Reunion Time? Mathew Knowles Hints At A Destiny’s Child Tour in 2015

Something tells us he’s not the most reliable spokesman on Bey’s plans… Mathew Knowles Hints Toward Destiny’s Child Reunion Tour Beyonce’s daddy is just running his mouth this week. During a sit-down radio interview, he let everyone know he still runs the show as Detiny’s Child’s official manager, and might be throwing Beyonce and crew back up on stages across the world in the near future. But…doesn’t he already have enough extra children (and baby-mamas) to manage? Via MailOnline : As the father of Beyonce Knowles and the manager of Destiny’s Child he’s bound to have the scoop. So fans of the Say My Name hit makers will be excited to hear that Mathew Knowles has hinted at a possible reunion of R&B divas Beyonce, 32, Kelly Rowland, 33 and Michelle Williams, 34. The 63-year-old music executive spoke to the Roula And Ryan Show on Houston radio station 104.1 KRBE and said: ‘Folks don’t know it but I am still the manager of Destiny’s Child. ‘When you see Destiny’s Child on TV and you see them doing songs together slowly, slowly – now they’ve done two, they were recently on TV – I don’t know, it might be another Destiny’s Child album coming.’ Although the group officially disbanded in 2006 and Kelly is currently expecting her first child with husband Tim Witherspoon, in June, Michelle quietly released Say Yes – a song which featured both Kelly and Beyonce. Mathew continued: ‘There might be this tour that makes history, Destiny’s Child featuring Beyoncé, Kelly and Michelle. Can you imagine what that would be like?’ Possibly…but we’re sure he could imagine the dollar signs associated with that much more clearly than he can see the fan experience. Keen to know more but aware Mathew wouldn’t be able to reveal too much, Roula and Ryan asked him to ‘cough twice if that is happening in the next year’, which he did right away. And although there have been rumours that the father and daughter are currently estranged. Mathew maintains they are still as close as ever. He gushed: ‘She’s still just my girl. We talk every Sunday. She’s still the humble, generous person she’s always been.’ Mathew might just be holding on to a bit of wishful thinking with this one. Kelly is damn near crowning and he’s trying to book her on stages??? Besides…if Beyonce wasn’t trying to be bothered with him professionally as a solo artist all those years back, would she really have time for that now — especially considering how far she’s come without him??

NFL Enforces Tougher Domestic Violence Policy – Two Incidents Equals Lifetime Ban

Everybody gets one… NFL Enacts Stricter Policy On Domestic Abuse The NFL has come under fire for its lenient punishment of domestic abusers . Now, the Commissioner is looking to change things. Via DailyMail : The National Football League has enacted stiffer punishments for any personnel who commit domestic violence. In a letter to team owners, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said players, coaches and owners now face a six-game suspension for a first offense and a lifetime ban for a second. Goodell said second-time offenders may petition for reinstatement after a year, but with no guarantees. Harsher penalties could also be levied for offenders with incidents before joining the NFL or ‘violence involving a weapon, choking, repeated striking, or when the act is committed against a pregnant woman or in the presence of a child,’ the letter states. The NFL has been criticized for its inconsistent and often lax penalties for off-field offenses. Ravens running back Ray Rice, for example, had to sit out just two games for hitting his now-wife Janay in an Atlantic City casino. In contrast, Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon had to stay out of the 2014 season and was banned for a full year for testing positive for marijuana. In his letter, the commissioner admitted that he ‘didn’t get it right.’ ‘We allowed our standards to fall below where they should be and lost an important opportunity to emphasize our strong stance on a critical issue and the effective programs we have in place,’ Goodell wrote. ‘My disciplinary decision led the public to question our sincerity, our commitment, and whether we understood the toll that domestic violence inflicts on so many families. I take responsibility both for the decision and for ensuring that our actions in the future properly reflect our values.’ The NFL Players Association said the union was informed of the new policies but didn’t have to approve it, as it’s a change in personal conduct policy, a source told USA Today Sports. Hopefully this will make players think twice about their actions . Do you think the new punishment system is fair or overkill?

