Celebrity News

Beyoncé was cited on May 5, 2016 and was caught

attempting to thwart (to prevent someone from

accomplishing something) speculation about her marriage

with Jay Z. Even though she shouted out to her hubby Jay

Z during the first night of her Formation World Tour on

Wednesday, it didn't stop the alarms from sounding when

people noticed the power couple had removed their

wedding rings. Photographed backstage during the show,

Beyoncé was notably missing her $5 million diamond rock.

Some might say she was taking extra precautions while

performing. However, the timing is a little too coincidental

in relation to all the speculation surrounding the topic of

infidelity on Lemonade an album Beyoncé had released

on April 23, 2016 that’s talks about her relationship with

Jay Z. After the release of Beyoncé Lemonade album over

the weekend, cheating started flying. Especially after fans

heard the cryptic Lyrics on the visual album. But it looks

like the couple of Jay Z and Beyoncé are still going strong

because they were just spotted together in Miami. Photos

show the couple sitting on the back of a golf cart together

at Marlins Park, where Beyoncé is currently rehearsing for

The Formation World Tour. After all this drama, Beyoncé

and Jay Z had decided to remove their wedding rings but

they will still be the close friends.

Now that we got in the latest Beyoncé news lets switch it

up to sports. Dee Gordon, the reigning National League

Batting Champion and an All-Star second baseman for

the Miami Marlins, was suspended for 80 games because

he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Major

League Baseball announced the suspension after the

Marlins’ victory in Los Angeles, saying that Gordon had

tested positive for exogenous testosterone and clostebol.

Eight days before the MLB announced his suspension

there was a same case for a player coming off the best

season of his career. On April 22, Chris Colabello, an

undrafted former independent leaguer who hit .321 for the

Toronto Blue Jays last season, was also suspended for 80

games. Last season, though, Gordon hit .333 — 61 points

above his career average as a Dodger — and also led the

league in stolen bases and hits while winning a Gold

Glove. The Marlins rewarded him with a five-year, $50

million contract in January, although he was to make just

$3 million this season. He will not be paid during the

suspension. Gordon, who dropped his appeal after

Thursday’s April 28 game — in which he drove in the

tying run as the Marlins completed a four-game sweep of

the Dodgers — issued a statement through the Players’

Association Friday morning. He denied using banned

drugs on purpose.
