Beyonce Covers Billboard Magazine

Amanda — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:41:00 +0000

Beyonce is featured on the cover of Billboard magazine and was named ‘Woman of the Year’. The singer’s father and manager, Matthew Knowles, talked to the magazine about what the future holds for his daughter, to which he replied “I can’t predict. But I hope she will be enjoying the fruits of her labor with a continuing mix of music, film, corporate projects; helping others as she does now; and moving into other endeavors like maybe painting. Most people don’t know this, but she’s a really good painter. Family is also important to her. I see her having a long-lasting career but hopefully not working as hard as she is now.”

Singer Beyonce’s new fragrance is set to hit shops in Spring 2010.

Celebrity fragrance factory Coty will stock the former Destiny’s Child members scent and the deal could earn the Halo singer up to US$20 million over three years.

The wife of rapper Jay-Z told WWD: “For me, fragrance reflects a woman’s attitude and unique sense of style.”

She added: “While I love various perfumes, I haven’t found a scent that truly personifies me as a woman. Working with Coty, I was able to turn my ideal fragrance into a reality by creating an alluring and sophisticated fragrance; one that’s reflective of my inner power.”

Having previously been the face of massive perfumes such as Tommy Hilfiger’s True Star, the star will now be the face of her own fragrance.

Ryan Tedder Responds to Kelly Clarkson

Amanda — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 22:18:19 +0000

Kelly Clarkson recently accused songwriter Ryan Tedder of reusing aspects of Beyonce’s ‘Halo’ for the original American Idol champ’s new single ‘Already Gone’. The One Republic singer took to his official blog to clear the air, saying “…Alleging that I copied myself or “pulled a fast one” on Kelly Clarkson. This couldn’t be farther from the truth and the whole thing is absurd….however, I need to actually read what the hell is going on, make a call or 2, and be fully informed of it, then I assure you I will have a proper, respectful response. I don’t take allegations of this nature lightly- ESPECIALLY when it’s in regards to artists I respect and admire. Nor do I let things like this go unaddressed. So, give me a minute, and I’ll tell u whatsup and what really happened, or in this case, “didn’t” happen.” Oddly enough, he deleted this message shortly after posting it.

Man accused of Beyonce death-threat letters appears in court

Amanda — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 20:35:33 +0000

A man accused of sending death threats to hip-hop couple Jay-Z and Beyonce has been ordered to undergo psychiatric evaluation by a judge.

Leon Desmond Barrett is alleged to have penned more than a dozen letters between December 2006 and April 2009 that he sent to the celebrity duo, and to other stars.

A letter on 18 August 2007 read: “I’m getting ready to start killing some more people. Beyonce, Jay-Z, Jerome Bettis and Tune-up Man are the first four people I’m getting ready to kill.”

According to police, some of the handwritten notes referred to a reported dispute between Barrett and Bettis’ family, with one stating: “We do not want to have a gunfight with them but if we have to, we will. I guess it (sic) going to be another Virginia Tech. massacre all over again in Detroit.”

Barrett, 37, from Detroit, Michigan was also ordered by U.S. Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen not to possess guns or other dangerous weapons and not to communicate with potential victims in the case when he appeared in court in Detroit on Wednesday.

Barrett was charged on Tuesday, following an investigation by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

He is accused of sending the series of threatening letters to the NFL Hall of Fame and to other addresses around the US.

Kelly Clarkson Copying Beyonce

Amanda — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:48:59 +0000

There have been loud whispers regarding the similarity between Kelly Clarkson’s latest single ‘Already Gone’ and Beyonce’s ballad ‘Halo’. The original American Idol is stating for the record that she is not a music thief. Kelly says that her song was written before ‘Halo’ was even being produced. The similarity can be accounted to be due to songwriter/producer Ryan Tedder of One Republic. Kelly said “Ryan and I met each other at the record label, before he was working with anyone else… We wrote about six songs together, four or five of them made the album. I’d never heard of a song called Halo. Her album came out when my album was already being printed. No one’s gonna be sittin’ at home, thinkin’ ‘Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyonce and Kelly the same track to write to.’ No, they’re just gonna be sayin I ripped someone off. I called Ryan and said ‘I don’t understand. Why would you do that?’” Rumor has it that Beyonce heard Kelly’s demo of ‘Already Gone’ and demanded that Ryan produce a similar tune for her.

Beyoncé backstage intruder

Amanda — Fri, 29 May 2009 19:05:29 +0000

Beyoncé reportedly had a near-miss at a recent gig – when a fan breached security and managed to get close to her.

