It's time to support your local businesses, museums
You cooked. You ate. You cleaned. You watched football and parades. On Black Friday, you braved crowds for sales. Now, the weekend is here to support small businesses. Nine years ago, Small Business Saturday was added to the Thanksgiving week calendar to bring millions of customers into the small and local businesses that are the backbone of communities. And a newer day worthy of your holiday shopping attention this weekend: Museum Store Sunday. Julie Steiner, director of retail operations at the Barnes Foundation, a Philadelphia museum, says, "Museum Store Sunday gives people a chance to support local businesses, give back to the community through local nonprofit museums, support good causes, find unique holiday gifts and enjoy an entertaining and educational experience at favorite museums, all at the same time."
European Union leaders due to sign off Brexit deal
British Prime Minister Theresa May will head to Brussels this weekend to try and strike a deal for Brexit in time for a summit of European Union leaders on Sunday. The EU leaders are due to sign off the agreement Sunday, which lays out the terms of Britain’s departure from the bloc in March and sets up a framework for future relations. But Spain remains unsatisfied over the future of Gibraltar, a tiny territory at the tip of the Iberian Peninsula which was ceded to Britain in 1713 but is still claimed by Spain. Spanish government spokeswoman Isabel Celaa said Friday that Spain requires an “absolute guarantee” that any future agreement between the EU and the U.K. in matters regarding Gibraltar “will require the prior agreement of Spain.”
Kim Porter, model and Diddy's ex-girlfriend, laid to rest
Kim Porter, the former girlfriend and mother of three of Diddy's children, will be buried in her hometown of Columbus, Georgia, on Saturday. Porter, who was born in Columbus and later moved to Atlanta to pursue a modeling and acting career, died at her Los Angeles home on Nov. 15. The cause of death has not yet been established by the Los Angeles County coroner-medical examiner's office. Following her sudden death, Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, paid tribute to his "soulmate" in a touching Instagram post. The private funeral will be at a local church in Columbus, with interment to follow in Evergreen Memorial Park near Porter's mother and grandmother. She was 47.

As Kanye's '808s and Heartbreak' turns 10, will he ever inspire us again?
Kanye West has had quite the year —– he visited President Donald Trump at the White House, sang karaoke with Mark Zuckerberg, had a memorable "Saturday Night Live" appearance and ate bugs in Detroit. On Saturday, the rapper will celebrate another milestone of sorts as his "808s and Heartbreak" album turns 10 years old. Critics haven’t waited for the album’s anniversary to hail it a classic. Books' worth of essays have been written about "808s" as the precedent for the next 10 years of hip-hop, depicting how West's moody vocals and minimalist club beats inspired a generation of artists to blur the line between singing and rapping, to overshare their emotions in openly-emo lyrics. USA TODAY's Maeve McDermott, who categorized the album as a "groundbreaking release" in hip-hop, wonders if the controversial artist will "ever be able to inspire in the same way again."
