Rihanna Takes Her Family Out To Dine With Billionaire BF

Rihanna Out With Billionaire BF and Her Family:  After two years together,  RihRih is happily loving it up with Hassan Jameel still! And it looks like the couple has her family’s approval. BOSSIP reports…Just this week, Rihanna, her billionaire boyfriend Jameel, Rih’s mom Monica Braithwaite and one of the singer/Fenty designer’s brothers were spied dining at the new Mason restaurant in Santa Monica. The dinner went down Tuesday, according to E! News reports. The 31-year-old Bajan entertainer and entrepreneur was witnessed outside the restaurant wearing a beige dress with a thigh high slit, complemented with strappy stiletto sandals. And it seems that it’s not just Rihanna’s family who approve. In June, ELLE published a photo of the couple cuddling in the Amalfi Coast while lunching with a group believed to be HIS family!

The photo agency who took the snap revealed the couple took a boat ride and had lunch at Lo Scoglio in Nerano with the group. Rihanna and the 30-year-old vice chairman of his family-owned conglomerate, Abdul Latif Jameel, have been linked since June 2017 when they were photographed kissing in Spain, but some reports say the couple have been dating as early as January 2017. Rihanna relocated to London earlier this year which some folks have speculated may have been in order to be closer to Jameel, although her Fenty line is designed in France and manufactured in Italy.  So, it also is a logical business move. Speaking of business, Jameel’s family business owns exclusive Toyota distribution rights in Saudi Arabia, the family owns their own pro soccer league and the family fortune is estimated to be around $1.5 billion

R. Kelly Is In More Trouble: BOSSIP reports exclusively…The U.S. Attorney’s Office revealed that it has R. Kelly’s drugstore and urgent care receipts – bolstering its allegation that the disgraced singer exposed his alleged victims to an STD. In an Aug. 15 letter to Kelly’s lawyers, Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Geddes said her office had Kelly’s health and medical records from Walgreens, University Health Systems and Urgent Care, adding weight to the claim that Kelly had knowingly infected at least one woman with the herpes virus. Kelly’s lawyers have denied that he gave the alleged victim the incurable illness, and contended that the government has “zero evidence” that he did.  Besides Kelly’s medical information, Geddes said the government had receipts for hotel stays, Ubers, bank records for both Kelly and his employees and airline receipts for Kelly and his alleged victims that prove he transported them from state to state. 

The government also said it served search warrants on Apple Inc. and AT&T for Kelly’s records, and reserved its right to seize emails that the “Pied Piper” sent from federal lockup, according to the letter, which was obtained by BOSSIP.  The feds allege that for more than 20 years, Kelly was the head of a criminal enterprise that funneled school girls from around the country to him to be sexually assaulted.   Besides racketeering, Kelly was indicted on charges of violating the Mann Act, kidnapping and forced labor.  Kelly pled not guilty to the charges last month, but the judge in the case ordered him held without bail out of fear that he might try to bribe or intimidate witnesses.

Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay Confesses To Sleeping With Two Guys In The Fantasy Suite:  A few weeks before her wedding, Rachel Lindsay just revealed that her soon-to-be-husband isn’t the only one she slept with during the fantasy suite dates.  Even though she was lucky enough to find love with chiropractor Bryan Abasolo in 2017 on her season of The Bachelorette, it seems like she didn’t know Bryan was the one until after she felt things out with the final three. The 34-year-old appeared on Access’ Gold Cart Confessions with Scott Evans this week, where she gave some insight into her time on the show.  She revealed for the first time that she slept with two out of the three contestants that made it to the Fantasy Suite dates. Even though Lindsay did confirm that was her first night sleeping with her fiance Bryan, she didn’t reveal who the other guy was, but the way she cried over her break-up with Peter Kraus, we’re guessing it was him.  We\re wondering why is she telling that now…a few weeks before the wedding?

