Some fans believe former Destiny’s Child members are secretly are working on a collaboration.
Bey barely wrapped her “On the Run II” tour with JAY-Z and the rumors are already heating up over a potential secret joint project.
An Instagram account popped up on Monday (Oct. 15) with the name “Rose IV You.” It only follows five accounts, Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, Nicki Minaj, TIDAL, and Netflix. The first post is a video of a blooming rose and features a short clip of Beyoncé singing and laughing at the end.

The second post is simply a black background with “I.IV” typed in white.

Before that, Rowland posted a video to Instagram with a snippet of a song that mentions rose petals. “Back up off me, back up off me rose petals at my feet,” she sings.
While there is a possibility of a joint project, Kelly has been actively working on a solo album. Last August, she opened up about her first project since 2013’s Talk a Good Game, which was inspired by motherhood.
“I’m in this really glorious time in life where I feel like I’m receiving a lot of information and I feel like I have to give that back out, too,” she told Beats 1. “My theme is the extraordinary simple life of me. It doesn’t take a lot for me to be a happy girl. I like simple things. I like extraordinary things too, so I had to put that in there. It’s just a really colorful and beautiful record so far. I’m very excited,” she says.
As a fan of Destiny’s child and Beyonce I’ll be excited to hear that collab! Would love to see what these two have planned.

![[MUSIC] Ariana Grande says she’s ‘very sad’ after Pete Davidson split, annouces another social media break](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/4FC20C60-F2AE-422D-923E-E7B92B0ADE47.jpeg?resize=968%2C645&ssl=1)

For the first time Ariana Grande has spoken out since breaking up with her former fiancé, Pete Davidson.
Just two days after announcing their split, Grande took to Instagram to share with fans what she had been doing since the break up and what she planned to do going forward.
“Ok today was v special and i’m so grateful i was able to be there,” Grande began in her Instagram story message to fans, referring to her Tuesday taping of NBC’s “A Very Wicked Halloween,” celebrating the original cast of the hit Broadway musical with stars Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth.
But apart from her “Wicked” excitement, the young singer also took a moment to address her recent heartbreak and said, “Time to say bye bye again to the internet for just a lil bit. It’s hard not to bump news n stuff that I’m not trying to see rn. It’s very sad and we’re all tryin very hard to keep going. love u. and thank u for bein here always, according to VULTURE
Grande and Davidson shocked fans when they announced their split over the weekend. There was a lot that happen that affected the couples relationship. “The relationship was a lot, and Mac’s death hit her really hard because she tried to help him with his addiction — and the way social media personally attacked her was hard for her to deal with,” the source said.
“Pete did everything he could to be there for Ariana, but it was never going to be enough. Ariana was shouldering too much.”
Grande dealt with a lot from the passing of late rapper Mac Miller pasting of the late rapper Mac Miller and fans who attack her for his death, it was too much to handle. Grande, even went as far as canceling some appearances and tweeting a lot of personal messages to fans saying she needed a break and lamenting the negativity that was thrown her way. According to Us Weekly, she had pulled out of an appearance at a cancer benefit scheduled for this past Saturday for personal reasons.
What’s best for Grande is to take a long break not just from social media but her relationship. She needs time to gather herself. She needs to focus on herself. She’s jumping in and out of relationships so fast, and getting engaged only to not go through with the engagement.
What do you think about Ariana calling off the engagement and her taking another break from social media once again?