Miley Cyrus Writes Letter to Liam Hemsworth, Apologizes for Wild Behavior

According to a new report, there are tears behind the tongue. An insider tells Great Britain’s The Sun that Miley Cyrus – who just announced her Bangerz tour dates – feels terrible about how things ended with Liam Hemsworth and has gone out of her way to tell the actor as much. She actually penned her former fiance a letter. Miley Cyrus Apologizes to Liam Hemsworth “Miley admitted to Liam she has pushed him away and said sorry for acting so mad,” a source tells the newspaper. ”Miley says in her letter she still loves Liam deeply and has asked him to meet up. “It could be for closure or it could be to start again, but she just wants to see him and talk things through.” It’s unclear when this letter was allegedly written, but the photographic evidence is NOT unclear: Cyrus made out with Benji Madden last week. Hard. Just how sorry can she truly be? Hemsworth has also been spotted getting close with Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez , so we can’t imagine a reconciliation is actually in the works. But if Miley simply realized the error of her ways? And felt bad? And took the step to acknowledge a few mistakes and leave things on decent terms with Liam? Hey, that’s a sign of maturity. It’s one we applaud.

Grandpa Writes Harsh Letter to Daughter, Shames Her For Disowning His Gay Grandson

An unnamed grandfather recently penned a letter to his daughter, criticizing her for the homophobia that apparently led her to disown his gay grandson. The letter has since gone viral after FCKH8, the gay rights group that first obtained the note, shared it on Facebook and captioned it simply, “Go Grandpa!” The group says they “were blown away by how this guy stands by his grandson and stands up against his own homophobic daughter. This is real love!” The letter came in response to the “hurtful, narrow-minded and backwards” daughter, who had kicked her son out of the house after learning he was gay. This isn’t the first letter to make the online rounds after someone came out as gay, but is particularly moving coming from a grandpa raised in another era. It certainly flies in the face of the stereotype that people from older generations are less likely to be tolerant and accepting of such family and friends. He’s not pleading with Christine to accept the boy, either. He’s hurt by her actions , which he calls the real “abomination” and “shame” in the family. While we’re on the subject of disowning people, he adds, considering it done – at least until this mom finds her heart, in which case give us a call. Some have, inevitably, questioned whether the letter is real. We’d welcome any insight you can provide on that, if you have any one way or the other. But regardless, the message resonates. Don’t you agree?

People Aint Isht: Family Gets Hate Letter In the Mail Telling Them to Euthanize Their 13-Year-Old Autistic Son

This is so mean. Autistic Boy Gets Hateful Letter According to Mail Online A Canadian family are reeling after a stranger sent them a letter telling them to euthanize their severely autistic son. During the summer, 13-year-old Max Begley spends his mornings with his grandmother Brenda Millson in Newcastle. She says she was shaking after receiving a letter Friday from an anonymous neighbor complaining that the noise Max makes outside is ‘DREADFUL!’ and that it ‘scares the hell out of my normal children!’ Mrs Millson shared the whole letter with CityNewsToronto. Signed off ‘one pissed off mother’ the woman goes on to say that the noises Max makes are not appropriate for the neighborhood. ‘Crying babies, music and even barking dogs are normal sounds in a residential neighborhood! He is not!’ The woman’s deranged letter goes beyond the offensive noise complaint into even more repugnant territory, writing that Max is a ‘hindrance’. ‘Who the hell is going to care for him? No employer will ever hire him, no normal girl is going to marry/love him and you are not going to live forever!’ Then she recommends something truly atrocious. ‘Personally, they should take whatever non mentally challenged body parts he possesses and donate it to science. What the hell else good is he to anyone!’ ‘Do the right thing and move or euthanize him! Either way, we are ALL better off.’ ‘Who says that about a child?’ Max’s mother Karla Begley asked City News. She started to cry as she explained that her secondary progressive multiple sclerosis keeps her from walking and running with her son. Since learning about the letter, neighbors of Max’s grandmother have come out in a public display of support for the boy in an attempt to out the letter’s author. Max’s father is worried that the letter might lead to violence against his son. ‘A person that’s that crazy or demented who would fabricate something like that…it leads me to believe that they’re very dangerous,’ Jim Begley said, ‘and right now I’m scared for my son’s safety. If the writer is identified, Max’s family plans to press charges. They should definitely press charges. Nobody should say that to an autistic 13-year-old child.
