Scandalicious Update: Papa Knowles & Beyonce & LeToya Luckett
Jun 11 | by Natasha
So after the rumors hit this week about PaPa Knowles stirring up trouble at the BET Awards, we decided to ask our own sources about the alleged scandal and wait for some confirmations. Apparently Mathew Knowles told BET that Beyonce would not perform if they insisted on letting former Destiny's Stepchild LeToya Luckett perform as well. We all see whose name is still on the BET Awards moniker, so it's safe to say LeToya lost this one. We asked our own sources at BET about whether any of this is true, and we got a slew of "No comment"'s. Don't know about y'all but I'm taking this as a yes. Damn shame. Here's a copy of the letter sent out: work for XXXXXXXXXXXX. I just want to share something with you because maybe you can help by spreading the word.
Mathew made a threat against BET to remove Beyonce from the BET Awards line-up if LeToya were to perform on that same stage that same night. It is sad to say but I think XXXX will win over LeToya [Luckett]'s management because Beyonce is a garantee to bring the ratings up for the show. In business we have to deal with shady politics but this is going too far. All I want is both girls to perform. Not just want or the other. I've talked about it to some LeToya fans about it and now they started a petition (http://twitition.com/nufi6) . Even if BET wouldn't bend over (which I doubt) he would get Beyonce out there at the last minute. He's just trying to intimidate BET. Anyway now you know, deal with this info the best way you can.Please don't reveal my indentity or where I work at.
SourceIt's a nasty game that Mathew Knowles like to play.
Harvey Nichols on left, B's hotel on the rightOn another note, Beyonce reportedly had her entire entourage take her 45 feet (directly across from her London hotel) to the Harvey Nichols to shop. They packed up several cars with security and assistants just to go across the street to shop. This wouldn't be news if they were continuing their journey elsewhere. But they went right back tot he hotel afetr the shopping spree. I mean....the street was barricaded and it is hard to walk all the way down the block in 6 inch stilettos. Nevermind...
I used to be a Beyonce fan
I used to be a Beyonce fan but recently...I'm thinking she needs to take a break. That ego song is straight garbage. I can't think highly of someone that has to block another performer from getting their money. Papa Knowles and Beyonce had better watch how they treat people. You know how Karma is....everything that goes up must come back down. Blocking Latoya from performing is stupid. What sense does that make, is Beyonce royalty? I mean her Sasha Fierce album was a complete let down...and that ego song is classless.

People can't differenciate
People can't differenciate between truth and lies especially when someone is as successful as Beyonce. They did this with the Jacksons you see how Michael turned out. They used to say Janet's bleaching her skin, removed a couple ribs, had several different plastic sugery & features. They do it to everyone on top. Yes you can't believe their public personas because we don't know them. But the truth will come out one day and so far every celeb and non celeb that has met her say the same things about her. Mathew on the other hand has never been liked

I try to not believe what I
I try to not believe what I read or hear but the stories I hear regarding her father/manager is crazy. Now why is it he has so much control, and don't he knows, Mr. Knowles what comes around goes around. Why u think only one child is so successful and the another one can't get a break. And remember we don't live forever so I hope he ask God to pray for his cash cow Bey. KARMA not good people! Can't be a surviver if ur doing dishonesty stuff.

It amazes me: I mean people
It amazes me: I mean people expect celebrities to not be normal human beings, you never know WHAT that woman may have been deal with and/or going through, people (not saying you specifically) tend to get so personal and take things to heart…it's amazing to me…I don't get it, why get so upset and insulting about someone you claim to not care about and don't even know? It's just odd you sound just as dumb as her....if you are going thru something....why be in the club????? She wasnt performing or anything. She could have stayed in the privacy of her hotel room and didnt have to worry about anything.

I am not a beyonce fan and I can't stand her family, but all I want to say is when are you b fans gonna stop putting down her dad and blame her as much as u blame him. She is the artist he is the manager/dad, if she really gave two fucks and a damn about n/e one but herself she would step up be human and a friend and say ok enough is enough or ur fired. Artist trumps manager n/e day of the week. b and her family can kick rocks and move to mars. But she is just a responsible as her dad. I mean she is like the only famous person who doesn't have friends and doesn't hang out with n/e one but her fam. Her stans sending me responses in 5...4....3....2.....1

If they had Common outside performing a few years ago at the Pre-show what makes you think Le'toya was really supposed to be a part of the show in the first place? Again, context clues. Think about it.

