Today is the 3 year anniversary of my Uncle Tommy's passing and one of my favorite memories with him is talking to him about The Hills.
He thought it was ridiculous LC wore he couture gown in Paris when she wasn't supposed to and burned it on the iron.

Since 2015, Jay and Beyonc have been heavily promoting their own streaming service and have offered special exclusives via TIDAL.
Janet Jackson Separates from Billionaire Husband
 |
| thesun.co.uk |
The pair tied the knot in 2012 and announced it to the public a year later.
This is the 3rd marriage for Jackson.
Rumors are swirling that Al Mana was too controlling over the relationship and didn't like when Janet, Miss Jackson if you're nasty, wore too little during her performances and wanted her to tone down her typical sexual dance moves.
41 year old Al Mana reportedly was the one who wanted Jackson 51, to be more reclusive and wanted the family to live under strict rules while in London while Jackson was nursing their son.
The "last straw" according to Page Six "was her husband’s reluctance to show concern for Katherine Jackson’s elder abuse claims against her nephew Trent."
TMZ is reporting that the timing of the marriage may have prenup implications.
Both Janet and Wissam Al Mana are wealthy, but he far more than she. He has an estimated net worth of $1 billion. She's worth an estimated $175 mil.
Janet, who had a prenup with husband #2 Rene Elizondo, almost certainly had a prenup with Al Mana. Such prenups are typically structured -- so the longer the marriage, the bigger the settlement.
Prenups typically have 5 and 10 year marks, which trigger more money in the pot to be divided. Janet announced in February, 2013 that she had gotten married a year earlier. Given the date of her reported separation from Al Mana, it seems to be almost exactly at the 5 year mark of marriage.
The couple just had a baby in January, which may also have prenup implications.

As you've probably already heard by now, Pepsi has pulled their controversial ad starring Kendall Jenner.
The softdrink company released a statement:
@BerniceKing We at Pepsi believe in the legacy of Dr. King & meant absolutely no disrespect to him & others who fight for justice. pic.twitter.com/rM8W8i0Euu— Pepsi™ (@pepsi) April 5, 2017
People magazine is reporting Kendall is "not happy" after the ad and, rightfully so, laying low with her family.

New Pepsi Ad Featuring Kendall Jenner Sparks Outrage
 |
| complex.com |
The internet is in an uproar after Pepsi debuted their latest commercial starring Kendall Jenner. In the ad, Kendall is modeling (per usual) in what looks like a high-fashion editorial donning a blonde wig. When she sees some sort of demonstration happening near by, she takes the wig off and joins the crowd into what looks like some kind of love march, that kind of resembles the Black Lives Matter movement.
Then, with cops standing guard, she hands one of the stone-faced officers a Pepsi...he cracks it open and cracks a smile and the world is one.
Many are upset at the ad because Kendall's handing of the soda resembles last year's powerful photo of Ieshia Evans, a demonstrator during the Baton Rouge rallies last summer following the officer-involved deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling.
In the YouTube description for the commercial, titled Live for Now Moments Anthem, Pepsi says it's a
short film about the moments when we decide to let go, choose to act, follow our passion and nothing
holds us back. It features Lions by Skip Marley.
Many people took to Twitter ripping the ad and the soft drink company saying the company is trying to make money off of a legitimate movement.

Could you be any more blatant with the disrespect and appropriation of a movement, @pepsi? Is this a sick joke?! pic.twitter.com/8NS8ynJUdj— Taryn Finley (@_TARYNitUP) April 4, 2017

Only Beyonce would MAKE money off of her anniversary gift to JayZ.
Beyonce dropped new song Die with You along with a touching video exclusively on Tidal on the couple's 9 year wedding anniversary.
The Carters tied the knot in a secret ceremony back in 2008 and now 9 years later have a beautiful 5 year old daughter and twins on the way!

On Beyonce's website she uploaded some photos from the family's trip to the Grand Canyon for last year's anniversary, which was just weeks before Lemonade dropped.
Like most Beyhive members, we're all still healing from Lemonade and the ill feelings we have towards Jay.
Is our Queen giving us permission to like him again?
Bey, I need answers!

Throwback Monday
After spending the weekend in for my first ever visit to Disneyworld, I'm still feeling the Disney magic and am so happy Beauty & the Beast is making an epic comeback.
So, for those who don't know....Celine and Peabo were the originals to sing the classic song as a duet back in the day. No shade to Ariana and John Legend, because their version is great too.
