| Diddy Celebrates 50th Birthday with Kim, Kanye, Jay-Z, Beyonce - TMZ Posted: 15 Dec 2019 07:20 AM PST  ExclusiveDiddy celebrated his half-century on earth in pretty spectacular fashion, with the help of several tons of celebs. The mogul's 50th birthday bash went down Saturday at his $40 million Holmby Hills home, where Diddy celebrated with Jay-Z, Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Khloe Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Dr. Dre, Pharrell Williams, Cardi B, Offset, G-Eazy, Chadwick Boseman, Post Malone, Tyler Perry, Kobe Bryant, Machine Gun Kelly and on and on. Possibly the biggest headline from the evening, Jay and Ye shaking hands! Seemingly squashing their years-long beef.  GettyAs for the performers ... how 'bout Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil' Kim and Doug E. Fresh? As for the eats ... McDonald's apple pies, breakfast sandwiches and some fancy stuff too. There were lots of CBD and weed products served -- courtesy of The BRN Group -- and, of course, Ciroc Vodka all over the place. Diddy's birthday is actually November 4, but he apparently waited so all his friends could join him. He's had a rough patch for sure ... a little more than a year ago the mother of his twins -- Kim Porter -- died due to complications from pneumonia. The cake inscription was short, sweet, and to the point. It simply said "LOVE." A good time ... clearly had by all.  |
| Beyoncé Reveals How Suffering Miscarriages Changed Her Outlook on Life - Oprah Mag Posted: 14 Dec 2019 06:00 AM PST  Christopher PolkGetty Images
While Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is a musical powerhouse and pop culture icon, she is also notoriously private. The actor, singer, director, producer, fashion designer, and mother of three rarely dishes on her personal life. But Beyoncé is opening up about her struggles and successes in the latest issue of Elle, including how several miscarriages affected her mindset and career. "I began to search for deeper meaning when life began to teach me lessons I didn't know I needed," Beyoncé said when a fan asked if she was "disappointed [for] not winning" more accolades for Lemonade and Homecoming. "Success looks different to me now. I learned that all pain and loss is in fact a gift. Having miscarriages taught me that I had to mother myself before I could be a mother to someone else." After the miscarriages, Beyoncé and Jay-Z went on to welcome three children: Blue Ivy, 7, and twins Rumi and Sir, 2. But motherhood (and loss) has had a profound impact on the award-winning singer. "[After] I had Blue... the quest for my purpose became so much deeper," Beyoncé said. "I died and was reborn in my relationship, and the quest for self became even stronger." "Being 'number one' was no longer my priority," she added. "My true win is creating art and a legacy that will live far beyond me. That's fulfilling." That said, Beyoncé admits finding balance can be tough.  Beyonce.com "I think the most stressful thing for me is balancing work and life. Making sure I am present for my kids—dropping Blue off at school, taking Rumi and Sir to their activities, making time for date nights with my husband, and being home in time to have dinner with my family—all while running a company can be challenging. Juggling all of those roles can be stressful," Beyoncé said. "But I think that's life for any working mom."

| 10 years of Beyoncé: A decade 'causing all this conversation' - The Conversation CA Posted: 17 Dec 2019 10:27 AM PST When the American Music Awards gave Taylor Swift the title of Artist of the Decade, TV show host Wendy Williams was likely not the only one surprised. Of this decade's pop juggernauts, Beyoncé has stood at the intersection of a turbulent political climate and a problematic celebrity culture. A look back at Beyoncé's 2010s shows that her work — radical and important — also comes with uncomfortable contradictions. Her status as celebrity and family woman has come to represent black empowerment but despite her triumphs, the singer was far from uncontroversial. 'You Know You're that Bitch When — 'The decade began rather quietly for Beyoncé who, notably, did not dominate the 2010s with hit singles. But her albums imprinted into pop history, particularly in the years after the 2011's 4. In January 2013, David Bowie released a surprise album The Next Day recorded in secret. In February of the same year, the band My Bloody Valentine released their last album on their website and, later, for free on YouTube. The surprise album drop may not have been a new invention. Yet when Beyoncé's self-titled visual album burst onto iTunes in December 2013, it forced conversations about artists bypassing traditional media and middle-men to strengthen the bond between themselves and their fans. Some stores, like Target, refused to stock the physical album in defiance. Beyoncé's legacy at the end of the decade is apparent now. Singers can garner fanbases, fame and success with little more than a Soundcloud, YouTube or Instagram account. Beyond daring business strategy, Beyoncé continued to push the creative envelope. Beyoncé was concerned with feminism. But she intensified her resistance politics when she released Lemonade in 2016 with an accompanying hour-long film on HBO. In her performances of the album after its release, Black power and Afrocentric iconography took centre stage. Notable of these was the 2016 Super Bowl halftime show, in which her performance of the anti-police brutality lead single "Formation" featured