Beyoncé & Jay-Z Leave Hospital with Daughter

2012-01-10T16:49:00.000-05:00

Ecstatic new parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z have taken daughter Blue Ivy home from New York City's Lenox Hill Hospital, the medical center has confirmed.

The family left under cover of darkness at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, the New York Daily News reports.

Observers noted a procession of vehicles with blacked-out windows leaving from the hospital’s side gate, the newspaper reports. Two black SUVs helped facilitate the departure, with one blocking traffic so the other could move unobstructed.

The superstar couple's 7-lb daughter was born Saturday. They called the birth "emotional and extremely peaceful," adding, "we are in heaven."

"It was the best experience of both of our lives," Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who has already released a song devoted to his baby girl, added. "We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support."

Beyoncé and Jay-Z Make Baby News Official:

2012-01-09T17:05:00.006-05:00

The superstar couple has announced, officially, the birth of their baby girl.

In a joint statement, Jay-Z and Beyonce set the record straight about some of the details of Blue Ivy's birth, including that it wasn't a scheduled C-section (as had been reported) and the baby was born on Saturday (not Friday night):

Hello Hello Baby Blue!

We are happy to announce the arrival of our beautiful daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, born on Saturday, January 7, 2012.

Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven.

She was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs and it was the best experience of both of our lives.

We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support.

Beyoncé & JAY Z

'Glory' Jay-Z feat. B.I.C.

Additionally, New York's Lennox Hill Hospital, where little Baby Blue was born, followed suit with its own statement, addressing rumors that the couple paid a hefty sum to rent an entire floor and had security prevent other parents from seeing their own newborn children.

Lenox Hill Hospital and its staff were delighted to welcome the Carter family for the birth of their firstborn on Saturday evening, but we are troubled by the misinformation being circulated in some news media reports. The suggestion that the couple paid $1.3 million to rent an entire maternity floor is simply not true. The family is housed in an executive suite at the hospital and is being billed the standard rate for those accommodations. Our executive suites are available for any patient, including the food service and amenities provided to the Carter family.

The family does have its own security detail on site. However, the hospital has been and continues to be in control of managing all security at the facility. We have made every effort to ensure minimal disruption to other families experiencing the births of their own children over the past three days. No security plan that we or the Carters' security team put in place would have prevented or delayed families from gaining access to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and to date, no families have complained to the hospital about being denied access to the NICU.

Lenox Hill Hospital takes patient privacy and safety very seriously. And while we congratulate the Carter family on the birth of their child, we value the loyalty of ALL of our patients and always strive to ensure a positive experience, knowing that the birth of a child is a wonderful moment producing memories that last a lifetime.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z Welcome a Baby Girl: Blue Ivy Carter

2012-01-08T09:00:00.001-05:00

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are now Mom and Dad!

The singer, whose pregnancy was closely watched and the subject of various rumors, gave birth to a baby girl in New York on Saturday, according to her hometown paper, the Houston Chronicle. Mom and baby are doing fine, the paper reports.

Sources tell E! News the little girl's name is Blue Ivy Carter.

"Welcome to the world princess Carter!" singer and pal of the couple Rihanna Tweeted Saturday night. "Love Aunty Rih."

Russell Simmons also acknowledged the new parents on Twitter: "congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z," he said.

Beyoncé, 30, checked into Lenox Hill Hospital on New York's Upper East Side on Friday, more than a month before her previously stated due date in February.

On Thursday, the singer was photographed out in the city covering her baby bump with a black blazer and a flowing scarf. le

Despite buzz that the singer had given birth to a baby girl over New Year's weekend, Jay-Z and an "enormously pregnant" Beyoncé were spotted enjoying a dinner on Dec. 31 at Buttermilk Channel in Brooklyn, N.Y.

The first-time mom announced she was expecting at the MTV Video Music Awards in August.

Reps for the couple did not respond to requests for comment.

Beyoncé 'Enormously Pregnant in Sky-High Heels,' Says Source

2012-01-02T17:58:00.002-05:00

Despite the loud buzz that Beyoncé gave birth over the holiday weekend, the countdown to the arrival of baby Bey is still on.

On New Year's Eve, the singer, 30, ate for two at Buttermilk Channel in Brooklyn, where she and husband Jay-Z feasted on fried chicken and oysters.

"She was definitely a pregnant lady that night," said an onlooker. "They sat side by side and had a cozy and intimate dinner. They seemed to be having a lovely time."

And although the soon-to-be mom is due soon, an uncomfortable baby bump is not getting in the way of her sense of style.   

"She looked amazing. She wore sky-high heels. It was really impressive for an enormously pregnant woman," adds the source. "She looked like she was about to give birth."

The couple greeted excited fans on their way out of the restaurant, presumably before heading to a New Year's shindig at Beyoncé's sister Solange's apartment.

