Raven-Symoné and Her Wife, Miranda Maday, Sleep in Separate Bedrooms

Raven-Symoné has revealed she and her wife, Miranda Maday, sleep in separate bedrooms. The “Cosby” star and Miranda opened up about their sleeping arrangements in the April 24 episode of their podcast Tea Time with Raven & Miranda.

Both ladies agreed that sleeping in separate bedrooms saved their marriage.

Raven-Symoné, 39, admitted it was her idea to sleep in separate beds last year. Miranda feared that Raven-Symoné was dropping a hint that she grew tired of their union and wanted out of the marriage.

Miranda confessed that social pressures from her parents and TikTok users made her think that married couples sleeping apart was a red flag. But, after talking to other straight and gay couples, she soon warmed up to the idea of going to separate bedrooms at the end of the night.

“We function better in separate spaces,” Miranda explained, with Raven adding, “Yep.”

Miranda said Raven is a “sporadic sleeper” who disturbed her sleep schedule.

“Not all the time, but especially when it comes to sleep. You are such a sporadic, bizarre sleeper, and I really need sleep to function. I was like, ‘We should have separate bedrooms, then we could each decorate our rooms the way we want,’ because you had a different vibe.”

“And then we wouldn’t f–k each other’s sleep schedule up — primarily, you’re not f–king mine up,” she added. “Raven, babe, you sleep in the reverse orientation.”

The “That’s So Raven” star then admitted that she does toss and turn in her sleep.

There have been times when Miranda woke up with Raven’s “a– in her face,” while other times she ended up rolling on top of Miranda. Sleeping with raven started to become dangerous.

“Now, we’ve decided that I’m sleeping in a separate bed, and when we need each other…” Raven said. “We text! It’s perfect,” they finished each other’s sentences as they burst out laughing.

Raven said sleeping separately increases their desire for each other.

“We do what we need to. It has upped my [desire] for you. I believe in ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder.’ We work together, we live together, we eat together, we cook together, we drive together…it’s like, I’m going to have a little time to myself, and I think that it’s actually helping.”

Shannon Sharpe wasted no time addressing a new accuser who came forward with disturbing allegations against him.

Shannon, 56, temporarily stepped away from his ESPN hosting duties on Thursday after a 22-year-old “Jane Doe” filed a $50 million lawsuit against him in Nevada.

Shannon strenuously denied the allegations and released graphic text messages to prove their sexual relationship was consensual.

The former NFL star explained that he offered the woman $10 million in a drastic attempt to prevent the “intimate details” of his life from going public.

Now another woman has come forward making similar allegations about Shannon. She claims the incidents occurred during their relationship which ended abruptly in 2010.

“I was triggered, totally triggered,” Michele Evans, now 52, said of the former NFL star’s denials. “I believed her right away. How could I not after going through what I’ve been through?”

Michelle said she filed a protective order in Georgia against the three-time Super Bowl winner, but since then, Evans told Daily Mail, Shannon has doxxed her in retaliation.

“He told me that he would use everybody he knows to destroy me,” Evans said. “That’s basically what he did.”

However, in a statement, Shannon’s legal counsel Mitchell Schuster said Michelle Evans “became obsessed” with the former Denver Broncos tight end.

“Sadly, Ms. Evans became obsessed with Shannon and decided to manufacture a claim against him. When she could not find a lawyer to pursue her outrageous story, she filed a civil complaint on her own that is completely devoid of merit,” the statement read.

Schuster said Jane Doe is following in the footsteps of old allegations made by Michelle Evans in 2010 – and the stories have now resurfaced to “create a fabricated narrative.”

The statement continued: “Bottom line, Shannon has done nothing wrong and intends to fight back against these malicious lies not with manufactured defenses or imaginary stories but with documentary proof and real evidence.

Mitchell Schuster concluded: “For the avoidance of any doubt, Shannon Sharpe was not terminated by ESPN, but he has elected to step away for a temporary period of time from his duties so that he can focus on his family and the frivolous claim filed against him. ESPN agreed with his decision and Shannon plans to return to his role at ESPN for the NFL season.”

Shannon Sharpe said Thursday he is stepping away from his hosting duties at ESPN after a 22-year-old woman filed a $50 million lawsuit against him for rape.

