NY Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul Right Index Finger Amputated
Today, ESPN’s Adam Schefter shared medical documents showing that JPP had his right index finger amputated today (July 8). As bad as that sounds, the decision to remove the finger was done in order for the Pro Bowl player be able to return to the field as soon as possible. Currently in the recovery phase, JPP has a timetable of 2 months to be able to get back onto the field. Coming off a season where he raked in 12.5 sacks, the world will see how effective he can be moving forward.
Another interesting point of contention to the story is Pierre-Paul rejecting the Giants hospital visit, as well as refusing any of their medical assistance. The animosity could be related to the retraction of the large $60M contract, as well as the team placing the franchise tag on him. A contract he has yet to sign. It will be interesting to see how things play out given the circumstances.

Floyd Mayweather Stripped of Title
The WBO stripped pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather of his welterweight world title on Monday for his failure to comply with the organization’s rules.
Mayweather claimed the WBO welterweight title when he outpointed Manny Pacquiao on May 2 in a 147-pound unification fight that shattered all financial records for a boxing match, including total gross, pay-per-view subscriptions, closed circuit revenue, live gate, foreign television sales and sponsorships.
Mayweather, who holds two other alphabet welterweight world titles, let come and go the 4:30 p.m. ET Friday deadline by which he had to pay a $200,000 sanctioning fee from the May 2 fight (for which he earned more than $220 million) and vacate the two junior middleweight titles he also holds.

Cosby said he got drugs to give women for sex In ’05
Bill Cosby admitted in 2005 that he got quaaludes with the intent of giving them to young women he wanted to have sex with, and that he gave the sedative to at least one woman and “other people,” according to documents obtained Monday by The Associated Press.
That woman and a second woman testified in the same case that they knowingly took quaaludes from him, according to the unsealed documents.
The AP had gone to court to compel the release of the documents from the deposition in a sexual abuse lawsuit filed by former Temple University employee Andrea Constand — the first of a cascade of sexual abuse lawsuits against him. Cosby’s lawyers had objected on the grounds that it would embarrass their client.
No Sex for Ciara
In a Q&A with The Rock Church in San Diego, as he sat down with someone he has apparent history with, Russell Wilson detailed that he declared that he would be with Ciara before they even met, and they have yet to engage in the physical part of their relationship.
I told her…If you can really love somebody without that, then you can really love somebody.
Wilson is sticking to his religious guts, and later in the interview, he and his interviewer will share a joke alluding to the fact that he’s got marital plans for the “I Bet” singer, who, less than a year ago, was engaged to the rapper Future.
Google Apologizes After App Identifies Black People As Gorillas
Tech giant Google is having to run some major damage control after one of the company’s photo-sharing apps misidentified some Black people as — wait for it — gorillas.
Jacky Alciné, a Brooklyn-based programmer, tweeted a screenshot of photos he had uploaded to Google Photos of himself and a female friend, also Black, which the app automatically labeled “gorillas.” Yontan Zunger, an engineer and the company’s chief architect of Google+, wasted no time responding to Alciné’s tweet. “This is 100% Not OK,” he wrote, and promised that Google’s Photos team was working on a fix. Still, Alciné had to wonder, “What kind of sample image data you collected that would result in this son?”

AUGUST ALSINA GOING BLIND?
“For a while I had an issue with seeing,” Alsina revealed. “It was hard for me to see. So I just was driving one day and I saw this little spot for your eyes or whatever and I stopped through and basically the result was, the doctor told me, ‘You have this rare disease.’ Of course when somebody tells you that, you’re like, ‘You’re on some bullsh*t.’ I’m not hearing that, I’m not accepting that, I’m not believing that. At the end of the day, I went to see another doctor and he said the same thing so I didn’t have a choice but to accept it – if my right eye was like how my left eye is, I wouldn’t be able to drive or do anything.” (Power 105.1)

Bobbi Kristina Brown is being moved to hospice care after months in the hospital.

Last week a source connected to the Brown family told FOX411 that the 22-year-old is in a vegetative state.

Christopher Brown, legal counsel for Bobby Brown, released a statement Friday addressing media reports on her condition.
“Bobbi Kristina is not going home to die as numerous news affiliates and websites have reported,” he said.

