Beyonce Joined Zay Z  On Stage At Yankee Stadium And Wows The Crowd In Her Gem-Covered Boots. Beyoncé joined husband Jay-Z on stage Sunday night for a trio of performances at Yankee Stadium, and she turned up the nostalgia. Page Six reports…

For her performance, Queen Bey took her look back to her roots, reaching for a pair of heeled booties that looked familiar to die-hard fans. Wearing a pair of crystal covered booty shorts and a Yankees top, Beyoncé slipped into a pair of heeled Jimmy Choo x Timberland boots that were also covered in Swarovski crystals.

Though Beyoncé has left her Manolo Timberlands in her early-aughts archives, she looked to the Jimmy Choo collaboration for a sparkling upgrade in celebration of her husband’s milestone events. And, as New York City was the overarching theme of Jay-Z’s concert series this past weekend — which celebrated his 30-year career and also included surprise performances from Blue Ivy, Rihanna, Teyana Taylor, Usher and more —  it seemed an even more appropriate choice.

Engaged Couple Bungee Jump Off Bridge And Fall 330 Ft To Their Deaths. A young engaged couple tragically lost their lives after plummeting more than 300 feet during what was supposed to be an exhilarating tandem bungee jumping experience, in a devastating and fatal accident.

Bungee jumping is a high-octane activity that draws thrill-seekers worldwide.  It involves participants leaping headfirst from elevated structures such as bridges, skyscrapers and cliffs, secured by a strong elastic cord.

The experience simulates freefall before the elastic cord stretches and softens the descent, propelling the jumper back upward until the momentum fades. Participants are then typically lowered safely to ground level.  For Italian couple Alberto Galletti and Tiziana Accora, however, their bungee jump outside Rome, would end in an utterly catastrophic and fatal tragedy.

Acts Of Regret

Jamie– “When my girlfriend bluntly dumped me for a fellow co-worker, I called the light company pretending to be her brother, told them she was moving out of state, and had her service disconnected. I also had her mail rerouted to an abandoned house.  I felt avenged when I heard, through some snafu, that she had to sit in the dark for three days before her lights got turned back on.”   MORE

The Dating Chronicles

The Wait Game

As Kent mounted the steps to his apartment, he sagged under the weight of the many packages he was carrying.  He had taken the day off and had bought every “electronic toy” that appealed to him.  He was still heady from the night before as he fumbled to open his apartment door. The excitement from the encounter with Gina was still prominent in his mind. He had been thinking about her all day but decided to wait a week to call her. He wanted to build up the excitement and her anticipation level.   MORE

Q. For the last two years, one of my childhood friends has been dating my ex-husband and I’ve been pretending I didn’t care. I still do, but I haven’t told a soul. Now, they are planning to be married and I haven’t been able to eat or sleep since I heard about it. It has disturbed me so, much that I’m thinking about accepting a job out of state. I can’t bear to see him married to her and I would be expected to be at the wedding. What would you do?  MORE

You Know You

Need A Serious

Makeover When…

by Lisa Laird

Pictures don’t lie.  We all know that.  So why then, do we cut ourselves off a group photo or rip into shreds those pictures we see of ourselves that we don’t like – as though somehow the image is discarded with the tiny pieces we toss in the round file?  Everyone SEES that photo of us FROM EVERY ANGLE; in living video and living color every time they look at us!  This is a reality check!   MORE

It’s Over …

The Tell-Tale Signs

by Dani Stone

Candace knew it was over long before Tom said a word.  It was in his eyes when he couldn’t look at her anymore, and in his tone, when her voice was on the other end of the line.  But he couldn’t tell her.  At least…not in words.  He did what all cowards do.  He lied…..avoided her company, and sang the familiar tune of the runaway lover,    MORE

How Fearless Are You?

The Power Of

Confrontation

by Bonita Bennett

We are all afraid of something, but too many of us live our lives with fears that paralyze us and affect our quality of life.  There is the man who is brave enough to go off and fight a war but cannot tell a fellow soldier that he offended him greatly with a remark he made during a card game.  All around me I watch, as people succumb to their fears, give up their self-respect, and walk around in resentment.   MORE
