Model Kim Porter, the former girlfriend of rapper Diddy, has died. She was 47. "Sadly, I can confirm the passing of Kim Porter. I ask that you give the families privacy at this time," her representative, Cindi Berger, confirmed to USA TODAY. TMZ reports that the model and actress was found dead in her Los Angeles area home Thursday after authorities responded to a 911 call of a "patient in cardiac arrest." LAPD spokesperson Jeff Lee also confirmed to USA TODAY that "homicide detectives are at the scene of 10300 of Woodridge, conducting a death investigation of a female to determine if there is any foul play involved."  Lee adds that the call came at 11:38 this morning. Porter had an on-again, off-again relationship with Diddy (born Sean Combs) that spanned over a decade. The pair officially called it quits in 2007 after 13 years of dating, but have remained friendly, often spending holidays together. Porter frequently posted photos of Diddy o

You Can Finally Use Your iPhone On Google Fi, But There's A Big Catch

Announced earlier today, Google has rebranded their cellular service as Google Fi. Perhaps even more importantly, you no longer have to use a Pixel phone to be able to use the service. Google Fi is now available for multiple Android devices as well as Apple iPhones running iOS. What's Google Fi? Formerly Project Fi, it's Google's "pay for what you use, month-to-month" cell service. There are no contracts and you pay $20 for unlimited talk and text per month, plus $10 per GB of data used. Even nicer, when you pay for an extra GB of data, but don't use it all, Google will give you a credit towards your next month of Fi equal to the unused portion. I used Project Fi for a month in 2016 and, while I enjoyed the service, determined I was going to end up paying way too much in data costs to make the service work for me. Plus, having to leave my iOS ecosystem behind to convert to Android was a hurdle I wasn't ready to face. However, a lot can change in

How the Avengers: Endgame trailer hints that Captain Marvel will save the day (and Iron Man)

Image
The trailer for Avengers 4 — now officially titled Avengers: Endgame — arrived on Friday morning, offering a first look at the final chapter of the Avengers cinematic saga and raising a couple big questions in the process. Unlike Avengers trailers of the past, the Avengers: Endgame trailer does not contain snippets of giant fight scenes, nor do we see our favorite superheroes show off any of their powers. Thanos, the main villain of Avengers: Infinity War, barely makes an appearance outside of one scene where he’s walking through a field. Instead, we see characters like Captain America and Black Widow mourning their vaporized colleagues and trying to figure out a plan to save the world. There are also moments featuring Hawkeye in a new costume and Nebula looking down and out. (In its own perverse way, it would be hilarious if the fate of the universe somehow came down to Hawkeye.) But there are individual scenes involving two Avengers — one with Iron Man being lonely in space,
