Social media users sparked wild debates on X (Twitter) by suggesting Beyoncé has now surpassed Michael Jackson as the greatest entertainer of all time.

Beyoncé’s fanatic fan base believe her Netflix Christmas Day halftime performance was greater than any Michael Jackson performance in history.

One Beyoncé fanatic wrote: “Michael Jackson doesn’t have nearly as many great performances as Beyoncé and that’s a hill I’m willing to die on.”

But Michael’s fans say there is no competition: Michael is the GOAT dead or alive. Michael accomplished more by age 25 than Beyoncé has done at age 43 (or whatever her real age is).

One X user wrote: “You are f****n retarded if you believe Beyoncé has surpassed Michael Jackson. MJ blew up without social media, without the Internet, his music transcended his genre and broke down so many barriers to unite the world.”

Another person wrote: “I need y’all to stop comparing Beyoncé to Michael Jackson, there will never be another him. She’s talented in her own right, but no.”

A third person wrote: “I wish people could appreciate Beyoncè for her being the greatest performing talent of this generation without comparing her to past greats like Michael Jackson.”

Last week, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” ex husband Peter Thomas was sentenced to 18 months in prison for income tax evasion.

Thomas, 64, pled guilty to tax fraud and failure to pay over $2.5 million in employment taxes. Prosecutors say Thomas withheld money from his employee payroll. He then spent the money on plane tickets and ride-sharing services and $250,000 on designer clothes, shoes and other luxury goods.

In addition to serving prison time, Thomas must pay $2.5 million in restitution to the government. His strict post-prison conditions include taking random drug tests and abstaining from alcohol.

Thomas must join a substance abuse testing program during his two years of supervised release and he can’t buy, use, or possess any narcotics or street drugs.

The drug and alcohol testing requirements stem from a DUI arrest in January 2024.

His attorney told TMZ: “Anytime there is an indication that alcohol has contributed to problems in this person’s life, they will offer treatment or monitoring to make sure this person succeeds on probation.”

Thomas took to Instagram after his sentencing to thank his lawyer for doing the best she could to defend him. He also expressed his gratitude to the judge and prosecutor for going easy on him.

“I want to thank Miss [C. Melissa] Owen, my attorney, for doing an incredible job,” he said. “I want to thank the prosecutor and the judge because they did an incredible job, and I’m thankful that they’re fair people.”

Thomas also thanked the government for allowing him to get his business affairs in order before he surrenders to prison officials.

Federal judge may force Jay-Z to take DNA test to confirm son’s paternity

A federal judge might force Jay-Z to take a DNA test to prove Rymir Satterthwaite’s claim that he is the rap mogul’s illegitimate son.

On Thursday, Judge Analisa Torres sided with an Alabama woman who accused Jay-Z and Sean Combs of assaulting her when she was 13 back in 2000.

The judge rebuked Jay-Z and his lawyer, Alex Spiro, for “wasting court resources” and filing “a litany of letters and motions” to dismiss the lawsuit against the rapper.

In a five-page filing on Thursday, Judge Torres chastised Spiro’s aggressive legal filings, describing them as “combative” and filled with “inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks.”

Jay-Z faces the public spectacle of a career-ending trial if he doesn’t settle out of court with his accuser before then.

Judge Torres also allowed “Jane Doe” to proceed with her lawsuit anonymously on Thursday. Now legal experts say the judge could force Jay-Z to give a DNA sample to prove he didn’t father a child with a 16-year-old girl.

Jay-Z, Rymir Satterthwaite

Rymir Satterthwaite believes he might be Jay-Z’s illegitimate son and that his mom was underage when she gave birth to him. Rymir says his mom was only 16 when she slept with Jay-Z. The age of consent is 17 in New York. A 16-year-old girl can’t consent to sex with an adult in the state.

Jay-Z has been accused of avoiding the DNA test because it would confirm longstanding rumors that he had a preference for virginal teenagers.

If Jay-Z fathered a child with a minor, a jury is more likely to believe he would defile an underage girl.

A trial could open the door to dozens of lawsuits filed by women who say they lost their virginity to Jay-Z when they were underage.

A pizza delivery driver in Florida is charged with stabbing a pregnant woman 14 times over a $2 tip.

The woman, her boyfriend and the woman’s 5-year-old daughter were staying at a motel in Kissimmee to celebrate a birthday. The woman ordered a Marco’s pizza for $33 on Sunday.

Brianna Alvelo, 22, delivered the pizza, and was asked to give change for a $50 bill. But Alvelo said it was against company policy to provide change. So the woman paid for the pizza with smaller bills, and gave Alvelo a $2 tip.

Alvelo took the $2 and left without saying anything. According to an affidavit, Alvelo and an unidentified male returned to the motel in a red Toyota Camry around 10 pm.

Wearing all black and black face masks, they forced entry into the motel room. The man threatened the woman’s boyfriend with the gun and ordered him into a bathroom.

