Photos: Beyonce
Beyonce and Jay-Z are introducing their little girl Blue Ivy, 2, to some culture at The Louvre in Paris. The famous family frolicked through the museum (looks like a private tour) and documented the experience with photos of many famous works of art. Beyonce posted the pix on her website. Jay-Z looks like he’s lost a bit of weight and we love the statue who looks like he’s taking a selfie.
Frankly, we’ll be surprised if Beyonce and Jay Z split up any time soon. Their business and financial lives will be a nightmare to untangle and as a power couple, they have more clout that they would separately. But this couple is so secretive, we weren’t even sure they were married until weeks after the fact! Keeping that in mind, the New York Post says that Beyonce may be secretly shopping for a new apartment. In June she looked at a 21.5 million dollar penthouse in Chelsea, and she did it very quietly. Jay Z is usually in charge of real estate deals for the couple, and he was nowhere in sight. The source pointed out that it’s very improbable that this expensive penthouse would be for Beyonce’s sister or mother. Is Beyonce considering leaving Jay Z? Only time will tell…

The ONLY downside to the fabulous Jay-Z VS Solange Knowles elevator brawl is the fact that the person who sold the tape to TMZ (for $250,000?) got CAUGHT! We feel awful for this entrepreneurial hotel employee who recognized solid gold when he or she saw it. Without people like this hotel employee, the world would be a much duller place. How much FUN has this tape provided for the general public? And certainly none of the participants suffered career damage or anything else. (Jay-Z remained a gentleman through it all) The tape made the whole Jay-Z Beyonce household a whole lot MORE interesting. We can understand why the Standard Hotel felt obliged to fire the employee, but we hope they will come to their senses and NOT file a lawsuit against the errant employee.

The latest revelation that Kim Kardashian hopes to follow in Beyonce’s footsteps and appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue makes is abundantly clear that Kim is determined to reach Beyonce’s level of success. Along with Kanye, Kim already aspires to become a top celebrity power couple like Beyonce and Jay-Z. But Kim and Kanye’s ridiculously expensive over the top wedding plans are already turning people off (like jay-Z and Beyonce) and only the most desperate celebrities are expected to show up. Do you think Sports Illustrated will put Kim on the cover?
They’ve been buddies for years, but Jay-Z wants nothing to do with Kanye West’s over-the-top wedding to Kim Kardashian. Kanye asked Jay to be his best man, but his friend said he would only do it if he and Beyonce and their baby were NOT filmed. Since the E channel is paying for the wedding, they cannot make such a promise. Jay-Z and Beyonce have no desire to appear on the Kardashian reality show. Their OWN wedding was SO private that it was weeks before people even knew it happened! Kim will be disappointed if Beyonce doesn’t show up.

Beyonce is still a PERFECTIONIST and sometimes a stern taskmaster. She and Jay-Z have the honor of opening the Grammy show tonight with their nominated song Part II (On the Run) and she wants it to be flawless. During the final dress rehearsal of their song, Beyonce thought Jay’s performance just wasn’t up to par. According to a witness, she pushed him to do it over and over until he got it RIGHT. And he did!

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are quietly obsessed with knocking Jay-Z and Beyonce off their pedestal and usurping their title as #1 Power Couple in Show Business. Kanye convinced Kim to bleach her hair blonde because he felt it would increase her international appeal. Despite the fact that Kim gave birth to North with MUCH fanfare in 2013, Beyonce still topped her as Most Searched Celebrity in 2013. So Kim is scheming to do whatever is necessary to generate more buzz than Beyonce – even though she can’t sing. In fact, it’s rumored that Kim is constantly checking to see if Beyonce is getting more internet hits than she is!

Beyonce’s scalp must be extremely grateful. Her Mrs Carter tour ended a few days ago and her scalp gets a big workout when she’s on the road. Hot sweaty wigs and heavy extensions, not to mention bleaching and straightening, leaves her hair exhausted and damaged. How nice to see Beyonce free of weaves etc, and looking better than ever. (It’s time for a lot of celebrities to get rid of that ubiquitous long wavy fake hair) She was probably emboldened by Rihanna’s short cut – she lost none of her sex appeal. Beyonce posted photos of her new look on Instagram, hoping for a reaction and she got a good one.
Jay-Z’s album Magna Carta Holy Grail is headed to the top of the carts and has already gone platinum in spite of his own moderate reviews. To celebrate the fact that he’s still got “it,” Beyonce posted this graduation photo of Jay, now 43, back when he was Shawn Carter. It must be elementary school because Shawn dropped out of high school. But he still did rather well for himself.
It looks like there was never much doubt about Beyonce having star potential- the picture on the left shows the singer when she was just 13, in eighth grade at Welch Middle School. Already a knockout. And just a year later she straightened her hair for her freshman year at Houston School for the Performing and Visual Arts. Unfortunately, she dropped out of school soon after and never graduated because her career took off. (Unfortunately for her education, that is.)
