OUCH! The Bey Hive STINGS on Rita Ora
Last night a picture of Roc Nation artist Rita Ora getting a little too close to Jay Z turned up online igniting a fire in the BeyHive...
After a picture of Rita Ora hugging Jay Z sudectively from the back at a Met Gala after party turned up Instagram The BeyHive turned Rita's instagram comments into a war zone.
So far Rita has not responded
SERIOUSLY was this necessary? If they supported their queen and her drone, Jayz wouldn't be begging for subscribers and she wouldn't be getting damn near naked for attention. I'm sure she's grateful your fighting her battles, but they would rather have your money..... The workings of the net!
Look who came to see Ciara in the DMV? Russell Wilson then they party the night away!
Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson is definitely courting Ciara. After inviting her as his date to the White House State dinner last month and sending her well wishes via Twitter (he normally doesn't tweet that much), he is now popping up at her concert performances.
Saturday, the Super Bowl champ treated his little sister Anna Wilson (below) to Ciara’s JACKIE show at The Filmore in Silver Spring, MD.
Afterwards....The superstar QB and the R&B songstress linked up to party it up at Josephine’s for her after party. Since going public with their relationship, it's safe to say these two are really enjoying one another's company. And we like seeing them together...
The hot couple snapped pics all night, so they're not hiding a thing it seems:
And they weren't all about their selfies. The twosome stopped to snap a few flicks with fans during the night.
How sweet!
Thousands turn out for Prince's 'Rally 4 Peace' benefit concert
Prince “Rally 4 Peace” benefit concert is the artist's first time playing in Baltimore in 14 years
Devoted fans like Luther Washington said Prince's "Rally 4 Peace" concert Sunday was just what Baltimore needed to heal after massive protests shook the city in recent weeks.
Outside Royal Farms Arena, Washington was part of a celebratory crowd of thousands who waited peacefully for the doors to open.
Washington and his wife, Beate — who paid about $200 apiece for floor seats to the show — felt the expensive tickets were worth the price to see the mercurial and unpredictable artist, who pledged a portion of the proceeds would go to Baltimore-based youth charities.
"This city could use a little joy, a little healing; Prince will do that," said Washington, a 44-year-old broadcaster from Odenton. "Music is medicine. People want to reflect a little bit. His message has always been in his lyrics, if you just look deep enough."
Many adhered to the Purple One's request to wear gray "as a symbolic message of our shared humanity and love for one another." But plenty in the audience wore colorful outfits that reflected the full swing of spring — a red strapless dress, T-shirts and cargo shorts, and an L.A. Dodgers jersey.
Nikki Harris, a 36-year-old mother of three boys from Baltimore's Northwood neighborhood, said she spent three days crocheting an image of Prince in purple and white yarn on the back of her camouflage jacket. Harris said she participated in a peaceful protest about a week ago as a way to force the city to become a better place to raise her sons.
"I didn't know it was a rally for peace," she said. "When I found out, it only made me happier to come."
The audience spanned a wide range of ages and backgrounds, much like Prince's fanbase. Many were surprised to see Baltimore's State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby invited on stage shortly after Prince began to perform around 9 p.m. A spokeswoman for Mosby — an avid Prince fan — said late Sunday the tickets were a Mother's Day gift from her husband, Councilman Nick Mosby.
Earlier this month, some applauded Mosby as she announced charges for all six officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray. Prosecutors say he died after sustaining a spinal cord injury while in police custody. Mosby has faced criticism about rushing to her decision to charge the officers. Others have accused her of having a conflict of interest. She denies those claims.
Lifelong friends, Catherine Tipton, of Ashburn, Va., and Amy Fanning, of Washington, D.C., said they first bonded over Prince 30 years ago, and they've seen others unite around his music.
"His genre of music is so diverse, and so, too, are his fans," Tipton, 46, said.
Added Fanning, 46, "That's why we weren't nervous to come, because we knew everyone was coming for good reasons."
The concert — announced on short notice last week — followed a tumultuous time in Baltimore in the weeks since Gray's death. The demand for answers in Gray's death sparked unrest that led to about 150 vehicles being set on fire and 15 buildings burned on a single night in late April.
Prince — whose performance was the first time he's played in Baltimore in 14 years — surprised many when he announced the concert and released a song, titled "Baltimore," an upbeat toe-tapping ode to ending police brutality.
