‘ROUND UP: BEYONCE & JAY-Z MAKE GUINNESS BOOK / GABRIELLE UNION TO LAUNCH PLUS-SIZE LINE / T.I. CALLED BACK TO COURT

September 17th, 2010

Singer/actress Beyoncé Knowles and her husband, rapper Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter have been named the year’s biggest “Biggest Power Couple” in the 2011 Guinness Book of World Records, based on their combined income of $122 milion through June 2009.

Among those listed in the book are Michael Jackson – for breaking the record for the “Most Searched-For Male” on the internet following his death and Tiger Woods – for bringing in $103 million and becoming the “Most Powerful Sports Star”.

GABRIELLE UNION SET TO LAUNCH PLUS-SIZE CLOTHING LINE

Actress Gabrielle Union announced that she will be launching her very own clothing line called Love & Blessings by Gabrielle. Union decided to cater her line to plus-size women after realizing how difficult it was for her sister to find fitting and flattering clothing. In an interview with AOL’s Blackvoices.com, Union also added:

“My sister is very plus-size and curvy,” Union told Black Voices. “As with many black women, we have a harder time finding clothes to complement our curves, so I want to make clothes for women at any and all sizes that look absolutely great on them.” [ SOURCE ]

She hopes to launch her line in the summer of 2011 on the Home Shopping Network (HSN).

T.I. ORDERED BACK TO COURT

Rapper/actor Clifford “T.I.” Harris has been summoned back to court in regards to his arrest earlier this month. U.S. District Judge Charles Pannell Jr. – the same judge who sentenced him to jail in 2009 – ordered him back to court for three probation violations: possession of ecstasy, testing positive for opiates and associating with a convicted felon.

No word on an actual hearing date. [ SOURCE ]

    Smh @ TIP…. How he workd so hard to maintain and actually had a positive image when he was released… Now even I, that adores him, think he just may be a stupid, drughead. Stop committing crime! With all the money in the world.. u gotta obey the laws of the land, esp when you got a big ass spotlight following your every move.

    Gotta be more careful. Feel dumb, so u won’t do it again.

    Wow @ Jay and Bey… Congratz…

    And @ Gabby… Be sure to make the fashion fly and fancy huh….

    NOTE:

    They should’ve thrown his wife in jail a long time ago for looking that busted.

    Cheers to Bey and Jay…and even Tiger and I’ve never been interested in celebrity clothing but Gabby I find to be very relationable. Can she make some for skinny girls, we need luv too.

    That is a damn lie. Last I heard, JayZ was under investigation from the FBI for illegalities with money earned and owing back taxes. This is a cover up to make him seem bigger, richer and more powerful than he really is as well as Beyonce who is being sued left and right for shady business. They are both just together as a business arrangement for money. I doubt Jay and Beyonce are making more than Angelina & Brad.

    Gabrielle Union just had no more options. She can not find work as an actress bc she CAN’T ACT so she is now venturing out into fashion, which I doubt she will be doing anything but just pasting her name on all of it like Diddy & Jlo. Her stuff will go right to Forman Mills & Conway like House of Diahrrea, BabyFat, JWho.re’s crap.

    TI is a joke. He is loving this back and forth with the court and jail bc he believes it is making him seem more masculine and like a thug which he desperately needs for credibility to sell wack rap records. This is all a front to glorify him and to make him seem more “hood & gangster” which he isn’t. Damn femme.

    glad that gabby union is doing a plu sized line. im small but have friends that only can shop at few places because of size like lany bryant, ashley, etc they dont have many options. so this is great and the fact that many americans are overweight she made a good business decision

    You can lead the horse to the well, but you can’t force it to drink. I think that is the case with plenty of people who commit ninnified acts, similar to TI. He really painted the “I’m going to change for the better” very well, prior to going to jail. What was the saying…”You can take the person out of the hood, but you can never take the hood out of the person.” Hood mentality; why? The funny thing, he has the gift-of-the-gab to lyrical play with words, upon receiving a microphone in his hand. What is wrong with these celebrities? Once they become idle minded all hell breaks loose. If he was forced to go out and work a 9-5 job and have to worry about how he is going to feed his ever growing family, he wouldn’t concern himself with chasing after the “next high” or following after the crowd who mis-leads him. Help dem fadda, for deh know not what they do.

    ALL THOSE DRUGS T.I. IS DOING, THEY NEED TO GIVE HIS CHILDREN BLOOD TESTS. TINY PROBALY WAS DOING IT ALSO. BETCHA THOSE KIDS HAD SHAKES LIKE A MOFO WHEN THEY WERE BORN. MAJORITY OF CELEBRITIES DOES DRUGS, SO IT SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN SO SURPRISING. AS FOR GABBY, WHAT WORLD IS SHE LIVING IN? OF COURSE BLACK WOMEN CAN FIND CLOTHING. IF SOME OF THEIR BLACK ARZES WEREN’T SO DAYUM FAT, IT WOULDN’T BE A PROBLEM. DON’T CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROBLEM GAB BY MAKING BIGGER CLOTHES. TRY AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH DIET SOLUTIONS. BEY AND JAY Z SHOULD BE A POWER COUPLE. THEY’RE SELFISH AS HELL, ESPECIALLY BEY. I HAVE NEVA HEARD THAT GIRL GIVING TO ANY CHARATIES OR DOING A CHARITY BENEFIT.

    Bey gives to charities all the time. She doesn’t have to be in the spotlight helping people. She gives behind the scenes. All hail the king and the queen! Queen Bee is the best! Now the haters can see her name in the guinness book! Take that!

    Ti, Ti, Ti, what’s wrong, told you the first time always assume someone might be listening or watching no matter where you are, in todays high technology (electronic survelliace, tracking devices etc.), you don’t have to be a criminal or have a criminal record either, Big brother is watching. Make no mistake, you are on the Feds radar (they work with the local police deptments too) , they on you, and they are relentless, waiting for you to f*ck up, and they’ll be on ya like flies on sh*t. So, you know what that means, that means you got to walk the straight and narrow, no joke.

    This T.I hip hop music news story is very sad as he has only just been released from serving his previous prison sentence and he appeared to be getting back on his feet again with a number one US Box Office movie with Takers and his new album King Uncaged set to be released at the end of the year and now he could be sent back to prison and will have to rebuild his life all over again. T.I rap songs and T.I`s music videos are some of the hottest rap & hip hop music videos around and he really is one of the hottest rap music artists out there but he also has to learn that he is not above the law too. Hopefully he will mature soon grow up quickly and realise that as a father and a role model he has a reponsibilty to act in a more responsible way.
