Beyonce makes a donation to Haiti

Alex — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 20:35:36 +0000

Now this is how you score popularity points. After performing for Libya’s Colonel Gaddafi on New Year’s Eve of 2009, Beyonce has apparently decided that the best thing to do with her earnings from that show would be to donate them to Haiti. This is what Beyonce’s publicist said on the matter: “All money paid to Beyonce for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St. Barts on New Year’s Eve 2009, including the commissions paid to her booking agency, were donated to the earthquake relief efforts for Haiti over a year ago. Once it became known that the third party promoter was linked to the Qaddafi family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause.” This is certainly going to give Beyonce an even better popular image… and it might even serve as a good example for some artists out there.

Beyonce is getting a new album ready

Alex — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 21:32:04 +0000

Lady GaGa and Britney Spears better not think that they’re the only ones left fighting for the throne of the pop queen… no sir. Beyonce is still in the game too and she’s coming up strong and sly with a new album that is almost ready. Singer Sia, with whom Beyonce apparently collaborated, say the following about this upcoming record: “So I just said to all the producers, writers, everyone, help me make this happen. Diplo e-mailed me and said, ‘Where are you in the world right now? Would you be interested in flying to New York? I’m writing with Beyoncé,’ and I was like, ‘Yesss!’. Well, there’s only one song left for this album, so I probably won’t get on this album, but hopefully the next one. That’s my dream, that’s my goal.” It’s so much more interesting when there are three parties in the game… Beyonce’s new album could not have arrived at a better time.

Willow Smith Talks Roc Nation

Alex — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 23:25:55 +0000

Willow Smith recently had a photo shoot and interview for the February 2011 issue of Vanity Fair magazine. The 10-year old pop singer talked about her budding music career and being able to work with rap mogul Jay-Z. She said “It is very cool, because Jay[-Z] really welcomes me and makes me feel like the record label is a place where I can have fun and talk about my career. He and his people make me feel like I’m a part of something. And I love Beyonce—she’s awesome!” I wonder if there’s a Willow-Beyonce collaboration somewhere in the near future.

Beyonce is Not Pregnant

Alex — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 19:27:16 +0000

Tina Knowles addressed the rumors that her daughter Beyonce was pregnant when she dropped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week. Tina is saying that there�s no truth to it all. When asked if the R&B singer was pregnant, her mother said �I heard that but I’m here to clear the rumors up. The truth is that’s it’s not Beyonc� that’s pregnant. It’s me. I’m kidding y’all. I’m 56. No, no it’s not true. Not right now. I’m looking forward to it. With all the rumors, by now I should have five or six grandchildren.� I guess we all have to wait for when the time is right.

Party Music from Beyonce

Alex — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 18:33:45 +0000

Beyonce is back in the studio and getting ready to make her fourth album. According to producer Sean Garrett, the R&B singer is about to treat us with some serious dance and party music. He reveals �I am going in the studio with Beyonc� this week to work on her next record. I think we are doing a lot of up-tempo records for this one. She�s in such a good place right now in life that she is interested in making party music, definitely.� While I love hearing her ballads, I think Beyonce really shines when she�s making dance music.

Beyonce is pregnant?

Alex — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 20:51:21 +0000

Not only does Amy Winehouse want children now, but it looks like Beyonce might already be expecting her first. This is the news that can be found on blogging site Mediatakeout: “According to our source Beyonce is doing fine and resting (for now), but she’s expected to continue working throughout her pregnancy. And we’re also told that Jay-Z is extremely happy to be having his first child with Beyonce.” The official representatives of Beyonce and Jay-Z of course are refusing to comment on all of this, but then again that?s only natural. It might all be a hoax, but you have to observe how much of a workaholic Beyonce is. She just has to catch up to Rihanna, doesn?t she?

50 Cent?s family dreams

Alex — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 22:57:53 +0000

There comes a time in a man?s life when all he wants to do is settle down and just have a family of his own? or at least day-dream a bit about doing that. It seems that time has come for 50 Cent and he decided he would like to share his thoughts with all of us. This is what he said abut the matter: “I would kiss Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Rihanna. I would marry Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Rihanna in Africa, I’d have 3 wives! And I would avoid wearing condoms and have really big families.” Such a great marketing scheme and 50 Cent wants to take it to Africa? Those are like the top three female pop artists? they probably make more in a month combined than 50 Cent does in a decade.