Jaguars, Titans, Bengals Fall In Power Rankings
In Week 6 of the NFL season we continued on with the tradition of having at least one game determined in overtime.
That game would be in South Florida as the Miami Dolphins edged the Chicago Bears 31-28 on a 47-yard kick by Jason Sanders.
For all of the ridicule that kickers have faced this season for missing kicks, kickers positively played a big role in Week 6.
Sanders was joined by Stephen Gostkowski and Mason Crosby as kickers who too hit game-winning field goals as time expired.
Gostkowski hit a huge 50-yard field goal in the fourth quarter vs the Kansas City Chiefs with a little over three minutes to play to give New England a touchdown lead.
How critical was Gostkowski’s field goal? Kansas City scored on their very first play from scrimmage on the next possession to tie the game but not take the lead.
Mason Crosby rebounded from missing five field goals last week by going 4-for-4. His 51-yard field goal in the third quarter may not have seemed like a big deal, but considering Green Bay’s offense scored one touchdown after the first quarter, Crosby’s ability to hit from distance was critical in the win.
This is all to say, leave our kickers alone and let’s pay a little more attention to the punters instead.
Here are my NFL Week 7 Power Rankings!
1. Los Angeles Rams (6-0)
The Rams did exactly what a warm weather team coming into a hostile environment with frigid temperatures should do. They ran the football down Denver’s throats with Todd Gurley rushing for a career-high 208 rushing yards.
2. New England Patriots (4-2)
The Patriots dominate teams in the first halves of games this season while at home. New England has now outscored their first four opponents at home 93-18 in the first half, a staggering +75 differential.
3. Kansas City Chiefs (5-1)
Kansas City scored 40 points vs the New England Patriots for the third consecutive time in the regular-season. No team has ever accomplished doing it more than twice in the Bill Belichick era.
4. New Orleans Saints (4-1)
The Saints offense had a week off to prepare for the Baltimore Ravens defense. It’ll be strength against strength as the No. 1 scoring offense (36 PPG) faces the No. 1 scoring defense (12.8 PPG).
5. Baltimore Ravens (4-2)
The Ravens recorded a franchise-record 11 sacks in a 21-0 shutout over the Tennessee Titans last Sunday. They lead the NFL in sacks with 26 and points allowed (12.8 PPG).
6. Los Angeles Chargers (4-2)
The Los Angeles Chargers dominated the Cleveland Browns last Sunday 38-14 as Melvin Gordon continued his stellar 2018. Gordon already has 9 TDs through six games after scoring three more vs Cleveland. He had 12 TDs all of last season.
7. Philadelphia Eagles (3-3)
Philadelphia took care of business on the road vs the free-falling Giants 34-13 last Thursday. Its the first time Philadelphia has scored more than 23 points this season as they last did it in Week 15 vs the Giants last season when they scored 34 points in a 34-29 win.
8. Chicago Bears (3-2)
The Chicago Bears two redzone turnovers cost them dearly last Sunday in Miami, but so did their defense which allowed over 500 yards of offense to a Dolphins team ranked as one of the worst in that category coming into the game.
9. Carolina Panthers (3-2)
The Carolina Panthers fell behind 17-0 but made a late run, ultimately coming up short 23-17. Carolina has yet to win on the road this season.
10. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2-1)
The Pittsburgh Steelers defense couldn’t hold a late lead in Cincinnati, but were bailed out by their offense in a 28-21 victory. Still, Pittsburgh defense has allowed 19 PPG over the last two games, an improvement over what we saw during the first four games of the season.
11. Minnesota Vikings (3-2-1)
Teams know that Kirk Cousins’ favorite target is wide receiver Adam Thielen, but there’s been little teams have been able to do to stop Thielen from a record-setting pace. Adam Thielen leads the NFL in receiving yards with 712 and has extended his record consecutive 100-yard games to begin the season to six in a 27-17 win over Arizona last Sunday.
12. Cincinnati Bengals (4-2)
The Cincinnati Bengals can’t get over their hex against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but if there’s an encouraging sign for Cincinnati, Andy Dalton played a clean game. Dalton’s seven interceptions this season are tied for the second most this season.
13. Green Bay Packers (3-2-1)
The Green Bay Packers needed an improbable rally over the final two minutes of Monday night’s 33-30 win over San Francisco 49ers just to avoid going to overtime. The numbers will say Rodgers put up 425 passing yards and 2 TDs, but if Green Bay wants to go anywhere this season the run game has to play some factor.
14. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3)
The Jacksonville Jaguars are the NFL’s worst team … over the past two weeks. Their -49 point differential over the last two weeks — both losses — is the worst in the NFL.
15. Miami Dolphins (4-2)
