It's October.
Halloween's around the corner and then we get into the holidays.
My birthday is near.
But before all of this is Drake's birthday. October's very own.
Some would say Drizzy's birthday is the official start of cuffing season. Drake's birthday is today, but the rapper celebrated on Monday with his closest friends....keep in mind some seemed new...if you get what I mean.

To mark this momentous occasion, the 6 God had a few of his famous friends over at West Hollywood hotspot, Poppy, to celebrate.
The theme? A Bar Mitzvah! Who could forget the precious video of Drake from his original Bar Mitzvah that went viral.

Stars like BFFs Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire were present. Of course Drake's dad, Dennis, was there living it up with Bishop Don Magic Juan and his pimp cup. The Bay Area's own G-Eazy showed up as well as former-LA Laker Lamar Odom, Tracey Ellis-Ross, Kelly Rowland and many more.

The party was decorated with throwback Drake photos that most of us have seen online.

DJ Khaled Throws Epic 1st Birthday Bash for Son Asahd at LIV in Miami

Snapchat: DJ Khaled

DJ Khaled threw his son, Asahd, a birthday bash that grown adults would've died to have (*raises hand*).
The We the Best DJ and his son wore matching printed shirts and aqua-colored slacks to the bash.

Ashad's jungle-themed birthday party was held at club LIV at the Fountaine Bleu hotel in Miami. His party was hosted by Diddy and his daddy, Khaled, and among the attendees were LIV owner David Grutman and Jonathan Cheban. Even though this party was at a club, it did take place during the day, probably to keep the guest of honor's bedtime in mind.
With all the extravagance, the Khaled family also made time to give back. They partnered with UNICEF to ask fans to donate to the fund to help children around the world get blankets, toys and books in honor of Asahd's birthday. Some of Asahd's gifts were donated to UNICEF.

Me and my daddy @djkhaled are working with @UNICEF to honor the world’s children and celebrate my 1st birthday. ALL children deserve the right to receive gifts so we are asking #fanluv to make a donation to UNICEF on my behalf. HELP! Donate today! through the link in my bio 🙏🏼

Just Timberlake Returns to Half-Time Stage for Super Bowl LII

SportsIllustrated.com

It was the wardrobe malfunction heard around the world. Actually, many of us didn't even know the phrase wardrobe malfunction until the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake.

14 years after #Nipplegate, Timberlake will once again perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Timberlake made the announcement via social media alongside pal, Jimmy Fallon.

I DO have the time. Half the time...#PepsiHalftime #SBLII @Pepsi @NFL @JimmyFallon @FallonTonight pic.twitter.com/4Z4Dz29l3X

— Justin Timberlake (@jtimberlake) October 23, 2017

In an interview with NBC Sports' Mike Tirico, Timberlake says there won't be another malfunction.

I'm looking forward to this. Timberlake has definitely matured from his last Super Bowl performance and hopefully has learned to no longer throw legends under the bus.

Throwback Monday

                                In honor of National Boss Day, what other way to celebrate than with the Boss himself!

So much is going on in our world right now and we just need to heal and come back to love.
Usually I'm not this into my feelings on the blog, but my day job is in news and covering the tragedy in Las Vegas last week and the devastating fires in the Bay Area today, I feel this is the musical hug we all need.

Mass Shooting at Las Vegas Country Music Festival is Deadliest in American History

theheavy.com

Waking up to the news in Las Vegas broke my heart.
You all know news is my day job, and working the story and already knowing how to cover stories like this hurt my heart because this is becoming so common.
I shouldn't know how to cover a story like this.
The shooting in Vegas struck a chord more than before because I was just there. Vegas has always been a place I felt safe.
Also, to take into account that this occurred at a music festival, as a concert and festival attendee this hurt even more.
Is nowhere safe?

The shooting killed about 58 people and injured 515.
 Kids were there, on their parents' shoulders.
These people just wanted to see their favorite artists perform at the Route 91 Harvest festival. They were all there for one thing. music.
This all occurred while country star Jason Aldean performed.
Since then celebrities expressed their sorrow and pain following this ordeal.

My heart is breaking for Las Vegas. We need love, unity, peace, gun control & for people to look at this & call this what it is = terrorism.

— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) October 2, 2017

Tonight has been beyond horrific. I still dont know what to say but wanted to let everyone know that Me and my Crew are safe. My Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved tonight. It hurts my heart that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun night. #heartbroken #stopthehate

Vegas. Heart breaks.
Prayers, love, support and strength to the victims and their families. Hug our loved ones that much tighter today.

Prayers for all those affected, but we all know now that prayers aren't enough. We say this too often now.

Throwback Monday

                                   I was going to refrain from posting a throwback this week due to the tragedy in Las Vegas. However, due to the recent passing of Tom Petty, I felt this song was very appropriate for the mood of today and what we all need as human beings during this time.
