She?s one of the biggest stars around, and now Beyonc Knowles' is snagging a place in one of the funkiest museums in the country.
On Friday morning (July 18), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced that starting next week, the ?Drunk in Love? singer?s iconic outfits are going to be on display inside the museum.
Exhibits of this nature were only offered to Hall of Fame inductees like Michael Jackson and David Bowie in the past. Beyonce isn?t even eligible to be inducted until 2022.
According to reports, the exhibit features a wide array of ensembles from Bey?s music videos, red carpet events and even her Super Bowl halftime show performance.
One of the most popular items on display will surely be the singer?s Lorraine Schwartz-designed metal glove from the ?Single Ladies? music video.

Who releases a statement at like 5 pm on a Thursday, especially when it?s about one of the biggest gossip/news stories of the year? Beyonce and Jay-Z, that?s who. Bey and Jay have finally issued a statement about Solange?s violent attack on Jay in the hours after the Met Gala, in the elevator of The Standard Hotel. Here is that statement:
“As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it,” they say in a statement to The Associated Press Thursday.
“Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.”
“The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false,” the statement continued. “At the end of the day families have problems and we’re no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.”

I could parse this for days. ?Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred.? Their share? As in? their share of the blame is unequal? As in, Jay said something that he shouldn?t have, maybe, but then Solange went crazy on him? So, Jay has 10% of the blame and Solange has 90%? Also, Solange wasn?t drunk or acting crazy? okay. I like how Beyonce thinks this is going to placate the Hive. Like, all of her fans are going to be like, ?Oh, Beyonce says it?s just some family stuff and they?ve worked it out. DONE.? No, girl. We still want to know what the eff happened.

A new report by Us says the reason Beyonce and Jay Z seemed so calm during Solange’s temper tantrumwas because they were used to it.
“Solange has flipped her lid like that before,” the insider explains of the stylish singer and producer, 27. “She is genuinely a sweet and nice person but she also keeps sh– real. She can take a small thing and it triggers her.”
“Keeping shit real” is code for “bitch be crazy” by the way. This wasn’t a sudden outburst either. Earlier in the night, Solange got into it with designer Rachel Roy and others during the Boom Boom Room party.
?Solange had too much to drink and was out of it by the time the performances started after the dinner at the Met Ball ? she was dancing like a crazy person,? a source said.
Another source said the ?Losing You? singer argued with Roy shortly after arriving at the Standard and Beyonc, 32, came to her defense when another guest attempted to intervene.
When the female guest asked Solange, ??What is your problem?? Beyonc defended her sister and told the guest, ?You don?t get to speak to my sister that way.??
Everything boiled over when Jay Z made a comment at the elevator thatSolange took the wrong way causing her to throw a bitch fit.
“This is not the first time this has happened,” the first source says of the elevator fit. “That’s why Bey and Jay were so calm. They are used to this from Solange. It has definitely happened before.”
It’s like a mom watching their kid throw a temper tantrum for the umpteenth time. The best thing to do is keepcalm and roll your eyes at them. That way you can laugh even more at their impotent rage when they get even angrier.

Here are photos of Beyonce and Jay-Z at the 2014 Met Gala. Beyonce wore Givenchy for the second year in a row ? remember last year?s utter disaster? I?m sorry, but Riccardo Tisci?s work for Givenchy is just not good. That being said, this Givenchy look is much better than last year?s, although that?s not saying much. I do like that Beyonce and Jay-Z stuck with the theme, which was supposed to be black-and-white and old-school glam. Jay looks really nice in his white jacket.
I was trying to figure out a few things as I looked through these photos. One: just how naked is Beyonce? The skirt of the dress isn?t lined, but are we actually seeing shadowy butt cheek and/or Beygina? I don?t think so. I think there?s some kind of lining or something in the crotch and butt area. Two: is that netted headpiece not really a headpiece? Is it actually just a netted piece that someone just stuck on her head for giggles? I ask because it doesn?t seem to be attached to anything?
As for the Givenchy look overall? it?s incredibly unflattering. Beyonce?s body has never looked better these days, and she?s at her thinnest in years. So why is she wearing something that makes her look 15 pounds heavier than she actually is? Also: the jewelry is too heavy for Bey.

