Beyonce, Jay Z And Solange WE'RE FAMILY NO ISSUES
HERE!
Jay Z, Beyonce and Solange say "families have problems and we're no
different" after a video leaked of Beyonce's sister attacking the rap mogul in a
hotel elevator.
In an exclusive statement to The Associated Press on Thursday, the trio
said they have worked through their differences and moved on since the video
emerged this week showing Solange kicking Jay Z as Beyonce looked
on.
"As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from
Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered
the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has
worked through it," the statement said. "Jay and Solange each assume their share
of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in
this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized
to each other and we have moved forward as a united family."
It was the first comment the performers had made since the website TMZ
posted the 3-minute video on Monday, saying it was shot last week inside the
Standard Hotel. The video, which does not have audio, shows Solange attacking
Jay Z in Beyonce's presence; a security guard intervenes. The footage shows the
performers in the outfits they wore to the Met Gala.
"The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior
throughout that evening are simply false," the statement continued. "At the end
of the day families have problems and we're no different. We love each other and
above all we are family. We've put this behind us and hope everyone else will do
the same."
The hotel said Wednesday it had fired the person who recorded the
video.

people.”
Chris Brown Files
Countersuit Against Man!
Chris Brown is exercising
his legal right and is now counter-suing the man who sued him after an alleged
scuffle at a Los Angeles gym for extortion.
Check out the details
below.
The big homie Chris Brown
is firing back at a man who sued him earlier this year for an alleged scuffle at
a Los Angeles gym. According to court documents obtained by TMZ.com, Chris is
counter-suing Malcolm Ausbon, accusing him of trying to extort
250-thousand-dollars. Before Ausbon went after Brown for allegedly attacking
him during a pick up basketball game, Ausbon’s legal team reportedly sent a
letter demanding the six-figure payout. The compensation was to cover Ausbon’s
”physical and emotional injuries” and would ensure that he didn’t press criminal
charges or move forward with his lawsuit. Ausbon filed his lawsuit after Brown
refused to pay.
Ausbon claimed that Brown
assaulted him over a foul call during a basketball game. In his lawsuit he also
said that Brown boasted about being a member of the Bloods street gang. The
singer’s camp later made it clear that he’s not affiliated with any
gang.

The Celebs Hit The Carpet
For ABC Upfronts
The stars of ABC network
hit the carpet at Toro restaurant in NYC for the Entertainment Weekly and ABC
Upfront VIP party. Tracee Ellis Ross, Omar Epps, Viola Davis, Laurence Fishburne
and Anthony Anderson were among the attendees.
Tracee Ellis Ross looked
fab at the ABC Upfronts VIP party in a bright yellow dress paired with salmon
colored pumps. Tracee joins Anthony Anderson and Laurence Fishburne for a brand
new comedy “Black-ish” (written by The Game’s Kenya Barris) coming to ABC this
fall.
The “Black-ish” actress
gushed on her role posting on Instagram, “Yup we’re #Blackish …this is a dream
and yet it’s reality! @kenyab_in_imax3d #KenyaBarris #LaurenceFishburne
@AnthonyAnderson #LarryWilmore and MEEEEE …thank you
ABC.”
Anthony Anderson is the
lead star in the new ABC drama “Black-ish” where he plays an upper-middle class
black man struggling to raise his kids with a sense of cultural
identity.
And Tracee will play
Anthony’s wife in “Black-ish.”
Writer Kenya Barris
revealed the show is loosely based on his own life dishing, “I decided to do
this project when I looked up and realized that everywhere I go I’m constantly
the fly in buttermilk... I’m usually THE Black guy at work. We’re THE Black
family in the neighborhood. My kids are basically THE Black kids at school. I
think it’s kind of a situation of be careful what you wish for. It’s almost in
like moving on up, I’ve sort of priced myself “out” of being
Black.”
“Resurrection” star Omar
Epps was dapper in a gray suit on the carpet. He’s returning to ABC for his role
“Nashville” star Chaley Rose posed it up in a cute pink dress alongside Anthony
on the carpet.
Shonda Rhimes’ “How To
Get Away With Murder” is coming to ABC this fall, starring Oscar-nominated
actress Viola Davis. Viola looked nice in a monochromatic look on the
carpet.
And she stopped for a pic
with her “How To Get Away With Murder” co-star Matt
McGorry.
Laurence Fishburne will
star in the new comedy “Black-ish” playing the father to Anthony Anderson’s
character and will also executive produce the
show.
Omar posed with new drama
series “American Crime” stars Elvis Nolasco and Benito
Martinez.
And Viola posed it up in
a group shot with screenwriter/director Shonda Rhimes, Entertainment Weekly
editors Jess Cagle & Matt Bean and Entertainment Weekly’s publisher Melissa
Mattiace.
Fab
times!
Save The Date: Gabrielle
Union & Dwyane Wade Wedding Date Announcement!
