Beyonce Donates 500K To Chime For Change
Beyonce isn’t just a gorgeous face, amazing entertainer, or poster child for the most sought-after body of all time, she’s totally a humanitarian. Last night, Mrs. Carter visited the Gucci store in NYC to attend the Chime For Change one-year anniversary event where she donated a whopping $500,000 to the charity that was founded by Gucci. Chime For Change promotes “Education. Health. Justice. For every girl. Every woman. Everywhere. Because none of us can move forward if half of us are held back.”
Bey ditched her booty-length braids and debuted a new hairstyle. Blue’s mom looked sexy, yet elegant in a white Gucci jumpsuit with a plunging neckline. Can we say yasss!
Bey has always been an advocate for women’s rights so it makes perfect sense that she’d lend her star power to the Chime For Change organization. According to a press release from Gucci:
Beyoncé committed to donate $500,000 to fund Chime For Change projects for girls and women in the areas of Education, Health and Justice as follows:
EDUCATION: $125,000 to support 100 school girls at Shining Hope for Communities (SHOFCO) schools in Kenya for one year.
· HEALTH: $125,000 to provide 320 Embrace infant warmers to 100 rural health facilities in 11 Millennium Village sites across 10 countries in sub-Saharan Africa (Mali, Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana, Tanzania, Rwanda, Malawi, and Ethiopia). The Embrace infant warmers will help more than 1,900 at-risk newborns survive and thrive.
· JUSTICE: $125,000 to provide 600 Sisters in Strength Youth Leaders and Alumni in New York City with the critical educational and mentoring support, job training, counseling services, and resources they need to successfully navigate and graduate from high school and college through Girls for Gender Equity.
· JUSTICE: $125,000 to provide 25 human trafficking survivors in Los Angeles with counseling, medical care, legal services, and individual recovery treatment to rebuild their lives through the Coalition to Abolish Slavery & Trafficking (CAST).
Bey and Solange were all smiles at the exclusive soirée. Solo even jumped on the turntables to flex her DJ skills. In related news, the “Drunk In Love” singer flashed her summer time fine on the cover of T Magazine.

Remember that little rumor about Jennifer Lopez’s man Casper Smart being gay and all? (We think J. Lo may be the only person who didn’t know he played for the other team.) Well, the transgender woman, Sofie Vissa, who claimed to be having inappropriate interactions with Smart, did an interview with Women’s Day detailing the extent of their “relationship.”
“I sent him like five or six pictures,” Vissa said. “There were a couple of semi-explicit [ones] and then the last one I was completely nude. And he ‘liked’ the post,” she added. “I’d do hashtags on Instagram… to get a lot of followers I’d put #TS or #Shemale or #transgendered on them,” she said in the interview. “I remember I put those hashtags on one of my photos and when I went back to look at my phone I’d got a request from Casper.”
When Vissa asked Smart why he never “liked” any pics on her Instagram account, he responded “Because a lot of people monitor what I like. And I think telling you is better, don’t you?”
Casper later reportedly asked the model, “I wanna see more, what you got?’” To which Vissa replied, “‘What do you wanna see? My smile?’”
J. Lo, come get yo man!
UP NEXT: Mimi Says Stevie’s Sex Wasn’t All That
Sooo…
You know how Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez often brag about Stevie’s sex game? She called it the best she’s ever had.
Well, Mimi Faust is signing a different tune and opened up about their former sex life with the “Love & Hop Hop Atlanta” star. While Stevie is well-endowed, there’s a few things he did in bed that turned her off, for instance, “he’s very vulgar,” Mimi explained. “And to me, for my liking…I know some other women might like this, but he talks too much and it’s too rude in the bedroom,” Mimi explained to Sister2Sister. “Like I don’t like to be called a b*tch, hoe and a slut every time I have sex. I don’t enjoy that type of behavior,” Mimi added. “I can’t.”
Mimi admitted that Stevie is very freaky and threesomes are a very common for him. “I’m gonna say they are both well endowed. I’ve been very fortunate in that department. I’ve been very lucky.”
Mimi also put rumors about her alleged engagement to Nikko to rest. “If I was engaged, I would make a statement publicly about it,” Mimi told S2S. “We’re happy together, but I mean as far as marriage is concerned…I don’t know. We’ll see what happens.”

UP NEXT: Fantasia Bitter Over Antwaun Cook?
Rumor has it, Fantasia is bitter over her failed relationship with ex-Antwaun Cook. In case you don’t remember, Fanny and Antwaun ended their relationship shortly after she gave birth to their son and he went back to his wife. It appears that Fanny hasn’t gotten over their love affair.
“Fantasia just hasn’t really moved on, meanwhile Antwaun totally has. He’s back with his family and wife, has a new job and is happy,” a source told RadarOnline. “Antwaun’s life is all about his boys right now. He loves those kids more than anything, and doesn’t miss the drama with Fantasia,” they said. “If it weren’t for their kid, he’d want nothing to do with her. He’s happy with Paula and what they have going on right now.”
Fantasia’s Instagram tells a different story. Peep her message to the haters:
UP NEXT: Kourtney’s Pregnant & The Kardashian’s Involved In A Scam
Is Kourtney Kardashian pregnant? The rumor mill says yes! The eldest Kardashian is allegedly carrying her third child with Scott Disick. According to USWeekly, “she is only a few months along.” The source also said, the pregnancy was planned because Kourt wants to have a lot of children.
In related Kardashian news, the clan is under fire for an alleged eBay scam. The Kardashian’s received tons of negative feedback from buyers who claim they were shipped “defective” and “stained” merchandise. And in some cases, items were never shipped.
One commenter, who purchased a Balmain hoodie for $305 from Kim K. wrote, “sells men’s clothes women’s and lies about celeb owner. SCAM!! BEWARE!!” And another received Tom Ford glasses stained with makeup and finger prints. The complaints go on from there.
SMH.
The Kardashian’s may need to keep a better eye on their business.
