Fake Florida doctor who ‘enhanced’ buttocks with cement, caulking gets 10 years for manslaughter

Image
A fake Florida doctor was convicted of manslaughter for injecting patients' buttocks with toxic substances such as cement and Fix-a-Flat tire sealant.   From a Florida prison in November 2011, Shatarka Nuby penned a letter to the state’s health department about her cosmetically enhanced buttocks. Her rear end had hardened and turned black, she  wrote . Side effects from the years-old injections left the mother of three feeling sick. And she claimed her surgeon — Oneal Ron Morris — was the same faux cosmetic doctor that police had arrested and accused of pumping a near-lethal formula of cement, mineral oil, bathroom caulking and Fix-a-Flat tire sealant into other women’s bodies. Her patients called her “Duchess.” Officials began investigating and interviewed Nuby. But four months later, she was dead. The official cause of death was respiratory failure from “massive systemic silicone migration” from injections to Nuby’s bu...

Fabolous Allegedly Punched Emily B Seven Times in the Face, Knocked Out Her Two Front Teeth and Threatened to Shoot Her Father & Brother

Image
New details surrounding Fabolous' domestic violence arrest from earlier this week have surfaced and they're pretty gruesome. According to court documents, Fabolous punched Emily B seven times in the face before threatening her dad and brother.  Englewood Police said in a statement the rapper, whose real name is John Jackson, turned himself in at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday on a domestic dispute and making a terroristic threat charge. He was released from police custody.  Court documents show the alleged crime stemmed from an earlier incident on March 7, when Jackson while in Los Angeles on a business trip "became enraged" when he found out via Instagram the victim was also in Los Angeles.  According to an affidavit of probable cause, while on a flight back from Los Angeles, the victim told police that Jackson, 40, said via text he wanted to hit her in the head with a baseball bat and that he would kill her but he "did not want to go out like that." The victim told...

More Air Jordan 11 Lows Are Coming in April Women's pair releases April 7.

Image
In addition to the  "Rose Gold" Air Jordan 11 Low  expected to release in April, there's yet another women's-exclusive version of the retro on the way. Unlike the aforementioned "Rose Gold" colorway, this "Black/Bleached Coral/White" iteration opts for more traditional color blocking. Its upper mixes what appears to be a black woven material with the sneaker's signature patent leather overlay, a white midsole, and a "Bleached Coral" pink outsole. The look is one that plenty of guys will probably want to pick up, but may have to admire from afar unless this style gets the extended sizing treatment. According to Eastbay's release calendar, this Air Jordan 11 Low will release on April 7 for $130. Air Jordan 11 Retro Low GG  Release Date:  Apr. 7 Color:  Black/Bleached Coral/White Style #:   580521-013 Price:  $130

Part of Jordan Brand's renewed focus on delivering top-notch product to its female consumers, the "Vachetta Tan"  Air Jordan 12  will finally land in stores next week. Styled more for casual than on-court wearing, this pair features a full suede upper, highlighted by gold-plated hardware. The look is balanced out by a contrasting sail outsole. The "Vachetta Tan" Jordan 12 will  release  in women's sizing on Friday, March 23 for $190 at  nike.com  and Jordan retailers.

'Homage to Home' Air Jordan 1 Releasing Earlier Than Expected? Retailers seemingly confirm April launch.

Image
Introduced as a sample last summer, the "Homage to Home"  Air Jordan 1 Retro  will soon make its retail debut. The obvious inspiration is a blend of the two most iconic Jordan 1 colorways, "Banned" and "Chicago." Both styles are represented on the shoe's upper by way of a seam that creates a split down the middle. Recently, a May 19 release date for the colorway was thrown out, but it looks like retailers are expecting something sooner. First spotted by  J23app , both DTLR and Villa have the launch listed for Saturday, Apr. 21. Retail comes in at the standard $160.

Nike SB Is Making More Jordan 11-Inspired Dunks 'Bred' colorway coming this fall.

Image
It's been quite some time since  Nike SB  took inspiration from the  Air Jordan 11  with  "Space Jam"  and  "Concord"  Dunk Lows in 2011 and 2013, respectively, but it looks like the Swoosh's skate division will revisit the popular theme this fall. An image shared on Instagram by  @shaggy_srsg  shows a Nike SB Dunk High in a familiar "Black/Black-White-Varsity Red" color scheme. Affectionately known to many as "Bred," this colorway lifts the black patent leather and ballistic mesh, white midsole, and red outsole of Michael Jordan's 1996 NBA Finals sneakers. Interestingly enough, this high-top does not feature the translucent outsole seen on previous Jordan 11-inspired Dunks. Expect this pair to arrive sometime around November. Nike SB Dunk High "Bred" Release Date:  November 2018 Color:  Black/Black-White-Varsity Red Style #:  AJ7730-001

The 'Shadow' Air Jordan 1 Returns in April Another round for the original colorway.

