Beyonce Knowles: I love sexy stilettos and a dress to get Jay-Z in the mood

2011-03-07T19:44:00.000-08:00

Beyonce Knowles knows how to get her man going.

The pop superstar started dating her rapper husband Jay-Z since 2002, but she's got a few tricks up her sleeve to stop things going stale.

'Put on good music and something that makes you feel great,' says Beyonce, 29.

'I love a pair of high, sexy stilettos with a beautiful dress.

'But you have to find out what works for you - whether it's doing the whole smoky eyes thing or a natural look.

'Mix it up, surprise him, change your hair.

'Be the woman he knows with a little bit of a twist.'

Bootylicious Beyonce may be one half of celebrity's No 1 super-couple and have a figure that's the envy of women the world over, but even she gets insecure about her body sometimes.

'I've learnt to accept what I have and work on those areas I can change,' she tells Cosmopolitan.

'I love my butter pecan ice cream but I also love to work out.

'We all have our issues.

'Mine is arms and

legs, keeping them tight and toned.

'It takes work, believe me, but I do believe in putting in that work.'

Beyonce Knowles wanted to “run off the stage”

2010-02-21T06:48:00.001-08:00

The singer won six awards at this year’s ceremony and admits she couldn’t believe what she had said. Beyonce and Jay-Z married in a private ceremony in April 2008 and are notoriously private about their relationship.

“I wanted to run off the stage. Like, ‘What did I just say?’ He was shocked like, ‘What are we doing? What are you doing?’ but it was just a genuine moment and I looked in the audience and I saw my nephew and I saw my cousin Angie and I saw him… and it’s the first thing that came to my mouth,” she said on Tyra Banks’ talk show.

“I didn’t think about it, it just came out. After I walked off the stage I just bawled because that’s when I realised what just happened to me and everything I have been working for my whole life, it paid off that night.”

Beyonce is renowned for her work ethic but is now ready to take some time off from work to be with Jay-Z. The star also spoke about how excited she was to collaborate with her musical peers Lady Gaga and Alicia Keys.

I’m ready to take some time off. I am going to Brazil to film a video with Alicia Keys. I’m so excited to work with women,” she said.

Beyonce has moved on from Rio to Buenos Aires where yesterday she was spotted relaxing in her bikini and cover-up by the Hotel Faena's pool.

Alicia didn't stick around South America as she was off to join Beyonce's husband Jay-Z at Tuesday's Brit Awards.

Beyonce won't be lingering long herself, since she's scheduled to perform this evening in Trinidad.

Beyonce named top artist of the decade

2010-02-21T06:03:00.000-08:00

R&B star Beyonce Knowles has emerged as the most successful musician of this century's first decade in America in a new list.

Compiled by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the list has the 'Single Ladies' singer topping both the albums and video certifications and ringtone certifications countdown.

The 28-year-old star has landed 64 gold and platinum certifications for sales of albums and videos and a further 19 for ringtones, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Eagles came out to be the topper among all music groups with 48 total gold and platinum awards, while pop icon Michael Jackson led the male solo artists' list with 44.

Gold awards are presented for sales of 500,000 albums, digital songs or ringtones, and platinums are handed out to artists who pass the one million mark.

Beyonce flaunts her figure in a barely-there leotard at gig in Port of Spain, Trinidad

2010-02-21T05:59:00.000-08:00

She's been on the road for what seems like years - so it's little wonder some of Beyonce's outfits are wearing away.

That can be the only explanation for the barely-there leotard she wore at her gig in Port of Spain, Trinidad.

Still, the crowd - on the final show of her world tour - didn't seem to mind.

Touring Bey missed out on accompanying husband Jay-Z to the Brits last week as he won best international male artist.

Mmm, the poor lass probably had nothing to wear anyway.

Beyoncé's six Grammys a record-breaking haul

2010-02-21T05:56:00.000-08:00

LOS ANGELES–The 52nd Grammy Awards belonged to Beyoncé as the singer smashed the record for most trophies by a female artist in a single night.