Move To Name Street After Barack Obama Where Trump Tower Is In New York:  President Trump could end up living on Barack H. Obama Ave. after he leaves office.  A MoveOn petition to rename the stretch of Fifth Ave. in front of Trump Tower to Barack H. Obama Ave. has gathered more than 140,000 signatures by this week. The petition originally stated it would be delivered to Mayor de Blasio once the number reached 125,000, but that’s since been amended to a “new goal” of 150,000. “We request the stretch of Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets be renamed ‘President Barack H. Obama Avenue.’ Any addresses on that stretch of Fifth Avenue should be changed accordingly,” reads the online petition.  It notes that in May, Los Angeles named a stretch of highway after former President Obama, whom the petition credits for “saving our nation from the Great Recession; serving two completely scandal-free terms in office; and taking out Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind September 11th, which killed over 3,000 New Yorkers.”

SingleScenes

Q.  I am currently dating a woman who works with me.  I really like her and enjoy being with her.  But, there is also another woman at work I’ve always admired, but never approached.  Recently, at an office party, she slipped me a note expressing her interest and her phone number.  I am stumped as to what to do, because this woman is exciting to say the least.  But I don’t want to hurt the feelings of the other woman.  I am excited about the note and the potential of an encounter with this woman.  What should I do?  I certainly cannot date two women in the same office.  And if I go out with this woman, the other woman is sure to find out and I don’t want to destroy what we have.

The Sighting

Shay rushed blindly into the crowd, tears streaming heavily down her face.  She had just witnessed her boyfriend coming out of a hotel holding the hand of the most gorgeous girl, while kissing her lightly as he flagged a cab.   Her thoughts ran wildly for some explanation.  How could he…why would he…after confessing his love for her.   She stumbled through the door of her apartment and fell across the bed.  She lay there softly whimpering as tidal waves of self-pity swept over her.    MORE

Point Of View:

From Rut To Strut

The Big Bounce Back
by Jamie Betts

 I remember vividly the day I moved from one emotional place to another, and it happened all inside my head.  It was on a Friday and as usual, I was driving home from work.  As I rode along in the quiet sanctum of my car, I began to reflect on the years before I got married, and I was reminded of a time when I felt much better than I did at that moment.

The  8 Guys

Women Run From…

by Cheryl Lakes

Tommy Tone Deaf – Tommy is basically looking for a listener. He spends all your time together bragging, complaining and opinion-spewing. He does not hear or listen because he’s not really interested in your thoughts or views.  He is usually very attractive, (which can stimulate the interest factor for at least three dates) but a bore to be with.  Result: You know everything you need to know about him, and he knows nothing about you.     MORE

36 Ways To Fall in Love…Again

Love is more than a feeling; it’s a choice.

by Melanie Curtin

Relationships are hard. They can bring out the best in us, yes, but also the worst. They test the very essence of our beings: our capacity for forgiveness; our ability to trust (both ourselves and another); the true extent of our self-love; the strength of our boundaries; and the power of attachment.     MORE

Rejection:  The Ultimate Insult

by Cheryl Lakes

When my best friend’s boyfriend of four years, whom she thought would eventually propose, suddenly stopped calling, answering his phone and showing up, she almost lost her mind.  When she finally cornered him face to face at his job after three weeks of ghosting her, he told her he’d been depressed about family matters and just wanted some time to be alone.  Two weeks later, he married another woman in another state.  As of this writing, she is still taking Valium to sleep at night and drinking a fifth of vodka every day on the weekends.   When I watch ABC’s “The Bachelor”  on television, my mind is simply blown at the confusing egos of the women who gather together to compete for one average looking guy, and then end up crying later in the show, when they are not chosen to be the one.  MORE

The No. I Beauty Secret

Few Women Know…

by Gloria Gibson

I have two friends.  One is very pretty and one is not.  The one who is very pretty does not know the secret.  The one who is not so pretty…does.  We’ll call them Jane and Jeanie for purposes of illustration.   Jane is the pretty one.  My brother refers to her as “fine!”  When she enters a room, the men immediately gravitate in her direction.  Behind her back, women silently envy her looks, which are by most standards…very striking.      MORE
