CL HISTORY THROWBACK PICS: BESSIE COLEMAN (1926)

Check out these photos of Bessie Coleman ( 1892 – 1926 ), who became one of the most famous women in aviation history.

Bessie graduated from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the world’s air sports federation, making history as not only the first black person to earn a pilot’s license but also the first American to earn an international aviation license after being forced to study abroad because, as a black woman, she could not study at any American flight school.

The pioneer aviator died at the age of 34 after falling 500 feet from an aircraft during a routine practice run.

‘ROUND THE WAY: NICK CANNON CONFIRMS THAT MARIAH IS CARRYING TWINS

It’s been weeks of speculation but Nick Cannon has confirmed that he and wife Mariah Carey are indeed going to have twins.

Ever since Mariah slipped and said “they” when referring to her pregnancy, rumors have been rampant about the possibility of twins for the two. And as it turns out, the first person to get confirmation of the news wasn’t a reporter or family friend, but President Barack Obama.

On his 92.3 radio show, Cannon told the story:

On Friday, you will see my wife perform in front of the President and the first family … and she opens the show with a song she wrote called “One Child” which is kind of ironic. It’s a festive holiday song … she even speaks of how she was inspired writing this song and being pregnant. So as she’s singing this song and goes backstage and has the opportunity to speak with the President and the First Family, and they even questioned my wife about ‘So what are you having, are you having twins?’ At this point she hadn’t told anybody anything … and because of the excitement, she was overwhelmed and she shared with the President that we are having twins.