Alvelo rifled through the woman’s purse and broke her daughter’s Nintendo Switch. When the victim tried to protect her daughter, Alvelo stabbed her multiple times before fleeing with the male.

The victim suffered stab wounds to her chest, arms, legs and abdomen. She discovered she was pregnant while being treated at a local hospital, the affidavit said.

Police tracked Alvelo to Marco’s Pizza and confirmed she was the delivery driver.

A manager at the Marco’s Pizza location confirmed that Alvelo drives a red Toyota Camry. He also gave investigators a copy of her time card, verifying that she finished her shift at 10:20 pm. The time card proved Alvelo was still on the clock when she returned to the motel to attack the woman.

Alvelo was arrested and is being held at the Osceola County Jail with bail set at $55,000.

Alvelo is charged with attempted murder, home invasion with a firearm, kidnapping and aggravated assault. The unknown male is still at large.

‘Cosby’ star Geoffrey Owens reveals why he returned to work at Trader Joe’s despite financial help from Tyler Perry

‘Cosby’ star Geoffrey Owens reveals why he returned to work at Trader Joe’s despite financial help from Tyler Perry

“Cosby” actor Geoffrey Owens is still struggling to make ends meet despite receiving financial help from Tyler Perry.

Owens, 63, played Bill Cosby’s son-in-law Elvin Tibideaux on the popular TV sitcom “The Cosby Show” from 1985-1992. But Owens eventually fell on hard times as an out-of-work actor.

In 2018, RadarOnline.com discovered Owens scanning groceries at a Trader Joe’s in Clifton, New Jersey, for $11 an hour.

The story went viral, and job offers poured in for the beloved character actor. He made the rounds on TV talk shows and podcasts. His rags-to-riches and back-to-rags story inspired others.

Director Tyler Perry and Damon Wayans extended job offers to get him back on his feet. Perry cast Owens in “The Haves and the Have Nots”. Owens was also a cast member on “Poppa’s Health,” starring Wayans and his son.

Additionally, Owens appeared in the 50 Cent-produced “Power” and “Power Book II: Ghost”.

However, just six years later, Owens confessed that he returned to work at a Trader’s Joe’s to make ends meet.

Owens recently told V-103 radio station in Atlanta that the attention he received in 2018 was “mostly good.”

“At first, there was some negative stuff about basically the job-shaming. A ‘where is he now’ kinda thing. But then, very soon after that, there was all this support and encouragement from all over the world.”

Owens admitted he went back to his old job to work part-time. “Even today, right now, as we speak, I still struggle to make a living. I struggle every day to make my ends meet. And people can’t get their heads around that because they see me in movies,” he shared.

When asked about receiving residual payments for his work on “The Cosby Show,” Owens said he only appeared in 20% of the episodes. The residual checks dried up when the show was pulled from syndication for a while after Bill Cosby was hit with assault allegations from dozens of women.

Owens said the acting gigs barely kept his head above water. To make matters worse, Tyler Perry stopped returning his calls.

“People have a false impression of what the average, what I call ‘middle-class actor’ makes, and their ability to make a living in the industry. So that’s what drove me to work at Trader Joe’s to begin with.”

“No one should feel sorry for me,” he insists. “I’ve had a great life. I’ve had a great career. I’ve had a career that most actors would die for. So no one has to feel sorry for me. I’m doing fine!”

Jay-Z’s accuser won a small victory in a Manhattan federal courthouse. The judge is allowing an Alabama woman to proceed with her lawsuit against Jay-Z anonymously.

In her lawsuit, “Jane Doe” accused Jay-Z and Sean Combs of assaulting her while she was 13 years old in 2000.

During an urgent hearing last week, Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, pushed the judge to drop Jay-Z’s name from the case.

However, the judge rejected the “litany” of “combative” letters and motions from Spiro.

“The Court will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it,” Judge Analisa Torres wrote.

Jay-Z had hoped to get the case against him dismissed before his wife, Beyoncé, performed a Netflix Christmas Day halftime show. Jay-Z was asked to stay away from the football game to avoid any unnecessary press.

Torres noted that Spiro has “submitted a litany of letters and motions attempting to impugn the character of Plaintiff’s lawyer [Tony Buzbee]”.

Torres added that “[Jay-Z]’s lawyer’s relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks is inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources, and a tactic unlikely to benefit his client.”

Apparently, the judge finds that the accuser has good cause to proceed with the case against Jay-Z.

Wendy Williams rages at caretakers for leaving her expensive scooter in the street (Video)

Wendy Williams vented her frustration at her caretakers for leaving her expensive mobility scooter in the middle of the street. The former TV talk show host attended a college graduation ceremony for her son Kevin Jr. in Florida recently. Afterwards, she learned that her caretakers left her mobility scooter in the street while they went to fetch her car.

