While Zendaya’s latest film “Challengers” has inspired some to choose up a tennis racket (or not less than some white tennis players), increasingly warmer weather and sunny days have others able to take a swing on the golf course. Whether you propose to choose up a racket or a golf club, the trend of the season is preppy athleisure.

GolfEastside, Black-owned lifestyle golf brand helps golfers and non-golfers alike capitalize on this trend. The brand, known primarily for menswear, this week expanded its mission to diversify the world of golf to incorporate womenswear.

“Since the beginning of our business, women have been buying Eastside Golf items for themselves and asking us when we will enter the women’s category,” said Olajuwon Ajanaku, co-founder and creative director of Eastside Golf Women’s on a regular basis clothing. “But we didn’t want to ‘shrink and change color’ of our existing products; We wanted to create something authentic and thoughtful. That’s why we’ve dedicated additional resources to employ designers with extensive womenswear knowledge to create pieces that are both fashionable and functional, while also being at home on the street or in the club.”

The 20-plus-piece collection includes items starting from tracksuits and trousers to cropped t-shirts, polo shirts, dresses, etc. Based on women’s insights from the Masters tournament, Eastside Golf created comfortable clothing and designed satin-lined hats to suit different hairstyles and textures.

“We are serving women who have not been served by golf clothing brands in the way they deserve – they do not have the same clothing choices as men, even though they constitute a significant and growing part of the golfing community,” added the brand’s co-founder, Earl Cooper . “We are extremely proud of the collection and hope to attract women who are looking for golf clothing that is not only functional, but fashionable and gives them confidence, allowing them to be their authentic selves on and off the golf course.”

Just as Eastside Golf strives to create pieces that suit every lifestyle, Tiger Woods’ latest business enterprise hopes to do the same. Inspired by the signature red shirt that Woods wore throughout his profession, the skilled golfer’s “athluxury” brand, Red sun dayoffers “performance apparel for those who share our passion for the game and love of competition – in golf and in life.”

“Every detail has been carefully designed, putting the athlete first at every step, resulting in a collection that exceeds the highest standards,” said Woods, per Women’s on a regular basis clothing. “I have personally loved wearing these products and am ready to see our brand proudly embraced around the world.”

The launch of the latest brands follows the end of Woods’ 27-year partnership with Nike in January 2024.
“This is me. I wear red on Sundays, every stripe (in the logo) means something,” Woods said, discussing the launch and the brand’s style. for a fast company. “This is the right time in my life… to be able to create my own brand, something that I live and breathe, that is authentic and inspiring.”

In his revealing interview with ‘Club Shay Shay’, Gary Owen revealed more concerning the time he spent working on the ‘Steve Harvey’ show with fellow comedian Steve Harvey.

The talk show aired from 2012 to 2017, and Owen worked on the show for about two weeks as an announcer. The “Ride Along” actor detailed his experience with the show, and through his conversation with Shannon Sharpe, he even mentioned Harvey’s stepdaughter, model Lori Harvey.

When asked if he had relationship with Harvey, the “Think Like a Man” star told Sharpe that he had all the time been good with Harvey.

“That’s what the headlines say” he said Oven. “I was always good to Steve. What happened with the whole thing, when he moved his talk show from Chicago to Los Angeles, I went on as a guest. He pulled me aside and told me something like, “I’m about to move this show to Los Angeles. We’re going to make it a late-night talk show, but a daytime talk show, but I want to bring you on as sort of a co-host.”

Owen added that after just a few months, a producer called him to debate the performance. “I don’t think he knows who I am,” Owen said. “I feel he checked out it prefer it was a favor. Well, nothing’s going on in my life, right? I could tell by the tone of the conversation.

The 49-year-old added that he hasn’t signed a contract but has agreed to look on the show for 2 weeks to see how things go.

On the primary day, he was placed in a fantastic dressing room, but later it was given to the show’s guest, comedian Chelsea Handler. Apparently it was her old dressing room and Owen added that the worker took him to a different dressing room.

“So I thought, ‘Okay.’ Just this episode. … I was walking around, but the guy put me in some broken closet with no mirror and no bathroom,” Owen revealed. “They basically said, ‘This is where you’re going to spend the rest of the week,’ and I said, ‘Oh.'”

Owen shared that when he asked for a greater wardrobe, “Black Women to the Rescue,” noting that he had previously been helped by a white man.

“One of them, a Black woman, stepped in. She knew who I was,” Owen said, adding that the lady got him a small dressing room with a small TV, a couch and a rest room, and he was “good.”

