Anti-Valentines 15-Song Playlist

Posted by @coltondaniel on February 11th, 2012

As the holiest day of chocolate and flowers approaches, we thought we’d help those in need with a playlist of some of the greatest break-up or heartbreak songs of all time.

Almost every song on the radio seems to be about love, right? It’s the time of the year when the lonely feel loneliest and it seems like everyone else is playing tonsil-hockey, smiling and you have nothing except a Ryan Gosling marathon and a tub of Ben and Jerrys waiting at home. Well, we can’t do anything about that – but we can provide a melancholy soundtrack of some of the saddest songs of all time. We’ll venture into the 80s with some Joy Division, Springsteen, U2 and Pat Benetar while visiting ballads from modern artists like Cee-Lo, Beyonce and of course – Adele.

Enjoy wisely. Stare out your window at the falling rain if you have to.

Beyonce and Jay-Z Released Photos of Blue Ivy Carter

Posted by @coltondaniel on February 10th, 2012

Beyonce and Jay-Z have released the first photos of their baby, Blue Ivy Carter via their personal Tumbler account, helloblueivy with the following message:

“We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy at this time in our lives.
-The Carter Family.”

How hip of the hippest couple in hip-hop to go about this route rather than sell the photos to a glossy magazine. Behold, Blue Ivy Carter…

Jay-Z and Beyonce Plan To Trademark ‘Blue Ivy’

Posted by Natalia Buia on February 9th, 2012

How does that saying go again? If you like it when you should have put a trademark on it?

It appears new parents Jay-Z and Beyonce are going to brand their new daughter’s name. Not for prosperity but for products.

E! Online reports the two were spotted filing paperwork with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office on Janaury 26. They want to take ownership of their daughter’s name if any opportunist wants to make money off of it. For instance, I can’t come out with a line of baby formula called “Blue Ivy” anymore, unless I want to get sued for millions.

Apparently any parent, whether they’re famous or not, can trademark their child’s name while they’re still a minor. It just takes a lot of paperwork.

Beyonce Could Get Her Own Monument in Houston, Texas

Posted by Natalia Buia on January 31st, 2012

It appears the San Jacinto Monument isn’t enough to draw in tourists to Houston, Texas. Perhaps a Beyonce monument would do the trick.

Perez Hilton reports two men from Armdeonce Ventures are currently seeking out private donors in order to build a monument for the breakout Destiny’s Child star.

Marcus Mitchell, one half of Team Beyonce Monument says she’s the number one performer from Houston and it’s only fair that the city acknowledges her successful music career.

“We wanted to construct a massive hall…if you donated to the monument, you’ll have a separate nameplate. There will be clips of Beyonce with Destiny’s Child and wardrobe like a mini museum.”

It seems a little premature to honour the 30-year-old R&B singer, but if Detroit could put up a statue of Robocop, Houston should be able to do the same with Beyonce.

Jay-Z and Beyonce Chose Oprah As Their Baby’s Godmother

Posted by Natalia Buia on January 25th, 2012

Many were in the race to become America’s Next Top Godmother. Beyonce and Jay-Z had a hefty list to choose from.

Gwyneth Paltrow could have been that intellectually stimulating godmother that teaches the kid about veganism and yoga. Kelly Rowland (remember her from Destiny’s Child?) could have been the stylish godmother, taking the kid shopping on Rodeo Drive.

According to Media Takeout, the new parents have picked Oprah as Blue Ivy’s godmother. This is a reasonable selection because doesn’t Oprah feel like she’s everybody’s godmother? Jay-Z’s close friend Tyran Smith is the godfather but he’s obviously eclipsed by the Lord and saviour that is Oprah.

This further proves that Blue Ivy Carter will rule the world when she turns 18.

Scientists Name Fly After Beyonce

Posted by Natalia Buia on January 13th, 2012

Here’s another post to remind you of all the things in the world Beyonce has that you never will.

The Huffington Post says an Australian taxonomists (one that studies bugs) recently discovered a rare type of horse fly and of course, he had to name it after Queen B, Beyonce.

“It was the unique dense golden hairs on the fly’s abdomen that led me to name this fly in honor of the performer,” Bryan Lessard told the media.

Other celebrites that have been named after creepy crawlies include Neil Young, member of the Rolling Stones and Bill Gates.

