The Daily Buzz For July 8



Solange Breaks Her Silence ” What’s Important Is That My Family and I Are All Good”
Solange is breaking her silence on the infamous incident between her and brother-in-law Jay Z, in a recent interview with Lucky Magazine she blandly talks about what happened.
Solange states:
“What’s important is that my family and I are all good,” said Solange, who got dolled up in ’60s chic for the mag’s August issue. “What we had to say collectively was in the statement that we put out, and we all feel at peace with that.”

Here is the very on the surface statement  from the family, showing a united front if she says so.. 
Here are more of the highlights from the fab cover story (she's got new music on the way) and more pics below:

On the elevator incident
She calls the incident “that thing.” “What’s important is that my family and I are all good,” she says. “What we had to say collectively was in the statement that we put out, and we all feel at peace with that."

On fashion:
'When I look back at old pictures, my dad was always smartly dressed, my mom had the most elegant, beautiful style, and my sister was very into the ’90s Cross Colours look, and I…’ says Solange..."I just had all of these different things inside me… It’s interesting how the past comes back full circle and then it becomes more refined."

On Music:
"The music is changing… My last EP, True, was about the overall vibe—the message was fun. This one, I really want you to hear what I’m saying. I want you to hear me.’"

On father Mathew Knowles curbing her unconventional fashion choices as a kid
“He worked a super-corporate job,” she remembers. “And naturally he just wanted us to look nice, and six-year-old me came out in a tutu and tap shoes. He said, ‘No. Not this time.’ It was the first situation where he really gave me a look and sent me to my room. He was upset. It was a big deal.” She smiles at the memory. “When I look back at old pictures, my dad was always smartly dressed, my mom had the most elegant, beautiful style, and my sister was very into the ’90s Cross Colours look, and I …” she pauses. “I just had all of these different things inside me.”

On how living in laid-back New Orleans affects her fashion game
“I lived in New York and L.A. and they were different worlds I learned to navigate. Fashion and music have so many elements I’m connected to, but they also have parts that I’m not so interested in. I can step in and step out of those worlds. Being in New Orleans gives me space.”

On being a fashion rebel since childhood
“I had issues with dressing weather-appropriate,” she remembers. “In Houston, it’s pretty much always hot. But I was mad I didn’t get to have seasonal outfits so I’d wear sweaters and tights anyway.”

On classical ballet training and switching to hip hop for Destiny's Child
"I had no idea how to dance hip-hop at the time," she says. "I was trained in classical ballet! But it sounded chill and I was going to make a little weekly check and be with my whole family, so I said okay.
"I loved traveling,” she continues. "We were in Europe for a month, and that’s when my musical eyes opened up. There, Björk was on pop radio. She wasn’t some obscure underground thing like she was in America.” Knowles spent the next two years as part of the Destiny’s Child machine until an injury forced her to take a year off from dancing. “Dance had been my everything since I was a little girl and all of a sudden I couldn’t do it,” she says, her voice going quieter. “Some beautiful things came out of that year but also some painful things. I started writing songs because I had all of these emotions that were so real."

On showing her first written songs to Kelly Rowland before her deal at Columbia
Kelly’s like a sister. When I let her hear my music, she said, ‘I want you to write for my album.’ That gave me a lot of confidence.” Telling Mathew and Tina was a little harder. “I was nervous to talk to my parents. Part of my mom was like, ‘Please be normal and get a regular job,’ because she had gone through so much with my sister. She knew how strong-willed I was and how the industry was probably not going to be the most supportive thing for a 15-year-old girl.”

On her failed Solo Star debut album
“I was serious about my songwriting but not necessarily too gung ho on all the other elements of being an artist—the public nature of things, the lack of privacy, the feeling of always needing to be on. I also felt really misunderstood by my peers and the musical landscape that I was in,” she says. So she stepped out of it.
Nevertheless she looks cute on the cover…..



Sherri Shepherd FINALLY Addresses Leaving “The View” On-Air, Claims The BIBLE & Respect For Barbara Walters Are The Reasons...
After the semi-shocking news of Sherri Shepherd’s departure from the hit ABC talk show “The View,” we were left wondering the real reason behind her sudden up-root.

Up until then, she (and the rest of her co-hosts) have remained mum on the issue.  The shows last week were pre-taped, but Sherri didn't speak out via social media either.
But, Sherri finally spoke her piece on why she’s leaving.

At the beginning of yesterday’s segment, Sherri told viewers:

"I didn't want to do anything to distract from Barbara Walters and our celebration of her retirement in May," she said. "You guys know that I often talk about my faith. I'm a woman of faith and seven in the Bible is the number of God's completion. And I've been here seven years, and my time at The View is complete."

Umm…ok. She added she had some “exciting news” to share as well and will do so at a later time on the show.
Co-host Jenny McCarthy also spoke about her departure. During the broadcast she said, “After much consideration, I’ve taken a new job that will allow me to do what I do best, which is talk without having to interrupt anyone.”
Well...We hear the real reason Sherri is leaving is due to her not getting as high of a raise as she wanted....but that's none of our business. Check out video of Jenny & Sherri's announcement:

Wonder who they are FINALLY going to choose to fill those seats.  Ross Matthews, Mario Cantone, and Rose O'Donnell are reportedly on the short list...

Lady Gaga Goes Wedding Dress Shopping In Toronto
Helping to pass the time while in Canada, Lady Gaga showed up at a bridal shop in Toronto with her mother
The “Edge of Glory” songstress had a blast with her mom Cynthia as she and her new puppy Asia browsed the racks and attracted plenty of attention.
Perhaps Gaga is getting ready to tie the knot, as she and actor Taylor Kinney have been going hot and heavy for over two years.
However, she’ll have to carve out some time for the affair, as Mother Monster seems to be perpetually on tour or in the studio.



