In 2012 they were inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame. DeGrate rapped for the group and rarely sang lead vocals. He wrote songs and produced some of the group’s tracks. DeGrate released his debut solo album Met.a.m.or.Phic in 2000. He signed with Def Jam Recordings to record his second album Met.a.m.or.Phic 2: The Rivalry Of A Singer & A Rapper. The album featured Method Mad, Ludacris, and Redman but was never released after a dispute between Dalvin and the label....

Before “DWTS,” Hough trained in dance in London, where he lived for ten years studying various dance styles and performing in theater productions. He and his sister Julianne Hough (also a dancer) were part of a pop music group called 2B1G. Beyond dancing, Derek has expanded his career into choreography, acting, and judging. He won two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Choreography for his work on “DWTS.” As an actor, he appeared in productions like “Make Your Move” and NBC’s “Hairspray Live!...

She went on to appear in the short lived MTV series Short Circuitz, Flight of the Conchords, Unhitched, and was a series regular in HBO’s unaired 12 Miles of Bad Road; she also had a recurring role in Samantha Who?.

But aside from the early success, Onyx broke up after their 1998 album, Shut ‘Em Down (Def Jam). Consequently, Starr went on solo and has released three albums to date: Firestarr (2001), Don’t Get Mad Get Money (2003) and the latest one Firestarr 2 (#FS2) (2013). At the same time, he has built a firm acting resume (even with no formal training), starring in various TV shows and several movies....

It has been just five years since 46-year-old Rafati started his juice empire. He credits the juice with saving his life, something he wrote about in his memoir I Forgot To Die. Rafati was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1969, the son of a Polish Jewish mother and a Palestinian Muslim father. His parents raised him Roman Catholic. He was sexually abused as a child and had run ins with the law....

Mr. Burrell and Mr. Kao began developing domestic versions, introducing GPS systems for cars, in 1998. Garmin went public in 2000, and Mr. Burrell served as CEO until 2004. He still serves as Chairman Emeritus, with Min Kao serving as acting Chairman. He currently owns over 15% of the company. Garmin is based in Kansas City and is known for its face-to-face customer service model.

A van was cruising down Interstate 580 in Castro Valley when an unspecified cell phone violation alerted the California Highway Patrol officer who then attempted to pull the van over. As the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office tells it, at that point a second vehicle – this one, a car – pulled in front of the patrol car in order to distract the cop and let the van get away, the first indication that this was not going to be a routine traffic stop....

We couldn’t find any evidence that Rhode had raised money at a $1.44 billion valuation — or that it had raised money at all. After digging a bit deeper, we theorized that the $1.44 billion figure was the result of a potential AI-generated mixup, where pieces of a completely different story got Frankensteined together into something new. Specifically, in February 2025, Rhode appointed a new CEO named Nick Vlahos. Nick previously served as CEO of The Honest Company, which went public at a $1....

Daisy Fuentes didn’t follow that script. Arguably the most famous MTV VJ of the 1990s—and unquestionably the first Latina to ever hold the role—Fuentes was beloved by fans across the board. She brought a bilingual, bicultural swagger to the screen, effortlessly cool in both English and Spanish, hosting “MTV Internacional” and “House of Style” with the same confidence and charm. When her VJ tenure wrapped up in the late ’90s, it would’ve been easy to assume she’d ride off into nostalgic obscurity, remembered mostly for her interviews with grunge bands and pop stars....

His debut album Trumpet Africaine was released in 1962 on Mercury Records and he has released numerous records through 2012. In 1968 Masekela was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Pop Performance – Instrumental for Grazin’ in the Grass.

When she first began her modeling career as a 14-year-old, she began using heroin....

Naturally, Michigan expected similar success. But the Wolverines have been largely disappointed since Harbaugh took over. His first two seasons have been arguably his best — the team finished 10-3 both years, good enough to finish at 12th and 10th, respectively, in the AP poll. However, it’s now been six seasons and the Wolverines have failed to reach the College Football Playoff. They’ve only even reached the Big Ten title game once in that span, and are sitting at a dismal 2-4 this year....

When DeJoria started selling Paul Mitchell shampoo door-to-door he was coming from experience with that type of sales. When DeJoria was 20, he got a job selling Collier’s Encyclopedias door-to-door. Today, we have the internet to answer our every burning question, but back in the mid-1960s, people relied on encyclopedias. A typical door-to-door encyclopedia salesman lasted just three days. DeJoria sold those encyclopedias for three years. A friend of his then suggested he try his hand at the beauty industry....

Portnoy went on to accuse Canseco of “taking a dive,” a characterization that Canseco seemed to take issue with on his perennially eccentric Twitter account: “Get my name out of your filthy New England chowder filled mouth @stoolpresidente You’re a liar & a greasy salesmen (sic)…You and your Barstool minions need to put down the marijuana and focus on your failing business #CrumblingEmpire” This was in response to a previous tweet by Portnoy in which he made the accusation publicly: “Jose 100% took a dive....

That’s a profit of more than $2 million from the $3.24 million the present owner, real estate industrialist Sam Asgari, got it for at foreclosure auction last summer. Since then, Asgari was battled in court by Spacey, who accused Asgari of “bullying and threatening” him as well as neglecting to “comply with the rules applicable to purchasers following a foreclosure sale.” Asgari had some issues with Spacey’s conduct as well, saying the actor was refusing to vacate the home within the (rent-free, it should be noted) six-month period he was allotted to leave....

To put their one-day loss in perspective, when Charles Koch lost $1.1 billion in one day, it was the equivalent of a $3,400 loss for the average 60-year-old, according to recent statistics. This serves as a good illustration of the limitation of proportional thinking when talking about huge amounts of money, since the average 60-year-old would likely be pretty disturbed to find his or her bank account $3,400 lighter after a single bad day on the stock market....

So it probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that James is making a shrewd business decision off the court, too. He’s left the comfort of established fast food giant McDonald’s, and has now invested in Blaze, a smaller but rapidly growing pizza company where diners can create their meal via an assembly line – think Chipotle, but for pizzas. The potential is huge for LeBron, and he’s hoping for an outcome similar to that of his investment in Beats By Dre....

Neeson and his late wife Natasha Richardson purchased the dwelling in 1999, paying $3 million for three formerly separate units at the Park Millennium building in Lincoln Square. While modest by Hollywood movie star standards, the condo still boasts five beds and five baths across about 4,500 square feet of living space. And as the listing points out, the location almost literally could not be better: “Just one block from Central Park, high above Lincoln Square, this home enjoys epic vistas from an unbeatable location,” it boasts....
