Grammy-Nominated Rapper, Nipsey Hussle, Shot Dead in Los Angeles

Nipsey Hussle, a Grammy-nominated rapper just this past year, was shot dead outside of his own clothing boutique in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon.

He was 33 years old.

A multitude of insiders told TMZ and NBC News that the artist was among three victims struck by bullets in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, with the LAPD writing the following Tweet:

"At approximately 3:20 pm there was a shooting reported in the area of Slauson Ave and Crenshaw Blvd. 3 victims were transported to a local hospital where one was pronounced deceased."

The incident took place outside of the Marathon Store he opened back in 2017.

It wasn't immediately known whether Hussle, whose real name is Ermias Ashgedom, had survived the shooting, as all three victims were taken to a local hospital and two were listed in stable condition.

(Police said a male suspect fled by car and, as of this writing, had not yet been apprehended.)

However, NBC News has now Tweeted that Hussle has, indeed, been prounounced dead.

The outlet quotes "multiple law enforcement sources" in making this statement, as you can see below:

Right before being killed, Hussle appeared to acknowledge some sort of beef or feud, Tweeing the following just a few hours ago:

Having strong enemies is a blessing.

The rapper hails from the Crenshaw area of California and has been rumored to possess ties to the Crips.

But TMZ notes that he's made music with both YG and The Game, both of whom have been ties to Bloods; having gang ties of any kind, it ought to be noted, is pure speculation at this point.

We cannot say for certain if these affiliations exist or if they played any role in Hussle's murder.

(UPDATE: TMZ now writes with confidence that the homicide WAS gang-related, stating that the shooter walked right up to Hussle and shot him on the street; he then ran to a waiting vehicle.)

Hussle's debut studio album, "Victory Lap," was nominated for Best Rap Album at this year's Grammy Awards. (He lost out to Cardi B in this category.)

Prior to this release, he had come out with numerous mixtapes over the course of a decade-long career.

In September of 2018, gunfire also rang out nearby Hussle's clothing store. But he was not around at that time.

The rapper and actress Lauren London are the parents of a two-year-old child; he has another kid from a previous relationship.

As the sad word spread that Hussle had been shot, numerous performers and athletes, including LeBron James, 50 Cent and Steph Curry, quickly tweeted best wishes.

Wrote Curry, prior to learning that the star was dead: God please cover and restore @NipseyHussle right now!!

And 50 Cent: Thoughts and prayers for @NipseyHussle

James. meanwhile, simply included a series of exclamation points after tagging Hussle's Twitter handle.

Drake, for his emotional part, wrote this on Instagram after Hussle was confirmed to have passed:

F-ck. My whole energy is just at a low right now hearing this. We just linked for the first time in years and said we were gonna do a new song this summer cause it had been too long.

You were having the best run and I was so happy watching from distance fam nobody ever talks down on your name you were a real one to your people and to the rest of us. I’m only doing this here cause I want the world to know I saw you as a man of respect and a don.

Rest easy my g.

May Nipsey Hussle rest in peace.

UPDATE: TMZ and many other outlets have also confirmed Hussle's death.

Meek Mill has said the loss "broke me," writing on social media:

"We really fighting for our lives against our own kind and really have to take risk and match the level of hatred that we are born in .. I'm tired. prayers for my brother and his family."

Pharrell Williams tweeted:

“You were about something..positive and for your community in every chance you had to speak..and because of that You inspired millions..millions who will uphold your legacy forever. rest amongst the stars.”

Rihanna first posted this photo of Nipsey and his daughter...

... and then wrote as a caption:

"This doesn’t make any sense! My spirit is shaken by this! Dear God may His spirit Rest In Peace and May You grant divine comfort to all his loved ones!

"I’m so sorry this happened to you @nipseyhussle."

We send our condolences to his friends, loved ones and relatives.

Game of Thrones season 8 news: Kit Harington films ‘gruelling’ finale amid battle promise

GAME OF THRONES fans still have a while to go before season eight arrives on screen and as filming rumbles on, it seems it may be taking its toll on one of the show’s main stars.

