Beyonce Knowles: I Just Sacrificed Life
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Style,
Singer and actress Beyonce Knowles said she has sacrificed her entire life in becoming successful.
The “Single Ladies” singer said that the pressures of celebrity have taken everything away from her that would allow her to enjoy a normal lifestyle.
“I just sacrificed life. Being able to walk down the street and being able to make mistakes and not have it recorded for ever. Being able to have regular relationships and dates. Just regular, normal things that people probably don’t even think about. Sometimes it’s hard.”
Beyonce, 28, also said that during her career - which has so far spanned 14 years recording with Destiny’s Child and as a solo artist - she has hardly ever had any chance to take a break. She added, “I haven’t had longer than a couple of months off ever in my life, since I was 15. But I was raised that anything that’s worth anything takes a lot of sacrifice. And when anything is too easy for me I get scared.”

U2 to Make First Glastonbury Appearance
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rumors, Rock,
U2 are scheduled to headline the Glastonbury Festival next year.
The music event’s organizer Michael Eavis has signed up the Irish rockers - Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. - to perform for the first time at the world famous festival which celebrates its 40th anniversary next year.
“Everyone is over the moon that the deal has been done. Michael really wanted a huge name for the 40th anniversary and the fact U2 have never played Glastonbury in their 32-year career only adds to the mystique,” a source said.
The “Get On Your Boots” hitmakers - who will headline the festival on Friday June 25, in Somerset, England - have been in discussions with Michael, 74, for some time.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Collaborations, Gossip, Videos, Pop, R&B / Soul,
“When you have a song about a telephone, there’s this limitless ebb and flow of creativity to choose from.”
If you put two names like Beyonce and Lady Gaga together, you’ll naturally expect a visual - and musical - ride. But if you thought the clip for “Video Phone” was interesting, you haven’t seen anything yet.
In this behind-the-scenes featurette, we get a look at some of the proposed costume ideas (bubble wrap? Crate & Barrel box?) never included in the final shoot and learn about a third song Gayonce will work on together.

Beyonce Knowles: Bodysurfer?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Videos, R&B / Soul,
Beyonce Knowles definitely knows how to put herself out there.
At a London concert earlier this week, Beyonce surprised fans with a rock star move during her performance of “Halo.” (Cue the video to the :20 mark to see the singer dive into the crowd.) Not only does she entrust the attendees to carry her around, she manages to simultaneously carry a tune.
See, Britney? It is possible to sing live and entertain your audience at the same time.

First Look: Beyonce and Lady Gaga Star in Video Phone
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Collaborations, Music Videos, Pop, R&B / Soul,
It should go without saying that any music video involving Lady Gaga will probably be…unusual. But who expected this from Beyoncé?
The minute you see the Reservoir Dogs-style open, you know “Video Phone” will be a wild ride. (It is directed by Hype Williams after all.) Men with cameras as heads? Sasha Fierce armed with futuristic outfits, a Bettie page haircut…and guns? Gaga looking…normal?
I can only imagine what other projects these two ladies have collaborated on. Well, actually - I probably can’t.

Beyonce Knowles Less Sexy in Malaysia
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, R&B / Soul,
Beyonce Knowles has vowed to wear “appropriate” clothing for her controversial show in Malaysia.
The “Crazy in Love” singer’s scheduled concert in the country’s capital Kuala Lumpur on October 25 has been met with anger by Islamic extremists, who claim her sexy outfits and provocative stage routines are “immoral” and will corrupt young people.
But the 28-year-old star - who had to pull out of a concert in the country two years ago after the same group, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, threatened to protest at the show - has agreed to tone down her performance, meaning the concert can go ahead. Show organizers Marctensia said all parties had reached an “amicable understanding.”
“We are confident that the concert will once and for all silence international critics and put Malaysia back on track… in presenting A-list international pop concerts in this region,” a spokesperson for the entertainment company added.
In August 2007, Gwen Stefani was told to cover up for her Malaysian concert. The flamboyant star wore “sober” outfits but called it a “major sacrifice.” She put jackets over her tops and leotards underneath her skirts and dresses, to conform to the guidelines for the show.

UPDATE: You can read Kanye’s newest apology here.
How is it possible that a 19-year-old girl has more maturity than a 32-year-old man?
Even though she would have been forgiven for any choice words she could use have used, Taylor Swift decided not to go there last night. When questioned by reporters about Kanye West’s rude behavior at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, the country singer simply opted to take the high road.
“I was standing onstage and I was really excited because I had just won an award and then I was really excited because Kanye West was on the stage,” Swift told E! News. “And then, um, I wasn’t so excited anymore after that.”

UPDATE: You can read Taylor Swift’s response to West’s outburst here.
Hey Kanye—screw your apology letter. This is what “class” looks like.
Having witnessed Taylor Swift’s VMAs moment interrupted by one of her “fans,” Beyonce Knowles did what was right. While accepting her award for Video of the Year, the singer allowed the 19-year-old to pick up where she left off.
“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’d like Taylor to come out and have her moment,” Knowles said.
Cue another standing ovation…for both stars.

MTV VIDEO: Kanye West Disrespects Taylor Swift at VMAs

UPDATE: You can read Kanye West’s “apology” here.
Let’s just make this clear—this stunt was not orchestrated like Bruno’s moment with Eminem.
During tonight’s MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West stunned the audience—and an already stunned Taylor Swift—with a declaration that will be talked about for quite some time. While accepting an award for Best Female Video, the country singer was interrupted by the rapper who was upset about Beyonce’s loss in the category.
Although Kanye is known for acting like a child when he is not presented an award, he felt it was necessary to defend Ms. Knowles’ honor during Taylor’s moment on stage. (Based on the shocked expression on Beyonce’s face, she clearly didn’t want his help.) Unfortunately, that left the beautiful 19-year-old standing there with nothing left to say.
