IndepenentWomenNews: Beyoncé Talks About Her Insecurities… July 19, 2011

by: PatriceJohnson, Your Black World

IndependentWomenNews…

People may not believe it but Beyoncé does have insecurities! After giving a performance in London this past week and having to end the show early because she lost her voice, fans were not angry as they helped her sing the chorus to her song  ‘Countdown’.

On the TV special she talked about the things that make her who she is and the insecurities that she has.

There were some excerpt of her interview from the show that were released:

On gross things you may see while she’s on stage
“My nose runs a lot and when I’m singing I can’t blow it, so there have been occasions when I’ve ended up with a ‘bubble’ coming out my nose”

On sweating while on stage
Everyone thinks I have the fans (wind machines) because I’m being fashionable, but I work so hard on stage if I didn’t have them I’d be dripping.”

On parts of her body she would change
If I could change one part it would be my feet. After all the years dancing they’re a little beat up. And I wear big earrings because I don’t like my ears.”

The full TV special, “A Night With Beyoncé” will be airing in December.

MovieNews…

‘Think Like A Man’ has been the upcoming movie that has African Americans buzzing about who is going to star in the film, what the movie is going to be about, and what we should all expect as far as drama, comedy, romance, etc. Recently the cast of the movie got a little bigger when Terence J., Lala, and Meagan Good were added to the all-star list.

A movie based on Steve Harvey’s bestselling book ‘Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man’ is telling the story of four friends and their relationships. When their women go out and buy a copy of Steve Harvey’s book then tables are quickly turned and their relationships are left shaken up.

Other cast member that we can all expect to see in this film would be Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara, Regina Hall, Kevin Hart, Taraji P. Henson, Romany Malco, Gary Owen, Gabrielle Union, and Arielle Kebbel. The movie is set to release on April 6, 2012 and I will be the first in line. Mr. Harvey’s book is amazing so I know that his movie will be unmatched!

ParenthoodNews: Beyonce’s Father Denies Ever Stealing From Her… July 18, 2011

by: PatriceJohnson, Your Black World

ParenthoodNews…

After being fired by his daughter two months ago, Matthew Knowles has been accused of unethical business behavior, including allegations that he stole money from his own daughter.  Matthew has denied stealing any money from Beyonce at any time. He claims that he and his daughter still have a great relationship, but his concern is that people from her camp continue to try to ruin his reputation. Those people include employees of Beyonce’s super star husband, Jay-Z and other members of ROC Nation.

After filing papers in Texas court, Matthew Knowles made this statement:

“We absolutely have not taken any money from Beyoncé, and all dollars will be accounted for,” he told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday afternoon. “In no way have we stole money. Again, this about the people who have made these claims — they have to come into the light.”

Mr. Knowles has guided his daughter’s career since she was 10-years-old.  After Beyoncé announced that he would no longer be her manager, she made a public statement to show that there is no animosity between her and her father.

“He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly. I am grateful for everything he has taught me.”

Everything seems to be okay between the two of them, but even if there are some other issues, then they obviously want to deal with them privately. I wish the two of them the best of luck in both of their careers.

HipHopNews: Chris Brown Defends Himself Against FOX News Via Twitter… July 18, 2011

by: PatriceJohnson, Your Black World

HipHopNews…

After Fox News began to bash Chris Brown for his performance on NBC he took to Twitter to defend himself, and he also had a little help from another celeb, 50 Cent defended Chris Brown after he saw Fox News hating on the young star.

Chris Brown’s tweet:

“People really should grow up sometimes! I guess the next story they make up will say “chris brown paid the fans to come! #stopit5 hahaha..I get it though! They are upset at the fact that the today show actually focuses on talent instead of an almost 3 year old incident! Running bogus and pointless stories don’t matter! My fans prove that everyday and the haters just look old as F**k ! I keep my head high and my middle finger higher! I love team breezy. Let’s just laugh it off cuz they mad. Ahahahahaha..Fame + Platinum= Fortune! Nobody can take my joy. I have some of the most incredible fans in the world. Goodnight y’all!”

50 Cent’s Tweet in Chris Brown’s defense:

“I just saw a clip on FOX news Hating on NBC for having chris brown on. Unbelievable. I’m never watching that [channel] again. He paid for his mistake #!@%*# holes.”

Chris Brown did make a mistake, no doubt about that, but everyone makes mistakes and I feel that he has paid for his. Let him breath and get off of his back!

AreTheyDatingNews…

So, I guess Usher and Grace Miguel are over? You’d think so since he was seen with German Model, Victoria Martini, outside Lair nightclub in New York this weekend.

Usher was strolling the streets while Martini was inside Lair shooting for a music video. When he saw the 5’11 beauty he stopped and snapped a few pictures with her, then gave her some career advice and left the scene after saying, “I’ll see you soon, I’m sure”.

This could be nothing more than a friend trying to help out a friend but I mean come on, it’s Usher, the player of the century.

HipHopNews: Wiz & Amber Get Private Out In Public! July 18, 2011

by: PatriceJohnson, Your Black World

HipHopNews…

Is it anything new? I think not!

