Beyoncé’s team gives the finger to Emmys after ‘Homecoming’ shut out
Tell us how you really feel.
This weekend, Beyoncé’s critically acclaimed Netflix documentary, “Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé,” was shut out of the 2019 Creative Arts Emmys, taking home none of the six awards for which it was nominated.
While Queen Bey has remained mum on the matter, key members of her crew took to social media to share their disappointment, as publicist Yvette Noel-Schure posted an Instagram video of herself along with manager Steve Pamon and other team members throwing up the middle finger while brushing off the evening.
Tour videographer Ben Hagarty took to Twitter to address the snubs, reposting a fan video comparing his work to the production value of “Carpool Karaoke” which ended up taking home the award for Outstanding Variety Special.
“I held a heavy ass camera and walked backwards keeping these 3 legends in frame while dave held a carabiner on my pants to guide me… Oh and I did it going down a set of stairs … ” he wrote.
Deadline reports Beyoncé lost the directing trophy to “Springsteen on Broadway” while the live televised version of “RENT” took home the award for Best Production Design. “RuPaul’s Drag Race” won for Best Costumes and FX’s “Fosse/Verdon” won for Musical Direction. Lastly, Australian comic Hannah Gadsby beat out Bey for Best Writing with her Netflix comedy special, “Nanette.”

Kanye West has banned daughter North from wearing makeup
Kanye West is a strict dad.
Kim Kardashian revealed to E! News that the family patriarch has banned his 6-year-old daughter North West from wearing makeup.
“She loves makeup but her dad won’t let her wear it,” Kardashian said. “I think he had it; he changed all the rules. I’d let her wear, you know, she has a little red for Christmas, I’d let her wear a red lip, or I’d let her do one pop of something. I’d let her, if she’s wearing a black dress, a black lip.”
The pint-size fashionista wore red lipstick to her family’s Christmas party last year, sported neon orange eyeliner to “SNL” and even snagged her first solo magazine cover on the Beauty Inc. edition of Women’s Wear Daily earlier this year.
North’s obsession with cosmetics runs so deep, in fact, that Kardashian previously revealed she often had to bribe her eldest daughter with lipstick just to get her to leave the house.
“So, I kind of got in trouble for that,” Kardashian continued. “So, it’s now no more makeup.”
No word on how West feels about North borrowing her mom’s high heels and designer handbags.

Mother arrested after 11-year-old daughter brings THC edibles to school, shares them with classmates
COVINGTON,LA (WGNO) — On Tuesday, a woman was arrested after it was discovered that her 11-year-old daughter brought THC-laced edibles to school and shared them with her classmates.
A St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s deputy assigned as a resource officer at a Mandeville-area school alerted detectives after a student had a reaction to a gummy candy she was given by a classmate.
The child had to be transported to a local hospital for medical attention.
The resource officer at the school learned that an 11-year-old had brought the gummies to the school and passed them out to other students.
At the child’s residence, detectives located a variety of THC edibles and products, and related paraphernalia.
The child’s mother, 30-year-old Alexandra Price, admitted that she had been making the products.
She was arrested and booked into the St. Tammany Parish Jail for possession of a schedule I CDS, manufacturing of a schedule I CDS, cruelty to juveniles, possession of drug paraphernalia, and sale, distribution or possession of a legend drug without a prescription.
The juvenile, who knew what the gummies contained, was arrested for distribution of schedule I CDS, and she was released into the custody of a family member.
The investigation remains ongoing and additional charges may be forthcoming.
“I applaud our resource officer and the staff at this school who immediately alerted detectives to launch an investigation after a student became sick, preventing the possibility of more children consuming the THC-laced gummies,” Sheriff Randy Smith. “This is an example of how our schools and law enforcement work together every day to keep our children safe.”