backup dancers courageously wearing the uniform of the radical Black Panther Party. Ultimately, Lemonade aligned itself with the #BlackLivesMatter movement that exploded in the middle of the decade as protests against the oppression of African Americans entered the mainstream. With its frank revelation of the infidelity of her husband, rapper Jay-Z, the album has also been hailed as a celebration of Black (female) resilience. A Black Bill Gates in the makingCriticisms of this new radical Beyoncé were parodied brilliantly by Saturday Night Live. Though some were decidedly unfair, it is true that contradictions simmer beneath the surface of her political image. How does one reconcile the centering of the African diaspora in Lemonade with her controversial 2018 Vogue interview, in which she references her slave-owning ancestor as a man who "fell in love with and married a slave"? Romanticization of the union between a white slave master and Black slave woman is especially problematic when one considers the disproportionate power dynamics between white slave owners and Black slave women during the time and the lack of agency slave women often had in such sexual relationships. Using the language of love and romance to describe such relationships between Black women and white men not only highlights Black women's lack of sociopolitical rights but seemingly clashes with her overt displays of Black feminist power. Furthermore, how does one reconcile Beyoncé's promotion of Black singers and Black women in The Gift with the theft of Black singer Ledisi's opportunity to reprise her performance in the movie Selma (2014) at the 2015 Grammys? In an industry often reluctant to give Black singers opportunities and accolades (of which Beyonce has herself been a victim), Beyonce's selection of which opportunities to give to and to take from less-exposed Black singers requires some consideration. As cultural theorist and music industry insider Kristin J. Lieb has argued, in a competitive music industry, a pop star's continued survival, wealth and fame depends on having a consumable brand. Black experience and struggle can certainly be useful commodities in that regard, especially during these politically intense times. That may or may not represent the singers' true politics. A billion dollars in an elevatorThere is a tension between Beyoncé the Black Revolutionary and Beyoncé the Business Woman/Brand in the 2010s. Her album releases are landmark cultural moments that generated conversations around feminism, Afrocentricity and artist agency. But this tension — between capitalism and liberation — shadowed Beyoncé's decade, including in the domestic sphere. At the 2011 VMAs Beyoncé ended her performance of "Love on Top" by rubbing her protruding belly, revealing her pregnancy to fans. The Knowles-Carters became one of the Black superfamilies of the 2010s. After the 2014 Met Gala, fans saw Jay-Z in elevator fight with Beyonce's sister, Solange. Fans also watched Beyoncé's firstborn, Blue Ivy, blossom and begin to participate in her mother's work. Beyoncé's child became an icon for Black empowerment for young girls. In the photoshoot for Beyoncé's second pregnancy with twins Rumi and Sir Carter, Beyoncé was staged as a pregnant goddess. The singer powerfully contradicted deep-seated cultural beliefs of pathological Black mothering famously displayed in the sociological Moynihan Report of 1965 that demonized and blamed Black mothers for the "failure" of Black families. The frenzied behaviour of Beyoncé's fans, called The Beyhive, along with Lady Gaga's Little Monsters changed fan-celebrity relationships. It marked a neoliberal turn towards intense inter-fandom competition and worship that helped lay the foundation for the today's pop fan culture. But towards the end of the 2010s, the voices of scrutiny grew louder. Like earlier criticisms of Beyonce's professed radicalism, many grew tired of the family's flaunting of their wealth and distrustful of their business endeavours. For example, the streaming service Tidal was accused of fabricating numbers of their exclusive artists (including Beyoncé). Jay-Z's 2019 deal with the National Football League despite the league's treatment of Black players and protest seemingly contradicted the family's pro-Black politics. Fans feel conflicted about Beyoncé's continued support of Jay-Z despite his famous infidelity. This tension showed in the lack of support from fans for the couple's joint 2018 album, Everything is Love. Lyrics like "Of course shit goes down when it's a billion dollars in an elevator," attempt to dismiss the tensions within the Knowles-Carter family image. And despite the continued strength of the Beyhive's support, by the end of the decade, contradictions continue to haunt the brand of the Knowles-Carters as a powerful Black family. A winner don't quit on themselvesAnd yet, the fact that Beyoncé's Black family were considered worthy of elevation and/or complex readings through nuanced critical discourse is itself an important rebuke of old anti-Black dehumanizing stereotypes. This cannot be ignored. Such is the duality of Beyoncé: a powerful Black woman working within a white patriarchal music industry in which the pursuit of fame and wealth is the goal, strategically using, yet still amplifying, narratives of Black empowerment in the mainstream. Despite the contradictions and controversies, Beyoncé's star power, virtuosity and ability to "cause all this conversation," will undoubtedly see her play an integral role in the 2020s as well.

