There’s Hope For You: After photoshopped pic goes viral, fan meets Michael B. Jordan in real life
Much like the rest of us, Bolu Babalola has a thing for Michael “Bae” Jordan. So when the fan tweeted a photoshopped picture out of herself and Jordan, and joked about finding him after a fake hookup, she never thought her fakery that was all in fun, would come into fruition, but it did. ‘

The tweet went viral and Babalola in Black Twitter’s finest form, people started sharing the photo as if they were truly looking for Jordan.
Then Babalola found out that fate would have its way when she was approved to cover a Creed II Q&A in her city of London, where she lives and where Jordan would be attending.
I am going to the Creed II Q&A tomorrow

I am still tripping that he happened to be in London just as I was pulling a stunt like this

At the event, Babalola knew it was time to shoot her shot. She got up, asked a question and then let Jordan know that she was the boo in the viral pic pretending to have been his bae.
And of course, Jordan told her that they had to make a REAL picture happen. Dreams do come true.
When @BeeBabs took the mic, I was like “yesss go on honey, take a chaaance”!

Creed II Opens Strong Over Thanksgiving Weekend
Even though it came in at No. 2, Creed II opened strong over Thanksgiving weekend, with a box office debut of $55.8M across 5 days.
The sequel to the 2015 original, which reunites stars Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson and Sylvester Stallone, dominated the box office along with Disney’s Ralph Breaks the Internet. The animated sequel starring John C. Reilly and Sarah Silvermantook the top spot with an estimated $84.5 million for the 5-day holiday weekend. The original, Wreck It Ralph, bagged $49 million over its first three days of release.
According to early weekend estimates, the massive domestic debut Ralph Breaks the Internet is the second best Thanksgiving opening of all time behind fellow Disney Animation feature Frozen ($93.6 million).
Creed II serves as the eighth installment in the Rocky film series and centers on the son of heavyweight champ Apollo Creed. Stallone reprises his role as Rocky Balboa. The original film grossed over $55 million.
“It’s a thrill to see both its legacy and new generation of audiences continue to respond to Rocky Balboa and Adonis Creed in this time when we need uplifting stories,” said Joanthan Glickman, president of MGM’s motion picture group.
