While the marriage of Beyonce’s marriage is on the outs, the singer’s marriage to rapper Jay-Z seems to be getting stronger, especially with the couple’s latest move. The twosome will now be known as Shawn Knowles-Carter and Beyonce Knowles-Carter. A source explains the newly hyphenated names, saying “They want to keep Knowles because Bey’s parents didn’t have any sons and they’re keen to keep the name going strong, especially if they don’t produce any sprogs themselves. Or if they end up just having girls.” Talk about being crazy in love! Here’s to hoping that their relationship indeed lasts the trials of being celebrities.
Carrie Underwood flashed off her new engagement ring as she watched her fiancé, Mike Fisher of the Ottawa Senators, take on the Boston Bruins during an NHL hockey game in Canada earlier this week. A spokesperson from the Diamond Information Center says that the 26-year old country singer’s ring is estimated to be a five-plus carat brilliant round diamond with diamond side stones, worth over $150,000. I guess Mike is a big spender. But when you’ve got Carrie as your soon to be wife, who wouldn’t want to shower her with all the things that you can get your hands on?
After much urging via the internet, Rage Against the Machine’s 1992 hit single ‘Killing in the Name’ now holds the top spot as the UK’s Christmas Number One!

The fans have obviously spoken.
