MUHAMMAD ALI SERVICE

On June 3rd, the great professional boxer Muhammad Ali passed away at the age of 74. Yesterday, thousands turned out to pay their respects to the "GOAT." Thursday service was lead by Muslim tradition called Jenazah, held over 14,000 mourners in his home state of Kentucky.

It seems like a beautiful home service for the "Sting like a Bee" boxer. According to family, he had everything already outline what he wanted in case of his death, including an eugulogy to be given by former president Bill Clinton, and also comedian Billy Crystal (who I love by the way).

Thursday's service will be followed Friday by a morning funeral procession through the streets of Louisville (see route on map, above), followed by a public memorial service at the KFC Yum! Center arena. Former President Bill Clinton, sportscaster Bryant Gumbel and comedian Billy Crystal are among those expected to deliver eulogies.

BLAC CHYNA GIVES BIRTH DURING MANNEQUIN CHALLENGE

So everyone is doing the new video challenge called, The Mannequin, where everyone freezes in the video. So Blac Chyna thought it would be cool to do it while being in labor. Hmmm... Okay, well not literally. However, shortly afterwards, Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian welcome a beautiful baby girl, Dream Kardashian, into the world on November 10th. Of course social media didn't tell well to the name, Dream, but I like it. It's different. I mean, people have to take into consideration that baby Dream was not born into just an average family, but a family of Kardashian's with a cousin named "North-West", a brother that is also a step-cousin (I think ??), then an aunt, who is actually a step-mom...?? Okay, that's neither here nor there but you get the point. Usually, babies are born into that awkward phase where they look like no one in particular, yet everyone at the same time. At least in my eyes, Dream favors first-time daddy, Robert Kardashian. Wh...

BOW WOW CHALLENGE: FUNNIEST MEMES

Once again, rapper/actor Shad Moss (Bow Wow/ Lil Bow wow) was caught "insta-lying" again, which created a challenge called "#BowWowChallenge" by social media. It all started with Bow Wow posting a picture about him catching a flight to NYC. The picture he posted was of a private jet and a fancy car outside of it, pretty much indicating that he was about to hop on it. It all went down hill when a fan of his happened to be following Bow Wow's post on IG and saw he posted he was on a private jet (though he didn't state it directly). Once the coach passenger noticed Bow Wow was lying, he took a picture and uploaded to social media, which then prompted a mass influx of people searching the internet to find where Bow Wow had stolen the picture from. Ultimately, they found it and started calling Bow Wow out on his lies. Even rapper, 50 Cent took part in the challenge. LOL