No offense but who the hell
No offense but who the hell wants to see her perform at the BET Awards? Maybe at the Pre-show but BET wouldn't have her perform at the show. Let's keep it real Letoya has talent but she has a LONG way to go before she's enough of a threat for Matthew to be worried. The reason why Beyonce always stays on top of the rest of these average R&B chicks is because she desires to be more than a video chick with a mediocre voice. No need to hate because her management and team are doing their jobs well. You really think everything is fair in the music biz? This rumor is garbage...

This sounds too true to me.
This sounds too true to me. I'm from houston and it is widely known that the girls were offered a major settlement not to bad mouth Beyonce or Destin'y Child or him...or he would/can sue the hell outta them. I hope they were well compensated for how badly they were treated and kicked out of the group, all because they disagreed with Papa Knowles managing the group. Matthew actually used to give interviews to the local radios stations after the whole breakup thing and say stupid things like (paraphrasing here) "every group has a star and the person that can sing the best" I guess he never heard of Boys II Men or En Vogue. I believe B knoew about it because she has always been controlled by her father, and now that goes control has been passed to her husband. Sasha Fierce and her last album were so overtly hip hop she had to lose a lot of fans. B was not so nasty and tacky as to have songs talking about "My Kitty Kat" and that ish. Fight back Letoya. You are a hometown fav and we want to see you perform!

Again people in here are
Again people in here are arent thinking straight. Did anyone in school learn what a primary or secondary sourc is? If you have forgotten then something is clearly the matter with you and your education. Let's break it down. Primary Source: You hear it straight from someone, not a he, she say document, that we cant even prove was sent by someone real. Anybody could type some words together and put it on their blogs and act like it was a factual letter sent. Ex. Deborah Lee of BET stating "Matthew Knowles kicked Le'toya off the ballot". Did we hear that? NO! Secondary Source: Self explanatory, not a direct source, facts that come from an outside party. ex. Latavia: Letoya told me that Matthew Knowles kicked Beyonce off of the ballot. Do we have that? NO. And even so, secondary sources are always known to be less reliable than a primary source. Some of you need to stop going to the blogs for facts and believing everything you hear. Some people think Wikipedia is a primary source. No. For the media, you need to get up on Broadcasting Cable, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter,Huffington Post, even The Grio. Blogs like this can be fun, but it's seriously ridiculous some of you are reading into sources such as "Destiny's Child Rumours". Its sad.

DUH! true bey wasnt sucessfull back in the day but now she at the top…. call it what u want but its true. and to the haters the truth hurts, i like ciara and rihanna , and keri hilson i like them all but go across the world to japan or europe etc… and who would u buy a cd and i promise Beyonce name will get the most votes….. like i said the person with more sucess get more hate. Have you gone across the world to see who likes who. The first thing you stans say is don't click on the link. Its called freedom. When you pay for my internet service then you have a say. You seem to forget there were others before Beyonce and there are millions of people who don't care for her music. You have the right to like her music and that's fine,but when others criticize her it's hate get a grip. You give Ciara and Keri backhanded comments by saying go across seas and see whose name they say. Keri and Ciara maynot be as rich as Beyonce but guess what they have a fan base. Everybody starts somewhere and just like I said Beyonce had to climb her way to the top. Duh and it took years for her to be what she is now.

Curtis: ^^^You are right,
Curtis: ^^^You are right, still I wanted to give some balance. It's funny, someone(Danette) said that if this was anyone else getting negativity, it would be ok by Bey fans and no one would be defending them. I will not speak for them, but I speak for me, I don't go in threads of entertainers I am not a fan of and two, when that whole Rihanna thing went down with the pics, I was mad at this blog and other blogs for posting the pics. It was wrong. Especially since she didn't leak them. I am happy when black females shine in the industry and know how hard it is for them to do such even if I am not a fan. I just wish that most of had the same view, if people knew how the industry works, they would be more appreciative of what every artist/entertainer/performer has to go through, especially black female one. Sorry for the long post. I know,you are stating facts but they are blind.i MENTION THIS GIRLS BECAUSE THEY R THE FEW WHO GET PUBLICTY WITH BEY NAME.I CANT MENTION CHRISETTE,AMERIE,ETC

