| 50 Cent trolls Omari Hardwick's Beyoncé kiss after it draws backlash at NAACP Awards - Fox News Posted: 02 Apr 2019 07:06 AM PDT  50 Cent is playing Omari Hardwick's Beyoncé kiss on a loop on Instagram to mock the "Power" actor for his controversial greeting. The rapper's video has already garnered more than 4.5 million views since it was posted Monday — a day after Hardwick's interaction with Queen Bey at the 50th NAACP Image Awards went viral. Many fans were quick to deem the double peck on her cheek inappropriate. Beyoncé's husband, Jay Z, got a front row view to the scene, as he was standing beside his wife after she took home the Entertainer of the Year award. ACTOR OMARI HARDWICK DRAWS FAN OUTRAGE FOR KISSING BEYONCE AT NAACP AWARDS "Season 6 of POWER Jay Z kills Ghost don't miss it we lit," 50 Cent captioned the video, referring to Hardwick's fictional character James "Ghost" St. Patrick on the Starz drama. 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, poked fun at Jay Z's reaction to the embrace. "LOL jay was like🤔the f--k is you doing...," the rapper added, in part. Hundreds of people commented on 50 Cent's post. Many continued to highlight how uncomfortable Beyoncé appeared to be, urging other men to consider how to approach and interact with women in an appropriate manner. "B looks flustered," one Instagram user observed. "The disrespect in the second kiss," another added. KELLY RIPA DONS WHITE BIKINI, SHOWS OFF TONED BODY IN INSTAGRAM PHOTO "I can't believe he did this!" a third exclaimed. Others were quick to pile onto 50 Cent's joke about Jay Z's response to the dramatic moment. "He bout to be a ghost forreal," one fan jested, referring to his "Power" persona. "Ghost is ghost in real life," a second echoed. "Might not be a new season of Power after this," a user chimed in. "Jay: 'I ain't mad...' 10 minutes later....Jay: 'I just think it's funny that-!!'" another fan joked. On Sunday, fans flooded Hardwick's Instagram page with bee emoji's – a nod to Beyoncé 's superlative title "Queen Bey" – demanding that the actor apologize. "The beehive is everywhere," one fan noted on a March 16 post. So far, neither Hardwick nor Beyoncé have publicly commented on the interaction at the awards show.  |
| Posted: 29 Mar 2019 08:47 AM PDT Thursday night's 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards was a star-studded bash, but two celebrities stood out: Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The power couple received the prestigious Vanguard Award, and during their acceptance speech, Beyoncé became emotional as she dedicated the honor to her uncle, Johnny, Entertainment Tonight reported. The superstar said her uncle was "the most fabulous gay man I have ever met," and "he lived his truth and he was brave and unapologetic during a time when this country wasn't as accepting." "Witnessing his battle with HIV was one of the most painful experiences I've ever lived," she said. "I'm hopeful that his struggle served to open pathways for other young people to live more freely." The GLAAD Vanguard Award "is presented to celebs and notables who have made a big difference in promoting equality and acceptance of LGBTQ people," according to GLAAD's website. Past recipients include Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Cher and Whoopi Goldberg, ET reported. Beyoncé said LGBTQ rights are human rights, sneaking in a lyric from her song "Formation." "To choose who you love is your human right. How you identify and see yourself is your human right. Who you make love to and take that ass to Red Lobster is your human right," she said as the crowd erupted in applause. A tribute performance before Beyoncé's speech got a standing ovation. "Rupaul's Drag Race" star Shangela lip synced to a Beyoncé medley, prompting Queen Bey herself to stand in astonishment. "I already cried, I put a run in my stocking from Shangela," Beyoncé joked when she got up on stage to accept the award. During her speech, Beyoncé thanked her husband. "I'm so proud of you for making incredible strides towards changing stigmas in the hip-hop community," she said. Jay-Z has opened up about his mother's struggle to come out as a lesbian, due to society's pressures. The rapper said his mom, Gloria Carter, first came out to him while he was working on his album 4:44, which was released last year. Jay-Z then wrote the song "Smile" about his mom's coming out journey. During the acceptance speech, Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, said his mother was honored at the GLAAD awards last year. "I get to follow in her footsteps of spreading love and acceptance in her beautiful speech at the end of the song 'Smile,'" he said. Beyoncé and Jay-Z's night did not end after they received the honor. After the GLAAD Awards, the couple showed up at Diana Ross' 75th birthday party and sang "Happy Birthday" to the icon, according to ET.   |
