Dayum, can we hold something Bey Bey And Jay ? Beyonce And Jay Z Top Forbes Highest Earning Couples List They’re poppin’ bottles in the Carter household. $95 million can buy Beyonce a lot of Brazilian mansions. According to Forbes Jay Z and Beyonce Knowles are so much more than just the first couple of hip-hop: They’re a combination of two of the savviest business people in entertainment. They made more than any other celebrity couple this year with an estimated $95 million in earnings between June 2012 and June 2013. Both are musicians at the top of their games, with multiple hits under their belts. Jay Z’s recent Watch the Throne album went platinum and launched a world tour that brought in $1.4 million per night in America. Knowles, who took a short break when her daughter Blue Ivy was born in January last year, was back with a vengeance this year with her Mrs. Carter world tour, which grossed an average $2 million per night. Then there are their other interests. Jay Z is a part owner of the new Barclays BCS -0.94% Center in Brooklyn, where the Brooklyn Nets play. He sold his stake in the team and now has to dump his share in the arena, too, because he’s started his own sports agency: Roc Nation Sports, which represents star athletes like Kevin Durant and Victor Cruz. Knowles has a fragrance collection and a clothing line called House of Deron. Blue Ivy could soon join the family business. She’s already been on one of her Dad’s songs and her parents have petitioned to trademark her name for the right to use it on anything from baby clothes to toys. “We fly high, no lie…BALLIN’”

SMH… Don’t blame the Thai box for driving him crazy. The shooter who claimed the lives of 12 innocent people at a D.C. Naval Yard Monday was obsessed with Thai culture and even became depressed after a woman he fell in love with in Thailand refused to move to the US. Via Daily Mail reports : Washington Naval Yard gunman Aaron Alexis called police to his hotel room in Rhode Island last month and complained of hearing voices in the closet as friends of the shooter today revealed he was devastated last year when a Thai girlfriend left him broken-hearted. According to Lt. William Fitzgerald of the Newport Police, a disturbed Alexis, 34, called police complaining that he had become involved in an argument with three people at the airport a full six weeks before before his shooting rampage which claimed the lives of 12 people on Monday. Telling police that he was being followed by two black men and a black woman, Alexis also told police officers that he was hearing voices in the closet of his hotel room and wanted a transfer to a Navy hotel. Lt. Fitzgerald told NBC News that his officers ran a background check on Alexis, but no outstanding warrants were returned and he told police that he felt physically and emotionally fine and needed no further assistance. Earlier on Tuesday, anonymous law enforcement officials said that Alexis sought treatment from the Veterans Administration in August for paranoia, insomnia and possible schizophrenia and a New York Times report claims that he had suffered mental issues for up to a decade. He was described as a Buddhist who had also had flares of rage, complained about the Navy and being a victim of discrimination and had several run-ins with law enforcement, including two shootings. Eight people were injured including three who were shot, Washington Mayor Vincent Gray said. Those killed were aged 46 to 73, he said. Investigations continued into the circumstances of their deaths. They are, according to Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department: Michael Arnold, 59; Sylvia Frasier, 53; Kathy Gaarde, 62; John Roger Johnson, 73;Frank Kohler, 50; Kenneth Bernard Proctor, 46; Arthur Daniels, 51, Martin Bodrog, 54, Richard Michael Ridgell, 52, Gerald L. Read, 58, Mary Knight, 51 and Vishnu Pandit, 61. Authorities said none of the victims were known to have been active-duty military personnel. He definitely sounds like he was suffering from some severe mental issues. But some of it also sounds like cultural alienation (only worse for you now bruh, you’re an embarrassment to the race!) because according to a former employer he complained of discrimination and felt most comfortable around Thai people because they treated him well. Via Channel 4 reports : Aaron Alexis, the 34 year-old accused of killing 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard, was employed at the Happy Bowl Thai restaurant in Fort Worth, Texas, as a delivery driver for three years. The owner of the restaurant, Nutpisit Suthamtewakul, also provided the suspected gunman with a room in his house. This