Atlanta songstress Ciara fears for the safety of her fi- ance, Russell Wilson, ac- cording to legal documents. The legal documents were filed in her defamation lawsuit against Future.

In the documents, Ciara refers to Future's actions as "frightening" and "socially irre- sponsible...where there has
NORRISTOWN, Pa. --Bill Cosby's lawyers will ask a Pennsylvania judge to either throw out his criminal sex as- sault case or let him face his ac- cuser in court before trial.
Cosby is due back in court near Philadelphia on Thursday to appeal a judge's decision to send the case to trial. Cosby's lawyers insist a trial should not be held until accuser Andrea Constand testifies and they get a chance to cross-examine her. But prosecutors say a recent court ruling allowed them to use her police statement at the May preliminary hearing instead.
A lower court judge agreed, and upheld the charges.
Now the defense will ask the trial judge, Steven T. O'Neill, to reconsider the issue. O'Neill could set a trial date if he rules against the defense Thursday.
Cosby, 78, is charged with felony indecent assault for al- legedly drugging and molesting Constand in 2004. Authorities

DRAKE
Drake is still enjoying a stel- lar 2016 with a view from the top of the charts. In fact, his fourth studio album Views is on its way to accomplishing some- thing that not many hip-hop artists have achieved on the Bill- board charts.
According to reports, the album has been sitting at the number one spot for nine straight weeks, the third-longest reign for a hip-hop album in the history of the charts.
“Views pulls ahead of Em- inem’s The Marshall Mathers LP (with eight weeks at No. 1) to solely claim the third-most weeks at No. 1 by a hip-hop album,” Billboard writes. “Ahead of Views are Vanilla Ice’s To the Extreme (16 weeks at No. 1 in 1990 and 1991) and MC Hammer’s Please Ham- mer Don’t Hurt ‘Em (21 weeks in 1990).”

been a recent rash of gun vio- lence."
The former couple was re- cently involved in a custody battle over their son, Future. A judge ruled that both Ciara and Future would receive joint custody of their son.
Turk of the group formerly known as the Hot Boyz has announced that he’s burying his hatchet with Birdman and re-joining Cash Money Records. Or, to let him tell it, he never really left the label.
Turk made the announce- ment very casually. In fact, he didn’t even utter any words at all. He let his thumbs do the talking.
After serving nine years in jail, Turk signed with Rap-A- Lot Records in 2012 and then turned around and sued Cash Money for unpaid royalties in 2015. Turk claimed that he was never paid for any of the songs he wrote or co-wrote while signed to the label.
He actually won the lawsuit for $1.3 million when the label
A petition for ABC to drop Jesse Williams from Grey’s Anatomy is circulating. It’s claiming that his BET Awards speech is “racist.”
Apparently Williams’ speech has scared some Grey’s Anatomy viewers to the point that they just can’t stand to watch the show again if Jesse Williams equal rights-de- manding face is on the screen.
A person named Erin Smith has started a petition on Change.org demanding that ABC drop him, saying that the speech “offended” people from all demographics that watch the show. According to Smith:
It is prudent to remind ABC Television that this isn’t a vot- ing contest between those who are seeking to be equal and those who are seeking to openly bash white people as a whole. ABC has a large group of people of many races who are offended by what was said by Jesse Williams and he didn’t even think to come out and dif- fuse the situation by apologiz- ing. Regardless of whether he meant to offend anyone or not, he did. By ABC allowing this to go on, ABC has essentially told black people that white people
failed to respond to the suit, but he later asked that the case be dismissed because he and the label had reached a settle- ment. It appears that this new “official” deal is a part of that settlement.
Juvenile, who also left Cash Money for Rap-A-Lot for the same reasons, re-joined CMR in 2014. The only Hot Boy not signed to the company is B.G. who is currently serving a long prison bid.
Turk released his most re- cent mixtape Get Money, Stay Real in July 2015. In February 2016, he created a GoFundMe page seeking $5 million to help with debts legal costs related to the 2004 cop shooting that sent him to prison for almost a decade.
Jesse Williams gave a speech about equality and justice for all on the BET Awards. Williams is biracial and a leading activist in the ‘Black Lives Matter’ move- ment.
are fair game. The longer that ABC sits on this, the more ag- gressive and hateful the racist narrative becomes from black people toward the white demo- graphic.
If ABC chooses to wait out the storm figuring it will all blow over, you will have many people to answer to if the storm doesn’t blow over and ABC will lose money, because of it. All races against Jesse’s hate speech will be that voice prov- ing racism from any race is wrong.
Beyonce Hints She's Forgiven Jay Z Following Cheating Claims
Bill Cosby’s Lawyers Renew Bid To Force Accuser To Testify
BILL COSBY
reopened the case last year after learning he had acknowledged in a deposition that he had given Constand pills and then engaged in sex acts with her.
They also considered the dozens of other women who have raised similar claims in the decade since Constand went to police in 2005.
Cosby calls their encounter consensual and describes the blue pills he gave her as Be- nadryl. He said he sometimes took the same allergy medicine to help him fall asleep.
BEYONCE
Beyonce dropped a huge hint that all is forgiven with her hubby Jay Z following ongoing cheating claims, as she spoke out about "forgiveness" and "re- demption".
The singer took to the stage at Wembley on Sunday night to perform her controversial Lemonade hits for the scream- ing crowd, and managed to give us all hope things are back on track after all.
The star's album was previ- ously rumoured to be about Jay's alleged cheating - despite neither him nor Bey ever con- firming this - and now the star has appeared to stamp on the rumours once and for all.
As she introduced hit song All Night, which was previously claimed to be about her pain fol- lowing the scandal, Beyonce reportedly told the crowd: "This is my favourite song. It talks about forgiveness, about sweet- ness and redemption.”
The star wowed the crowds at the gig, and pulled out some of her hottest outfits for the sold- out shows over the weekend.
