Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton has reportedly been teaching Beyonce how to drive like a professional.
The 24-year-old world champion has been showing Beyonce, 27, and rapper hubby Jay-Z, 39, around the track after they arrived at the Cannes Film Festival.
The couple has been supporting Beyonce’s younger sister Solange Knowles after she performed at the VIP Rooms.
An insider said: “Beyonce’s so excited to be learning from him. And Jay’s even worse. He’s ready to put on his helmet and get in the fast lane himself.”
Beyonce has said she was stunned that people believed a hoax clip of her singing out of tune was really her.
The Crazy in Love star came under fire when the altered audio recording hit the internet.
It was picked up by popular US radio “shock jock” Howard Stern and soon spread online.
She said: “I knew it was a joke. I knew it was supposed to be silly. Something like that I don’t even take seriously. I thought it was hilarious.
“The craziest thing was journalists were asking me about it when they hadn’t even listened to it. If you had heard it, it was obviously a hoax!”
The clip featured Beyonce seemingly screeching along to her hit If I Were A Boy.
Her father, Mathew Knowles, dismissed it as a fake. But some fans believed it was real and began to doubt the chart star’s vocal abilities.
Beyonce, 27, told a US newspaper: “More than anything, it’s amazing that someone can do something so obviously funny, and have the whole world take it the wrong way.”
Art student Matthew Zeghibe later came forward and confessed to the scam – admitting he too was amazed that people took it seriously.
Singer Beyonce is so fed up with the imposters pretending to be her on Twitter she is reportedly planning to take legal action.
It is claimed her sister Solange Knowles, who is a fan of the site and regularly updates her own page, alerted her superstar sister to a number of fake pages posting messages pretending they are from her.
But the star is now planning to take legal action, according to British newspaper The Sun, as she is fed up with the imposters.
One page on the social networking site has 33,994 followers with another offering “You daily dose of Mrs. Carter” as her husband Jay Z’s real name is Shawn Corey Carter.
I was a little shocked when I found out that Beyonce was a cheapskate but I?m even more shocked to find out that she?s a slob. In the newest issue of Ebony magazine, Beyonce reveals that she is a little pig at home which completely irritates her neat freak of a husband Jay-Z. She said ?I’m a little messy! Oh, yeah? I think that is the most difficult thing for him. He’s very, very organized.? You would think she would have hired someone to clean up after her. Oh yeah, I forgot about her being frugal. She probably wouldn?t want to spend on someone?s salary.
A lot of celebrities showed up to give their support to President Barack Obama?s inaugural festivities in Washington DC. Beyonce and Bono were the headliners for the group of entertainers who kicked off the celebrations. Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Josh Groban, James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen were just some of the performers who helped keep the parties going. Beyonce also sang the song to which Barack and his wife Michelle danced to. It seemed like everyone was in DC for the events that have gone on over the weekend up to the actual inauguration on Tuesday. Congratulations to the new President!
Beyonce flaunted her dangerous curves at the Sony BMG Music 2008 Grammy Awards After Party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday night. The Bootylicious singer showed off more skin than her usual flashy armpits with her dress?s plunging back. However, she knew how much to keep hidden when she kept things covered up in all the right places. I may be getting sick of her being all over the place these days but I can?t help but envy the fact that her body was made for evening gowns. If only she was made for not getting us saturated with her face and music then she?d be perfect.
Alicia Keys is set to perform at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards. The Grammy award-winning singer is the latest addition to the star-studded line-up, which also includes Beyonc?, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, the Foo Fighters and Tina Turner. The Grammy awards are famous for their unusual pairings, and this year is no exception
While Beyonc? and Tina Turner are expected to duet, ‘Umbrella’ star Rihanna is set to team up with reunited group The Time to commemorate the ceremony’s 50th anniversary. In addition, Aretha Franklin and Mary J. Blige will appear on stage with The Clark Sisters, Israel and New Breed, and Trin-i-Tee 5:7 for a one-off gospel performance.
