BEYONCE KICKS LINDSAY LOHAN OUT!





Lindsay Lohan & Beyonce were both in Singapore for the F1 Rocks Concert. While Lindsay was set to host the event, Beyonce was there to perform. However things got really uncomfortable backstage in the dressing rooms!




Apparently, Lindsay requested a big dressing room for herself & did not get it. Instead, she opted to take Beyonce's room! But when Bey showed up with her entourage of 70, Lindsay was immediately kicked out and wasn't too happy about it!




Sources also say that the temperature reached a smoltering 90 degrees backstage but Beyonce requested that none of the AC fans could be turned on; only until when she was performing.




That's kinda cruel chica!




Yahoo News reported that Beyonce had a 139 page rider (requests made by an artist prior to a performance) which included 6 beauty chambers, champagne & vodka, fitness equipment, authentic fruit platter and tea and honey to name a few.








Nicole Scherzinger, who was originally suppose to host the concert, was also there with her man Formula 1 Racer Lewis Hamilton.




As for Lindsay, be happy you even have a job!!!

BEYONCE'S BEING SUED, SNEAK PEAK OF THE JAY-Z OPRAH INTERVIEW, RUFF RYDERS RETURNS





Superstar Beyonce is starting a new perfume line called Sasha Fierce named after her alter-ego. But the execs over at Ambercrombie & Fitch say that ain't happenin!




The clothing line has sent a cease & desist letter to Beyonce & her camp to stop the production of her new perfume line because they've had a cologne out called Fierce for more than a decade and is worried consumers may confuse the two brands.




Let's see if that'll stop the Beyoncemania!






In more Carter news, a piece of Jay-Z's interview on Oprah's show hit the net & the greatness talks about honing his paper free lyrical skills & how he considers it a muscle:








I don't think the type of audience Oprah has can truly appreciate his art. Just sayin. .







VIDEO LOOP:
Ruff Ryders are back!! Here's the official video for the Who's Real Remix (I know, it took forever) featuring all former members of the crew. Very nostaligic. Feels like it's 1998-99 again!:









Why does it look so damn low budget?





Ruff Ryders!

2009 MTV VMAS HIGHLIGHTS




What's goin on world? What'd I miss??? I know I've been M.I.A but I'm slowly trying to catch up!




So the VMA's went down last night & boy were there highlights! Here are some of my favorites ones:









Very touching speech by Madonna who opened the show & of course Ms. Jackson killed the performance! Everyone was anticipating this moment, even Beyonce! Did you see how excited she got? Even so, it sounded like Janet's voice was put through a blender & 80 packs of ciggarettes, however her presence on stage was still felt! At the end of the performance, you can see her pointing up to Michael with tears in her eyes. She did not have to perform but she did as a tribute; a tribute which I thought could've been a whole lot better!!





The official trailer for MJ's This Is It documentary film also debuted & it gave me chills while I watched it last night & it's still givin me chills now that I'm seein it again! He still got it.:










Lady Gaga had an interesting performance. I get the artistism and all but. . .








People are saying she was renacting Princess Diana's death which was due to the papz. I don't see it though! But homegirl does have a voice. Sang it.




Beyonce & her 100 female army. Female power. Woop Woop!









And here's what everyone's talkin about. One of the most memorable nights. Kanye turns into a crybaby yet again. I'm gettin real tired of his shannanigans! Check out what he does during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for her first ever VMA for Best Female Video & what the classy Beyonce does after she wins Video of The Year:








When 'Ye did that it wasn't even halfway through the show yet! Too early for nonsense man. Beyonce looks more pissed then happy for the support. Word has it that he was escorted out right after the incident with his bald chick Amber Rose, who was rockin a horrendous snakeskin bodysuit! Everyone was saying Kanye was drunk already, walking around & on the red carpet with a half drunken bottle of Hennessy. Lawddd. . . P.S I'm LMAO at Gaga's white wreath.




Anyway, after he was kicked out he took to his blog immediately & issued an apology:


"I'M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD'VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE'S IN THE BLEACHERS! …………………… I'M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!…………….. BEYONCE'S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I'M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I'M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I'M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN' THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE … WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I'M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!! YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME… THAT'S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I'M NOT CRAZY YALL, I'M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I'M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!