| Posted: 03 Apr 2019 05:44 AM PDT  Heartfelt tributes to Nipsey Hussle began rolling in from celebrities around the world immediately after news broke that the West Coast rapper was killed on Sunday, March 31. Hussle (real name Ermias Asghedom) was shot multiple times in broad daylight outside his Marathon Clothing store in South Los Angeles before being rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead at the age of 33. The L.A. Police Department later identified 29-year-old Eric Holder as a suspect. Hussle had recently purchased the shopping complex where Marathon is located as part of an initiative to revitalize and bring jobs to his hometown. He also owned a barbershop, a burger restaurant and a fish market in the area. The MC launched his music career more than a decade before his death with a string of mixtapes that he sold locally out of the trunk of his car. Jay-Z once famously purchased 100 copies of Hussle's 2013 tape, Crenshaw. Hussle released his major-label debut, Victory Lap, in February 2018 and scored a Best Rap Album nomination at this year's Grammys, ultimately losing to Cardi B's Invasion of Privacy. He boasted about being "self-made" on several of the album's tracks after years of trying to make a name for himself and doing what he needed to survive, which included joining a street gang as a teenager. "In our culture, there's a narrative that says, 'Follow the athletes, follow the entertainers,'" he told the Los Angeles Times in March 2018. "And that's cool but there should be something that says, 'Follow Elon Musk, follow [Mark] Zuckerberg.' I think that with me being influential as an artist and young and coming from the inner city, it makes sense for me to be one of the people that's waving that flag." Hussle is survived by his girlfriend of six years, actress Lauren London, and his two young children. Scroll down to see Beyoncé, Drake, Rihanna, John Legend and more celebrities' tributes.  |
| Beyoncé and JAY-Z Grace Us With a Stunning Appearance at the NAACP Image Awards - POPSUGAR Posted: 31 Mar 2019 08:01 AM PDT  On Saturday night, Beyoncé and JAY-Z strolled into the NAACP Image Awards, probably knowing good and well that they were stunting on all of us. The husband and wife of 10 years attended the Hollywood occasion looking like a million bucks as Bey modeled a white structured dress and Jay rocked a black double-breasted suit. The two remained close throughout the night, giving each other a sweet kiss during the show and posing for a snapshot while holding hands. At the event, JAY-Z was honored with the president's award for his efforts to combat racism and uplift the black community. The rapper took the stage to accept the award and delivered an emotional speech about the people in his life who have continued to inspire him. He specifically mentioned the impact his grandmother Hattie White and other women in his family had on his career. "I grew up believing I could do anything. I could accomplish anything because of those strong women in my house, so I'd like to dedicate this award to those beautiful women," he said. "I'd like to dedicate this award to the beautiful woman in my life, Beyoncé." JAY-Z — whose real name is Shawn Carter — has been a social justice advocate for years, often using his platform to promote equality. His organization, the Shawn Carter Foundation, was founded by him and his mother, Gloria Carter, in 2003. The network helps students with socio-economic obstacles attend college. Among many other things, he also co-founded the REFORM Alliance, a nonprofit that helps reduce the number of people who are unjustly affected by the criminal justice system. Beyoncé also won the entertainer of the year award and delivered a speech that paid tribute to the other nominees in the category. "Regina King, I love you so much. You taught us patience, persistence, and how to be masterful in your craft," she said. "I'm honored to be included among all of you and to a part of a vital, thriving, beautiful community." The president's award and the entertainer of the year award are two more honors JAY-Z and Beyoncé have received within the past few days. On March 28, they accepted the vanguard award at the GLAAD Media Awards. The merit was in recognition of their support for the LGBTQ+ community. Bey and Jay aren't just making money moves — they're making power moves for the greater good of society and looking fierce while doing it.  |
| 10 Year Column: Even Beyonce couldn't save “Obsessed” - The Crimson While Posted: 03 Apr 2019 10:48 AM PDT   Photo courtesy of RottenTomatoes.com Photo courtesy of RottenTomatoes.com
