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?

GTFOHWTBS: Ariel Castro To Plead Not Guilty, Lawyer Says “He’s A Human Being, The Media Wants To Demonize Him Before They Know The Whole Story”

The lawyers defending Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro claim he’s not the monster the media is making him out to be. Via People reports : Ariel Castro, who is facing kidnapping and forced sex charges over the alleged abduction of three Cleveland women, will plead not guilty, his lawyers say. “The initial portrayal of him is one of a quote ‘monster,’ and that is not the impression that I got,” one of his two attorneys, Craig Weintraub, said in an interview that aired on Wednesday’s Today show. Added Castro’s co-counsel, attorney Jaye Schlachet: “He is a human being, but what is offensive is that the women and the media want to demonize this man before they know the whole story, and I think it’s unfair and not equitable.” While prosecutors have alleged that Castro, 52, operated a torture chamber and private prison, keeping the women – Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight – incarcerated and often chained for up to a decade inside his Cleveland home, Castro’s attorneys say they know the whole story, which will come out as the case moves ahead. “I am aware of how he came in contact with them,” Weintraub told NBC News about the three victims. He did not reveal further details of the defense’s strategy. A not-guilty plea would send the case to trial, which could force the three women to testify and, as experts have pointed out, re-live what authorities say took place in the house. DNA tests show Castro is the father of a daughter, 6, with victim Amanda Berry, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced earlier this week. While Castro is kept locked in the Cuyahoga County jail cell in isolation, his lawyers say he is concerned about his child and that he is a loving dad. Speaking to TV station WKYC Tuesday, the attorneys – Schlachet also defended convicted Cleveland serial killer Anthony Sowell, now on death row for the murder of 11 women whose bodies were found at his home – expressed their concern about Castro’s receiving a fair trial. “Mr. Castro is extremely committed to the well-being and positive future of his daughter, who he loves and cares about,” said Weintraub. If he loved and cared about his daughter so much, maybe he shouldn’t have been raising her in a home where he kept HUMAN BEINGS as sex slaves and prisoners. SMH. These lawyers ain’t isht!

Hell’s Kitchen: Chef Spazzes Out On His Dinner Partner And Fatally Stabs Her Four Times For Eating Before He Arrived

This was one time Annamae should have just left the cake alone…… Chef Kills Dinner Partner For Eating Before He Arrived Elsewhere in the world… via STV Glascow Peter Cumming was jailed for life for murdering Lynda Brown in their home in Glasgow’s south side. On Wednesday, Cumming was told he would serve at least 14 years in prison before being able to apply for parole for 14 years after admitting killing his 63-year-old partner by stabbing her four times in the back. The court heard that Ms Brown and Cumming had planned a dinner party and invited friends. When Cumming returned after buying ingredients for the meal, he claimed that Ms Brown told him that she had already eaten and this made him “really angry”. Cumming, who had an alcohol problem and who had previously been convicted of domestic abuse on Miss Brown, claimed they had words and “something snapped.” He told police: “I was in behind her in the bedroom and I had the knife and I don’t know where it came from I don’t know. I was out of control. It’s just not like me I am so in control. I need to keep things in control.” The killer said Ms Brown reacted to his anger by goading him and said he picked up a large kitchen knife and plunged it into her. He said he stabbed her once while she was standing and then once again as she lay on the ground. It should NEVER come to this over food. This man was clearly deranged. SMH. Image via Shutterstock