Owen ultimately left the show because he only made the “SAG minimum” and lost money because he wasn’t touring or doing stand-up comedy. He made thrice that quantity while touring for “Hip Hop Squares.”

Owen said he turned down the gig after being offered one other two weeks and never being offered the cash he wanted.

“I’d say it’s Lori’s fault,” he joked. “It was her fault. Won’t you defend her? Won’t you defend her? You’re not going to defend Lori Harvey? Another black woman you don’t defend,” Owen said, referring to Sharpe’s point criticized for dating white women.

Sean “Diddy” Combs on Friday asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit alleging he and two co-defendants raped a 17-year-old girl in a New York recording studio in 2003, saying it was “false and a vile claim.” it was submitted too late, in accordance with the law.

The legal move is one more show of opposition from the 54-year-old hip-hop mogul and his legal team after he faced several similar lawsuits and a subsequent sex trafficking investigation.

“Mr. Combs and his companies categorically deny plaintiffs’ decades-long narrative against them, which caused incalculable damage to their reputation and business standing before any evidence was presented,” reads the lawsuit, which also names corporations owned by Combs as defendants “Plaintiff cannot state what day or time of year the alleged event occurred, but she miraculously remembers other salacious details despite her alleged incapacitated condition.”

The lawsuit was filed in December and amended in March by a girl now living in Canada, whose name was not disclosed within the court filing. She said she was within the eleventh grade at a suburban Detroit highschool in 2003 when Harve Pierre, then president of Combs’ Bad Boy Entertainment record label, took her to New York on a personal jet and took her to a recording studio, where she was given drugs and alcohol until she was unable to consent to sex. Then, the lawsuit states, Pierre, Combs and a person she didn’t know took turns raping her.

The lawsuit included photos of the girl sitting on Combs’ lap that she said were taken that evening.

The defense filing asked that the case be “dismissed with prejudice at this time” – meaning it can’t be refiled – “in order to protect Defendants Combs from further reputational harm and before more of the parties’ and judicial resources are wasted.”

One of the plaintiff’s lawyers, Michael J. Willemin, said in a press release filed in response to the lawsuit: “At this point, no one should take anything that ‘Diddy’ or his lawyers say seriously.” Today’s motion is merely a desperate attempt by Combs to avoid responsibility for Ms. Doe’s allegations of gang rape and sexual assault. It won’t work.”

At this early stage within the lawsuit, the arguments are procedural, not factual.

Some of the lawsuits filed against Combs involve decades-old allegations and are amongst greater than 3,700 legal claims filed under New York’s Adult Defenders Act, which temporarily suspended certain legal deadlines to give survivors of sexual assault one last likelihood to file harassment lawsuits , which took place a few years ago. and even several dozen years ago.

The law’s latest deadlines have expired, but Combs’ lawsuit filed Friday was brought under a distinct law, New York’s Gender-Based Violence Victims Protection Act. This city law also allows accusers to file civil complaints for sexual assault claims after the statute of limitations has passed.

Combs’ motion, nonetheless, argued that the lawsuit was filed too late because town law is preempted by state law, which implies the lawsuit have to be filed by August 2021 to be timely.

“New York law is superior to New York law without exception,” the filing reads.

An amended version of the lawsuit filed in March sought to address a few of these issues, but Combs’ attorneys say it didn’t go far enough.

A judge ruled that the girl would have to reveal her name if the lawsuit continued after the challenge.

The Associated Press doesn’t typically name individuals who say they’ve been victims of sexual abuse unless they arrive forward publicly, as a few of Combs’ accusers did.

In Friday’s filing, the defense also criticizes the lawsuit for including “a bold, legally irrelevant ‘trigger warning’ calculated to focus attention on the salacious and depraved allegations.”

The public exposure of the allegations against Combs began with a November lawsuit filed by singer Cassie, his former protégé and girlfriend, alleging battery, rape and other harassment from 2005 to 2018. The grievance, filed by the identical lawyers who filed the lawsuit filed on Friday, was resolved the day after it was filed. Combs denied the allegations through his lawyer before the settlement.

In the next months, additional lawsuits were filed against Combs. Then, on March 25, Homeland Security issued search warrants at his homes in Los Angeles and Miami as a part of a sex trafficking investigation. His lawyer called it “an egregious use of force at the military level.” The investigation continues. Combs was not charged.

Last month Combs filed a motion to dismiss lawsuit filed by Joi Dickerson, who stated she was a 19-year-old college student when Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her.
