Beyonce & Jay Z

Our favorite Bonnie and Clyde Couple has done it again. Who else Beyonce and JayZ. The two people in the industry who are richer than rich!!! For the month of August they will be vacationing in the Hampton's. That is not out of the norm for celebrities. But get this the vacation house is 400 K a month. Can you believe that ? I don't think half of us have even spent near 400 K. So for them to spend that on just the house alone. YES my Eyes are green with envy. The house is 31,000 square foot with bolling alleys and a recording studio. 400K I just have to say it again who in the world would spend that amount on just a house? Well when you can afford every and anything you want you can do anything you want. Little baby Blue at only six months is vacationing where many of us will never get to see. Well enough of my jealousy lol.

Thoughts and Prayers for Kile -Tameka Raymond's son

Death of any one is always a sad time. Especially of such a young child. Our thoughts and prayers goes out to Tameka Raymond and her family mourning the lost of her son Kile; who earlier this month was hit in the head while jet skiing. A fun activity turned tragic. Kile was put on life support and everyone was in hope that he will pull through. But God willing it was his time to depart. It is very sad reading and hearing about what has happened. Here at the Babbling Bee & Rich Cartels we just want everyone to be aware of all safety precautions in anything that you are participating; although it may be very normal to you. Death is a sad thing that is very hard to deal with. May Kile's memory live on as Ms.Raymond buried her son early to day. We are not sure if Usher attended, I a more sure he did to pay his respect. To everyone out there make sure daily you let your love ones know how much you love them. Take every safety precaution even the little ones that you may feel that does not make sense.

Shop lifters

Okay so the economy is bad, so that means everybody is suppose to start stealing? Shop lifters piss me off. Us normal people work everyday hours in order to buy the things we need and want, so what makes you think your exempt from it? When I was a kid my and we did anything we were not suppose to do my mom would scold and punish us too the max that we never did anything we were not suppose to do. She always make it very clear you steal, "I'm letting you stay in jail." That scared my brothers and I so much that we did not even want to go in a store without her. Now-a-days kids are stealing everything from gum to gel to money to clothes and everything they can get their hand on. The list goes on. As a parent nip the stealing in the bid, talk too your kids let them know the danger of stealing and the affect it will have on you throughout your life. Things like that follow you for a very long time. My theory is if you stop them young you'll them from a life time of cops and jail.



How to spot a shop lifter taken from About

Spends more time watching the cashier or sales clerk than actually shopping.

Wears bulky, heavy clothing during warm weather or coats when unnecessary.

Walks with short or unnatural steps, which may indicate that they are concealing lifted items.

Takes several items into dressing room and only leaves with one item.

Seems nervous and possibly picks up random items with no interest.

Frequently enters store and never makes a purchase.

Enters dressing room or rest rooms with merchandise and exits with none.

Large group entering the store at one time, especially juveniles. A member of the group causes a disturbance to distract sales staff.

Animal Cruelty

I was never a fan of animals, but after a while they started to grow on me. Why get a pet if you are not going to take care of it? Throughout the last few days I have been witnessing some things that are in a sense not "kosher". Dogs are my favorite and they are a mans best friend.  As I was contemplating doing this blog I just had to get it off my chest, because the anger that was in me, was ridiculous. We all know I am the first too rant about who did what and why, but for identity purposes I can not right now. But I want to make it known the everyone if you have pets or know any one who has animals and are mistreating them, it is a crime and get them help. Animals may not be human and be able to talk, but they communicate with us on different levels. At the end of the day they are still breathing and they can feel. If you can not or do not want to take care of your pet call and or locate you local pound and drop them off. If the pounds are not around you locate a Pet smart, Petco or your local pet store and ask them about animal drop off.

The Babbling Cartels wants to help protect all pets and animals. Email babblingbee@babblingcartels.com for more information.

Happy Birthday to One of Our Fave Bee's Wendy Raquel Robinson!

Happy 45th Birthday to one of our favorite badd Bee's Wendy Raquel Robinson. When I was younger, I wanted to be an actress because of Wendy and her role on "The Steve Harvey Show" where she played Regina "Piggy" Grier. Over the years, Wendy has starred in several TV shows, movies, and plays and each character she plays definitely seems real and authentic. To date, my favorite role of hers is Tasha Mack on BET's "The Game". I absolutely love this woman, and this is her birthday tribute from the Babbling Bees!

And might I add, the woman looks DAMN GOOD for her age!

