Michael Jordan Getting Married

NBA great Michael Jordan is set to marry Cuban model Yvette Prieto. The couple went to the courthouse on Thursday in Palm Beach County, Fla., to apply for a marriage license, according to Kathy Burstein, a spokeswoman for the clerk’s office.

The couple have been engaged since 2011. The marriage will be the second for Jordan, who was married to Juanita Vanoy from 1989 to 2006. The couple had three children together.

Jordan and Prieto have yet to set a date, although the license does reveal they will be getting married in Florida.

Kelly Osbourne Suffers Seizure on Set

Kelly Osbourne suffered a seizure yesterday while on the set of E!’s Fashion Police, where she is a regular commentator.

The 28-year-old first complained to producer Melissa Rivers while they were filming. “Kelly said she wasn’t feeling well, and then Melissa said, ‘Oh my God, she’s having a seizure!’ Melissa helped put her on the floor and then lay down next to her and talked her through it,” a source reported to US Weekly.

Last night, Osbourne did confirm the seizure, tweeting from the hospital “Thank U all 4 UR beautiful well wishes yes I did have a seizure they are just trying to figure out why?”

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.