It is claimed Beyoncé, 27, was walking with bodyguards between the stage and her sister Solange’s dressing room at London’s IndigO2 club when the man tried to speak to her.

Earlier in the evening, the singer had performed at London’s O2 Arena as part of her I Am… tour.

An onlooker said: “A man barged through the backstage door just as Beyoncé was walking past.”

The onlooker added: “He cried out her name with his arms outstretched before security bundled him back out again.

“He said he wanted to see Jay-Z to give him a demo tape.”

Beyonce’s fans not too bright

Amanda — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 19:25:45 +0000

A scientist by the name of Virgil Griffith recently created a study called “Music that makes you dumb” and Beyonce’s music came second to bottom in that study. Virgil Griffith said this about his study: “I’ve listened to artists and afterward thought to myself, ‘Wow… loving this rubbish says a lot about someone and how much they’ve got going on in their head.’ Could one’s musical tastes say something about intelligence? How about SAT scores? Well, like any good scientist, I decided to see how well my personal experience matches reality.” Of course, it’s not Beyonce’s fault that her music doesn’t stimulate intelligence. I mean, she does all that an artist can do to elevate the human being above itself… or was it to make a lot of money?

Beyonce’s Controversial Oscar Performance

Amanda — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 19:08:10 +0000

Beyonce joined 2009 Oscars host Hugh Jackman on stage for a musical number. There’s a bit of controversy surrounding that performance now. Some people say that Beyonce was lip synching during her performance, singing to a track, using auto-tune or relying on her background singers way too much. Beyonce was definitely off of her game that night which is bad considering the rest of the performers on the number did so well – and they were not professional singers. I guess her dress wasn’t the only thing wrong for Beyonce that night. She needs to step up her game! I’m not used to this.

‘I Inspired Rihanna & Beyonce’ – Paula Abdul

Amanda — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 21:12:09 +0000

This is so typical of so many Hollywood celebrities to stake claim that they paved the way for the success of today’s stars’ and the latest to join the bandwagon of self preaching celebrities is Paula Abdul who says she is behind the success of Rihanna & Beyonce.

She says, “My videos stand the test of time. They are like the almanac for every performer. Even Rhianna has come up to me and said ‘I hope you don’t mind.’ And Beyonce You can see the influence of what I’ve done. It’s really fun to see that I’ve left a mark. It was my idea to create an animated character. It takes a lot of focus, a lot time, and a lot of money.”

I won’t be too critical of her cos’ I have heard her song “Straight Up” and it is one of the BEST songs & I STILL dance to it! But ok even if you have done some good work and created new path for the new generation just stop claiming that you’re the messiah. When someone states something like that for publicity, they are taking a chance of being laughed at!

Sheryl Crow, Beyonce, Springsteen wows Obama inaugural audience

Amanda — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 03:03:20 +0000

Thousands of Americans who witnessed the pre-inaugural concert of US President Barack Obama were bowled over by the stellar list of celebrities who performed during the concert especially Sheryl Crow, Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen and a lot more. The “We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial” held in Washington, D.C. last January 18 was a star-studded event. Obama, his wife Michelle and their kids as well as Vice President Biden and his wife were seated near the stage but were covered by a bullet-proof glass.

Springsteen’s “The Rising” was a rousing performance made more memorable by the gospel choir who wore red and white robes that stunningly contrasted with Springsteen’s black. While everyone was nostalgic when the famous words of John F. Kennedy were read by Martin Luther King III they all started to loosen up with Mary J. Blige’s rendition of “Lean On Me” and Jon Bon Jovi’s duet with Betty LaVette. The crowd, which became serious once again when Tom Hanks talked about Abraham Lincoln, became upbeat again when James Taylor, Faith Hill and John Legend sang together. John Mellencamp’s “Ain’t That America” was a fitting tribute to VP Biden’s speech about work being not only about money but dignity and respect.

Why cancel Beyonce and Solange?

Amanda — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 18:50:14 +0000

Beyonce and Solange Knowles have canceled their Beyonce and Solange: Hope for the Holidays benefit show, citing “irresolvable scheduling conflicts.”
Raise yer hand if you believe them!
(none? Alright!)
The concert was supposed to benefit victims of Hurricane Ike and was scheduled for December 9th, to be televised by FUSE.
As of the moment, there’s still no word yet on when or even if the show will be rescheduled, but the record label released a statement saying, “Beyonce and Solange regret the cancellation of their Houston-area holiday concert and urge their fans to support the efforts of The Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund and the Survivor Foundation.”
Irresolvable scheduling conflicts my A$$!
