Nick Cannon Named Stomp Out Bullying Ambassador
Nick Cannon has been named a global ambassador for Stomp Out Bullying, a national anti-bullying and cyberbullying program for kids and teens. He recently released a video for “Die Young” saying, “Both the video and the song are deeply personal, and the track addresses real issues that so many people deal with each day.”
According to Stomp Out Bullying, one out of four kids are bullied with as many as 160,000 students staying home on any given day because they’re so afraid. Bullying and cyberbullying incidents are at an all-time high, which sometimes result in suicide as the only option to end the attacks.

TV Host Wendy Williams and her husband Kevin Hunter pose for a photo at ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ 500th episode celebration at Element on Thursday night (May 24) in New York City.

Yes, there was a baby tossed in a washing machine. Late last week, a clip starting floating around which featured a man putting a toddler into a front-load washing machine at a laundromat in Camden, New Jersey. In a poor attempt to play with the child, the unidentified male shut the door, not realizing that the machine would automatically start (VIEW VIDEO).. The baby tumbled in the machine for about five minutes and was luckily rescued by a laundromat employee who successfully turned off the machine.
Sakia David, the mother of the 1-year-old toddler, Saimeir Bush spoke out about the situation on MSNBC’s Today show explaining that she wasn’t aware of the event happening, how she didn’t know the man in the clip and had in fact left her son to be babysat by her female friend, Sandra who was also in the clip. The 24-year-old single mother made it clear that she will be pressing charges against her friend:
I just want to tell Sandra, ‘This is not over because everybody said on the news that I wasn’t pressing charges and I am.’ [...] I left my child in her custody. She sat there and watched him put my baby in a washer. So it was both of their fault. I don’t care how much they say it’s not her fault. That’s her fault, too.
Singer/songwriter Dawn Richard recently sat down with PYNK MAGAZINE for an exclusive interview and the former “Dirty Money” member spoke on her relationship with Kalenna and more. Also check out her colorful spread below..
DAWN ON KALENNA:
“Kalenna and I really don’t speak right now because both of our projects are going at the same time, we just haven’t gotten the chance sense we were in Dirty Money.”
DAWN ON HER MUSIC IN 5 YEARS:
“I would hope that my music reaches the masses without losing anyone in the process. I think musically when people listen to this RnB and watch the dance that goes along with it the movements are a little bit more moving, than when people simply listen to other RnB. I hope that the word innovative would be used a lot. I hope that after people have seen the same thing over and over again, their eyes will be open to something different. I am a storyteller, and I would love to be telling who I am while continuing to push the envelope through my music.”
