They may have partied the night before but Bey and Jigga still showed up in fine form for Easter with Blue Ivy. Beyoncé Shares Photos From Easter With Blue Ivy And Jay Z Bey took to her Tumblr with a gang of new photos from the holiday and we’ve got details on the family’s Easter outing as well. According to US Weekly reports : An eyewitness tells Us Weekly the Carters spent their Easter Sunday at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills, Calif., where they enjoyed a holiday brunch with extended family members. The pre-fixe meal was $135 per person, and included steak, desserts, and drinks. The insider adds the party was seated in a “more private area with about 10 people. It looked like they were with Beyonce’s family.” “Blue Ivy had little rabbit ears that were super cute,” the eyewitness notes of Jay and Bey’s little princess. “They were passing her around the table and everyone was ‘ooh’-ing and ‘ash’-ing over how adorable she was.” “Jay was wearing a button down and Beyonce had on a white sheer top and headband,” the eyewitness says of the power couple. “They looked happy and it looked like a nice little Easter brunch. No one was bothering them and looked like it a good time was had by all.” “They were seated at 1:30 in the afternoon,” the insider adds, “and left by 4 p.m.” Hopefully the Easter Bunny made a better impression than Mickey Mouse.

Bout time the cops cleaned up those filthy Florida streets 44 Arrested In Florida Human Trafficking Sting Via OrlandoSentinel An offer of a drink and snacks was all it took to lure the 14-year-old Orlando girl into a man’s car. She quickly found out she had made a terrible mistake. Less than seven hours later, Lake deputies rescued the terrified and confused teenager after she had been kidnapped and forced to have sex by an assailant who then tried to use her as a prostitute, authorities said. Gregory Lionel Foster, 28, of Orlando faces numerous charges, including human trafficking and kidnapping. He was among 44 people arrested in a three-day sex sting operation. “It’s unacceptable,” Lake Sheriff Gary Borders said in announcing his agency’s first human-trafficking bust. “Those people need to be in jail and we’re glad to put them in jail.” Human trafficking includes commercial, for-profit sex where one person benefits while another is forced to perform acts, said Lake sheriff’s Det. Amber Warren, who handled the Foster case. Warren said such cases take months to investigate and pin down. Victims usually underreport what’s happening to them, she said, so the cases require a lot of rapport building for victims to trust law officers. What happened to the 14-year-old is all too common, said Tomas Lares, who chairs the Greater Orlando Human Trafficking Task Force. Lares said human traffickers take the time necessary to “groom” victims by getting to know them, calling them beautiful and developing “dysfunctional” relationships. Traffickers target vulnerable victims with low self-esteem who are easily manipulated, he said. Although his group doesn’t yet have firm statistics on trafficking of minors, Lares said it seems as if “the demand is growing to have sex with children.” Gross. In the case involving the 14-year-old, she and Foster had connected on Facebook, Warren said. He saw her at a gas station about 7 p.m. April 9 in Orlando, bought her a drink and snacks and offered her a ride home. But Warren saidFoster had no intention of taking her there. Within hours, Foster twice tried to force the girl he called a “baby” to have sex with other people against her will — all before her mother realized the teen had left home. The girl was scared and tried to run away before Foster took her to an Orlando motel and had sex with her, according to an arrest affidavit. Then, responding to an Internet ad for sex hookups, Foster took her to a Clermont hotel. He planned to force the girl to have sex with a stranger for $270, the affidavit said, a price that included $50 in gas money. Fortunately for her, that turned out to be where Lake detectives were running the prostitution sting. Thank God for that ad, who knows what kind of sick and disgusting isht this scumbag would have had this little girl doin’.
