Ashley Sawyer Dead At The Age Of 23

‘Catfish’ star Ashley Sawyer, has died at 23, according to People Magazine. The lonely in love woman died over the weekend and no cause of death has been disclosed.

“MTV is deeply saddened to learn that Ashley Sawyer has passed away,” the network says in a statement to PEOPLE. “Our condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.”

Catfish host Max Joseph tweeted he was “shocked and saddened” by her death.”

Sawyer appeared on the show in 2013, meeting Michael Fortunato after the pair had struck up an online relationship. When they met in real life the show, they both realized they had been using altered images of themselves, but decided there was a genuine connection there despite the initial deception.

Race Matters: Black Patients Are Less Likely To Receive Lung Cancer Surgery If They Live In Segregated Communities

Black Patients Are Less Likely To Receive Lung Cancer Surgery

A new study found that African Americans in Georgia who lived racially segregated communities were much less likely to receive potentially life-saving lung cancer surgery than people who lived in areas that were the least segregated by race according to CNBC reports:

The study found that black patients who lived in the most segregated neighborhoods were 65 percent less likely to receive non–small cell lung cancer surgery than people in the least segregated areas.

Blacks in the second-most segregated neighborhoods were 63 percent less likely to get that surgery, according to the study, published in Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

NSCLC is the most common form of lung cancer by far, and can sometimes be cured if diagnosed in the early stage, and if a patient undergoes surgery. At least half of patients who undergo surgery for NSCLC survive more than five years, but most patients who don’t get the surgery died within a year, the study noted.

The same research also found that the likelihood of whites getting the cancer surgery was not affected by whether they lived in an area that was largely black, but it was significantly affected by the general level of education in the neighborhood.

Teen Dies After Shooting Himself In The Head While Taking A Selfie With A Gun

Not again!

Per CNN:

A teenage boy in India has died after accidentally shooting himself in the head while taking a selfie.

Fifteen-year-old Ramandeep Singh was posing with his father’s .32 caliber pistol on Friday evening when he accidentally pulled the trigger, according Manoj Kumar, Deputy Superintendent of Police in Pathankot, Punjab state. The safety catch wasn’t on, police said. Singh was taken to hospital where he underwent surgery but died of his injuries on Sunday afternoon

Statistics released earlier this year put India top of the list for selfie-related deaths. Of 49 fatalities over three years worldwide, India accounted for 19 — nearly 40% of the global total.

Con Ed Rescinds Woman’s Job Offer After Finding Bare-Breasted Picture On Her Instagram

Scrub your social media accounts clean before applying for a job. Because even your tweets about your fondness for having your salad tossed or posting an “artsy” nudes may cost later on.

Via Daily News:

A Long Island woman lost out of a cushy $70,000/year job after Con Edison went three years deep into her Instagram and found a picture of the woman getting her nipples sucked. Now she’s suing.

Samantha Chirichella, 26, of West Islip said she was ready to start a $70,000 a year job as a staff investigator in Con Ed’s Legal Services department until a background check turned up a picture of her baring a breast for an art exhibit.

Chirichella says in papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court that the picture, posted three years ago, is art, not porn, and Con Ed is really rescinding its offer because of her “sexual orientation.”

The photo shows a mirror image of a nude woman nibbling at an aroused naked breast. It was shown in a gallery as part of a larger art show that featured the photography of a Chirichella friend.

The suit charges that Con Ed discriminated against Chirichella for her sexual orientation because on Instagram in the comment section, another friend asked Chirichella about the photo and if she was a lesbian. Chirichella indicated she was.

We are reviewing the matter now,” a Con Ed spokesman said Monday night.

Do YOU think they rescinded the job offer because of the boobs or was it really because of her sexual orientation?

Mama Knew Best: Afeni Shakur Took Care Of All Of Tupac’s Music And Financial Legacy Before Her Passing

WENN TUPAC SHAKUR WITH HIS MOTHER AFENI SHAKUR

Afeni Shakur Took Care Of All Of Tupac’s Musical Legacy Before Passing

Afeni Shakur made sure to take meticulous care of her son’s vast musical legacy before her tragic passing. According to TMZ, Tupac’s mother did right behind him her entire life.

Afeni had set up a trust to control all of Tupac’s music rights, and a rep for his estate tells us the paperwork is flawless. She also named the perfect executor, Tom Whalley — former head of Warner Bros. Records — to handle Tupac’s valuable catalog.

