Questionable Outfit of the Day: Beyonce

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Clothing, Fashion Police, Red Carpet

If there is anyone who could have overshadowed Janet Jackson’s BET Awards appearance last night, it was Beyonce.

I believe it was Coco Chanel who said that when it came to accessorizing, you should always take off the last thing you put on. Unfortunately, this musical diva went a bit too far. What was already a loud dress was made even more garish when she paired it with large turquoise-colored hoops and beaded heels.

Now we know why Jay-Z’s always wearing sunglasses…

Angelina Jolie Tops Oprah on Forbes Power List

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Sports, Television

Apparently I’m a Celebrity has devalued Spencer Pratt’s fame so much, he didn’t even rank in the Top 100.

After combining figures based on entertainment-related earnings and media popularity, there was a surprise shift in the Forbes annual power list. According to the magazine, Angelina Jolie now carries more weight than the reigning talk show queen.

Thanks to a high interest in her new twins, several blockbusters (Wanted, Kung Fu Panda) and her ongoing humanitarian work, Jolie has earned the top spot for 2009. Billionaire Oprah, last year’s #1, slid by only one spot despite a dip in her program’s ratings. Madonna, Beyonce, Tiger Woods, Bruce Springsteen, Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt and Kobe Bryant round off the Top 10.

For a look at the entire list, click here.

Quote of the Day: Beyonce on Rings

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music

For the November issue of Essence magazine, singer Beyonce Knowles finally opens up about her April wedding to Jay-Z.

In the interview, Knowles explains why she was against a big traditional wedding (“It’s been my day so many days already”) and why she didn’t want an engagement ring:

“People put too much emphasis on that. It’s just material and it’s just silly to me.”

Uhhh….is this coming from the same person currently sporting a $5 million dollar ring?

Check Out Beyonce’s Massive Piece of Bling

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Weddings

Sometimes pictures - or massive pieces of jewelry - really do speak louder than words.

Even though Beyonce and Jay-Z have not yet acknowledged their April nuptials, the Dreamgirls star has slowly been confirming the news her own way.

In the past few weeks, the singer has occasionally been seen with a very large rock on her ring finger. The flawless 18 carat gem - designed by Lorraine Schwartz - is valued at a whopping $5 million.

I guess someone won’t be needing to worry about the financial crisis anytime soon.

Beyonce and Jay-Z Now Married

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Weddings, Rumors

Although no official announcement has been released, all signs indicate that Beyoncé Knowles, 26, and rapper Jay-Z, 38, are now indeed married.

After the two were spotted securing a marriage license earlier this week, it was just simply a matter of when.  The couple’s decision to wed on Friday night (4/4) may have been a matter of the date’s significance.  She was born on September 4th; he on December 4th.

According to online reports, the musicians apparently had a small private ceremony earlier in the evening before a much bigger bash that night.  (Tents erected on the roof of Shawn Carter’s Tribeca apartment building indicated something was going to happen.)  Several celebrities - including the girls from Destiny’s Child and Gwyneth Paltrow - were also seen in the area.

Well, until they come out and fully admit the news - I’m going to go ahead and congratulate them anyway.  Cheers!

Beyonce and Jay-Z: Headed to the Altar?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Engagements, Rumors

Could this simply be an April Fool’s joke…or is that what they’d like you to believe?

According to People, Beyonce and Jay-Z have finally taken the next step in their relationship:  They’ve secured a marriage license.  A source tells the magazine that the lovebirds - who have been together since 2002 - obtained the paperwork earlier today in Scarsdale, New York.

Assuming the rumors are true, that means we should probably expect to hear wedding bells for the musicians sometime very soon.  The license hits its expiration date in 60 days.
