Last week actor/activist Harry Belafonte blasted pop stars Beyonce and Jay Z for turning their backs on their social responsibility.

Beyonce fires back with a list of her accomplishments…

From The Wall Street Journal

In response to Belafonte’s words, Beyonce’s representative emailed what she called “An abbreviated list of the unselfish work Beyoncé has done and continues to do.” The list included co-founding The Survivor Foundation “a multi-purpose community outreach facility in downtown Houston”; donating “100K in 2008 to the Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund to aid Texas victims of Hurricane Ike”; performing in “MTV’s Hope For Haiti Now! Benefit in addition to making a generous monetary donation,” among many other charitable activities.

K. Michelle won’t be satisfied until she burns every bridge in her path. Last night during the airing of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, K. Michelle began taking shots at her former friend Rasheeda.

Read each set from the bottom up.

Last week rumors swirled that Love and Hip Hop producer Mona Scott-Young was trying to get Memphitz on the Love and Hip Hop Atlanta reunion show to confront K. Michelle about claims he abused her and stole money from her recording contract.  Memphitz’ wife Toya confirms the rumors and explains why she told Memphitz not to go on the show.

Toya tells Talking with Tami,

“[K. Michelle has] all these false allegations with no proof! Mona Scott called [Memphitz] to come be a part of the show and I told him don’t feed into that. Do what you have to do. Get your attorney involved…[K. Michelle] has no story line…You are her storyline…Like, why would we be a part of that? Mona called him to be on the reunion. No! We’re not going to help you get ratings.”

Taking to Aaliyah’s official Facebook page,  Rashad Haughton, Aaliyah’s brother wrote:

“there is no official album being released and supported by the Haughton family.” -Rashad Haughton (regarding upcoming album release rumors).

There has been speculation ever since Drake said he planned on producing an Aaliyah album.  Timbaland aslo responded, saying that if he and Missy Elliot aren’t involved, there could never be another Aaliyah album.

Somehow, K.Michelle and Toya Wright are finding ways to keep the same dramatic stories in circulation by causing more drama.For weeks, the reality stars been going at it via the ‘net over basically some dumb ish.

On Wednesday, Toya posted an Instagram message that read: “Shut up yOu hatin’ Azz And keep me Out Of yOur mOuth Cus i aint a D*ck!!”

Harsh words, but it’s not certain who that message was meant for, although we’re reasonable sure it for K. Michelle.

The message seems to be linked to a recent “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” fiasco.

“If you ain’t in the room you need to shut the f_C# up. I don’t care if that’s your husband or not ’cause at the end of the day, you look d!ck drunk. You need to be quiet because I never came for you.”

This drama isn’t new. The ladies have been going at it since the show premiered, likely because they both have had relations with the same man, MeMpHiTz, and K.Michelle alluded at one point that dude is abusive.

Over the past few days rumors spread that Usher and his ex-wife Tameka Raymond were moving forward with their bitter child custody battle despite Tameka burying her 11 year old son Kile Glover last week.

Tameka has released a statement addressing the situation.

Tameka tells Global Grind,

To begin, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the countless number of people who opened their hearts, extended their prayers, well-wishes and remained hopeful for my son Kile during the last weeks of his life. I truly believe that he has always been an Angel from birth and the World was just too small to contain a spirit so vast. I’m thankful and blessed to merely be the vessel that carried him and humbled that God gave him to us to love. I also feel humbled by everyone’s show of concern, and knowing that Kile Glover touched the lives of so many has given me strength during my worst & darkest hour … Again I THANK YOU ALL!

Sadly, I remain in the unfortunate position of having to respond to and attend court proceedings that were not initiated or begun by me. I did not file this custody case (January 2011) and was content with the ‘joint custody’ arrangement that we share. Most importantly, nor do I wish to appear in court while I am mourning the loss of my son. But I do not want to delay thus prolong these proceedings either; I’d rather continue this arduous process hoping it will help move me through this most difficult period in my life. People seem to be privy to only my filed responses as ‘Defendant’ to the initiation of this case (Jan 4, 2011), when I have only been defending myself and protecting the best interests of my children through my counsel. I cannot control how the media reports are written/slanted/spun or even how court documents may be manipulated in their attribution of certain statements as if they are direct “quotes” from me- yet I can control what I actually say myself.

This may sound really cliché but you must NOT believe everything you read or hear and never judge… especially without solid facts and always, but always consider the source. Discernment is key. My boys are my entire world and I will fight tooth and nail to keep all of my sons together as a family, I pray for a swift, peaceful resolution so that we all can move forward.

Again, thank you for your concern, positive energy and hope for my family during this surreal time. There have been times when just the right words, at the right time, have provided me shelter through this storm and I appreciate you all. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

With Love & Light,

Tameka Foster Raymond

The real reason Usher wants to postpone his child custody hearing with Tameka Raymond is because Usher believes sympathy for Tameka’s recently deceased child will give her an unfair advantage in court.

According to documents obtained by TMZ Usher claims moving forward with the hearing at this time would cause “unnecessary stress and strain” for both himself, Tameka and their two minor children “in the immediate wake of [the] tragedy” and also that Tameka would get an unfair advantage in the hearing because the court would not want to rule against a woman who is still grieving the death of her son.

Tameka is not having it. She calls Usher’s claims of stress and strain ‘bogus’ and says he only visited Kile once during the 15 days he was in the hospital and refused Tameka’s request to post a Tweet asking for prayers for Kile opting instead to Tweet about his breakfast that day. 

Tameka wants to resolve the child custody issue as quickly as possible so she can move on with her life.

The next scheduled hearing is for August 13th.

Last month Mathew Knowles announced that a Destiny’s Child reunion was imminent and that unreleased music from the girls would be out before years end.

Well, maybe Mathew was talking about a reuinon between LeToya Luckett, Latavia Roberson and Farrah Franklin because Kelly Rowland don’t know nothing about it.

Kelly tells MTV,

“If [reuniting is] something that we would want to do, you know, [we would do it] but in the meantime we’re just enjoying each other’s friendship. That’s the greatest gift of Destiny’s Child.”