arrangement came to an end just two months ago when Mr Suthamtewakul got married. “My wife wanted some privacy,” he said. The African-American often complained of racial discrimination and bias, said Mr Suthamtewakul. “He didn’t have any (American) friends. His only friends were Thais because they were nice to him,” he added. Alexis took a trip to the south east Asian nation in 2012.He spent 45 days there, entering the country on 28 March, 2012. Alexis was shown around by family member Parin Suthamtewakul. She took him to a number of tourist spots including rural Korat, north east Thailand, and a beach resort in Hua Hin. They also celebrated the annual Thai new year festival of Songkran, where participants soak each other with buckets, sponges and water-guns. Alexis is reported to have frequented a Buddhist temple in Fort Worth, Texas, but we are told that he showed little interest in temples or Buddhism while on holiday in Thailand. Instead, “he went to massage parlors”, said Mr Suthamtewakul. Alexis also met a Thai woman on his holiday and developed “a crush on her” Mr Suthamtewakul added. The ex-Navy reservist asked this woman if she wanted to come back the United States and live with him but she declined. Channel 4 News understands that Alexis had said this was because the woman “didn’t like black people.” SMH @ him going to massage parlors and his jawn not liking black folks! Sounds like homeboy was truly lost in the sauce. Channel 4 Continue reading
We are still baffled over the segregated sororities in 2013, but we’re glad all the media attention has finally brought about change University of Alabama Ends Segregation In Sorority System According to TIME reports : Nearly a week after the University of Alabama came under fire for persistent segregation in its sorority system, school officials are set to announce a deal that would clear the way for black women to be admitted to the school’s prestigious and historically white Greek organizations. The deal, which a university spokesperson confirmed to TIME, is the first step toward ending more than a century of systematic segregation in the school’s sorority system. The move comes after a story last week in the school’s student newspaper, The Crimson White, about a highly qualified black student being denied a bid to join any of the school’s prestigious, historically white sororities. Despite receiving excellent scores during the recruitment process from current sorority members, the young woman — who requested that her name not appear in the paper’s story – was reportedly blocked by alumnae. The sole reason, according to current sorority members: she was black. Another black woman was also denied a bid. Some alumnae even threatened to pull financial support from their sororities if they accepted black members. “The issue is the alumnae and not the undergraduates,” says Gentry McCreary, who served as Alabama’s director of greek affairs from 2007 to 2011. “There’s definitely some fear, whether real or imagined, that there would be some repercussions if a sorority took an African American member. They’re able to subvert the will of the chapter, and it’s gone on for far too long.” The new agreement will allow sororities to offer new bids to candidates who were not accepted during the recruitment process. The deal was reached following an emergency meeting Sunday night between University President Judy Bonner and sorority chapter advisors. The agreement is expected to allow sororities to extend bids to the young women mentioned in the Crimson White article. If they accept the offers, it will end one of the last bastions of segregation at the school. “The allegations are that young women were not selected because of their race,” Bonner said via email. “If these allegations are true, then that is discrimination. It is against the law, University policy and the policy of the national organizations. No University organization will be allowed to discriminate against students based on their race.” It took a newspaper article to bring about change? Sad. Facebook

Must be nice … Scott Disick Uses Money As Toilet Paper Via TMZ reports: Scott Disick hates poor people. He also hates the middle class … and also the barely rich. In fact, Scott hates all un-super rich people so much … he posted a bunch of photos this weekend in what appeared to be a blitzkreig to mock them … starting with the wads of $100 bills he uses to wipe his ass. He posted pics of diamond jewelry, expensive watches and wads of cash … along with captions like, “Hello, peasant’s is that u?” He included the hash tag, “f**ku.” Another caption read, “I can’t help myself tonight #fu” Sure it’s tasteless.
