This is totally ridiculous but we’re just gonna roll with it because we find it hilarious. Solange’s mere mention of mary jane in the days before releasing a statement that she’d be canceling European tour dates for the good of her mental and physical health has some folks wondering if she’s got a drug “problem.” Via RadarOnline reports : Solange claims the stress of moving from Los Angeles to Brooklyn caused her to skip out on the dates in nine European cities, but RadarOnline.com has learned that her fondness for kush raised eyebrows in the days before her announcement. Solange gave a shout-out to the stoners in the audience during her performance at the Pitchfork Music Festival on Saturday, July 20, according to multiple eyewitness reports, telling the crowd: “I smell a little bit of h3rb out there. If you have any, now is the perfect time to light it!” Eyewitness @RumanaHussain tweeted, “#Solange urging the kids to smoke h3rb …What is she? The anti-@Beyonce? Ganja fierce?” Solange reportedly made a similar statement at her show in NYC’s Bowery Ballroom in December of last year. Indeed, Solange has made no secret of her marijuana use in the past. In 2008, she released an ode to Mary Jane called Champagne Chronic Nightcap. When asked whether the descriptions of lighting up in the song were true-to-life, she told a reporter, “I am unapologetic. I don’t write about things unless they’re true!” By the next year, she was concerned her drug use was taking a toll on her mind. “I don’t even smoke tweeds that often but I’m finding that I can’t remember things,” she tweeted on Sept. 1, 2009. “Gotta be something else.” In 2010, she admitted to smoking “a joint or two” while recording. And by 2011, she was even less ashamed of her habit, posting on Twitter in October desperately looking for a dealer. “Is tweeds taboo in NYC?” she asked her followers. “Like, why can’t I ever find any?” There is no indication that Solange’s drug use is tied to her mysterious month-long break. She insists she will be focusing on mommy time with her son, Daniel Julez. We can’t believe the hoopla over a little bit of tweeds-smoking!!! Live your life Solo — don’t let them sweat you over the BS. And pass the dutchie pon the left hand side — aight? Continue reading →
It ain’t quite over yet… Kanye West May Still Face Charges For Attack On Paparazzi Via USMagazine Contrary to reports, Kanye West is not yet off the hook for the scuffle he was involved in with a photographer last week. On Thursday, July 25, TMZ reported that the rapper would not be charged with any crime in connection with the July 19 incident; however, the LAPD tells Us Weekly that no decisions have been made on that front. “The investigation is still ongoing and no determination has been made as to whether charges will be filed or not,” the LAPD Robbery and Homicide division tells Us in a statement. Per an earlier report by TMZ, West was involved in an altercation with a photographer at LAX on Friday, July 19. At the time, law enforcement sources told the site that the “Black Skinheads” rapper, 36, committed an attempted robbery when he tried to steal the victim’s camera. Officials confirmed to Us Weekly that an incident had taken place but noted that the investigation was in progress. At this point we’d still be surprised to see ‘Ye catch a charge, that said, he still need to sit his punk a$$ down somewhere. Image via Splash Continue reading →
He didn’t have to kill the poor cat. Man Kills Cat And Leaves It Outside Love Rival’s Home According to Mail Online A man has been accused of beating his girlfriend’s cat to death and dumping its bloody body outside his love rival’s home before leaving a note on the man’s car reading: ‘You’re next.’ Johnen Velez, 19, was arrested after the dead cat was found in a pillow case that had been tied around a railing outside a home in Manchester, Connecticut on October 26 last year. A necropsy found internal injuries in the cat’s abdomen were consistent with blunt force trauma, according to Velez’s arrest warrant. When the man who lives at the home went outside his apartment, he also found the threatening note on his car. Velez and the man had both dated the same woman but she had broken up with him a few weeks before the incident. She wanted to reunite with the other man, the Hartford Courant reported. Local media put out pleas for Velez’s arrest in March after he was identified as the alleged cat killer and he was arrested in April. He pleaded no contest on Wednesday to the charge of cruelty to animals after the sick crime. He denied involvement and said that a woman who had admitted to harming the cat when to police, but they did not take a statement. But prosecutor Anthony Bochicchio said that DNA evidence was found linking Velez to the bag in which the cat was found and his fingerprints were on the threatening note. When his former girlfriend was interviewed by police, she said he had sent a threatening message in the past. Velez, who is from Hartford, also pleaded guilty to third-degree assault from an unrelated case and was sentenced to five years in prison with four years of parole. The assault charge stems from a fight Velez was in on a bus on Aug. 13, 2012. He was on probation at the time. Ladies watch who you lay down with. There are some real psychos out here. Shutterstock