The 28-year-old picked up a record six prizes Sunday, owning a ceremony in which a group of young artists helped put a fresh face on the greying Grammys.

"Wow, thank you so much," Beyoncé said as she took the stage to claim her award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

"I'm sorry, I'm nervous. I'd love to thank my family for all their support, including my husband, I love you. And I'd like to thank all of my fans for all of their support over the years, goodnight, thank you."

Beyonce Is America's Golden And Platinum Girl

2010-02-21T05:51:00.000-08:00

BEYONCE has landed another major accolade - she has been named the most successful musician of the new century's first decade in America.

Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) bosses have released their decade list of the bestselling artists and Grammy Award record breaker Beyonce tops both the albums and video certifications and ringtone certifications countdown.

She landed 64 gold and platinum certifications for sales of albums and videos and a further 19 for ringtones.

The Eagles topped all other groups in total gold and platinum awards with 48, while the late Michael Jackson led male solo artists with 44, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Three albums tied for the decades highest certification at 11-times platinum: 'N Sync's No Strings Attached, Shania Twain's Up! and Outkast's 2003 double Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.

Gold awards are presented for sales of 500,000 albums, digital songs or ringtones, and platinums are handed out to artists who pass the one million mark. Each multi-platinum award is counted as a separate certification. A music video goes gold at 25,000 units, platinum at 50,000 and multi-platinum for every 50,000 units after that.

Beyonce’s undies spark lawsuit

2010-02-21T05:45:00.000-08:00

Sony Music bosses are fighting legal action from underwear manufacturer Triumph amid accusations Beyonce’s lingerie in her Video Phone promo is a direct copy of one of their designs.

The R&B superstar dons a black and white two-piece in one scene in the music video, which also features Lady GaGa, complete with matching bracelets and sunglasses.

Triumph executives took issue with the outfit, alleging it bared striking similarities to their creation by Bulgarian designer Iskren Lozanov, and filed suit against Sony for copyright infringement earlier this year.

Lawyers for Sony argued Beyonce's underwear had been inspired by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, but a judge recently dismissed their claim, ruling in Triumph's favour because Lozanov's design was so unique.

Bosses at the record label have consulted with the Halo hitmaker and are now preparing to file legal papers to appeal the decision.

Before Seeing 'Shutter Island,' Prepare With Hits By Beyoncé And Metallica

2010-02-21T05:42:00.000-08:00

It's an exciting day for movies, as today marks the long-awaited release of "Shutter Island," the latest collaboration between director Martin Scorsese and superstar actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Unlike the duo's previous tag-team efforts (2002's bloody American history film "Gangs of New York," the 2004 Howard Hughes biopic "The Aviator" and the Oscar-winning crime drama "The Departed"), "Shutter Island" is an old-school thriller with plenty of elements of psychological horror thrown in for good measure.

Based on a Dennis Lehane novel, "Shutter Island" tells the story of Teddy Daniels, a police detective investigating the strange disappearance of a patient at a prison for the criminally insane. The movie's tense tone and twisty plot make for a spectacular piece of psychological cinema, which means that you'll need a bit of preparation before taking it on. That's why we've put together a video playlist inspired by "Shutter Island," featuring tracks and videos that tap into the spookiness of the film. Since the film takes place in Massachusetts, you have to begin with some Dropkick Murphys ("I'm Shipping Up to Boston," a song that has premiered in past Scorsese efforts), followed by a healthy dose of fright-inducing metal (Mercyful Fate's "Nightmare by thy Name," Metallica's "All Nightmare Long," Sworn Enemy's "Scared of the Unknown").

But it's not just riffs and screams, either. There are explorations into the subconscious (Blondie's "Dreaming," The Material's "The Truth About Reality"), unexplained phenomena (The Faint's "Disappear") and the nature of confinement (The Receiving End of Sirens' "Planning a Prison Break").

