Beyonce has denied she is not attending MOBO awards in Glasgow because city is
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Music Award, Music People on the September 29, 2009
Singer Beyonce has denied reports she is not attending the upcoming MOBO awards in Glasgow, Scotland because the city is “too white”.
Beyonce, 28, is nominated for an award at the bash but will not be attending the ceremony to pick up the gong.
After performing for cancer patients at a hospital in Singapore, the singer was asked about the rumours and she said: “That’s just not true.”
Former MOBO panelist Paul McKenzie said: “The real problem is getting the stars to go to Glasgow. I can understand why the MOBOs went to Glasgow - because they were having problems getting the council to foot the bill for security. But it doesn’t work.”
Beyonce’s team are insisting that the star was just not able to attend the bash.
An insider said: “The slur about Glasgow is just not true. Beyonce knows exactly where it is.
“I think you’ll find that Beyonce is not the type of person to be impressed by the idea that she would snub one city over the other. Glasgow was good enough for her when she toured the UK. She thought the audience were wonderful.”
Singer Beyonce has reportedly been targeted by extremists who want her to cancel one of her gigs
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Concert on the September 24, 2009
Singer Beyonce has reportedly been targeted by extremists who want her to cancel one of her gigs.
It is claimed the singer’s sexy outfits and stage routines have upset a right-wing Muslim party who call her routines “immoral” and a danger to young people.
The party are reportedly threatening to “take action” to stop the Sweet Dreams singer performing a show on her I Am… tour near to Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur, which is set for October 24.
Beyonce, 28, had to pull out of a gig in Malaysia two years ago because of the same issues.
The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party said: “This performance is not suitable for Muslims - her attire and behaviour onstage are immoral.”

Classy Beyonce makes sure Taylor Swift gets her moment of VMAs glory
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Kanye West, MTV VMA, Taylor Swift on the September 14, 2009
Big-hearted Beyonce made sure Taylor Swift got her moment of glory at the MTV Video Music Awards by inviting her back on stage after tactless Kanye West wrecked her acceptance speech.
Classy Beyonce called Taylor to join her as she collected the Best Music Video Award and gave the country starlet chance to finish the speech Kanye rudely interrupted.
Stars in the audience including Katy Perry and Lady GaGa stood to applaud teenager Taylor and the generous gesture.
Emotional Taylor gave Beyonce a big hug before going on to finish her thank-yous for her Best Female Video Award.
Ironically, Kanye had stormed the stage because he thought that award should have gone to Beyonce for Single Ladies, which ended up taking the Best Video prize.
Beyonce told the audience: “I remember being 17 years old, up for my first MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments in my life.
“So I would like Taylor to come out and have her moment.”
Taylor, who had earlier been left stunned when Kanye grabbed the microphone from her, smiled: “Maybe we can try again.

Beyonce to take 37-second helicopter ride to gig
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Gwen Stefani on the September 7, 2009
Singer Beyonce Knowles is set to take a 37-second helicopter ride from her hotel to her gig venue.
The former Destiny’s Child member, along with stars including Pharell Williams and Gwen Stefani, will be performing in Singapore later this month at the F1 Rocks concert but will be travelling to the gig in style.
A source told British newspaper the Daily Star: “These stars need a stylish and speedy journey to the performance, so a helicopter journey - even one of under a minute - is the only way to go. This is not a case of diva demands but necessity.
“The stars will be staying in Singapore’s top hotel, which is only a short journey to where the concerts are being held - but we’re expecting hundreds of thousands of people to line the streets.”

Jay-Z Apologizes
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, JAY-Z, Rapper on the September 7, 2009
I’m sure people still remember the hullaballoo back in April 2008 when Beyonce and Jay-Z had their secret wedding. Apparently, it was such a secret that many people weren’t even invited. The rapper explains that only a select few were honored enough to have gotten invitations to the nuptials, including the likes of Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Gwyneth Paltrow. But the snub actually got some people’s feelings hurt. Jay-Z said “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.” Is this really that important to discuss a year after the fact?
Beyonce and Destiny’s Child to reunite in 2010
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Concert, album on the September 1, 2009
Pop band Destiny’s Child plan to get back together in 2010.
The trio - Michelle Williams, 29, Beyonce Knowles, 27, and Kelly Rowland, 28, are said to be looking to reunite.
Bandmate Michelle told British News of the World newspaper: “It definitely will happen. We’re sisters, we love each other and we want to work on the future of Destiny’s Child.”
The Bootylicious beauties went their separate ways in 2005 to pursue their own solo careers. Reportedly the girls have to get back together because their contract states they have to produce another album.
A source said: “They still have another album they owe their label, Columbia Records, on their contract.”
The three members of the American R&B group will go back into the studio when Beyonce finishes her current tour, promoting her album I Am… Sasha Fierce.

