THE CARTERS RELEASE STATEMENT: Beyonce, Jay Z & Solange Say They Are "Moving Past" Elevator Incident, Love Each Other

As Cartergate 2014 rolls on, Jay Z, Beyonce and Solange Knowles have released a statement about the elevator scandal at the MET Ball afterparty.

 

Check out what the family has to say inside....

On the heels of The Standard Hotel claiming to have fired the employee guilty of leaking the footage of Solange physically attacking Jay Z, the family has released a statement of their own.

As told to the Associated Press exclusively today:

"As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it,"

"The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false," the statement continued. "At the end of the day families have problems and we're no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We've put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same."

They did not go into detail about the reason behind the altercation.  And in true Carter family form, we'll likely never know.  Unless audio from that now infamous elevator ride mysteriously becomes available.

*Twiddles thumbs in anticipation*

Sevyn Streeter was in the do-gooder spirit.  So she surprised a Cleveland teen with a shopping spree for prom and also shocked his peers with a surprise performance at their school. See the priceless look on the young teen’s face and hear new music from Columbus Short when you go inside…

 photo sev2.png

Just in time before the most memorable night in his high school career, R&B songstress Sevyn Streeter surprised a Cleveland high school student with a shopping spree to get him extra dapper for prom.

Unbeknownst to him, the "It Won't Stop" singer walked into Cleveland Heights High School to personally greet him with the good news as he sat in class. Soon as Sevyn walked in, the young man quickly grabbed all of his things so they could make their way to the mall.

Sevyn personally picked out pieces for the teen, took him to get a fresh cut and bought him along for a radio interview. Cute.

After hanging out with the prom winner for a day, Sevyn came back to his high school and shocked all of his peers with a surprise performance. Nice.

Former “Scandal” star Columbus Short went before a judge today (above) and entered a not guilty plea on a felony battery charge after allegedly going straight B-613 style on a man in a bar this past March.

You’ll recall that brawl in L.A. went down after the man allegedly insulted him during a couple’s engagement party. Columbus left the guy with a broken nose and knocked him unconscious for several minutes…supposedly.

The “Got Ya” singer’s attorney tried to fast track the case but since the man’s injuries were so severe, his request was rejected. Had his case been eligible, he could have kept all of the messy details under wraps and settled the case.

Columbus will head back to court on June 5th for the preliminary hearing of his case. And let’s not forget, his wife has filed for divorce and a restraining order against him after he allegedly threatened to kill her and himself. Wonder if this will come into play when he heads back to court.

But, the actor turned singer isn’t letting his recent public drama stop him from pursuing his other passion…music. After releasing his single “Gave Ya,”Columbus is currently working on new material for his new album. We got our hands on a secret recording of a new track, tentatively titled, “Mumble.”

In the raw and uncut recording, the former gladiator is heard freestlying lyrics as he plays the piano to create the new R&B track. No word on where this song will end up on his album or even if it will actually become a song, but it doesn’t sound half bad.

Hear Columbus' "Mumble" below.

Remember 90s R&B singer Shanice and her actor husband Flex Alexander? Well the couple will be returning to the spotlight in an OWN special "Flex & Shanice" chronicling the couple’s financial downfall. Who knew? Get the deets and check out the trailer inside…

Grammy nominated 90s R&B singer Shanice and her husband Flex Alexander were on top of the world at one point in their lives. Shanice was climbing the charts with her hit single “I Love Your Smile” and her husband was the star of a hit scripted series “One on One” (also starring Kyla Pratt). And then it all came tumbling down.

Flex wasn’t booking any gigs and Shanice wasn’t recording any music so they decided to move into a rental home with five other family members, along with their two children (12-year-old Imani and 10-year-old Elijah) to make ends meet. Yes..nine people under one roof, including Shanice’s demanding and controlling mother/manager Crystal

“It’s hard being a broke celebrity,” said Shanice.

We’re sure. And you gotta do what you gotta do.

Now things are starting to look up for the troubled couple with Flex finally getting work and Shanice returning to the studio. The duo seek advice from their celeb friends such as Kym Whitley and Babyface to help figure out their next steps to financial freedom.

Check out the trailer below:

Catch the hour-long special “Flex & Shanice,” premiering Saturday, May 31st at 10 p.m. on OWN.

The pink beauty was SUPER into the game as it was a WIN OR GO HOME situation for L.A.  But despite Ri cheering on Chris Paul and co., they lost to OKC 104-98.