| How Matthew Knowles Really Felt When Beyoncé Began Dating Jay-Z? - Showbiz Cheat Sheet Posted: 16 Dec 2019 10:52 AM PST Beyoncé and Jay-Z are among the top favorite couples in Hollywood. They've proven that Hollywood romances can stand the test of time by refusing to conform to the celebrity status quo of having all the details of their marriage on display. Almost 20 years after their journey began, they've set a different standard.  It's hard to believe that at one point, Beyoncé and Jay-Z dating caused havoc amongst fans and onlookers. Many found the two to be an odd pair. She was a pop star and he was viewed as a rough rapper. Another issue that often came up was their age difference. As there's a 12-year gap between them and it was speculated that they began dating before Beyoncé turned 18. They'd later clarify their dating timeline to combat rumors. But how did Beyoncé's father, Matthew Knowles feel when his daughter began dating the hip hop entrepreneur. He recently spoke about what his initial thoughts were in an interview with YouTube vlogger, DJ Vlad. A look back at Beyoncé and Jay-Z's love affairBeyoncé and Jay-Z met when the singer was 18. She had a brief cameo in his 2001 music video for "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)," along with her Destiny's Child group members. In a 2008 interview with Seventeen Magazine, she revealed that they began dating when she was 19-years-old. Jay-Z later confirmed that they were "just beginning to try to date each other." around the time that they both appeared on a 2001 music issue of Vanity Fair. A year later, Beyoncé made her solo debut on a collaboration with her beau in "03 Bonnie and Clyde." Despite paparazzi catching photos of the two all around the globe together, they both refused to acknowledge their relationship, with Beyoncé citing the need for privacy. Neither spoke about their relationship and they dogged questions in interviews. They continued to create musical magic together, with hits like "Crazy In Love" and Deja Vu," which were her lead singles from her first two solo albums. Rumors of an engagement swirled all throughout their relationship but they officially married on April 4, 2008. She confirmed they were married in an interview with Essence Magazine later that year. They welcomed their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, in 2012. They hit a rough patch that included infidelity that they both spoke about on their respective albums – Beyoncé with Lemonade and Jay-Z with 4:44. They completed two largely successful joint tours and overcome their marital hardships when they welcomed their twins, Sir and Rumi Carter, and renewed their vows in a beautiful ceremony for their 10-year wedding anniversary. The Carters continue to be powerhouses, both individually and collectively. They've scaled back on their work in recent years to focus on love and family. How did Matthew Knowles feel about Beyoncé dating Jay-Z?In his recent interview with Vlad TV, when pressed about his initial thoughts on Beyoncé and Jay-Z's relationship – and specifically how he felt about his daughter dating a "gangster rapper" – Knowles says that he never took issue with it. "I never got involved with their personal relationships," he admitted. "I can only say as a father that I hope I instilled with them the values that they'd want to look for in a man." Knowles said that Beyoncé's tribute song to him, "Daddy," where she speaks on her love and admiration for her father while wishing to find a partner just like him, coupled with her lasting relationship with Jay-Z is proof that he succeeded in his fatherly role. He also sarcastically shot back at the "gangster rapper" claim, asking Vlad, "How do you know I'm not a gangster? I've been in the music industry for over 30 years." She has her father's stamp of approval and that's what matters most!  |
| Beyoncé stuns in burgundy leotard as she shares intimate behind-the-scenes shoot - Mirror Online Posted: 17 Dec 2019 10:58 AM PST Beyoncé Knowles Carter drops a rare glimpse into her world with a new intimate video. As the super star she is, the singer looks incredible in a burgundy leotard before nailing a number of different looks for Elle January 2020's cover. The global superstar, 38, opens up about motherhood, self-care, reclaiming her Ivy Park line and what it's like to be Beyoncé away from the cameras. In the video, the singer can be seen strutting towards the camera in slow motion as a parachute opens up behind her. The video continues to show behind-the-scenes of Queen B's photo shoot for her sports clothing line Ivy Park. Many photographers, stylists and assistants are hard at work trying to get the picture-perfect shot.  She shows she's down-to-earth as she poses outside a laundrette, a wig shop and a supermarket. In the accompanying interview, the singer details how suffering miscarriages and becoming a mum has helped her to become stronger. It is her heartache and motherhood which has gone onto shape her perspective on life. The award-winning music star and actress admits success "looks different to me now" and no longer focuses on chart positions or awards. She has daughter Blue Ivy, seven, and two-year-old twins Rumi and Sir with husband rapper Jay-Z . The brunette bombshell is open about having a miscarriage two years before her eldest child was born.  Houston-born Beyonce told Elle magazine : "I began to search for deeper meaning when life began to teach me lessons I didn't know I needed. I learned that all pain and loss is in fact a gift. "Having miscarriages taught me that I had to mother myself before I could be a mother to someone else. Then I had Blue, and the quest for my purpose became so much deeper. "Being 'number one' was no longer my priority. My true win is creating art and a legacy that will live far beyond me. That's fulfilling."  The songstress - who has iconic curves - says having children and growing older has also changed her opinion on herself. The Hollywood star strongly believes she is more than her appearance. Beyoncé admits she gives "zero f***s" and it's the "most liberating place to be".  But the singer wants people to understand true beauty cannot be seen. Do you have a story to sell?