Cell phone video shows Wendy reprimanding her employees. “And then both of you walked away leaving my sh*t in the middle of the street,” she said. “Just get the car… make sure it’s the right car,” she added.

Wendy explained the staffers got the wrong car and they left her scooter in the middle of the street as they walked away, “Leaving my most precious… this cost a f*cking mint!”

Wendy was diagnosed with Graves’ disease and lymphedema in her legs, which causes mobility issues. She can walk short distances but Wendy relies on her scooter to get around.

Wendy showed no signs of cognitive decline in the video. She seemed alert and oriented to her surroundings. Wendy also doesn’t seem to have any memory deficits. She knew exactly who she was cursing out and why.

The video conflicted with a recent report that Wendy was “permanently incapacitated” and unable to speak, according to documents filed by her guardian in November.

The documents, obtained by The U.S. Sun, stated that Wendy “has been afflicted by early-onset dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.”

If you think your life is hard, try walking in rapper Finesse2Tymes’ shoes. Finnesse2Tymes is currently beefing with an 11-year-old child online.

FNG King is Finesse’s former artist who moved in with the Memphis rapper last year to remove him from bad influences at home.

In a new video, an emotional Finesse explained that the boy was no longer living with him and that King ran away when he disciplined the child for cursing, handling firearms in videos, and gambling.

Last year, Charleston White called Child Protective Services about Lil King. CPS contacted Finesse with concerns about the boy waving a gun in a music video.

In his response video, Lil King explained that Finesse was actually a bad influence on him.

Lil King accused Finesse of stealing jewelry from Mob Ties gangster J Prince and melting it down to make a new chain for himself. King also admitted to a gambling habit, but the 11-year-old says he gambles to support his grandmother and siblings.

In a separate video, King said finesse tried to call him 40 times. He played an audio clip of Finesse warning him, “We’ve got videos of you, too.”

King said Finnesse2Tymes is “very conniving.”

In 2018, Finesse, 32, was sentenced to 5 years in prison on a weapons charge. But he seems to have turned his life around.

In 2023, King’s mom was arrested for attempted murder after she stabbed her mother.

Deion Sanders and his assistant coaches spent quality time with Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter at SeaWorld after more videos of his fiancée leaked online.

Cell phone video shows Travis surrounded by the coaches at SeaWorld.

Social media users joked that Deion took Travis to SeaWorld to show him there are plenty of fish in the sea.

The entire team went to SeaWorld in San Antonio, Texas, but the coaches gave special attention to Travis, 21, who is reportedly distraught over the online drama involving his fiancée Leanna Lenee, 23.

In another viral video recorded during practice for the upcoming Alamo Bowl, Deion reminded Travis that he is “him.”

“Where is Mr. Hunter? Where’s my dawg?” Deion said while looking around for Travis. “Come here, man. Bring yo’ butt here,” Deion added. “I want you to know this in front of everybody,” the coach continued. “You know we love you, we got you, you’re appreciated. You are him, all right?”

Then Deion led the team in chants of “Blessed!” as the depressed Travis walked away.

Travis needed the pep talk from Deion because his love life is in shambles online and off.

Unfortunately, Travis didn’t have a stable father at home to teach him about desperate women.

Travis first contacted Leanna online when he was a 17-year-old high school student in Suwannee, Georgia. Leanna was a 19-year-old college student in Atlanta with a growing online fan base of mostly horny men.

Leanna left Travis “on read” for months — until she realized he was a heavily recruited 2 sport athlete. He was rated the No. 1 high school athlete in the country with over 20 scholarship offers from universities.

Travis committed to Jackson State University, where Deion was the head coach at the time. Travis and Leanna followed Deion to Colorado after the NFL legend landed the coveted coaching job there.

Travis quickly became a star at the wide receiver and cornerback positions for Colorado. His father was in prison, so Deion took the young man under his wing and mentored him. Travis was often referred to as Deion’s fourth son.

After winning 4 games in 2023, Travis and quarterback Shedeur Sanders led Colorado to a 9-3 record in 2024.

With his NIL deal money, Travis bought Leanna a Tesla Model X, and designer bags, clothes and shoes.

The first sign of trouble in Travis’ personal life came when he was spotted arguing with Leanna after a game. A TikTok user read their lips: Leanna was upset that Travis spoke to a cheerleader on the sideline.

More embarrassing videos followed, including one that showed Deion nudging Leanna to stand up and applaud Travis at the Heisman ceremony.

Both Travis and Leanna deleted their Instagram accounts when a leaked video showed her dirty dancing with an unknown male in a strip club.

Then, earlier this week, a man posted a video of Leanna in his bed and in the kitchen fixing his dinner. The video was recorded 3 years ago – while Travis and Leanna were together. They got engaged in Puerto Rico in February 2024 after dating 5 years.

Someone else wrote: “Tiny mother got them strong genes he look like Great Grandma. King Harris, you ARE the father and he is cute as a button.”
