A simple and affectionate black and white photograph with “Congratulations” written across the image was the message Beyoncé posted on her Tumblr page on Monday (June 17) in recognition of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s newborn baby girl.

“Congratulations Kim & Kanye, enjoy this beautiful moment together,” the “Grown Woman” singer typed to the new parents.

There’s no word on what Kim and Kanye have decided to name their child, but the pair might stick with the “K” theme from Kim’s side of the family.

Serena Williams is indeed the “Queen of the Court” as she continues to add intricately crafted trophies to her collection. Since taking home her first French Open win in 2002 (cue platinum blonde braid extensions) and returning to the clay court 11 years later to win her second title (June 8), her triumph at Roland Garros proved more inspiring and significant than others. Check out these five reasons to see why.

1. The longevity of her sporting career.

Serena has been recorded numerous times stating she still has many years ahead of her and her game will continue to improve. It’s safe to say the best has yet to come with this tennis star.

2. The California native remains a role model for the African American Community.

Since breaking onto the scene with her first singles win at the 1999 U.S. Open, Serena has proved to be a groundbreaking athlete and a role model for African American women across the country as she overcame adversity and stayed focused on her goals.

3. Serena Williams’ age is record-breaking as well.

Beyoncé wrote it best. At the age of 31, Serena Williams is in her prime, accomplishing another feat in her growing yet solidified tennis career. She joins the ranks of Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert who’ve won major titles in their thirties.

4. Sixteen Grand Slam titles continue to prove her icon status.

By winning her second French Open title (and giving her acceptance speech in French), Serena showed her will power and perseverance to go out and get what you’ve worked for.

5. Serena Williams gives the saying “practice makes perfect” true meaning.

Despite all the controversy from spectators and opponents to losing the match for the title in 2012, Serena hit the naysayers’ comments to the ground as hard as her 120 mph serve and took home the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen trophy. Her consulting coach Patrick Mouratoglou said, “For Serena, nothing is out of reach. If she really wants something, it’s very difficult to stop her.”

The 22-year-old was shot and killed by a Bay Area police officer on January 1, 2009 at the Frutivale BART station in Oakland, Calif. after him and his three friends were arrested and detained at the train stop. He was unarmed and died after doctors took Grant off a breathing machine. His untimely death sparked protests across the country and, subsequently, this emotional Ryan Coogler-directed film.

Fruitvale takes viewers on a journey through Oscar Grant’s last day before his murder. Check out this list of 5 reasons why you should watch this movie when it hits theaters July 12.

1. The acting is superb.

With Michael B. Jordan at the forefront portraying Oscar Grant, his supporting cast, from Octavia Spencer as Oscar’s mother Wanda Johnson to Chad Michael Murray’s small but significant police officer role, will give viewers an emotional and captivating performance.

2. The back-story of Fruitvale is eye-opening.

This film reveals another side of Grant, depicting his responsibility as a good father to turning down selling drugs to earn a honest wage.

3. The movie will leave you in a reflective state of mind.

Sniffling and shuffling to find a Kleenex tissue provided the soundtrack for the movie at its most compelling and silent moments. The timeline of events, from the opening scene to the cell phone footage of Oscar’s shooting, doesn’t prepare you for how the movie would end, even if you already know.

4. Oscar and his daughter Tatiana display a heartwarming relationship.

One of the main highlights of Frutivale Station is Oscar’s interaction with his precocious and inquisitive daughter Tatiana (Ariana Neal). Filled with “aww” moments, this is one of the many sides the movie depicts on the California native.

5. Perfect for a great discussion.

Oscar Grant’s story added to the list of unjustly murdered and cracked open the ongoing issue of police brutality in certain communities. This movie will allow that discussion again.

It’s that time of the summer season again.

]The 2013 NBA Finals shoots into action tonight (June 6) at 8 p.m. on ABC so that means a few more weeks left of basketball before you get your significant other back. But more importantly, a team will be the victor of the Larry O’Brien trophy. The match-up between the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat will be an event to keep your eyes glued to, even if you’re not a fan of the sport or can’t stand your partner flailing their arms at every referee whistle blow or want your evenings to not be spent in front of the television.

Read these facts to make the series that more interesting and drop some ball knowledge during game time to leave the boys speechless.

1) Tracy McGrady Could Win His First Ever Championship Title

T-Mac has remained a humble yet forceful spirit on the court since being drafted by the Toronto Raptors from high school in 1997. Like other classic NBA players, current and retired (Carl Malone, George Gervin, Dominique Wilkins), McGrady hasn’t tasted the sweet texture of victory after winning a Championship title, but this series could change it all given his consideration of retirement after this season. The two-time scoring victor will perform in his first Finals appearance in his 16-year playing career. Drop those facts for amazement.

2) The Spurs Have A Veteran Big 3 Against The Heat

The Spurs’ Big Three reigns supreme in San Antonio with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili playing their positions. With 98 postseason wins, this trio will be the ultimate match-up against Dwayne Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh as this will mark Duncan and James’ second Finals meet-up since his stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2007.

3) East vs. West

For more stats, the Eastern Conference division has racked up 35 series wins to the Western Conference’s 27. Can the Spurs add another digit to the West’s wins in Playoff history or will the Heat make it 36?

4) The Heat Have A History Of Leading The Series

In the 2012’s Finals game between Miami and Oklahoma City Thunder, Miami finished the series 4-1, seeing clearly into the reflection of the Larry O’Brien trophy. The Spurs have a polished record in the Finals as well having a 4-0 stat. An epic Game 7 might land on the game bracket.

5) Spurs’ Coach Gregg Popovich and Heat’s Erik Spoelstra Statistics

Both coaches have a championship ring (or two) but with some of the most powerful and popular players in the league, it’ll be interesting to see who takes home the ‘ship. The two-time Coach of the Year, Popovich, hosts four rings to Spoelstra’s two jewel pieces, and with a dominate-offensive Spurs to a defense-mastered Heat grab a beer, a bowl of popcorn and take a seat next to your man for an eventful night.

At the 6^th Annual Roots Picnic 2013 (June 1), Solange Knowles showed off her new locs on stage. Known for jazzing up the box-braid hairstyle, the “Losing You” singer decided to literally put a twist on the hairdo. Just like her creative fashion choices, this hairstyle added to the singer’s eclectic demeanor.

Check out this list of seven styles the “Looks Good With Trouble” performer has done so far.

The high bun is a great way to still standout but also assists with getting the hair off your back, particularly ideal for a hot summer evening.

You can even throw in some spice to this hairstyle by adding a head band for some added color.

Rocking her braids to one side is a sleek idea. Depending on how long the braids are, this creation can display its length unlike the previous style.

Unravel the bun atop your head and let your tresses hang low in this high ponytail.

However, if you don’t want to go old-school and rock a side ponytail, separate the strands evenly in the middle of your head as Solange did above.

Head scarves or turbans are in (as always) this season so rock an African-print inspired wrap like this to add to your look.

Or if you prefer animal print, show your cheetah side with a hair accessory similar to this one.

Penelope Cruz may become the first Spanish Bond girl.

The James Bond franchise is looking to get the cameras rolling for Bond 24 and contacted the 39-year-old actress to assume the sensual role. In addition to being the first Spanish woman to act this iconic role, the Oscar-winner steam will also be the oldest to fill the position.

Sources relayed to Ace Showbiz that “producers have tried to get Penelope before, but she has never been available because of other commitments. The discussions have been going on for some time and they are working out the contract details now.”

British actor Daniel Craig will return as Agent 007 for the 2016.
