At only 25 years old, that’s not bad… So where is all of this money coming from?

You've seen Goose Wayne on the Dr. Phil show, you've seen him via PewDiePie and you've seen him on Instagram. After joining the army on a whim at the age of 21, Goose knew that helping people was what he was destined to do. The only thing left was that he needed an alter ego. Unlike the real Bruce Wayne who took the form of what he was afraid of, this man took the form of what he admired most. Bent on helping the innocent, and maybe even coming home with some beers, this real life caped crusader would hit the streets of Florida dawning the signature Batman mask. One that he purchased on Amazon, I went to the site and it looks like the mask set him back at most, a cool $100.

Jussie Smollett's Chicago Incident has quickly become the biggest scandal of 2019. Having dominated news headlines during the end of January we are nearing the end of February and this story is showing no signs of slowing down. The actor slash singer, best known for his role of Jamal Lyon on Empire was a promising thespian as well as a recording artist with a career that has spanned almost four decades. When he wasn't working on popular television shows the dude was doing everything else from folding clothes in retail to even working as a clown at children's parties.

Jordyn Woods grew up outside of Hollywood, but it turns out you don't need to live in the heart of tinsel town to become acquainted with the stars. And I don't mean just reality TV personalities. I'm talking about A-list movie stars. It was the son of one of these A-listers that introduced her to her soon-to-be best friend Kylie. Since then, Jordyn has had ties to both the Jenner and Kardashian families. She's appeared on several television shows involving both iconic clans including Life of Kylie and Keeping Up With the Kardashians. She also briefly appeared into Our Daughter, a short film revolving around Kylie's pregnancy. It was reported that for Jordyn's eighteenth birthday, Kylie surprised her with a $70,000 Mercedez Benz. With recent news setting the media on fire, you can say her relationship with the extended family has definitely seen better days. On Tuesday, February 19th, 2019, headlines began popping up stating that Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian had broken. The reason... Tristan was apparently caught cheating with Jordyn!!!

Killer Mike has one hell of a story. Hailing from the ATL, his family life is one you rarely hear about, especially coming from a rapper. While he has gone to say that his mother sold drugs for a period time, his father actually worked as a police officer. Something tells me that would be one hell of an awkward dinner conversation.

All joking aside, Mike has had an incredible life. One that has shaped his perspective and helped him create socially conscience hip-hop music that is yet to be rivalled. How exactly can you describe. Well it's impossible to box him into one category. As an activist, Mike is one of the rare artists that will walk the walk , never shying away from unpopular conversation. Releasing five solo albums along with another three as part of Run the Jewels that rapper has come a long way from being a simply comic book reader at Atlanta's West End Mall.

Ariana Grande can't be stopped. A singer and actress who has given you more chart topping smashes than pretty much any artist working today, it's no wonder her name has dominated entertainment headlines.