We’re told the trust is very specific about heirs, and the money is going to select charities and family. Afeni is survived by her sister, Gloria, and a daughter, Sekyiwa Shakur … Tupac’s half sister.

Her estranged husband, Gust Davis, is not mentioned in the trust — so Tupac’s money and music will be virtually untouchable in that divorce.

Interestingly, Tupac’s mother was repped by attorney Howard King, who also worked with Prince years ago. He says Prince hated dealing with paperwork and rarely listened to advisors, but Afeni was the exact opposite — which is why there shouldn’t be any legal battles over Tupac’s fortune.

Florida Man Arrested For Murdering Woman And Having Sex With Corpse

The NYDailyNews is reporting that there is still plenty of f***ery going on in Florida just in case you were wondering…

The Florida man accused of a woman’s brutal murder was let out of jail 23 days beforehand when prosecutors failed to promptly charge him for a home break-in.

Timothy Johnson, a 25-year-old from New Port Richey, is accused of killing Judith Therianos in March and then having sex with her corpse.

Therianos, 52, was reported missing and her body was later found near a highway in early April.

Sex. With. Her. Corpse.

It is thought that Johnson met Therianos, a mother-of-three who was visiting from Maine and working temporary jobs in the area, at a liquor store on March 13.

Police said that the pair then went and had sex in a field when she asked him to stop and he began choking and beating her to death.

He is accused of taking her debit card, getting food and buying beer before returning and desecrating her body, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Sigh. Florida, you never fail to leave us depressed and questioning humanity.

Can He Talk His Ish? Jay Z’s Next Album Will Tell His Side Of Matrimony-dom Troubles With Beysus

US Weekly printed a How She Saved Her Marriage Beyonce Jay Z issue, post Lemonade

Jay Z Working On New Music About Marriage Problems Spelled Out On Beyoncé’s “Lemonade”

Adding new fuel to the theory that Bey and Jay are now milking speculation about their marital issues for album sales is a new report that hubby Hov will follow suit and release a project with lyrics offering up his side of things…

An insider reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly that the rap icon, 46, is recording music that offers his version of events in regards to his once rocky matrimony-dom with Beyoncé.

“Jay is working on an album telling his side of things,” explains a source close to the couple.

Bey shocked the world with the release of her “Lemonade” visual project, thanks in part to some thinly veiled poetry as well as song lyrics like, “boy bye,” “try this ish again, you gon’ lose your wife” and “better call Becky with the good hair.”

Some insist the film is not autobiographical. “People want to make it about her,” her dad and former manager, Mathew Knowles, tells Us. “Maybe she dug deep and made it about something we all could relate to.” But insiders say the “Sorry” singer’s words speak her truth. “The album says it all,” notes a source close to the couple. “It explains how she and Jay got through their problems. The good outweighed the bad, so she gave him a second chance.”

Insiders say the parents of 4-year-old Blue Ivy nearly split in 2014 after the infamous Elevatorgate incident. In May 2014, TMZ leaked footage of Beyoncé’s sister, Solange Knowles, attacking Jay Z in an NYC elevator at a Met Gala afterparty. At the time, sources told Us, Solange flipped because the rapper had been flirting with one of his alleged conquests, designer Rachel Roy. (She has denied any wrongdoing.)

The Ivy Park clothing company cofounder contemplated divorce at the time, according to an insider. But now the pair are “better than ever,” says the source close to the couple.

We’re not at all surprised by this, after all, don’t y’all remember when these two were supposed to be working on a joint album? We wouldn’t be shocked if Hov drops his half of the story this Summer…

Sit down haters!

Tayja Jones Prom Photos

A Pennsylvania teen went viral this week after she proudly posted pictures from her high school prom and got blasted.

Tayja Jones, 17, took to Facebook to post a photo of herself leaving for prom in a sparkly black and pink gown.

Later she returned to see that her page had been flooded with negative comments about her appearance.
FOX 29 reports:

A local teen couldn’t wait for prom night. She had the perfect dress; however, when she posted the pictures the haters came out.

After a magical prom night some comments on social media had one Pottsgrove High School junior wishing she never went. Those comments may have ruined the night, but thankfully, others are chiming in to save the day.

When she got home she posted a beautiful picture of herself.

“I made a status when I came home from the prom that night and it said I enjoyed myself and I’m happy. I had fun.”

The next morning her friends called to say the picture had gone viral. But not for the reason Tayja thought.