Here's the pitch: It's "Fatal Attraction," but with Idris Elba instead of Michael Douglas, Ali Larter instead of Glenn Close and Beyonce Knowles instead of Anne Archer. If all that isn't enough, add in Knowles nearly getting strangled to death before forcing Larter through an attic floor. Sounds like a tawdry delight, right? And a tawdry delight it is. "Obsessed" earned deserved awards buzz for such prestigious awards as the MTV Movie Award for Best Fight and an equally deserved 19 percent score on movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The movie, released in April 2009 and directed by television pro Steve Shill, follows Lisa Sheridan (Larter), a temporary assistant at a firm where Derek Charles (Elba) has made a name for himself. For reasons unknown, Lisa develops a romantic obsession with Derek, creating a strain on the relationship between Derek and his wife, Sharon (Knowles). Elba, Knowles, and Larter are all convincing in their respective roles, but the story of "Obsessed" is flimsy at best. Take Larter's Lisa: Lisa is hopelessly in love with Derek, despite his constant rejection. Her titular obsession is never explained and hardly explored. It remains unclear if Lisa knows that Derek is not in love with her. Larter's seductively conniving looks are either a sign that Lisa knows she's framing Derek for an affair they never had or evidence that Lisa believes their love is 100 percent real. Larter, who truly gives everything that she has to the role, is betrayed by screenwriter David Loughery, who peppers in little-to-no backstory about Lisa. Lisa, despite commanding just as much screen time as Beyonce's Sharon, doesn't get even half of the contextualization bestowed upon Sharon. The audience gets three basic notes about Lisa: she has a sister; she's a temp; and she would very much like to have sex with Idris Elba. This feels like a description of a lot of women. Larter's dedication to Lisa's craziness falls flat simply because there is no depth below her performance. Why does Lisa continue to chase Derek–at her own expense–when he so clearly wants nothing to do with her? As for Elba, his strong and stoic leading man is about half as interesting as a cardboard box. Derek, who seems maybe-but-perhaps-not-quite to be attracted to Lisa, refuses to give into her repeated attempts at seduction. That may be all well and good for the marriage between Derek and Sharon, but his moral compass does nothing but derail the film before it even gets to chugging along. It robs Lisa of a motive to continue chasing Derek and forces the audience to believe in the relationship between Derek and Sharon, which, frankly, is barely there. Knowles and Elba, for all their good looks and undeniable charm, are utterly lacking in interpersonal chemistry. In two different scenes, references are made to the mirror built into the ceiling of the master bedroom in the couple's newly bought house. Sure, it's an awkward smile in the theatre kind of joke, but there is no believability to the desire between the two of them. At best, they seem like two friends who have a kid together. At worst, there's nothing there at all. When Sharon kicks Derek out of the house for betraying her, their months-long separation does nothing but make Sharon seem incredibly unforgiving, seeing as Derek is completely innocent of infidelity. Knowles is stuck inside of a one-dimensional good girl character who isn't even allowed to be entirely likeable. Knowles herself sank time and money into the film, with her production company Parkwood Entertainment billed as one of two production companies on the movie. It's rare that the phrase, "Poor Beyonce," is relevant, but with the pop star's potentially last starring live action role being in this movie, it's safe to say: Poor Beyonce.  |
| Posted: 28 Mar 2019 02:37 PM PDT  Mathew Knowles with Destiny's Child MUSIC WORLD ENTERTAINMENTBeyoncé's father, Mathew Knowles, is an author, professor, public speaker, entrepreneur, music executive, artist manager and founder of Music World Entertainment. Based out of Houston, Music World Entertainment is celebrating over 25 years as one of the world's leading music and entertainment conglomerates, with record sales exceeding $450 million worldwide, with artists Chaka Khan, Earth Wind & Fire, The O'Jays, Destiny's Child, Solange and Beyoncé, just to name a few. Knowles is widely recognized in the entertainment industry for his approach to developing and promoting award-winning artists. Through Music World Entertainment and Artist Management, he has served as executive producer for more than 100 award-winning, platinum and gold albums in multiple genres, including pop, R&B, gospel, dance and country, as well as soundtracks and special-themed project. I spoke with Mathew about launching Beyoncé and Destiny's Child to international fame, the latest trends in music marketing and some exciting new projects he has in the works. Jackie Huba: Congratulations on all of your success in your extensive career in music and entertainment. Let's go back to the beginning. Talk about your