Game of Thrones hero Jon Snow (played by Kit Harington) is sure to play a big role in the upcoming episodes.

However, as filming continues on the HBO hit, it seems the schedule is incredibly demanding on the 31-year-old actor.

As he spoke to The Sydney Morning Herald about his BBC hit, Gunpowder, which will soon air in Australia, it seemed all eyes were on what he had to say about Game of Thrones.

Naturally, Kit remained tight-lipped on the matter, choosing only to discuss the physical act of filming.

The newspaper noted he was “audibly wearing” during the interview as he had just finished a long day on Game of Thrones.



Kit admitted: “It was a gruelling day, I’m not going to lie.”

And previous to this, showrunner Dan Weiss promised it would be tiring for Kit.

He has teased in the past the actor would have to be in his best shape possible for season eight.

“Gonna be swinging that sword a lot,” the producer giggled.

With Kit finding himself tired by the new series, does that suggest Jon will survive until the very end?

The actor's overtime rate if filming exceeds planned dates is $4,333 per day, according to the contract that must be filed in court since he's age 15.

The contract also states that Stranger Things has top priority if The Goldfinch filming runs into production of the Netflix series.


Finn and his Stranger Things co-stars recently received pay increases of $250,000 per episode of season three.

Millie Bobby Brown, 14, reportedly will make $350,000 per episode.

he Originals: Joseph Morgan and Julie Plec Weigh in on "Klaroline" Courtesy: tvguide.com

The kickoff of The Originals final season is just around the corner, and it's chock full of moments we've been dying to see since the Season 4 finale.

We'll see how Freya (Riley Voelkel) and Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) have been managing the supernatural community in the French Quarter. We'll see how Rebekah (Claire Holt), Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) and Klaus (Joseph Morgan) have been dealing with their separation. But most importantly, we'll see Klaus' reunion with an old love of his, Caroline Forbes (Candice King).

To give us the scoop on Caroline's long-awaited crossover, we went straight to the source, creator and executive producer Julie Plec.

"I've always loved the very strange and layered dynamic between Klaus and Caroline. I mean, it has been vengeful, it has been destructive, it has been evil, it has been weirdly warm, and it showed a side of Klaus and his humanity that we never thought he had," Plec said. "I certainly would never tell you where we're going to go with Klaus and Caroline because somebody would kill me or I would maim myself for spoiling it, but it is a nice relationship that they have after all these years because Caroline is one of the few people outside of Klaus' family that can actually speak a straight truth to him, and he needs that. It is a friendship of honesty and a little bit of antagonism and some pretty good advice."

In the Season 5 premiere, Caroline will use that advice as an attempt to knock some much needed sense into Klaus where his daughter is concerned. Even after five years apart (or wait, has it been 15... yikes, timelines are confusing for immortals) its safe to say the bond between these two characters is still very much there.

Candice King, The Originals
Candice King, The Originals
The question of the hour is whether that chemistry will translate into a romance this year. It's the final season, after all, which means happily ever afters are officially on the table.

"She's on the show for the final season for a number of episodes, and we have a bunch of scenes together," Joseph Morgan told TV Guide. "Not everyone is going to be satisfied because there's no way that we could ever satisfy everyone, I think, but I'm certainly satisfied with the ending that those characters have, and I hope it pays tribute to the investment that people have made in them."

There are definitely quite a few fans who have invested a lot in the couple over the years, that's for sure!

The Originals: What Has Everyone Been Doing During the Time Jump?

Unfortunately, if you're hoping for a dramatic, all-consuming love affair between this duo in Season 5, you might be one of the people Morgan expects will be disappointed. Plec hinted that while there is certainly a deep connection between Klaus and Caroline in Season 5, it's safer not to expect a passionate love story.