Beyonce Tricked Mum With Fake Nose-Stud

2010-02-21T05:37:00.000-08:00

Beyonce was a mischievous teen, and once tricked her mum into thinking she had her nose pierced.

Knowles family matriarch Tina Knowles banned her daughter from having her ears and nose pierced, but Beyonce was desperate to wear jewellery in her ears - so she had them pierced and then wore a fake nose-stud, to deflect attention from her newly-bejewelled lobes. And the deception worked.

"She was so happy when I told her it was just a magnet that she didn't care about the earrings! But the singer is convinced she experienced instant karma for tricking her mum "

Beyonce tells Angry Ape, "When I was a teenager, I had five piercings in each ear. I didn't ask my mother's permission and I thought, 'She's gonna kill me', so I got a magnetic stud and put it in my nose. "My mum freaked when she saw it.

She was so happy when I told her it was just a magnet that she didn't care about the earrings!" But the singer is convinced she experienced instant karma for tricking her mum. She adds, "I did pay for it.

Beyonce ‘Palances’ In Trinidad And Tobago

2010-02-21T05:32:00.000-08:00

Beyonce was spotted dancing up a storm in Trinidad and Tobago recently. The singer concluded her ‘I Am…’ world tour in Trinidad’s capital city, Port of Spain, and held the show’s after party at the infamous Zen nightclub. Beyonce joined the crowd and partied to what seems to be her favourite local song ‘Palance’ by Bionic Blaze and JW, which she also remixed during a tour performance of ‘Check On It’. The song recently won Trinidad and Tobago Carnival’s Road March title for being the most played song during the nation’s annual Parade of the Bands competition.

It looks like Beyonce, who is still in Trinidad, has joined the extensive list of celebrities, including Jay-Z, that have fallen in love with my country. Soca is one of the most fast-paced yet addictive genres of music. Add that to Trinidadians’ ability to party harder than any other culture in the world, and it’s a completely intoxicating combination. My country’s Carnival is the largest of it’s kind and has inspired similar events around the globe including the West Indian parade during New York’ Labour Day and London’s Notting Hill Carnival.With Janet Jackson experimenting with Soca music on her new album, I have no doubt that Beyonce will do the same as she seems completely enticed by the flare of the genre. If you think that ‘Single Ladies’ was a fast song, “you ain’t seen nothing yet!”

Smelly situation for Beyonce

2009-10-02T18:28:00.000-07:00

Beyonce is being sued by apparel retailer Abercrombie & Fitch . Attorneys for the clothing retailer, known for its steamy shots of scantily clad models, claim B’s plan for a new fragrance to be launched early next year infringes on its existing trademark. In a federal lawsuit filed last week in Columbus, Ohio, Abercrombie claims a fragrance under the singer’s “Sasha Fierce” label “poses a likelihood of confusion” with the retailer’s own “Fierce” brand.

Miss Burke said that she couldn’t confirm anything at the moment but is hoping to be part of Beyonce’s tour in Europe.

Kanye West has cancelled his tour. Kanye West and Lady Gaga were due to perform a tour across America this winter. But now, just a few weeks after he broke little Taylor Swift’s heart into pieces at the MTV VMAs, Kanye has decided to scrap the whole thing.

Yo Kanye, we’re really happy for you, we’re gonna let you finish but Michael Jackson had one of the best tour cancellations of all time. One of Poor old Kanye West. Nothing’s going right for him at the moment.

Beyonce Knowles has a weakness for extreme 'high heels (/tag/high%20heels)' and the star has confessed being on a 'high' just by the sight of it.

"I love those super-high shoes that are out at the moment. I'm addicted," The Daily Express quoted her as saying. The 27-year old pop star cannot resist stilettos and ends up buying a pair whenever she comes across a shop, though most of the time she gets away from having to pay for them as they are given to her for free.

The singer got word as she was in Texas with the Helping Hand charity's Rev Rudy Rasmus. At least she knew he wasn't to walk off with her

Beyoncé shows 'Fierce' and softer sides in tour kickoff at the Garden

2009-07-08T04:22:00.000-07:00

Beyoncé goes under an assumed name on her current tour: Sasha Fierce.