The Miami Dolphins quarterback controversy is on! After two duds produced by Ryan Tannehill on the road, one has to wonder if Adam Gase is considering sticking with a quarterback he’s familiar with from his Broncos days in Brock Osweiler, who led the Dolphins to a 31-28 OT win over the Chicago Bears last Sunday.
16. Washington Redskins (3-2)
The Washington Redskins returned back to form vs a tough Carolina Panthers team in a 23-17 win at FedEx Field. Adrian Peterson continues to rewind the clock as he picked up 97 rushing yards on just 17 carries in the win.
17. Dallas Cowboys (3-3)
The Dallas Cowboys may have discovered the key to masking their issues throwing the football is by using designed run plays for Dak Prescott. The Cowboys rushed for 206 rushing yards. Dak Prescott had 82 of them, a career-high.
18. Seattle Seahawks (3-3)
The Seattle Seahawks have looked like a potential playoff team over their past four games, going 3-1 with their lone loss being a 33-31 loss to a undefeated Rams team. The schedule from here on out will not be easy as six of their final 10 opponents are all above .500, with two of those opponents being the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs.
19. Tennessee Titans (3-3)
The Tennessee Titans won’t be able to survive the season trending where they are from an offensive standpoint. The defense is in the upper half in the league, but not elite. While getting shutout 21-0 at home by the Baltimore Ravens may be a personal low this season, it’s an indictment of how porous the unit actually is.
20. Detroit Lions (2-3)
The Detroit Lions enjoyed a bye week and are hoping to carry the momentum of a victory at home vs Green Bay to South Florida vs the Miami Dolphins this Sunday.
21. Houston Texans (3-3)
The Texans have won three consecutive games by a total of 13 points. While protecting Deshaun Watson has now become a weekly concern, the defense has turned in two straight stifling performances after a few rough patches to begin the season.
22. Cleveland Browns (2-3-1)
Hue Jackson’s Cleveland Browns for the first time this season had zero answers for their opposition as they were thoroughly dominated by the Los Angeles Chargers in a 38-14 beatdown. The 24-point loss is Cleveland’s worst loss since a 31-7 Week 4 loss vs the Cincinnati Bengals last season.
23. Atlanta Falcons (2-4)
The Atlanta Falcons received a much needed pick me up facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers horrendous defense in a 34-29 win at home last Sunday. Matt Ryan is on pace for career-highs in passing yards and touchdowns. He has 1,955 passing yards, 14 TDs and 2 INTs with a 113.6 Passer Rating.
24. New York Jets (3-3)
After three weeks of looking like a bottom five offense, the Jets have scored 76 points over the last two weeks. In other words, Kyrie Irving apologized weeks ago for claiming the Earth was flat.
25. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-3)
The Buccaneers went with Jameis Winston coming out of their bye, and while Winston threw for 395 passing yards and 4 TDs, he turned the ball over twice and fumbled two other times. Not a winning formula for a team with one of the worst defenses ever … in my opinion.
26. Denver Broncos (2-4)
Denver rebounded with a respectable effort at home vs the Los Angeles Rams, but it’s clear that this Broncos defense can’t play well enough like in years past to bail out the offense. Two consecutive 200-yard rushers allowed expose that.
27. Buffalo Bills (2-4)
Nathan Peterman will get his ridicule on another the day, but how about the continued rebound by Buffalo’s defense? They continue to be among one of the best defensive units in the NFL since Week 3.
28. Indianapolis Colts (1-5)
The Colts are going to live and die with Andrew Luck’s productivity, and that’s simply not going to be a winning formula for a team that can’t get enough defensive stops in the redzone or on third down.
29. San Francisco 49ers (1-5)
The 49ers let a opportunity to snap their three game losing skid go by the wayside with a inability to close the game on offense or defense. Still, it’s nice to see C.J. Beathard recover from a rough performance vs the Arizona Cardinals the week before.
30. New York Giants (1-5)
Is it Eli Manning or the offensive line? It’s both. It’s hard to continually just blame the offensive line when coach Pat Shurmer is caught on the sidelines during last week’s game vs the Eagles imploring Eli to throw the ball down the field on a 2nd and long play.
31. Oakland Raiders (1-5)
The Oakland Raiders have followed scoring 45 in a Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns by sleepwalking to 13 points. Oakland is a mess right now, a disastrous start to the second era for Jon Gruden with the Raiders.
32. Arizona Cardinals (1-5)
Arizona hung tough on the road in what was Josh Rosen’s first career road game. If there’s a point of emphasis, it has to be their run defense as they allowed 195 rushing yards and are allowing 151.2 rushing yards per game, second worst in the NFL.