strategies in launching Destiny's Child. Mathew Knowles: When we came into the industry, it was girl groups. It was SWV. There was Xscape. There was TLC. There was En Vogue. There was real girl‑group competition, but what set us aside was my former wife, Tina, did an incredible job in creating the image of Destiny's Child. Most of the groups back then were wearing baggy pants and boots. We came with glamour and glitz. Beyoncé did an incredible job of differentiating the sound of Destiny's Child in her songs. When you hear Destiny's Child, you know it based on the harmonies and the melodies. There is music strategy but also branding as well. [Based on my time at AT&T, Xerox, Phillips and Johnson & Johnson,] it gave me a different view of the music industry than even the music industry had. We came in with a different concept of building a brand. What could we do to make Destiny's Child distinctive from their image, their sound, the name? We were about branding, not just the music. I came in with branding and endorsements. That was foreign at the time. No one was really doing that. We had brand partners [such as] L'Oreal, Nintendo, American Express. Also, our biggest relationship was with Walmart. Huba: The connection with fans is also so important. Can you talk how important it was to have those grassroots connections with fans? Knowles: It's critical...I was fortunate because with Destiny's Child, they had incredible talent, great songs. We had those strategic alliances, but also their ability to perform and building the fan base one show at a time, be it TV, be it on stage, on tour. The publicity and TV was so critical, but also was building that base one fan at a time. Especially now, with social media, the fans will certainly do the word of mouth for you. Huba: When you work with your artists, even today, how do you help them understand how important growing a passionate fan base is? Knowles: One thing that set Music World Entertainment apart is artist development. I've been an educator all my life pretty much. It's important as a manager and also as a record label, to educate your artists on public speaking, how to build that connection, how to communicate effectively, to have a general working knowledge of the music industry. That's artist development. Destiny's Child -- Beyoncé, Kelly, Michelle -- and Solange...they've been in this business for over twenty years. They have a grasp of it [now]. Obviously, when they first got in the industry, I was mainly the architect because they were 15 years old. When we signed at Columbia Records, the girls were 15 and 16 years old. Obviously, they didn't have a working knowledge of the industry then. Now, I'm really proud to see what all of them have done on their own as artists. Now Beyoncé has her own Parkwood Entertainment. Solange just came out with her fourth album on March 1st. I'm really proud of what them. Now they're businesswomen. Huba: In 2013, Beyoncé broke the Internet with her surprise album drop creating a huge amount of buzz. What was the thinking on taking that route that vs. traditional promotion? Knowles: For the first two solo albums, I was joint venture record label and manager for Beyoncé. The last two albums I haven't been involved. I've been looking from the outside. But the most amazing thing to me is the fact of the secrecy of the record label. The fact that many people knew and nobody said a word. To me, that's the most incredible part of it all...how do you keep that a secret with a major record label like Columbia Records? We have to understand that Beyoncé is iconic. Every artist can't do that. Only one percent of artists are really profitable and successful. Beyoncé is one‑tenth of one percent. When we talk about what she can do, ninety-nine percent of artists can't do that. Huba: That self-titled album was a "visual album" where every track already had a video. Beyoncé wasn't the first artist to do this but it was a huge achievement, which also didn't leak. What is the significance of this complete package of music and visuals? Knowles: I always smile whenever I hear somebody talk about Beyoncé being the first to do this visual album. You're right; some other artists did it. She learned from her dad. Destiny's Child had exclusive video anthology album at Walmart, and so did Beyoncé on her first album. Huba: Do you feel like a lot of artists now need to do more than just the music? Do they need to add something to it to gain more attention and promotion for what they're offering? Knowles: Every artist is not a visual artist. A lot of that has to do with imaging, the concept. I wouldn't recommend that for every artist. Again, when you look at Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, and artists of that statue, they are visual artists. I believe the trend ‑‑ and this is a Mathew Knowles prediction ‑‑ the trend in the future