“Crazy In Love” Was the “Perfect Fit” for ‘50 Shades’ Trailer

Boots says Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" was the perfect fit for the 50 Shades Of Grey trailer.
The producer - who created the trailer's soundtrack (seen after the jump) - chose to rework the singer's hi-tempo anthem into a slower, more sultry tune and says it was the best choice for the S&M movie.
"It just fits. I like to think of myself as more than just a producer. I look at what we did for the trailer and this version of the song is, very much in my opinion, a score. It was something that I consciously scored. Whenever it comes to the stuff that Bey and I do, I'll never speak for her, but I think that she killed it. She just absolutely killed it. The acapellas that she did gives me chills, so it's really dope," he said.
Boots also believes Beyonce's song is the perfect accompaniment to the raunchy movie which tells the story of how virginal Anastasia Steele falls for bondage-loving billionaire Christian Grey: "I think falling in love can make you do crazy s**t. That was the spirit of the original song in the first place, we flipped it and it kind of became a whole thing. This is the first time I've ever worked on a trailer."

50 Cent Claims Beyoncé Almost Attacked Him
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Rivalries, Rumors,
50 Cent claims that Beyonce Knowles once confronted him for getting into an argument with Jay Z.
The "In Da Club" hitmaker was shocked when the "Drunk In Love" singer, nicknamed Sasha Fierce, "jumped off a ledge and came running over" to defend her husband at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas.
"One time [Beyonce] jumped off of a ledge and came running over cause she thought me and Jay had issues. And I'm like, 'What the f**k? Did she really just jump and run up on me like that?'" the 38-year-old rapper, real name Curtis Jackson, told The Breakfast Club on New York City radio station Power 105.1.
The 32-year-old beauty became very protective of Jay because she thought things were about to turn physical between him and the "Candy Shop" hitmaker, but they soon laughed off the dispute.

Miranda Lambert Dreams of Beyonce Duet
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Gossip, Country, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop,
Miranda Lambert wants to duet with Beyonce.
The country star's ideal team up would be with the "Single Ladies" star, as she's blown away by her vocal abilities. When asked about her dream duet, she replied, "Beyonce! I've seen her in concert five times."
However, for her new record, Platinum, the "Automatic" singer was very happy to sing with fellow country beauty Carrie Underwood on "Something Bad." She explained, "I sent her a rambling email asking her to do it. I figured she'd think I was crazy, but she wrote straight back saying she was in. I was so nervous the day she ended up coming to the studio. We ended up having a blast."
The 30-year-old singer also sings about putting on weight in the track "Gravity's A B****," but says she wrote the track to stay ahead of the game: "My fans expect me to lay it all out! I've always been happy with myself. But when I hit 30 I thought, it's not getting easier. So I chose to get ahead of it. There's still nothing I love more than a bag of Cheetos though."

Kelly Rowland has gotten married.
The former Destiny's Child singer and her manager Tim Witherspoon tied the knot in a secret ceremony in Costa Rica last Friday, it has been claimed. "It was a quick, simple ceremony - only around 30 people," a source told Us Weekly. Among the guests were Kelly's former bandmate Beyonce and her sister Solange.
Although the nuptials haven't been confirmed, Beyonce had posted a photograph to her Instagram account on the big day wearing what appeared to be a bridesmaids dressed but was captioned only, "'Good morning."
Speaking last December, 33-year-old Kelly admitted she and Tim had been engaged for some time: "He put a ring on it. It's been a while. We've kept it very, very low - for years, to be completely honest." Kelly also revealed her boyfriend of four years proposed on Skype while she was in Bulgaria. "He put a ring on it! He asked me first on Skype and I was like, 'We're so far away from each other.' But it was so late, I remember we were both just kinda like, honestly, just staring at each other ... and he asked me, and it was just that simple to say yes," she said.
Solange Knowles “Overreacted” to Jay Z’s Comment
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Meltdowns, Rumors,
Solange Knowles reportedly attacked Jay Z after she "overreacted" to something he said.
The 27-year-old singer "flipped out" at the rapper, 44, in an elevator at the Met Gala after-party in New York last week because she was offended by a comment he made. "Solange flipped out over something Jay had said, that she took the wrong way. She took it too hard or too far. Not sure what it was, but she greatly overreacted," a source said.
Solange was caught on surveillance kicking and clawing her brother-in-law as they left the bash held in the Boom Boom Room at The Standard Hotel in New York City, last Monday. Jay didn't appear to retaliate as the brunette beauty screamed in his face, but he did attempt to hold her hands down as their bodyguard struggled to hold her back.
Beyonce appeared to stay calm and collected throughout the scuffle and watched on helplessly as her sister violently attacked her husband.