The ceremony, which is being held in Los Angeles’ Staples Center on February 10, will also feature a special tribute to British band The Beatles. Casts from Las Vegas’ Beatles tribute show ‘LOVE by Cirque du Soleil’ and film musical ‘Across The Universe’ will join forces in an exclusive tribute to the late John Lennon and George Harrison and the band’s surviving members Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. Presenters at the ceremony include Cyndi Lauper, Bette Midler and Nat King Cole’s daughter Natalie
One act I doubt will be appearing is Amy Winehouse?
Rihanna debuted a new hair do at the 2008 NRJ Music Awards which was held at the Palais des Festivals on Saturday in Cannes, France. It?s super short especially if you?re looking at it from the back. It?s super sexy though and she was looking mighty stylish. I can?t wait to see what she?ll look like at the forthcoming Grammy Awards which will take place on February 10. She will be performing at the show along with Beyonce, the Foo Fighters, Carrie Underwood and Mary J. Blige. And you fans better watch out because it?s being reported that Beyonce and Mary J are being rumoured to be performing a duet.
No, not that kind of beating…it was part of their New Year’s Celebration. It wasn’t a throwdown party; instead the two had a marathon of Connect 4 games.
Apparently Kanye started playing the game as a way to ease his mind after the tragic death of his mother in November. And he kept hearing people talk about how Beyonce was the Connect 4 champion.
He finally got the chance to play her when he spent New Years Eve at Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club in Vegas. Kanye said, “She beat me 9 times in a row!” He did beat her in one single game, and boy, was he proud!
It’s nice to see celebs doing something wholesome for a change! x`x`
Beyonce and Solange Knowles rocked some big hairstyles when they worked the red carpet at Jay-Z?s $20 million 40/40 Club. It?s a 24,000-square foot bar and lounge at The Palazzo Resort-Hotel-Casino on Sunday night in Las Vegas, Nevada. The club is named after one of sport?s most prestigious achievements ? 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in the same baseball season.
Jay-Z said of the night ?I just want everyone to have a good time and not get caught up in the whole glitzy pretentious clubbing thing. But I?m up for a big night, and a big year next year. Good things are gonna happen.?
Idol fans, this is your time for sweet revenge. He may not have won the competition, but he won the hearts of album buyers this year. Billboard named Chris Daughtry the most popular album of 2007. They sold about 3.2 million copies.
Just half a million shy of that, in second place, is Akon’s album “Konvicted”, followed by the Hannah Montana soundtrack (2.5 million), Fergie’s “The Dutchess” (2.4 million), and Carrie Underwood’s “Some Hearts” (2.3 million).
Number one song of the year was “Irreplaceable” by Beyonce, with Rihanna coming in just behind with “Umbrella”. Top tour of the year was The Police’s reunion tour, bringing in $212 million at last estimate.
Beyonce and Justin Timberlake have each received seven nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards, including best female and male artist of the year. Rapper Kanye West and R&B star Rihanna are shortlisted in five categories. Umbrella, which topped the UK chart for 10 straight weeks, is also up for “monster single of the year”. This could be the one award that Rihanna grabs because I heard to the number it is one of the coolest I heard in recent times. Lilly Allen has time on hand to sort out her visa problems so that she can make it to the ceremony which should be rocking as Justin, Beyonce, and Amy Winehouse are slated to perform as are many other at the show piece event. Now last year Latin singer Shakira too was nominated for seven awards but landed just one, so lets hope this year turns out to be better for the leading nominees.
Pop star Beyonce has visited two fans in hospital after they were injured by pyrotechnics at one of her concerts.
The accident happened shortly after her show started in Missouri, US, on Sunday night when fireworks meant for the stage spilled into the audience.
Two unnamed concertgoers were taken to hospital, but their injuries were said to be minor.
Beyonce, 25, arrived shortly after her concert. “She was just very concerned,” said head nurse Darryl Williams.
“It was unannounced and we kept it very low-key so that she could spend time with them.”
In a statement on her website, the Crazy in Love singer said the incident – footage of which has appeared on several video-sharing websites – was “very unfortunate”.
“I visited the two fans who were injured in hospital right after the show and I am grateful that they will both be alright.”
“My life and career have been blessed with the support of the best fans in the world. Their safety and well-being will always be a top priority and one of my biggest concerns.”