“There were just like so many rude remarks and negative comments about how I looked. People I didn’t know just like that dress is not for her, she looks like a fat something,” Tayja recalls.

Most of the comments are so demeaning they’re hard to read. Tayja updated her status to say she shouldn’t have gone to prom or posted the picture.

“It was just really hurtful because I was so confident the day before and it just changed my view of myself,” she said.

But as the negative comments spread, others began to stand with Tayja.

People nationwide are now changing their statuses to #TeamTayja and offering words of encouragement to the teen.

Most recently Kelly Rowland chimed in and left a sweet message for Tayja.

50 Cent Issues Apology To Family Of Autistic Teen

50 Cent really ain’t isht! According to WLWTV reports:

While in Cincinnati over the weekend for a liquor promotion, 50 Cent posted an expletive-laced video to Twitter, accusing Farrell, a janitor at CVG, of being high while at work.

“This new generation is crazy. It’s crazy,” 50 Cent said in a selfie video. The rapper then turned the camera on Farrell, who was pushing a cart through the airport terminal. “Look at him. What kind of [expletive] do you think he took before coming to work today? He high as a [expletive] right here in the airport. His pupils dilated and everything. …”

Farrell was not on drugs. The teen’s father, Kent Farrell, said his son has a disability and suffers from social anxiety. The family said they were livid and demanded an apology from the rapper.

50 cent has now apologized to Andrew Farrell and his family, after receiving backlash on social media from an IG vidro he recorded of himself bullying the Autistic airport worker while he was just doing his job.

“While the incident at the airport resulted from an unfortunate misunderstanding, please accept my sincere apologies for offending you. It was certainly not my intent to insult you and I wish you and your family well.”

‘No Seafood’ Monyetta Shaw Admits To Threesomes With Her Ex Ne-Yo But Says THIS Never Happened…

Monyetta Shaw On Bossip’s Don’t Be Scared Podcast

On the latest episode of “Don’t Be Scared”  David, Danni, Jah and Janee chat with author Monyetta Shaw to discuss her new book.

Inside the tome Monyetta admits to previously compromising her values while in her long term relationship with singer Ne-Yo. According to Monyetta she did it because she “loves hard” and she “went hard” for the father of her two kids.

I love hard and I went hard for my man, no question and I feel like I did those things at the time because I felt it was necessary and I was in love. If you would’ve told me that we weren’t gonna be together I would’ve told you that you were a damn lie. I knew that he had my heart and I had his heart no matter what.

Screen Shot 2016-05-04 at 9.38.39 AM

She also spoke on the concept of “hall passes” after admitting in the book that she gave her ex permission to cheat as long as he used protection:

Absolutely not. Girl, run! Don’t do it! […] He has such an amazing heart, he’s such a good person he really is. He was my best friend, it was straight up ride or die. I just saw my family breaking up—I don’t know that world, my parents have been together 44 years. So I’m like, what do I need to do? What is it? I know this is your problem so here, this is what you gotta do thinking he’ll get over it. […] Even though I’m dying inside.

20:50
biggerthanme

On regretting having threesomes:

You’re in a relationship, you know your partner, I wasn’t a prude. I went hard for my relationship, it kinda happened and that’s what it was. The reason why I thought it was important to put it in there [the book] just when my daughter gets old enough to read it, or my son, it’s necessary [in the book] because whatever you do—you ain’t gon’ keep him. Maddie, don’t do it girl. If it’s not what you want…at the time it was what I wanted, I’m not proud of it and I wouldn’t recommend it if it’s not part of your lifestyle. […] I’ve never tasted the seafood, let’s be clear. […] I have no desire to taste the seafood.

37:10

As previously reported she’s also none too pleased with people constantly pitting her against her exe’s new wife Crystal Renay.

Let me say this, it’s good to see that I have support but to trash another woman, that’s not cool. It’s not what I want. Let’s just say the internet has no chill, social media has no chill and they’re definitely going to voice their opinions. I’m not everybody’s cup of tea clearly and she’s not, he likes what he likes obviously and he don’t care. That’s whats’s up. Even when I first started dating him it wasn’t all peachy for me. […]

When I first started dating him people started putting me with people I never even met before, I think it just comes with the territory. And then just stepping into his life at the time she kind caught it bad because everybody thought we were going to get back together—hell, I know I did. That’s why, it’s not really good but it comes with the territory. To even be in a relationship with a celebrity you have to have thick skin.
