BEYONCEMANIA!!!!! Beyonce BUILDS $7 Million Housing Complex For The Homeless In Houston
If you had any doubt about Beyonce’s philanthropic endeavors, she proves yet again how giving she really is. Bey dropped $7 million on a housing complex in her hometown to put a roof over homeless men and women heads.
Beyonce is really on her philanthropic ish. You may not know this, but the hot Houston native dropped a cool $7 million on a housing complex in her hometown for homeless men and women to have a place to stay.
During an interview with KHOU (spotted on B. Scott), Bey’s pastor Rev. Rudy Rasmus (who presided over the Carters nuptials in 2008) opened up about the superstar’s generosity to her church. He said,
“She’s an incredible human being. Has an incredible heart and has been extremely helpful in our mission and our ministry here.”
He also revealed Beyonce has donated millions of dollars to the church and that she embodies the true spirit of love.
“She has a global platform and is doing some amazing work and I’m glad she’s a friend of mine.”
Bey holds her church very close to her heart since being a part of the congregation since she was a little girl.
“She used to sing right here,” said Rasmus. “I don’t remember the song but I do remember she had long braids, tennis shoes and jeans on. A far cry from what she is today.”
MEANWHILE: The Carters continue to bring the hotness. In new pics released by a Beyoncé fan site, the twosome are keeping it more glamorous than ever while on the run.
After being named one of the 50 most powerful women in New York, Beyoncé showed up in a sexy new set of pics from the On The Run shoot:
Bey donned a shimmery, sheer back gown while Jay looked dapper in his tux as they trekked it through the desert together. And Bey posted more pics from her personal stash:
Aww!

Joseline Hernandez CONFIRMS Split With Stevie J
Looks like there’s trouble in paradise. And it was all good just a week ago…literally. "LAHH ATL" stars Joseline Hernandez and Stevie J seemed to have called it quits. Previous reports stated Stevie ran to media to tell them they broke up. And Joseline apparently confirmed their split recently, on stage at Supperclub.
In a video sent to Baller Alert Joseline said, “And to answer your question n*gga, NO I ain’t got on no muthaf*ckin wedding ring since you wanna be all up in muthaf*ckin business.”
Hmph. And before her announcement, it seems as if someone hacked Joseline’s Twitter account. Stevie J perhaps? You be the judge after you peep the tweets:
Guess the Rick Ross DM exchange would explain the rumors that she was pregnant by Rick Ross. Yea, we weren't believing that ish either.
Since then, Joseline has created a new Instagram page, and confirmed her page was indeed hacked. She said,
Sighs...
Angie Martinez Salary Doubled After Move To Power 105.1
In just about any business, money talks. Such is the case with Angie Martinez, who allegedly was blessed with a doubled salary after leaving Hot 97 for arch rival Power 105.1.
Reports Page Six:
Music insiders are buzzing that when popular disc jockey Angie Martinez jumped ship to Power 105. 1 two weeks ago, after 15 years at Hot 97, she doubled her pay.
Sources tell Page Six that Clear Channel, which owns Power 105.1, offered Martinez a figure in the “high six figures.” Martinez, who was a co-host of Hot 97’s “Afternoon Drive” broadcast with DJ Enuff, will be hosting two four-hour shows in New York and Miami (Martinez’s rep had no comment).
High six figures? Considering her track record and influence, Martinez should have taken nothing less.
The-Dream Puts A Ring On...His NEW Chick?!
Well, this is interesting. Hopefully this third marriage will work out for him. The-Dream posted the above pic of his woman rocking a ring with a wedding band while in a fancy car saying:
THE MRS. I LOVE YOU with my Whole Entire Heart and Spirit, God has blessed me in a Time where any man would feel overcome! God has restored my Heart!
Oh?
The-Dream also posted pics of his hat and shoes saying, "Grand Day Ahead!"
Supposedly, the wedding went down at San Francisco's City Hall. She's wearing a white lace & silver sequined dress in the pic, and The-Dream clearly was tux ready with his hat and shoes.
We can only imagine what his former wives, Nivea and Christina Milian, think about all of this.
If this wedding was the real thing (and not a video shoot or something else), Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs.
Sherri Shepherd DOESN’T EVEN want her Surrogate Baby?