![[SPORTS] BELLINGER’S WALK-OFF TIES NLCS AT 2-2](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/img_8247.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1)

About Time: Cody Bellinger Wakes Up Dodgers ‘O’ With Clutch Hit
The Los Angeles Dodgers lamented their missed opportunities and miscues in Game 3. The team maintained that they were still confident going into what felt like a must-win game.
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 in extra innings on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium in Game 4 of the NLCS to tie the series at 2-2.
Cody Bellinger would send a sleepy Dodgers faithful home happy with a two-out walk-off single in the 13th inning.
Bellinger, who made an outstanding diving catch in the 10th inning to rob Lorenzo Cain of a lead-off single, finished with two hits on the night.
It was a long time between runs for the Dodgers in Game 4, but they’ll take it as they look to take control of the series with a win on Wednesday at home before the series shifts back to Milwaukee.
The Dodgers bullpen — which saw eight different pitchers used — went eight innings, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out nine.
Brian Dozier would give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 1-0 lead in the first inning with a stinging line drive single to left off left-hander Gio Gonzalez.
After Gio Gonzalez came down awkwardly after throwing a ball to catcher Austin Barnes with no outs and a man on in the second inning, Craig Counsell would quickly go to his bullpen.
Gonzalez had grimaced as he came down awkwardly on his ankle and that was enough for the Brewers skipper to go take the ball from him as Gonzalez finished the game with just one inning pitched.
In Gonzalez place would be 22-year-old right-hander Freddy Peralta. Peralta, inheriting a base runner in the second inning, would have the bases loaded against him.
In easily the biggest moment of the game, Peralta would avert disaster for the Brewers as he escaped the inning with a strikeout of first baseman Max Muncy.
Pitching in his first playoff game, Peralta would have his best stuff going for him against the Dodgers potent lineup as he made Dodgers hitters look routinely silly with his fastball/curveball combination.
Peralta would settle in on the mound in a dominant relief effort as he struck out six batters over three scoreless and hitless innings.
Peralta would be pinch-hit for in the fifth inning after a one-out single by shortstop Orlando Arcia off Rich Hill. Hitting in his place would be Domingo Santana, who delivered with a RBI double to tie the game at 1-1.
Rich Hill — who escaped the inning with a strikeout of Christian Yelich — finished the game allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out six over five strong innings.
The bullpen battle would breakout between the Dodgers and Brewers as neither team’s offense could breakthrough as the game extended into extra innings.
After holding the Brewers off the scoreboard for eight innings, the Dodgers would get their first base runner since the ninth inning when Manny Machado singled with one out in the 13th off Junior Guerra.
With two outs in the 13th inning, Cody Bellinger would play the hero for the Dodgers by hitting a line drive to right field to score Manny Machado — who had previously advanced on a wild pitch by Junior Guerra — to win the game.
In a battle of the bullpens late, it was Milwaukee’s which would blink first as Milwaukee was unable to cash in vs Los Angeles’ relief pitchers when the opportunities presented themselves.
Milwaukee went 0-for-8 with RISP and left 10 men on base. Their counterparts didn’t do much better as they went 2-for-10 with RISP.
Considering the unfortunate injury to Gio Gonzalez in the second inning and the plethora of missed opportunities on offense, Craig Counsell and his Brewers should feel like they are the better team moving forward in a tied series.
The Los Angeles Dodgers offense has been neutralized in two games at home in the NLCS as the strikeouts and inability to move runners over nearly put the team in a 3-1 hole.
Thanks to the bullpen showing up big for the Dodgers when needed and Cody Bellinger’s walk-off, the NLCS is a best of three series now.
Clayton Kershaw will take the ball for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday afternoon as the Brewers will go with Wade Miley as both teams look for a 3-2 series lead.

Warriors Get Scare From Shorthanded Thunder After Being Honored
The Golden State Warriors did something on Tuesday night that’s become a tradition around the Bay Area over the past few seasons.
The Golden State Warriors players, coaches, and owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber were received their championship rings and lifted their 2017-18 championship banner ahead of their season opener.
The rings come with a special look to them this season as they are the first reversible championship rings ever. Seventy-four sapphires on the “blue” side with seventy-four diamonds on the “white” side.
Having won consecutive titles, the Warriors are looking to make it three-in-a-row this season, but first things first was a game at Oracle Arena with a Russell Westbrook-less Thunder team.
The Golden State Warriors overcame a strong second half rally to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 108-100.
Stephen Curry led the way for the Dubs with 32 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds on the night as Golden State overcame their own sloppy play (20 turnovers) and porous night from beyond the arc (7-for-26).
That’s something coach Steve Kerr will stress in the Warriors next practice, but with it being the first game of the season, understands his team getting caught up in the emotions of a ring night.
The Golden State Warriors opened their final season in Oakland on Tuesday night as they will move to their new arena, Chase Center, in San Francisco next season.
The Warriors have been in the Oakland since 1966 when Oracle Arena first opened.
It’s a franchise that with the celebration of this third championship title in four years has reached new heights.
Klay Thompson said days before the season opener on Tuesday night that the Golden State Warriors motivation for a fourth championship in five years.
“We want to do it for the fans of Oakland,” Thompson said. “Been so loyal to us for 40-plus years, whatever it’s been since they’ve been in Oracle. So that definitely helps with this season. It’s leaving a big legacy behind in Oakland because people might not get to see us as much in San Francisco. And just enjoying this every night.”
The Golden State Warriors will visit Salt Lake City to take on the Utah Jazz on Friday night.
How many games will the Warriors win during the 2018-19 season? Leave your comments below!
