Jay-Z and Solange Knowles Reconcile Via Predictably Bland Press Release

All is well again in Beyoncéland as Jay-Z and Solange Knowles do the superstar version of kissing and making up by issuing the most bland, sterile public statement a PR consultant could possibly craft. At least they acknowledge they did have an elevator fight. Here's the statement:

"As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it," reads a joint statement issued to the Associated Press Thursday. "Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family."

The statement continues:

'Fantastic Beasts,' J.K. Rowling's Upcoming Potter-Universe Movie Gets a Release Date

Two-and-a-half years isn't so long to wait, right? That's how long it'll be until J.K. Rowling's new Harry Potter-universe movie, Fantastic Beasts, will hit theaters. The release is now officially scheduled for November 18, 2016, just two days after the 15th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

As we've detailed before, Fantastic Beasts will follow the adventures of Newt Scamander, a magizoologist whose most famous book, Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them, was required reading for Harry, Ron, and Hermione at Hogwarts. The movie, which will likely be the first of three, will be set in the late '20s or early '30s, some 70s years before the events of the first Potter book.

Senate opposes negotiation with Boko Haram; Senate President, David Mark, on Tuesday insisted that the Federal Government would not negotiate with the Boko Haram insurgents for release of the over 200 school girls abducted in Chibok, Borno State on April 14.

The leader of the sect, Abubakar Shekau, had in a video message released on Monday and showing the abducted girls for the first time since their abduction, vowed that the girls would only be released if government agrees to swap them for detained members of the group in various cells across the country.
Shekau had said: “These are the girls abducted by our fighters and whose release the Nigerian government has been calling for. We won’t release them to you and you can’t take them away from us no matter how you try.

McCain: Send U.S. troops to rescue kidnapped girls in Nigeria

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., wants to see more than hashtag messages voicing displeasure over the abduction of nearly 300 Nigerian schoolgirls by the terrorist group Boko Haram. He wants to see U.S. troops go into Nigera and rescue the girls, even if it means doing so without permission from the Nigerian government.

‘If they knew where they were, I certainly would send in U.S. troops to rescue them, in a New York minute I would, without the permission of the host country,’ McCain said Tuesday. Referring to Nigeria’s president, McCain added: ‘I wouldn’t be waiting for some kind of permission from some guy named Goodluck Jonathan.’

VIDEO: Jay Z PHYSICALLY ATTACKED by Beyonce's Sister Solange

MOBILE VIDEO DOWNLOAD 

On Monday morning, TMZ posted one of their most shocking video exclusives to date: A minute-long confrontation between Solange Knowles and her brother-in-law, Jay Z, in an elevator at New York City's Standard Hotel.

The fight, which went down sometime after last week's star-studded Met Gala, appears pretty one-sided: Solange swipes and kicks at Jay Z as a bodyguard struggles to hold her back. Jay Z is never shown hitting back, although he does at one point grab Solange's foot. Beyoncé, meanwhile, seems strikingly calm through the whole ordeal, at one point pausing to adjust the train on her Givenchy gown.

It's completely nuts.

Nigerian Govt Has Pictures and Identities Of Abducted Chibok Girls; I Dare The Govt To Disown My List

When he released the list of abducted Chibok girls last week, Evangelist Matthew Owojaiye, caused more than a stir. The Kaduna-based founder of Food for the Total Man Ministry spoke with newsmen on why he released the list and the insurgency challenges in the north. Sunday Oguntola was there. Excerpts:

Last Sunday, you jolted the nation by releasing names of some of the abducted girls. Let’s start by asking you why?

Actually some people are even saying nobody was abducted, as if the story was cooked up. Can you imagine that? If your daughter was abducted and there is no trace three weeks after, how will you feel? Then someone comes to say there was no abduction. And that it was only from one local government that the girls on the list came from, just Chibok local government. That is where the school is located. Other people from other places sent their children to the school. We couldn’t get their names because we had no way to.

Is that why you had only 180 names of the kidnapped girls on the list?

#BringBackOurGirls: VIDEO: Nigeria’s Government Acting Like Children – Wole Soyinka

Professor Wole Soyinka in an interview with CNN’s Amanpour said that the search for the over 200 abducted Chibok girls is now ‘beyond the capacity’ of the Nigerian government. Still on the same interview aired yesterday, the Nobel Laurette said, “This is a government which is not only in denial mentally, but in denial about certain obvious steps to take.” He went further to state that ““It’s one of those rather child-like situations that if you shut your eyes, if you don’t exhibit the tactile evidence of the missing humanity here, that somehow the problem will go away.” The professor also said that Nigeria’s president Jonathan and his advisers are in denial about the issue.
