First The Fat Boys break-up… Beyonce And Jay Z Said To Be Estranged When Not On Stage Performing Via RadarOnline Just days after rumors swirled that Beyonce toured a $21.5 million apartment in the Big Apple for a possible bachelorette pad, a new report claims the superstar’s marriage to Jay Z is in such disarray, the couple may not even be able to finish their joint On The Run tour. “I’m definitely not sure that they’ll make it to Paris,” a source told the New York Post’s Page Six about the longtime pair, who will wrap their international tour in the City of Light on September 13. The paper even insists the “Single Ladies” singer, 32, and her hip-hop mogul husband, 44, remain apart offstage. “They’re not just staying in different hotel rooms, but they have booked separate hotels, and they arrive separately to each show,” the insider said. The couples’ handlers are allegedly in crisis mode: Jay Z and Beyonce attended an emergency meeting on July 31 with concert promoter Live Nation and at least four lawyers to discuss the imploding union, Page Six continues. Though executives insisted the pair put out a statement, the stars refused because they couldn’t agree on what it would say. The paper cites the rapper’s “controlling nature” for the cause of the strife. Despite this report, the Carter’s were photographed coupled up and smiling over the weekend at Gloria Carter’s new restaurant opening. Flip the page for pics and details. Image via AKM-GSI
Sad, sad, sad … 3-Year-Old Girl Killed In Philadelphia During Shootout Via NBCPhiladelphia A 3-year-old girl, shot as she was sitting on a porch, has died after a man opened fire along a Philadelphia street following an argument. Three others were also hit by gunfire. Gunshots rang out around 9:40 p.m. on Friday along the 1500 block of S. Etting Street near 27th Street in the Grays Ferry section of the city, police said. Philadelphia Police Capt. Michael Gormley said two men began arguing along the block when one pulled out a gun and started firing. A stray bullet hit the girl in the left side of her chest, Gormley said. Witnesses tell NBC10.com that the girl was getting her hair done when she was struck. Family and friends say the girl did not live at the home and that her mother was around the corner at the time of the shooting. Officers arriving on the scene put her in a patrol car and rushed her to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, officials said. But despite trauma doctor’s efforts, she was pronounced dead at 10:21 p.m. Sadly enough, this little girl was not the only victim of this shooting… Three other people were also hit by the gunfire, police said. The other man involved in the argument was shot in the head. He was rushed by officers to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, police said. He remains there in critical condition. A 21-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman who police say were bystanders, were also struck. The man was struck in the leg. He was taken to HUP where he is currently in stable condition. The woman was struck in the arm. She was also taken to HUP where she was treated and released. Witnesses say the shooter fled the scene on his bicycle. Police took a person of interest into custody near the scene, but have not identified him as a suspect. Prayers go out to the family of the young girl who lost her life, as well as those injured in this senseless shooting. Image via Shutterstock
Chris Brown and Drake were set to debut their much-anticipated new song Monday, but that idea was tossed after the former was denied entry into Canada. According to reports, Drake invited Chris to join him Monday night on stage at his OVO Fest in Toronto, Ontario, the city where he was born and raised. The singer agreed and planned to come perform the song on which they collaborated last month after the Chris Brown-Drake bromance went public. That won’t be happening, though, because Chris can’t get into Canada . The country has a zero tolerance policy, or close to it, when it comes to letting known criminals inside its borders, and the R&B star qualifies and then some. Chris Brown has been convicted of a violent felony, is on probation and awaiting trial for another violent offense (his alleged assault in D.C.) to boot. Brown’s people reportedly nixed the appearance upon learning that given the country’s policy, it was not happening, especially on such short notice. Looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer to find out if it’s any good, or if there are really veiled references to Rihanna in the song, as the rumors say. In related news, Chris was also rejected by Karrueche Tran this week. 25 Pics of Chris Brown Thuggin’ It! 1. Chris Brown Smoking Weed Chris Brown smoking weed – 3 joints at the same time no less.

This the kinda thing Bobby Shmurda got y’all dancing to? SMH Florida Boy Charged With Murder Of Homeless Man Via NYDailyNews A 12-year-old boy was collared for fatally shooting a homeless man in the head more than a month after the victim was found dead on a Florida street, police said. The boy — identified by WAWS-TV as Sharron Townsend — was collared Thursday for the murder of Thomas Trent, 54, after police identified the gunman in footage from a security camera near the June 28 shooting, Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Assistant Chief Chris Butler said. “It’s a horrific event,” Butler told reporters. “Horrific for the victim…but also you’re talking about a 12-year-old child.” Trent’s body was found lying outside an abandoned restaurant in the city’s west side. Investigators found a surveillance camera a short time later between a dental care office and a tattoo parlor that recorded two young men walking near the site where Trent was killed. A few minutes later, the footage shows the two suspects running “with their shorts on their heads” towards the back of a strip-mall where Trent was shot, according to an arrest report. Police managed to identify the other boy in the video as a 16-year-old who was being held in jail on an unrelated charge. Apparently the 16-year-old dropped dime on the young bol. The teen was not considered a suspect, but Butler did not elaborate. He said the younger boy was charged after he admitted to being in the surveillance clip. “The suspect gave admissions, and he identified himself in the video and being present and involved in the murder,” Butler said. Police were still trying to determine why Trent was shot. “Thomas had a heart of gold,” his sister, Dawn McNabb, told the local Fox affiliate. “Yeah, he was homeless. Yeah, he had a problem drinking, but that didn’t make a reason for him to be killed. That didn’t make a reason for him to be a target.” By no means should this kid be allowed to be tried as a minor.