Dear Bossip , I have enjoyed your column on Bossip, and I love the fact that you give it straight, no chaser. I have a question though. I have been with the same man, “Rod,” for 12-years off and on. We have a 2-year old daughter together. During, and, after my pregnancy, Rod cheated on me often. A couple of times I busted him. Each time I caught Rod, I got the same ole’ song and dance, ‘He was, oh, so sorry, and it would never happen again.’ To make a very long story short, Rod went to jail a couple months ago. I have never cheated on him during our relationship, but I have been seeing another man for the last couple of months. I have not told Rod that I am seeing anyone, and I am wondering if I should tell him. This is the kicker, though, Rod is from Jamaica. He is saying that the court system is trying to have him deported, but he is fighting it saying that he has a child and he needs to be here for her. Rod has been deported before and managed to come back into the country unnoticed. I am afraid that if I don’t come clean about me seeing this new guy, and Rod finds out, he may do something to my new friend. I think I may know your next question which is, did I tell my new friend about Rod? The answer is, yes. I have told him everything from beginning -to end. I have even told him of the threats Rod made to me that if he ever sees me with another man he will kill them. I know that I need to end things with Rod, but I don’t want anyone to get hurt in the process including myself. Help – What To Do? Dear What To Do , And, the award for best dramatic actress in a leading role goes to, YOU! Girl, you love drama don’t you? Don’t you know that everything that is, and has, happened to you in your life is of your own doing? You are a Drama Queen. You are creating all the drama in your life and you love it. The question you need to be asking is why do you love drama so much? And, why do you keep creating it? You’ve been in a relationship with Rod, who is Jamaican, for 12 years, and he in this country illegally. You knew that when you started dating him. You probably loved the fact that he was on the run and you were his Bonnie to his Clyde. You were his ride or die chick. Girl, please. Save that for the movies. Then you have a baby with this man because you wanted to keep him around and to prove your love to him. Despite the fact he was sleeping with you and all the other women you busted him with. Why would you stay with a man who cheated on you on numerous occasions, and you caught him? Oh, yeah, because you invested so much into the relationship and you wouldn’t dare let another women come and benefit from all your time and effort you’ve committed to Rod. We all have choices in life. You can choose who you want to be in a relationship with. You consciously knew what you were getting when you started dating Rod. You knew what you were getting when you caught him cheating and you continued to stay. So, who can you blame for that? Now, he is in jail. You’ve started dating another man and haven’t told Rod about him. The courts are threatening to send him back to Jamaica and he’s saying he needs to be here for his daughter? Did he think about all of this before he went to jail? Was he concerned about becoming an American citizen while he was committing a crime? Is he using you, and his daughter, as his entrée into America? I’ll tell you this, the courts are not threatening to deport him, they will! He is in this country illegally. That is a crime in and of itself. However, he is currently in jail for a crime, and in the judicial system you are innocent until proven guilty, but, if he is found guilty of the crime he committed, they are going to ship him right back to Jamaica, and especially if they notice they’ve deported him once before. Don’t get me wrong, I do believe a man should be in his child’s life no matter the situation between the parents. It’s time you both grew up and became responsible parents for your daughter’s sake, and you and Rod are bound together because of your daughter. This is where you set the boundaries of your relationship with Rod. Decide what is in the best interest of your daughter and take it from there. But, hold on, Ms. What-To-Do , Rod has threatened to kill any man you get involved with and you have not told him that you are in another relationship? Yes, you love drama and you are right in the middle of it. I am certain that if Rod has threatened to kill someone else, then he has probably threatened you. I am also certain there is some history of abuse in your relationship with him. Do you want to stop the drama in your life? Then, stop creating it. Recognize your part in all of this. Take responsibility for your role. I strongly suggest you tell Rod the truth. Don’t wait and don’t prolong it any longer. If you are moving on without him as a partner, and you want some sanity in your life, then for once be honest with everyone, including Rod, and yourself. I also suggest you find a therapist, counselor, or women’s support group that help women in abusive relationships. A man threatening to kill other people for the sake of his love for you is not love. That is a dangerous person. He will harm you and it will escalate into a volatile situation and that is something you do not want your daughter to witness or experience. It’s time to get real about your daughter’s life, your life, and stop playing around with other people’s lives. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

