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 Joins Haiti Telethon

Amanda — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 02:20:22 +0000

Beyonce Knowles is going to be a part of the star-studded Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief telethon which airs later tonight. The 28-year old singer will join her hubby Jay-Z, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Bono, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna and many others. According to MTV, all performances and collaborations will be available on iTunes on Saturday with proceeds of the sales going towards the relief efforts. The telethon will air commercial-free on MTV and network channels as well as on Canada’s CTV, CBC Television and MuchMusic.

Rihanna on Top

Amanda — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 21:54:38 +0000

There’s absolutely no stopping Rihanna. The Barbadian beauty has just earned her thirteenth Top 10 Single of her career with her song ‘Hard’ which recently made the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 list. I know it’s kind of hard to take in considering Rihanna’s latest music doesn’t seem up to par with her past hits. But you have to admit that being who she is helps. This now ties the R&B singer with Beyonce for having the most Hot 100 Top 10s among female artists since 2000. Congratulations Rihanna! I hope she gets more hits and that she improves from her releases this year.

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.’”

Beyonce and Jay-Z Change Names

Amanda — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 01:57:07 +0000

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.

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.

Beyonce to perform at next year’s Grammys

Amanda — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 22:17:36 +0000

Beyonce is one of the acts confirmed to perform at next year’s Grammy Awards in LA.

The singer will entertain the crowd at LA’s Staples Center on January 31 along with Black Eyed Peas and Taylor Swift.

Meanwhile, Beyonce is vying for 10 awards at the 2010 ceremony, while Taylor Swift has received eight nominations.

British acts Depeche Mode, Coldplay, Imogen Heap and The Ting Tings are also among the nominees.

The nominations were read out earlier this month by rap star LL Cool J.

Beyonce Takes a Break

Amanda — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:42:57 +0000

Beyonce has been one busy bee this past year or so. That’s why in 2010, the singer has decided to take some well deserved time off to actually enjoy the city in which she lives in. She has announced that she will be taking several months off from being in the entertainment lime light and start exploring New York and the rest of the world. Beyonce said “I’m going to take – hopefully – a couple of months off. I’m not going to plan anything. I’ll perhaps take some art classes, I’ll visit some museums and I’ll check out some shows on Broadway. I’d like to travel somewhere – maybe back to Egypt – without anyone, without any security, and focus on things I’ve always wanted to do myself.” I doubt that the paparazzi would leave her alone during her so-called alone time.

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.
