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.

Single Sketches

From The Locker Room …

Brie: “From now on, I will go after what I want and stop waiting on my prince to ride up and swish me away.  If I see a guy I like, I will make the choice. Women must become more aggressive in the match game.”  Stephanie: “If I can’t capture a man’s heart, I’m not settling anymore for his libido.  Some of us get tired of what appears to be a fruitless search and opt for the church to replace the longing.  Others stay active in the “game” and catch as catch can.  We hang tough with “shells” of what we’re looking for and work off our disappointments. “ MORE

8 Things That Keep

You Interesting…

by Kayna Kenall

• A sincere desire to please others. A faked, hypocritical interest in others, on the other hand, sounds insincere.
• A good sense of humor. This quality is a saving grace in any conversation, and people who can laugh at themselves without putting themselves down are real winners.
• An imagination that can bring life to the dullest of topics.
• Self-restraint. A good conversationalist refrains from beginning all conversations with “I”.  A good conversationalist initiates topics by turning interest toward the others present.
• A good self-image combined with appropriate humility… He or she plays down rather than broadcasts his or her expertise in certain fields, thus allowing others to discover it by themselves.   MORE

After A Great

First Date

by Lisa Cregier

Wonder what he’s thinking?  Don’t worry about it. The average guy’s mind is like the tide when it comes to his feelings…Sometimes they come and go.  So, never assume you really know him.  Trust your instincts for the truth and take what he says with a grain of salt until he proves otherwise. Don’t cling to his every word like it’s a life raft.    MORE