The woman, identified as “Jane Doe” in court paperwork, accused the former NFL star of multiple rapes and physical abuse. Shannon strenuously denied the allegations and threatened to file a countersuit against Doe.

Shannon’s attorney, Lanny Davis explained that Doe turned down a $10 million offer to settle the lawsuit.

Shannon, 56, had a good reason to try and settle out of court.

In a previous incident, Front Office Sports reported that Shannon was accused of choking a female production assistant while he worked at FS1 in 2023.

Shannon’s attorney at the time said that the choking incident never happened.

“There was no incident of choking involving Shannon on the FS1 set. On one occasion, he and a few colleagues were involved in some light physical interaction in a playful context. Fox Sports later chose to resolve the matter privately,” his rep said.

Shannon and Fox Sports quietly settled with the FS1 employee for “several hundred thousand dollars.”

But that wasn’t the end of the story. There was another allegation made by an ex-girlfriend against Shannon in 2023 that FOX could not ignore.

The NFL Hall of Famer was also let go from his gig at CBS Sports after similar accusations.

Shannon is currently covering the 2025 NFL Draft for his “Nightcap” podcast co-hosted by Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson.

Deion Sanders’ Bold Prediction Backfires As Shedeur Sanders Goes Undrafted in the First Round

Deion Sanders’ Bold Prediction Backfires As Shedeur Sanders Goes Undrafted in the First Round

NFL legend Deion Sanders‘ bold prediction backfired during the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday night.

In 2024, Deion predicted that his son, former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders would be one of the top 5 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. Others predicted Shedeur would be the No. 1 pick overall.

But University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward was selected No. 1 overall by the Tennessee Titans on Thursday.

Shedeur’s former Colorado teammate and Heisman trophy winner Travis Hunter was selected No. 2 by the Jacksonville Jaguars who traded up from No. 5 to the Cleveland Browns’ No. 2 pick.

Shedeur, his brother Shilo Sanders, Coach Prime, and Philly rap legend Gillie Da Kid watched as Travis’s name was called.

In anticipation of the NFL Draft, Deion decorated a room with dollar signs and the word “LEGENDARY” throughout.

By the time the Pittsburgh Steelers chose Oregon DT Derrick Harmon with the No. 21 pick, Shedeur’s name was still on the board.

Late Thursday night, as Shedeur fell out of the first round, Deion’s 2024 prediction began to go viral on ex-Twitter.

By the end of the night, all 32 NFL teams had passed on Shedeur Sanders.

The words “arrogant” and “jersey retirement” were tossed around as possible reasons for the blatant disrespect.

Deion had previously announced both Travis and Shedeur would have their jerseys retired at Colorado during the Buffaloes’ 2025 spring game. It was a move that upset Colorado legends and former students.

Shedeur was not humiliated by going undrafted in the first round. He remained optimistic that his name will be called in the second round on Friday.

“We all didn’t expect this, of course,” Shedeur said in a video. “But I feel like with God, anything possible, everything possible. I don’t feel like this happened, you know, for no reason. All this is is, of course, fuel to the fire.”

Shedeur continued: “Under no circumstances did we all know this was going to happen, but we understand we on to bigger and better things. Tomorrow’s the day. We going to be happy regardless. Legendary.”

A photo of Shedeur Sanders and his mother, Pilar, is going viral and sparking confusion on social media. The cause of the confusion is Pilar’s youthful appearance. The 51-year-old mom-of-3 is unrecognizable in the photo.

Fans took to social media to praise the glamorous cougar.

“Pilar is beautiful,” one fan wrote. “Just gorgeous,” someone else wrote.

But others wondered if there was some sorcery going on.

Those who remember Pilar from the family’s reality TV series did a double take when they saw the new photo of her.

“Who is she?” one person wrote. “Is that Shedeur’s girlfriend?” another person wrote.

MEGA/WENN

A third person wondered what type of filter Pilar used on the photo.

MEGA/WENN

Pilar and Deion are pictured with her two step kids, Deiondra and Deion Jr., back in 2008.

Shedeur is in the headlines because today is NFL Draft day and the former Colorado quarterback is expected to be drafted high in the first round.

