Party Tardiness Galore - Last Friday night (May 6), Lauryn Hill showed up almost two hours late to a concert in Atlanta. Usually that might not cause problems, except that this time around the venue had a strict 11 p.m. curfew, leaving Lauryn with time for only a 30-minute set. Needless to say, a social media backlash ensued with the same question popping up: Why would anyone still throw money to see a Lauryn Hill concert? We know that it might be a rhetorical question, but we took it upon ourselves to answer it for you. Let’s go align our chakras. – Jon Reyes(Photo: Nicholas Hunt/BET/Getty Images for BET)
