‘ROUND THE WAY: DONALD TRUMP DITCHED BY RIHANNA, SAYS J. HUDSON SINGS BETTER + RIHANNA RESPONDS

Apparently Donald Trump isn’t too happy with singer Rihanna. The real estate mogul invited her out to perform, only to be told that the singer was battling a case of laryngitis and bronchitis prior to the Grammy Awards. The ‘What’s My Name?’ singer allegedly pulled out of making up to $500,000/hour, just to perform at the mogul’s private charity event. What made Mr. Trump even more upset is the fact that she performed the following day at the NBA All-Star game‘s half-time show. Although, Jennifer Hudson was able to perform at the last minute, Donald had a bit to say:

“I thought that (Rihanna bailing) was insulting to everyone, but for Rihanna to go to the All-Star game and perform after she told us she was sick, that is just a lack of respect[...]Nothing was missed. Jennifer’s a beautiful girl. She came on her day off even though she performs almost every night. She is an unbelievable talent, and her voice is better.”[Source]

A representative for Rihanna released the following statement:

“Rihanna was recovering [from] bronchitis and her doctor advised her not to get on a plane as she would risk losing her voice and damaging her vocal chords. She feels terribly she couldn’t attend but was so grateful Jennifer Hudson graciously stepped in.”[Source]

NEWS/STORIES: IDA KEELING SETS SPRINTING RECORD AT AGE 95

Ida celebrating with her daughter, Shelley

At the strong age of 95, Ida Keeling set a world record for sprinting 60 meters in 29.86 seconds at a track meet over the weekend. The Brooklyn, New York resident began running at the age of 67 amongst a group of teenagers. When it comes to training, Ida trains on her stationary bike in her apartment, lifts a little weights and trains in the hallway of her apartment. At the age of 69, the 4’6″ and 83 lbs runner ran her first 5K marathon.

Sadly it was the death of her 42 year-old husband back in 1959 that inspired her to get serious about her health. When asked what her beloved husband would say, she replied:

“He’d be very happy. I think he would say, “Gee, maybe I should’ve listened to you all along. [smiles]“

What an inspiration! Peep her interview below.
