Reebok has officially given Rick Ross the boot.The company announced Thursday that it is parting ways with the Miami rapper after weeks of controversy surrounding his U.O.E.N.O. date rape lyrics. In the song, Ross states, “Put molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it/ I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know,” causing an uproar among listeners. The decision comes just a week after Ross’ half-assed Twitter apology in which he said he doesn’t condone rape and was sorry for “the lyric interpreted as rape.” Women’s rights group UltraViolet was a vital piece in bringing down the “boss,” collecting nearly 100,000 signatures for their Drop Rick Ross petition while staging a protest outside of Reebok’s New York flagship store. Ross has yet to comment on the announcement.

He’s in the hospital for the second time in three days. This man is clearly having a health crisis. And an intervention seems like a crucial step…Yes. Intervention. [See & Read More]

She’s stunning, even in sweats. But Leilani Burkhead’s got her work cut out for her. It’s 9 p.m. on a weeknight, time to hit the stage at Atlanta’s Magic City strip club. She slips out of her sweats and half-jokingly mumbles something about getting geared up to work the room. It’s an about-face from a few years ago when money rained down on dancers at this and other Atlanta adult-entertainment clubs like free-flowing Dom Perignon. Like the rest of the economy, adult dance clubs feel the pinch. The sluggish economy and closer police scrutiny have put about a dozen out of business in the past decade. And the regular patrons aren’t so regular anymore. [See & Read More]