The Latest Internet Meme: Jay-Z’s face on a baby’s body

Posted by Natalia Buia on January 13th, 2012

Ever since King Jay and Queen B gave birth to their first child this past weekend, everyone’s curious to see what their baby girl looks like and more importantly, how hot she’ll grow to be at the age of 18.

Normally, when celebrities have babies, they go into hiding for a few weeks until we spot their photo on the cover of People Magazine as we’re paying for our groceries. Those kind of magazine covers always gets the new parents millions of dollars.

While we wait for the day Blue Ivy Carter graces the cover of tabloid magazines, we can only imagine what she’d look like with the latest meme in cyberspace: photoshopping Jay-Z’s head on a baby’s body. 20 years from now Blue Ivy will look at this and laugh. Either that or run away in embarrassment.

People Think Blue Ivy Carter is the Spawn of Satan

Posted by @jordans_life on January 10th, 2012


Buzzfeed
 has compiled a list of 25 people who have taken to various social media sites to propagate the theory that Jay-Z and Beyonce’s new baby girl is the antichrist.

Most people on this hysterical list of idiots believe that the name Blue is an acronym for “Born Living Under Evil.” Many are calling her a “demon baby”, convinced that the child (actually named after Jay-Z’s “The Blueprint” album and the roman numeral IV) is bad news.

Some have even gone further with their hypothesis claiming the name backwards (Eulb Yvi) is the latin name for Satan’s female daughter. Fortunately for the Carter family, there’s no mention of Eulb Yvi in the bible at all and most reports are denying any such character exists.

This is by far the most irrational theory of 2012 so far but it’s still so early in the year. If you consume enough narcotics, however, anything is possible. It reminds me of the conspiracy theories surrounding Paul McCartney’s supposed death based on the Abby Road album cover. Or another crackpot belief that if you play “Stairway To Heaven” backwards it reveals satanic messages.

We’ll soon discover whether or not Blue Ivy is the devil once the couple leak expensive photos to a tabloid magazine. If Blue’s rocking red eyes and breathing out fire, then yes, maybe those 25 people were right. Incase you were wondering, we saved you the time and checked the Google translation below (it means nothing).

Hear Jay-Z’s New Song ‘Glory’, Written For Newborn Daughter

Posted by @coltondaniel on January 9th, 2012

As you might have overheard – Hova is officially a big poppa. Beyonce gave birth to a baby girl named Blue Ivy Carter this past Saturday.

Being the only family member with a last name, the proud father celebrated by penning a new song on his lifestyle website Life + Times. The track is called “Glory” (Ft. B.I.C.), which likely stands for her given name and her subtle participation is featured at the end of the song.

Produced by Pharell, the song is bare-boned and direct as he reveals that he and Beyonce have tried making a baby before: ”Last time the miscarriage was tragic / We was afraid you’d disappear but nah baby you’re magic.”

He goes on to express joy over his “greatest creation” that he rhapsodizes to be “the child of destiny / you’re my child with the child from Destiny’s child”

This song is a great follow-up to the Throne’s fatherhood declarations in “New Day”. Get that kleenex ready and listen to “Glory” below.

Also, you can’t argue how funny thing photo we found on Tumblr is:

Man Stabbed for Not Knowing Jay-Z and Beyonce Were Married

Posted by andPOP Staff on January 5th, 2012

Some people take their music very serious – sometimes too serious. An Ohio man has been stabbed for not knowing that Jay-Z and Beyonce were married.

Donald Deaver was arrested and charged with felonious assault for allegedly stabbing a 48-year-old Garfield Heights, Ohip man following an argument.

Fox 8 reports the fight began because the victim did not know that singer Beyonce’s husband is rapper Jay-Z. The incident occurred around 11:00 p.m. on December 31, 2011, outside Deaver’s apartment.

This story is both very funny and sad….

Adele Tweets After Surgery

Posted by Natalia Buia on December 6th, 2011

She may not be able to speak but damn, can Adele tweet!

The singer, who now has the highest ever selling album in England, promises to tweet more, according to Perez Hilton.

Adele has one of the greatest voices of the century, and it’s not just when she sings. Her bubbly British accent really makes my heart swoon. I already miss the sound of her voice but I’m glad that she’s going to be interacting with fans via Twitter more often now. She says if the clean water initiative she works for, Drop4Drop got 10, 000 followers.

