Beyonce is SO EXTRA!!!!

The ReadyWriter

Debuting the first photo of her and JayZ’s new born twins, Remi and Sir Carter; like normal Beyonce style, the photo is extremely extra and over the top.

Standing in garden looking like a goddess, the studio singer couldn’t wait to post a picture for the media attention and shock she so desperately seek.

Adorned in a flowery frock, trying to look angelic; you wouldn’t even notice what she’s holding at first glance. But because these twins will be Beyonce’s new show piece like an added accessory, she broke twitter yesterday with up to 5 million views.

How sad she’s so over rated.

Conversations Of A Sistah, Light skin vs. Dark skin

“For Some, Bleaching Is The New Beautiful” on ‘Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

In many different cultures and countries around the world, skin color plays a huge role in the concept of beauty. Lighter skin is often preferable to darker skin. The effects of the African American self-hate toward each other because of ones skin color is rather eye opening and sad, to say the least. This is a very hot and taboo topic among the African American community.

As a culture that came from years of oppression and hatred inflicted by slave owners, forced to think that because of their color, they were inferior, blacks have somehow reverted back to having this sort of mindset which is, in fact, hurting them as a whole. With no thanks to the media and its influence on what is seen as beautiful, Black America is tearing itself apart when it focuses on such a shallow aspect of a person that they cant control.

Jesse Williams & Minka Kelly Dated for Months Before His Separation from Wife

The ReadyWriter

Actors Jesse Williams and Minka Kelly dated for months before his separation from his  wife, Aryn Drake-Lee of thirteen years. Williams and Kelly were spotted on a date Monday night.

The Grey’s Anatomy star filed for divorce from his wife on April 11, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.com.

“They’re having a good time together,” a source confirmed to PEOPLE. Williams, 35, and Drake-Lee have two children together, daughter Sadie, 3, and son Maceo, 2.

Jesse addressed the breakup in Jay-Z‘s visual for his album 4:44. In the short film, titled Footnotes for 4:44, Williams addressed being unfaithful with 37-year-old Kelly.

He angrily dismissed the widespread criticism about his cheating on his wife, saying he didn’t throw his wife away for a cute woman.

“I was in a relationship 13 years, 13 real years, not 5 years, not 7 years — 13 years,” he said. “All of a sudden motherfuckers are writing think-pieces that I somehow threw away a 13-year relationship.

 

“Like, the most painful experience I’ve had in my life with a person I’ve loved with all of my heart — that I threw a person and my family in the trash because a girl I work with is cute,” he continued.

It’s shocking to me how Williams speak of his thirteen year marriage as if it was a prison sentence.

Miss South Africa Criticized for Wearing Latex Gloves to Greet Black Children

The ReadyWriter

Miss South Africa Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters denies accusations that she wore latex gloves because she didn’t want to touch black children at a soup kitchen in Johannesburg, South Africa.

However, The beauty pageant winner, who is mixed race, is seen in photos wearing latex gloves while eating with black children at the soup kitchen last week, which of course tells another story.

Twitter.com users accused Miss South Africa of being racist. But she and other volunteers claim they wore the gloves to “be hygienic”.

“We thought it was the right thing to do, seeing as we were working with food,” said the 22-year-old, who helped to prepare the food.

But a witness who was there said Nel-Peters was “peeling potatoes without gloves for white folks.”

The community center that housed the soup kitchen feeds orphans and other vulnerable children, some of who are HIV positive.

Miss South Africa took to her Twitter account on Wednesday, July 5, to dispute the allegations.

“To everyone asking about the gloves, I truly hope that you’ll hear my heart and understand that it came from a place of wanting to do good,” she said in a video tweet.

Medical Minute: Untreatable ‘Super Gonorrhea’ On the Rise

The ReadyWriter

A new untreatable form of gonorrhea, called “super gonorrhea” is infecting people all over the world. This new strain is mainly spread by oral sex, and there is no treatment.

This new strain was developed after doctors misdiagnosed it for strep throat and began overprescribing antibiotics. Researchers say the bacteria has gotten smarter and adapted quickly to resist standard treatment.

The super strain of gonorrhea is resistant to all antibiotics, including the last line of defense — azthromycin (AZT) and ceftriaxone antibiotics.

Gonorrhea usually infects 78 million people per year. It commonly affects the genitals, rectum and throat.

Patients infected with gonorrhea usually have no symptoms. But if left untreated, gonorrhea can cause abdominal and genital pain and a smelly discharge from the genitals. Also common is fever, frequent urge to urinate, irregular menstruation, or sore throat and difficulty swallowing.

Gonorrhea is the 2nd most commonly spread STD in America. It can increase the risk of HIV infection and can be spread from mother to child during childbirth.

The NY Daily News reports that 3 new antibiotics are in the pipeline, but it is not known when those drugs will reach the market.

The standard cautions still apply: use condoms and gels, or practice abstinence if you are not married.