This is crazy. Rev. Al Sharpton Depicted As Lynching Tree In Cartoon Wow, taking the black man who has a history of lynching in this country and turning him into the lynching tree… that doesn’t get more racist. According to Raw Story Conservative political cartoonist Michael Ramírez depicted MSNBC host and longtime civil activist Rev. Al Sharpton as a tree used for lynching in a piece posted online Friday by Investors Business Daily. The cartoon, sponsored by online investment site eTrade, shows a tree bearing Sharpton’s name hanging four hooded figures with the word “Truth” written on their backs, representing various high-profile criminal cases, including the Tawana Brawley sexual assault case, which was dismissed after a grand jury investigation declared Brawley’s allegations to be a hoax. At the time, Sharpton acted as an advisor for Brawley. The last figure on the tree bears the name “Zimmerman,” a reference to George Zimmerman, who was acquitted on second-degree murder charges for his role in the death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. The Sharpton piece was published three days after Ramírez used lynching in another cartoon, involving Zimmerman, giving that name to a horse under a man labeled as “White (hispanic)” tied to a noose. Ramírez also recently depicted President Barack Obama as using the Environmental Protection Agency to douse the torch on the Statue of Liberty, and shown Obama being urinated on by a dog symbollizing Russia as another character asks, “Do you think animals can sense weakness?” Phone and email messages to eTrade asking whether the company was aware of the content of Ramírez’s piece were not returned before publication. A screenshot of the cartoon can be seen below. We would be here all day if we named everything the black man has been lynched by in this country: The KKK, racial profiling, lack of economic equality, and the list goes on…
Pregnant Evan Rachel Wood is looking forward to the arrival of her baby with Jamie Bell, but having to deal with paparazzi is another story entirely. With Kate Middleton giving birth to the Royal Baby earlier today, it’s a subject that’s particularly topical. Says the 25-year-old Wood on Twitter: “I believe kids should be protected, not public domain. When my baby comes I would greatly appreciate no support of any paparazzi photos.” “It starts with you,” she continued. “Big thanks to anyone who understands.” “Lots of love… We know it wont eliminate the problem and it comes with the territory and all of that good stuff. But even a little goes a long way.” “It will get out either way, so yes we would like to be the ones to break the news when it arrives,” a la Kate Middleton , the actress continues. “Honestly I feel like people become more intensely private when they are being hounded by jerks all the time,” she went on, rather intently. “I feel like if we eliminated that people would share more cause they feel safe & in control of the situation. Fans can be fans. But they need to be aware.” What they’re supporting, she says, “can be dangerous … In other countries it is illegal or they blur the faces of children in pap photos. As they should.” “Paps while sometimes harmless can be very rude and become very aggressive and people do get hurt. Its scary to have around a baby.” The True Blood beauty was outraged this winter when The Daily Mail ran a photo showing her ultrasound picture in its celebrity gossip section. “I have never been more violated by a photographer,” she tweeted. “Thats the inside of my body and my child. Would u like my soul too? nothing is sacred.” What do you think? Does she have a point? Okay, she obviously makes a great point. But the biggest question is what she – and everyone – can do about it to strike a better balance. Ideas?
I repeat…the fat one is an SI Supermodel….but not just any SI Supermodel, their biggest (literally)…She’s been on the cover a lot, because she sells magazines, in an era magazines don’t matter, and they are milking her like the cow she is clearly modelling her body type after…her spirit animal. Even though, she’s fucking fat and has no business modelling bikinis, but I guess the world is open minded to it since 90 percent of girls are fat pigs now…but I am the 10 percent motherfucker…I want my bikini models to not look like dumpy piles of shit. It makes no fucking sense on a few levels, the first being why dudes like a fat girl just cuz she has tits, wouldn’t it be better if SI found a fit girl with tits? The second being, wouldn’t Kate Upton know she’s expected to be half naked all the time, it is her job, and thus spend days starving herself and working out?…Third being, wouldn’t SI find a fit girl with tits instead of using this one…. If you don’t believe me…here’s another photo evidence of Kate Upton from another angle…she’s the fucking worst, fight it all you want, send in hate male, I am right. Here is proof.
