The Daily Buzz For Nov 21



Kelly Rowland Heads To Dubai To Promote TW Steel Watches, Sparks Engagement Rumors AGAIN
Kelly Rowland was her usually fabulous self as she headed to Dubai this week to do her TW Steel Global Ambassador duties.  Check out her super cute look inside, plus why she's sparking up engagement rumors AGAIN...
In a floral jumpsuit and new blonde highlights, Kelly Rowland hit Dubai this week to visit the honchos at TW Steel timepieces.  And to do her ambassador duties at the Hour Choice store inside the Emirates Mall.
Kelly, who has custom designed her own piece for the company to sell, rocked a fun pink timepiece with her look.
But back here in the states:
Kelly was seen on a video on her manager/rumored boo Tim Weatherspoon's account over the weekend wishing a friend Happy Birthday.  And she was flashing a mighty suspicious diamond rock on her ring finger.
She's sparked rumors before with rocking diamond rings and being boo'd up with her manager.  But none of those rumors ended up being true.  As for this time around, time will tell...



GOP Congressman Trey Radel Charged In DC Coke Bust
Republican Rep. Trey Radel, newly elected to office last November, is taking a page out of disgraced Canada mayor Rob Ford's coke buying book. The junior congressman from Florida pleaded guilty today (Nov. 20) in court after he was busted buying powder in Washington last month.
Rep. Radel's troubles began on October 29 where he was caught in a DEA drug sting with the help of a dealer who said one of his clients was a member of Congress. Radel bought 3.5 grams of coke in the deal, and was promptly nabbed on the spot. Yesterday Radel, 37, expressed disappointment in a statement.
"I have let my constituents down, my country down and, most importantly, my wife and child down," Radel said, also adding he has struggles with alcohol that led to his choice to use coke. "This led to an extremely irresponsible choice. Believe me, I am disappointed in myself, and I stand ready to face the consequences of my actions."
Radel got off lucky with just having to serve a year-long probation and a $250 fine for the misdemeanor charge. The irony of Radel's arrest, however, is his support of a bill calling for food stamp recipients to be tested for drugs. Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi mentioned Rep. Radel's folly and threw a jab at the GOP at a Buzzfeed event last night.
“It's really interesting it came on the heels of Republicans voting on everyone who had access to food stamps get drug tested. It's like, what?” said Pelosi.
Interesting indeed. The Florida Democratic Party has demanded Radel's resignation, but the congressman has yet to publicly respond to that request. Radel is the first sitting member of Congress to be busted for drugs since 1982.

What Happened to LGBT Model Ryan Singleton?
family seeks answers 2 months after married gay model, 24, was found dead in the California desert with his organs missing, A mother is desperately seeking answers two months after her former male model son's body was found with its organs missing in the California desert.
Ray Singleton, a gay 24-year-old aspiring writer and filmmaker who married a celebrity stylist last year, vanished in July after flying from his Atlanta home to Los Angeles for a short vacation.
He rented a car for a trip to Las Vegas but as he drove through the Mojave Desert on July 9, his car broke down near Baker and he was picked up by a Highway Patrol Officer.
He was driven to a rest stop in Baker and once there, he called a friend who lived three hours away and asked for help, his family told Fox News.
But when the friend arrived, there was no sign of Singleton and a missing person's report was filed.
It was two months before joggers came across Singleton's decomposing body, which was missing its organs and miles from his car, investigators told his mother, Iris Flowers. She said she now knows little more about his death than she did then - when investigators called her and said: 'Ma'am, there were no eyes, there was no heart, there were no lungs, there was no liver, there were no kidneys.'
The San Bernardino County Coroner’s Office said there was no official cause of death after the body was found, but that 'the body was severely decomposed. Animals might have been involved.'

Although experts for the channel agreed that Singleton's organs were most likely scavenged by animals, she said she believes there is something more suspicious at work - like organ dealers.
Flowers told Fox News: 'I'm waiting for answers. I'm in a holding pattern right now... I don’t know anything other than that my son was found with no organs in his body.'
While she is certain that foul play was involved, she said she does not know of a possible motive.
His partner, Kithe Brewster, who has styled celebrities from Beyonce to Gwen Stefani, also appealed for answers and has voiced his determination to catch whoever was responsible.
'We still no [sic] nothing from California we still have no answers!' he wrote on Facebook.
'But if you know anything about Kithe Brewster I can I will find them and the people who took him away will be caught! I can accomplish I will! I've always lived by this and I continue to live by this in all I do!'
He suggested that Singleton could have been targeted as he was openly gay, or he could have fallen victim to an organ theft ring.
He added that he does not believe his husband was killed where he was found, and instead suggested that he was killed and then put back there.
Nancy Scheper-Hughes, a medical anthropologist and professor at the University of California, Berkeley, told Fox it is 'highly unlikely' that Singleton was killed so his organs could be harvested.

That's the case with the Nike CJ81 Megatron Trainer Max, which also comes with a Transformers toy figure.

Johnson's signature appears alongside the iconic DECEPTICON shield on MEGATRON'S chest.

Top things off is the limited edition Megatron Rises 3-Pack which includes the aforementioned kicks and the Nike CJ81 Megatron Elite TD Cleat.
