Beyoncé celebrates B'Day Beyoncé celebrated her 35th birthday in style with a lavish Soul Train themed party. In attendance were Alicia Keys, Swizz Beats, Cassie, Diddy, Kelly Rowland, Solange, LaLa & Carmelo Anthony and of course Jay-Z and Blue Ivy. There were plenty of pictures posted on social media that featured everyone in 70s get ups.  Damon Dash is calling out Beyoncé & Jay Z for not defending his ex-wife Rachel Roy during the whole Becky debacle. When "Lemonade" was released in April, Rachel Roy posted a shady Instagram post leading many to believe that she was the "Becky" that Beyoncé spoke about in her song, "Sorry". The rumor was never confirmed by Beyoncé. I did read that someone said that "Becky" is in fact Beyoncé and not any of the aforementioned women. Karlie Redd of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" fame is reportedly back with her old boo, Yung Joc(who also stars on the show) and Karlie is also facing...

Beyoncé is said to be starting her own educational TV network; should be interesting! And Rachel Roy(aka "Becky with the good hair) is blaming the Beyhive for hacking into her e-mail and iCloud accounts. She says her phone number was also changed without her knowledge. Do you believe the Beyhive is responsible for such a thing? Perhaps! And Frank Ocean is said to finally release his long awaited album, "Boys Don't Cry" on August 5. The singer previewed a video stream on his website complete with snippets but they still leave a lot to the imagination. It's being said that there will be a video released on August 5 and the accompanying album is said to be an iTunes exclusive for the first two weeks of release. Frank Ocean recently hinted that his album would release in July but July has come and gone so let's see if this August 5th date sticks. *fingers crossed* I read that Iggy Azalea owes back taxes then again what celebrity doesn't these days. What hap...

Rihanna News: Tinashe is mad!!! The singer took to social media and disclosed that her album, "Joyride" which was set to be released in the coming weeks is not being ripped apart. The title track was given to Rihanna and will be included in a rumored "Anti" re-release. Tinashe took a jab at Beyoncé claiming she was the first to use an inspired makeup idea that Bey debuted in the video for "Sorry". Sounds like its been a bad week for Tinashe or should I say a bad last week. If that ain't enough, Chris Brown blasted her after she spoke out against him for disrespecting Kehlani. Oh shucks! Stuff like this happens all the time. Songs are passed around left and right in the industry. So good luck to Tinashe though. Maybe she should go independent. What do you think? And more on the whole Beyoncé debacle. It is being reported that Rachel Roy is indeed "Becky" and that's what Beyoncé allegedly referred to her all along. During the infamous fi...

More Beyoncé news: "Lemonade", the physical album and DVD package will be available in Target on May 6!!! "Lemonade" is on track to sale 600 thousand copies in its full first week which will give it the coveted #1 spot on Billboard. "Lemonade" will mark Beyoncé's 6th #1 album on the Billboard 200 Album chart. First single, "Formation" is the #1 song on iTunes! In the wake of the "Becky-gate", Rita Ora has came out and denied any wrong doing when it comes to Beyoncé and Jay-Z's relationship. But it looks like Rita Ora is taunting Bey as well. She has been seen on social media adorning the same dresses that Bey has wore and even bras with lemonades on it. Many think this is simply a marketing scheme and everyone's in on it. Rachel Roy, who was said to be the original Becky denies being Becky. On a much lighter note, "Full House" alum actress, Lori Loughlin who plays "Becky" said she's not Becky eithe...

Shortly after "Lemonade" aired, people began to speculate who exactly Beyoncé was referring to when she sung "Becky with the good hair". Well everyone didn't have to wonder for long because Damon Dash's ex-wife, Rachel Roy started shading Beyoncé with the song reference which led many to believe she was the woman responsible for Jay-Z's infidelity. Soon the #Beyhive began attacking Rachel Roy and her daughter on social media. Rachel issued a statement saying that she respects marriage and wouldn't do such a thing to ruin the union of a marriage. Apparently the #Beyhive was not buying this and soon Rachel Roy deleted her social media page altogether after making it private briefly. Not content on resting, the #Beyhive formed together and came up with the fact that "Becky" may indeed be former Roc Nation artist, Rita Ora(l), which wouldn't surprise me if it were true. Rita has been around in the industry but has she banged Jay-Z? Who k...
