Is Beyoncé Still Not FEELING Kim Kardashian??
All that money Kim Kardashian has, she still isn’t good enough to hang with Beyoncé. Over the weekend the two were attending the Made in America festival in Philadelphia with their men. Kim and Beyoncé barely spoke to each other, they were on opposite sides of the stage. Sources are saying Beyoncé gave Kim a casual wave of the hand and said a dry “hello” and then kept walking. Also sources are saying Kim has given up trying to be Beyoncé friend, because the singer has made it very clear that she wants nothing to do with the Kim.
Do you think Beyoncé is wrong?
The Colombian Cocaine Queen has been ASSASINATED!
A ruthless drug smuggler known as the 'Godmother of Cocaine' who was jailed in the U.S. for three chilling murders has been gunned down by a motorcycle-riding hitman.
Griselda Blanco, 69, was believed to have ordered dozens of executions during the notorious 'cocaine cowboys' era of the 1970s and 80s in Miami.
In a grim irony, the mode of her killing was eerily similar to the brutal drive-by killings she herself introduced to slaughter her enemies.
Although she was suspected of murdering many more, the Colombian was eventually convicted of three killings in 1985, including that of a two-year-old boy, for which she served nearly 20 years behind bars.
In 2004, she was deported to her native country and maintained a low profile in her hometown of Medellin.
According to Columbian press reports, she was walking out of a butcher's shop yesterday when two gunmen on motorbikes pulled up before one pumped two bullets into her head.
For a woman who had been credited with inventing the notion of a 'motorcycle assassin', the manner of her death came as no surprise to many, it was reported in The Miami Herald.
'Made many enemies': Brought up in the slums of Medellin, Blanco went from a simple pickpocket to command an empire that shipped an estimated 3,400lbs of cocaine a month
Murderous matriarch: Blanco ran her empire with three of her sons, two of whom were later assassinated in Columbia, while three of her husbands have also been killed in drug-related violence
Nelson Andreu, a former Miami homicide detective who had investigated her, said: 'It’s surprising to all of us that she had not been killed sooner because she made a lot of enemies.
'When you kill so many and hurt so many people like she did, it’s only a matter of time before they find you and try to even the score.'
'It's only a matter of time before they find you and try to even the score' Former murder detective Nelson Andreu
Brought up in the slums of Medellin, Blanco went from a simple pickpocket to command an empire that shipped an estimated 3,400lbs of cocaine a month.
She also symbolised the blood-soaked era of the 1970s and 80s when gangs would ambush their rivals in public, leading to her cartel being dubbed the 'Cocaine Cowboys'.
She ran the empire with three of her sons, two of whom were later assassinated in Columbia, while three of her husbands have also been killed in drug-related violence.
Blanco's exploits were also popularised in the 2006 documentary Cocaine Cowboys, which explored the rise of the drug in Miami during the 1970s and 80s which inspired the films Scarface and Miami Vice.
Interviewees argue that Blanco played a major role in the history of the drug trade in the city and other areas across America.
Detectives believe she was behind at least 40 murders and maybe even as many as 240, but could only link her to three.
Two of them, drug dealers Alfredo and Grizel Lorenzo, were shot at their South Miami house after failing to pay $250,000 for 5kg of cocaine.
Blanco was also convicted of ordering a shooting that led to the death of two-year-old Johnny Castro, who was shot twice in the head as he drove in the car with his father, Jesus 'Chucho' Castro.
She was fully expected to end up on Florida's Death Row.
But she was able to cut a plea deal after the prosecution's case suffered a major setback when a chief witness was caught engaging in phone sex with secretaries from the attorney's office.
Blanco later entered into a bargain with new prosecutors and was given three 20-year sentences in 1985. She only served a third of that time.
Prior to the mid-1970s, marijuana had been the main import into Miami and the surrounding areas.
But over the following years this was replaced by more lucrative cocaine.
Crime lords used many different tactics to smuggle drugs into the country, but the main routes were by boat or air.
The distribution networks were highly elaborate and technology such as electronic homing devices were employed to keep track of shipments.
Condominiums were bought near the ocean to act as reconnaissance stations to look out for coast guards and cartels monitored the radio frequencies of Federal, State and local authorities.
Legitimate businesses were then bought to shield these operations from the outside world.
The 2006 documentary Cocaine Cowboys, right, reveals that much of the economic growth in Miami came from the drug trade as the cash that flowed into these businesses went on to indirectly finance the construction of many high-rise buildings in southern Florida.
When law enforcement finally got on top of the corruption, many companies folded because of falling sales.
Terrence J Confirms New E! News Co-Host Gig
We confirmed the news a few weeks ago, but now it’s official. Terrence Jenkins, known as Terrence J on BET’s 106 & Park, has taken his talents to another TV show. He is now the official new cohost for E! News, teaming with Guiliana Rancic. Terrence confirmed the news.
“I’ve always had a passion for the wide spectrum of pop culture that E! News covers so well; I can’t wait to get started. I’ve had a great career so far, and it¹s all been building toward this. And then getting to work with great people like Giuliana and the entire E! News team just makes this seem like an even more perfect opportunity.”
No word on his former co-host Rocsi Diaz’s new gig (we’ve heard from unconfirmed sources that she’s pursuing her acting career), but congrats to both Terrence and Rocsi!

