Say What?? Former 3LW Manager Airs Out Adrienne Bailon For…Smashing Kanye?

3LW’s Former Manager Blasts Adrienne Bailon It looks like Adrienne Bailon’s little peace treaty with former groupmate Naturi Naughton didn’t exactly squash all the old 3LW drama the way they anticipated. After Adrienne and Naturi’s segment aired earlier today, other folks involved in 3LW’s tangled-up past chimed in. Case in point, the management that Adrienne and Naturi briefly brought up during their discussion on The Real’s couch. During their chat, the ladies mentioned that they were both kids at the time, and the adults in the situation had filled them with fear (fast forward to the 1:30 mark). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejcriwbmDNA Well, their former manager, Tse Williams had some thoughts on being dragged into this come to Jesus moment between two young ladies who she felt dug their own industry graves:: https://twitter.com/TseWilliams/status/867797878294552576 https://twitter.com/TseWilliams/status/867800189209382913 https://twitter.com/TseWilliams/status/867803937021100032 https://twitter.com/TseWilliams/status/867804824087277568 …and then she went HAM on Adrienne, accusing her of being all sorts of shady and loose, and her antics with nude photos and married men ultimately getting the Cheetah Girls canceled and killing her relationship with Rob Kardashian. Hit the flip… Splash/WENN/Twitter https://twitter.com/TseWilliams/status/867855425680617474 https://twitter.com/TseWilliams/status/867855737346813952 https://twitter.com/TseWilliams/status/867856264969277440 https://twitter.com/TseWilliams/status/867856552547545088 https://twitter.com/TseWilliams/status/867861025504333826 https://twitter.com/TseWilliams/status/867861176880857088 https://twitter.com/TseWilliams/status/867886987621138432

Thanks, Dad: Did Ol’ Mathew Knowles Just Reveal The Sex Of Beyoncé’s Blueprint 1 And 2 Babies?

Mathew Knowles Suggests That Beyoncé Is Having Fraternal Twins Beyoncé does everything with purpose and timing . She keeps much of her life very close to the vest and as we’ve learned, she loves to release information via subtle hints on Instagram. That said, it looks like daddy Matty Knowles might have spilled Bey’s beans when he released a congratulatory public statement about his daughter’s bundles of joy. Since the day Mrs. Carter announced her new knocked up status fans have been wondering what kind of twins she would be having. Boys? Girls? Both? Well, according to MirrorUK, Mathew Knowles might have just let us all know: And talking about the happy news, Beyonce’s dad and former manager shared: “I’m extremely proud and happy, both with Jay and her. “And Blue Ivy is going to have some brothers and sisters. She is already excited.” He tried to walk it back some, but the look on his face said “Oh s#!t, I wasn’t supposed to say that”. He should’ve taken the Kelly Rowland approach and faked laryngitis. Dah, well. Too late now. SMH. Image via WENN

Race Matters: Black Employees Claim Popular Retail Store Wet Seal Looked For Workers With “Blond Hair And Blue Eyes”

It’s just affirmative action for Scandanavians Three former managers at Wet Seal, a nationwide apparel retailer for young women, filed a federal race discrimination lawsuit on Thursday, asserting that the company had a high-level policy of firing and denying pay increases and promotions to African-American employees because they did not fit its “brand image.” The lawsuit, filed in Federal District Court in Santa Ana, Calif., includes a copy of a March 2009 e-mail sent by the company’s then senior vice president for store operations to lower-level managers after she had inspected several stores. The email said, “African American dominate — huge issue.” One plaintiff, Nicole Cogdell, the African-American former manager of a Wet Seal store in King of Prussia, Pa., said the company terminated her the day after that e-mail was sent. She said that she had heard the senior vice president, Barbara Bachman, tell a district manager that she wanted someone with “blond hair and blue eyes.” The lawsuit seeks back pay, and general and punitive damages. It also seeks class-action status on behalf of more than 250 current and former black managers at Wet Seal, which has more than 550 Wet Seal and Arden B stores across the nation and is based in Foothill Ranch, Calif. Another plaintiff, Kai Hawkins, the African-American former manager of a store in Cherry Hill, N.J., said her district manager had told her to hire more white employees or face termination. In the lawsuit, Ms. Hawkins said that she had been offended by Ms. Bachman’s e-mail and that she saw many black employees being “terminated despite doing a good job and without any explanation.” In a statement issued Thursday, Wet Seal said: “Wet Seal is an equal opportunity employer with a very diverse work force and customer base. We deny any and all allegations of race discrimination and will vigorously defend this matter.” There is nothing wrong with wanting your company to increase in diversity whether you have a certain minority group or white people making up a dominant portion of your company’s staff. However, if the allegations are true, that does mean you go and fire people who are doing their job well so you can hire someone else with a different skin color. Do you think Wet Seal and companies like it, discriminate to fit a certain type of image? Source

How Beyonce Felt About Kelly Rowland Sharing Her Secret [VIDEO]

After Kelly Rowland accidentally revealed that Beyonce and Jay-Z are having a baby girl, it would be understandable for Beyonce to be upset with her friend. Katie Couric asked Bey what she thought about Kelly’s loose lips during their interview on ABC’s “20/20,” and Beyonce didn’t seem upset about it at all. Beyonce playfully responded to Katie’s question by asking, “Did she?” And then placed her finger by her bottom lip and said, “Hmmm?” Beyonce also discussed directing her new concert DVD, pregnancy cravings, fake baby bump reaction from her family, parting ways with her father and former manager Mathew Knowles.