His relationship with MTV is dunzo. And ummm, you might wanna rethink the "I'm not crazy" part.




So what was Taylor's response to the whole disaster?:


"Well, I was standing on stage because I was really excited because I had just won the award. And then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage. And then I wasn't so excited anymore after that. I've been getting so many text messages and everybody's been really nice. So I've had a really, really fun night. It's been interesting definitely. I don't know him, and I've never met him, so… I don't want to start anything because I had a great night tonight."


Sucha sweetheart. Kanye defintely chose the wrong time to crash!





And last but not least. A move that has ended Lil Mama's career (?) as we know it:







At first I was like who's this trick hoppin on stage trying to get close to Jay-Z??? Beyonce must be so tight! Then I realized it was Z-Lister Lil Mama!!! Is this chick insane??? What was she thinkin comin on stage?! Nobody wanna see you! Move out the way bitch, we wanna see Hov & Alicia Keys, you know, real talented people!!! Didn't you get the clue when Jay tapped you on your leg?!! Shorty got too loose & now she looks like an idiot. Can't believe she even posed BBoy style at the end trying to be down with the crew. Ughhh my lawddd she looks like a troll next to those 2 superstars!



And what's worst, people are saying you can kinda hear in some audio clips Jay-Z telling Lil Mama“You’re T-paining right now”, in reference to what happened when T-Pain decided to hop on stage with Hov at HOT 97's SummerJam during D.O.A.




DOH!




And that was this year's VMAs, in a nutshell.

SNEAK PEAK AT OPRAH'S INTERVIEW WITH JAY-Z




Oprah's camp posted a snippet of what to expect in the October issue of The O Magazine where she went to visit Marcy Projects with Jay-Z:


At 13 he was selling crack. By 30 he was a hip-hop legend-having gone, in his words, "from grams to Grammys." Now Jay-Z charts his escape from the hard-knock life, describes the reunion that healed the wounds of his childhood- and even reveals the standing Sunday date he has with what's her name.



The complete interview will be available in the October 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, on newsstands September 15th. Get a first look here.


Oprah: So tell me how you got into the drug dealing.


Jay-Z: It was natural.…


Oprah: Because drug dealers were your role models. There wasn’t a teacher or a lawyer or a nurse or a doctor or an accountant in the neighborhood?


Jay-Z: Well, we were living in Marcy by then, so, no. And if anyone did become something like that, they moved out. They never came back to share the wisdom of how they made it. If anyone made it, you never knew it. That’s why I’ve always said that if I became successful, I’d come back here, grab somebody, and show him how it can be done.


Oprah: So by the time you were 13, this was a way of life. Did the lifestyle frighten you?


Jay-Z: No. It was normal. And at some point, you become addicted to the feeling. The uncertainty and adrenaline and danger of that lifestyle.


Oprah: This is where we differ. This is where we differ. Because I’d be very scared! Weren’t you shot at three times—within six feet—and you lived to talk about it?


Jay-Z: That was divine intervention. Divine intervention, and nobody knowing how to shoot.


Oprah: What happened in each situation?


Jay-Z: It was one situation, three shots.


Oprah: So he was a bad shot.


Jay-Z: Well, no one really practices shooting a TEC-9 machine gun, right? And when you’re a kid, with little bony arms—no wonder nobody could aim.


Oprah: Many of the little boys who grew up in the Marcy projects are either in jail or dead. Why do you think you got to grow up and buy your mom a house?


Jay-Z: There’s the gift, there’s the spirit, and there’s the work—all three have to come together. If one of those things is off, it can stop you from becoming who you were meant to be.


Oprah: When I met you a few years ago, we discussed our disagreement over the use of the N word and misogynist lyrics in rap music. Do you believe that using the N word is necessary?


Jay-Z: Nothing is necessary. It’s just become part of the way we communicate. My generation hasn’t had the same experience with that word that generations of people before us had. We weren’t so close to the pain. So in our way, we disarmed the word. We took the fire pin out of the grenade.