Market Report: Diageo rises on talk of deal with tequila maker
Wednesday 16 May 2012
It's been a while since City traders have had an excuse to crack open the tequila. But yesterday that all changed. Well, almost. Not because there's a reason to be cheerful about the markets – far from it, it was a particularly nervy day after Monday's falls, with a sudden sell-off after lunch requiring some fancy footwork by the Square Mile's practitioners. No, it was about Diageo, which was said to be close to knocking back a stake in Jose Cuervo, a $3bn (£1.9bn) business which, as any hellraiser will tell you, is the world's biggest tequila brand.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Financial stocks slid back into the red Tuesday, weighed down by asset managers and real estate investment trusts following a downgrade of Spanish banks and uncertainty surrounding the expansion of the European Financial Stability Facility.
The Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF XLF, +0.00% which tracks financial stocks in the S&P 500 SPX, +0.00% closed down 0.1% in recent activity. Banks, however, were a bright spot as the SPDR KBW Bank ETF KBE, +0.36% finished up 0.8%.
Back to 1987
for stocks?
Our Trading Deck has been home to a spirited debate over whether we're in for a crash.
• L.A. Little: Don't worry | Michael Gayed: Worry
• The warning signs of a 1987-style crash
• Hulbert: Stocks as overvalued as at 2007 high
By the close, lawmakers in Slovakia, one of the euro zone's poorest members, had still not voted on whether to expand the European Financial Stability Facility. Following the close, the parliament reportedly had rejected the plan.
In other European developments, S&P downgraded Banco Santander S.A.'s long-term debt rating to AA- from AA and the ratings of 14 other Spanish banks because of the country's slowing economy and depressed real-estate market. Read more on Spanish bank downgrade.
Closer to home, bank regulators introduced draft language of the Volcker Rule — which had been leaked last week — designed to limit speculative proprietary trades at big banks. Read more on the Volcker Rule.
Shares of Franklin Resources Inc. BEN, -0.75% led the decline in asset managers, closing down 2.9% at $97.85, off their low of $94.83 for the session. Late Monday, Franklin reported that assets under management fell 8% in September and were down 10% for the quarter.
Analysts at Sandler O'Neill called the results "a disappointing month all around' but kept a buy rating on Franklin while trimming earnings and price targets.

Clare Calvet's Book of the Week: Darkness On the Edge of Town - Book Review
Darkness On the Edge of Town
by Jessie Cole
Jessie Cole lives in Northern NSW with her two sons and a menagerie of animals.Her debut novel is a tour de force, and yes.the title is from a Bruce Springsteen album in the late 1970's. A haunting tale set in a rural NSW town.
At almost 40 years of age Vincent leads a simple life as an orchard worker in a small country town. His 16 year old daughter Gemma is an old head on young shoulders. After a young troubled woman crashes her car outside Vincent and Gemma's home their lives are changed irrevocably by the woman's past and circumstances. In small towns word travels fast and everyone has an opinion on Vince's new houseguest. Powerful, gripping, unputdownable and raw this book is disturbing at times and the content confronting. Cole is a new voice in Australian fiction. I would be very surprised if she is not shortlisted or a winner of future literary award.

Steve Meertens, digital manager for Fairfax Media in the Waikato region, has accepted a challenge to complete the Avantidrome REV Cycle Festival's 100 kilometre race. As he counts down to the event at the end of this month, he is writing weekly about going from novice road cyclist to taking on one of the most popular and toughest annual cycling events in the Waikato.
Well in about 24 hours from you reading this I will be competing in the Avantidrome REV Cycle Festival 100km race.
I rode the course last week with about 12 hardy souls and the emotions I experienced over those four hours were incredible. It was a mixture of trepidation as we started out at 7am and then nerves started to creep in as the rest of the group were eagerly discussing how the massive French Pass climb was just up the road from the start.
In normal exercise terms you would describe French Pass as a gutbuster - i.e. for all those armchair athletes it is something really, really, really difficult. Basically I'm surprised this stretch of road didn't win the award for NZ's steepest street. The climb up was about 15 minutes of sheer confusion for my body. I was gasping for breath but determined that I would not fall over at the first hurdle.
The rest of the group were pretty handy riders and they gradually left me for dead - I felt like Tom Hanks in Castaway, except I had no Wilson to talk to.
Eventually, however, I reached the summit - that is the best way to describe it - and the ensuing view was worth every drop of sweat to get there. Hobbiton and the beautiful rolling hills of the Waikato stretched out in front of me. Now I know how Frodo felt as he was returning home to the Shire - it was an awesome view.
Over the next couple of hours we proceeded to roll across the countryside through incredible cycling terrain. It was hard work and I really had to focus on my game plan and to take on board the advice I had been given. Scott Raynes of Avantiplus Cycology, who was riding with me, was an immense help and we broke into a group of four riders.
I have never been the biggest advocate for nutrition but I was amazed at how my body responded to all the sugary supplements that I was regularly taking. As the ride wore on I could feel my energy levels drop like a fast moving fuel gauge so I would take on some electrolytes and I would feel better fairly quickly. It was a good lesson for the REV tomorrow so I will make sure I have plenty of fuel with me for the ride.
By the end of the ride and coming through Scotsman Valley I really was struggling. My back was aching and my legs were screaming but I just put my head down and kept going. By the end of the ride I was absolutely exhausted but really proud that we had worked as a group and finished the course. I am going to take that feeling with me on my ride on Saturday as motivation to try and complete the course in under four hours, which is my goal.
To all those not sure about entering, you can still enter in person at registration today between 6-7pm at the Avantidrome and on Saturday morning from 7am at Cambridge High School.
It's going to be a great day and I'm looking forward to letting you all know how I get on next week.