Ricky Gervais To Drop By The Office

After seven seasons worth of speculation, The Office creator Ricky Gervais will reprise his role as David Brent, the clueless former manager of the U.K. series, on the U.S. adaptation next week. The showdown will take place on the January 27 episode, “The Seminar” and be very brief. Office show-runner Paul Lieberstein warns Vulture , that “if you don’t set your TiVo right, you’ll miss it.” Which means that maybe the encounter takes place in the episode tag? Either way, look out for Gervais’ first attempt to regain some of the statewide popularity he squandered last Sunday. [ TVline ]

Dermot Weld finally wins Ascot’s Gold Cup with Rite Of Passage

• Irish trainer had gone close with Vinnie Roe and Vintage Crop • Winner may run in Melbourne Cup before return to hurdles But for the sunshine, it could have been a scene from Cheltenham in the closing stages of the Gold Cup here today. Courage and stamina were all that mattered in the last of the 20 furlongs and it was Rite Of Passage, placed in a hurdle race at the jump racing Festival back in March, who had the grit to beat Age Of Aquarius by a neck. So much of the summer programme is focused on speed, casting horses as dragsters to burn their way to success but, on this day at Ascot, they are more like monster trucks. Quick they are not. The spectacle comes from the sheer power they expend to reach top speed and then stay there, from one punishing furlong to the next, and this Gold Cup was a copybook example. Age Of Aquarius had been a jumpy, sweaty mess in the paddock and drifted out to 8-1, having been second-favourite in the morning, as Manifest and Ask vied for the right to start favourite. Ask won that battle, going off at 11-4, but both he and Manifest – who moved towards the lead like a good horse four furlongs out but ran out of stamina soon afterwards – were beaten two furlongs out as Age Of Aquarius struck for home. For a moment, it seemed that Johnny Murtagh, successful in the last two Gold Cups on Yeats, had made a decisive move. Like a tanker finally reaching fourth gear, though, Rite Of Passage started to eat into his lead under Pat Smullen and for the next quarter of a mile there was no more than a neck between them. Age Of Aquarius did not weaken but Rite Of Passage, a 20-1 chance, had enough strength in his gallop to carry him into a narrow lead just past the furlong pole. Murtagh asked every question of his partner – picking up a three-day suspension as a result – but he could not claw back the deficit. Purple Moon was six lengths further away in third, while Ask was only fifth and Manifest finished tailed off. “It’s a special day and a race I’ve always wanted to win,” Dermot Weld, Rite Of Passage’s trainer, said. “I love training stayers. I’ve been blessed with many good sprinters, but training horses over a number of years is my joy, keeping them sound and keeping them right. “I was beaten a neck with Vinnie Roe and less than a length with Vintage Crop [in previous Gold Cups]. There were no excuses, we just got beaten by better horses on the day, and Lester Piggott said to me many years ago that there’s a big difference between horses that go two miles and horses that go two and a half. “That’s one of the reasons I ran this horse, because I realised we might not have the speed of a lot of horses in this race, but what Lester said is so true, there’s a huge difference.” Rite Of Passage has now won all three of his starts on the Flat and was, with hindsight, the good thing of the decade when 7-1 for a handicap at Leopardstown in November. He may have had another two stones to carry that day if the handicapper had known he was a Gold Cup winner waiting to happen. Having finished third in the Neptune Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, he is also likely to go back over jumps in time, but Weld has grand plans on the Flat before that. “In time, he’ll obviously go back over hurdles,” he said, “but today was my first Flat target for him and the Melbourne Cup is my second Flat target for him, so we’ll see. I also have Profound Beauty as a possible runner in that race, but it looks like an obvious target for him.” Rite Of Passage is a top price of 20-1 for the Champion Hurdle next March.The ground at Ascot this week has been unusually fast and Rite Of Passage’s winning time was the latest to go into the books as a new track record, albeit only since the course was relaid before the 2006 meeting. “It was a really, really top-class race,” Murtagh said afterwards. “They went a hell of a gallop and my lad stayed well. He loved the ground and I thought I had it won turning for home, but just got caught in the last 60 yards, He’s a very brave horse and I’m sick.” Age Of Aquarius was the first horse from Aidan O’Brien’s yard to acquit itself with real credit this week and the stable did not even field a runner at the meeting on Wednesday. They have some leading chances tomorrow, but are playing catch-up with the Godolphin operation, who saddled their second winner of the meeting when Hibaayeb strode away with the Ribblesdale Stakes. Hibaayeb took the Fillies’ Mile here last autumn, but finished second-last in the 1,000 Guineas last month before running third in a Group One in France. This win appeared to take her form to a new level, for all that the opposition was relatively weak for a Group Two. She may now travel to The Curragh for the Irish Oaks next month. Frankie Dettori, her jockey, is now level with Richard Hughes and Ryan Moore on two winners at the meeting, with 12 races still to be run. Horse racing Royal Ascot Greg Wood guardian.co.uk
