He posted the following message on his Facebook page on October 18:<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve partnered with Aladdin Campus Dining to promote healthier food options at college campuses, where the food is not only healthy for you but it looks good and tastes good too! They are at over 100 college campuses across the country, including 9 HBCUs that are close to my heart. If your school is one of them, make sure to check them out, and if your campus doesn\u2019t partner with them, get them to!\u201d<\/p>\n
In October, the Encino home of \u201cThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills\u201d star Dorit Kemsely was broken into and thousands of dollars in items were stolen by 3 Black males who were captured on video. That footage has been released by the LAPD in hopes of capturing the suspects in that incident. Kemsley was not injured during the incident, but she was accosted by the suspects after they gained entry into her home after breaking a back window. TMZ reported over $100,000 was taken from the reality start and her husband P.K., who was not home at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n
The suspects in that case can be seen dragging a bag of stolen goods through the front yard as they exited the home waiting for a getaway car on standby.<\/p>\n
The LAPD has not released rather the two incidents are connected. A bulletin was released by the police department warning residents to be vigilant and aware of their surroundings after a string of armed robberies and home invasions in the area. In some of the incidents, victims are followed by the suspects from Melrose Avenue, the Jewelry District of Los Angeles, nightclubs and high-end restaurants throughout Los Angeles to their homes and then robbed of their belongings.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact the Robbery-Homicide Division, Robbery Special Section at (213) 486-6840.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
