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.

After starring as Nicki Minaj’s love interest in her ‘Right Thru Me’ music video, Willy Monfret was unknown until now. On the cover of KRAVE Magazine’s “We Own Fashion” issue, he talks about keeping his blue green eyes on the prize.

Monfret wore a leather, snake skin jacket without a shirt underneath. And the part-time D.J. has recently signed with RED modeling agency.

It looks like we will be seeing more of this hunk in the spot light. Good Luck!

Queen Latifah recently made a statement about the show that she created, ‘Single Ladies’, after she was asked whether or not they would be back for another season.

“My partner Shakim and I are so excited that ‘Single Ladies’ has been received so well. We knew from the beginning this show was going to appeal to people everywhere; it’s funny, sexy and smart. We are so happy that we were able to join with VH1 to find such a great home for this incredible show.”

Queen Latifah seems to be very proud of the success of her show and even though I don’t care much for this particular television series I am happy that the show is doing better than I predicted. Congrats Queen!

The season finale has been scheduled to air August 8th and the next season will begin filming later on this year.

‘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!

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.

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!