By Jim Wolf
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has cleared the way for wider adoption of in-flight Internet services, aiming to cut by as much as 50 percent the time needed for regulatory approval.
Newly adopted rules should boost competition in this part of the U.S. mobile telecommunications market and promote "the widespread availability of Internet access to aircraft passengers," the FCC said in a statement Friday.
Since 2001, the commission has cleared companies on an ad hoc basis to market in-flight broadband services via a satellite antenna fixed to an aircraft's exterior.
Under a newly adopted framework, the licensing procedures will be simpler, the commission said.
Airlines will be able to test systems that meet the commission's standards, establish that they do not interfere with aircraft systems and then get approval of the Federal Aviation Administration, the FCC statement said.
The FAA, a Labor Department arm responsible for operating the nation's air traffic control system, said in response that the FCC's effort to establish standards "will help to streamline the process" for airlines to install Internet hookups on planes.
The goal is to speed the processing of applications by up to 50 percent, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said in a separate statement.
The FCC drive to promote broadband aboard planes does not change a ban on the in-flight use of cell phones, which is tied to concerns about interference with ground stations.
Genachowski earlier this month urged the Federal Aviation Administration to allow more electronics on aircraft.
The FAA announced in August that it was forming a government-industry group to study aircraft operators' policies to determine when portable electronic devices may be used safely during flight.

Zara use Hermes as their delivery agent. (a company I have had trouble with in the past including being at home all day and a card being put through the door saying no one was at home.. we have a very loud door bell!!!) There is no way you can contact Hermes if there is a problem with the delivery or you want to make a change to the delivery arrangements. You have to go back to Zara. I have tried phoning Zara 3 times and their telephone number just asks you to call later yet they advertise on the web that the number is from 07:30 and it is now 08:45.
I will not be shopping online with Zara gain, primarily because hey use Hermes (nicked named by my neighbour Herpes)

Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens and director Ben Bolt film a scene in Bampton
/ News
A DEVELOPER previously denied permission to build 127 homes in the village where ITV period drama Downton Abbey films outdoor scenes has returned with a new planning application.
Gladman Homes has submitted plans to West Oxfordshire District Council for 116 homes in Aston Road, Bampton.
The move comes as it prepares to fight the district council in an appeal over the original proposal, rejected in January due to concerns over flood risk and its closeness to the conservation area.
The council has also since then approved 160 homes in New Road, despite an opposition petition signed by 330 residents and 100 letters of objection.
Resident Lesley Campbell, of the Save Bampton's Future campaign, said the new proposal was no different.
She said: "It's an almost identical application. Most people think it's the same application so wonder whether there's any point in responding.
"There's been no significant change in circumstances in Bampton, and if anything West Oxfordshire has improved its five-year land supply by approving the 160 houses in New Road.
"Flooding is a major issue and it's not a sustainable proposal on any front."
In a planning statement, Gladman said it would use a sustainable urban drainage sytem (SUDS) to prevent flooding.

Pioneer Park thrives through summer
A lot of hard work has gone into Seymour's oldest cemetery.JOCK MARSHALL March 19, 2014 4:03am
After surviving the hottest, longest, driest summer on record I believe we all deserve a pat on the back for rejuvenating the Pioneer Park and cemetery.
The trees which were well on their way to oblivion are now thriving, the grass is green and the birds are singing. Special thanks must go to a number of people who have contributed their time and expertise to achieving this result. especially Ray Crawley who has spent days in 40°C heat repairing the watering system at no cost to the Friends of Pioneer Park apart from parts and repairs to the control box.
Every week sees small changes to the park through the work of committee members and dedicated Friends of the Pioneer Park.
Many people who work in town have discovered the serenity of the park and it is becoming a popular spot to enjoy lunch, fresh air and a break from the working day.
We can now work towards more planning of improvements to the layout and planting of the gardens. We need to set some goals for 2014 and generate a bit of a cash flow; we have the barbecue at Bunnings Craigieburn in May and June and will try to get some more donations coming in.
The Friends of Pioneer Park Committee has been in operation for six months and we feel it is time to report back to the community. We have a general meeting planned for Wednesday, March 26 at the Uniting Church Hall in Crawford St at 6
SP AusNet removed and cut up trees and overhanging branches and in turn gave us three truckloads of mulch that our next working bee can spread out. We need to lay out mulch on garden beds and will require trailers to move it around the park. Wheelbarrows, rakes, spades and garden forks will be the order of the day. Even an hour of your time will be a great help. Following the working bee we plan to hold a sausage sizzle to allow everyone to meet each other. We will supply sausages, bread, onions and tomato sauce, tea and coffee. Come and meet your fellow residents and see what has been achieved so far.
In conclusion, we have turned around the park and can continue our efforts to return it to its original glory.
I get plenty of feedback from residents who are returning to the park to enjoy the tranquillity and beauty it provides. Well done to all who have helped.
Any queries, phone Jock Marshall on 5792