She tweeted pics of her and bestie Melissa riding along with this pink pixie wig on:

She said about her girl Nicki Minaj, "We raided Nicki's wig closet for the summer! Bad gals just wanna have fun!"

Nicki responded with an emphatic, "YASSS bitch yasssssssss!!!!!!!!!"

The "Pour it Up" chick even has matching pink nails.  It could all be for a video or just for fun.  It's no telling when it comes to RiRi.  But either way, she knows how to get some attention...and the look is, dare we say it, kinda cute on her...

Rih may or may not be hitting up the Billboard Music Awards this Sunday, where the 49-time nominee is a finalist in five categories.

COUPLEDOM: Ludacris & Eudoxiee Hit 1Oak + Sherri Shepherd's Ex Husband Calls Her A HORRIBLE Mother, Gunning For Full Custody Of Jeffrey

Sherri Shepherd is getting the business from both ends.  Not only is her soon-to-be ex husband Sal trying to take their unborn baby, but her ex-husband Jeff Tarpley is now gunning for full custody of their son Jeffery!

 

Deets inside, plus Ludacris& Eudoxiee showing that their coupledom is still in tact....

Ludacris & Eudoxiee seem to be still on track in their relationship, despite Luda's 'break baby' and the rumors that he and his girlfriend were actually never on a break.

The twosome live in Miami together in addition to their home in ATL.  But last night, they hit the streets in L.A. after hitting 1Oak:

 photo redwhitestripes2_zps4cf8f54d.jpg photo redwhitestripes1_zps6c75e9a6.jpg

Luda rocked his stripes while Eudoxiee looked gorgeous in a pink and green tropical dress and new hair cut.  Fab.

 

And then there's this:

 photo sherri-shepherd2_zpsc0fbf9b6.jpg

Poor Sherri.  She's having a bad week, while her boss Barbara Walters is having the best week ever.  The news leaked that she filed for divorce from her current husband Lamar Sally (he also filed for separation), and he's now gunning for full custody of their unborn baby.  And today, it's being revealed that her EX husband is gunning for full custody of their son Jeffery.

Why does it seem everybody's trying to take Sherri's kids from her?  Well, if you listen to ex Jeffery Tarpley, it's because she's a "horrible mother" who is neglecting their 9-year-old boy.  Daddy Jeff says his son is only reading on a second grade level, doesn't know how to tie his shoes, and can barely write.

Sherri has spoken many times about their son having developmental delays due to being born several months premature, so it's unclear if that has an effect on Jeffrey's situation, or if Daddy Jeff is taking that into consideration.

According to TMZ's report:

Jeffrey Tarpley -- Sherri's ex-husband -- filed an emergency request in April to modify the couple's current custody arrangement ... specifically, Tarpley wants full physical custody of their son, Jeffrey Jr.

Tarpley claims Sherri's non-stop work schedule -- "The View," "The Newlywed Game," various TV acting roles, book tours, films -- has caused her to neglect their son completely.

Jeffrey claims Sherri regularly leaves their son with "unskilled nannies" ... as a result, he's falling way behind in school, suffers from low self-esteem, and has to use Velcro shoes because he can't tie laces.

It doesn't end there ... Jeffrey says Sherri also hasn't taught their son how to properly care for himself, so hygiene has become an issue.
Jeffrey says he desperately wants to help, but his hands are tied because he lives in California and Sherri lives with their son in Jersey. He says he has no time during his short visits to undo all of Sherri's bad parenting ... so he wants Jeffrey Jr. with him full time.

Jeffery filed the emergency order BEFORE Sal and Sherri filed for divorce and separation, by the way.

Sherri's response?  She called him an absentee dad who doesn't deserve any part of their son's life.

While the emergency request got denied, the two will head to court in July to continue to duke it out.

Mariah Carey kicked off the “TODAY Show’s” Summer Toyota Concert Series this morning in NYC. We’ve got videos of her performances in case you missed them, when you go inside…

As she puts the final touches on her new album, Mariah Carey brought “The Elusive Chanteuse” to the Rockefeller Plaza in NYC this morning.