Beliefs and Being Correct-Chick-Fil-A

Listening to the radio this morning was very disturbing in a sense. Before I even start let me pose this question. Would your beliefs stop you from supporting certain type of people business wise? Ah-yeah I think I framed it the right way. Well onto the news The president of Chick-fil-A, a fast food restaurant home of the waffle fries and the best chicken sandwich's, has come out against lesbian and gay marriages. Chick-Fil-A has over 1,600 restaurants and gross over four billion dollars. All of Chick-Fil-A locations are closed on Sunday, for religious purposes.

• VIA-Yahoo:News, Dylan Stableford "I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,'" Dan Cathy, the company's president and chief operating officer, said in a recent radio interview. "I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about."

A lot of people say that they will no longer eat at Chick-Fil-A because of their beliefs. We live in America land of the free. I have mixed emotions about this. You are entitled to feel and take action upon what you believe in. But you should also pick and choose you battles. There are somethings that even though you feel strongly about that you should not make too public. Ah yes I do agree it is your constitutional right. But although there are lesbian and gay people . They are human too. On another hand I must respect Chick-Fil-A for speaking up against there beliefs and standing up for what they believe. I neither disagree nor agree with their beliefs, I am  just not sure if  their outright actions were correct. They are also loosing business because schools have decided not too have them on the campus because they do not support the lesbian and gay communities; where these schools are diverse. But having the courage to speak out against something that you feel is morally wrong, shows bravery.

Disclaimer: In no way am in support of Chick-Fil-A beliefs. I have respect and respect people of all races, nationality, gender, religion and or sexual orientation. I will not comment or give my beliefs on certain situations due to the nature of not sounding cruel or rude or offensive to any of our readers. I SUPPORT EVERY ONE!

But, her husband as a point she is always late ''pre-madonna''. The scenes from next week show she is going to fire him. Morally I understand why he is upset no one likes getting fired or rejection. But it may help the arguments and the fights they have been having. FAMILY & BUSINESS???

The strong thing will be to leave him for good. My point is no matter what he does she will take him back under some circumstance so my problem is just deal with his cheating. Understand you are the main chick and there are also side chicks. LMAO. Guys I do not mean to be harsh, but if its obvious your going to keep taking him back; then cut out all the arguing and fighting when you find out about another GIRL.
Joseline- I have no words for you. But I did like your single heard it on your site! lol NEXT
Lil Scrappy---I was such a huge fan until I saw this episode. If your not making money like you use to, and you have a daughter, then someone needs to take care of her. Erica did not leave you alone she made sure you were taken care off. That's a boss chick handling your business but still making sure her family is okay. She went too work BIG DEAL. Pay her for the day she would of taken off. For the most part no relationship will ever work if your always a mamas BOY! They are not always right even though she  may be giving you advice with a kind heart.

Awww: Dennis Rodman Finally Meets His Estranged Father

After 42 years of separation, former NBA player Dennis Rodman has met his father. Rodman's father, Philander Jr., who has acknowledged fathering 29 children by 16 mothers, says he was happy and surprised that his son agreed to meet him late Wednesday. He tried to meet the basketball Hall of Famer during another game in Manila in 2006.

The two met up after an exhibition game in the Phillipines in which Rodman played with other former NBA players such as Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, and Mitch Richmond.

The older Rodman said his son didn't even want to talk about him six years ago, but he was encouraged to try again to meet him after Tuesday's press conference where Dennis invited him to watch Wednesday's game.

''I don't hate the guy that brought me into this world,'' Dennis Rodman told reporters. ''The fact is, if I saw him, I'll just tell him, `You know, you're a friend of mine.'''

During a break, with seconds left to the end of the game, Dennis Rodman grabbed a microphone acknowledged his father's presence and pointed to him in the arena.

The crowd applauded as the elder Rodman stood up wearing a red baseball cap that said ''Yes, Dennis Rodman is my son.'' The 71-year-old Vietnam War veteran now operates the Rodman's Rainbow Obamaburger restaurant in northern Angeles City. He said his restaurant menu includes burgers with red, yellow and green colored buns and fries, colors associated with his flamboyant son.

Jersey's first Online Charter School Delayed a Year

The great state of Jersey is known for many things but very few of them are good. But here's one more to add to the roster of good things; New Jersey plans to start their first online charter school.

However, the state Department of Education today announced approval of nine new charter schools for September, but said the New Jersey Virtual Academy Charter School, a full-time online charter school, would instead be given a "planning" year to further develop "academic and operational components."

