 Drake Paid A Surprise Visit To 'Drake

University' And The Students Were Sleeping All through

While on tour in Des Mones, Iowa, Drake made a special visit to Drake University - the post-secondary institution that shares his name - but disappointed fans by arriving in the dead of night. Drake even strolled down the university’s “Greek row” in search of some fans to greet — but apparently everyone must have had a big exam in the morning, because the students seemed to be fast asleep. 

When they woke up in the morning, however, students saw Drizzy’s Instgram and were dismayed to learn they missed out on his visit, and have now launched a "bring bank drake" campaign asking for a do-over. - ET CANADA

Halle Berry Fires Back at Instagram Troll: I Am Not at All Ashamed of My Children

The Kidnapstar shared a picture of her two children,Nahla Aubrey and Maceo Martinez, on Instagram Thursday, but to protect their privacy Berry cropped out half of their faces. All that can be seen is her two kids' beaming smiles and the rest of their bodies, which one Internet troll interpreted as Berry being "ashamed" of her children.

The critic had called out the actress for concealing her children's faces on several occasions, so Berry finally had enough and responded.

"I've noticed you have said this  several times now so let me be  clear-- I'm not at all ashamed of children. I try to find creative ways  to incorporate them into my feed  because they are the biggest part  of my life, but I also work very hard  to keep their identities as private as I can considering they are only  children," Berry wrote.

"It's my belief, and I'm not  criticizing others who have different beliefs, that it's my job as their  mother to protect their privacy as  best I can. When they grow and  they're of age and they want share  their images on the internet, that  will be for them to decide, not me.  Feel me? Have a beautiful day."
