Posted on:

Early this year, we learned that Jay Z would be trying his hand at the music streaming industry with an 8-figure bid to buy European streaming service Aspiro. Well, it appears that not all business ventures come wrapped in ribbon. Today, it was reported by Swedish publication Dagens Industri that Hov’s $56,000,000 bid was rejected by the company’s minority stockholders after being unanimously excepted by the board. And while he’s not exactly out of the race to purchase the highly-coveted streaming service (with the terms of his offer ending next week on March 11th) the shareholders will continue to work out more favorable terms for themselves. Jay’s Brooklyn Nets venture didn’t …

But what about a burgeoning young comedian like Eric Andre? What might he have to contribute to the discussion as a spry funnyman, making waves of his own with jarring, at times downright uncomfortable joke…

Posted on:

The city of Ferguson, Missouri has been found to be “a community deeply polarized. A community where deep distrust and hostility often characterize interactions between police and area residents,” said Attorney General Eric Holder at a press conference held earlier this afternoon in Washington.