However, two offering a mix of online and traditional learning did receive approval. Both Newark Prep and Merit Preparatory of Newark Charter School intend to offer "blended" learning in a school setting, Newark Prep serving high school students, and Merit Prep starting by enrolling sixth-graders.
Another full-time virtual school, Monmouth County-based New Jersey Virtual Charter School, requested an additional planning year, as did Merit Preparatory of Trenton, also a blended school.
Seven "regular" charter schools were also approved to open in September, following a final "preparedness" review. This will bring the state total of charter schools 86.
"We must hold a high bar for any school that serves New Jersey students," said acting Education Commissioner Christopher Cerf.
Debate over virtual charter schools has been building up steam in the state in recent months. Eight education advocacy groups last week wrote to Cerf opposing approval of virtual schools, raising objections from the cost, to the fact they say the state does not have legislative authority to approve online charters under existing law.
"This new form of charter school was never contemplated, and has never been authorized, by the Legislature," said the letter signed by the Newark-based Education Law Center, New Jersey Education Association, the New Jersey School Boards Association and five other organizations.
They also warned of "educational chaos" if virtual schools are approved and "the agency’s actions are later determined by the courts to be unlawful."
The New Jersey Virtual Academy Charter School had been recruiting students for months and intended to open this fall for 850 students in grades K-10, according to Jeff Kwitowski, a spokesman at Virginia-based K12, a for-profit online learning company. The company would contract to provide curriculum and other services at the school.
The Virtual Academy school board would be headed by Michael Pallante, former principal of Robert Treat Academy charter school in Newark.
"Parents want school options for their children," Kwitowski said. "It’s not for every student, but it can be a great option for many kids."
Pallante could not be reached for comment today.
K12 , however, is expected to provide curriculum and services to Newark Prep.
Other attempts have been made to slow down virtual schools in New Jersey. A bill proposing a one-year moratorium on virtual charters was passed by the Assembly last month, but no similar action took place in the Senate.
Assembly Education Chairman Patrick Diegnan, (D-Middlesex), today noted that while the "blended" schools are moving ahead, the planning year buys some time. "Let’s hope calmer minds will prevail, and have a thorough review of the entire issue," he said.
Other charter schools approved to open in September are City Invincible and Knowledge A to Z, both in Camden; Thomas Edison Energy Charter School, in Franklin Township, North Brunswick and South Brunswick; Beloved Charter School in Jersey City; Paulo Freire Charter School and 100 Legacy in Newark; and Benjamin Banneker in Willingboro.
A total 13 schools were given planning years, and 10 were denied approval. Among those turned down were Princeton International Academy in the Princeton area, and Shalom Academy in Teaneck.

Sorry guys

I am sorry I haven't forget to blog about my take on this weeks love and hip hop!!! Ohhhh child we have a lot to discuss and my opinions!!

Can you "unjunk" candy? It's so unreal or is it?

I have the biggest sweet tooth ever. When I'm at work I always find myself buying a candy bar. But, recently I have seen a new candy bar that imitates snickers, milk way , Twix , peanut butter cups and all of our favorite candy. It claims to be better for you if you ate going to snack with out all of the corn syrup, hydrogenated fats, GMOs, artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. They also use gluten-free ingredients to make it. I was very skeptical to try it after I tried the alternative to Oreos. I didn't want to be disappointed lol I'm a fat girl at heart. But I tried it and too my surprise it is amazing. I definitely suggest that you try it. It only has about 200 calories where as most candy bars have 280 and up. It's also only available at CVS.
It's a tasty treat that has an incredible addicting taste. You should definitely try. I will post the nutrition facts later and compare it to other candy bars when I blog later!

The Burger King Foot in Lettuce Photo

If you know me, you know I lovesssssss me some Burger King; a whopper with cheese and a mango smoothie ALWAYS hits the spot. So if you're a fan like me, then I know you're gone be PISSED when you read this post.

Some disgusting ass Burger King employee in Mayfield Heights, Ohio thought it'd "cute" and "funny" to take a picture of someone standing in the bins of lettuce with their filthy ass shoes and then post the picture on the website 4chan. -__-

According to digitallife.today.msnbc.msn.com;
Mere moments after the photo was first posted, some 4Chan users identified the Burger King location at which it must've been taken. (The individual who posted the photo apparently forgot to strip it of its geo-location tags.)

4Chan users, apparently disturbed by the prospect of shoe dirt in their Whoppers, began calling the Burger King in question, and forwarding the photo to local news outlets.