Jay talking about his wedding when you read the rest…




Oprah: Do you and BeyoncĂ© have a pact that you just won’t talk about each other?


Jay-Z: Yeah. When you’re a public person, you have to keep some things to yourself, or else people will just—


Oprah: Eat it up. I know. But can I ask how in the world you kept your wedding a secret?


Jay-Z: Late planning!


Oprah: How many people knew?


Jay-Z: Very few. The sad part is that we offended some. But people who love you understand. Because at the end of the day, it’s your day.


Oprah: So here we are, talking on a Sunday afternoon. If you weren’t sitting here with me, what would you be doing?


Jay-Z: I’m gonna get killed for this, but I’ll tell you anyway. There’s a great pizza spot we go to every Sunday. It’s our tradition. It’s a small place in Brooklyn, you can bring your own wine, and there are candles there. It’s a nice date.





A tech-9 in the hood. What else is new.

ANSWER THE CALL WITH JAY-Z




Jiggaman and his wifey Beyonce were on hand for the Blueprint 3 September 11th benefit concert for family and friends affected by the lost lives of our city's finest police and firefighting heroes at Madison Square Garden.




Press from all around the world was there, including NYC's Governor, important officials, Executive Vice President of Warner Music Group Kevin Liles and of course Jay-Z. Skip towards the last 3 minutes of the video to listen to Hov speak:










I hear because of all the leaked music recently, Jay is planning to add extra bonus tracks for the 9/11 release of BP3 and for a re-release slated for Christmas.




Get your earplugs ready!

THE CARTER'S TROUBLE IN PARADISE




Mr. & Mrs. Carter are vacationing in Croatia right now but this is not the vacation they were expecting!




Jay-Z, Beyonce & their bodyguard Julius were getting irritated with the papparazzi following them around, a normal reaction from celebrities, but Jigga was so annoyed he ended up yelling at the papz, screaming that he was on vacation & to leave them alone!




As the 3 hopped into a speedboat, Julius stomped on one of the unruly papz' & the guy ends up throwing his tripod stand at them! Check out the vid:








These Croatians are nuts! How you gonna throw stuff at Jay-Z?! Ya lucky he ain't get Brooklyn on ya asses!

I don't know why she was even a guest but she went on DJ Whoo Kid's radio show & started talking smack about Cassie (non relevant) & super duper star Beyonce!:









Can Brooke justify even being a singer??? I didn't think so. Bitch sit your wannabe R&B, fake boobed, daddy loving ass down! Sell some records first then you can talk.




Nobody messes with Beyonce!

EVA LONGORIA & BEYONCE LESBIAN LOVE?




You might have heard the rumor a while ago about Eva Longoria & Beyonce possibly starring in a lesbian flick together.



Well the rumors are resurfacing & it looks like the movie may be a go! The ladies will be starring in Tipping The Velvet, a book written by Sarah Waters; based in the 1800's about Nancy Astley (who Eva would play), an oyster girl from the English town of Whistable who falls in love with a male impersonator and stage performer named Kitty Butler (Beyonce's character) while dealing with the economic class & oppression during the time.




And word has it the 2 ladies will be doing a sex scene together. Guess those rumored private room strip clubs trips Beyonce occasionally went to holds some truth.




No idea yet if it'll keep its timeline in the 1800's or whether it'll be adapted into a modern story for the big screen but one thing is certain, all the men in the world are gonna love this one while Beyonce is definitely pulling out all the stops to win that Oscar she's been dreaming about. Tread carefully B, Jake Gylenhall & Heath Ledger went all in for Brokeback Mountain & didn't win nothing but a gay scene they want erased from all our minds!





Btw, Tipping The Velvet is Victorian slang for cunnilingus.





Mmmm hmm. How raunchy!!!

THE KNOWLES IN JAPAN DURING 6.6 RICTER SCALE EARTHQUAKE!





Beyonce & Solange were in Japan during an earthquake that hit yesterday!!!



The Knowles sisters are in the country doing a press conference for the Samantha Thavasa Disney handbag collection, whom their the spokeswomen for. They were staying in one of the cities who were effected by a 6.6 ricter scale earthquake that rattled Japan!