And pregnant Beyoncé in heels got huge props from her sibling. Tweeted Solange: "Shout out to my sister for being THE cutest pregnant woman ever!"

Beyoncé Baby Rumors Bombard the Internet

2011-12-30T14:27:00.001-05:00

Maybe baby can wait, but the Internet sure can't.

Blogs and Twitter are in a fever pitch with rumors, gossip, tips, inferences and even bad Photoshopping all about one thing: whether Beyoncé" and husband Jay-Z have welcomed their baby girl.

No matter that the couple and their reps have maintained total silence and that no credible reports exist. The Beyoncé Baby Watch has become a cyber-event unto itself.

It all started with the Twitter explosion when the singer announced her pregnancy at the MTV Video Music Awards last summer, setting a world record of 8,868 Tweets per second (TPS).

After a surreal moment when conspiracy theorists were convinced the baby news was an elaborate hoax involving a prosthetic belly – all, of course, denied by Beyoncé – the Web picked up steam as the due date neared.

In recent days, blogs and Twitter pages seemed certain that Beyoncé not only checked into a New York hospital, but that she actually gave birth.

The Internet has even named the couple's first-born, Tiana-May Carter, after Disney's first black princess, Tiana, in The Princess and the Frog.

And in one of the more unsettling posts, somebody shared what was purported to be a baby photo. We certainly hope not. This would be one ugly kid.

Beyonce to Debut One More '4' Video Before DVD Deluxe Release

2011-11-08T14:33:00.002-05:00

Yesterday (Nov. 7), Sony Music hosted two screenings (10 am and 12 am) for Beyoncé's "Live At Roseland" DVD at Sony's NYC offices.

Beyoncé's publicist shared a few words before cueing play, saying the DVD was a "labor of love" as it was directed, edited and produced by Bey', herself. Ed Burke and Anthony Green also had a hand in directing and Bey' took reigns as executive producer in association with Parkwood Entertainment and Colombia Records.

"Live At Roseland," due Nov. 21 exclusively at Walmart, will give fans an "up close and personal" look at Beyoncé. The 26-song live DVD documents Bey's four nights at the Roseland Ballroom in August, "4 Intimate Nights with Beyoncé." The DVD includes the complete Roseland concert series and never before seen personal footage from Bey'. Queen B shares footage of her times with Destiny's Child, traveling and partying with family, the much talked about American Idol "1+1" rehearsal clip, shot by husband Jay-Z, other performances and even a sneak peak at Beyoncé's wedding dress.

On Nov. 29, Parkwood Entertainment/Columbia Records plan to release a deluxe version of DVD titled, "Live At Roseland: The Elements of 4," which is a two-disc DVD that will include complete concert footage, bonus offstage footage, a 20-page booklet and a video anthology that includes seven videos from her Billboard 200 No.1 album, "4."

As of now, Beyoncé has debuted six videos from "4"-- three in the month of Oct., ten days apart ("Countdown'" (Oct. 6), "Love on Top" (Oct. 16) and "Party" (Oct. 26), which means we should be expecting one more video from "4" before the deluxe version release date, Nov. 27. A source tells Billboard that the seventh video, also said to not be "End of Time," will debut on Nov. 27th, two days before the deluxe release date.

Praised as “robust,” “finely-tuned,” and “compelling” by The New York Times, “4 Intimate Nights With Beyoncé” at Roseland Ballroom, was a tour de force for the entertainer.

Beyoncé, Tina Knowles Start London Fashion Week with a Bang

2011-09-19T18:26:00.001-04:00

Beyoncé and mom Tina Knowles made their hotly anticipated London Fashion Week debut on Saturday night, presenting their House of Deréon autumn/winter 2011 collection inside a decorated car park at London’s Selfridges department store.

“It’s been such a great journey,” the expectant star told reporters in the clip below. ”We’ve been working so hard on this. It is a dream come true.”

Inspired by Beyoncé’s extensive travels, the “Global Nomad”-themed collection was an exotic and glamorous clash of cultures. From tribal Aztec-print dresses with feather headpieces to a flamenco frilled dress, the looks were set off with warrior-style gold face paint and embellished turbans.

Models strutted to the singer’s recent single, “Run the World (Girls),” and front row guests including Rosario Dawson and British singer Ellie Goulding applauded the mother-daughter designing duo, who walked the runway hand-in-hand at the end of the show.

Tina, who launched Deréon in 2004, told Selfridges that the line was inspired in part by her daughter’s style. “Beyoncé gets to travel all around the world and bring back beautiful fashions and trends,” she said. “And she tells us what’s going on, what’s new, and what’s just around the corner. We depend on her a lot — we raid her closet!”

Beyoncé added that she was excited to introduce her line to the U.K. (it’s available now exclusively at Selfridges) because “the women here are so stylish and beautiful. They’re a little more experimental [with fashion].”

