Who Is the New Woman in the Black Eyed Peas?

  Who Is the New Woman in the Black Eyed Peas? © Getty Images for MTV Getty Images for MTV The Black Eyed Peas closed out the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards with their classic hit “I Gotta Feeling,” but something was simply not right. Was it the light-up crotches? A “new Fergie” performing her parts? Or the fact that this new performer was the only one who didn’t get a light-up crotch? Frankly, all of the above. But to the most pressing matter first: Who is this goddess who deserves to pop her light-up crotch and be called something other than “new Fergie?” Meet J. Rey Soul, real name Jessica Reynoso. Per an interview with Billboard, the singer-songwriter first got involved with the Peas when member Apl.de.ap selected her to join his team on The Voice Philippines. She’s since guested on their 2018 project Masters of the Sun Vol. 1 and accompanied them on a world tour. J. Rey Soul was involved in the process of their recent, Latin-inspired album Translation and features on “Mamacita,” alo

  Jaguars to trade Pro Bowl DE Yannick Ngakoue to Vikings!!! Aug. 30 (UPI) -- The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to trade Pro Bowl defensive end Yannick Ngakoue to the Minnesota Vikings. League sources told ESPN and NFL Media on Sunday that Minnesota is acquiring Ngakoue from the Jaguars in exchange for a 2021 second-round draft pick and a conditional fifth-round selection in the 2022 draft that could become as high as a third-round choice. Ngakoue still must sign his franchise tender, but the trade is in place and he is expected to join the Vikings. Later Sunday, NFL Media reported that the star pass-rusher and the Vikings agreed to a one-year contract worth about $12 million. Ngakoue confirmed the trade with a post on social media Sunday. "It's evident that my time in Jacksonville is up," Ngakoue wrote on Twitter. "But I want to say thank you to the organization for making it a home for myself for 4 years, and that I'll never forget. That chapter is over with now.

Jamal Murray's emotional postgame interview after scoring 50 in Game 6 was so powerful!!

  Jamal Murray's emotional postgame interview after scoring 50 in Game 6 was so powerful!!! © Provided by For The Win Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray had another huge game Sunday night as he scored 50 points and helped force a Game 7 against the Utah Jazz. But his live interview seconds after the game on TNT was much more powerful than anything he did on the court during the game. Murray has been a force in this series, scoring over 40 points in each of the last there games. After the game he spoke about what he’s playing for and why everything the NBA has been doing in the bubble means so much for society. Murray wore special shoes for Game 6 that had the faces of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor on them and when asked about his performance he spoke about why this all means so much more than wins and losses in a basketball game. This was beautiful: He added to those powerful comments in his postgame press conference: He was overcome by emotions on the way back to the locker room:

CenturyLink outage led to a 3.5% drop in global web traffic!!!

  CenturyLink outage led to a 3.5% drop in global web traffic!! US internet service provider CenturyLink has suffered a major technical outage on Sunday after a misconfiguration in one of its data centers created havoc all over the internet. Due to the technical nature of the outage — involving both firewall and BGP routing — the error spread outward from CenturyLink's network and also impacted other internet service providers, ending up causing connectivity problems for many more other companies. The list of tech giants who had services go down today because of the CenturyLink outage includes big names like Amazon, Twitter, Microsoft (Xbox Live), EA, Blizzard, Steam, Discord, Reddit, Hulu, Duo Security, Imperva, NameCheap, OpenDNS, and many more. Cloudflare, which was also severely impacted today, said CenturyLink's outward-propagating issue led to a 3.5% drop in global internet traffic, which would make this one of the biggest internet outages ever recorded. Root cause: Misco

Man under investigation in fatal shooting after pro-Trump rally allegedly took loaded gun to earlier Portland protest.

  Man under investigation in fatal shooting after pro-Trump rally allegedly took loaded gun to earlier Portland protest. A 48-year-old man who was accused of carrying a loaded gun at an earlier downtown Portland protest is under investigation in the fatal shooting Saturday night of a right-wing demonstrator after a pro-Trump rally. Michael Forest Reinoehl calls himself an anti-fascist and has posted videos and photos of demonstrations he attended since late June, accompanied by the hashtags #blacklivesmatter, #anewnation and #breonnataylor. Reinoehl was raised in Sandy and has had recent addresses in Northeast Portland, Gresham and Clackamas. He described himself on social media and in a video interview with Bloomberg QuickTake News as a professional snowboarder and contractor who has former military experience but “hated” his time in the army. Sources familiar with the case but not authorized to speak said police are investigating Reinoehl. A family member also identified him as a man

Hamilton: Only F1 bosses can do something to stop boring races!!!

  Hamilton: Only F1 bosses can do something to stop boring races © Mark Sutton  Lewis Hamilton believes pressure needs to be placed on Formula 1 bosses so that changes are made to avoid boring races such as the Belgian Grand Prix. Hamilton eased to a dominant victory at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on Sunday, leading every lap of the race ahead of Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas. But a need for tyre management meant there was little action at the front of the field, with Hamilton, Bottas and Max Verstappen spending the entire race unchanged as the top three. Red Bull driver Verstappen called the race "boring", and lamented the fact he had to manage his tyres for around 38 laps of the 44-lap race. Mercedes' performance advantage over the rest of the field has also led to a lack of competition at the front, something Hamilton compared to the dominance enjoyed by Michael Schumacher and Ferrari in the early 2000s. "I can't speak for the fans but having been a f

The MTV VMAs Are Finally Relevant Again. All It Took Was a Pandemic.

  The MTV VMAs Are Finally Relevant Again. All It Took Was a Pandemic. Around 11 p.m. on Thursday night in New York, near a particularly dark and disturbing segment of Donald Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention and amid nationwide unrest in the wake of the Jacob Blake shooting, a series of loud, seemingly endless rumblings echoed throughout the city.  Once it became clear that the intense noise was lasting far too long to be thunder or a passing truck, panicked New Yorkers ran to their windows trying to see what the hell was going on. Explosions? Shootings? An occupation? An uprising? Alien invasion?  It turned out to be a fireworks display set off in the Hudson River for a performance filmed for Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards, pyrotechnics that were delayed late into the night because of rainy weather earlier in the evening. Specifically, it was for The Weeknd’s show-opening performance of “Blinding Lights,” belted from a terrace 1,100 feet over the city at the
