20 year-old London Eley was arrested last Friday for trying to solicit a murder on Facebook. Eley posted, “I will pay somebody a stack to kill my baby father” and 18 year-old Timothy Bynum was one of the first people to reply.
The hit was never carried out, but police believe the plot was more than just idle talk. When officers arrested Bynum on Friday, they found a loaded .22 caliber handgun in his apartment, with the serial number partially obliterated.
“We believe there was a real potential for him to carry it out,” said Lt. John Walker of the Southwest Detective Division. “He had the means to make it happen.” [ READ MORE HERE ]
According to Philadelphia Inquirer, Bynum is charged with attempted murder, conspiracy, and related offenses and Eley was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Damn shame.
With a new album on the way, Beyonce has announced to ELLE magazine that she will be releasing a new fragrance called Pulse. In an interview with the fashion publication, the 29 year-old international star shared how the new citrus scent “is about finding that inner power” of strength and confidence among other things:
ELLE: Your first fragrance, Heat, was a huge success. Did you feel any pressure following that up?
Beyonce: I didn’t. The success of Heat was amazing, but why not represent a different side of a woman? Pulse represents the woman I am on stage. When I think about excitement, it makes me think about my heart racing and a pulsating beat —it’s my stage persona. Heat represents my sensual side, it’s very spicy and Southern. Heat Rush is more about the woman I am on my off time, when I’m on vacation.
ELLE: You’ve been performing your whole life. Does your heart really still race when you get on stage?
Beyonce: Performing at the Billboard Music Awards and on the Oprah farewell show made me so nervous! My heart was pounding out of my chest. But it’s amazing how that nervousness never goes away—it’s my natural response to something exciting and fresh and inspiring. It’s just like when you’re in a relationship. It’s not good when your pulse stops racing. That means you’ve got to spice it up.
ELLE: Why an upside down bottle?
Beyonce: I wanted something modern that incorporated fashion into the overall design, so my stage costumes inspired the upside down chrome cap of the bottle. Continue