You know what I just realized? The majority of the stories I?ve written about Beyonce in the past year have originated with her Tumblr, and Beyonce posting new photos on her Tumblr. Beyonce has achieved what so many celebrities can only dream of: she?s pap?d rarely, she maintains her stardom meticulously, she keeps a 24-7 archive of all things Beyonce and, most importantly, she almost always controls the story. I wouldn?t be covering this if Beyonce didn?t WANT me to cover it. Slow clap for Beysus.
Anyway, Beyonce posted these adorable photos of Blue Ivy and the Carter family?s Easter holiday. Blue Ivy got to chill with the Easter bunny (please tell me the Easter bunny is Jay-Z?!?!) and Blue and her mom both wore bunny ears. According to People Mag, the Carter family (plus Tina Knowles) spent Easter in Beverly Hills, at the Beverly Hills Hotel?s Polo Lounge. The hotel apparently set up a special Easter egg hunt for the kids, and Blue got a special Easter basket plus she got to interact with peasant children. People Mag also says Beyonce was really nice to everyone, even the peasants.
PS? I love Blue Ivy?s Easter dress. But I dislike her mom?s ensemble.

I haven’t done a post on Beyonce in forever, but that’ll change real fast if she keeps doing sexy photoshoots like this one for Out Magazine. Not to nitpick or anything though, but it’s my professional opinion that her handbra technique could use some work. I’m guessing she’s just a little rusty these days. But […]

| | Beyonce: 'There is a double standard when it comes to sexuality that still persists' | | Added 10 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Beyonce and her blonde wig cover the new issue of Out Magazine. It?s a surprising choice for Beyonce, who basically has done NO magazine promotion for her album thus far. I remember her last album and the promotion ? Beyonce was all over the place, on cover after cover after cover, and she really oversaturated the market then. I like that she?s changing it up, and I think it?s cool that she did an Out cover. You can read Out?s profile here ? she really did allow the magazine into her inner sanctum. Some highlights from the interview:
On the album being one of her most sexually liberated projects: ?I?d like to believe that my music opened up that conversation. There is unbelievable power in ownership, and women should own their sexuality. There is a double standard when it comes to sexuality that still persists. Men are free and women are not. That is crazy. The old lessons of submissiveness and fragility made us victims. Women are so much more than that. You can be a businesswoman, a mother, an artist, and a feminist ? whatever you want to be ? and still be a sexual being. It?s not mutually exclusive.
On the rawness of her voice in the song ?XO?: ?When I recorded ?XO? I was sick with a bad sinus infection. I recorded it in a few minutes just as a demo and decided to keep the vocals. I lived with most of the songs for a year and never re-recorded the demo vocals. I really loved the imperfections, so I kept the original demos. I spent the time I?d normally spend on backgrounds and vocal production on getting the music perfect. There were days I spend solely on getting the perfect mix of sounds for the snare alone. Discipline, patience, control, truth, risk, and effortlessness were all things I thought about while I was putting this album together.
On the numerous groups, including the LGBT community, that identify with the lyrics of her fifth album: ?While I am definitely conscious of all the different types of people who listen to my music, I really set out to make the most personal, honest, and best album I could make. I needed to free myself from the pressures and expectations of what I thought I should say or be, and just speak from the heart. Being that I am a woman in a male-dominated society, the feminist mentality rang true to me and became a way to personalize that struggle?But what I?m really referring to, and hoping for, is human rights and equality, not just that between a woman and a man. So I?m very happy if my words can ever inspire or empower someone who considers themselves an oppressed minority?We are all the same and we all want the same things: the right to be happy, to be just who we want to be and to love who we want to love.
On her worries as she neared the completion of the album and prepared for its release: ?I was recording, shooting videos, and performing on the tour every night, all at the same time. At some point I felt like, What am I doing? Is this too ambitious? Even the day the record was to be released I was scared to death. But I also knew if I was that scared, something big was about to happen.
[From Out Magazine]
I remember a time when Beyonce didn?t really want to speak up for her LGBT fans, so it?s nice that she?s evolved to the point where she?s talking about human rights and equality explicitly. As for her feminism? I don?t have a huge problem with it. I loathe the flame wars between women about how feminism should be defined and which woman has the ?wrong? definition of feminism. If Beyonce considers herself a feminist then so be it. Good for her. I think this is her strongest feminist statement: ?You can be a businesswoman, a mother, an artist, and a feminist ? whatever you want to be ? and still be a sexual being. It?s not mutually exclusive.? Truth.