Kelly Clarkson Done with Record Label
Posted in American Idol, Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Clarkson, Song on the August 4, 2009
Kelly Clarkson’s record label is said to be pissed about the original American Idol champ shooting her mouth off about the drama surrounding her latest single ‘Already Gone’. Kelly got fed up about her song getting compared with Beyonce’s ‘Halo’ as the two songs have the same backing track produced by Ryan Tedder. Kelly ranted that she asked her label to not release ‘Already Gone’ as a single but that they basically threw her under a bus. Now, it seems that her label is already fed up with her and threatened her that they would be done with the album – no more money for videos, no more singles and no more promotions. Yikes!
Musicians Grieve for Michael Jackson
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Michael Jackson on the June 30, 2009
Some of the greatest musicians have released statements via their reps regarding the death of pop music icon Michael Jackson. Everyone from Madonna to Donny Osmond to Justin Timberlake to Beyonce have something to say about the death of the singer. Madonna seems to have been greatly affected saying “I can’t stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless.” Justin moved me with his words by saying “I can’t find the words right now to express how deeply sadden [sic] I am by Michael’s passing. We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music, but of all music. He has been an inspiration to multiple generations and I will always cherish the moments I shared with him on stage and all of the things I learned about music from him and the time we spent together. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.”

Beyonce duets with George Michael
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Duet, George Michael, Performance on the June 11, 2009
Beyonce fans were shocked when George Michael appeared on stage with the star to sing a duet.
The former Wham! singer joined Beyonce in singing If I were A Boy at London’s O2 Arena.
The Daily Mirror reported that the Crazy in Love star wore a police uniform during the performance - just like the sort Michael wore in his outrageous video for Outside.
The paper reported that after the show she had blackened cod delivered to her dressing room, while Michael went to Nobu in London for supper.

No Jonas Brothers on YouTube
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Singer, Singers, Video, YouTube on the June 10, 2009
The Jonas Brothers’ YouTube account has just been suspended and none of the videos they have posted can be accessed on the site. It seems like the band of brothers didn’t go through the appropriate channels when they posted a video of Joe dancing to Beyonce’s hit ‘Single Ladies’. Beyonce is on Sony BMG, a competing label to the Jonas’ Hollywood Records. The label probably sent a cease and desist order to YouTube. The clip has since been removed due to terms of use violation. Couldn’t they have just yanked that video instead of suspending the account and yanking all the other videos?

Beyonce Teams Up with Vegas Hotel
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Music, Tickets Sale on the May 8, 2009
Beyonce is teaming up with Encore in Las Vegas this summer. The singer will be performing at the hotel with four very special ‘I Am… Yours’ shows. The performances are scheduled for July 30, 31, August 1 and 2. The tickets for Beyonce’s shows are even being sold as vacation packages that include accommodations at the Sin City resort. It’s a sweet two for one deal. If you go to her show and end up not liking it, you can find some way to chill at the hotel. And with the crappy economy that the whole world is in right now, all parties win in that partnership.

Etta James Hates Beyonce
Posted in Beyonce Knowles on the February 9, 2009
While the whole country couldn’t help but fall in love with Beyonce over her performance of ‘At Last’ as the President and his wife’s first dance, 71-year old Etta James actually threatened to beat the crap out of the younger singer. At a concert in Seattle last week, Etta expressed her anger while on stage. She told the crowd “Your President, the one with the big ears … he had that woman singing my song. She gone get her ass whipped. The great Beyonce … I can’t stand Beyonce.” I find it ironic that Etta didn’t kick up a fuss when Beyonce portrayed her in ‘Cadillac Records’.
