Jay-Z and Beyonce’s Beybies

The wait for Beyonce and Jay-Z’s twin “Beybies” is finally over. US Weekly confirmed that Beyonce gave birth to her twins earlier this week.

The sex of the twins was kept a secret, with some fans speculating if former President Obama had unintentionally revealed the gender of the twins in a tribute to the iconic couple of the music industry by laying out blue and pink balloons shaped like baby feet. The couple gave birth to a baby boy and baby girl at a local Los Angeles Hospital.

The Cosby Case Mistrial

Judge Steven T. O’Neil declared a mistrial in the sexual assault case of comedian Bill Cosby. The mistrial was declared after jurors reported being stalemated despite six days of debate and that their results were inconclusive. Following the declaration of a mistrial, District Attorney Kevin R. Steele made a solemn promise to put Cosby back on trial again.

The mistrial denied a final verdict to the dozens of women that accused Cosby of decades of heinous sexual acts. The panel of jurors debated evidence for up to 12 hours a day, but could not reach a unanimous verdict on Cosby’s alleged actions against Andrea Constand.
