Beyonce opens make-up school for recovering drug addicts

Amanda — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:39:37 +0000

Beyonce has opened a make-up school for recovering drug addicts.

The chart star made a surprise appearance at a New York substance abuse clinic with her mother, Tina, where she cut the ribbon on the Beyonce Cosmetology Center.

It was set up at Brooklyn’s Phoenix House after the star spent time there researching her role in movie drama Cadillac Records. She was so moved by the experience that she donated her salary from the film to the centre.

The seven-month programme will help recovering addicts rebuild their lives and embark on careers in the cosmetics industry.

Beyonce, 28, and her mother have pledged to donate $100,000 annually.

She said at the launch: “I felt like they needed something that was geared towards women – something that would teach them skills that would give them hope even after the Phoenix House.”

Sasha Fierce is Dead

Amanda — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:44:32 +0000

Last week was pretty tragic for gay men everywhere around the world as Beyonce has decided to put to rest her alter ego Sasha Fierce for good once she wraps up her tour. The R&B singer said “Sasha Fierce is done. I killed her.” If that wasn’t bad enough, Beyonce isn’t recording any more music until she learns to pain and cook, and to go to Broadway shows and museums. Basically, she wants to have a career hiatus to live a pretty normal life. I’m kind of on the fence on this. I was pretty annoyed with the whole Sasha Fierce deal but without her, I think Beyonce is just boring.

Beyonce voted best celebrity body by British women

Amanda — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 19:55:21 +0000

Singer Beyonce has been voted the celebrity with the best body by British women.

The curvy star came top of the new poll by landing 24 per cent of the vote, but men believe that Transformers star Megan Fox has the best body and said she is the woman they would sleep with if allowed to by their partner.

The poll was carried out by Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

It also found that British model Katie Price is becoming less popular as a third of men and women voted her the least attractive celebrity.

Both sexes also voted that Victoria Beckham has the worst figure out of other celebrities.

The poll was carried out to mark the release of Fox’s new movie, Jennifer’s Body, on DVD.

Beyonce Gives Away Tickets for Argentina Show

Amanda — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 14:23:05 +0000

I guess Argentina doesn’t love Beyonce as much as some other parts of the world. Sources are saying that sales for the R&B diva’s Buenos Aires concert today was so crappy that the city’s major newspaper had to resort to giving away tickets for free. Tickets were reportedly selling for 800 pesos or $210 at the highest and 150 pesos or $53 at the lowest. That’s more than Madonna was charging! The venue is also about a 40 minute drive from the city center and many in town use public transportation. I guess Beyonce needs to come back down to earth and be more accommodating.

Beyonce to Remake Barbra Streisand Classic

Amanda — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 19:28:19 +0000

Rumor has it that Beyonce and Russell Crowe are up for the lead roles in a Warner Brothers remake of the Barbra Streisand classic ‘A Star is Born’. Beyonce is no Barbra and Russell is no Kris Kristofferson. However, I do appreciate that the pair of them would make for one of the most prominent on-screen interracial relationships since Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner in ‘The Bodyguard’. The diversity is nice but I don’t really know about the remake. I just hate the way some people just mess with the classics when they don’t have to. Can’t anyone make original movies these days?

Beyonce ‘definitely’ wants a child one day but hopes it isn’t in near future

Amanda — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 22:37:18 +0000

Singer Beyonce said she ‘definitely’ wants a child one day but hopes it isn’t in the near future.

The 28-year-old beauty has a five-year-old nephew Julez and said, despite enjoying the little boy, she’s not ready for one of her own.

She said: “I definitely want to have a child, but I know from my nephew it’s a lot.

“I hope that those things will just happen naturally. I still haven’t had time to relax.”

She also spoke about maintaining her curvy figure: “I always say: ‘I don’t want to lose my curves.’ You can never do enough sit-ups.

“I like for women to look feminine.”

Beyonce criticised for performing private concert for Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi’s son

Amanda — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 21:48:00 +0000

Beyonce has been criticised for performing a private concert for Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi’s son.

The 28-year-old beauty has been criticised after reports that she spent New Year’s Eve performing at a party hosted by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s son Moutassim.

The event allegedly took place at nightclub Nikki Beach on the island of St Barts in the Caribbean and it is claimed she was paid $2million for entertaining the likes of Usher, Lindsay Lohan and Gaddafi Jr.

Marc Lamont Hill, a Columbia University media professor, said on CNN: “Beyonce’s handlers usually make really good decisions about where she’s going to perform…

“So it seems to me that someone was asleep at the wheel, or the money was so overwhelming that they said: ‘Screw the public image, we’re going to take the cash.’”

Lady Gaga is Woman of the Year

Amanda — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 23:10:50 +0000

Lady Gaga was recently named MTV News’ Woman of the Year and beat out the likes of Taylor Swift, Britney Spears and Beyonce. As they put it, “There’s no one who challenged, provoked, entertained and, well, titillated us over the past 12 months quite like she has.” There’s no argument from me! The princess of pop deserves it so very much! However, if any of the other three singers won the award, they pretty much deserve it too because they fit the bill. It’s just that if you rank them all, Lady Gaga is clearly at the top of the mountain.

New JLo Video

Amanda — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:09:22 +0000

There’s a new music video out for the song ‘Fresh Out the Oven’ by Lola, more famously known as Jennifer Lopez. The singer also happens t call the song as “just a warm up track”. The song, featuring rapper Pitbull, which was first released in teaser clips online last month, will not be on the Latina’s upcoming album but it’s an idea of what we can expect from her new music. She also said that Lola isn’t a Sasha Fierce type of alter ego like Beyonce’s. it’s being said that the name is actually hubby Marc Anthony’s nickname for her.