But according to the singer, who admitted to coveting Kate Moss‘s sense of style, anyone can work the clothes in her mother’s line. “[She's a] trendsetter,” she said of the Deréon girl. “Someone who is very sexy and confident and bold, and wants to make a statement.”

After the runway show, Beyoncé hightailed it to Under the Bridge, a music venue underneath the Stamford Bridge football stadium in London’s posh Chelsea neighborhood. She settled into the V.I.P. area with Tina, as deejay duo the Nightcrashers spun some of her hits until 2 a.m. (the singer left around midnight).

While the fashion crowd enjoyed endless canapés and Laurent-Perrier rose champagne, Beyoncé stuck to water, giggling with friends and dancing in her seat whenever a Michael Jackson tune played. But she was cordial as always, waving to her fans on the dance floor. Hear more from the designers in the clip below.

Beyoncé & Jay-Z Expecting a Baby

2011-08-28T22:45:00.004-04:00

Leave it to Beyoncé to steal the spotlight at Sunday's Video Music Awards.

But it wasn't one of the pop diva's signature show-stopping performances that had people talking. Instead, it was Beyoncé's burgeoning belly bump, swathed in an orange gown.

Beyoncé, 29, posed for photos with her hands cradling her belly, teasing, "I have a surprise!"

"I'm happy to say it's true," her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

This will be the first child for Beyoncé and her husband of three years, 41-year-old Jay-Z, who performed "Otis" at the VMAs with Kanye West.

Just in June, Knowles, who turns 30 on Sept. 4, and told Piers Morgan, "I always said I would have a baby at 30."

Looks like the talented singer is true to her word!

Beyoncé’s Pulse Fragrance Ad

2011-06-16T16:49:00.001-04:00

Is your heart racing yet? Beyoncé‘s latest fragrance, Pulse, hits stores in September, and the sexy, just-released ad already has our pulses beating faster. The seductive scent — a follow-up to the singer’s perfumes Heat and Heat Rush — features notes of pear blossom, peony, midnight blooming jasmine, Madagascar vanilla and for the first time in a fragrance, bluebird orchid. “Pulse is a fragrance you can wear all the time,” Beyoncé tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I love the idea of a signature scent that lets a woman leave her mark wherever she goes, so I always try to make my scents appropriate for any occasion.” The fragrance comes in an upside-down chrome-and-blue bottle, neatly tucked into a holographic carton. The bottle’s topper, a chrome cap, was inspired by her stage costumes. “I love [that] because it incorporates fashion into the overall design,” Beyoncé said in a statement. The print ad was photographed by Lionel Gasperini, and the TV commercial was shot by Jake Nava, who directed the singer’s “Single Ladies” video and her oh-so-sexy Heat commercial. Edited by Beyoncé, it’s set to the first single from her new album.

Beyonce '4' Album Preview - EXCLUSIVE

2011-05-12T09:47:00.000-04:00

Beyonce held a preview listening party for her upcoming album, 4, at the NYC offices of Sony Music on Wednesday afternoon (May 11).

About a dozen of her super fans watched the “Run The World (Girls)” video in a conference room before the 29-year-old global superstar came in and surprised everyone, shaking hands and hugging every single person in the room. (One of her fansites BeyonceWorld even flew in from Australia!)

“When editing the DVD [for Beyonce: I Am... World Tour], I noticed that the tone of my voice is different live [than my recording one],” Beyonce told JustJared.com. “So I used that live performance tone throughout the record.”

B then sat down, grabbed a bottle of Pellegrino sparkling water, and played five new tracks for the room.

“I wanted to do something refreshing and different,” Beyonce told JustJared.com. “So I mixed genres and drew inspiration from touring, traveling, watching rock bands, and attending festivals… I was like a mad scientist, putting lots of different songs together.”

Click inside for JustJared.com’s preview of “4″…

Beyonce ‘4′ Album Preview - JustJared.com Exclusive

SONG #1 ———- Part of the song, tentatively titled “Till The End of Time,” has already leaked on YouTube. “The bass line was inspired by [Nigerian musician and composer] Fela Kuti,” Beyonce shared with JustJared.com. “It’s my nephew Julez’s favorite song.” (JJ Tidbit: Jay-Z produced the Broadway musical Fela! about the late Nigerian singer.)

Here are some sample lyrics: “I wanna love you so (hit me)/ I will be the one to kiss you at night… Come on take my hand/ I won’t let you go/ I’ll be your friend/ I will love you so… Turn your rain into sun… Say you’ll never let me go.”

SONG #2 ———- This mid-tempo song has lots of drums much like “Run The World.” “Babyface wrote the song,” Beyonce told JustJared.com. The track is about karma and revenge and kicks off with, “What goes around comes back around.” Some key phrases from the song include, “Best thing I’ve ever had” and “Best thing you’ve never had.” The best line in the song goes, “You showed your ass, baby I saw the real you.” The song closes with, “Sucks to be you right now.”

