Back in 2014, we told you that Hi-Five singer Russell Neal had been arrested in the murder of his wife, Catherine Martinez. At the time, all we knew was that Neal went to the police to tell them that the couple had been in an argument and that she was in need of medical attention. From there, police found her dead in their apartment in Houston, as the cause of death was blunt force trauma. Martinez, the mother of Neal’s two children, was also stabbed multiple times. After that, he refused to really talk to investigators about what went down, instead opting for a lawyer. He was charged with murder and released on a bond of $100,000.

I’m Really Over Wendy Williams Downplaying Our Culture

wendy williams

This morning, I stumbled across yesterday’s episode of “The Wendy Williams Show.” Notice I said stumbled across because I don’t normally tune in unless there’s a guest I really love. It’s nothing personal against Wendy; my time is very limited and I’m already a recovering procrastinator. The smallest distraction can make me relapse for a day or two. Anyway, Wendy opened up her infamous Hot Topics segment with the news of Lady Gaga replacing Beyoncé as the headliner for this year’s Coachella concert in April. According to Wendy, she likes to stay in tune with the millennial crowd via social media to see what’s on their minds in terms of pop culture, and she said she was surprised to find the Beehive pissed that Gaga would be performing instead of Blu Ivy’s mother. Wendy claimed Lady Gaga and Beyoncé generally have the same fanbase so she doesn’t understand why the hive is so upset… Well, Wendy, that’s because they don’t.

Sounds like Foxy Brown is jumping into the Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma clash. Video has surfaced over her voice going in over Jay Z’s “The Takeover” beat.

Foxy Brown was one of the many people Remy name dropped in her Minaj diss track “ShEther.” She took a slight jab at Fox when she rapped, “Talkin’ sh*t about me to a deaf b*tch / And usually I have sympathy for the impaired / But not when you hard of hearin’ from untreated gonorrhea.”

Fox warned that she “don’t battle, I bodybag.”

Well, it sounds like she going to try and prove it. Video has surfaced of her rapping and supposedly going at Remy.

Girl receives flu shot at outdoor free clinic

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