"Klaus has had very few loves in his life, and the feelings he had for Caroline have always lingered in the back of his mind," Plec said. "And of course anybody who's a fan of The Vampire Diaries knows that she lost her own husband and she's been through many rollercoasters in her life as well. I wouldn't say that these star-crossed lovers get to collide and live happily ever after - one, I wouldn't say that because I don't want to spoil anything - but two, I think that their relationship is more mature than that at this point. They've got a lot to learn from each other before we even see where that could go."

The Originals returns Wednesday, April 18 at 9/8c on The CW.

The Walking Dead star explains why their character had to die in latest dramatic episode: Courtesy Digital Spy

Warning: This article contains MAJOR spoilers for The Walking Dead season 8 episode 15 'Worth'. You have been warned.

The all-out war claimed another casualty in the penultimate episode of The Walking Deadseason eight, as Negan showed who's boss.

In a dramatic episode, the Saviors leader killed his unpredictable lieutenant Simon in a one-versus-one, no weapons fight to the death to determine the group's leadership.

Steven Ogg, who played Simon for two seasons, said that despite his character undermining Negan's orders on multiple occasions (including what happened at Oceanside), he was actually showing respect to Negan by having their brutal brawl.

To Simon, he had been growing disillusioned with Negan's leadership and wanted to take action.

A few episodes ago, for example, Simon took control of the Saviors group attacking Hilltop rather than searching for Negan, who was in danger.

"I don't think it's necessarily like a power thing with Simon or like he's got to take over from Negan," Ogg explained. "I don't think it was that. It's just he stepped up and decided to do things his way."

"They had tried with Negan all these things and nothing had happened.

"It wasn't about going against Negan so much as just doing his own thing, and going back and asking for forgiveness."

Back in August, Ogg – promoting the eighth season – hinted that people would die and the herd would be 'thinned'. It turns out that he was also teasing his own character's death!

But that was not a case with resilient and beautiful star Angelina Jolie. You may not believe that here present look is the result of a cosmetic procedure for breast augmentation in Dubai, after having adouble mastectomy.

Angelina’s decision for having a double mastectomy was considered a proactive decision. What led her to this decision? The doctors told her that she had high probability risk factor of having breast cancer in future. So she decided to remove both breasts in order to reduce any risk of occurrence of cancer.

When was Carl Grimes bitten on The Walking Dead and did he die in season 8 episode 8? Courtesy THE SUN UK

THE SUN UK REVEALS : When was Carl Grimes bitten on The Walking Dead and did he die in season 8 episode 8? Courtesy THE SUN UK

Find out what happens to this beloved original character after the show aired it's mid-season finale

But will he die? And what else do we know about this latest storyline – here’s what we know…

When was Carl Grimes bitten on The Walking Dead?

The closing moments of series eight’s midseason finale (epsiode 8) blew a hole right through one of the most important relationships in the AMC zombie drama – spelling curtains for yet another original character.

It seems the hit programme is now changed forever, having made one of the biggest deviations from the comic book series to date.

The end of the episode saw Carl Grimes – the teen son of the show’s protagonist Rick – revealing that he had been bitten by a Walker and was doomed to die.

The plucky young character, who has until now escaped death numerous times and lost his eye in the fight to survive, lives much longer in the book series.

Will Carl die on The Walking Dead?

Viewers can expect to see Carl perish in the next episode, shown in 2018 – though some avid fans of the show feel the death was unwarranted.

Carl is one of the five original characters left on the show, and the twist will have an enormous effect on the central character Rick, who has already suffered so much.

Showrunner Scott Gimple’s left Andrew Lincoln, the actor who plays Rick, flabbergasted when he told him he’d be losing his fictional son.

Andrew told Entertainment Weekly: “I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what to say.

“I never saw it coming because I always thought that the kid would be the future, and that was the whole point of this. Everybody was reeling from it and continue to reel from it.”

Sad as he was, Andrew praised the performance of 18-year-old actor Chandler Riggs – who has played Carl since 2010.

He said: “It was the perfect way for him to leave with doing some of the finest work that I’ve ever seen him do.”

“When someone from the old guard goes, there’s a part of you that goes with them,” Andrew added.