Glammed up in a black sparkling evening gown and one long-sleeved fingerless glove, you know--her usual--the diva hit the stage perched on a Baby Grand piano for a live outside performance in front of hundreds of her adoring fans.

 photo heartmariah1.jpg

Mimi opened her set with her chart topper “Touch My Body”, then debuted a new track featuring Wale titled “You Don’t Know What To Do” from her upcoming 14th studio album Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse. Wale took the stage with Mimi to perform his verse on the new track.

 photo mimitamron.jpg

The mother-of-twinsies chatted with "TODAY" co-host Tamron Hall about “Dem Babies” and what inspired her new album. 

"The main thing is that they don't let me get enough sleep," she said. "That's the only thing, it's the truth. I would rather stay awake and watch their favorite movie ... and so we have to do that."

The diva closed her set with her throwback classic “Always Be My Baby," which she probably should have rehearsed a bit more. Def needed some work.

Peep the vids:

FOOLISH ACTIVITIES: NFL Player Greg Hardy ARRESTED For Allegedly Beating Up His Girlfriend Over Nelly + Trey Songz FINALLY Speaks On August Alsina “Beef”

Nelly’s name is in the middle of yet another love triangle that escalated to a domestic violence situation between Carolina Panthers baller Greg Hardy and his girlfriend. Plus, Trey Songz finally broke his silence on the August Alsina beef. Get the deets inside…

Lordt…It seems Nelly can’t keep his name out of relationship drama.

Charlotte Panthers defensive lineman Greg Hardy was arrested on Tuesday after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend Nicole Holder (above with Greg) and threatened to kill her. It’s being reported that the two were laying in bed and “he just snapped” suddenly… picking her up and slamming her on a pile of guns. She said her NFL baller boyfriend “threw her around several times” and “beat the (expletive) out of me.”

According to tweets from the Charlotte Observer's sports reporter Joe Person, Greg got upset over his girlfriend’s previous relationship with rapper Nelly. And if you didn’t know…Nelly is a minority owner of Michael Jordan’s Charlotte Bobcats NBA team.

Check the tweets:

 

 

Her short-lived relationship with Nelly took place in March, which is around the same time the “Hot In Herre” rapper was being linked to Ashantiand Tae Heckard. This guy….

The Hardy's girlfriend requested a restraining order, but it was dismissed after she didn’t show up for the hearing. Hmm…wonder if they have kissed and made up already.  Seems to be the usual order of events with atheletes and their chicks....

Greg was arrested and released on a $15,000 bond for assault and a $2,000 bond for threats.  He now has to hand over all of his guns to the authorities. This guy is scheduled to appear before a judge on June 27th. Chile…

And in other news…

 photo treymug.png

Trey Songz is finally speaking on the “beef” between himself and new R&B crooner August Alsina. August made it known a few months ago that he doesn’t “f*ck” with Trey Songz but he never really explained WHY he had a problem with Trigga. He even popped off on "106 & Park" host Keisha Chante after she asked him about his beef with Trey.

Trey has remained mum on the situation, until now…saying,

“August is like a little brother to me. I took him in early on in his career and we had a discrepancy and he didn’t know how to deal with it.”

Trigga said he really cares about August and he didn’t feel the need to speak out against him.

On yesterday, Solange was spotted in New Orleans (where she resides) with her boyfriend Alan Ferguson for her first public appearance since the video of her serving a class-A beat/kick down to her brother-in-law Jay Z leaked. See the cutesy pics of her man comforting her when you go inside…

On the heels of Beyonce, Jay Z and Solangereleasing a joint statement about the elevator showdown, Solo was spotted yesterday for the first time since ElevatorGate.

The statement didn’t go into detail as to why the "Losing You" singer went off the way she did, but they did say all of that is behind them now and are moving forward...together as a family.

 photo nolasola2.jpg

Chilling at a riverfront park near their home in New Orleans, Alan is seen comforting Solo with his arms firmly wrapped around her waist as they enjoyed the scenery around them. The two were probably discussing all the media scrutiny she has gained since the brawl, but it seems all is well in the arms of her man.

Sweet.

 photo soloold1.png

And in another effort to help ease her mind, Solo took to her Facebook page on yesterday to post some “Throwback Thursday” photos of herself when she was a child. She captioned the throwback pic above of she and Bey watching Sisqo play the guitar saying, “#tt The sock [bun]. Best thing since sliced [bread] . (This will be deleted tomorrow, and it's not because I don't love sisqo's awesome guitar)".

Hmm...

If you missed today's episode of "The View", you missed an epic episode.  Check out Oprah Winfrey and more who all saluted Barbara Walters on her retirement and her final day of daily TV....