There are multiple reports that Shedeur and former teammate Travis Hunter, the Heisman trophy winner, might fall out of the top 3 in the draft.

But Shedeur says he doesn’t care what sports writers say. At one point he threatened to sit out of Thursday’s NFL draft.

CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reported Wednesday that “there’s a very good chance” Shedeur might go in the second round.

That would mean NFL coaches don’t think very highly of Sheduer’s talent and skills as a quarterback.

The NFL draft begins at 8 p.m. April 24.

The son of former NBA star Gilbert Arenas is in stable condition following a car accident on Thursday morning.

His mother, Laura Govan, asked for prayers for her son in an Instagram post.

“I need all your (expletive) prayers,” Laura Govan wrote with several praying hand emojis.

Alijah Arenas, 18, was transported to a hospital after his Tesla Cybertruck hit a fire hydrant and came to rest against a tree, TMZ Sports reported.

Cell phone video shows shirtless Alijah escaped the burning vehicle and is seen coughing while laying in a pool of water.

First responders arrived at the scene around 4:45 a.m. and transported Alijah to the hospital. Alijah is being treated for smoke inhalation.

The news comes weeks after Alijah signed a lucrative NIL deal with the $44 billion shoe giant adidas. The 6-ft-6 Alijah told TMZ Sports that he would sign with adidas just like his father did.

Laura Govan, Alijah’s mother, congratulated Alijah after he committed to play for the USC Trojans. Laura is the ex-wife of the three-time NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas.

Laura wrote: “That’s My Baby” in the comments on Instagram.com.

Judge Approves Lil Durk’s Bond Hearing, After India Royale Spotted with Another Man

A female judge has approved Lil Durk‘s motion for bond reconsideration. Durk’s lawyers argued that federal prosecutors submitted fan videos that included edits not created by the drill rapper.

Lil Durk offered a $1 million cash bond and home confinement in Georgia.

The news comes just days after Durk’s baby mama, India Royale was seen feeling up a man’s thigh at a private party.

Video of the apparent infidelity went viral online. Sources say India had promised Durk that she would be his ride-or-die while he was in jail in California.

Durk’s lawyer filed a motion to dismiss the murder-for-hire charges or reconsider the bond.

Judge Patricia Donahue of the U.S. District Court of Central California declined to dismiss the charges, but she approved the motion for a hearing to reconsider giving him bond. The hearing is set for May 8 at 9:30 a.m.

APEX / MEGA

Lil Durk was charged in 2024 with the murder-for-hire hit on aspiring rapper Quando Rondo that resulted in the death of his cousin, Lul Pab, on August 19, 2022. Rondo was not harmed.

Federal prosecutors allege that Durk hired the hitmen in Chicago and flew them to California to carry out the hit in retaliation for the murder of drill rapper King Von.

Rondo was involved in a fistfight with King Von when Von was fatally shot by Rondo’s gang associate in Atlanta in November 2020.

The feds cited lyrics from Lil Durk’s verse on Babyface Ray’s song “Wonderful Wayne & Jackie Boy” as evidence in the case. The song was released in December 2022, three months after the Los Angeles shooting.

“The government told the grand jury that Mr. Banks, through specific lyrics in his music, celebrated and profited from a revenge murder that he had ordered,” David Findling, Durk’s lawyer, wrote. “That claim is demonstrably false”, because the song was written before Lul Pab was killed.

Additionally, Durk’s lawyer disputed fan videos submitted by the prosecution. Findling said “fan edits” of a video featured Rondo’s voice were not in the original song.

“Mr. Banks did not create these videos, and the government has failed to show any nexus between these manufactured video clips and Mr. Banks,” Findling said. “The internet users who posted the videos … are apparent ‘fan pages’ maintained by people with no affiliation to Mr. Banks.”

But the feds have more evidence on Mr. Durk. The hotel rooms and rental cars for the hitmen were allegedly paid for by credit cards linked to Durk’s company.

The feds also have text messages from Durk to one of his associates telling him not to pay for the hotel room with Durk’s credit card. But the associate didn’t listen.

On a positive note, Durk’s lawyer said the drill rapper converted 13 inmates to Islam in a California jail.