The earthquake reportedly started at 5AM local time & so far no casualites are being reported.





Solange took to her Twitter to talk about how Beyonce was scared but Solo slept through the whole thing:



solotwit





It was prolly because of that friendly green she likes to call verde.





And word has it Jessica Simpson was also in Japan as well during the earthquake.

MAN ARRESTED THREATENED TO KILL THE CARTERS




When you're as famous as these 2 you gotta deal with all of the psychotic people out there. It comes with the territory!




Leon Desmond Barrett of Detroit, Michigan has been charged with threatening to kill Jay-Z and his wifey Beyonce!



In a complaint filed yesterday, Barrett had allegedly sent dozens of threatening letters with promises of doing violent acts to the couple between 2006 and 2009.




Crazy ass people!!!! What did they ever do to you?!




Envy is a sin mang.




Btw, I've never really noticed this before but Beyonce has some big ol' ears. Ehhhh. I still loves her though!








That's a pretty drawing of them isn't it?





Jay-z has been tapped in to be one of the many artists who will perform on The Jay Leno Show premiere on September 14th @ 10PM. He'll be performing alongside Rihanna & Kanye West as well so I'm sure they'll be doing Run This Town.

JAY'Z NEW BOOK TO BE TITLED "DECODED"





I've been hearing for a while that Jay-Z's working on a book but couldn't find any specific details about it.





No need to look anymore because Hov's finally spoken up about his new memoir entitled Decoded.





In the book, he'll finally be opening up about his marriage to Beyonce and how it came to be, old relationships, his life growing up in Marcy Projects while slangin crack as a living and he'll divulge his rhyming secrets!





Genius marketing. I'm sure the book will be released in & around the same time Blueprint 3 drops.

BEYONCE NEW DEREON AD


(Click to enlarge)




Despite her songwriting dilemma, Beyonce shot a dope promo ad for her new line of House of Dereon clothing.




Is she praising the Lord in the first one? The 2nd shot looks really animated, me likes! The third, the cut and lace up back is nice but what's up with the flea market dress print? I adore the 4th look because she looks completely out of character! The 5th is something I'd rock and look number 6, fierce! But who's gonna rock that bodysuit outside in public?





Her affordable line is coming soon to stores.

Diddy also made an appearance on Late Night with Letterman last night:










Let me find out MJ was tryina holla at Beyonce. Go ahead now LOL!




NEW YORK POST WRITES MRS. JAY-Z IS NO SONGWRITER





The New York Post has an article questioning Beyonce's credibility when it comes to writing her "songs".




There's been plenty speculation over the years of Beyonce & manager/father Matthew Knowles buying the rights to songs by other people in a hefty amount just so B could have her name writer underneath the credits as songwriter.




Here's the article in the New York Post where they talk about her songwriting on her I Am . . . Sasha Fierce album:


Ms. Jay-Z has been called out by two different R&B ladies for not writing songs she claims are hers. According to Rap-Up magazine, Chrisette Michele revealed that Beyonce’s hit single “Ego” was originally meant for her own album “Epiphany” but she decided to hand it over to the Queen B. And here is the shady part: The track is credited to producer Elvis Williams, Beyonce Knowles and Harold Lilly … not vocal Goddess Chrisette. (Update: Beyonce was not mentioned by Christette as a writter on “Ego” when offered the song, which she turned down but did not write).


The day before that story broke, a video blog post (I think the kids are calling them vlogs, who the hell knows) by Destiny’s Child ex-member Michelle Williams and producer Rico Love was published as well. The two discussed the songwriting and production surrounding Michelle’s “Unexpected” LP, which seemed super normal. Until they brought up Beyonce’s “Sweet Dreams” track and various other songs that Rico wrote for her “I Am … Sasha Fierce” album.


Rico said to Michelle, “I did ‘Radio’ and ‘Scared Of Lonely,’ but I co-wrote ‘Scared Of Lonely’ with Solange, Lashawn Daniels, and Crystile.” Wait … you didn’t say Beyonce, Rico? But ASCAP has her name on the song’s credits. You little sneaky wig-wearing diva. All it takes is a few measly scraps of your millions, and these folks are happy to give you a good track.



