By this point the Kim Kardashian robbery incident is old news, but while the tabloids consider to cover every inch of this story, it is easy to forget that there is an actual human being — a woman with two young children — who had to live through a terrifying and traumatizing incident. Still, some on Twitter […]
…“Fact is, the workplace will always feature people with a lack of integrity, because there will always be people who are struggling to find their way—and that’s really what a lack of integrity is,” The Muse put it simply. The good thing is while unethical co-workers might be tricky, they are easy to spot. “They tell on themselves,” said career coach Chantay Bridges. “Conference calls, team meetings or department get-togethers, they are always the first person to throw the entire group under the bus. They will make a purpose to communicate negative issues, responding to and answering questions that were never even asked. They simply do not do their jobs!” Jennifer Hancock of Humanist Learning Systems, further explained, “If they lie about anything, they are unethical. If they steal, they are unethical. If they spread rumors about other people, they are unethical. If they bully, they are unethical. If they don’t take responsibility for their actions, they are unethical. And, in all cases, they are also unprofessional.” [ MadameNoire ] Study: Maintain Weight Loss For A Year And You Can Keep It Off For The Long Term According to a recent study put together by researchers in Denmark, if you can hold it together for at least that amount of time, it will be easier to stay at the weight you’ve worked to get to for the long term. Twenty otherwise healthy but obese individuals were monitored for two months as they went on extremely low-calorie diets. We’re talking about 800 calories a day, folks. Participants lost an average of 13 percent of their body weight. After that, they were put on a less extreme diet for 52 weeks and found that their weight remained stable. The work they did for two months didn’t go to waste. Still, it wasn’t easy. According to the research, the hormone ghrelin, which is known as the “hunger hormone,” increased by 23 percent after subjects initially lost weight, causing people’s cravings to go berserk. But during the 52 weeks of a monitored diet, ghrelin decreased to seven percent. Also, the hormones that help you feel fuller ended up increasing substantially over the 52 weeks… [ MadameNoire ] Jay Z Is Bringing The Kalief Browder Story To Television Jay Z is making his presence known on yet another platform.

Someone we actually like… Lupita Nyong’o Stuns While Promoting Queen Of Katwe Lupita Nyong’o was spotted this week once again wearing traditional African garb while promoting “Queen of Katwe.” The actress who plays the mother of chess champion Phiona Mutesi in the film, showed off her slimmy trimmy physique in blue.. and sported crimson heels to set off the ensemble. Lupita’s got a helluva baaaaawdy, no? In addition to being on the promo run, Lupita’s also covering Time Out London and dishing on the film’s all African cast. The film’s the story of an African chess prodigy and has no white characters. Were you surprised that Disney didn’t want to, say, stick Leonardo DiCaprio in there to make it more ‘palatable’? ‘It’s very refreshing. It’s all thanks to Tendo Nagenda, who is of Ugandan descent and he’s an executive at Disney. He saw the magic in this story, and you know Disney loves magic. It takes people like that – people in positions of power – who are unafraid of the global. Because the world is made up of all sorts of people. We share more than we differ. And this is an African film that demonstrates that.’ All hail Lupita. More photos of this glowing goddess on the flip.

Rumor control… Porsha Williams Responds To Kandi Burruss Fight Reports Remember when we told you that Porsha Williams and Kandi Burruss allegedly almost had a brawl while filming RHOA??? Well Porsha’s telling her side of the story and confirming that while something did go down, it’s not what you think. “No we did not [have a fight],” said Porsha. “No, I saw that story and a lot of people have been asking me about it. There was a misunderstanding, that Kandi and I had. I can’t say whether this was on or off camera.” “It was definitely a misunderstanding,” she added. “But no I didn’t have a breakdown. Sometimes if you have a misunderstanding with a friend you disengage and go to your car and you leave.” WELP! Looks like there was no knock-down drag-out beef between Porsha and Kandi. What do YOU think really happened between them???
