The National Enquirer Publishes Photos Of Bobbi Kristina Before She Died
On last Wednesday the Na- tional Enquirer published a photo on its website of Bobbi Kristina Brown lying in a hospital bed. They say it was taken right before she died July 26. The Enquirer claims to have additional photos of Bobbi Kristina that readers can access if they buy the latest issue of the magazine.
This is just the latest on a list of eerily similar things that happened to both Whitney Houston and her daughter. The National Enquirer ran a photo of Houston lying in a coffin at her funeral in 2012 that sparked outrage among her family members and the general public.
And that Enquirer hospital photo may not be the last we see of Brown.

According to TMZ, the show has recruited openly transgen- der model Amiyah Scott, who will be joining other new lady on the block, Kim Fields.

Janelle Monae’s Black Lives Matter Speech Cut Short On ‘Today’ Show
Terrence Howard leaves court on Monday.
A judge said Monday he will take a week to determine whether to set aside Terrence Howard‘s divorce judgment that entitles his ex-wife to a spousal support and a share of his earnings from the hit televi- sion series “Empire.”
Attorneys for Howard and his ex-wife, Michelle Ghent, made closing arguments Mon- day after four days of testimony in the case that featured em- barrassing details about the actor’s sex life and forced him to address accusations of do- mestic violence.
Howard contends Ghent repeatedly threatened to sell or leak personal details, including phone sex calls and a video of him dancing naked in the bath- room, if he didn’t give her a fa- vorable divorce settlement.
The pair was married in Jan- uary 2010, and she filed for di- vorce a year later. A settlement wasn’t signed until September 2012, and it took several more months for a judge to approve their divorce.
On Monday, Ghent’s lawyers played audio of a recording in which Howard was heard professing his love for his ex-wife, despite having only re- cently married another woman. He also threatened to violate a restraining order in the audio.
Howard’s lawyers last week played a recording of Ghent berating the Oscar-nominated actor in September 2011 and re- peatedly threatening to sell em- barrassing information about the actor if he didn’t send her money immediately. Howard paid her $40,000 later that day, which Ghent’s lawyers say was to cover housing ex- penses but the actor described as “blood money.”
Los Angeles Superior Court
Judge Thomas Trent Lewis
acknowledged the messy de- tails of the relationship be- tween Howard and Ghent, telling attorneys it was an emo- tional case and he would issue a ruling at an Aug. 24 hearing.
Janelle Monàe’s new sin- gle is being hailed as the an- them for the Black Lives Matter movement, so when she performed the track on NBC’s “Today” show last Fri- day, fans and advocates ex- pressed their displeasure at the network for cutting Janelle’s speech on police brutality.
Monàe had just finished performing the song and was about to address the themes of the piece when the camera cut away to an anchor who spoke over her.
“Yes Lord! God bless Ameri- ca! God bless all the lost lives to police brutality. We want white America to know that we stand tall today. We want Black America to know we stand tall today. We will not be silenced...” Janelle said to the crowd before the rude inter- ruption.
Janelle Monae performed on the ‘Today’ Show on last Friday.
The show cut to commercial moments after Monàe said “silenced.” To add further in- sult, clips of other musical seg- ments were posted to the “Today” website on Friday, but none of Janelle’s “Hell You Talmbout” performance.
Famed Radio And TV DJ Donnie Simpson Is Back
Donnie Simpson and Traci Braxton team up on air.
Washington D.C. woke up Monday morning to Stevie Wonder playing a surprise gig in the backyard...and the city is driving home with none other than Donnie Simpson riding shotgun.
For the first time in 5 1⁄2 years, the veteran DJ and TV personality is back broadcast- ing in the Washington DC area, taking over the 3–7 p.m. afternoon drive at Majic 102.3. It’s part of his multi-year deal with Radio One, Inc. which also includes a new TV show due this fall for the com- pany’s cable network TV One.
Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” played immediately be- fore his shift began. It was fol- lowed at 3 p.m. sharp by the theme song for TV’s “Welcome Back, Kotter.”
“I’m back, officially. This is the start of ‘next’ for me,” Simpson said, kicking off his first broadcast of The Don- nie Simpson Show.”
He went on to introduce his producer and welcome his co- host, Traci Braxton.
Simpson was also accom- panied in the studio by his wife Pam, his son DJ and his three grandkids. A bevy of celebs called in, including Bell Biv DeVoe, Frankie Beverly, D.C.’s own Stacy Lattisaw, D.C.’s current mayor Muriel Bowser, Traci’s big sis Toni Braxton and producer Terry Lewis, who broke news when he casually mentioned that Janet Jackson’s new album will be released on Oct. 2.