What is next for Chandler Riggs who plays Carl?

Fans had been speculating that Chandler was set to leave the show after he announced last month that he was heading off to university.

However, the youngster is taking a gap year before heading to Auburn – and even took to mocking fans who claimed he’d be leaving the show.

Talking after the latest episode aired, Chandler insisted that it “wasn’t [his] decision” to leave the show and it was all “story-related”.

He added: “I didn’t expect for Carl to ever get killed off. But it serves a good purpose in the story. There’s still a little more left in Carl’s story and that impacts Rick, Michonne and everyone.

“Although Carl’s story is coming to an end it’s not over yet,” he explained.

Let's Talk The Walking Dead Season Premiere and the War to Come : Courtesy - Gizmodo

War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count—wait a minute. Wrong war. Instead, after two full seasons of build-up, Rick and Negan have finally begun their long-awaited match-up, and tonight, the first battle was fought.

It’s clear that Rick won tonight’s battle, but those shots of him crying over two fresh graves imply it will end up a pyrrhic victory at best. I’ll talk more about it in my recap tomorrow morning, but I think I liked this—it definitely took its time, but I didn’t feel like it was killing time to pad out the episode, which is a marked improvement. Give your thoughts and theories in the comments—especially regarding Old Man Rick—but also including how screwed you think Gabriel is. My guess: Very!

The Walking Dead Showrunner Teasing Rick's Season 8 Death

During times of war, Rick Grimes is willing to do whatever it takes to keep his community and family safe on The Walking Dead. According to the AMC series' showrunner, that includes making the ultimate sacrifice.

Scott Gimple opened up about the tough times ahead for Rick Grimes in a recent interview, just as the series is set to begin production on its eighth season in Georgia. The showrunner's tease is consistent with series writer/creator Robert Kirkman's long running promise to kill Rick "eventually."

According to Gimple, Rick “will suffer any loss, even his own self to give his people and other people the life that they should live, where the world belongs to all of them and not just one person. A real life." It's something Rick has been striving for since leaving Atlanta. He had hoped to find some sort of civilization along the way but after encounters such as Terminus and the Governor, Rick realizes rebuilding the world on his own is the only viable option.

“That’s the only choice,” Gimple said. “So he’s willing to face the losses.”

This doesn't mean Rick would deal with the loss of someone close to him without a deal of grief. He is not becoming a cold-hearted leader despite the willingness to do what is necessary. “It isn’t that he’s willing to shake them off if they were to occur, or immediately rationalize them away,” Gimple says, “but he understands the enormity of what they are doing and the enormity of the possible cost.”

This all takes fans back to Rick's conversation with Michonne in Episode 7x12 which saw him telling his girlfriend that if either of them are to die, the other will have to continue their efforts in rebuilding the world. Killing Rick, however, would be a major deviation from The Walking Dead's comic book source material. Over 165 issues in (with the show at an equivalent of around issue 115), Rick Grimes is alive and well despite having only one hand and using the other to walk with a cane.

American Horror Story’ Season 7 Spoilers: Ryan Murphy Will Bring Back ‘Freak Show’ Characters; Showrunners ‘Still Exploring Season 4 In Season 7

The premiere of "American Horror Story" Season 7 is still several months away, and there has been no news regarding its plot. FX has released a couple of teasers that has led the show's fans to start speculating.

FX CEO John Landgraf confirmed to the media in October last year that there will, indeed, be a seventh season for the highly watched horror series. According to his statement, which can be seen on The Reporter Times, "AHS" was renewed as it uniquely "confronts our deepest fears with unmatched suspense and style.

Since the finale of Season 6, multiple news outlets have reported that the upcoming "American Horror Story" Season 7 plot will related to a cruise ship. The very first hint regarding this possible plot line was seen at the finale of the "Roanoke" season. The camera was focused on a model ship that crashed to the floor.

Shortly after that, the show's official Twitter account released a teaser clip that showed the ocean - a scene that was reminiscent of "Dark Shadow," which is a 1960s soap opera. The social media video was captioned, "The Monsters are All Gone."