SONG #3 ———- This ballad is moody and dark. It’s a song that will really sit with you, rather than be an instant smash hit. One fan asked Beyonce if she was crying at the beginning of the song because it sounded like she was. “Almost,” she responded. “I was on the verge.”

Jeff Bhasker penned this song, Beyonce confirmed. “It’s one of my favorite songs [off of the album],” she said.

Some sample lyrics: “I told you how you hurt me/ I’m crying and deserted but you don’t care/ Nobody told me this is love/ You’re immune to all my pain/ This is love but that’s okay… But I care/ I know you don’t care too much/ But I still care.”

SONG #4 ———- This track starts off the lyrics “killing me softly” and samples Boyz II Men’s “Uhh Ahh.” Beyonce uses the countdown and sings between each decremental number, “10, 9, 8…”

“Boyz II Men were the first ones to put Destiny’s Child on tour,” Beyonce told JustJared.com. “They showed us how to treat an opening act and I will never forget that. That was 15 years ago! Wow, 15 years! (laughs) I’m old.”

Some sample lyrics: “Dedicated to the one I love… diamonds in that chain… Riding that pony.. showing him how you ride… If you leave me, you’re out of your mind. London, speed it up. Houston, rock it.”

What did Jay-Z think of this song? “He liked it,” Beyonce told JustJared.com. “I don’t think he was dissecting it, just thinking of what he could do to it as a rapper.”

SONG #5 ———- Beyonce had the lights turned down for this beautiful ballad. Here’s how the song starts: “If I ain’t got nothing, I got you/ If I ain’t got something, I don’t give a damn/Because I got…”

“I don’t know much about algebra but one plus one is two,” she croons. “He ain’t got nothing but love. Darling, you got enough for the both of us. Make love when my days look low, pull me in close.”

“RUN THE WORLD (GIRLS)” VIDEO ———- It’s everything we hoped it would be - amazing! (Watch the 60-second “Run The World” teaser.)

The video starts and ends with Beyonce riding her horse, except there’s fire involved in the closing scene. A lion walks into one of the dance numbers and Beyonce has two giant hyenas on leashes in another scene.

The room went crazy during two parts of the song. The first was when Beyonce sings “eff you” and gives the middle finger (albeit pixelated with a censor). The second was when Beyonce is on her knees, bent backwards, and writhing around in the sand. It’s reminiscent of the sand dance sequence in her “Baby Boy” video

The dance sequences were choreographed by her longtime friend Frank Gatson with help from Sheryl Murakami and Mozambican kwaito dance group Tofo Tofo. Beyonce had scoured the Internet and discovered Tofo Tofo on YouTube. The funny thing is they had no idea who Beyonce was when she reached out to them! (Tofo Tofo gets down with Beyonce in a few of the dance numbers.)

————————–

Beyonce had walked into the room after her fans watched the “Run the World” video, so after the album preview, she had the video played again. “I’ve never watched it with a group of people before, so I’m excited,” she said. So the fans got to see the video not once, but twice!

After the album preview and video screening, Beyonce thanked everyone in the room for coming and said she had to go rehearse for her next “thing.” She has so many “things” coming up, we’re all so excited!

Beyonce Announces New Album Title

2011-05-11T14:52:00.003-04:00

Beyonce’s “Run The World (Girls)” video has yet to arrive (despite a slew of teases), but the fit-as-a-fiddle diva decided to go ahead and announce her upcoming fourth solo album’s title via a Billboard cover story anyway. Naturally she had plenty of other things to say, too. And naturally we felt obligated to round up her classiest quotes from the piece. Read on!

7 CLASSY QUOTES FROM BEYONCE’S BILLBOARD COVER STORY

* On naming her fourth solo album 4: “We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me. It’s the day I was born. My mother’s birthday, and a lot of my friends’ birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is my wedding date.”

* On initially recording over 60 songs for 4: “I started off being inspired by [Afrobeat music pioneer] Fela Kuti. I actually worked with the band from “Fela!” [the hit Broadway musical based on his life] for a couple of days, just to get the feel for the soul and heart of his music; it’s so sexy, and has a great groove you get lost in. I loved his drums, all the horns, how everything was on the one. What I learned most from Fela was artistic freedom: he just felt the spirit. I also found a lot of inspiration in ’90s R&B, Earth, Wind & Fire, DeBarge, Lionel Richie, Teena Marie… I listened to a lot of Jackson 5 and New Edition, but also Adele, Florence + the Machine, and Prince.”

* “At this point, I really know who I am, and don’t feel like I have to put myself in a box. I’m not afraid of taking risks – no one can define me.”

* On ditching her father as manager: “It’s not that anything bad happened between us. My family has my support always, and they support me, but when you’ve been working with the same people for 15 years, it’s natural to eventually have your own ideas… We were at a point where we’d learned so much from each other, and now it’s exciting for me to do this on my own and hire my own team. I’ve started managing myself.”

