Everyone from Denzel to Halle Berry was in attendance. The one person who stole the show, though, was Beyonce. She stunned in a gold dress getup that looked like pure money. But you know what happens whenever Beyonce wears anything remotely tight. Everyone pumps out pregnancy rumors. SMH. Can she live? It’s not just the fit on the dress, though. People are pointing out…her nose? Really? Take a look at the speculation and maybe just chill out next time one of our faves put on a tight dress. Guys…. is Beyoncé pregnant or am I trippin?

Source: Boston Globe / Getty Teacher Suspended For Disparaging Comments About The Confederate Flag A secondary school teacher in Georgia was suspended for referring to the confederate flag as a sign that an individual plans to marry their own sister. I meaaaaaan…..some points were made. The Richmond County School System ended up launching an investigation after said teacher put a photo of the confederate flag on their board with a message that stated: “A sticker you put on the back of your pickup truck to announce that you intend to marry your sister. Think of it like a white trash ‘Save the Date’ card.” One of their students at Hephzibah High School ended up being upset by the message, so she told her mother about the whole thing. The student’s mother, Melissa Fuller, voiced her anger about the matter in a post on Facebook, which is where it was widely circulated and prompted discussion from other parents at the school along with local residents. “A lot of [the discussion] is that it’s not morally correct. It’s unethical. It’s just something you don’t want to discuss today in today’s world and especially inside of a classroom,” the mother told WRDW-TV . Fuller added that her daughter had been suspended after wearing a belt that features a Confederate flag buckle to school after being asked to remove the belt. “If she can’t wear that belt buckle, then why is it appropriate to make an assignment out of it?” she asked. Now, the teacher in question has been placed on administrative leave, according to the Augusta Chronicle . The school district told the outlet, “The Richmond County School System is committed to creating a diverse, equitable learning environment for all students. The language used in the example was unacceptable and has no place in our classrooms.” While some insist that the Confederate flag–first used during the American Civil War– simply serves as a major source for Southern pride, it’s extremely offensive to many who argue that the symbol is synonymous with white supremacy, bigotry, slavery, racism, etc. Now, the flag is regularly used by neo-nazis throughout the United States.
So, in case you missed it, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro went and got himself into trouble again. That in itself isn’t a shock, since Ronnie has been on a serious downward spiral for a good long while now. But the story about what actually happened is pretty darn intense, even for him. Late Thursday night and into Friday morning, Ron and his girlfriend, Jen Harley, had some kind of issue, as they often do. They were at an Airbnb with their daughter, 18-month-old Ariana, when they started arguing. Things escalated, and Ron allegedly slapped and punched her. She ran outside and started screaming for help — there isn’t an “allegedly” for this part, because apparently several neighbors called 911 to alert authorities of that part of the situation. But instead of just letting her go, Ron ran after her with a knife in one hand and baby Ariana in the other. Jen wouldn’t listen, so he dropped the knife, went back inside with the kid, and locked the door. When police arrived, they asked him to open the door, and when he refused, they broke down the door so they could make sure Ariana was OK. She was, but Ronnie still refused to cooperate, so out came the taser. He was pretty incapacitated, on account of being tasered, so he was taken to a hospital before he was taken to jail and booked on kidnapping charges. What a ride, huh? A terrible, horrifying, just inexcusably awful ride. Jen told police that Ronnie went off after doing some cocaine, which might explain his behavior a bit, but it’s obviously not an excuse. Especially when he and Jen both have such a history of being violent with each other , including but certainly not limited to that time that she dragged him with her car . The whole incident honestly sounds terrifying, and it sounds like the worst bit of violence between them yet, which is really saying something. But was it so bad that they could both end up losing custody of Ariana? According to a lawyer who spoke with Hollywood Life, yeah. The lawyer, a family law attorney in California named David T. Pisarra, doesn’t personally know Ronnie and Jen, but it’s safe to say he’s familiar with situations like these. And as he explains it, Ronnie could be facing an additional charge of child endangerment for what went down, and if he does, then “the government may not allow” any kind of reconciliation between him and Jen. We all know that they have a history of getting into these kinds of fights, breaking up, then getting back together and giving interviews and how they’ve changed and grown and how everything is fine now. But according to this lawyer, “It’s conceivable that the Department of Child & Family Services might not let that happen.” “DCFS could threaten to take the baby from them if she gets back together with Ron because she’s putting the baby in a dangerous position.” “They could charge Jen with negligent parenting,” he adds. Additionally, “DCFS could require Jen to get a restraining order against Ronnie to protect herself and the baby from him.” But if Jen does decide to leave him for good, she has “a phenomenal case for sole custody,” which makes sense. “The prior abuse in their relationship is between them alone, but the fact that Ronnie was holding the baby while he’s chasing Jen now involves the kid,” the attorney says. Going forward, she could potentially get one of two different kinds of restraining orders — a criminal protective order or a civil domestic restraining disorder. Either would be easy for her to obtain, and if she got one, it’s extremely likely that she’d end up with sole custody of Ariana, with Ron getting some kind of supervised visitation. View Slideshow: Ronnie Magro Attacks Jen Harley With a Knife, Gets Arrested and Tased By Cops So it’s looking like if Jen is finally done with Ron, he could lose custody of Ariana, but if she tries to get back together with him, then they could both lose custody. And that’s why you don’t (allegedly!) do a bunch of cocaine and then (also allegedly) chase your girlfriend with a knife while holding your baby.