He played the song shortly after taking the stage, and invited Mosby to join him, where she waved to the crowd but didn't offer remarks.
The song opens with a cheery "Baltimore" before moving onto heavier lyrics: "Nobody got in nobody's way, so I guess you could say it was a good day, at least a little better than the day in Baltimore. Does anybody hear us pray, for Michael Brown or Freddie Gray? Peace is more than the absence of a war." Portions — such as, "If there aren't no justice than there ain't no peace" — recall the chants heard around the city during the weeks-long peaceful protests.
Prince had previously said he wanted the concert to be a "catalyst for pause and reflection following the outpouring of violence that has gripped Baltimore and areas throughout the U.S."
He made brief remarks from the stage, telling the crowd: "The system is broken. It's going to take the young people to fix it this time. We need new ideas, new life. ... The next time I come to Baltimore I want to stay in a hotel owned by you."
As promised, the concert featured special musical guests with rapper Doug E. Fresh and R&B singers Estelle and Miguel joining Prince on stage. Prince delivered many fan favorites with hits, including "When Doves Cry" and "Little Red Corvette."
It's unclear what portion of the tickets — which cost between $22 and $497 before fees — will be donated or to which charities the funds will go.
The first hour of the show was offered for free online on Tidal, the music streaming service backed by entertainment mogul Jay-Z. Tidal committed to match money donated through its website to the "Baltimore Justice Fund." That fund, created by the Open Society Institute-Baltimore, says its mission is to improve police accountability and increase racial justice.
LISTEN: Prince Releases New Song About Baltimore, Freddie Gray
The track, simply titled "Baltimore," features upbeat, Prince-funky instrumentals combined with direct lyrics that deal unflinchingly with recent current events. A sample: "Does anybody hear us pray for Michael Brown and Freddie Gray?"

The release of "Baltimore" came a day ahead of the legendary artist's performance at Sunday night Rally 4 Peace benefit concert in Baltimore, which streamed on Tidal, Jay-Z's new streaming music service.

MC Lyte Joins Dillard University Board of Trustees
One can typically expect good weather and plenty of graduations come the month of May. MC Lyte got to partake in both yesterday afternoon as her first act as a member on the Dillard University Board of Trustees in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The Hip-Hop legend’s new role will have her working alongside Dillard University Walter M. Kimbrough and will be using her Hip-Hop Sisters foundation to promote the new #EducateOurMen initiative.
“More than just a necessity, given the percentages of men to women at Dillard, immediately we just thought how can we raise the awareness of the education to be had at an HBCU [which] is like none other,” Lyte tells Black Enterprise.
“For me, there is no other school to do it with but, Dillard,” said Lyte, “Education gives one opportunity, gives an outlook and allows someone to dream of something better– of making their circumstances better, of providing for their families and providing for their children.”
Her first act underneath her new appointment was to oversee the graduating class of 2015 and they were equally gifted with a commencement speech from the iconic actor Denzel Washington, who also received an honorary degree during the ceremony.
Speaking of legends, the L-Y-T-E recently dropped her eight studio album titled just that, which can be heard via her app on Android or iPhone.
Vivica is OUT and Shar Jackson is IN She Joins Hollywood Divas!
Earlier this week Vivica Fox shot down rumors she would be appearing on the TV One reality show Hollywood Divas
Looks like the new diva is Moesha's Shar Jackson...
According to Always A List Shar Jackson joined the cast and was already spotted filming with the other divas on Tom Joyner's Fantastic Voyage.
Shar made a few cameos on Hollywood Divas last season with her former Moesha co-star Countess Vaughn and is notoriously known for being dumped and left with two children by Kevin Federline after he had an affair with and married Britney Spears.
The Chris Brown NAKED INTRUDER is being charged with 3 FELONIES!
Remember last week when 21-year-old Amira Kodcia Ayeb decided to break into Chris Brown’s Agoura Hills, CA home and totally trash the place. She spray painted “Mrs. Brown” on his luxury rides & “I Love You” on his kitchen counter, she had "crazy" voodoo type items scattered all around his room and she threw out his daughter Royalty’s clothes.