Wiz and Amber have been known to get a little nasty out in public by grabbing booties, licking tongues, and grabbing more booties, but I really don’t know what to think about this one. Wiz is starting to get a little bit over board with his affection giving, by getting down on his knees and licking Amber Rose’s shorts.

I understand that they are in love, but there should be some boundaries when it comes to them being in love. You just keep some things private…

Come on Wiz man! Get off your knees!

Since last Friday, J Lo and her husband of 7 years, Marc Anthony, have decided to get a divorce. No one knows the exact reason why yet, but there are some swirly rumors swirling around.

It is believed that J Lo was mixing it up with video vixen hottie, William Levy during her music video for her single, “I’m Into You”. This may seem to be a little bit much right now, but only time will tell if they are lustin’ it up or just acting.,

AreYouSeriousNews: Man Denied At Blood Bank Because He Seemed Really Gay… July 18, 2011

by: PatriceJohnson, Your Black World

AreYouSeriousNews…

Aaron Pace, 22, was trying to give blood in his home town of Gary, IN. but was denied  because he seemed to be gay.

“I was humiliated and embarrassed… It’s not right that homeless people can give blood but homosexuals can’t. And I’m not even a homosexual.”

No one returned phone calls from the Bio-Blood donation center to give commentary but plasma centers around the country have been citing a 30-year-old policy to turn away gay men who want to give blood. Whether you have had sex with a man once or thousands of times, you will still be denied.

It seems senseless to me that they would turn away homosexuals because of fear of HIV but they won’t turn away heterosexuals who could also have HIV.

Even though this policy will remain the same, I still believe that it should be lightened a little. Just because a man is gay does not mean that he has HIV. Test the blood, if HIV is not detected then give the blood to some one who may need it.

HipHopNews: Bruno Mars Talks Fame, Drugs & Future… July 18, 2011

by: PatriceJohnson, Your Black World

HipHopNews…

With his cute smile and Elvis hair style, I knew that Bruno Mars was going to be in the game for a while when I first heard him on B.O.B.’s “Nothing On You” track. He has a stage presence that is unmatched and I know that there are nothing but more great things to come from Mr. Mars.

Bruno Mars recently took on Billboard Magazine in the 50 Year Celebration addition:

On getting dropped by his first label, Universal Motown
I wasn’t ready for it. I did nothing. And the lesson was — why are you waiting for someone to come and write a song with you? You know how to play the freakin’ guitar. Do it on your own.

“There was a lot of rejection. A lot of other labels saying, ‘You don’t know who the hell you are. You’re doing all this reggae, R&B, rock stuff. How the hell do we market that? Are you pop? Are you urban?’ Elektra gave me a shot and trusted my vision.”

On how he became a songwriter first
Brandon [Creed, then VP of A&R at Epic Records] was always saying, ‘You need a story. You need to be in the studio writing for people.’ At the time I was like, ‘You’re crazy. I’m amazing!’ But he was absolutely right. Working and interacting with other artists and being so involved with the business aspect; understanding A&R, understanding radio, understanding music videos meant that when it came to my time, I’d seen how it goes.”

On being caught with cocaine
It’s something that I wish would go away. It’s a cloud that constantly follows me no matter how many achievements. I’d like to move on. To show that I’m here for my music. Not to be in a tabloid.

On his success
It’s a rare thing that happens, especially in this day, where it’s real hard to sell albums. I’m traveling to places that I’ve never even heard of and there are all these people singing the songs back — and English is not even their first language. It’s like, what the hell happened?

On who he would like to work with in the near future
I’m just a mixed-up dude. I want to work with the Kanyes, the Jay-Zs… a Rihanna, a Gaga, Kings of Leon, Mumford & Sons. I want to do all those things. As proud as I am of “Doo-Wops,” I feel like, ‘Oh, man. People haven’t seen nothing. They don’t even know what I’m about to do,’ and that’s what I can’t wait to show the world.

Words of Wisdom for Artists
“When people fall is when they’re like, ‘OK. Now I’m here, what’s next? A clothing line?’ That’s not what I’m trying to do. It’s like, ‘Don’t be a slut. Remember your dream. Do your music and keep it special.’”

I absolutely love his music and this interview made me appreciate him so much more…

SMHNews: Woman Tries To Kill Pit Bull But Accidentally Shoots & Kills Husband… July 18, 2011

by: PatriceJohnson, Your Black World

SMHNews…

Mississippi Police say that a woman tried to kill a puppy after he lunged at a group of children, but accidentally shot and killed her own husband.

Friday, the pit bull by the name of Cocaine tried to attack the children, and the mother panicked.   But the son of the man who was killed claimed that the kids were all brought into the house and that his father picked up the puppy to calm him down.

After Robert Walker, 53, grabbed the puppy his wife fired twice, shooting the dog once in the leg and shooting her husband once in the chest.  A Police spokeswoman said that the shooting appeared to have been accidental, but the woman had to be taken into custody.

R.I.P. to her husband. And I hope that the family can recover from such a tragic accident.
