News roundup of the day: Kourtney Kardashian Birth Rumors, Yvette Wilson Dies, Rihanna Parties

Rihanna was spotted leaving Jay-Z’s 40/40 in New York City last night with her girlfriend Melissa and several other friends just one day after her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown caught in her club brawl. Reportedly the sexy “Man Down” singer is the reason behind the fight which also included rappers Drake and Meek Mill. Despite her name being thrown in the mix Rihanna had a great time and even got drunk. She wrote on Twitter:

“Is it just me or is twitter way too complicated when you’re drunk? *still drunk*

‘Fun times w/ Neyo, Mo, V, Trey, Maxwell, Selita, Terrence, CP3, A Mandler and ofcourse my hoes.”

Kourtney Kardashian

Kourtney Kardashian was forced to clarify birth rumors after she tweeted,

“Chick-fil-A and a water birth. No big deal.”

Kourtney’s followers quickly began congratulating her and beau Scott Disick on their new arrival. The pregnant star sent a followup tweet for clarification, “Witnessed a water birth last night with @KhloeKardashian,” she wrote. “What an experience! All I can say is WOW!”

Kourtney who’s expecting a baby girl is reportedly due in July.

Yvette Wilson

Yvette Wilson, Andell Wilkerson from “Moesha” and “The Parkers”, 48, died yesterday evening after losing her battle with cervical cancer. Former cancer survivor Jeffrey Pittle who begun a fund for Yvette released as statement confirming her death,

“It is with a heavy heart that I can verify that Yvette passed away last evening after a lengthy and hard battle. She was a fighter to the end, and her talent, humor and amazing friendship will be sorely missed. She will live on through her awesome body of work.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