| Beyoncé Shares What Having Multiple Miscarriages Taught Her - HuffPost Posted: 10 Dec 2019 02:54 PM PST  Beyoncé is one of the most fiercely private celebs, but in a new interview she gets real about something many women deal with: having not one, but multiple, miscarriages. In the January 2020 cover story for Elle magazine, the 38-year-old pop culture icon talks candidly about pregnancy losses she and husband Jay-Z experienced before the birth of their daughter Blue Ivy in 2012, and how it helped put her career in perspective. "I began to search for deeper meaning when life began to teach me lessons I didn't know I needed," the singer said in response to a fan's question about getting snubbed by the Grammys for her 2016 album "Lemonade." "Success looks different to me now." "I learned that all pain and loss is in fact a gift. Having miscarriages taught me that I had to mother myself before I could be a mother to someone else," she said. "Then I had Blue, and the quest for my purpose became so much deeper. I died and was reborn in my relationship, and the quest for self became even stronger. It's difficult for me to go backwards." Being "number one," Beyoncé added, "was no longer my priority. My true win is creating art and a legacy that will live far beyond me. That's fulfilling." "Lemonade" lost out on album of the year to Adele's "25" — something that surprised even Adele. ("My album of the year is 'Lemonade,'" the British singer told reporters backstage at the award show.) Earlier this year, Beyoncé's Netflix special "Homecoming," which documents her celebrated 2018 Coachella performance, was nominated for six Emmy Awards but won none. (Instead, James Corden's "Carpool Karaoke" nabbed the prize in one category.) Beyoncé and Jay-Z are parents to 2-year-old twins Rumi and Sir, and daughter Blue Ivy, who turns 8 next month. In years past, Jay-Z has also alluded to how the birth of his children has shaped him as a man. On his 2017 album "4:44," the 50-year-old rapper mentions the miscarriages and his alleged infidelities . "I still mourn this death, I apologize for all the stillborns / 'Cause I wasn't present, your body wouldn't accept it," he raps on the album's title track. And in an interview with David Letterman a year later, Jay-Z spoke about how the couple healed following the betrayal. "I have a beautiful wife who is understanding and knew that I'm not the worst of what I've done," he said. "We did the hard work of going to therapy, and really we love each other so, we really put in the work, and for years." Beyoncé also talked to Elle about the struggles of balancing work and life as a mom, businesswoman and musician. "I think the most stressful thing for me is balancing work and life. Making sure I am present for my kids—dropping Blue off at school, taking Rumi and Sir to their activities, making time for date nights with my husband, and being home in time to have dinner with my family—all while running a company can be challenging," she says. "Juggling all of those roles can be stressful, but I think that's life for any working mom." For more of the Elle interview, head here.  |
| The Decade Belonged to Beyoncé - POPSUGAR Posted: 17 Dec 2019 01:08 AM PST  There really aren't strong enough words to describe how momentous the past 10 years have been for Beyoncé. The 38-year-old singer began the decade on a high note by winning big at the 2010 Grammys after the 2008 release of I Am... Sasha Fierce and her I Am... World Tour in 2009. But, as we now know, she was just barely scratching the surface of her stardom. Since then, Bey has reached a level of incomparability that will probably (definitely) remain intact for the rest of eternity. From releasing earth-shattering albums, to taking a stand for social justice, to birthing all three of her children, the 2010s were undoubtedly shaped by Beyoncé. It was the era of Queen Bey's rise, which we got to witness. So strap in, Beyhive, because we're taking a look back on Yoncé's buzziest moments from the past decade.  |
