Rare Photos Of Famous People + Places + Things

Image
Deep inside I'm a geek for anything cool, new and learned. I simply get invested in things I don't know or better yet things I crave to know. The below photos are like the best of both worlds for me. Not only are they cool but they capture things I didn't know I wanted to know. Check out some images to see if you agree. Muhammad Ali talking someone out of jumping - 1981 Audrey Hepburn shopping with her pet deer, Ip, in Beverly Hills, CA -1958. President FDR's funeral in 1945 Cameramen recording the lion roar for the MGM logo Elton John at the piano bar aboard his private plane - 1976 Queen Elizabeth during her WWII service. Steve Jobs sitting with Bill Gates discussing the future of computing in 1991. The first Walmart store opened in 1962 Golden Gate bridge construction - 1937 Howard Carter, an English archaeologist, examining the opened sarcophagus of King Tut. Mt Rushmore construction - 19

Mariah Carey Opts For NYC Public Transportation After Gala

Image
Mariah Carey stunned NYC train riders (as she made them relocate to a different car... probably ) when she decked out in a pageant esque Versace gown, Jermaine Dupri and BET exec Stephen Hill caught the subway after Carey hosted the Fresh Ar Fund Gala last night. This little  photo opt   public transportation outing could have been a home run had their actually seemed like people were aboard the train and Mimi had her look together. I don't care if she's in a Man Up Above gown and how many diamonds she's rocking this woman looks as if she's retaining fluid while being a bit over the top whacked out her mind. But what else is new? Where is Nick Cannon when you really need him? Mariah needs a gym membership and a healthy hobby. Photos: Instagram

SPOTTED: Jay Z In NYC

Image
A tanned Jay Z was spotted yesterday strolling into his NYC office. The rapper was decked out in urban gear while looking rather focused on his entrance into the building while bystanders barely bothered him. Is Jay gym motivation material? His slim physique and tan make me want to hit the gym AND beach!!

Sooooo...what's this I hear about Jennifer's man Casper talking to a transgender woman ? If you like ' First Love ' be sure to pick up Jenny's new album A.K.A. June 17.

K. Michelle vs Perez Hilton

Image
Soooo K. Michelle tried to pop slick subliminally in reference to Iggy Azaela 's dialect via Twitter. Perez Hilton called K. Michelle out for hating and then a brief Twitter war incited. This is what happens when you don't have your own business to mind. It gets better... The comebacks weren't as good as I expected from a gay guy and a messy chick. Perez for the win simply because he was right. Scoop: B. Scott

Williams Sisters Defeated At French Open

Image
Oh, NO...say it ain't so!! Both sisters?!! Yep, both tennis greats Venus and Serena Williams on yesterday fell to the demise of their opponents during the French Open. Serena, the French Open's defending champ, lost in the second round to  Garbine Muguruza  of Spain. Sister Venus also was defeated yesterday by  Anna Schmiedlova of Slovakia  just before her sister played her disappointing match. The two sisters were expected by many to make it to the end for a Williams vs. Williams match. This setback for the Williams sisters just may be affording them the opportunity for a mega comeback. You can't win 'em all. With that said, I congratulate the Williams sisters on their successes and the history they've made over the years and I believe for many years to come. They're still champs in my eyes...black girls rock!!

JoJo Simmons Tries To Make It Happen...Again.

Image
This dude isn't that bad as a rapper...I've heard far worst get more airplay. But circumstances surrounding JoJo 's personal  life, including his brother Diggy 's career, has almost fogged any chances of anyone taking him seriously as a lyricist. Maybe producing would be a great start for JoJo...whatever happened to Team Blackout ? Anywho, I give the dude the credit for not giving up. Hell, prove me wrong!!

Kendall Jenner Buys $1.4 Million Apartment

Image
Must be nice... Kendall Jenner , now 18-years-old,  has finally landed her own pad. Yep, the reality show heir has reportedly purchased a million dollar LA apartment all for her lonesome. This can be viewed as a joyous moment and a start to breaking the cycle for Kendall. She's always wanted to get out of her mother's home and in my honest opinion from watching the show her reasoning didn't seem as if it were only to be without parental guidance. Now if I were her I wouldn't let Kylie Jenner and the grunge crew come over to mock shit all up...nope!! Must be nice...and YES, I'm hatin'!! As if passing down Rob's apartment wouldn't suffice or tricking out the attic or basement at HOME!! According to TMZ : We've learned Kendall is now the proud owner of a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath condo in a high-rise building near Westwood ... with a jetliner view of L.A. She paid $1,399,000, and got a $910,000 mortgage. Kris Jenner is liste

(CNN)  -- Maya Angelou, a renowned poet, novelist and actress whose work defied description under a simple label, has died, her literary agent, Helen Brann, said Wednesday.

The free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wings in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky. But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with fearful trill of the things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill  for the caged bird sings of f