The Swindle: Joseline Hernandez & Stevie J Break Up To Make Up
Joseline Hernandez and Stevie J might just be a match made in struggle heaven. These two love a good publicity stunt, so why not turn it up a few notches over the 4th of July holiday?
Last week, Stevie J went to TMZ to blast Hernandez for cheating with 30 different dudes. She responded with a series of “TMI” sex tweets, that included Kevin Durant, Rick Ross, Drake, Nelly, and a driver at the White House on her faux smash tally. Hernandez, or whoever had control of her account for the day, also  shared a tidbit about AIDS, and accidentally tweeted her own phone number which everyone assumed belonged to KeKe Palmer.
She now claims the whole thing was the work of a“hacker.”
With a new episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta that premiered last night the doting couple’s fake break up war was pretty genius, even though it didn’t last long.  By this morning, The Baddest P*ta pulled the rabbit out of the hat and then Instagrammed a video praising her beauty and showing off a two-toned weave/wig contraption. Oh, and Stevie was there too.
It’s pretty hard out there for reality stars with expiration dates, we gotta give these two and ‘A’ for effort.

Dwyane Wade Spends Six Hour In Court With Ex-Wife After an Emergency Hearing Was Called!
Dwyane Wade is truly a pathetic man, Dwyane and Sio was in a Miami courtroom for nearly six hours discussing how to split time between their two sons..
According to Gossip Extra:
Thursday’s emergency hearing, which was supposed to last for about an hour, was called after the ex claimed he missed his mandatory June 22 drop off of the kids.

Wade, 32, testified for about an hour as ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches’ attorney, Lisa Macci, made him look far from his image as perfect hands-on father. Wade, who has primary custody, didn’t seem to know when the boys’ school shut down for the summer. And his excuse for not dropping off the kids was that “he didn’t have anybody to do it.”
In the end, Judge George Sarduy ordered Wade to surrender the children immediately, and told the two to stick to their two-week rotation.

Funches then filed a 206-page motion to regain her status as primary residential parent.

Karma has his name written all over everything, his time is about up!



Common ADMITS Drake "Beef" Was Over Ex-Girlfriend Serena Williams
Remember that beef between Common and Drake a few years ago? Well…Common is finally admitting that it was over his ex-girlfriend Serena Williams. 
Common is known for having a pretty laid back demeanor. So when news surfaced that he had “beef” with Drake, a few eyebrows were raised. Back in 2012, Common dissed Drake twice! Once on a track titled “Sweet” and the second time on Rick Ross’ “Stay Schemin’ (Remix).”

In a following interview with MTV, Common dished on Drake taking offense to his track “Sweet” saying, “He opened his mouth and said some things, so if that’s what he want—all that subliminal [talk]…you could do that too, but say it now."

Shortly after the release of "Sweet," Drizzy responded to Common on the original Rick Ross track "Stay Schemin." Then, Common clapped back on the remix.

NOW…The Chi-town rapper is opening up about what initially started their war on wax. And it's over his ex-girlfriend, tennis champ Serena Williams! During an interview with VLAD TV, the “Kingdom” rapper revealed he felt disrespected by Drake and that’s why he came for him. He said,

“I think it was an emotional thing. I was feeling like…the Drake, Serena situation. I didn’t know what was going on with that. And I didn’t know if he was throwing things, shots at me. Like you know, this my ex. We have gone our separate ways. So unfortunately the war might have been over a girl even though at the time I never said that. It was more or less…like do you respect me? Cause I actually like you as an artist.”

Common said he was glad their "beef” didn’t escalate to anything physical and that he’s a very talented artist who has something to contribute to Hip Hop. He said they chopped it up face-to-face and it ended on a good note. Good for them.

Common is dropping a new album titled Nobody’s Smiling on July 22nd.

Nas rocked the stage at the Paris Hip Hop 2014 show last night.  And former NBA baller Grant Hill, wife Tamia and Cedric the Entertainer and more were there in the fabulous city to take on the show.

Cute cuple Grant & Tamia Hill (How FAB does Tamia STILL look?!) rolled to the Paris Hip Hop Show last night at Zenith Paris - La Villette.  And they ended up backstage with Mr. Nasir himself, headline for the night of the show that also hosted performer M.I.A.
Cedric the Entertainer was also there to bring some laughs to the crew.  And rapper Shyne is still not back in the U.S. yet...but surely seems to be having a good ol time everywhere else.
The crew kicked it backstage before Nas went on to perform his entire Illmatc album:



Air Jordan 6 “Black Infrared” [Photos]
Make way for another classic. Jordan Brand confirmed the return of the Air Jordan 6 “Black Infrared” following months of rumors, and today, we receive the first detailed look at the shoe.
Sneaker fiends will salivate at the sight of the legendary silhouette, as it features a reflective underlayer that shows through perforated panels — a detail found on the 1991 original that’s been omitted from past retros. Jordan Brand announced their plan to make products of better quality in 2015, but it appears that we’ll see phases of this a little sooner.
Set to hit retailers on Black Friday (November 28), it’s best to get your pences in order sooner than later. The Air Jordan 6 “Black Infrared” will sell for $185



AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
‘(NOT SO) SMARTSTYLE’
I understand your issue bro, and I commend you for being brave. Many of us can’t decide between the classic mullet and the always baller flat top. You, my friend, are on of the few brave enough to try both. You failed miserably by the way, but be proud you took your shot at glory.



HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!
