Today that includes Serena Williams taking some heat and Chuck D teaming up with the MLB as an ambassador… Here are her stories from today.
Serena Williams Taking Heat For Pregnancy Photos
Serena Williams is expecting her second child with her husband Alexis Ohanian. The two have a 6-year-old daughter, Olympia. Williams recently shared a picture of herself donning a Gucci outfit while showing off her baby bump. Some people in the comments section took issue with the fact that you can see her naked belly in the picture, comparing her to Rihanna. Rihanna was seen showing off her bare baby bump several times while pregnant. Fans of Williams quickly came to her defense in the comments.
According to AtlantaBlackStar.com, one commenter said, “SO that’s what it looks like when a pregnant woman got abs.”
Williams and her husband announced on the red carpet at the Met Gala back in May that they were expecting again and thy recently announced they are expecting another little girl.

Friday night is the Hip Hop 50 Live at Yankee Stadium concert, Chuck D will serve as Major League Baseball’s special correspondent while creating content for all of the MLB’s platforms. Chuck D is a co-founder of Public Enemy and a lifelong baseball fan, so the collaboration works out perfectly.

The Best Show Ever is asking for your help getting local teachers the classroom supplies they need:
The Teachers Of The Delaware Valley Need Our Help
As the '23-'24 school year approaches, thousands of teachers in the Delaware Valley will face the annual struggle of securing supplies for their classrooms. It's not uncommon for them to spend a fair amount of their own money on basic supplies. Things like pencils, markers, whiteboards, and notebooks. The things we would all think of as essentials for a functioning classroom.
According to a 2021 survey published in Yahoo Finance!, teachers spend about $750 on average every year on classroom supplies. Much of that cost comes to help kick off the school year. And the prices of these supplies continue to go up, while teacher salaries stay the same.
We'd like to ease the burden with your help. We asked our Fanatic listeners who are teachers to submit a wish list so we could help them start the year off strong. But we could use your help making sure each of them get the supplies they need. Every little bit can help. Even if you can just help them buy one item for $1, we appreciate any support you can give.
Check out the list of Fanatic listeners/teachers below who have each submitted a Wish List filled with basic teaching necessities.
