Michigan Basketball Head Coach Juwan Howard Fired

Rutgers v Michigan

The University of Michigan has severed ties with men’s basketball head coach Juwan Howard after a horrible record this season and a history of controversial actions.

Juwan Howard is no longer the Michigan men’s basketball head coach. He had been with the Wolverines for five seasons and finished with an 82-67 record, including two appearances in the NCAA tournament.

However, this season the team was 8-24 and he had a few controversies, including when he threw a punch at a Wisconsin Badgers assistant coach a couple of years ago. There was also an altercation this year between him and John Sanderson, the team’s strength and conditioning coach. Rumors are that there was a negative, fear-based culture within the program.

Michigan said they are looking for a new coach starting immediately. Let’s see who they hire now. You can read more and see what experts say is next for Michigan at this link.

 

Big Sean Debuts New Song That Will Be Released This Week

iHeartRadio LIVE And Verizon Bring You Big Sean In Harlem At The Apollo Theater On October 29, 2019

We’ll hear new music from Detroit’s own Big Sean this week. He debuted a snippet of a new track this past weekend at the Rolling Loud Festival.

Big Sean was at the Rolling Loud Festival over the weekend and as he was wrapping up his set, he previewed a new song that’s drop about to drop.

The music is the same horn-heavy sample from Three 6 Mafia’s “Poppin My Collar”, and it totally feels like something I’d be listening to cruising Belle Isle in the summer just having a good time. I like it.

Hints that new music might be coming began on social media late last week when Sean cleared his Instagram of all posts, except for the post announcing the birth of his son. On Friday, he added a new post that had him talking about the importance of being clear in one’s mind, mixed with what appears to be the recording sessions for his new album.

The new track is set to hit all platforms this week. Take a listen to a snippet of it below…

Bruno Mars Allegedly Owes $50-Million in Gambling Debts

BET Awards 2022 - Show

Rumors are flying about Bruno Mars’ gambling debts. It’s said that he owes $50-million dollars in Vegas.

Bruno Mars has been doing his residency in Las Vegas since, I think, 2016 and has extended it well into this year. Well, he has allegedly racked up an enormous $50-million gambling debt while he was performing that residency. They say his losses have now outpaced what he’s being paid.

A source allegedly said that MGM Grand Casino basically owns him. He makes $90-million a year off the deal he made with the casino, but then he has to pay back his debt.

I remember hearing that before he was a performer, he was a professional gambler. But like Mean Jean said, he must have not been good at it. All I know is that the casino is going to get their money, one way or another. So, if you want to see Bruno live, sounds like he’ll be in Vegas for the next couple of years paying his debt.

5 Creative Easter Egg Decorating Ideas Inspired By Pop Culture

Are you preparing for an Easter egg hunt? Maybe you just want to plan a fun activity of egg decorating with the family? Many people opt for the traditional dying of eggs. However, some people are taking their egg decorating a step further with painted or marbled creations. There are several decorating ideas to choose from. This is especially true when using pop culture as your inspiration, with movies, TV shows, video games, and your favorite celebrities.

No matter your level of expertise, there are plenty of helpful resources, such as printable templates, videos, and color charts, available.

Let’s Decorate Easter Eggs

If you plan on using acrylic paint to decorate your Easter eggs, then you’ll need some supplies. If you’re using hard-boiled eggs, boil the eggs first and leave them to cool. For wooden or plastic eggs, be sure to wash them first and leave them to dry overnight.

Some people choose to hollow out the egg for less of a mess. To hollow it out, use a pin or a nail to pop a hole through the top. Then, add a second hole on the bottom making it bigger than the first hole. Grab a bowl and blow through the egg to remove the yolk. Gently clean the egg under tap water, washing it through the hole. Let it dry.

When it’s time to paint, a trick I often use is resting your egg on a fresh toilet paper roll. To make your colors stand out, paint your egg white first, or skip this completely by purchasing white eggs. While you can use watercolor paint or any paint for that matter, I’ve found that acrylic paints work well on eggs or acrylic paint markers for more detailed decorating.

Once the egg is painted, you can leave it to dry or use a blow dryer to speed up the drying process.

With Easter around the corner, check out some fun pop culture Easter egg decorating ideas below.

  • Comic Book Eggs

    Whether you’re a Marvel or a DC fan, you can decorate your Easter egg in either theme. A woman shared on her blog, Food Fun Family, the dozen eggs she and her daughter painted that were inspired by The Avengers. They used fake eggs, Sharpie pens, chalkboard pens, and acrylic paints. Instead of getting super detailed with exact character faces, they painted the symbols of The Avengers, The Hulk, Spiderman, Thor’s hammer, and more. This is perfect for your comic book-loving family members.

  • Disney Easter Eggs

    Disney has a lot of inspiration for decorating Easter eggs, from Mickey and Minnie Mouse to Cinderella and Frozen. One blogger shared that they purchased a Monsters University Easter Egg Dye Kit at Target to make the process easier. A platform worth using for step-step guides to painting specific Disney eggs is Pinterest. Some suggestions share stickers and templates for some of the more detailed parts of the decorations. Time to paint!

  • Music Easter Eggs

    Several things can be used as Easter egg decoration inspo in the world of music. One idea includes Taylor Swift’s albums or songs. Recently, Country Living did their take on Taylor Swift: Eras Tour with eggs. They decorated an egg for each of her albums. Can you imagine how much fun you can have decorating a Red or Reputation egg? See some of their creations here. And don’t worry this can work with all genres and artists. So, if you want to go hip-hop, rock, or country, go for it!

  • Movie And TV Show Easter Eggs

    With shows like Squid Game and movies like Barbie the possibilities are endless for decorating. Not too long ago, Olivia Lux from season 13 of RuPaul’s Drag Race actually decorated a drag race-inspired egg. It has extra accessories from eyelashes to hair. Another simple but fun egg to decorate could be inspired by Netflix’s Wednesday. If you’re feeling ambitious you can decorate an Addams Family of eggs. Movies are also an option. Maybe, Star Wars or Mean Girls?

  • Sports

    You can’t go wrong with sports-decorated eggs. Just pick your favorite team and get to painting. You can break it down by favorite teams in different sports, favorite players, or jersey numbers. If you want something simpler, you can stick to designs like footballs, basketballs, baseballs, or other sports equipment. This is perfect for the sports lover in your family.
