UPDATE: Bond Denied In Sidney Starr’s Case

As previously reported, Sidney Starr, real name Sidney Favors, is accused of being sexually involved with a 13-year-old, allegedly assaulting him inside a Georgia hotel. On Tuesday, the minor’s mother said the child is undergoing extensive therapy to heal from the encounter. Her statement was read in the courtroom as Starr sought bond in the case.

“At this age, when he should feel safe, innocent, and protected, he is now forced to cope with trauma that no child should ever have to endure,” the mother said, according to WSB-TV.

Prosecutors also alleged Tuesday that Sidney Starr approached the 13-year-old in the hotel lobby and complimented him. Then later, per Starr’s admitted statement, the child entered the elevator with her and went to her hotel room. In the room, Sidney and the minor allegedly engaged in sexual contact, including sodomy, molestation and sexual battery.

In court on Tuesday, Sidney Starr’s attorney argued that she has only one prior traffic citation. However, prosecutors pointed out her lack of connections in the Atlanta area, citing concerns about possible intimation due to her reality TV star status. Sidney has appeared on shows like ‘Love & Hip Hop’ and Zeus’ ‘Baddies.’ Ultimately, the judge denied the bond. “At this time, this defendant remains in a no bond status,” the judge reportedly said.

The hearing was the latest look at Starr since Hapeville police officers arrested her at the Embassy Suites earlier this month. In the side shot, the reality TV star was rocking a cornrow braided high ponytail. She appeared in a navy blue jail uniform without any makeup on, revealing a few dark-spot blemishes.

Dolly Parton’s Nephew Breaks The Tragic News 

No details have been revealed about the singer’s cause of death. However, according to a statement from her publicist, Dolly Parton died peacefully on Tuesday in Nashville, Tennessee.

Her nephew mentioned that he hopes she’ll be welcomed in heaven by her husband, Carl Dean, who was an asphalt paving contractor. In the mid-1960s. They were together until his death in 2025 at the age of 82. Though rarely seen in public, he influenced her career. She told NPR that she wrote ‘Jolene’ about a flirty bank teller who seemed to take an interest in Dean.

Dolly Parton Was THAT Girl 

Parton was a country music icon whose soaring, vibrato-laden vocals, poignant songwriting, and sparkling costumes took her from her log cabin in the Tennessee mountains to the heights of stardom. Others might remember her curvy physique, massive blonde wigs and skin-tight outfits and stage style.

Parton also plucked bejeweled banjos, guitar and dulcimers with her long fingernails during performances. She wrote hundreds of songs, including classics like ‘Jolene,’ ‘Coat of Many Colors’ and ‘I Will Always Love You.’ That music totaled more than 100 million worldwide sales and more than 1 billion online streams. With 55 Grammy nominations and 10 wins, Parton is the third-most nominated woman in Grammy history, only behind Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.

Parton’s career was forever influenced by her upbringing as one of 12 children born into what she called a “dirt poor” Tennessee family. Her first musical performances were in church, where her grandfather was a preacher. By age 10, she was learning guitar and singing on local television shows. At 13, she appeared on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. By the mid-1970s, Dolly Parton was a Nashville queen.

Outside of music, Dolly Parton was a generous philanthropist and successful businesswoman. Her projects included a theme park in the Smoky Mountain foothills near her birthplace. She started her education nonprofit, Imagination Library, to send free books to children in Tennessee because her father struggled to learn to read. He had quit school to work on the farm.

North West Shares Recent Starstruck Moment And The Body-Piercing She’s Not Allowed

North West shared her first body-piercing on her finger back in September of 2025, and she revealed where she wants to get another piercing in an interview with Dazed. In addition, the 13-year-old revealed which musical artist left her starstruck recently, as well as what clothing item she considers her holy grail of fashion.

The teen explained why she likes body-piercing and where she wants another piercing but is not allowed.

“They just make you your full self,” said North. “I really want to get my bridge pierced, but I’m not allowed.”

The teenager also gave a refreshingly mature take on being a teen in the interview, and it’s going viral. North is currently sporting blue hair inspired by the Japanese virtual pop idol Hatsune Miku, and she said that her hair and piercings are all she wants, as other teens do “bad stuff.” Not only that, but the teenager isn’t interested in dating just yet.

“Everyone’s in love with boys, vaping, and doing all kinds of bad stuff,” said North. “All I want is blue hair and piercings.”