Treating themselves to an evening of sport, Beyonc Knowles and Jay Z attended the Brooklyn Nets vs Houston Rockets basketball game on Tuesday night (April 1).
The ?Single Ladies? songstress sported a blue-and-tan striped dress with a blazer as she and her hubby sat courtside at the Barclays Center to cheer on the home team.
After the exciting game, the officials of the Nets shared an adorable photo of the couple at the game and dished about the Nets making it to the 2014 NBA Playoffs.
?Big #Brooklyn welcome to Jay-Z & @Beyonce back at @barclayscenter to catch tonight?s @BrooklynNets game! It?s no April Fools. The Brooklyn Nets have clinched a spot in the 2014 @NBA Playoffs!?

This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time that we?re hearing stories about Beyonce hating Kim Kardashian. Everyone wants Kim and Bey to have some sort of girlfight, or even more than that, people want Beyonce to openly shade Kim Kardashian. The thing is? I don?t think Beyonce really cares. I mean, I doubt Kim is Beyonce?s favorite person in the world, but there?s no evidence to suggest that Beyonce considers Kim to be anything other ?the woman Kanye loves.? Bey and Kim even hung out a bit during Jay and Yeezington?s Watch the Throne tour. Still, girl-on-girl drama sells, so let?s see if you?re buying:
Forget diamonds, Kim is NOT this girl?s best friend. Superstar singer Beyonc is telling pals she doesn?t want to attend Kim Kardashian and Kanye West?s much-hyped wedding because she thinks it?s extremely tacky that the nuptials are going to be filmed for E!?s Keeping Up With The Kardashians, RadarOnline.com has been told.
The 17-time Grammy Award-winner has told husband Jay Z and his best pal, Kanye, that ?under no circumstances will she be a part of any filming on the wedding day if it?s for Kim?s reality show,? a source close to the situation revealed.
?Jay and Beyonc?s wedding was shrouded in secrecy and extreme lengths were made to make sure their wedding was an intimate affair for friends and family, only. This will be the complete opposite. She thinks it?s just tacky. Beyonc?s motto has always been, less is more. But clearly when it comes to Kim, more means more. She knows she?ll have to go to the wedding, but really does not to want to.?
The insider said the only reason the pop diva, 32, will attend the I Do?s in Paris on May 24 is because West ?considers them family.?
?Make no mistake, the only reason Beyonc is going to the wedding is because Jay is best friend?s with Kanye,? the spy said.
[From Radar]
Yeah, Beyonce probably does think Kim is tacky. Which is true. Kim is really tacky. Beyonce?s pretty tacky too, just not to the extreme like Kim. So, what does it even matter? I?d be willing to bet that Beyonce and Jay-Z will come to the wedding, and there might even be a glimpse of them on a very special E! Wedding Event. And if and when that happens, the Bey-centered universe will still exist. The Bey-hive will not be destroyed. It will be fine.

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg caused a lot of controversy/discussion when her memoir/business advice book Lean In was published last year. I never got around to reading it, but I read a lot of the coverage of the book, which had the central premise of ?women need to ?lean in? to their careers? and ?career ambition is not a bad thing for women.? Sandberg was criticized for speaking to (and for) a lot of upper-class, educated white women exclusively, but I kind of thought that the general points about setting career goals, seeking mentorships with powerful women and men and fighting for your own interests were well-received. Sandberg wasn?t trying to say ?every woman needs to be like this? or ?my experience was universal.? She meant to start a larger conversation and that?s what she did.
Well, now Sandberg is doing a ?Lean In? PSA for Lifetime called ?Ban Bossy?. The PSA also stars Jennifer Garner, Jane Lynch, Beyonce, secretary of education Arne Duncan and more. The idea is that when men take control and have ambitions, they?re called ?the boss.? When women do the same, they?re called ?bossy,? like it?s a pejorative. Beyonce chimes in at the end of the PSA with this: ?I’m not bossy. I’m the boss.”
Tina Fey wrote about this ?bossy? issue in her wonderful memoir Bossypants as well. Tina has always been ?bossy? ? and she ended up becoming the boss, an employer to many, many people. Speaking as someone who was called ?bossy? time and time again when I was a girl? this is a great message. Really. Except that when I was called bossy, I never took it as an insult. I was always like, ?Oh, I guess I?m bossy then. Now let me tell you what to do.?
