Jay-Z and Beyoncé Accidentally Offended
Published On: Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009 with 0 Comments

Who doesn’t love music’s crowning couple Beyonce and Jay-Z? Well, apparently some of their friends didn’t after the couple wed. Us Weekly reports that Jay-Z tells O Magazine that he and Beyonce’s small wedding offended some friends who weren’t invited.

The couple wed in a very small ceremony in Jay-Z’s NYC apartment with “very few” close friends and family. “The sad part is that we offended some,” he said of not inviting a lot of friends. “But people who love you understand. Because at the end of the day, it’s your day.” I think those friends eventually forgot about the offense though as Beyonce and Jay-Z threw a huge party afterward to celebrate.

Beyonce On Wedding Pictures Offers: ‘Ridiculous!’
Published On: Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 with 4 Comments

Beyonce insists she would have never considered selling photos of her hush-hush wedding to Jay-Z to a glossy celebrity magazine. Still, the singer acknowledges that she was amazed at the amount of money that was offered.

“Now, they offer crazy money that’s just ridiculous,” she said in a recent interview, laughing. “But in the end, absolutely not. It’s so not worth it. If anything, if you wanna put something out, then put it out, not for (money).”

Beyonce and Jay-Z were married in April in an intimate ceremony in New York City.

“We worked really hard at keeping it private,” she said. “I’ve always been this way, and he’s always been this way, so that’s why we complement each other. We always knew that it would be private and quiet, for all the right reasons.”

Though Beyonce declined to talk about specific details, she’s been more open to acknowledging her relationship in recent interviews after years of silence about it.

She’s due to release her new CD, “I AM … SASHA FIERCE,” on Nov. 18. MySpace Music is giving listeners worldwide the first official preview of the CD on its Web site starting 3 a.m. EST Tuesday. The 27-year-old singer joins the list of other musicians who provide fans with an online preview of the CD in the days before its release.

B Speaks Out About the Marriage
Published On: Tuesday, May 20th, 2008 with 5 Comments

Superstar couple BEYONCE KNOWLES and JAY-Z refused to tell the world about their marriage – because they want to keep their relationship free of “tabloid drama”.
The Crazy In Love star wed rapper Jay-Z on 4 April in New York, although neither of the newlyweds spoke out to confirm the happy news – until now.
And Knowles insists her reluctance to share details of their nuptials stems from their desire to steer clear of media scrutiny.
She says, “I don’t deny it (the wedding). I just don’t talk about it. We’ve never talked about us and it’s kind of protected our relationship. I think it’s kept us out of tabloid drama.
“A lot of actresses that have had successful relationships don’t talk about them, so neither do I.”

Peta praise Beyonce
Published On: Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 with 15 Comments

The singer was once near the top of PETA’s ‘hitlist’ because of frequent sightings of her wearing fur coats.
A member even won an auction to have lunch with her, only to confront her with video footage showing animals being skinned for fur.
But the group has decided Knowles is now fur-free – and sent her a fake fur throw as a wedding present to mark her marriage to Jay-Z last week (ends4Apr08).
The accompanying note reads,

“From all of us at PETA, we wish you much happiness in your life together. Please accept this faux-fur throw with many good wishes and a hope from us that together, you’ll be a fur-free couple!”

PETA Vice President Lisa Lange says, “Celebrities know that the easiest way to keep PETA off their backs is by keeping fur off their backs. Time will tell if Beyonce is truly committed to being fur-free, but all indications are that she’s become a real ‘dreamgirl’ for fur-bearing animals.”

People – Beyonce & Jay-Z Are Married
Published On: Friday, April 4th, 2008 with 33 Comments

After years of speculation, singer Beyoncé Knowles wed her longtime boyfriend, rapper Jay-Z, on Friday, a friend of the couple tells PEOPLE.

Though there is no official confirmation, the friend says, “It happened earlier this evening. Jay wanted it to be a really private affair – close friends and family.”

The ceremony was followed by a lavish party at the rapper’s Tribeca apartment that drew BeyoncĂ©’s mother Tina Knowles, her father/manager Mathew, her sister Solange, her Destiny’s Child mates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and the couple’s friend Gwyneth Paltrow.

The wedding buzz began when the couple went to get a marriage license at a village hall in Scarsdale, N.Y., on Tuesday.

DJ Cassidy, a favorite of Jay-Z, was hired to spin – and the gig was no bar mitzvah. “Cassidy mentioned a week ago that he was really excited for the Jay Z and BeyoncĂ©’s wedding party to happen,” says the friend.

Early Friday morning, workers erected a white tent atop the building in Tribeca, where Jay-Z owns a penthouse apartment. Not long after, an SUV carrying what seemed to be AV equipment arrived, followed by deliveries of party rentals and flowers.

A source tells PEOPLE that Amy’s Orchids was hired to provide 50,000 to 60,000 white orchid blooms from Thailand for a “big party.” At the apartment, waiters were seen practicing their service.

A couple since 2002, Jay-Z, 38, and Knowles, 26, always kept quiet about their relationship, even as they were photographed together on romantic holidays around the world.

Still, marriage seemed to be in the cards – eventually. “I never pictured myself as a bride,” she told Cosmopolitan in January 2006, “but after my sister’s wedding, I did start thinking about what kind of wedding I’d want. I don’t think I want a big one.”