Rihanna is Targeted by PETA for Wearing Snake Skin Boots
Animal rights activists have recently began rave about Rihanna’s recent fashion choices even calling her a “freak”. PETA is slamming the pop star after she was spotted wearing a pair of snake skin boots last week as reported by Rumorfix.
This is what they had to say:
“Rihanna may not have a clue that snakes killed for boots are often nailed to a tree and skinned alive. Of course, they can’t go on Oprah to cry about it,” said a PETA spokesperson, referring to Rihanna’s recent appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s The Next Chapter.
“Wearing reptile skin is creepy and callous, and it makes her look even more out of touch. She and Lady Gaga seem so desperate to be freaks instead of recognized for their talents that you have to wonder if they realize that they are being laughed at.”
Lady Gaga has been at odds with the group for weeks now after she was spotted wearing a fur Hermes coat.
John Travolta Tries to Force Gay Lover to Make a Sex Tape?
John Travolta's gay lover reveals how the actor tried to force him into making a sex tape.
John Travolta used his celebrity status to manipulate his former gay lover, and the man claims in an exclusive new interview that the A-list actor even tried to pressure him to film a sex tape!
Doug Gotterba had a passionate six-year relationship with Travolta while he was his private pilot, and he revealed the shocking news that the Grease star wanted to film their sexual escapades.
“It came up, but I said no,” Gotterba exclusively told the National Enquirer about Travolta asking him to film a sex tape.
“He wanted to film it, and I said no,” he said about the actor’s desire to record their trysts.
Gotterba said that the subject came up “when we were watching porn in his bedroom.”
He told the Enquirer that he met Travolta in February 1981 and they soon became lovers, but that he always felt like the actor was in control of the relationship.
“If he didn’t get his way, I knew about it. Whenever he got his way, I was treated like royalty,” Gotterba explained.
“He used his celebrity and manipulation to get his way.”

Paul Morton Attempts to Separate Church from HIV Reports
There are reports that a minister is infecting women in the Full Gospel Church in Atlanta congregation with HIV. Not only is he passing along a deadly disease but he is reportedly married as well which means he is also committing adultery. Since the story hit the media the pastor of the church has decided to speak out to try and separate himself and the congregation from the incident saying that he is not a minister there, but only the husband of his assistant and is not a member. This is what Straightfromthea reports:
The man he is speaking of is Craig Lamar Davis and while the Bishop attempts to separate himself from the chatter, he actually just made it a bit more interesting.
Morton admits that Craig is the husband of his assistant, but he states it’s not a Full Gospel problem.
Bishop Paul Sylvester Morton, who heads Full Gospel the church, recently issued a bit of clarification on the matter via the social networking site, twitter.
What do you think about the tweets by Bishop Morton. Do you think he is correct in feeling like this is not a church issue? Do you think he helped the situation, or just made himself look bad now?

Lil Scrappy & Erica Dixon Cover Rolling Out Magazine
Check out Lil Scrappy & Erica Dixon cover Rolling Out Magazine . Also check out some of the interview below:
As an engaged man …
Yes, the rumors of Scrappy and Erica’s engagement are, in fact, true. That much was confirmed the moment the couple walked into the photo studio with Erica sporting a gleaming rock on her left hand. As her smile matched the wattage of her bling, the most beloved member of the ”Love & Hip Hop” cast appeared to be taking the big news in stride.
“I’m in a very good place in my life right now,” she shared, while watching Scrappy take some solo photos. “I learned so much about myself through this process with the show, and now I’m just looking forward to this next chapter in my life.”
By why get married?
After all of the ups and downs endured by the pair, why make such a drastic about face instead of easing back into a committed relationship?
It just didn’t make sense from the outside looking in … that is, until you spend time with the pair. The playful petting, the overflow of affection for Emani, and the sincere look of admiration delivered one to the other all points to a foundation that has as good a chance as any to make it in the long run.
For Scrappy though, the decision to put a ring on Erica’s finger appears to be a continuation of his effort to live life in a very grown man type of way. “It was time for me to do something really grown,” he shared. “So I popped the question and the beautiful lady said yes … that’s why she has the ring on her finger. But now we’re just waiting for the next big step. I wasn’t trying to play around with it for a hundred years. I wanted to do something really big. “
Marriage does qualify as something big. But don’t expect a big wedding in an Atlanta church.
“That’s cliché,” Scrappy explained.
What’s not cliché is a couple actually attempting to make their commitment known before God and the world. All it takes is a look at their own television show, and there are countless images that point to anything but marriage. More importantly though, Scrappy and Erica have decided to profess their vows in front of their daughter — which is a powerful image for any child to see.
For better or for worse, the two have decided to venture down the road less traveled in Hollywood. Where it leads, no one can say for sure … but we can only hope that the cameras are there to document every single bit of it.
YAWN!
Hot Shots: Lady GaGa Channels Peacocks In Copenhagen
PETA who?
The above seemed to be the sentiment held by Lady GaGa yesterday, when she stepped out of Hotel Skt. Petri sporting a Peacock inspired head piece.
Rocking the fit just days after being blasted by PETA for her use of fur, the ‘Party Nauseous’ singer was pictured posing with fans as she made her way out of the hotel, days before she arrives in London to perform dates on her ‘Born This Way Ball Tour’.

‘Throw It In The Bag’
I don’t have kids so if someone could let me know if a bag on the head is a common play toy nowadays I’d appreciate it. Honestly, I’m out of the loop so I only have common sense to work off of, which apparently is more than most people, but nonetheless I’d like to know if I’m overreacting to plastic bag on the faces of children.
HAVE A GREAT ONE ALL!!
