Breaking News
- Has pop’s Queen Bee publicly shamed her cheating husband… or is it all a cynical money-making stunt? ( 27 April 2016 ) :
Pop fans love to dissect the more opaque lyrics of their idols for hidden meaning. But there really was no mistaking what Beyonce was getting at when she released her new album, Lemonade, at the weekend. Pretty much every song had a reference to the man in her life cheating on her.
‘Tonight I regret the night I put that ring on,’ she reveals in Sorry. On Pray You Catch Me, she sings: ‘You can taste the dishonesty, it’s on your breath as you pass it off so cavalier.’
The ‘visual album’ has been billed as ‘based on every woman’s journey of self-knowledge and healing’. A pretentious, extended wallow in self-pity? The critics don’t think so, hailing its moving portrayal of what one called the ‘resilience of black womanhood’. And yet, after all the Sturm und Drang, Beyonce makes clear that she and her man have reconciled, intoning: ‘So we’re gonna heal. We’re gonna start again.’

Beyoncé Superbowl scandal ( Feb 9, 2016) :
Beyoncé Giselle Knowles started a race row at the Superbowl and nearly went flying. Sexy superstar Beyonce Knowles looked sensation at the Superbowl as she stole the show from Lady Gaga, Coldplay and Bruno Mars. But she also created controversy with accusations that she was promoting her own political and race agenda with her backing dancers in black wigs appearing to form a X-formation in homage to black activist Malcolm X. She was also being scrutinized after a recent cleavage-baring video fuelled the rumors that she is pregnant again.
Not only that, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles also stumbled and almost landed backwards on her ass during the performance. In true diva fashion, she styled it out and ended up receiving praise for her cool save.

She famously announced her last pregnancy at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. She unbuttoned her sequinned tuxedo jacket at the end of her performance of “Love on Top,” (literally) dropped her mic, and rubbed her belly.