The ginger diva recently posted a photo of herself posing next to a large Beyonce magazine cover. She wrote, “F*ck me that was quick!ThankU! I’m in bed,watchin Gladiator,eatin an apple. Heres a pic of me&Queen B last wk in NYC!X”

Adele looks like a knockout for someone that just underwent surgery. If she heels in time, she may be able to appear and performance at the 2012 Grammys in February.

Beyonce Talks About Her Pregnancy Cravings

Posted by Natalia Buia on December 1st, 2011

As mentioned earlier this week, “20/20″ plans to air their exclusive interview with the hit-maker Beyonce this Friday night.

The Queen B squashes all those stereotypes about pregnancy cravings with interviewer Katie Couric, as reported by MTV. She denies eating everything with ketchup on it. She basically does not eat the things most blogs make up on the internet.

“I was on a plane and the flight attendant came and was like, ‘I have your hot sauce and pickles and bananas.’ I was like, ‘That is absolutely disgusting, what are you doing?’ He’s like, ‘I read it on the Internet,’” she told Katie.

So, we probably shouldn’t see any candid shots of Beyonce eating a bucket of chicken wings, pickles or donuts until her baby’s born. It seems she’s continuing to eat very healthy.

Jay-Z, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and Maroon 5 Perform at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 30th, 2011

Over 100 million people watch the Superbowl every year and when it comes to the lingerie of superbowls, over ten million people tune in to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Last night’s show raked in the highest ratings since 2002, the Hollywood Reporter says. The show certainly got some help from the hottest rappers around the most expensive bra ever (Miranda Kerr rocked a $2.5 million dollar bra).

Jay-Z and Kanye performed “N*ggas in Paris” while a a pregnant Beyonce got to throw her diamond-filled hands in the air, waving them around like she just didn’t care. Check out the video below.

Kanye later performed his 2007 hit “Stronger”.

Nicki Minaj brightened up the stage by popping by to sing “Super Bass”.

Last but not least, Maroon 5 performed “Moves Like Jagger” without Christina Aguilera. Lead singer Adam Levine certainly didn’t miss her since he seemed incredibly distracted by his girlfriend, Victoria’s Secret model Anne Vyalitsyna. He even escorted her down the runway and planted a big kiss on her. It’s so cute, I want to throw up.

Beyonce’s New Video “Dance For You”

Posted by @coltondaniel on November 26th, 2011


Beyonce’s “Dance For You” video goes to show what a powerhouse she is – entirely makes us forget that she’s pregnant.

The latest cut from her album 4 will be featured in the deluxe edition of B’s “Live at Roseland” DVD, which drops on Tuesday, November 29th.

“The whole time I definitely was thinking, ‘Everyone knows, everyone can see,’” said the Grammy-winner before the screening of her new concert this past Sunday in New York.

“When you’re pregnant, it’s a little bit harder to breathe, so it was hard doing all the choreography and singing at the same time,” said the 30-year-old singer in an onstage interview, who admitted it became very difficult to hide while recording the four sold-out nights in at Roseland Theatre in August.

From Destiny’s Child classics to major hits from her solo career before launching into 4 in it’s entirety. It will also include intimate interviews, home videos of rehearsals and clips of Beyonce in a wedding dress.

In this the-Dream produced cut, the sultry R&B jam has her showing her gratitude in the form of a seductive dance sequence. The black-and-white clip is reminiscent of a private-eye/detective classic that could easily be a Victoria Secret product placement.

Jay-Z and Beyonce’s Baby Will Have Leather Diapers

Posted by andPOP Staff on November 20th, 2011

Do you really think that Jay-Z and Beyonce’s baby would have standard Huggies diapers? No way! In an interview with People, Jay-Z shrugged off the notion of solid-gold diapers. “No, leather!” he joked.

During the interview, Jay-Z also opened up about his relationship with his father who abandoned him and his family when he was 11 years old.

“It makes me a little paranoid because no matter what, I don’t think any person, or any male, goes into a relationship thinking that they’re going to leave or wouldn’t be there,” he says. But, “I’m just a different kind of guy. I’m a highly principled person. I come from a real place where you had to be a highly principled person, so, I’m pretty confident that I’ll figure it out.”