A few Black Caps regulars might be holding their breath for the annual contract announcement in the wake of some skittery efforts at the Champions Trophy.
Instead of celebrating victory, the New Zealand players were holed up in their central Cardiff hotel early this morning with destiny out of their hands and fingernails being gnawed. After a 10-run loss to England, they needed Australia to upset Sri Lanka, which would book Brendon McCullum's side a daunting semifinal against India.
Semifinals or not, a few members of this 15-man squad have a bit to think about as selector/coach Mike Hesson compiles his 20-strong New Zealand Cricket contract list to be released next month.
Squad members James Franklin, Grant Elliott, Luke Ronchi, Colin Munro and Ian Butler will all be casting anxious glances, while big-hitting all-rounder Corey Anderson looks poised to be the big winner after his surprising, but composed, ODI debut in Cardiff.
Of those not in the ODI squad, Tom Latham, Mark Gillespie and injured pair Andrew Ellis and Bruce Martin also sit on the cusp of the top-20 who receive annual retainers which kick in on August 1.
Franklin is always on the borderline, and two out of the past three years he's narrowly missed the cut. He's a trusted senior member of the squad and close to McCullum, but his credit is running out after some meagre contributions.
Yesterday summed up Franklin's lacklustre recent efforts when he dropped a catch, then had Alastair Cook dropped twice and went for 10-an-over with the ball. Batsmen target him now. He then nicked out for six when playing inside out. Hesson will stare hard at Franklin's name and might consider whether it's time to move on, particularly with Anderson now offering a similar role.
Elliott was first choice in the first ODI but Daniel Vettori's welcome recovery then his tournament-ending calf injury left his future uncertain.
His consistent cameos with the bat and the memory of his excellent South African series might be enough.
Munro and Butler would both have been miffed at being passed over for Anderson yesterday after the latter replaced Elliott in the official squad. Munro's only innings was a first-ball duck at Trent Bridge, while Butler always seems to be the unlucky one and deserved at least one appearance in England.
Gloveman Ronchi is an interesting case but shouldn't be cast aside.
The experiment to open with him backfired and he had a wretched 12-ball stay yesterday with James Anderson and Stuart Broad nipping and swerving the ball about.
His glovework has been sound and he can tear attacks apart, but down in the middle order. In hindsight, Hamish Rutherford or BJ Watling may have been better for the opener's spot, with McCullum now anchored in the middle order.
The captain has led brilliantly in the field but had a poor tour with the bat, poles apart from his memorable home summer. Yesterday's innings summed it up when he scored eight off 17 balls then holed out as New Zealand slumped to 48-4.
New Zealand missed the boat early on when they dropped four catches; three by Nathan McCullum and one by Franklin, which enabled Cook (64 off 47 balls) to open the shoulders. Nathan McCullum then held four more catches as Kyle Mills (4-30), Mitchell McClenaghan (3-36) and Vettori (1-27) continued their excellent form to haul it back.
Then New Zealand weren't up to it against the new ball, Kane Williamson aside who batted magnificently for 67 off 54 with backup from Anderson.
Captain McCullum said the top order collapse was massive in deciding the result after an excellent recovery with the ball. It summed up the cut-throat nature of the Champions Trophy, which was seemingly New Zealand's favourite format.
"It was always going to be a tough competition but after scrambling across the line in that first game [against Sri Lanka] we had ourselves well placed in the remaining two games to make the semi-finals.
"Against Australia we'll never know what would have happened in that run chase. We may have been confident but who knows what would have unfolded.
"Today we had an opportunity and we missed it again. To review the three games; we've bowled brilliantly, we've fielded OK and our batting needs some work."
