significance,” the FDA’s Dr. Peter Marks and the CDC’s Dr. Anne Schuchat said in their joint statement. “FDA will review that analysis as it also investigates these cases. Until that process is complete, we are recommending a pause in the use of this vaccine out of an abundance of caution.”

After the game, Nuggets coach Mike Malone addressed the media.

“As of right now, obviously very down locker room,” Malone said. “…No definitive answer right now. We will wait for the imaging and go from there.

“Some of the [assistant] coaches said when they watched the replay it looked like he hyperextended it. He just came back [from a right..

Reggie Miller spent his entire NBA career with the Indiana Pacers and it appears he never taught about playing for another team.

Miller was one of three former stars interviewed by ESPN’s Nick Friedell for a story on Steph Curry, who has spent his entire career with the Warriors. The other former players interviewed for the story were Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks) and Jerry West (Lakers) who spent their entire careers with one team.

In the interview, Friedell asked the men whether they would have considered playing elsewhere or if they were recruited by another star. Miller had a great response.

“No. And if Michael Jordan ever would have called me and tried to sway me to come to Chicago, I would have told him to go f— himself! ‘I’ll be coming to see you on I-65 or whatever that highway is there. I’ll be down to see you,’” Miller told Friedell. “I never came close to going anywhere else.”

Miller is from an era in which team hoping wasn’t the normal thing to do as it is now of days. Righ..

Many fans, critics, and even crewmates have given their tearful ode to DMX, but no one’s story is as vivid and heart-breaking as X’s wife of fourteen years; Tashera Simmons. The “Fab 50” female Simmons gave an emotional tribute for her 50th birthday, which fell on April 10th, the day after The Dog took his last breath.

Simmons first met her rapper ex-husband, DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, at age 11. Both of them were raised in Yonkers, N.Y, and when she turned 18, they began dating. The couple were married in 1998 and have four children together. Simmons and DMX appeared on Season One of VH1’s Couples Therapy in 2012, the same year she filed for divorce.

Beloved rapper/actor/philanthropist DMX passed away last Friday at the tender age of 50.
After a week-long battle in the hospital, family, friends—and the entire hip hop community said goodbye to the New York rapper.

It’s difficult to write about someone that the world is attached to artistically when you know the person’s heart and kindness surpasses their own talent. In 2019, I wrote about my friendship with Dark Man X. When someone passes, you immediately think of moments, conversations and experiences you’ve shared with them. Anyone who’s met Earl Simmons can relate but if you’ve spent time with him—you definitely have a story or ten.

When I first heard about his passing, these moments came to mind. All before the fame. From the two of us always trekking through Harlem on foot, to driving down 125th while he tells me his plan to take over the world. From him rapping on the street in the back of the Mart 125 to standing next to him in the booth while he laid vocals that would late..

Hollywood icon and Academy Award Winner Halle Berry, recently ignited Twitter when she responded to star, Keke Palmer’s tweet with “Baby, that’s KeKe Palmer.”

My granny was such a vibe in the 1940’s pic.twitter.com/PhUA7n9idx
— Keke Palmer (@KekePalmer) April 8, 2021

Berry’s response is interesting but two fold. First is a new Twitter trend where tweeters edit photos with a vintage filter adding a fake but comedically intended, historic familial fact. Keke Palmer used a photo of herself with a classic sepia filter and added the caption, “My granny was such a vibe in the 1940s.”

Other users hopped on the bandwagon in true viral fashion where one tweeter took a picture of Kim Kardashian losing her earring on Keeping Up with the Kardashians in the ocean and flipped and bounced it … The caption read that his great-grandmother was rescued from the Titanic. Kind of funny IMO.

The second way Berry lit up the internet in the same tweet is when a user used the sam..