The folks at Cleveland.com were among the FIRST to make a report about the incident after the Mayfield Heights Facebook page that they run was bombarded with posts in regards to this feet-in-the-lettuce picture.

Bryson Thornton, director of global communications for Burger King, confirmed to me that the photo was indeed taken at a Burger King location, though he clarified that it happens to be "independently owned and operated by a Burger King franchisee."
"The franchisee has taken swift action to investigate this matter and terminated the three employees involved in the incident," he said, after giving me a standard statement, which I suspect was painful to draft:

Burger King Corp. has recently been made aware of a photo that shows a Burger King restaurant employee violating the company’s stringent food handling procedures. Food safety is a top priority at all Burger King restaurants and the company maintains a zero-tolerance policy against any violations such as the one in question.

I hate to cuss in this post but y'all know I don't play when it comes to my money, my kids, and my food and this motherlover SERIOUSLY violated... They lucky they butts wasn't in Jersey because I woulda tore that place down.

Mother & Son Caught Doing the Naaaaaasty

NOTE: The following post was originally seen on KimoraCochran.com. We have pasted the report in our post to give you background on the situation whereas our opinions on the issue will be placed on the bottom.

According to Ottawa news, a 53-year-old woman and her 35-year-old son pleaded guilty to incest Thursday after the daughter of the woman/sister of the son caught them having sex. To add insult to injury, their father/husband laid dying in another room of the home at the time.

The court heard that on May 14, 2010, the brother and sister, along with their mother, were visiting their dying father’s Byward Market apartment.

The sister stepped out on a balcony to have a cigarette and happened to look through a window into a bedroom.

She saw her brother having sex with her mother, whose skirt was hiked up around her waist.

“I’m going to refrain from making any moral comments or moral evaluation of your conduct,” Judge Paul Belanger told the woman.

“I think your conduct speaks for itself, particularly as a mother. I’m going to leave the opprobrium to your own conscience.

The mother and son each received a suspended sentence and probation, according to The Kenyan Daily Post.



Obviously, this woman is not a REAL mother because no real mother has sex with their child. On top of being incest, that is just morally wrong. With all the males in the world, the one you choose to open your legs to and have sex with is your own son? Bitch, you BOTH need to get the chair.

Teyana Taylor is a native of Harlem, NY, she sings and raps. She came out with her single "Google me" when she was signed to Inter scope recording label, which only reached #90 on the billboards. Just in June she signed a contract with Kanye West "Good Music" and The Island Def Jam music group. Her celebration party is where Drake and Chris Brown had there "Blows". We have yet to see what comes from this Harlem Songstress.

So until then get your work out on ladies.

Headin' to Court: Jay-Z Sued over Roc-a-Fella Logo

My oh my what a tangled web we weave...

Jay-Z and his Roc-a-Fella camp are headed to court over their precious Roc-a-Fella symbol that we all know and love. The symbol which depicts the letter "R" in front of an black record and a bottle of bubbly are the center of this suit filed by Bronx clothing designer, Dwayne Walker. He is suing the Roc for $7 million in unpaid royalties for the logo which he claims he designed.

In a copyright infringement suit filed in Manhattan Federal Court on Thursday, Dwayne Walker says he created the design.
“The logo has become universally recognized as an iconic symbol of Jay-Z, one of the most successful recording artists in the history of popular music,” the suit says.

It says Walker came up with the logo in 1995 when Roc-A-Fella was just starting out. The label is now a subsidiary of Universal Music Group.

The suit says Walker saw what label co-founder Damon Dash had in mind for the logo and said he could do better.

Okay, so y'all know I hate speaking out of term and everything but umm, dude, why'd you let 10+ years go by without trying to collect your dollars? But don't worry folks, I got a feeling big brother Hov gone have this mess settled outta court at an undisclosed amount. It's nothing.

Next case please!

Love and hip hop

Love and hip hop the crazy-mess reality show is on tonight. I will definitely be blogging about it afterwards. Something about this show just screams fake to me. I know, no reality show is 100% real but, really though? The things do for tv!! Will be back soon to share my thoughts about it.

Locked Up!: Young Buck Sentenced to 3-Years

Yoo hooooo! Who remembers former Cash Money/UTP/G-Unit signee, Young Buck? Famous for beefing with artists and then working with them later on? (ie. the HIGHLY publicized G-Unit beef with former groupmate Game in which both camps took shots at one another and then Buck later appeared in a Game video). Well today, I'm not here to tell you Buck's taking shots at anyone but he will however be dropping a new address soon -- most likely cell block C.