She also stripped down naked and was found (by Chris & his team) laying in Breezy’s bed! Crazy! She allegedly broke into his home on May 2nd and Breezy discovered her yesterday.
Now, the aspiring singer and University of Houston student (originally from Tunisia) is set to appear before a judge where she will be charged with three felonies, including stalking, vandalism and burglary. And it appears she’s competent enough to stand trial.
According to TMZ, the D.A.'s Office does not see her mental health as an issue in the case, so she will likely stand trial in a court of law for her offenses. And it appears it’s going to cost a pretty penny for her to be freed from jail on bond. Prosecutors are said to be asking for her bail to be set at $220,000. Yikes, I just don’t know what else to say….But applause
LOL!

2 Mississippi Officers Fatally Shot; 3 Suspects Arrested
Two Mississippi police officers — one a rookie — were shot to death during an evening traffic turned violent, a state law enforcement spokesman said Sunday. Three suspects were in custody, including two who are charged with capital murder.
The deaths of the officers are the first to hit the southern Mississippi city of Hattiesburg in three decades — and come amid a national debate on policing, race and the use of deadly force, following the recent killings of unarmed black men by police in Missouri, South Carolina and elsewhere.
The officers' deaths also follow by a day the funeral of a New York City officer who was shot in the head while stopping a man suspected of carrying a handgun.
Warren Strain, a spokesman for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, told The Associated Press that 29-year-old Marvin Banks and 22-year-old Joanie Calloway were each charged with two counts of capital murder.
Banks was also charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and with grand theft for fleeing in the police cruiser after the shooting, Strain said.
"He absconded with a Hattiesburg police cruiser. He didn't get very far, three or four blocks and then he ditched that vehicle," Strain said.
Banks' 26-year-old brother, Curtis Banks, was charged with two counts of accessory after the fact of capital murder.
Officers arrested the three Hattiesburg residents at different locations overnight following the fatal shooting of the officers Saturday evening, Strain said.
"All three subjects were taken into custody without incident," Strain said, adding they were expected to face initial court appearances Monday. Because authorities said the three were being held at undisclosed jails in the state, they could not be reached for comment. It was not immediately known if they had acquired lawyers.
Strain said the three suspects were traveling in a Hyundai vehicle when it was stopped and that shots were fired by "one individual" from the vehicle.
He declined Sunday morning to say how many shots were fired or who had fired them. He also said any information about the officers' actions or what prompted the stop "would be premature to talk about" only hours into the investigation.
The official said Marvin Banks was found at a hotel in the area after Calloway was arrested at a convenience store. He added that Curtis Banks was taken into custody at a Hattiesburg apartment.
"At this point a weapon has not been recovered. However, warrants have been issued to search several properties in the Hattiesburg area. We are hopeful and believe that the murder weapon will be recovered," Strain added. "At this point, it appears to have been only one weapon."
Strain said both officers died of their wounds at a hospital.
Lt. Jon Traxler, a Hattiesburg Police Department spokesman, identified the officers who died as 34-year-old Benjamin Deen and 25-year-old Liquori Tate. Local reports identified Deen as a past department "Officer of the Year," and Tate was a newcomer to the force who Strain said was a 2014 graduate of the law enforcement academy.
"All I know right now is that there was a traffic stop and someone started shooting at them and both of the officers were struck," Traxler said.
The officers bodies were taken to a medical examiner's office in Jackson with autopsies pending, Strain said.
After the shooting, law enforcement agents swarmed the area. Many emergency vehicles, their lights flashing, could be seen and police initial asked nearby residents to shelter indoors while they sought suspects.
The state's chief law enforcement agency, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, has taken up the investigation, according to Strain.
Earlier, Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree told The Jackson Clarion-Ledger he lamented the deaths.
"The men and women who go out every day to protect us, the men and woman who go out every day to make sure that we're safe, they were turned on (Saturday) night," DuPree said outside Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg, where the officers were taken.
The newspaper reported these are the first Hattiesburg officers to die in the line of duty in 30 years.
Hattiesburg resident Tamika Mills was quoted by The Clarion-Ledger as saying some bystanders came upon the officers on the ground, and that one of the officers asked "... 'Am I dying? I know I'm dying. Just hand me my walkie-talkie,'" Mills told the paper.
She added, according to the account, that seeing the officers down was "shocking and heartbreaking."
