According to reports, Jay Z and Solange were spotted shopping for jewelry together yesterday May 13th in NYC. If they've already reconciled, then it means this behaviour between them is common.
From TMZ
Jay Z and Solange Knowles went looking for jewelry together Tuesday afternoon at a high-end NYC jewelry store ... TMZ has learned.
Our sources says Jay and Solange were in Mr. Flawless, where they were looking for women's jewelry for around 20 minutes.
We're told the pair showed no signs of strife, and looked at gems with Mr. Flawless himself. They looked, but tried nothing on. They left the store without buying anything.
Jay & Solange didn't talk much inside the store ... they pretty much just browsed quietly.

Solange deletes all but one pic of Beyoncé from her Instagram page
Solange has deleted all of Beyoncé's pictures from her instagram page leaving only one picture which she uploaded over a year ago that shows herself, Beyonce and a friend in a happy mood. (pic above). Whether she deliberately left the pic on the page or it was an oversight is unclear.
What is also unclear is when exactly Solange removed all the pics. It was definitely after the attack on Jay Z on Monday night but it's not clear if it was before or after the video was released by TMZ yesterday. Some sites are reporting she took them down before we all knew what happened, while some say they observed she took them down immediately after the video was released. Solange has also not tweeted since the video was leaked.

Actress Angela Okorie's husband has reacted to the recent sex/theft scandal involving his wife. In an interview with Encomium magazine this week, Chukwuma Orizu, said he is not disturbed by all the allegations flying around about his wife. He said his marriage to the actress is still intact and nobody can put them asunder.
"First of all I know everything about my wife's movement in South Africa. We talked every minute that day. I laughed because I know my wife didn't do it. I know they just want to tarnish her image. A lot of people have been calling me and saying all sorts of things and I told them that I know my wife very well and she didn't do all they said against her. I know all they want is to break our marriage but I am sorry to disappoint them. Please my marriage is very much intact. Remember what the bible said" What God has joined together, let no man put asunder". So I can't chase my wife away because
of mere rumor from people who don't know her more than I do" he said

The real Abubakar Shekau is dead - SSS Spokesperson
At a briefing this evening with newsmen in Abuja following the release of a new video by Boko Haram showing kidnapped Chibok girls, spokesperson of the State Security Service (SSS), Ms Marilyn Ogar said the man in the video claiming to be Abubakar Shekau is not really Abubakar Shekau, that the real Shekau who is believed to have founded the dreaded sect, is dead
"Boko Haram has become a franchise, anybody can assume and lay claim to any name. What I know is that the original Abubakar Shekau is dead; the person claiming to be the national leader now is not the original Abubakar Shekau. If security sources tell you that somebody is dead, you don't have to come out and doubt that" she said.

Video: Beyonce's sister Solange physically attacks Jay Z, spits on him
Uh oh! Beyonce's sister Solange attacked Jay Z in an elevator...kicking, swinging at him and even spit on him and it was captured on surveillance video. They were trying to keep it quiet but TMZ has obtained the video. This is not good!
TMZ reports;
Jay Z was ferociously assaulted by Beyonce's sister Solange ... who was wildly kicking and swinging at him inside an elevator ... and the attack was captured on surveillance video ... obtained by TMZ.
According to our sources, it all went down at a Met Gala after party last week at the Standard Hotel in NYC. In the video ... Jay Z, Beyonce and Solange step into the elevator ... and then Solange goes crazy, screaming at Jay before unleashing a violent attack. A large man -- who appears to be a bodyguard -- attempts to hold Solange back, but she manages to connect at least 3 times. At one point Solange throws a kick and Jay grabs her foot, but never attempts to strike her. Beyonce stands by without getting physically involved. It's unclear what triggered the fight.
And this is interesting. When you look closely, you see the bodyguard hit the emergency stop switch on the 12th floor -- mid fight -- presumably to keep the fight private.
All three walked out of the building together -- Solange looks pissed -- but while Bey and Solange get in one car ... security walks Jay to a different one.

Breaking: Purported video from Boko Haram shows kidnapped girls

The purported Boko Haram 27-minute video shows the girls alive and together, wearing Islamic Hijab headdress and reciting portions of the Quran. Those who said they have seen the video, including CNN reporters, say it seems the girls were speaking under duress.
In the video, Boko Haram leader Shekau said he's willing to exchange the girls for its members in prison. The timeline of when the video was taken is unknown...MORE PIX AFTER CUT...