She also noted that Lil Uzi’s set in June at the Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash in Chicago left her starstruck. North performed her first solo set at a music festival on Friday, June 12, per Billboard.

“It was crazy, and I got to meet them after,” she recalled. “I cannot believe it even happened; I’m still starstruck.”

North also got more piercings on her fingers and hands. In February, the teenager shared a photograph of her new hand piercings on Instagram with the caption:

“piercing on my hand out now.”

The teen was also asked which items she considers the holy grail of fashion, and she said it’s a gift from her mother and her sneakers.

“Well, I have a Michael Jackson jacket,” she revealed. “It was a gift from my mom. Also, my Geobaskets.”

Could Working At Starbucks Be In North West’s Future?

North was also asked in the interview what she would like to be if she weren’t an artist. The teen said she’d like to have a regular job and might even work at Starbucks when she’s old enough.

“What would I be? I still wanna work,” she replied. “I wanna work at, like, Starbucks next year. I think I can next year ’cause I’m gonna be 14, so I think I can. I want to have a regular job, I guess.”

Fans Applaud North West’s Ambition

Fans reacted after learning that the 13-year-old wanted to get a regular job next year, despite being the daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Several Roomies applauded the teenager for her ambition at such a young age, while others encouraged her to stay a kid for a while longer.

Target issued an apology after the retail giant promoted Jim Crow minstrel-style imagery masquerading as a children’s Halloween costume on its website. The retailer apologized after receiving backlash over the racist Blackface caricature-style costume.

Target Apologizes For Racist Minstrel-Style Halloween Costume

So, Target issued the statement on Monday, August 24, according to Reuters. The retailer’s statement was an apology for promoting the “Kids’ Glows under Blacklight Circus Clown Halloween Costume Bodysuit” from Hyde & EEK! Boutique line.

Also, the Halloween costume is a dead-ringer for Blackface caricatures from the minstrel show era between the 1830s and the Jim Crow era in the 1960s. Minstrel shows were performed by white people with burnt cork or shoe polish on their faces. They mocked enslaved Americans on plantations as ignorant, lazy, superstitious, hyper-sexual and cowardly. Furthermore, performers in minstrel shows painted exaggerated, wide red or white smiles on their faces, and the orange-and-black clown-style Halloween costume featured the same offensive imagery.

Target’s statement read: “As a company, we know we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. The costume is offensive and should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer available for sale. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won’t happen again.”

Roommate Reactions Are Unfiltered

After the news was shared on TSR’s Instagram page, Roomies reacted with unfiltered opinions about the racist children’s Halloween costumes. Not only that, but folks are tired of Target’s excuses over the repeated racist mishaps.

User @midwifeangelina replied, “They’re always issuing an apology. How about don’t do it! 😒.”

@quing.james wrote, “Someone said well if they had black DEI staff, they would not let this pass lol.”

Also, @therealseeon noted, “Target was like ‘y’all forgot about the boycott’ let me remind you 🥴.”

User@sevynthestylist added, “Target be like let me play in yall face again for fun.”

User @shotbyhotrod added, “You know what would help?? if y’all actually hired Black people to be in charge of these type of things so you won’t have slip ups?.”

@iamporshalove replied, “They do this every year. It’s apart of their marketing.”

User @divineseraphyne added, “We know this is especially hurtful to our black guests” SAYS A LOTTT!!!!”

User @mynameisakai added, “I’m convinced that these companies get a kick out of consumers discovering these ‘costumes.’ They’ll deal with the backlash because, ultimately, their stores stay open. They’ll apologize just to do it all over again.”

Meanwhile, @nikkistclair replied, “They deliberately do sh*t and issue a meaningless apology. Gucci, H&M, they all do it. They need to start issuing checks like Dennys did.”

@iam_lexroyal wrote, “I’m tired of them saying sorry chile 😒.”

Target Boycotted After DEI Initiative Roll-Back

Target dropped the DEI initiative programs implemented after George Floyd’s murder amid an executive order by president Donald Trump on January 20, 2025. Not only that, the racist order called diversity, equity, and inclusion “illegal and immoral discrimination programs.”

Within days of the executive order, Target announced the company was ending their DEI program. After that, Pastor Jamal Bryant initiated a year-long boycott of Target. The pastor revealed that after a meeting with Target in February, the company committed to increasing its $2 billion commitment to Black-led businesses and community groups by $100 million, per Forbes.

However, Target didn’t bring back the DEI program, and all things considered, the Jim Crow-style costume is another stain on the brand.
