‘Ant-Man’ Star Jonathan Majors Arrested In NYC Over Domestic Dispute. Jonathan Majors, known for his most recent roles in “Creed III” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” was arrested in New York City on Saturday after an alleged domestic dispute. A spokesperson for the NYPD confirmed the arrest in a statement to UPI and said that Majors, 33, has been charged with strangulation, assault, and harassment. Officers with the NYPD were called to an apartment near W. 22nd Street and 8th Avenue in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan around 11:14 a.m.
“A preliminary investigation determined that a 33-year-old male was involved in a domestic dispute with a 30-year-old female,” police said in the statement, without identifying the female victim. “The victim informed police she was assaulted. Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident.” Police said that the victim had minor injuries to her head and neck and was taken to an area hospital in stable condition. “He’s done nothing wrong,” a representative for Majors told TMZ. “We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.”
Cops Called To Rihanna’s Home After Man Shows Up To Propose. Cops were reportedly called to Rihanna’s home after a man tried to sneak onto the singer’s property to ask for her hand in marriage. A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to Page Six on Thursday that the man was arrested at her Beverly Hills address around 12:30 p.m. for trespassing. The man traveled all the way from South Carolina to propose to the R&B star before his plans were squashed by her security detail, per TMZ. Rihanna’s team called the police right away and the man, who was dressed in a bright red hoodie and sweatpants, was escorted out in handcuffs.
However, since the unnamed man did not get farther than Rihanna’s driveway, 
he was simply questioned and later released. It’s unknown if Rihanna, who is pregnant with her and A$AP Rocky’s second child, was home at the time of the disturbance. This isn’t the first time the singer has had to deal with unwanted visitors showing up at her doorstep. Back in 2018, a man named Eduardo Leon was arrested after he allegedly broke into the Grammy winner’s Hollywood Hills home and waited there for over 12 hours. Thankfully, Rihanna was out of town at the time and her assistant eventually discovered Leon hiding out.

Inside Drama Dating

I have yet to meet a guy who had a real clue as to why he really did what he did, and the effect his actions have on others. In the romance arena, a man’s mind, ways, and actions have always been a painful enigma to the unsuspecting females who want so hard to believe that true love has finally arrived when this guy with potential shows up. In spite of what happened the last time the hallway to our hearts was entered under vague intentions, we are always (with few exceptions) ready to embark once again on the “love boat” in hopes that this “ride” will be our last.

When I saw my best friend slip my fiance a note at a party one night from across the room, my stomach jumped in anger. But I rationalized that it had something to do with surprising me for my upcoming birthday. I was turning the big 30, and I guessed that my friends were all conspiring to throw me a birthday party. I watched as he put it in his jacket pocket and gave her a big grin. MORE

I was sitting in a sea of traffic because of a horrible accident that had the expressway looking like a huge parking lot. My day had not gone well, and I was on my way home from work. I had been fired from my job due to a serious personality conflict with my boss, and I was beyond blue…I was purple. It was a hot summer day and my air conditioning wasn’t working. Therefore, I was literally hanging out of the window of my car, when I heard a deep male voice say, “Hi Beautiful!” MORE

The 8 Guys 
Women Avoid Most …
by Cheryl Lakes
Tommy Tone Deaf – Tommy is basically looking for a listener. He spends all your time together bragging, complaining, and opinionating. 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 boring to be with. Result: You know everything you need to know about him, and he knows nothing about you. MORE

Q. I recently went on vacation with a group of couples who were all friends, and we had a lovely time until the last night there. One of my friends became ill with an upset stomach and went to bed early. Several hours later, at 2:00 in the morning, I got mad at my boyfriend and went down to walk on the beach and ran into one of my friends kissing the boyfriend of the girl who had gotten sick earlier. They didn’t see me, but I want to tell my friend. I don’t wish to hurt her, but I’m in agony over this situation. What would you do? She really likes this guy and trusts him. MORE

This Year?
Maria: “I got off drugs, turned my life around, and began spending my spare time getting high off teaching senior citizens, who had never learned to read.” Shari: “I got engaged to a guy who had broken my heart when I was a freshman in college years ago. I had never stopped loving him, and when he came back into my life, I was thrilled. His re-appearance coincided with a severe bout of loneliness and I was easily taken in. But when I saw that he was not sincere, and still the boy he used to be, I dropped him. I was so proud of myself because I had never exhibited that kind of strength before.” MORE

Women Who Share
Their Man Tell Why…
by Coco Diong
Sometimes I wonder if monogamy is still the pinnacle of a relationship. According to surveys, yes, but it seems that more women are growing more frustrated than ever in their search for a man of their own and many are opting to compete for the affection of those who are already connected to someone else. I talked to several women who are and have been involved more than once with men who are very open and candid about their relationships with other women. All were educated, career-minded, in some cases regretful, and never married. MORE
