CIARA DENIES BREAK UP RUMORS WITH BABY DADDY FUTURE

Rumors of Ciara and fiancé Future calling it quits are nothing new. In fact, urban blogs have been reporting this for well over a month now. However, it took a nationally syndicated magazine like US Weekly co-signing the story to get it on the front page of sites like Yahoo and even CNN.

The story becoming national news quickly galvanized Ciara, who up until this point had made no public comments about the rumor.

However, just a few moments ago, Ciara broke her silence, taking to her Twitter account to flat out call US Weekly liars.

According to CiCi, she gave the magazine’s beauty department an interview in conjunction with Degree and MTV’s House of Style, which they then manipulated in order to create a story.

Below are Ciara’s tweets, including the first which she eventually deleted and then later clarified.

FYI, when will people realize US Weekly is no better than the National Enquirer? They are not a reputable magazine. They’re the white printed version of Media Takeout.

“Think Like a Man” actress Meagan Good is the latest sista to take to social media to dispel rumors of skin bleaching.

The 33-year old California native hit up Instagram over the weekend, posting an image of herself as a toddler, along with a few choice words for those who dare to question her love of self.

Acknowledging the stupidity of the rumor, Meagan says she still felt compelled to speak up, noting her large following of young female fans who may inadvertently misconstrue her silence as an admission.

Below is Meagan’s full quote, as well as cutie-patootie pic of her taken at 8 months.

I can’t believe I’m actually going to address this nonsense lol … Buuuut I have young women who follow me – so I think its important to give clarity because I believe that black and every other color is beautiful .. This is for those who believe that I would actually bleach my face and entire body to try to be lighter skin ???? smh …. Umm ???? No Ma’am ?. First off? I LOVE my complexion- no matter what side of the spectrum I’m at at any particular time… My skin looks various different ways for various reasons – from lighting to makeup ..style of photography or something as simple as weather and what coast on working on at any given time…?? This is my complexion-the one I was born with… I tend to get lighter and darker depending upon how much sun I do or don’t get. I looove the sun ???? I’m a Cali gal, but as I’ve gotten older and especially more recently, since I’ve gotten into my 30s, I tend not to be in the sun as much because it ages your skin terribly ????. Simply put -i’m opting to preserve my skin by protecting it and only making exceptions for vacations ????… Also for the rest of the people who feel as though my blonde hair is yet another way to look more caucasian ????????? “”GET. YO. LIFE. “”…. I went blonde for the same reason I went purple …and for the same reason I’ll probably go Green at some point ..because I felt like it. Once again , I acknowledge I really shouldn’t have taken the time to respond to this foolishness, but I felt moved to say something for every little brown girl that follows my page …I’m proud to be me brown or tan, thick or thin, natural hair or weave or dyed purple or green. Godbless ????. ..

SAD NEWS ...COMEDIAN ROBIN WILLIAMS DEAD COMMITS SUICIDE

Beloved comic Robin Williams has committed suicide.

The comedian killed himself in Tiburon, in Northern California. 

According to the Marin County Sheriff's Office ... authorities found William's body inside his home.  They say he was found unresponsive.

President Obama has led the tributes to Robin Williams after the comic was found dead aged 63 from an apparent suicide, police in California said on Monday night.

President Obama offered up a touching tribute to the Oscar winner, praising his versatility as an actor.

'Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien - but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit.

As recently as this past July, Williams would reconnect with the 12-step program he's so often championed, this time during a brief stay at a Minnesota facility. 

Robin's last tweet was on July 31 ... wishing his daughter Zelda Rae a happy 25th birthday. He posted a #tbt instagram pic of himself holding her as a child.
