Beyonce has been sued for $100 million by a video game developer.
Gate Five claims that the "Listen" star went back on her word for a $20 million deal for the proposed game named Starpower: Beyonce. Legal representatives for the 30-year-old singer insisted that she had the choice to back out of the agreement after she discovered that the company had not come up with the necessary budget for what was needed to create the product named after her.
Gate Five, however, has replied that she unfairly pulled out only three days before she was supposed to officially sign a contract with them back in December 2010. They maintain that her actions resulted in them losing millions of dollars and having to fire 70 employees.
The New York Post reports that Justice Charles Ramos has allowed the lawsuit to go to trial, as Beyonce should have given the company notice before quitting the deal. Beyonce has declined any comment on the matter.

Etta James’ Death Was a ‘Spiritual Moment’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Obituaries
Etta James' son has described her death as a "spiritual moment." Donto James, 43, explained the legendary singer - who passed away yesterday at the age of 73 following a battle with leukemia - spent her final moments in his arms, which was a "true gift."
"It's been quite a day but I'm very grateful. She basically passed in my arms, and I was able to share everything I needed to say to her, from praying to listing her accomplishments as a mother. I asked her if she heard what I said, and she'd flutter her eyes and look at me very quickly. And she had been nonreactive before that. It was spiritual and a true gift to be with her when it happened. I wouldn't want it any other way than for her to go in our arms."
In a tribute to the "At Last" hitmaker - who was admitted to a hospital in Riverside, California, as her condition deteriorated on Thursday night - Donto praised his mother as a "wonderful" woman: "I told her that I loved her. I said, 'You were a wonderful mother, you did a wonderful job, your seven grandchildren love you, and they will be okay.' For sure, the world lost a legend today. I am very proud of her, and very thankful."

Jessica Alba Thinks Beyonce Should Sell Baby Pictures
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Celebrity Babies, Photos
Jessica Alba has advised Beyonce Knowles to sell the first pictures of newborn daughter Ivy Blue.
The stunning actress and her husband Cash Warren reportedly received $1.5 million from OK! magazine for the first images of their daughter, Honor, in 2008, and she thinks Beyonce and spouse Jay-Z should do the same with their new addition.
"For our family, we just wanted to control the experience. We put the money that the picture made into a bank account for Honor to do whatever she wants to do with. It's her picture, it's her birth, and we didn't want it to be like a weird thing when we were walking out of the house for the first time. If there's a price tag on your child - which is so bizarre - people will go to crazy lengths. We wanted to avoid that hysteria," she said.
Jessica - who welcomed second daughter, Haven, into the world last August - said she really enjoyed the photo shoot and would definitely recommend it: "We were friends with the photographer. It was just a nice day in the house. We'll have those beautiful pictures forever. You can give the money to charity and to your baby and that's it. But the biggest thing is having a healthy baby ... I'm sure Beyonce will make the best decision for her family."

Beyonce Knowles pregnant
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Pregnancies, Red Carpet, Videos, Breaking News
Beyonce Knowles is pregnant. The singer arrived at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) last night in a loose fitting orange dress, and clutched her visible baby bump as she posed on the red carpet. She told the press: "I have a surprise!" Beyonce's publicist later confirmed the news, telling People.com: "I'm happy to say it's true." The child will be the first for the 29-year-old and her husband, rapper Jay-Z, who married in 2008. During the VMAs Beyonce first cheered on Jay from the side of the stage as he performed new single 'Otis' with Kanye West, then wowed the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles herself, singing 'Love on Top'. She told the crowd: "I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me." As she sung, Beyonce proudly rubbed her bump, and the cameras panned over to Jay-Z, who had a huge grin on his face. The performance was met with a standing ovation. Beyonce has recently hinted she was thinking of settling down, saying earlier this month how she was hoping to "dedicate herself" to having children. She said: "When you're young - 18 or 19 - you have the energy and drive. That's the time to work as hard as you can. "Now I'm a woman, and because I gave it my all, I can focus on my marriage. I can decide I want to have kids. I can be the mother I want to be and dedicate myself to my children."

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television
Dianna Agron, who is best-known for playing cheerleader Quinn Fabray on Glee, recently told Jimmy Kimmel about “the most fabulous bathroom party ever!” The Grammys are so much fun, even going to the bathroom is interesting.
Agron and Glee co-star Kevin McHale (he plays Artie) “kind of weasled our way into meeting Beyonce.” The singer was standing next to Glee guest star Gwyneth Paltrow, which Agron saw as “kind of an ‘in.’” The two said "hello" to Paltrow and winded up meeting Beyonce as a result -- but, that was just the beginning.
After the Grammy Awards, Agron and her fellow Glee clubbers went to an after-party which Beyonce also attended. All the girls from Glee, Gwyneth and Beyonce found themselves in the bathroom, hence the fun party.
“She was so nice,” Dianna Agron said of the superstar, adding, “Beyonce is like us, she eats mints!”
