Savannah Brinson and LeBron James Set Wedding Date

Miami Heat player LeBron James and fiance Savannah Brinson have set a wedding date, according to TMZ, who obtained a copy of their “save the date” card.  The card, which features caricature drawings of James, Brinson, and their two sons, asks friends to block out Friday Sept. 13 through Sunday Sept. 15 for a destination wedding in San Diego, CA.

James and Brinson, both 28,  have been engaged since 2011, but have been together since attending high school together in Akron, Ohio. They have two children, LeBron Jr, 8, and Bryce, 5. Engaged nearly one year and a half on New Years eve, Savannah showed off her gorgeous engagement ring for all to see in the following days.

Looking forward to seeing some wedding photos.

Demi Moore Headed for Divorce Drama

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are having trouble reaching a financial settlement in their divorce proceedings. Kutcher, 35, apparently refused to negotiate with Moore, 50.

According to a source close to the couple, Kutcher does not feel Moore is entitled to the money he has made on Two and A Half Men. After replacing Charlie Sheen in 2011, he is now the highest paid actor in television. “Ashton made a lot of money after marrying Demi – a lot more than she made – but despite him becoming just as famous through her, he believes he doesn’t owe her that much.”

The same source argues Demi is just ready to be done with the entire ordeal. “After over a year of attempting to reach a settlement, Demi is definitely ready to move on. It’s hoped lawyers for both sides can reach a settlement this spring, otherwise the divorce will go into litigation and trial,” the source said.

Erin Andrews Explains 50 Cent Kiss

Earlier this week, sports journalist Erin Andrews was caught on camera allegedly snubbing rapper 50 Cent, as the rapper approached her with a kiss on the cheek and she turned the other way.

Apparently, it was all a huge misunderstanding. Andrews was searching for race car driver Danica Patrick in a huge crowd when 50 spotted her. “I went and said hello [to 50]. We’re actually business partners – I’m one of the spokespeople for SK Energy,” Andrews explained.  SK is an energy drink company co-founded by the rapper. “He grabbed me, I went one way, [producers] screamed ‘Danica,’ I whipped my neck, I got whiplash and it’s fine.”

Andrews wanted it made clear she did not snub the rapper, just had to dash off to do her job. “He’s the best. I mean, come on,” she said.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
