NEW MUSIC: TIMOTHY BLOOM – “WHERE, WHERE, WHERE” + “I HATE U”

It’s been a minute since we’ve all heard from singer-songwriter Timothy Bloom. Now the “Possibilities” singer has stepped out from the behind-the-scenes to drop two new records, “Where, Where, Where” and “I Hate You.”

The first guitar & drum-ladden, uptempo features the crooner singing about how a love has got him losing his cool, wondering where his mojo has gone. In the second, Bloom slows it down with a smooth, ballad-like track.

PHOTOS: SERENA WILLIAMS ATTENDS ‘MUTUA MADRID OPEN’ PRESENTATION

Serena Williams rocked a figure flattering black & white striped dress at the Mutua Madrid Open presentation at the Caja Magica in Spain on Thursday (May 2).

Topped off with a pair of Nike high-tops, the 31 year-old tennis titan showed off her amazing guns as she sat amongst fellow tennis champions Victoria Azarenk and Rafeal Nadal.

At this year’s Madrid Open, Williams will be going head to head against her former Sony Open opponent Maria Sharapova. But this time around, they’ll be playing on a court covered in red clay. When asked last year about her preference in a tennis court surface, she candidly replied,

“Anywhere. It could be ice, grass, clay. It could be — I don’t care. Just give me a racket and a ball. I’m ready.”

On May 2, 1973, activist Assatta Olugbala Shakur (born Joanne Chesimard) and two members from the Black Liberation Army, were reportedly pulled over by NJ state troopers for a motor vehicle violation. Various accounts have been told, but according to the FBI’s official website:

Chesimard and her accomplices opened fire on the troopers. One trooper was wounded and the other was shot and killed execution-style at point-blank range. Chesimard fled the scene, but was subsequently apprehended. One of her accomplices was killed in the shoot-out and the other was also apprehended and remains in jail.

40 years after being convicted of murder and 34 years after escaping from prison, the Federal Bureau of Investigations has added the 65 year-old to their “Most Wanted Terrorists” list — making her first woman ever to make the list and the second domestic terrorist to be added.