Image
A classic from the original run that was last seen in 2013, the "Shadow"  Air Jordan 1  is making another return this spring. Black and grey resume their familiar roles on the leather-constructed high-top, which bears OG-style 'Nike Air' branding on the tongue tag. Build aside, other details are consistent with the original. The "Shadow" Jordan 1 Retro is set to  release  on Saturday, Apr. 14 for $160.

4 men seriously wounded in shooting at Harvey strip club ( Video Inside)

Image
Four men were shot and seriously wounded early Saturday inside a strip club in south suburban Harvey. At 3:49 a.m., the male suspect entered The BOXXX Gentleman’s Club, 16700 S. Halsted St. in Harvey, and fired shots in the direction of the four victims, striking all of them, according to Harvey city spokesman Sean Howard. The shooting apparently stemmed from an earlier incident at another nightclub in another town. Emergency crews respond to a shooting early Saturday that left four men wounded at a strip club in south suburban Harvey. Two of the men were taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn while another was taken to Ingalls Memorial Hospital in Harvey, all in serious condition, Howard said. The fourth was in surgery Saturday morning at the Intensive Care Unit at Stroger Hospital. No one was in custody Saturday morning, but investigators had identified a suspect in security camera footage. He was apparently accompanied by a woman when he entered the club. “We do h...

'Easter' Air Jordan 11s Coming Soon Updated release date information.

Image
Jordan Brand's  giving you a head start on putting together the perfect Easter fit with an  Air Jordan 11 Low  dropping just before the holiday. Originally rumored for an Easter Sunday release ,  Foot Locker  is now advertising this low-top look to launch on March 31. Like some of the original Air Jordan 11 Lows, this colorway swaps out the sneaker's usual ballistic mesh upper for a white leather build capped off with a dark green patent leather overlay. The shoe's icy outsole is also updated with a subtle iridescent finish. This pair still hasn't been officially confirmed by the brand, but you can expect a retail price of $175 when these hit stores at the end of the month. The colorway is also set to release in kids' sizing.

The Latest Reminder that Deion Sanders and Nike Should Reunite Another Air DT Max '96 retro expected this spring.(Video Inside)

Image
Deion Sanders  is a sneaker icon on par with just about any endorser who's ever been associated with the business. He's mostly known for his 90s Diamond Turf cross-training footwear line, which he says he was actively involved in helping develop. Unfortunately, the relationship between Sanders and Nike has broken down over the years, with the Hall of Famer claiming that his former brand owes him royalties for his contributions toward making Diamond Turf sneakers a success. In fact, on a recent episode of  Sneaker Shopping , Sanders said he'll never work with Nike again. Here's hoping that cooler heads will eventually prevail, because while it's respectable that Under Armour does good work with Sanders' football programs, the people need "Prime Time" back pumping up his own line. Peer athletes like Penny Hardaway, Scottie Pippen and Bo Jackson have even had post-career signature models released in recent years. With Sanders, you not only hav...

Another 'Just Do It' Nike Air Max 1 Surfaces Orange colorway said to be a women's exclusive.

Image
The upcoming "Just Do It"  Nike Air Max 1  won't only be releasing in white. According to  Pinoe77 , this orange-based version of the runner is due out in women's sizing later this year. Based on  images that have leaked  thus far, the Air Max 1, Air Max 95 and Air Force 1 Low will be included in the pack, each styled in black, white and orange colorways. Shoes in the pack are overbranded with Nike's iconic tag line, "Just Do It." The collection is drawing comparisons to recent efforts from Virgil Abloh's Off-white label. An official  release date  hasn't been announced, but expect a drop sometime around Fall '18.

Don't Hesitate to Buy the 'Game Royal' Air Jordan 1 Next Week Production may be a little more limited than expected.

Image
The "Game Royal"  Air Jordan 1 Retro High  will make its retail debut next week, and while plenty of locations will have the shoe in stock, buying a pair may not be easy. According to  Pinoe77 , roughly 75,000 pairs were produced, which puts this release on par with the "Bred Toe" colorway that sold out instantly and re-sells for double its price tag. Last year, it was rumored that Jordan Brand would be limiting production on certain retros this year and we're beginning to see that happen. "Game Royal" Jordan 1s mark the debut of royal blue on the "Chicago" blocked version of the high-top. Retail will be $160 on Saturday, March 24. Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Game Royal" Release Date:  03/24/18 Color:  Game Royal/Black-Summit White Style #:  555088-403 Price:  $160