Say it ain't so! You stood apart from all the other female singers in the industry as far as lyrics because you wrote them. Or now supposedly wrote them.




I do remember that story about her paying off some lady for the rights to If I Were A Boy which included a promised duet with the person when they create their own album.




Oh no B!

NIA LONG DISSES BEYONCE



Actress Nia Long has got some words for Beyonce!


In the latest issue of Pride Magazine in the UK, Nia talks about black actresses, how singers should stick to singing unless you're Jamie Foxx & Beyonce's performance in the movie Obsessed:


“I didn’t see ‘Obsessed,’ so I can’t comment, but it’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate?’ When you see certain people – we won’t name names – they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes. If you’re a singer not an actress, you should sing. If you’re a rapper, you should rap. If you take time to develop your craft, God bless you. Jamie Foxx is an example of both [actor and singer].”


“If you were able to take all the Black actresses and the choices we’ve made collectively, it’s a pure reflection of what you see on film. People need to work. But the content? The opportunities for Black actresses are more widespread today, but the quality has suffered."





Well Nia might be have a shitfest when she finds out that an Obsessed 2 is in development and that Beyonce's management team has been working overtime trying to negotiate a deal where the singer is said to make a huge amount for her role again!


Obsessed was a thriller/suspense flick dealing with a stalker chick who's after Beyonce's husband. Hoeever in the sequel, there's rumors that Beyonce will be cheating on her husband and ultimately gets a stalker herself!


Can't knock the movie if I wanted to. It made a considerable amount at the box office on opening day!

MY FAVORITE LADIES DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST!

SWEATY PICS A BIG NO NO

According to the New York Daily News Beyonce has reportedly ordered photographers not to photograph her from behind on her current world tour because she sweats so much!


Her dance routines are so energetic she is left dripping wet afterward so she has demanded photographers only to shoot from certain angles to preserve her modesty.


A source tells the publication, “Beyonce’s costumes are so tiny and her choreography is so complicated that inevitably she sweats. It looks pretty gross, so no one is allowed to shoot her from that particular angle any more.”


Can you blame her? Nobody would want their photo taken while they're perspiring. Not sexy at all!



DONT MESS WITH THE KNOWLES SISTERS



Solange has got her sister's back to the end as all sister's should do!


She recently defended Beyonce on her Twitter when she received a bunch of hate messages from people:


Dear @solangeknowles please tell your sister 2 go away for like…ever. Thank U. BTW, J Hudson & Jas Sullivan sing far better. Thanks :-)


Lmao @solangeknowles! girl stop & breathe, it’s called an opinion. they’re like assholes u kno…we all have em & some of us act like’em lol
let’s c…every vid where she’s shakin her ass & singing songs about shakin her ass. she objectifies herself


tina (turner) & bey = apples & oranges. think about the eras you’re comparing. when tina did the thing labels weren’t promoting sex, just talent most of the “artists” bein promoted by current labels r propped up 2 b sex symbols, regardless of talent or merit. they don’t even hav 2 sound good most of the time they just need 2 look the part. & if it ain sex then it’s “mother earth” or “rocker chick” pick a mask. point is, sum artists sell out & sell their souls (beyonce) 2 get big while others languish nnear obscurity (lauryn hill) talent ain’t rewarded, ass shakin & weave flingin is. & i’m done. peace


So like every caring sister would do, she responded with this:


…sick of people thinking I’m gonna be my sisters enemy.You are FAR out of line.Take your fake “love and healing" somewhere else. Now that was the “nice” read.Next person who hits me with some negative energy about my sister is gonna get Fox news all over again.Ya hear! Don’t try to love ME becuz u want 2 be the “anti Beyonce”.I am the “all for” Beyonce.Now kiss both of our Knowles asses if u don’t like it! Call me whatever u want to, but next time I say “yo momma….” don’t flinch. See how u feel. Now back to your regular scheduled programming. I’m back in the booth creating & she is somewhere shutting down a sold out show kisses…


Feisty one isn't she. Way to get em' mama!