The show's co-creator, Ryan Murphy, told Entertainment Weekly last year that the upcoming season will be tied to one of the franchise's previous seasons. "We will be going back to some 'Freak Show' characters, deeper histories, and mythologies," Murphy confirmed. "We are sort of still exploring Season 4 in Season 7."

Since the "AHS" franchise started, it has always premiered in the first week of October with 12 episodes. However, its sixth season broke from that shell and premiered in mid-September with only 10 episodes. This change of pace led fans to believe that FX and Murphy have their attention divided due to another hit show "American Crime Story."

The Walking Dead needs to learn from Game of Thrones’ successes

As we all love our fav t.v series The walking dead But also we have afraid that our fav show is losing it's viewers and rating . We are All blaming Negan for that well i'm in line of those who thinks that negan is the one major factor of our fav show's downfall . here i want to give you a little pic from past about the governor he helped tv show to grow and make it more interesting  then the Game of thrones. Well here i found an interesting post on Internet from Polygon's Author RogueWatson

Midway through its third season, Lost was in a bit of a crisis. Its bulky seasons were proving unsustainable, and the show spent too much time focusing on minor characters or stirring up pointless side plots. It felt like it was being drawn out for far too long.

Showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse listened. They declared the sixth season would be the series’ last. They tightened the number of episodes in each season to around 15 and focused on providing answers to ongoing mysteries. Ratings stabilized, and now Lost is widely considered a pinnacle of modern story-telling in television.

Getting a Hair loss Treatment to Slowdown Hair Loss

The Walking Dead is currently experiencing its Lost season three moment. The good news is, though, there's still time to fix it. In its translation from a black and white comic book series to television sensation, The Walking Dead's biggest hurdle hasn't been violence, gore or characters. It's pacing.

The main group spent the entirety of the second season at Hershel's farm, which quickly wore out its welcome as our heroes mostly just argued with each other. The prison was a highly anticipated next stop, but once again the show failed to capitalize on its momentum with the Governor. The battle for the prison was drawn out over a season and a half — including that horrible two episode stint when the Governor had to find an entirely new group of people to attack the prison with.

In later seasons the show divided our heroes into multiple sub-groups, each with their own little adventures, much like Lost did. Sometimes this lead to some outstanding character moments, like Carol having to kill a psychotic kid-murderer out of mercy in the fourth season.

More often than not, however, it bored us with stupid side treks, like Abraham finding a bazooka or Daryl meeting Dwight on the road in the sixth season and Beth's entire ordeal at the hospital in the fifth. We're just spinning our wheels until the next finale, when the plot is allowed to move forward again.

This season has been the most egregious of all. The premiere debuted to record ratings based entirely on a bullshit, manipulative cliffhanger. And it milked that moment for the entire premiere. Since then we've been helplessly shuttled around as our group splintered off into new and old locations.

The comic rarely split our group up, and when it did, it almost exclusively kept us with Rick Grimes. He was our anchor in an increasingly volatile world where our favorite characters, years in the making, would suddenly be ripped away. Yet the show demanded we focus our gaze on minor characters in odd situations. This is fine for an episode or two, but when it becomes the majority of your season, you have a problem.

In its seventh season, The Walking Dead is making the awkward transition into a wider universe that includes multiple communities and a villain that commands a veritable army at his disposal. These one-off character-building episodes feel like a giant waste of time compared to the ongoing plot and action surrounding all our characters.

Real Also About: David Beckham Hair Transplant

It’s through Game of Thrones that we can find the solution to our pacing issues. Game of Thrones includes one of the largest ensemble casts in television; a giant Tolkein-esque fantasy world with a hefty amount of lore and multiple plot arcs that have been around for years. Yet Game of Thrones remains one of the best shows on television in terms of pacing.

The big advantage is that Game of Thrones has only 10 episodes per season. You cannot waste any time with filler one-offs. The only time Game of Thrones forces us into a single area for an entire episode is when something big is happening, like a climactic battles. It's telling that The Walking Dead's best season is still its first, when it only had six episodes instead of the now standard 16.