Would you be afraid enough to shoot without looking to see who it was first if someone was pounding on your door at 4 am? Michigan Man Claims He Shot Black Teen On His Porch Because He Feared For His Life The trial is underway for Theodore Wafer, a white suburban homeowner who shot 19-year-old McBride in the face as she sought help on his porch and he’s hoping the jury will sympathize with his fearfulness. Via Al-Jazeera America reports: Defense attorney Cheryl Carpenter on Wednesday appealed to a Detroit jury to “understand how Ted felt” before he shot an unarmed black teen on his porch last fall. “He was acting and reacting to escalating fear,” Carpenter said in her opening statement about Theodore Wafer, 55, on trial for second-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Renisha McBride. “He had never been so scared in his entire life. It’s horrible and it’s sad that a 19-year-old woman is dead. But Ted is justified in what he did.” Whether it was reasonable for Wafer to think his house was under attack is the key question the jury must weigh as this galvanizing, racially charged trial proceeds in Detroit. Wafer is white and lives in the mostly white Detroit border city of Dearborn Heights. He killed McBride in the early hours of Nov. 2, when, he says, she was banging on his door. To the prosecution, this is a straightforward case of a trigger-happy homeowner who opened the front door and shot McBride rather than, if he was truly afraid, calling 911. He called 911 after the shooting occurred. “There was no sign of any attempted burglary, there’s no evidence of any effort to breaking in,” said prosecutor Danielle Hagaman-Clark in her opening remarks. “His actions that night are unnecessary, unjustified and unreasonable. Because of that, a 19-year-old girl is dead on a porch in Dearborn Heights. Would you have called 911 first? The defense attorney is already doing a “bang up” job describing Wafer’s state of mind before he pulled the trigger: Carpenter said Wafer was fast asleep in a recliner in his living room when, at around 4:20 a.m., someone banged on his door. Fearful, he lay on the floor and groped for his cellphone but could not find it. Over the subsequent minutes he panicked, believing his home was under siege by possibly more than one attacker and asserting he heard metal in the front door frame “breaking.” “They’re coming to get me,” Carpenter said, narrating Wafer’s thoughts in the moment. “It’s metal breaking. Breaking! On his front door. Ted hears it. Ted is thinking they’re coming in. They’re breaking [into] my house. Why? He doesn’t have a clue. He just knows they’re coming in.” Carpenter sought to defuse the racial elements of the case by insisting that Wafer didn’t know the color or gender of the person when he shot her. All he knew, she said, was that he opened his front door, noticed the screen frame a few inches out of its hinge and then fired the gun when McBride leaped onto the stoop, startling him. “Ted is shattered,” Carpenter said. “He knows immediately that he killed somebody … It was only after that he saw it was a shorter person. She seemed dark-complected but he isn’t sure. He didn’t know anything before he shot. All he knew was, ‘People are breaking into my house.’” Do you believe that he didn’t know she was black? In the meantime there is a lot working against the prosecution’s case, namely the fact that an autopsy has established McBride’s blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit and witnesses have confirmed she was drinking and smoking marijuana earlier that night. After opening statements, prosecutors called McBride’s mother and best friend. Between the two of them, they established that McBride had drunk vodka and smoked marijuana in the evening of Nov. 1 at home. Her mother said she and McBride argued because the teen hadn’t cleaned the house, and McBride left the house by car at around 11:15 p.m. Around 1 a.m., she crashed her car into that of Carmen Beasley, who lives about a mile from Wafer on the Detroit side of the city limits. Beasley said she tried to get McBride to stay put as they waited for the police and an ambulance, but McBride vanished. “She just wanted to go home,” Beasley testified. “She wasn’t belligerent. She was young and she just wanted to be at home. That was her goal, to be home.” This case is so sad. We really feel for McBride and her family and the prosecution is building a strong case that Wafer’s greatest error was going to the door with a locked and loaded shotgun, a weapon likely to do serious damage at such close range. But if a stranger knocked on your door at 4 am can you say you wouldn’t do the same? It’s not like he could see in the dark that she was bleeding from the head and needed help. Do you think it’s an open and shut case of him being guilty of second degree murder and manslaughter? AP Images
Carrie Bradshaw didn’t tolerate much crap on Sex and the City, but in real life Sarah Jessica Parker has stood by her man through numerous allegations that he cheated on her with younger women. Matthew Broderick’s infidelity has never been confirmed, but sources tell The National Enquirer that SJP is through giving her husband of 17 years the benefit of the doubt, and she’s preparing to file for divorce as a result of Broderick’s most recent cheating scandal. Back in April Parker attacked a Twitter user named Sarah Symonds for reasons that remain mysterious. At the time, it was pointed out that a woman of the same name made headlines in 2010 for threatening to reveal Gordon Ramsay’s affair. Did Symonds have the dirt on Broderick and Parker is just now seeing the light? We may never know for certain, but sources say that in any case, Parker is well and truly done with Broderick. The Parker-Brodericks reportedly took a trip to Ireland recently in an effort to save their marriage, but onlookers in the small town where the couple owns a cottage said that the stars “barely spoke to each other” and seemed resigned to calling it quits by the end of their stay. Broderick and Parker welcomed twin sons in 2009 , and prior to the infidelity accusations, they had been regarded as one of Hollywood’s most stable couples. Celebrity Break-Ups of 2014 1.