Since Barbara Walters is a pioneer in the media who knocked down doors for women in news and media (the first woman ever to co-anchor a nightly news program), it's only right almost every iconic (and icons in the making) woman in media showed up on Babs' last day on "The View".

Oprah Winfrey was front and center to congratulate her long time friend in the media and eventually, competitor, for an emotional salute.  And amongst tons of media women who surprised Babs on her last day after 17 years on "The View", YBF ladies Tamron Hall, Gayle King, Deborah Roberts, Robin Roberts, as well as co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd were there to celebrate.  And it was definitely inspirational to see all the girl power from several different backgrounds.

Check out the video below:

 

Also on this episode, Hillary Clinton and more stopped by to surprise Barbara. And yesterday, Star Jones and all 11 co-hosts of "The View" reunited to salute the creator.

 

Congrats to Barbara Walters, one of the most impactful women in the game, on 50 years in media!

SHOTS FIRED: Tyler The Creator SHADES Iggy Azalea On “106 & Park,” Says She STINKS & A Has A Fake Booty

Tyler the Creator threw some major shade at rapper Iggy Azalea during an interview with “106 & Park.” Find out what he said that has Iggy’s panties in a bunch inside…

 

 photo dropiggy3.jpg

Rap group Odd Future hit up BET's “106 & Park” yesterday and during their interview, they were asked to play a game where they had to choose between three female singers that they would marry, kiss or diss.

So the first line up of possible chicks were pop princesses: Rita Ora, Iggy Azalea (above performing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" this week) and M.I.A.

When it was Tyler the Creator’s turn to make his choice, he said,

“I don't want Iggy cause she stink. She got shots in her thump. I want real booty, ya feel me. Aye, y’all agree right?”

Damn!

Then the next line up was of female reality stars: Kim Kardashian, Mimi Faust and Paris Hilton.

Clearly not up-to-date on reality TV chicks, one of the guys asked, “Who is Mimi?” Then another answered…”Hey, wasn’t she born in the 50s?!”

Ha!

Iggy got word of what Tyler said about her and took to her Twitter to respond to his antics tweeting:

Ha! So silly.

In the middle of their San Francisco show (pictured above backstage) at the Fillmore during their No Filter comeback tour, Danity Kane made a big announcement.  This week, rumors spun that Aundrea was leaving the group.  But Aubrey O'Day seemed to squash the rumors by posting rehearsal pics with Aundrea included.

Now, it's all been explained.  Aundrea took the stage last night to reveal she's engaged, and leaving the group to pursue her other dream of having a family. We've learned she'll be staying on the tour to perform the old songs, not the new ones.

She brought her soon-to-be stepdaughter on stage to help her make an announcement.

"It's been two dreams of mine for me to be a singer, and to have a family. And I'm going to have both in a couple months."

She ended by saying she's going to let Shannon, Dawn and Aubrey take over while she goes to have some babies.  Many took that as she's CURRENTLY pregnant, especially with what looks like a protruding baby bump hiding underneath that bustier.  However, a fan site claims she actually isn't, based on her mother denying the rumors.

Check out video of the new DK 3 performing their new songs "Lemonade" and "Rage", and performances--with Aundrea-- of "Damaged" and more:

Just as surprised as her friends--and the viewers--were when Andrea (Drea) Kelly announced she got engaged (then married) to barber Brian McKee back on March 6th, we're all in for another surprise.  They're already divorced! 

 

Peep the juicy reason why inside....

She was married to R.Kelly for ALL THESE YEARS (many of which they were estranged), and chick hops into another marriage at the blink of an eye with a man none of her "on screen friends" had eever met?

Well, that's a recipe for disaster....and disaster has come.

On the season 2 premiere of "Hollywood Exes" a few weeks ago, we all learned Drea Kelly had randomly gotten engaged.  She and Brian McKee (above) got married on May 6th, in case yu missed that memo, but it's already over.

What could have possibly gone wrong with an engagement that happens in less than six months and a marriage that happens soon after?

S2S reports, with Drea confirming, that Brian had an ongoing "inappropriate relationship" with another woman.  And he was asking said woman for money.

Rumors about trouble in their brief marriage started to swirl shortly after season 3 of “Hollywood Exes” premiered. Apparently, women who Brian was currently or had previously dated began sending Drea info about her hubby via social media.

According to text messages, Brian had allegedly hit one woman up asking for financial support, listing his the reasons why he needed money.