But the character she displayed in that guise at the tour's Madison Square Garden stop last night wasn't noticeably different from the one we've long celebrated.

Like that alter ego (who also graces her latest CD, "I Am ... Sasha Fierce"), Beyoncé has always been sly, sexy, imposing and confident enough to make Kanye West seem like a recluse.

Never, however, has she distilled that character into something as focused, engaging and nuanced as now.

Lionel Richie, Beyonce Among This Year's Performers

2009-07-08T04:17:00.000-07:00

NEW ORLEANS -- Some of the biggest names in entertainment are in New Orleans as part of this weekend's 15th annual Essence Festival. It's also one of the biggest tourism draws for the City of New Orleans. Officials with the Convention and Visitors Bureau say that's especially important this year, as local hotels and restaurants struggle with the down economy.

The event launched with several lectures at the Morial Convention Center on Thursday, but the headliners will appear over the weekend.

Lionel Richie, Beyonce Knowles, Anita Baker and and Al Green are among the musical legends who will perform and whose careers span generations.

The festival started in 1995 and has grown to become one of the biggest entertainment events geared predominantly toward African-Americans.

Beyonce launches a 'Sasha Fierce' clothing line

2009-07-08T04:15:00.000-07:00

When Beyoncé released "I Am …Sasha Fierce" last year, the double album received a lot of attention, not all of it good. Times pop music critic Ann Powers focused on her alter ego and found Beyoncé’s explanation, via press release, somewhat confusing.

"Sasha Fierce," Beyoncé announced, is "the party girl…she is but I’m not. She’s my alter ego. I’m finally revealing who I am."

Powers observed: "For Beyoncé to say that an identity she is not is ‘revealing who I am’ is a contradiction." And, Powers continued, "Her misplaced worries about authenticity cause Beyoncé to make some unfortunate missteps (mostly into the puddle of excess) that often affect artists in mid-career."

Beyonce -- how much is enough? Plus: Death Cab for Cutie dusts off its extras

2009-07-08T04:12:00.000-07:00

SONIC REDUCER Fierce. Bad. Doth Beyonce Knowles and Michael Jackson protest too much? More than two decades separated them, along with crucial biographical details, gender, and a kind of comfort in one's skin. Yet both drink deeply from the same well of R&B pop perfection, after emerging, solo, from the safety and suffocation of the family-like combo. Both faintly evoke Jackson's go-to mom for Prince, Paris, and Prince II (a.k.a. Blanket), Diana Ross. Both walk that tightrope of personal vulnerability and arena-friendly theater, the real and the fantastic, artful display and emotional artifice. Both have been philanthropists, ready with a vision to heal the world, and armed with a staunch commitment to spectacle and an iron will (to entertain) encased in a sparkly or titanium robot glove.

Beyonce, Ne-Yo Honor Michael Jackson At Essence Festival

2009-07-08T04:11:00.001-07:00

On a weekend when some of today's biggest R&B stars collided with the genre's legendary singers to celebrate the 15th annual Essence Music Festival, one common topic was consistent throughout the events: of course, Michael Jackson.

The three-day event, which celebrates African-American culture in the heart of New Orleans with a series of workshops and music showcases, boasted a lineup that included Ne-Yo, John Legend, Robin Thicke and Beyoncé, along with veterans such as Lionel Richie (who reunited with the Commodores), Anita Baker and Frankie Beverly and Maze, all of whom paid homage to Jackson.

Madonna, Rihanna, Lady GaGa and Robbie Williams are reportedly in talks to make guest appearances during the upcoming series of 'The X Factor'.

According to The Sun, a source said: "This year is going to be bigger than ever - we are planning to get the best names in music. Madonna and Robbie would be sensational."

"The last series proved anything is possible when Beyoncé performed with Alex. The final got 15 million viewers and that is enough to entice the biggest stars onto our stage."

