Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Meets With Prison Inmates, Talks About Being Arrested

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Meets With Prison Inmates, Talks About Being Arrested

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wasn’t always a pillar of the community.

The actor posted a photo of himself talking to a group of inmates at a prison today, and it appears that Johnson has taken his hard-earned experiences as a teenager and put them to good use by addressing men who find themselves on the wrong side of the law.

He captioned the pic, “I was arrested multiple x’s as a teen (fighting/stupid sh-t) Said if I can make it, so can you,” he said. “Stay strong #LockUp.”

Back in 2010, Johnson revealed that he had been arrested eight or nine times in his teen years.

“I got in trouble a lot when I was younger. By the time I was 16, I had been arrested eight or nine times for a variety of things, terrible things that I shouldn’t have been doing.”

Oprah Winfrey Giving $12M To New African-American Museum

Oprah Winfrey Giving $12M To New African-American Museum

WASHINGTON  — Oprah Winfrey is giving $12 million to a museum being built on Washington’s National Mall that will document African-American life.

The National Museum of African American History and Culture announced the gift Tuesday and said the museum’s 350-seat theater will be named after Winfrey. Winfrey previously gave the museum $1 million, and the museum says her $13 million total contribution is the museum’s largest to date.

President Barack Obama helped break ground on the $500 million museum in early 2012. When it’s finished, the museum will be the 19th Smithsonian museum and will house artifacts including Harriet Tubman’s shawl, Emmett Till’s casket and a Jim Crow-era segregated railroad car.

The U.S. government is providing half of the funding for the museum, which is expected to open in late 2015.

Bria Murphy Reveals: Some Models Eat Cotton Balls Dipped In Orange Juice To Stay Thin

Bria Murphy, Eddie Murphy’s daughter, made some startling revelations to Good Morning America about the competitive world of modelling.

The 23-year-old beauty, who has modeled for Dark & Lovely, told GMA that she wants to make it big in modelling and hopes to land a contract someday with Victoria’s Secret.

“As soon as I was born, I’ve been wanting to do this,” Murphy told GMA. But she had to overcome her naturally shy personality to pursue her dream.

“If you look at the old pictures, I’m in the back of everybody,” the budding catwalker elaborated. ”As I got older, I was like, ‘Bria you can’t want to model, and not want to be out there and be the center of attention.’”

Florida Woman Ends Marriage To Attend Waka Flocka Flame Concert

Florida Woman Ends Marriage To Attend Waka Flocka Flame Concert

Don’t try and come between Waka Flocka Flame and his fans. A South Florida woman is such a big fan of Gucci Mane’s former homie, that she had to go to his concert –even if her marriage was on the line.

Dianne D. was tweeting (stalking) Waka online, and once she learned of a concert coming to her area the next move was a no brainer.  “There was no way I could have missed that concert, I had to go,” she said in a phone interview Tuesday, June 11morning. “It was a defining moment in our marriage. I had been giving more than I was taking and this was one thing I did not want to compromise on. I just wanted to go to a rap concert.”

Powered by a retweet from Waka that she says “changed” her life, Dianne chose the 26-year-old rapper over her husband because the relationship was crap. She even wrote about it on her blog:

“In attempting to learn more about Twitter, I found musicians were doing a better job of social media promotion than most social media experts. I blogged about two rap artists who got social media right, Waka being one of them. He retweeted my post and graciously followed me on Twitter when I asked.