* “I’m approaching 30, and finally took a break in my life, which I’ve never had. I took more than a year off: I traveled around, spent time with my husband, woke up in my own bed, ate whatever I wanted, went to museums and Broadway plays, watched documentaries, and just had life experiences.”

* “I never get to go to concerts because I’m usually performing, so I saw so many shows – great bands, like Muse and Rage Against the Machine, that also inspired the album.”

* On taking part in the upcoming Clint Eastwood-directed remake of A Star Is Born: “It’s a dream come true; I’m still in shock that it’s really going to happen. Clint Eastwood is clearly the absolute best, and I’m so honored and humbled. I was in no rush to do another movie unless it was the right film, and I didn’t even want to touch A Star is Born unless it was with him.”

So there we have it — all-grown-up Beyonce is taking the reigns of her own destiny (ahem!), has quite the eclectic music taste and is all about the uno, dos, tres, cuatro! Although, stating all this could be construed as trying to define her. Er, sorry ’bout that, Bey.

Beyonce's New Video MOVE YOUR BODY

2011-04-27T10:08:00.002-04:00

Beyonce is work-ing it in a new music video she's shot for the FLOTUS' "Let's Move!" campaign. The vid, called "Move Your Body" and set to the tune of B's "Get Me Bodied," features the pop star and a group of dance-savvy kids working out dance-cardio style in a school cafeteria. Beyonce takes viewers through a series

of dance-cardio moves (like high knees, the Dougie and jumping rope) in a vid that passes as a PG-13 version of her work as a dancer and recording artist.

The video will go out to schools on May 3, when the White House has a "dance-in" planned at middle schools across the country. The video's YouTube page, however, let's kids get a head start with a step-by-step instructional on how to do Beyonce's "Move Your Body" dance.

Beyonce Knowles' Glammed Up Jersey Photo Shoot

2011-04-01T16:18:00.005-04:00

Not letting the rainy weather get in her way, Beyonce Knowles got down to work during her New Jersey photo shoot on Thursday afternoon (March 31)

Joined by a handful of fellow models, the "If I were a Boy" singer was nearly unrecognizable with her super-blond do, blue eye shadow, plum lips, and seriously 70s garb.

Aside from her Jersey photo shoot efforts, the 29-year-old superstar has chosen Dave Taylor, also known by his DJ name Switch, as one of the top producers on her new record.

Switch has worked on a number of tunes for the Glastonbury headliner, who says she wants to re-invent herself with her fourth album.

Beyonce Splits with Manager... Her Father!

2011-03-29T13:26:00.000-04:00

Singer Beyonce Knowles has called it quits with her long-time manager and father, Mathew Knowles, according to RadarOnline.

Mathew helped start his daughter's career as a teen in the all-girl superstar group, Destiny's Child, and oversaw her rise to international celebrity as a solo artist known simply as Beyonce. He even managed her successful movie and fashion careers.

Beyonce released a statement but did not give a reason for the split. "I've only parted ways with my father on a business level. He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly. I am grateful for everything he has taught me."

Mathew also released his own statement: "We did great things together, and I know that she will continue to conquer new territories in music and entertainment. Business is business and family is family. I love my daughter and am very proud of who she is and all that she has achieved. I look forward to her continued great success."

No word yet if Beyonce's superstar businessman husband, Jay-Z, will take over the reins of her career

Beyoncé Launches Her First Fragrance: Heat

2009-12-18T19:14:00.004-05:00

Beyoncé’s first fragrance, Beyoncé Heat, doesn’t arrive in stores until February, but the singer says her fans already love it — and she loves it, too! “I’m so happy with it,” the singer tells WWD. “I’ve been working on it for a while now. I was on tour for a year, and I have meet-and-greets with fans. I’ve never in my life gotten so many compliments. Coty has their own testing, but that was my testing! The fans loved it. They were like, ‘I love that, I’m getting that, why isn’t it out right now? I need it!” The singer took inspiration for the fragrance’s name from previous tours, explaining, “A lot of my performances have had fire involved, so we thought ‘Heat.’ Also, red is one of my favorite colors, as is gold.” The singer looked to the past for the bottle’s design. “I wanted something with an antique yet modern feeling,” she said. “Even with my wardrobe, I always try to find things that have a little bit of something vintage, yet still timeless and classic.” Beyoncé, who has been the face of Tommy Hilfiger’s True Star and Giorgio Armani’s Emporio Diamonds fragrances, said it was the first time she started from scratch on a project. “Everything, from the bottle design to the name and the ideas for the commercials–that’s me. When I commit to something, I do it 100 percent,” she said. Beyoncé Heat, with top notes of red vanilla orchid, magnolia, neroli and blush peach, will include eaux de parfum in three sizes, as well as a sparkling body lotion, priced between $39-$59. Look for it in department and specialty stores, like Macy’s. Read more about Beyoncé at WWD.com. Tell us: Will you buy Beyoncé’s first scent? –Kristin Larson

Beyonce To Team w/ Lady Gaga for "Video Phone"

2009-10-14T18:19:00.002-04:00

It has just been confirmed that Beyonce and Lady Gaga will join forces for Beyonce’s video for her song “Video Phone.”

