That would be extortion and he would likely be brought up on federal charges and would have to get comfy in a federal prison. Not unlike the guy who tried to extort money from David Letterman. Maybe those two bozos could share a prison cell.

The Stadard Hotel in the Meatpacking District of NYC is a trendy, quite expensive hotel that serves quite a few celebs. At least they did before this incident. Celebs will be less likely to stay there (and spend their $$$$) if they think thier "indescretions" will be sold to TMZ. It's possible that The Standard may…

Oh, I see. You are one of those magical people who can switch from behaving like gutter trash to behaving like a coherent, professional, intelligent individual one the drop of a dime. What a feat!

I doubt that you are an attorney of any standing or merit if you don't realize how inappropriate it is to use pet names with total strangers. No way I believe you could exist in a professional setting with such a lack of propriety.

I'm an attorney and deal with the rules of evidence on a daily basis (the rules of evidence are simply based on logic). You have a videotape of someone being violent and two people standing calmly by. Yet, despite what you see with your two eyes you reach for "statistics" to suggest that someone calmly taking the…

I guess the same place that you got that Beyoncé "looks like a woman who has been terrified into total submission" of Jay-Z? And as someone who lived with a domineering and abusive sibling Solange's behavior is all too familiar.

Why the "F" work to denote sex? Real question... Such an odd choice to me...

You obviously grew up in a home without an abusive and domineering sibling and for that you should be grateful. Not all of us (myself included) are that lucky.

Who mentioned legality? I certainly didn't. I said that many pro-choicers are hypocrites when it comes to women's reproductive choices. They will be aghast if someone on Fox News publicly derides a woman for having several abortions in her life yet will happily make fun of women who have more children them they…

You can't be a feminist and be in messy, sometimes f'd up relationships? Guess I'm not a feminist, nor any of my friends :-(. I guess the millions of women around the world in abusive relationships can't be feminists. And someone better call Hillary Clinton and let her know she's not a feminist either...

As someone who grew up with violence in my home I can say that he acted appropriately. There were body guards present and they knew it was a short elevator ride. Him "asserting" himself in the way you suggest would likely only enrage Solange more—-in my experience abusers are often TRYING to provoke a response. He…

I agree, but I think the abuser in Beyonce's life is Solange. Growing up with her violent tendencies would be scarring, no doubt. I grew up with a sibling prone to fits of rage and this episode seems, sadly, all too familiar.

What video did you see? He stands there perfectly calm as she wails on him...

Yup. I don't think being conventionally attractive was her goal with the wigs, crazy outfits, etc. She wanted to stand out (a la Lady Gaga), which was a good move for her career.

No, I'm not forgetting. She dates famous and successful Black men. That cat is out of the bag.

So...Kim K. admits she lived in a bubble of privilege where she got rewarded for her looks and skin color and vows to open her eyes moving forward and she gets mocked for that on Jezzie. JLaw, on the other hand, blathers on in yet ANOTHER interview about "Oh, Gee, Shucks, I just can't walk in my custom-made Dior…

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

I think it's precisely because teenagers can and do have sexual thoughts that adults need to set up very clear boundaries with them. Because young teens may have "adult" thoughts they may think they are adults. They are not. They are not emotionally equipped to handle sexual activity, especially with men 7 years…

She has a child with and is about to marry one of the most outspoken cultural critics about race on the planet. And she's raising a biracial child, one that many see as Black (lots of people still believe in the "one drop" rule). If that doesn't increase your consciousness about racism than you are dead.

She seems like a lot of fun. KP—-call me. Let's be besties.