Back in May former The View co-host Sherri Shepherd's husband Lamar Sally filed for divorce and for full custody of the couple's unborn child gestating via surrogate and due July 28 Looks like Lamar can have the baby because sources claim Sherri wants nothing to do with it…
According to reports after an unsuccessful round of in vitro fertilization Sherri and Lamar decided to go with a surrogate.
Here's the rub: Sources tell TMZ the baby was conceived with Lamar's sperm but NOT Sherri's egg and she believes Lamar was planning to divorce her all along and use the baby to hit her up for child support.
The source claims Sherri does not want custody of the baby or to even be considered a parent, but the problem is she and Lamar signed the contract with the surrogate together.
Raven Symone GETS CANDID On Gay Marriage Tweet & Transitioning From Child Actor On “Just Keke”
Keke Palmer’s new talk show on BET is kicking off with an exclusive during it's premiere week. Raven Symone will appear on today’s show and she’s opening up about her gay marriage tweet and dealing with stereotypes of being a child actor. Find out how Raven is dealing with the public’s opinion of her lifestyle and more inside….
After proudly waving her pride flag on social media, actress Raven Symone is opening up for the first time about the tweet that had everyone asking about her sexuality.
Raven tweeted last August:
During a video chat on Keke Palmer’s new talk show “Just Keke” (which airs today), Raven explained why she tweeted her acceptance of gay marriage after legislation was passed to recognize same-sex marriage and how she remains confident in the person she is today. She also opened up about growing up as a child actor and having to deal with the stereotypes that went along with it.
Here are the highlights:
Keke: Now, you sent out a tweet last August saying, “I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you.” Now it made news because of course everybody had the question of, Is this Raven coming out? Is this her moment? Do you want to talk about that?
Raven: I’ll just say I love my LGBT community and I’m part of them for always.
Keke: Yes! Yes! Now you know I have to say because coming up as a child actor, working in Disney Channel, all that type of stuff, people have an idea of who and what and how you should be. So when you sent that tweet out, were you expecting that kind of feedback? Were you prepared for it?
Raven: Girl, I sent it because people are raising stupid laws. Period….
Keke: Now when you first got out of “That’s So Raven,” I really wanna ask this question from me too, because, like I said being a child actor people always want to group you up and keep you the same way. Especially with “Akeelah and the Bee,” I feel like “Akeelah and the Bee” is my Urkel ya’ll. I ain’t never gonna live that one down girl. So how was it, when you changed your hair up different than people expected, it’s not “That’s So Raven,” it’s not Raven Baxter, it’s Raven Symone. What was that like? What was the feedback like? How did you learn to silence all of that?
Raven: That’s a tricky question missy. How do I say this correctly without making people angry? You have to be confident in who you are no matter what your team, background noise or front-ground noise makes. You have to stay strong as long as you’re not, ya know, being a drug addict or nothing crazy then you gotta listen. But when you’re just trying to color your hair, stay strong. It’s hard because people want to continue the brand, continue the look that they created to, I’m being honest, they want continue that look that made them money for so long but sometimes it doesn’t always coincide with who you are as a person…
Keke: {Crying} Raven, I mean you make me cry because I look up to you for so long and it means to much to me to sit here and speak to you and even get a second of your time. What you have done for me and every single girl in this room, we can never pay you back, I thank you so much….
Aww
Russell Neal Of Hi-Five IN CUSTODY After Wife Is Found DEAD In Their Home
Remember Hi-Five? The hit group from the 90's with "Kissing Game" and "Can't Wait Another Minute"? In shocking news Russell Neal (second on far right in pic above) is currently in custody after the Hi-Five singer told the cops himself that his wife was dead inside their apartment. Interestingly, while being questioned by police, he reportedly revealed he and his wife had an argument....but then he clammed up and demanded a lawyer.
TMZ reports:
Neal apparently told Houston cops he and his wife had gotten into an argument Wednesday ... The singer then reportedly asked for a lawyer and then clammed up.
Neal -- is currently being detained ... no charges have been filed.
Sounds eerily similar to the Michael Jace case. The group's lead member, Tony Thompson, died in 2007 after inhaling freon.
By the way, the group is still out here performing. They have an upcoming End Of Summer Soul Jam September 6th in The Bronx and the Throwback Fest in Ontario, CA August 9th.
AND FINALLY FROM THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART FILES
PEEK-A-POO
Looks at this too tight and too small peek-a-poo loosey goosey?
HAVE A GREAT WEEK AHEAD EVERYBODY!!!