“I just got 3000 a month in bills with no job, car pmnt, student loans etc cell,” read the text allegedly sent by Brian.

Jaylynn Umbleby and Drea exchanged Twitter messages on May 12 and Drea thanked Jaylynn for sharing the truth about Brian.

“I read you’re email and I want the world to know I FORGIVE YOU! And you stepped up like a WOMEN,” Drea wrote. “I’M PROUD OF YOU!”

No job and all these bills...and you're asking a woman other than your wife for money?  We're not calling him a con artist but...

Drea RT'd the story and said,"thank u for your support. I'm proud 2b a living example of #girlpower and #forgiveness at its finest XOXO".

Well, we like Drea.  So hopefully she keeps her head up and carries on after all of this....

 

Flashback to Drea and Brian surprising her friends about the engagement on episode 1 of the new season of "Hollywood Exes" that aired this month:

Recently, Solange Knowleswas spotted in New Orleans getting comforted by boyfriendAlan Ferguson.  And that occurred just as that joint statement about Cartergate came out.  Now, Beyonce has popped up in the N.O. right by her sister's side.

 

Check the pic and deets inside...

 

Beyonce posted yet another pic of herself and her sissypoo Solange chillin' in New Orleans.  And she made sure to title it "May 17th, 2014"...to let y'all conspiracy theorists know everything is all good in the Carter camp.  Or something.

After rumors spread that Solange and Beyonce were beefing after that elevator fight between Solo and Jay Z, and it appeared the younger sis had removed almost all pics of her big sister from her Instagram account, folks thought there had been a MAJOR falling out.

So both sisters have been going on IG binges, posting throwback pics with each other.  Clearly attempting to prove they are not at odds like folks think.

But it looks like all is well in Carterland.  At least for now.  And at least based on this pretty cute picture.

A fake star studded movie trailer?  Yeah, it happened.  Go "On The Run" with The Carters inside as they promote their upcoming tour with the help of their Hollywood friends.  Plus, "SNL" spoofs "Elevatorgate"....

 photo article-2631710-1DF644B700000578-327_634x349_zpsbb6f309a.jpg 

Who wants that perfect love story anyway? The Carters have pulled off another big ass surprise.  While Beyonce released a pic of herself recently on a set in a wedding veil on the back of a bike with her husband Jay Z, no one guessed Hollywood's power couple would get Hollywood's A-list on board as well.

 photo ScreenShot2014-05-18at15257AM_zps01bb6cce.png

Directed by Malina Matsoukas (Beyonce's go-to girl who also directed the "Pretty Hurts" vid and more), a brand new "fake" trailer for the upcoming 'On The Run' Tour is some cinematic hotness.  It's called 'Run', it's a collabo project between Beyonce's Parkwood Entertainment and Jay's Roc Nation, and we're loving it.

 photo ScreenShot2014-05-18at20403AM_zpsf40f7579.png

Mr. & Mrs. C tapped Hollywood's finest to pull a cameo in it, and the list reads like the front row of the Oscars & Emmys: Sean Penn, Don Cheadle, Jake Gyllenhaal (this must have been what they were laughing it up about recently courtside at the Nets Game), Blake Lively, Emmy Rossum, Guillermo Dìaz of "Scandal", and Rashida and Kidada Jones (Kidada was also Aaliyah's bestie).

As for the "trailer", we get to see Bey blast some machine guns, the masked bandits going all Bonnie & Clyde robbing banks, Beyonce seducing her man with nothing but a gun and lingerie, and a bedroom scene a la Brad & Angelina's famously sexy 'outlaw' themed magazine spread all set to their song of the same name, "On The Run".  Oh, and Bey and Jay ride out into the sunset as outlaws.

We can see the new conspiracy theory churning now....Did Solange pop off in that elevator because she realized she never got an invite to partake in this?  Silly silly...

Say what you want about those two, but pulling off epic surprises is quickly becoming their fortè.  Check out the full fake trailer above from the COMINGNEVER.COM site.

The "On The Run" stadium tour kicks off June 25th in Miami.

 

BONUS: On Saturday night's season finale of "SNL", all the black castmates pulled off a hilarious spoof of Elevatorgate for the cold open. And Maya Rudolph even returned to play her Beyonce role. Ish was fun-ty. Check it above.

But Zoe kept it all woman though in her black pantsuit, unbuttoning the blouse to reveal a deep plunging neckline:
