Solange Knowles Ferguson Fabulously Celebrates New Year’s Eve In The Desert With Husband Alan & Friends
Solange Knowles never disappoints with vacay pics or pics from big events, like her epic wedding. She brings effortless style to any occasion, and her and Alan’s New Year’s Eve glamping vacay was no exception. Check out the newlyweds ringing in the New Year with friends in a California desert inside…
In Joshua Tree National Park in San Bernardino County, California, Solange and Alan made their glamping (glam camping) vacay with The Shelter Co. look like a print ad straight out of an American Eagle, Gap or Urban Outfitters catalog. And we love it!

Woman Leaves Cheating Husband, Twin Sister Nαked In Busy Parking Lot
December 22, 2014
If you want to cheat, don’t drive with your secret lover to a parking lot. At least that’s what was confirmed when a woman, Ting Su, caught her husband cheating on her with her twin sister in a shopping mall parking lot.
Su had suspected that her husband was cheating on her but didn’t have proof of it, so she decided to follow her husband’s car just to confirm if something was about to happen. She could’ve easily assumed that there was nothing going on when her husband’s car headed to a shopping mall’s parking lot, but she got closer just to confirm that nothing was really happening.
As the saying goes “curiosity kills the cat,” and now she’s heartbroken. Su ran into her husband “getting busy” her twin sister. Oh, my! When the husband got notice that his wife was right there watching him make out with his sister-in-law, he quickly got out the car as if to explain himself. Quickly, Su’s twin sister also got out of the car, unsure of what to do.
Instead of causing a scene, Su decided to quit the scene. She quickly jumped behind the wheel, took control of the car, and sped off, leaving two naked adults totally oblivious of what to do. The husband tried to bang one of the car windows to stop her, but alas, she still sped away.
In a matter of seconds, a crowd had gathered at the scene, many of them pulling out their mobile phones from their pockets and handbags to capture the shameful cheaters. And within a matter of few minutes, the news had spread all over the world.

Janet Jackson And Billionaire Husband Make 2nd Rare Public Appearance Since Marriage
December 22, 2014
Reported byAnggi Budi Kurniawan
We might not see Janet Jackson appear in many music events like before, but it doesn’t mean she isn’t doing well for herself. She now lives in Dubai with her billionaire Qatari husband Wissam al-Mana after they married in 2012. These days, she seems to devote herself to many social-humanitarian activities, including overseas activities as a UNICEF ambassador.
A report from Algemeiner.com said that the pop singer and her husband made a rare public appearance and arrived in the West Bank on Wednesday after making a long-hour trip from Amman, Jordan. They came to this landlocked territory for a private visit and planned to do some sightseeing in the Palestinian Authority (PA), including visitation to Ramallah and Hebron.
According to the YBF’s report, Janet and her husband use their time and resources to improve the lives of others. The last time we saw Janet’s social activity was last year when she was raising money for amFAR’s event for AIDS. This week, she and Wissam took pictures hugging and playing with kids at Zaatari, a refugee camp in Jordan. Janet posted the photos on her Facebook page with the caption, “With UNICEF Zaatari Camp. Syria’s beautiful children. Their openness and love… so wonderful. Wissam and Janet.”
The YBF added that it is worth to recall in Janet’s socio-political album Rhythm Nation 1814, which was released 25 years ago, many of the social issues she dealt with remain current today. It’s great to see that her charity work was never a fad and she continues to give back to those who need it.

The Democrats’ Black Hole—and What They Can Do About It
The new Senate will be even harder right than you thought, and there’s little the 45 Democratic senators will be able to accomplish. But there’s a smarter way they can play defense.
Here’s an under-discussed reality of the new, Mitch McConnell-led Senate that’s about to take over: The Senate Republican caucus is very likely to be far more conservative than anything we’ve seen. Nine new Republican senators will swear their oaths of office. By my measurement, only one, West Virginia’s Shelley Moore Capito, is what you’d call a basic mainstream conservative. The other eight are varying degrees of out there.
North Carolina’s Thom Tillis ran against an even more extreme Tea Partier, so the media sometimes called him mainstream or even moderate, but as speaker of the state House he helped push through the radical-right agenda of Gov. Pat McCrory that led to the Moral Monday protests. The new senators from Louisiana and Arkansas are about what you’d reckon. And then there are the people no one gave a thought to in October and November because their races weren’t contested. But people like Nebraska’s Ben Sasse and Montana’s Steve Daines are going to be senators, and they ran with Tea Party backing.
So not only will the GOP have control in the Senate, it will move the center of gravity on Capitol Hill hard to starboard. What can the Democrats do?
The true answer is “not much.” Forty-five seats, which they’ll have, will give them enough to block stuff, but obviously nothing positive will be enacted. So Democrats will just have to play defense, mostly. But they need to play smart defense.

4 Things That Were Supposed To Happen By 2015 Because Obama Was Reelected
BY JUDD LEGUM
POSTED ON JANUARY 1, 2015 AT 9:43 AM
UPDATED: JANUARY 1, 2015 AT 1:32 PM
It’s now 2015, nearly two years after Obama took the oath of office for the second time. A few years ago, prognosticators were very confident about what would happen to America by now because of Obama’s reelection. Let’s check in and see how their predictions turned out:
1. Gas was supposed to cost $5.45 per gallon.
In March 2012, on the floor of the United States Senate, Mike Lee (R-UT) predicted that if Obama was reelected gas would cost $5.45 per gallon by the start 2015. Lee said that gas prices would rise 5 cents for every month Obama was in office, ultimately reaching $6.60 per gallon.

Sting Earns $2,000 a Day Because Puff Daddy Didn’t Say ‘Please’ Back in 1997
by Dave Lifton January 7, 2014 1:35 PM
It’s safe to say that Sting never has to work again if he doesn’t want to. On top of all his income from touring and his incredibly popular back catalog, a new article reveals that he earns $730,000 a year — $2,000 a day — in royalties from only one song, ‘Every Breath You Take.’
Celebrity Net Worth gets into the fiscal story of the Police’s massive 1983 hit. Its success had already netted Sting enough “mailbox money” over the years, but in 1997 it was appropriated by Puff Daddy for ‘I’ll Be Missing You,’ his tribute to slain rapper Notorious B.I.G. Its melody was used in the chorus, sung by Biggie’s widow, Faith Evans, and Andy Summers’ ominously sinuous guitar part was sampled.
However, Puff Daddy never asked permission from Sting for the sample, which would have probably allowed him to pay out just 25 percent of the publishing royalties. Instead, due to copyright law, Sting was able to lay claim to 100 percent of them. The track sold seven million copies and won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.

American Democracy and Torture
Posted: 12/24/2014 1:17 pm EST Updated: 12/24/2014 1:59 pm EST
THIS: “It’s no secret that former Vice President Dick Cheney has never been one of my favorites. And I will admit that when I saw him rise again on the Sunday morning shows and other television outlets around this torture report a few weeks back, my first reaction was “Why are they talking to him? Shouldn’t he be on trial for violating international law?” So, of course he should have been there. We live in a democracy! And, as he sits square in the middle of this whole controversy I had to admit I was curious as to his reaction.
There he was in all his glory, in all his arrogance, defending torture, or rather enhanced interrogation techniques, such as waterboarding and rectal feeding — which he said he believed was done for medical reasons. Really? He defended it all. I couldn’t help but think that maybe it’s time Vice President Cheney move from defending his actions on Fox News and Meet the Press, and be asked to defend it in a court of law.”
