The diva of this time has certainly earned her title.

With 10 Grammy nominations, starlet Beyonce has successfully matched the record for most nominations for a female artist in a single year. The other holder of this title is long-time crooner and Fugees Lauryn Hill. In 1999, Hill received 10 Grammy nominations for her solo album, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.”

The majority of Beyonce’s nominations stem from the hit album, “I am… Sasha Fierce,” with the exception of her work on the Cadillac Records soundtrack for her portrayal of the Etta James hit, “At Last.” Beyonce also performed this song in Obama’s honor as he was named President of the United States. She played James character in the film, and was celebrated for his dramatic performance.

The singer, and wife of iconic rap artist Jay-Z, will compete with both Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift who have also been nominated for the same three awards.

R&B artist Lauryn Hill is expecting her fifth child.

The father is her on-again, off-again (currently off-again) boyfriend Rohan Marley. This will be Marley’s eighth child.

The couple are supposedly broken up, as Hill is living in LA and Marley is in Ethiopia.

32-year-old Hill, a former member of The Fugees, has been making headlines lately for her nasty attitude and feud with her old band members – one of whom, Pras, has called her “bi-polar.”

At a concert in July, Hill demanded that none of her security guards walk by her, look at her or speak to her without being spoken to first. Allegedly, one guard broke this last rule and Hill flipped, throwing water bottles at him.

John Legend’s dream came true, as he has released a song with Lauryn Hill.

Legend met Hill when he played piano on her breakout track “Everything is Everything,” but their voices had never been recorded together until he released a remix of “So High” last week.

Hill raps for about a minute to start the song, then she alternates singing verses with Legend.

This is Hill’s first recorded material since her MTV Unplugged album in 2002.

She has been working on a new album for several months. No release date has been set.

Legend also released a video for “So High” this week, without Hill.