It’s finally here, Dwyane
Wade and Gabrielle Union will be making it official in August….Did the break
baby appear in this announcement and who sends out a save the date why not just
send the invites… I know Gabby will look
gorgeous….
According to TMZ
Sports:
The wedding is scheduled
for August 30th — and the Save the Dates just went
out.
Dwyane’s kids even make a
cameo in the heart-shaped reminders, holding up signs that say, “Nickie, will
you marry us?” (Nickie is Gabrielle’s nickname … her middle name is
Monique.)
If all goes well, Dwyane
will get more than one ring this year.
Michael Jackson Estate
Denies New Molestation Claims!
Michael Jackson is back
in the news not for his forthcoming album but for molestation claims from a
young man who starred in the 1987 Pepsi
commercial.
Check out the details
below.
The Estate of Michael
Jackson is responding to the latest molestation claims leveled against the late
King of Pop. Addressing the report from “The Daily Beast,” estate executors say
James Safechuck added his own sealed claim onto a lawsuit filed by choreographer
Wade Robson last year. Jackson Estate attorney Howard Weitzman is calling the
allegations “false and scurrilous.” Weitzman also points out that Safechuck had
himself denied being molested several times in the past, and says he is “now
demanding money from Michael’s Estate by claiming he suddenly recalls life
differently.”
Safechuck, who is now 36,
once starred in a 1987 Pepsi commercial with Jackson. His allegations come just
as the singer’s new posthumous album “Xscape” arrives in
stores.
More money. More
problems. What do you think about these posthumous sex abuse
allegations?
Should the estate be
responsible for these sexual abuse
allegations?
Lil’ Kim asks fans to buy
her gifts off her baby registry…
I don’t know whether to
laugh or cry at this nonsense… Lil Kim celebrated her shower on Saturday with
her close friends, family and the father Mr. papers… But before the party,
rapper Lil’ Kim, asked her fans to buy her baby gifts off a registry that
includes items from luxury stores Tiffany & Co and Bel
Bambini.
‘…please make sure they
check off your gift from the registry after purchase,’ wrote her assistant, who
tweeted the message. ‘Thank u guys so much
#teamlilkim.’
Can’t wait for my NYC
Royal Baby Shower’: Rapper Lil’ Kim was thrilled to finally celebrate the
impending birth of her first child with an extravagant baby shower held at New
York’s Broad Street Ballroom on Saturday
Lil’ Kim – who is
expecting a girl with rapper Mr. Papers – listed a range of items on the
registry, from high-end to the more
budget-friendly.
Items included a $575
sterling silver baby cup from Tiffany & Co (which, according to the
registry, was purchased) and a Snow White bib and booties set, retailing at
$9.99, at Buy Buy Baby.
Most fans responded
positively to her request, but some blasted her for being
‘tacky’.
Shakira: I’m Leaving “The
Voice”
Adding to the singing
competition’s long list of changes, Shakira announced that she is stepping away
from “The Voice.”
After CeeLo Green
revealed he is finished with the NBC series and Christina Aguilera stated Gwen
Stefani is her replacement, the “Hips Don’t Lie” beauty is ready to move on
too.
"This was always a
temporary thing for me to do," Shakira told reporters. "For now, no, I don't
have any plans of coming back."
The mother of son Milan
said that her busy schedule to the reason behind her exit from “The Voice.” She
gave birth to her baby boy last year and just dropped her 10th studio album in
March, so she definitely has a lot on her
plate.
"Honestly, I've had a
blast," Shakira said. "But right now, I have to go on with my life as an artist.
I'm not really a TV celebrity and I have to prep a tour and also do other stuff,
like being a mother."
When asked if she would
consider returning if NBC asked her back, she replied, “You never
know.”
Stevie J Stealing
Furniture Now ?
Things are not looking
good for the Love & Hip Hop cast in Atlanta, first Waka Flocka getting
caught out there, now this .. This last episode of LHHATL you saw Stevie J
putting some Versace dishes away in his new home, calling it the White House and
what not.. Well one of his home girls put him on blast, stating that he stole
her things.
Former Baseball Wives
star Anna Benson, who was arrested for breaking into her ex-husband’s house and
threatening him with a gun, accuses Stevie J of lying about putting her things
in storage while she was in jail after she saw all her stuff on
TV.
Now I’m wondering if
Steebie was the one who boosted Che Mack’s shit and re-gifted it to her
?
IN THE CLUB: Cassie,
Karrueche Tran And Christina Milian PARTYING In LA
Cassie, a more blonde
Karreuche Tran and Christina Milian all partied at club LURE last night in LA.
We noticed that Christina rocked a "visor" while at the party. Did V. Stiviano
REALLY start a new celebrity trend? Lord help us
all...
Earlier in the evening,
the ladies were all spotted arriving together (all wearing white) to celebrate
the birthday of celebrity publicst J. Ryan.
Before the club, the
ladies (and a few fellas) all posed with J. Ryan in one of the VIP rooms at
Katsuya where they had a private dinner.
Fun
times.
