Adele's Boyfriend Planning to Propose?

Rumor has it that Adele’s boyfriend Simon Konecki is currently in the market for a diamond ring.
After news revealed the “Rolling in the Deep” singer’s pregnancy, Us Weekly reported that the 38-year-old non-profit CEO is ready for a wedding and a source said, “"He was planning to propose anyway!"

The 23-year-old performer is more than four months along and took to her webpage on Friday (June 29) to share, "I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx."

The publication goes on to say that a friend revealed that Adele "wants a low-key affair where her mother gives her away,” adding, “she wants to be a wife and mom."

RED, WHITE,AND KABOOM! Beyonce VS Kim Kardashian?

Uh oh! The boys are leaving it to the girls to battle out their issues. A source tells me Kanye isn’t going to ask Jay-Z to make things better!
Kanye West is totally swooning over Kim Kardashian, but not enough to pick her over his friends.
A source claims that Kanye, 35, and Jay-Z, 42, aren’t going to try and force Beyonce and Kim to be friends.
“Kim and Beyonce aren’t tight at all, but I don’t think Kanye is going to approach Jay-Z with that nonsense. He’s about making money and making music and he’s leaving the temper-tantrums to the girls,” a source tells says

Kim attended the BET Awards with Kanye on July 1 and hung out with Beyonce and Jay-Z all night, but it was clear from just watching the show that their interactions were a bit awkward. However, a source tells us that Kanye is totally in love with Kim, but he doesn’t want to jeopardize his friendship and music by getting caught up in the girl drama.

“Make no mistake, he really likes Kim and made her feel comfortable the entire night. They were backstage hamming it up and kissing and just had a fun time,” a source tells us. “Jay-Z and Kanye are in it to win it and their women will be all right in time. I’m not saying they’re going to be besties, but they will be cordial.”

Hmm! What do you think, Chroniclers? Should Kanye try and help Kim and Beyonce be friends?

Michael Jordan’s Son ‘Marcus Jordan’ Arrested

UCF senior guard Marcus Jordan, 21-year-old son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, was arrested outside a hotel in Omaha. The officer said Jordan, who appeared to be intoxicated, was arguing with two females. Police told the paper Jordan became uncooperative when the officer approached him and it eventually took multiple police officers to handcuff him.
According to the paper, Jordan was booked in the Douglas County Department of Corrections for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and obstructing. He was since been released.

Jordan, a rising senior, averaged 13.7 points a game for UCF last season.
His status with the team has been in flux. Jordan opted not to enroll in UCF summer classes and attend option workouts with his teammates. He was debating whether to return for his senior season or pursue business opportunities and the possibility of playing overseas.

Kelly Price Upset Over Unfair Treatment At Airport In Houston, Texas

Kelly Price was in Houston, Texas on her way to another gig in Mobile, Alabama to perform for her fans at the Funk Fest.

Frank Ocean “Opens Up” About Bisexuality on ‘Channel Orange’ Album

The R&B crooner and amazing song writer known as Frank Ocean is set to release his latest album and embark on his multi-city tour, both tentatively titled ‘Channel Orange‘, but before the album drops we prepare our eyes and ears for the many pre-release reviews. One review from BBC 1 Xtra‘s Max has posted a preview via her personal webblog with the following excerpt, which you can view after the jump!

Frank has also opened up about his sexuality on the album, we think it’s brave and admire him for being so honest and sharing such a personal aspect of his life through his music. On the songs ‘Bad Religion’ ‘Pink Matter and ‘Forrest Gump’ you can hear him sing about being in love and there are quite obvious words used like ‘him’ and not ‘her’.

In the world we live in now we can’t see this being an issue or why it should be?? But we do commend him for not continuing a facade and conforming to what a Hip Hop so called rule book expects, we say live your life and be yourself. If you love women and men, that’s your business.

Powerful and unexpecting to say the least, we can only wait to hear these mentioned songs when the album releases. But before that, we ask the entire urban world: Would this potential news help or harm Frank Ocean’s career? 

Will it make some fans turn against his highly respected craft? What are your thoughts Chroniclers?

Former "BBW" Star Jennifer Williams' ESTRANGED Husband Eric Williams ACCUSED Of FATHERING Secret LOVE CHILD?!

Former "BBW" star Jennifer Williams was hit with a bombshell recently when a woman accused her husband Eric Williams of fathering her baby! As she works through the legal issues of her pending divorce, Jennifer Williams was jolted recently after a woman in Pennsylvania claimed to have gotten knocked up by her estranged husband Eric Williams.

According to TMZ, Tavia Serena Cannon filed a Complaint for Support in PA last week claiming Eric is her baby's daddy and she wants some child support cash. Tavia, who claims she gave birth in October 2011, says the child was conceived in early 2011 BEFORE Jen filed for divorce in June.

Sources close to Jen say she didn't know about Tavia and this comes as a surprise. But did it? And with her divorce is still pending in a NJ court, I'm sure she'll ask Eric to hit up a paternity test since the cheating may just help her case.