Amazon Joins Walmart & EBay and Removes Confederate Flag
Facing pressure from angry consumers, Amazon on Tuesday joined other big retailers in deciding to remove Confederate battle flag merchandise from its offerings.
The giant online retailer followed Walmart, Sears and eBay in discontinuing sales of such products after the shooting of nine black parishioners in a South Carolina church by a white gunman. Etsy, the online retailer, also decided to drop flag-related items.
The killings have renewed a focus on the Confederate flag, which had been displayed in photographs of the gunman.

On Tuesday, as the flag continued to be held up as a symbol of hatred and slavery, South Carolina lawmakers were considering whether to have it taken down.

Janet Jackson’s indelible mark on the world of music transcends decades and generations, and because of that, BET is honored to recognize the Queen of Pop with the first-ever Ultimate Icon: Music Dance Visual Award at the 2015 BET Awards.
“This is Janet Jackson, people! We are excited beyond belief to present her with our inaugural ULTIMATE ICON: Music Dance Visual award and we are thrilled that she chose the BET Awards as the first step on her new road,” said Stephen G. Hill, BET’s President of Programming. “An inspiration to many other artists, ‘Ms. Jackson’ (’cause I’m nasty) blends music, dance and visuals in unique and groundbreaking ways and we look forward to celebrating her storied history… as well as giving the BET Awards audience a peek into her Unbreakable future.”
As she makes her grand return to the music scene, Jackson will be honored like the music royal that she is with performances from three of her biggest contemporary admirers: Tinashe, Jason Derulo and Ciara.
Ms. Jackson’s comeback has already begun with her first single, “No Sleeep,” from her upcoming album — her first in seven years — officially premiering yesterday (June 22). The Ultimate Icon: Music Dance Visual award will be another honor that Jackson can add to her résumé as she currently holds six Grammys, two Emmys, a Golden Globe, and many others. She is also the first African-American female artist to have hit singles in each of the last four decades, proving that she is very much deserving of this prestigious distinction.
Update: Diddy Free on Bail & Facing 20 Years in Prison
Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is free on bail after being arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, among other counts, stemming from an alleged incident on the UCLA campus, according to police and school officials.

No one was seriously injured, police said. Combs was freed from jail just after 10 p.m., according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department records.

SC governor calls for Confederate flag to come down
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said Monday the Confederate flag should be removed from the grounds of the state capitol, reversing her position on the divisive symbol amid growing calls for it to be removed.
The Republican’s about-face comes after nine black church members were gunned down, allegedly by a young white man who embraced the flag as a symbol of white supremacy.
“150 years after the end of the Civil War, the time has come,” Haley said after rousing applause, surrounded by Democrats and Republican lawmakers. “That flag, while an integral part of the past, does not represent the future of our great state”
The flag has flown in front of the state capitol for 15 years after being moved from atop the Statehouse dome.
U.S. Sens. Lindsay Graham and Tim Scott, an African-American appointed by Haley, were standing with Haley during her announcement. When she finished, she hugged Scott and South Carolina’s only other black congressman, Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn.

The Starz Original drama POWER, from Executive Producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and show creator Courtney Kemp Agboh (“The Good Wife”), returns with an explosive Second Season on Saturday, June 6th at 9/8c.
SYNOPSIS:
The new episodes pick up at the conclusion of last season: James “Ghost” St. Patrick is doubling down on his drug business to save his nightclub and his dream of a legitimate future. But Ghost’s work troubles pale in comparison to the complexity of juggling his relationship with his wife, Tasha, and first love, Angela, who is also an Assistant United States Attorney investigating his drug organization. Ghost’s plans are further set back by his business partner and best friend Tommy, who loves the drug game, and his former mentor, Kanan, who is fresh out of jail and looking for revenge.
Ghost is in a race against himself: Can he get out of the drug game alive before Angela discovers who he is?

The former Death Row Records CEO—who has spent the majority of 2015 behind bars— is now being sued by Lilian Carter—the widow of Terry Carter who Knight allegedly ran over and killed back in January—for wrongful death. The incident took place near the location of a promotional shoot for the forthcoming N.W.A biopic, Straight Outta Compton.
Among the defendants named in the lawsuit are Straight Outta Compton producers Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, as well as Universal Studios for “failing to provide adequate security and negligence on the set of the upcoming film,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