is you will not hear music, you will see music. You'll see more and more artists using a visual concept. Huba: Beyoncé has become a voice for women's empowerment, for example with the "Run the World (Girls)" song. How have you seen her grow into being more outspoken on these type of issues? Knowles: You have to understand that was strategy, Jackie. "Independent Women," "Bootylicious," ...those are all female empowerment songs, starting with Destiny's Child, as always. What I'm really proud of Beyoncé and Solange, they understand the importance of creating the narrative. It's all about the narrative and how you position yourself with your narrative. I'm very proud [of them]. Last year Solange had a number one album and a Grammy. Beyoncé and Solange are the first sisters in the history of music to have number one albums the same year. I get to now play the role as dad, which I embrace. Huba: What are you working on next? Knowles: We're working on a Destiny's Child play, which will be announced soon. It's from my perspective, from my next book that's coming out. I'm on my fourth book. My first book was The DNA of Achievers. My second book was Racism from The Eyes of a Child. I grew up in Alabama and I never went to a black school until Fisk University and I'm 66 years old. You can imagine what that was like. My third book was The Emancipation of Slaves Through Music. My next book is Destiny's Child: The Untold Story. People really don't know the true story of how it all unfolded from Girl's Tyme, to the Dolls, to Something Fresh, to Cliché, to Destiny, to Destiny's Child and all the many members over those years. Nobody knows the real story. We get the sensationalism, but this will be the untold story, the real true story. I have people that worked with the girls since day one that I interviewed. Excited about that because it's time. I've learned that I always sat back in the back room, and was very comfortable with that. I do realize that, if I don't tell my story the way I want to tell it, somebody else will tell the story. I'm about now telling my story.  |
| Who could replace Rolling Stones at Jazz Fest: Beyonce? Bruce Springsteen? U2? - NOLA.com Posted: 30 Mar 2019 11:34 AM PDT Now that the Rolling Stones have canceled their 2019 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival show, who can deliver an emotional rescue? It will take a big name - Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen and U2 come to mind - but after all the buildup, it's not clear anyone can fill the Stones' shoes. At the close of the 49th annual Jazz Fest in 2018, a buzz of anticipation arose among New Orleans music fans. The headliner for the 50th anniversary festival would have to be an act big enough to befit the milestone event in the country's most important music city. In January, when the festival management finally confirmed the long-rumored appearance by the Stones, hearts sang. Hearts sank Saturday (March 30), however, when the band announced the indefinite postponement of its North American tour, including the May 2 appearance at the Fair Grounds. The reason was 75-year-old Mick Jagger's need for an unspecified medical treatment.  Rolling Stones canceled for Jazz Fest Band scrubs entire No Filter tour because Mick Jagger is ailing Speaking for New Orleans, we wish Mr. Jagger the sort of faster-than-fast recovery appropriate for Jumpin' Jack Flash. We love you, Mick.  Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band perform on the Acura stage during the New Orleans Jazz Fest Saturday, May 3, 2014. (Photo by David Grunfeld, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune) Perhaps there's no real need to replace Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie. There are already scads of other fabulous shows on the Jazz Fest schedule, including Katy Perry, who is probably now the marquee act. Tom Jones, a 1960s British star in his own right, is already scheduled to appear May 2 and could certainly serve as the daily closer. And who knows, the Stones might reschedule in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome at a later date, as a sort of delayed Jazz Fest appearance. Are the Stones irreplaceable at this late date? Or does festival producer Quint Davis have any other cards up his Hawaiian shirt sleeves? Locally born pop diva Britney Spears has taken a hiatus to spend time with family, and Paul McCartney is already scheduled for a May show at the Smoothie King Center, so they're probably out. Could Crescent City-centric Beyoncé formulate an outdoor show in barely one month? Could post-Katrina Jazz Fest hero Bruce Springsteen pull a show together that quickly? Could U2 bring a spare version of its recent tour to Gentilly? Drake is in Las Vegas on May 4; what's he doing May 2? With only 33 days until May 2, it can't be long before we learn if a stand-in has stepped up.
