In a time of Beyonce bombshells we’ve been receiving news updates on a daily basis. Whether it’s tickets to concerts, Jay-Z participating in Beyonce’s pregnancy diet, Beyonce’s “huge” loss on the Miami beachfront cabana she sold, or the fact that she recently announced her desire to have a big family, everyone is eating up the news about Beyonce Knowles. The revelation that rapper Jay-Z will be joining Beyonce on her diet was met with applause from fans. After all, the partially vegan high-energy regime would help him keep up with his pregnant partner’s various demands. The two have been spotted recently “dancing up a storm” according to observers, sometimes until well into the early hours of the morning.
The beachfront cabana story had the gossips frothing at the mouth, as Beyonce lost 75% of the original price of the Miami cabana. She paid $465,000 on the small structure in 2002, but in these trying financial times was forced to sell it for a mere $110,000 – a trifle for a megastar like Beyonce. The asking price was a modest $135,000, so perhaps she wasn’t too disappointed. It’s still a heck of an ask for a 190 square foot room with just a half bath and very little else!
Even before she’s birthed her first, Beyonce has already announced that she plans to have a big family. “I have always said that I want to have all my children by the time I am 40,” the 30-year old singer said. That leaves 10 years for her to produce her full quota, so who knows how many kids the R&B diva will have!
Once Beyonce has given birth, the big question is how long will it be before we get to see another Beyonce concert tour? The superstar, who has appeared in film and on stage, including Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) and Dreamgirls (2006), as well as a string of hugely successful tours like “The Beyonce Experience”, the “I AmÖ Tour” and her earlier “Dangerously in Love Tour”, from 2003.
The year’s most eagerly-awaited hip-hop album was released this week. Watch the Throne, the collaborative effort by Jay-Z and Kanye West had its exclusive distribution release on iTunes Monday morning. With it, a track titled “Lift Off” premiered – featuring a chorus sung by Beyonce. The song features production credits by Kanye West, Jeff Bhasker, and co-production by Pharrell. Take a listen to the track below, and purchase a copy of Watch the Throne on iTunes.
Beyonce made an appearance last night at the listening party for Jay-Z and Kanye West’s joint album Watch the Throne. The singer met up with friend Kelly Rowland as the party featuring other guests like Pusha T and Jada Pinkett-Smith was able to hear the entire album before its release.
Before the album began to play at the Hayden Planetarium over a light show with “orbiting planets, shooting stars, and black holes.” Beyonce is featured on “Lift Off,” the 2nd title in the album track listing. Watch the Throne is set to be released on August 12th, with an early pre-release scheduled to hit iTunes on August 8th. Read below to view photos from the event. Read More!
Beyonce is slated to be featured on Jay-Z/Kanye West’s joint venture, Watch the Throne. On the album, Beyonce will sing the chorus during the track “Liftoff”:
If “Liftoff” isn’t a chart hit within the next year, I’ll be surprised. Jay-Z and Kanye get downright triumphal over synthesized fanfare à la West’s “All of the Lights,” and Beyoncé’s anthemic hook is the type of thing that makes radio programmers go weak in the knees. Huge. – Rolling Stone
During the listening party held by Jay-Z, he told journalists – including Rolling Stone – that all songs are only tentatively titled, and lyrics could be changed by release. Watch the Throne has no release date as of yet. But Jay left the party with: “Not far away. Soon.”