Beyonce?s Dad Ordered to Pay Child Support

Alex — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 19:14:50 +0000

Beyonce?s dad Mathew Knowles has been ordered to support his supposed mistress Alexsandra Wright?s son Nixon even before the paternity test takes place on March 1. A Los Angeles judge ordered the R&B singer?s dad/manager to pay $8200 a month dating back until February 1 as well as 100 percent of uninsured medical costs. I have this gut feeling that he is the dad of the newborn. Not only has Mathew not denied it but he also gave Alexsandra $10,000 back in January to cover other pregnancy costs. That should pretty much count as an admission that the kid is his.

Beyonce Makes a Cameo for Alicia Keys

Alex — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 18:11:19 +0000

Beyonce recently shot a guest spot in Alicia Keys? new music video ?Put it in a Love Song? in the Morro da Conceicao slum of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this past Tuesday. The song is from Alicia?s latest album ?The Element of Freedom?. Speaking of Beyonce, the R&B singer is also rumored to star in the remake of the classic ?A Star is Born?. Russell Crowe may play the aging, alcoholic musician who mentors and falls in love with Beyonce?s character. I?m all for the classics but I?m not sure about the remake of that movie. Beyonce is definitely no Barbra Streisand.

Beyonce: Jay-Z was shocked when I thanked him as my husband at Grammys

Alex — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 22:35:08 +0000

Beyonce says Jay-Z was “shocked” when she thanked him as her husband at the Grammy Awards.

The couple have tried to keep their marriage top-secret, but collecting her sixth Grammy of the night, Beyonce said: ?I’d love to thank my family for all their love and support, including my husband.?

After her speech, rapper Jay-Z could be seen in the audience making gestures with his hands to the star.

?He was shocked!? Beyonce said of the speech. ?He was just like, ?What did you say?’ I was just like, ?What did I just do? No, I didn’t just say that.?

Beyonce said the speech was completely on the spur of the moment and unplanned.

?I was so happy, I could’ve said anything,? she said. ?That’s why I ran off the stage.?

Beyonce nominated for 10 Grammys

Alex — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 23:48:29 +0000

Beyonc? is on course for a bumper haul at the Grammys after receiving 10 nominations.

The sexy diva topped the list as the nominees were announced in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, ahead of country music starlet Taylor Swift with eight nominations and Lady GaGa with five.

Beyonc? is up for album of the year for I Am … Sasha Fierce, song of the year for her anthem Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It) and record of the year for Halo.

Swift and Lady GaGa are also nominated in the album, song and record of the year categories.

The Black Eyed Peas, singer Maxwell and rapper Kanye West – notorious for his behaviour at awards shows – have six nominations each.

The nominees were revealed at an event featuring live performances from acts including The Black Eyed Peas and Jonas Brother Nick Jonas’s solo project, Nick Jonas and the Administration.

The winners will be announced at the Grammys on January 31.

Miley Cyrus Talks Beyonce

Alex — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 23:27:00 +0000

In a recent interview with Seventeen magazine, Miley Cyrus talked about who she looks up to the most. The Disney star said that she really looks up to her fellow singer Beyonce. Miley said ?I want to be like Beyonce. She is the ultimate woman. You look at her and you don’t think, I wonder what her personal life is like. You look at her and you go, that girl on the stage is a superstar. You don’t care about anything else; you only care about her music. So I would hope that would be me in the future.? Considering the things that Miley does and what she wears, I highly doubt that it?s in her future.

Beyonce takes three prizes at MTV Europe

Alex — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:41:07 +0000

Beyonce scooped three awards at the MTV Europe Music Awards at the ceremony to mark the tearing down of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago.

The singer was awarded the best female, best song for Halo, and the best video for Single Ladies [Put a Ring on It].

She told the audience: “I have to dedicate this award to all the other beautiful artists. Thank you MTV for this wonderful honour,” upon receiving her best female award.

Jay-Z, Beyonce’s hip-hop musician husband, won the best urban act category. He said: “I look forward to the day when all those walls come down.”

Beyonce stepped up after her husband’s speech and performed Sweet Dreams.

Eminem won best male act. He thanked his supporters in a video message.

Katy Perry hosted the prestigious event, which included a video tribute to the late king of pop, Michael Jackson.

Beyonce Talks Kanye West

I?ve been waiting to hear what Beyonce has to say about the whole VMA incident revolving around Kanye West and Taylor Swift since it happened. When recently asked about the incident that will go down in MTV history, Beyonce said ?Well, I knew his intentions, and I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he’s like, ‘You have this award. And when they didn’t call my name he was, like, completely shocked. And when he walked on the stage, I was like, ‘No, no, no!’ and then he spoke, and I was like, ‘Oh, no, no, no!’ But in the end, it ended up being a great night, and Taylor Swift did get her moment ? and I didn’t have to make an acceptance speech.?