Seems like since Lady Gaga won’t be touring with Kanye West this year she will settle for the next best thing, which is an appearance in Beyonce’s video.

The combination of these two powerhouses will serve to benefit them both. Beyonce is currently R&B’s top artist and Lady Gaga has the genre of Pop tucked securely under her wings. An appearance in Beyonce’s video will also serve to help in the promotion of Gaga’s solo tour.

According to Life & Style, Beyonce and Lady Gaga were working on a video at a studio in NYC on October 7th; the video was reportedly for Beyonce’s song “Video Phone.”

An insider revealed that the two songstresses’ will show off their unique styles in the video with Beyonce wearing a feathered dress and Lady Gaga adorning something wild and crazy.

Beyonce is also set to release two DVD’s in November. One is I Am… Yours (released November 24th), the hotly anticipated taping of her live tour, as well as a 2-disc documentary, titled Beyond the Ballad. Lady Gaga, who is preparing to headline a new U.S. tour this fall, is also rereleasing her debut album, The Fame Monster, which will also hit stores on the 24th of November.

Details on when Beyonce’s video for “Video Phone” will air have not yet been announced.

Beyoncé Coming to Wii?

2009-10-09T15:20:00.000-04:00

Beyoncé is looking to bring her dance and choreography to Nintendo's Wii Motion platform as a new dance fitness game. When addressing the topic Beyoncé said the following:

I'd like to get involved in video games, since I really love Wii Fit. I think it would be a great idea to incorporate choreography, because, for me, my workout is way more fun when it involves dancing, as opposed to running on a boring treadmill. So I would love to do some kind of fitness game but incorporate dance and performance into it.

Beyoncé Speaks On Michael Jackson

2009-06-26T09:02:00.000-04:00

Beyoncé called Jackson's death a "tragic loss" on a "terrible day."

"The incomparable Michael Jackson has made a bigger impact on music than any other artist in the history of music," the 27-year-old singer said. "He was magic. He was what we all strive to be. He will always be the King of Pop!

"Life is not about how many breaths you take, but about how many moments in life that take your breath away. For anyone who has ever seen, felt, or heard his art, we are all honored to have been alive in this generation to experience the magic of Michael Jackson. I love you Michael."

Michael Jackson passed away on Thursday, June 25 reportedly due to cardiac arrest. He was 50 and is survived by three children; Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Beyoncé is releasing a new remix album and DVD collection on June 16 called Above and Beyoncé Video Collection and Dance Mixes.

Among the tracks included on the collection is a remix of her song "Ego" featuring a guest appearance by Kanye West. "The song is fun," says Beyoncé. "It talks about someone being very confident and having this swagger when they walk and when they talk."

As for nabbing West, well, Beyoncé says the rapper – known for his outsized personality – was a good match. Recounting her conversation with West, Beyoncé says he agreed to do it, telling her, " 'Okay, so you have a song about an ego and you want me on the record?' He's like, 'I love it. I'll do it.' "

Above and Beyoncé will be available at Wal-Mart everywhere and J&R Music stores in New York City beginning June 16.

Beyoncé Brings Star Power to Preschoolers
This marks Beyoncé's first children's project ever, and she couldn't be more thrilled to appear on Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!

"I'm so happy because I'm finally able to impress my nephew," says Knowles. "It doesn't matter who I meet—even President Obama! He's not Wubbzy to my nephew, so this is like the coolest thing in the world to him."

On playing Shine, Knowles adds, "Shine is in a girl's group, and obviously I could identify with that growing up in Destiny's Child. The Wubb Girlz are all about unity; they have cool harmonies, and we got to sing an amazing song, 'Sing A Song'."

The Wubb Girlz Promote Positive Lessons for Little Ones
Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! has always focused on modeling positive social and emotional skills for preschoolers, and these new Wubb Girlz adventures continue to drive home the importance of being yourself and relying on your friends. Beyoncé was pleased to help deliver this message.

"Being yourself is the most important message for children because we're all different and once you get a little bit older, you realize that those things that are different about you are what make you so amazing. It’s what makes you so interesting."

Shine Can Spark a Love of Music
Beyoncé also hopes that The Wubb Girlz can spark a conversation in families about the importance of music. Getting your child involved in music can increase their self-esteem and promote communication and creativity. By incorporating simple music activities into your family life, you can help nurture your children's natural musical talents and promote music appreciation.

Watch On-Air, Then Play Online

Vogue Article

Catching up with Beyoncé before her world tour (in between gigs at the Inauguration and the Oscars), Jonathan Van Meter discovers why the superstar never slows down—she's unstoppable.

Photographed by Mario Testino.