Game of Thrones also has an official end point. Like The Walking Dead, its source material isn't finished. But writer George R.R. Martin has worked with the show runners in providing material beyond his notoriously delayed final books.

The Walking Dead, meanwhile, seems to be taking the opposite approach. Writer Robert Kirkman doesn't see himself ending the series anytime soon, and said many times that he plans on doing at least 300 issues. In 2014, executive producer David Alpert said he was more than willing to go to season 10 and beyond.

Right now in the show's timeline we're around volume 18 of the comics, or issues #103-108. That's 100 issues in a little over six seasons. The comic is currently on issue 160. That's well beyond the war with Negan and after a two-year time jump with an expanding world with new allies and threats.

At its current pace, the show would need at least four more seasons to catch up to where the comic is now. The Walking Dead is treading in unknown waters here. A serialized action-drama lasting this long is unprecedented.

A Review of the Hair Transplantation Techniques

Today i decided to write about some new Hair Transplantation Techniques

Sometimes we don’t care about the things until we lose them, same is the case with hair f. Causes of the hair loss are many and there are various solutions in the market that promise hair growth. Hair transplant is the permanent solution to this problem of hair loss. Let’ discuss about the procedure of the hair transplant and the difference in the hair transplant techniques.

Hair Transplant

Hair transplant was first introduced in the 1950’s and has now become a well-known surgical procedure for the hair restoration. The procedure of hair transplant is safe and the result is natural looking hair. You don’t have to be admitted to a hospital for a hair transplant and the procedure takes no more than eight hours.

Procedure of Hair Transplant by a Hair Restoration Specialist Dubai

The doctor who performs the hair transplant takes some photos of the scalp through different angles before the procedure. After which the doctor will explain the technique and the results that can be expected from it. The doctor might also determine hairline and scalp shape from a surgical pen to make you aware of the hair loss condition, where the transplanted grafts would be placed and how many grafts would be required.

The next step is to extract the donor hair from the scalp, during the procedure of extraction the surrounding hair are covered from a rubber band. Then the donor area is administered using local anesthesia after which the donor's hair is extracted from the donor area. Then they are prepared by the team who dissect the grafts. After the removal, the doctor stitches the donor area.

Now Let’s Discuss the Differences in the Techniques of Extraction

·         Strip Harvesting Procedure – In this method the doctor removes a strip of skin from the scalp that has good hairs. After which the donor area is closed with sutures and the excess tissue from the extracted follicles is removed with the help of the stereo microscope. It is made sure that no follicles are damaged during this.

·         Follicular Unit Extraction – after injecting local anesthesia at the donor area individual hair follicles are removed directly from the scalp. This extraction process is done using micro needles and blades. This procedure is time-consuming and requires great effort and skill from the surgeon side. The results are more natural in this method.

Preparing follicular units that are extracted for transplantation is the next step, now is it done? The extracted grafts are dissected and each graft contains about one to four hairs. During this time, the patient can sleep or watch television. Also, you can walk around in the clinic and talk to the team.

Last Step, placing the follicular units in the holes made at the benefactor region. Now anesthesia is injected into the benefactor region. The hair restoration specialist Dubai makes the holes in the region for the follicles to be placed. Every detail has to be seen during this step, to make the results look natural. The depth of the holes should also be considered.

Once the follicles are placed the hair restoration specialist Dubai ensures their fitting in the holes. Last but not least the doctor gives some instructions to strictly follow to avoid any mishap. You might experience some itchiness and soreness in the region of transplantation but it is recommended to not scratch the scalp as it may damage the hair follicle. The swelling will go in a day or two. The transplanted hair fall out after two weeks with new hair growth in the region. Full growth would be seen in nine months’ time.

The Bottom Line

In order to decide as to which hair transplant technique is best for them its best to discuss with the hair restoration specialist Dubai about the advantages and disadvantages regarding it and the results that could be expected.