Yesterday, Buck was sentenced to serve three years in prison on weapons charges. Back in August of 2010, the IRS did a raid on Buck's home in which they found a .40 caliber Glock 22 and ammunition. Although the raid was carried out on the grounds that followed reports that the rapper had an outstanding $300,000 tax debt, Buck is convicted felon and he is prohibited from having ANY kind of firearms.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, when will you folks with records learn?

Erika Alexander Co-Writes a Graphic Comic with a Black Heroine

Remember Erika Alexander who played Maxine Shaw, attorney at law from the 90's TV show Living Single? Well refamiliarize yourself because she's got big plans on the horizion.

Erika Alexander, along with her hubby Tony Lyga and her brother, Robert, they have developed a graphic comic with a black heroine called "Concrete Park." The main characters are women of color: Luca, a gang leader, and Lena, her lesbian lover. The novels will feature a cast of different backgrounds who are all struggling to survive in an increasingly depraved world. The backdrop for Concrete Park, is set in the a dangerous near-future where gangs threaten to destroy humanity.

I don't know how you guys feel about this but I think it sounds great. I hope it doesn't disappoint because I will definitely be snatching up an issue when it releases.

Pointing Fingers: Motorcycle Escort Said He'd Shoot the First Lady

According to GlobalGrind.com, the assassination attempt on First Lady Michelle Obama has been stopped.

According to the Washington Post, the officer works as a motorcycle escort and is alleged to have said he would shoot the First Lady. He is said to have shown his fellow officers a photo of a gun that he would use.
The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department didn't have many details on the situation, but spokeswoman Gwendolyn Crump said in a statement:

"We received an allegation that inappropriate comments were made. We are currently investigating the nature of those comments."

The Department has also contacted the Secret Service about the potential threat.
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said the agency is "aware of the incident" and is "taking the appropriate follow up steps" with an investigation.

Okay, so umm, I'm not an expert or anything and I hate to involve myself in politics BUT shouldn't that escort be charged with treason, attempted murder and sent to prison for LIFE!

Controversy: Target Won't Sell Frank Ocean's 'Channel Orange'

Oooooooh, messy messy messy. Retail giant Target will not be selling Frank Ocean's 'Channel Orange' album. Reps for the store claim it is strictly a business decision but I think it's bullshit. We all know, Frank came out recently and told the public that he was once in love with a man and that some of his music was written with a man in mind. However, Target claims that is not why they won't be selling Ocean's album.

Target representatives say the decision not to sell the album is a reaction to iTunes' one-week exclusive which would mean all stores would lose out on first week sales. I hate to be judgemental but something doesn't seem right.

According to the HuffingtonPost.com, the brand (Target) has a complicated history with the LGBT community. Target first faced a strong backlash after donating a whopping $150,000 to MN Forward, a group that was backing Tom Emmer's gubernatorial bid in Minnesota. Emmer was known for being especially conservative and not supporting equal rights for LGBT citizens. At the time, Target Corp.'s CEO Gregg Steinhafel said the company was merely championing a candidate who would be an advocate for its business interests. He apologized at a later date.

Well readers, what do you think? The Babbling Bee's are dying to hear your take on this.

Locked Up: Rapper Beanie Sigel to do a bid

Who doesn't remember former Roc-a-Fella rapper and 'actor', Beanie Sigel? Back in the day, Bean man was part of the Dame Dash Music Group/Roc-a-Fella powerhouse with other artists such as Memphis Bleek, Freeway and Jay-Z. However, I am not blogging today to brief you on his resume although he does have a new road he's embarking on... And it's called jail.

Today, a federal judge sentenced Bean man to two years behind bars for failing to file tax returns for the years 2003 through 2005. What is up with celebrities not paying they damn taxes?! Also, IRS investigators found that Sigel did not file tax returns from 1999 through 2002, except for a $10,000 tax payment in 2001. Federal prosecutors said that Sigel earned more than $2.2 million in taxable income between 1999 and 2005 and owed Uncle Sam $728,536 for those six years. (However he was not charged with tax offenses for the years 1999 through 2002 because the statute of limitations had expired.)

As Lady Luck would have it, Beanie is scheduled to drop another album next month but now that may be on hold. I suggest he create a documentary a la Lil' Kim that way he can build himself a cushion so that ass won't end back up in the slammer. Just my opinion though; what do I know, I'm just a writer =)