February has barely begun, and Beyoncé is already having the biggest year of her life. Just a couple of weeks after her historic, indelible star turn at the presidential Inauguration, she has found herself, yet again, at the center of another worldwide television event with an unfathomably huge audience: the Oscars. Although she is in the midst of a grueling schedule of her own—preparing for a world tour that kicks off this month—she has somehow found time to rehearse for what might be the most challenging performance of her career: a high-wire act that essentially packs the history of the movie musical into five minutes of showstopping song and dance. Opposite Hugh Jackman (gulp). Live.

The weekend before the telecast, Hollywood's ultimate showman, Baz Luhrmann, who is directing this big, pizzazzy number, calls me in between rehearsals. "At some point," he says, "as Hugh was inventing his own little musical out of many famous musicals, he realized he needed a leading lady. The question became: Who could that be? Who can sing and dance and act? It's a fairly rare combination." Enter Beyoncé.

"There are many people who have powerful voices," says Luhrmann, "and then there are rare stars—whether it's a Streisand or a Louis Armstrong or a Maria Callas—whose voice is recognizable no matter what the material. That's what makes a great musical star: They put their imprint on anything they're given. Beyoncé absolutely has that." He pauses for a moment, and then for good measure adds one last piece of high-flying praise: "And as a dancer, there's not a step you can give her that she can't pick up."

If her director is suitably impressed, her costar is positively giddy. "Just watching how she processes everything, she's so fast," says Jackman. "She'd never heard the song 'Top Hat,' and she just listened to it once, and she was sort of humming along with it, and then she heard it another time, and then she just sang it like it had never been sung before, in a way that was so sultry and soulful and sexy and engaging. You thought to yourself, This is the best version of this song I've ever heard. I just found myself going, 'Oh, my God, I want to do movies with this girl. I want do a movie musical!' "

When Beyoncé finally appeared out of the darkness at the top of the stairs on Oscar night—every inch the showgirl in red sequins and top hat—she looked fabulous and sounded even better. The whole number was classic Baz Luhrmann: pastiche stirred into happy chaos. But it did make me long to hear Beyoncé sing whole versions of some of those songs, from "Over the Rainbow" to "You're the One That I Want."

Could there be a full-length Luhrmann-directed Knowles-Jackman movie musical in the future? "One can only pray," says Luhrmann. "My mind is racing already."

For now, however, Beyoncé has more pressing concerns. It's one of those spooky-dark early-February nights, and she's been holed up for hours in a vast, musty, windowless studio space on Manhattan's far West Side. Sitting on a barstool facing her ten-piece all-female band, she is wearing her rehearsal uniform: a skintight black bodysuit with a long, clingy, cream-colored knit T-shirt and what she calls "mega-pumps"—black YSL platform stilettos. Her long hair is pulled back off her face with a pair of sunglasses, and her shiny silver-metallic manicure makes it seem as if she has ten tiny mirrors glued to the ends of her fingers.

She and her band—all the single ladies, indeed—are just one week into rehearsing for the tour, which kicks off this month in Edmonton, Canada, but they sound surprisingly tight already. They are still in what Beyoncé refers to as the "play" phase. At one point, the pianist begins the quiet, pretty Sarah McLachlan ballad "Angel," and Beyoncé sings the song exactly as it was originally recorded—a kind of vocal drag that she is very good at. Suddenly, the keyboard player starts banging out her part as if she were in a black church in the deep South. Beyoncé starts belting to the heavens, testifying from her barstool. Before long the whole band falls out laughing—wooo, child!

It has been a very long day—though the end is not even close for Beyoncé, who is now flopped down next to me on a black leather sofa. "My mind is on overload," she says, and that is about as big a complaint as you will ever hear out of a girl who defines the word trouper. She got up at the crack of dawn in the Tribeca loft she shares with Jay-Z (whom she finally married last April after a six-year courtship), ate a tiny portion of Honey Nut Cheerios, ran six miles, and then worked out with her trainer, who had her in every imaginable kind of squat to get her ready to fit into her no doubt skintight Thierry Mugler-designed tour costumes. Then she went to a dance rehearsal for a couple of hours before showing up here. Now she will sit for a meeting with her management, scarf down several bites of a salad with jalapeños and avocado ("so that it tastes like something that's bad for you"), do this interview, and then rejoin the dance rehearsal until late into the night. "And then I have to go home and be a wife!" she says, laughing.

It is just two weeks since Beyoncé sang the Etta James classic "At Last" to Barack Obama and his wife on the evening of January 20, as they danced for the first time as president and First Lady and gave the entire nation a collective lump in its throat. There was something about the look on Beyoncé's face, the way she herself seemed as if she might start to cry as her voice—suddenly so adult, so elegant—glided effortlessly through the standard, that made everyone grow quiet. Her composure brought to the surface the reality of what had happened: We had elected a black man to be president of the United States. By the time the song was over, Beyoncé had become not just part of a historical moment but the perfect symbol of it.