As the Twitter saying goes, “The devil works hard but Kris Jenner works harder.” News then dropped that Kylie was “spotted with Tyga” which she has since denied claiming her friend needed a ride to the studio—I’m not sure who calls their billionaire friend for a ride instead of asking them to get them an Uber but Kylie must be a great friend. (Wink, Wink) Soon after the drama started, Travis Scott announced his second annual “Astroworld Festival” and announced the release date of his highly anticipated single “Highest In The Room.” The track hit digital streaming platforms Thursday night around 11 p.m. and has already broken records. . @trvisXX 's “HIGHEST IN THE ROOM” earns the biggest debut for a single released separate from an album in US Spotify history (3.94 million). — chart data (@chartdata) October 6, 2019 Travis racked up almost 4 million streams on Spotify alone.

B lack women are making historic moves in the realm of entrepreneurship. According to Atlanta Black Star , Dr. Venaya Jones recently opened the first veterinary clinic in Cleveland to be owned and operated by an African American woman. Meet Dr. Venaya Jones, owner of Cleveland's first black woman-owned veterinary clinic (via @ATLBlackStar ) https://t.co/WbW2Cr7dmY pic.twitter.com/RH9nJbNd6x — Veterinary Practice News (@VetPracticeNews) September 25, 2019 The clinic—which is based in the city’s Fairfax community—was created to provide accessible care for animals from different socioeconomic households. The facility offers a wide spectrum of services including diagnostic exams, dermatology, wellness visits, and hospice care. Dr. Jones—who discovered her passion for helping animals at a young age—says she wants to utilize the Cleveland Veterinary Clinic as an avenue to push animal health care forward and establish the clinic as a go-to veterinary facility in Cleveland. “I feel like it’s a great opportunity here in Cleveland, especially there being no other vet hospitals here,” she said in a statement. “There are tons of people with pets, we’re in the health tech corridor. I mean, this is where quality medicine is discovered and done, and I want to be a part of that.” For the Western University College of Veterinary Medicine graduate, opening up the Cleveland Veterinary Clinic was about more than her passion for animal health care; its about representation. Dr. Jones hopes her journey will inspire Black youth to pursue careers in veterinary medicine. She mentors youth and other women of color who are interested in stepping into the field. “I’m hoping to uplift the community both physically and emotionally, health wise by taking care of their pets, but … also bringing a sense of pride and a sense of accomplishment,” she said. “I want to be able to show other [young minorities] that they can do it, anything that they dream of, because here is a Black woman that’s come into this community and made it happen.” Black entrepreneurs are breaking barriers in the medical field. Earlier this year a group of African American medical professionals joined forces to open up Chicago’s only Black-owned urgent care facility .
