Beyonce becomes Sasha Fierce
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Upcoming Releases, Pop, R&B / Soul,
“I have someone else that takes over when it’s time for me to work and when I’m on stage, this alter ego that I’ve created that kind of protects me and who I really am,” explained Beyonce Knowles, singing superstar and movie maven.
Who is this alter ego, this doppelganger who looks like Beyonce but acts provocative? From now on, you can just call Mrs. Jay-Z Sasha Fierce. Her new album “I Am…Sasha Fierce” debuts November 18 and the ad campaign has already begun among a blitz of public relations ops and even a weird MySpace page.
“Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I’m working and when I’m on the stage,” Knowles explained…or should I just call her Sasha? View the Sasha Fierce MySpace page for your opportunity to win a personal message and gift bag worth $500.
Is all this just about her new album…or is Beyonce really undergoing a name change?

Check Out Beyonce’s Two New Music Videos
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music Videos, Pop, R&B / Soul,
While it’s customary for artists to debut one single at a time, Beyonce Knowles recently previewed two tracks from I Am…, her third solo album.
In a message posted on her website, the 26-year-old revealed that it took longer to create this “baby” than anything else she’s done in over 10 years. Then again, she did record over 70 songs for it.
“I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have taken the time so I can create my sound. Something that says who I am at this stage in my life. I have poured my heart and soul into it. It is my baby. It is the most time I have spent on any project since my first records as a member of Destiny’s Child when I was 15 years old. I have recorded over 70 songs and have created a sound that reveals all of me. I am in a different place right now and I wanted people to see the many sides of me. The music is upbeat for the dance, fun side and it is reflective, passionate and serious for the personal side. I have taken risks here. I am not afraid and my music will explain it all. There is no label or tag on my sound. It’s me and I am so excited to share it with the world on November 18.”

Quote of the Day: Beyonce on Rings
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music,
For the November issue of Essence magazine, singer Beyonce Knowles finally opens up about her April wedding to Jay-Z.
In the interview, Knowles explains why she was against a big traditional wedding (“It’s been my day so many days already”) and why she didn’t want an engagement ring:
“People put too much emphasis on that. It’s just material and it’s just silly to me.”
Uhhh….is this coming from the same person currently sporting a $5 million dollar ring?

Check Out Beyonce’s Massive Piece of Bling
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Weddings,
Sometimes pictures - or massive pieces of jewelry - really do speak louder than words.
Even though Beyonce and Jay-Z have not yet acknowledged their April nuptials, the Dreamgirls star has slowly been confirming the news her own way.
In the past few weeks, the singer has occasionally been seen with a very large rock on her ring finger. The flawless 18 carat gem - designed by Lorraine Schwartz - is valued at a whopping $5 million.
I guess someone won’t be needing to worry about the financial crisis anytime soon.

Randomly Commenting About: Miley Cyrus’ Cancer Event Performance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Specials, ABC, CBS, NBC, Editorial, Video,
Even though I really like the single (and loved the cause for which it was written), there was one musician who really stuck out during Friday night’s Stand Up 2 Cancer event: Miley Cyrus.
The song - which is available for purchase on iTunes - was performed live this weekend from New York’s Radio City Music Hall. And while “Just Stand Up” earned a nice reception, I couldn’t help but notice how Miley Cyrus’ immature voice stuck out like a grating sore thumb. Did she really deserve to be up on the same stage as Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey and Carrie Underwood? Ehh, I think not.
Beyonce and Jay-Z Now Married
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Weddings, Rumors,
Although no official announcement has been released, all signs indicate that Beyoncé Knowles, 26, and rapper Jay-Z, 38, are now indeed married.
After the two were spotted securing a marriage license earlier this week, it was just simply a matter of when. The couple’s decision to wed on Friday night (4/4) may have been a matter of the date’s significance. She was born on September 4th; he on December 4th.
According to online reports, the musicians apparently had a small private ceremony earlier in the evening before a much bigger bash that night. (Tents erected on the roof of Shawn Carter’s Tribeca apartment building indicated something was going to happen.) Several celebrities - including the girls from Destiny’s Child and Gwyneth Paltrow - were also seen in the area.
Well, until they come out and fully admit the news - I’m going to go ahead and congratulate them anyway. Cheers!

Beyonce and Jay-Z: Headed to the Altar?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Engagements, Rumors,
Could this simply be an April Fool’s joke…or is that what they’d like you to believe?
According to People, Beyonce and Jay-Z have finally taken the next step in their relationship: They’ve secured a marriage license. A source tells the magazine that the lovebirds - who have been together since 2002 - obtained the paperwork earlier today in Scarsdale, New York.
Assuming the rumors are true, that means we should probably expect to hear wedding bells for the musicians sometime very soon. The license hits its expiration date in 60 days.

MONDAY (2/4)
- Welcome to the Captain (CBS, 8:30): Series premiere. “A Hollywood wunderkind in a career slump is persuaded by his friend to move into his famous Tinseltown apartment building with an eclectic group of tenants.” Eclectic = show gone soon.
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (FOX, 9pm): “John discovers the figure may be bleaker than he imagined.” I’m confused. If he’s currently in 2007, he should have already seen what the future looks like in Rise of the Machines.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (CBS, 9:30): Season Three premiere. “Christine gets overly nervous about sleeping with Mr. Harris (Blair Underwood) for the first time.” I think I already saw this episode…..on Sex and the City.
- Late Night With David Letterman (CBS, 11:30): Hillary Clinton sits down with the talk show host. Any woman who can make us forget Paris Hilton deserves to be President.

The American Music Awards heaped honors this week awarding Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Linkin Park and Daughtry (led by American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry) with three nominations each. Idol winner Carrie Underwood nabbed two nominations, showing that FOX can, at least, find talent. Daughtry will also be a performer, along with Celine Dion, Fergie and Rihanna. Jimmy Kimmel is set to host the event, which will air on ABC November 18.
Nominees for the AMAs are initially chosen based upon record sales, but this year marks a first for the award show: members of the public will be able to vote for nominees online.

UPDATE: Rudolph Not Returning to SNL After All
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live,
Despite their earlier scoop, TV Guide is now doing an about face on their Maya Rudolph report. It turns out she won’t be renewing her Saturday Night Live contract as hoped. After seven seasons on the show, the actress—widely known for her impressions of Oprah, Beyonce and Donatella Versace—is apparently leaving for ‘family-based’ reasons.
This now leaves only two females behind in the current cast. While we love Kristin Wiig and Amy Poehler, we hope Lorne Michaels can bring them some new help asap. We’d hate to see these ladies burn out too soon.