Watching her that night reminded me of something she said three years ago, when I interviewed her for the release of Dreamgirls. I asked her if she had ever experienced any of the racism in the music business that is depicted in that film, and she said, "In some ways but only slightly. My father had to fight those battles. I didn't. And now I'm large enough—I'm universal—that no one's paying attention to what race I am. I've kind of proven myself. I'm past that." I remember feeling a real charge when she said it; I was both sure that it was true for her and shocked that a 24-year-old black girl from Houston had the nerve to say such a thing. But on the night of the Inauguration it became patently obvious that what she said three years earlier had finally become true for all of us, not just for her.

Beyonce Knowles covers the April 2009 issue of Vogue magazine. This issue also happens to be the publication’s shape issue, and features a photo spread of Bee shot by photographer Mario Testino.

Beyonce is currently at work gearing up for her upcoming year-long tour featuring costumes by Thierry Mugler. Knowles next two videos to be released soon are for the singles “Ego” and “Broken-Hearted Girl”.

Beyonce talks world tour, new videos

2009-03-11T15:36:00.002-04:00

As if 2009 hasn't already been jam-packed for Beyonce Knowles, the singer-actress is currently preparing a year-long world tour with dates in Canada set to launch later this month. "I've been working on this tour for eight months," Beyonce told EW when we caught up with her on the set of a TV ad she was taping. "It's crunch time! I've been rehearsing and trying to make sure I put my set list together. Right now I'm anxious and I can't sleep -- I'll be wanting to be at rehearsal. That's the only thing I can think about. But I can't wait." While details are still being worked out, she has dates tentatively penciled in for the U.K., Ethiopia, Japan, Brazil, and more, plus a run through the U.S. this summer. She'll be backed once more at each show by the all-female band from 2007's The Beyonce Experience tour.

Beyonce has also finished two new music videos to keep fans happy while she's crisscrossing the globe: "Broken-Hearted Girl," from the ballad-heavy I Am... half of her recent double album, and ...Sasha Fierce's up-tempo "Ego." Beyonce co-directed the latter clip with her choreographer. "My goal for [the 'Ego' video] is simplicity," she says. "In 'Single Ladies,' I saw this old tape of Bob Fosse's wife, and I used that as inspiration. I thought in this world, with all the technology and everything that's going on, to strip everything down -- great idea. So I kind of did the same thing, but glossy and black, for 'Ego.'"

One thing that the video for "Ego" won't share with "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" is a certain animatronic appendage. "I didn't have the Sasha Fierce hand [in the video]," she laughs. "But I have it on the tour. It's actually even more wild -- I have to figure out how I'm going to perform with that hand!"'

Beyonce Q&A - Additional Questions from AOL Sessions

2008-12-16T22:52:00.002-05:00

AOL: When was the last time you were completely alone?

Beyonce: The last time I was completely alone was probably yesterday. I have my moments alone — it’s important. Every morning I try to lay in bed and try to think about what I did the day before and what I have to do. I do my own therapy and analyzing, so I can be smarter, stronger and a better woman.

AOL: The ‘I Am’ portion of the album is pretty emotional. When was the last time you cried?

Beyonce: ‘I Am’ — that portion of the record is very emotional, very touching and very vulnerable. I’m an emotional person. I’m really sensitive. Whenever there’s someone in the room crying, I cry. When I watch a Hallmark commercial, I cry. I think it’s one of my gifts; I’m able to connect emotionally to people and it doesn’t take a lot.

AOL: What would your mother say is your worst habit?

Beyonce: My mother would say my worst habit is definitely being messy. They call me Hurricane Beyonce — whenever I walk in a room, you give it about 10 minutes, my purse, my shoes — everything — is all over the place. I’m extremely organized with my work. I’m very detail-oriented and a little bit crazy. So when I come home I don’t want to think about anything. I don’t want to be put together. I just completely destroy everything.

AOL: I heard you’re a pretty good Connect Four player. What’s your secret talent or party trick?

Beyonce: I’m a pretty good Connect Four player. I think I’m the champion. I don’t want to talk too much but I really can back it up. I know people are like, “Yeah, right.” Everybody thought, “OK, that’s the rumor, but let’s try.” I beat quite a few legends.

AOL: Any possibility of a Destiny’s Child reunion?

Beyonce: Destiny’s Child — actually my cousin just had a birthday and all the girls, we flew into New York. We had a party bus and we went to see this show called ‘Fuerzabruta.’ It was amazing. It was so great to see the girls and we stayed up all night, we played musical chairs.We see each other all the time. I heard some stuff that Kelly [Rowland] is doing for her record — Michelle [Williams]’s album is out. They’re my girls. Whenever they need me I’m here, and whenever I need them, they’re here for me. Maybe one day. We always have our surprise performances every year, so we’ll see what happens.