Black Transgender Woman Found ‘Burned Beyond Recognition’ In Florida
The body of black transgender woman was found burned in a car in Florida, and advocates say she is the 18th known transgender person to be killed this year.
Hendry County Sheriff’s authorities told the Palm Beach Post Bee Love Slater, 23, was found “burned beyond recognition” in Clewiston, Florida on Sept. 4. Police are investigating her death as a homicide, according to the Post.
Captain Susan Harrelle of the Hendry County Sheriff’s department told the Miami Herald that Slater’s death will not be classified as a hate crime until they can “clearly prove” a motive.
Friends released pink balloons at a candlelight vigil for Slater last Friday. Dezmond Bass, 26, who attended the vigil called Slater “a bundle of joy.”
“It just hurt me to see that that could happen to her,” Bass told USA TODAY. “I didn’t want this swept under rug. I needed to make sure everyone knew what happened to her.”
Jackson Jacksonn, who met Slater four years ago, said she had been threatened on social media and was planning on leaving the city, but someone “got her before she was able to make her move.”
Although Jackson doesn’t believe her death was a hate crime, he expressed frustration at the slow police response.
“How can a murder of this magnitude in such a small town happen and nobody knows nothing?” he asked. “There’s something wrong with that picture.”
Slater died the same week that Bailey Reeves, a 17-year-old black transgender teen was shot and killed in Baltimore, according to Human Rights Campaign. In June, the American Medical Association called violence against transgender people of color an “epidemic.”
“Our society needs to work to ensure transpeople can live without fear,” the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida said on Facebook in response to Slater’s death.

Homeless Mom Sentenced To 5 Years In Prison For Using Friend’s Address To Enroll Son In School
Felicity Huffman‘s 14-day sentencing has spotlighted school-related cases of parents who received longer jail time in comparison to the actress’ role in the college admissions scandal.
A homeless woman from Bridgeport, Connecticut, was sentenced to five years in prison for enrolling her son in a school district where he did not reside.
In 2011, Tanya McDowell wanted a better education for her then 5-year-old son Andrew, and enrolled him in an elementary school in the neighboring town of Norwalk — using her son’s babysitter’s address for registration papers. At the time, she and her son were living out of her van and homeless shelters, and spending nights at an apartment in Bridgeport, the Connecticut Post had reported.
The mother was arrested and charged with first-degree larceny and served five years behind bars for the “stolen” education, according to The Hour.
“Who would have thought that wanting a good education for my son would put me in this predicament?” McDowell, who also had prior drug charges, said in court at the time of her sentencing. “I have no regrets seeking a better education for him, I do regret my participation in this drug case.”
On Friday, actress Huffman was sentenced to 14 days behind bars for her role in the college admissions scandal, which included paying $15,000 to admissions consultant William “Rick” Singer and his nonprofit organization, Key Worldwide Foundation (“KWF”), who then facilitated cheating on Huffman’s daughter’s SAT test by having a proctor correct the teen’s answers after the fact.
Critics pointed out the stark contrast in the consequences between these two cases, arguing that it exemplified a disparity that continues to put underprivileged communities at a disadvantage.
Similarly, in 2011, Ohio mom Kelley Williams-Bolar was sentenced to 10 days in county jail and was convicted of lying about her home address to get her daughters into a different school district. Williams-Bolar refused when officials asked her to pay $30,000 in back tuition, and she was convicted of falsifying residency records.
Earlier this year, The Washington Post reported that a new study showed white school districts received $23 billion more in government funding than nonwhite school districts in 2016, regardless of the fact that they had the same number of students.

Pennsylvania father blew up house, himself on his daughter’s wedding day
EDGEWOOD, Pa. (AP) — A homeowner near Pittsburgh blew up his house on his daughter’s wedding day, police said shortly after his body was found in the rubble late Saturday.
The man had been seen standing in front of his house in Edgewood shortly before it exploded and caught fire, authorities said, but for several hours he couldn’t be accounted for. His death has been ruled a suicide.
Officials are still investigating the explosion’s cause, but “it looks like he disconnected the gas line in the basement of the house,” Police Chief Robert Payne said. “And of course, it wouldn’t take much of a spark to explode the house.”
Most of the family was out of the house at the time for the wedding, officials said.
Police said they had been to the home before for domestic issues relating to mental illness.
A house next door that was damaged by the fire had recently been sold, and officials say a family had been planning to move in soon.
