THIS WEEK

Raye Breaks Silence On Michael B. Jordan Dating Rumors After Six Flags Outing. Raye is clearing up speculation about her relationship with Michael B. Jordan after the pair sparked dating rumors with a recent outing.

The 28-year-old singer and the 39-year-old actor were spotted visiting Six Flags together last month, prompting questions about whether their friendship had turned romantic. But Raye made it clear that fans should not read too much into the amusement park trip. “No, we’re just friends who like roller coasters,” she told ‘ExtraTV’ at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards this week.

There is, however, another reason the two have been spending time together. Raye confirmed that she and Jordan are collaborating on an upcoming project. “I’m technically not allowed to talk about it because I might get in trouble,” the Grammy winner said. The mystery project offers a more straightforward explanation for their recent time together, even if Raye’s comments are likely to generate even more curiosity about what the pair have planned. While she shut down the Jordan romance speculation, Raye has been unusually open about where she currently stands when it comes to love. Last month, Raye revealed that she intends to call her next album ‘And Then She Fell in Love,’ but joked that she is “on strike from making an album until I fall in love.”

The Dating Chronicles

The Visit

Sarah had heard it.  But she didn’t want to.  She had entered the room silently to surprise her fiance Todd for his birthday and he was on the phone.  He had been in the hospital a week now with a broken hip, and she had charmed the nurses into letting her come in to decorate his room before visiting hours.  It was like her to always be stretching her day to do something that she thought would please him.  They had been engaged for two months and the wedding was only three weeks away.  MORE

The Classy Thing To Do…

by Sierra Silverspoon

Never tell someone something said about him/her that was unflattering, degrading, or maligning, and put it under the banner of friendship or truth-telling. A bad report should never be reported.  After an arranged blind date didn’t work for a cousin,  her “best” friend informed her that the guy said she was “too overweight.”   MORE

Q. My ex-boyfriend is trying to come back after a heart-breaking incident that left me scarred for life. Two years ago, he claimed he was going to a family reunion in Hawaii and went on his honeymoon instead. Later, I found out he married a girl who worked in his office. I felt hatred for him, which consumed me until I began going to church. Now, he’s divorced, “repentant” and confessing his love for me. He’s bombarding me with talk of marriage and “making it up” to me. l still love him. I know I must forgive him, but do you think I’d be stupid to trust him again? I haven’t told a soul about his reappearance, because I’m afraid of what others will say. What do you say?. MORE

Just Who Is

Your Type?

by Jovan Tahale

When my friend first pointed Don out and told me she wanted me to meet him, I balked.  I could tell long distance that he was not my type.  He was too tall for me and I could hear his laughter from across the room.  He seemed boisterous and I preferred guys who were low-key with a cool exterior.  “He’s not my type!”  I told her dismissively.  “What about the guy standing next to him on the right?”  I asked with a wink.  He was more my type. He was lean, the right height and I liked the way he was dressed. “He’s married and he’s a jerk!” She said laughing. “Come on,” she insisted, “you’ll love Don.” Remember, smart women, don’t judge books by their covers.  MORE

How Healthy Are You

On A Scale of 1-10?

by Candace Jensen, M.D.

A close friend had been living with severe abdominal pain for months and refused to go to the doctor.  Her biggest excuse was that doctors were just out to rip you off and that they created strange diagnoses just to make the hospitals richer.  When she collapsed at work in severe pain and was rushed to the hospital, it turned out that she had gallstones and needed emergency surgery right away.  MORE
