The legendary musician’s estate has been tallying up his items for the better part of the year and revealed that the artist born Prince Rogers Nelson left behind nearly $3,000,000 in music equipment. The Blast reports : On September 7, the estate filed an inventory of the current assets and property from the time period of February 2017 to January 2018. During that timeframe, Prince pulled in $755,173.41 in royalties, an additional $2.45 million in “other income,” $20,112 in rental income and $277k in tax refunds. They note that in previous inventory filings, they forgot to mention Prince had two additional gold bars — “1 ounce each” — worth a total of $2,502. Prince’s estate has $15,196,500 worth of real estate and $19,612,358.47 in notes and cash. The docs redacted the amounts of stocks and other personal property the singer owned. An appraiser hired by the estate determined that Prince’s musical instruments are worth an estimated $2,858,875 and photographs he had could sell for $40,165. The other personal items he owned could be worth around $900,000. The estate continues to hammer out itemizing all of the late singer’s belongings in what appears to be preparations for a public sale or auction. — Photo: WENN

Beyonce Breaks Down Crying on Stage: Will She Leave Jay Z Before the End of Their Tour?

For the first time in months, there was positive news about the future of Beyonce and Jay Z’s relationship over the weekend. Bey and Jay attended a party thrown by the rapper’s mother, and witnesses say they laughed, shared a bottle of champagne, and seemed to be enjoying each other’s company. It seems today that the Carter’s happiness was short-lived, however, as audience members at their Sunday night concert in L.A. claim that Beyonce broke down in tears while performing “Resentment” – a song about a cheating spouse. Those in attendance say prior to the revenge ballad, Bey appeared to be depressed and distracted: “She looked like she had been crying from the time the concert began,” says one concertgoer. “Her eyes were really glassy and red and it looked like she was just going through the motions on stage.” “When she finally sat down to sing ‘Resentment,’ she looked like she was ready to let it out. She was just wailing it out and really seemed lost in her own world. Not long after that she stopped singing and seemed overcome with emotion. The camera was cut in tight so you could see her eyes welling up.” Of course, this isn’t the first time that Bey has vented her emotions through song. Many believe she hints at divorcing Jay Z in Nicki Minaj’s “Flawless” remix . Prior to that, she altered the lyrics of “Resentment” during a concert in a way that seemed to suggest Jay Z had cheated on her . Beyonce: “Resentment” On the Run tour insiders say that the couple has taken to staying in separate hotel rooms during the last leg of the tour. Celebrity Break-Ups of 2014 1.

The Side Eye: Convicted Statutory Rapist Shane Sparks Says He Believes Michael Jackson Molested Choreographer Wade Robson

Shane , how are you a convicted statutory rapist and you passing judgment on someone found not guilty of a crime? Ho sit down. Shane Sparks Says He Believes Wade Robson According to TMZ Former “America’s Best Dance Crew” judge Shane Sparks — a convicted statutory rapist — has Wade Robson’s back … telling TMZ, he believes Michael Jackson molested the choreographer. TMZ broke the story … Wade has filed a claim with the MJ Estate, alleging the King of Pop molested him for 7 years, from the time he was 7 until he turned 14. Shane tells TMZ, “I’ve been knowing Wade forever. Because of the man he is, I do believe him. I don’t think he would lie about this because this could hurt him … He don’t need the publicity or the money. I think this is something that has been on his mind and he had to get it off.” Shane tells us, a big clue emerged soon after he met Wade, who was not much older than 7 at the time. According to Shane, Wade’s tiny apartment was filled with ridiculously expensive electronics — mixing boards, beat machines, video games, and other “rich kid” toys … all of which were gifts from Michael. Shane says Wade was so tight with MJ, he was allowed to host birthday parties at Neverland Ranch without Michael present — and the only room that was off limits was Michael’s bedroom. Background on Shane, a self-professed MJ fan … back in 2011, he was convicted of having unlawful sex with a minor under 16. It doesn’t help Wade’s case that a convicted statutory rapist comes to his defense. SMH.

A “Lil Positivity”: Oprah Winfrey Says She Is Going To Africa To Become A High School Teacher

Damn, word… Oprah Winfrey is back in the USA after spending time with her “girls” at the school she opened in South Africa, but don’t fear, ladies, Miss O will be returning soon in the role of teacher. “They were all stressed for tests, but doing fine,” Oprah emailed fans — including yours truly — about her students. “No major crisis this trip. I love being with them and talking to them about all things important. When I’m there I’m talking from the time I get up till I go to bed, about EVERYTHING teenage girls are going through. It’s the same all over the world.” Oprah revealed that she would be returning this fall to teach a class called ‘It’s Life 101′ about all the stuff she wished someone had told her about how the world really works. “Should be fun since I love to teach. And they’re like sponges,” Oprah said. “Like 12th graders everywhere, this first class is both anxious and excited about going to college. Most will be the first in their family. So it’s a very big deal for them, and they’re feeling the pressure.” Adding that there is nothing like leaving the USA to get a deeper appreciation of the freedoms we sometimes take for granted. For what it’s worth, this is a pretty good idea that should be in every High School. Kids need to know what exactly the “adult world” is about, especially as they are about to enter college. Source
