Matt Hardy leads Private Party to Impact to become top contenders – Cageside Seats

Kenny Omega isn’t the lone AEW star to cross over to Impact anymore. Add Matt Hardy and Private Party to the list. It began with Hardy and Private Party posting an announcement that they would be appearing on tonight’s Impact Wrestling (Jan. 19, 2021). Their business revolved around the Impact World Tag Team Championship. Chris Sabin brought in James Storm to declare themselves #1 contender to the Good Brothers, and that’s when Hardy and Private Party popped up. Hardy was looking to book Private Party in a warm-up match, so he could earn a 260% payday. Hardy wanted to jump the line for a title shot against the Good Brothers. Instead, that led to a bout against Sabin & Storm in the main event to earn a tag team championship opportunity. Interesting to note, Hardy did no...

BREAKING: The Hall of Presidents Now Closed for Refurbishment at Magic Kingdom – wdwnt.com

With Donald Trump’s last day in office, so too comes the end of the latest version of The Hall of Presidents at the Magic Kingdom. The unannounced final day of operation for the latest version of the show was January 19th, 2021. With no announcement, fanfare, or word to the media, Disney has already closed the Hall of Presidents on the eve of Joe Biden’s inauguration, according to the Walt Disney World website. While Disney hasn’t formally announced anything yet, it can be assumed that Biden will be added to the attraction (in audio-animatronic form, of course) with a speaking role. It’s unclear at this time how much more of the attraction will change as this is the first time a version of the show only existed for one Presidential term, only lasting just over 3 years. If you mis...

Lil Wayne & Kodak Black Pardoned by Donald Trump – Billboard

Carter's pardon was hardly surprising after the Grammy-winning artist inexplicably endorsed Trump for reelection last October and posed for a picture, which he was heavily criticized for on social media. "Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done," Carter wrote in a Twitter message that included the picture. It was on Dec. 23, 2019, that an anonymous tip led Miami police officers and federal agents to search Carter's jet when they found the loaded gun, in addition to reportedly cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana, heroin, pain killers and prescription-strength cough syrup, along with nearly ...

Dallas County shifts access to COVID vaccine — again. Goal is to target most vulnerable neighborhoods – The Dallas Morning News

Dallas County’s health department will begin prioritizing residents in predominately Black and Latino neighborhoods for the COVID-19 vaccine at Fair Park after early limited data showed many shots were going to residents in northern communities. In a divided vote, commissioners shifted the county’s effort to vaccinate anyone who meets the state’s broader criteria — so long as they are registered to get a vaccine with the county and live in one of 10 ZIP codes identified on Tuesday. The county previously was focused on vaccinating residents 75 and older. The ZIP codes are either completely or partly below Interstate 30 — which for decades has split the county by race and wealth. They were selected because they either rank high on the county’s coronavirus vulnerability index, which keeps tr...

The Oregon Health Authority on Monday reported 637 new confirmed or presumptive coronavirus cases and five more fatalities as case counts continued a three-day downward trend. Tuesday represented the third straight day of case counts below 800 and single-digit reports of new deaths.

Ana de Armas cardboard cutout seen in Ben Afflecks trash after breakup – Yahoo Entertainment

Ana de Armas's cardboard cutout is thrown out of ex Ben Affleck's home. (Photo: Image Direct)It’s out with the old — and her cardboard cutout — for Ben Affleck. On Monday, it was confirmed that the actor split with girlfriend Ana de Armas, whom he met on the set of their upcoming film Deep Water. The breakup, after about 10 months together and high-profile quarantine cohabitation, reportedly occurred via phone — though there’s a discrepancy over whether she dumped him or they made a mutual decision. The split occurred “two weeks” ago, stated another report, and Affleck, 48, wasted little time clearing out memories of his Bond girl ex, 32. The same day the split made headlines, someone in a landscaping shirt was spotted throwing out a giant cardboard cutout of the Cuban actress into the ...

Yolo County official says state’s COVID-19 vaccine guidelines are incongruent with reality – KCRA Sacramento

Yolo County says it will run out of COVID-19 vaccine doses in the next week unless it gets more from the state.