Beyonce Does Her Own Jackson Tribute On Tour

2009-07-08T04:03:00.000-07:00

Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - While the memorial for Michael Jackson is taking place at L.A.'s Staples Center, Beyonce continues to perform her own tributes during her "I Am.." Tour. On Monday night, Beyonce dedicated her song "Halo" to the King of Pop.

She began her encore by playing a home movie, showing a young Beyonce and Kelly Rowland about to leave for the Michael Jackson concert. "That was the night that changed my life. That was the night I saw my hero perform for the first time," Beyonce told the crowd of thousands.

"When I left the show, I said 'Mommy, I wanna be just like him,'" she continued. "We miss you. We love you. We thank you for all the memories, Michael Jackson."

Beyoncé's fake screech tape

2009-04-23T05:51:00.000-07:00

Fans couldn't believe their ears Tuesday after a raw, unedited "board mix" of Beyoncé Knowles badly singing "If I Were a Boy" on the "Today" show last year hit the Internet -- courtesy of Howard Stern.

A quick investigation by TMZ.com discovered that the clip is a hoax.

"At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability," B's father-manager Matthew Knowles told the Web site.

"That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered."

Promotion, perhaps. Beyoncé is on the "Today" show singing "Halo" today, and her new movie, "Obsessed," opens Friday.

BEYONCE fought back tears while paying tribute to her mum in a recent TV interview.

Teeth Whitening For A Bright Smile

2008-07-14T07:44:00.000-07:00

By Jason Edworthy

The range of options are plenty, with the likes of laser teeth whitening specialists, dentists and retailers taking up the sales of teeth whitening products and services. Until recently teeth whitening has been restricted to the dentists but with the industry growing the idea for many customers of getting their teeth whitened solely using a dentist can be costly.

Laser teeth whitening is undertaken in salons where clients have a gum dam applied to protect their gums and then a stain removing gel is applied before the laser light is activated. The gel then gains deep in to the enamel removing the staining and this is all done just under one hour. Typically the teeth are lightened by 6-8 shades and the treatment can last up to 18 months depending on how and when the staining that caused the problem is then minimised otherwise the benefit is decreased.

In modern times people are constantly looking at ways to make their appearance improved and more recently laser tooth whitening seems be the latest beauty treatment that is achieving this effectively.

Laser tooth whitening competes with tanning, hair, botox and skin treatments to both men and women with the biggest growth seen from the male grooming market for both professional treatments and products.

As customers experience the different options professional teeth whitening either by teeth whitening specialists or dentists are becoming more popular as customers are seeking experienced trained staff.

In most cases professional teeth whitening treatments will only last as long as your bad habits will prevail so if you continue smoking or drinking coffee then the staining will return around six to nine months after the treatment but can last up to eighteen months if care and attention is considered.

Tooth whitening UK

Professional laser teeth whitening is one of many options and the customer should consider visiting their dentist to check if any work needs to be done prior to considering teeth whitening.

If your teeth are fairly close to your desired colour, then you will only need to be in the chair for a short period. Typically, it takes about an hour to accomplish a whiter smile.

One advantage of laser teeth whitening is that you only need one visit to see a visible difference in the colour of you teeth. In some extreme cases, additional laser treatments may need to be done to achieve the desirable colour you are looking for.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Methods

2008-07-04T07:43:00.000-07:00

By Juliet Cohen

An impacted tooth is a tooth that fails to fully emerge through the gums. The precise reasons why an individual's wisdom teeth need to be extracted should be explained to them by their dentist, after an examination which almost certainly will need to include x-rays. Impacted wisdom teeth are very common. They are often painless and cause no apparent trouble. Most people have four wisdom teeth, one in each corner of the mouth- two on top, two on bottom. Wisdom teeth are also known as third molars are the last teeth to erupt.

Wisdom teeth are the last of your teeth to come in, or erupt through the gums. Wisdom teeth are an example of a vestigial structure. They are generally thought to be called wisdom teeth because they appear so late- much later than the other teeth, at an age where people are supposedly wiser than as a child, when the other teeth erupt. An impacted tooth remains embedded in soft gingiva (gum) tissue or bone beyond its normal eruption time. The cause may be overcrowding, often because the jaw is too small to fit the third set of molars. Wisdom teeth are the last permanent teeth to develop. They appear in the mouth between the ages of 18-24 years and may develop in the jaw but never erupt or appear in the mouth.

Mesioangular impaction is the most common form, and means the tooth is angled forward, towards the front of the mouth. Wisdom teeth do not always cause problems but typical problems associated with partially erupted wisdom teeth are frequent swelling and tenderness, constant pain, limited mouth opening and bad breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth. A condition that often occurs when wisdom teeth are impacted is pericoronitis. The term pericoronitis specifically refers to an infection located in the tissues that surround a tooth that has not fully emerged through the gums and into its proper position.

When a wisdom tooth is partially erupted, food and bacteria collect under the gum causing a local infection. This may result in bad breath, pain, swelling and trismus (inability to open the mouth fully). Impacted wisdom teeth fall into one of several categories. Vertical impaction occurs when the formed tooth does not erupt fully through the gumline. It is generally suggested that teeth that remain completely buried or un-erupted in a normal position are unlikely to cause any harm to the patient.

Causes of Impacted wisdom teeth

The common causes and risk factor's of Impacted wisdom teeth include the following:

Wisdom teeth develop like your other teeth. But they take the longest to develop and are the last teeth to emerge.

The cause may be overcrowding, often because the jaw is too small to fit the third set of molars. Teeth may also become twisted, tilted, or displaced as they try to emerge, resulting in impacted teeth.

Having a small jawbone may make you more prone to having impacted wisdom teeth.

Cysts and other benign (harmless) jaw tumors. These can lead to bone destruction.

Symptoms of Impacted wisdom teeth

Some sign and symptoms related to Impacted wisdom teeth are as follows:

Bad breath.

Pain or tenderness of the gums (gingiva) or jaw bone.

Swelling around your jaw.

Unpleasant taste when biting down on or near the area.

Swollen lymph nodes of the neck (occasionally).

Infection in the mouth.

Pain when swallowing.

Tumor development.

Visible gap where a tooth did not emerge.

Difficulty opening the mouth (occasionally).

Treatment of Impacted wisdom teeth

Here is list of the methods for treating Impacted wisdom teeth:

Over-the-counter pain relievers may help. Warm salt water (one-half teaspoon of salt in one cup of water) or over-the-counter mouthwashes may be soothing to the gums.

People who can't have their teeth removed because of certain health problems may also need to choose conservative treatment.

Jawbone reconstruction surgery.

Extraction of mal-positioned wisdom tooth prior to orthodontic treatment.

If the tooth is deeply impacted or difficulty with extraction is expected, the dentist may refer the person to an oral surgeon for tooth removal.

Antibiotics may be required prior to tooth extraction if the area around the tooth is infected.

Ferraro, Tina. Top ten uses for an unworn prom dress

2008-01-02T20:34:00.000-08:00

by Amanda MacGregor

FERRARO, Tina. Top ten uses for an unworn prom dress. Random House. 222p. c2006.0-385-73368-7. $7.99. S

Just two days prior to the prom, sophomore Nicolette Antonovich is dumped by her prom date. Rod, or "Rascal," is a year older than Nic and the hottest guy in school. Nic is shocked when he asked her to the dance--she didn't even think he knew her name! When his girlfriend unexpectedly moves back to town, he cancels his date with Nic, expecting her to understand. Try as she may, Nic just can't get over being dumped. It's now her junior year and she still has the prom dress hanging on the back of her bedroom door, serving as a constant reminder of her rejection. If that's not bad enough, she even puts it on and fantasizes about what the prom with Rascal would have been like. Alison, her best friend, tries to remind her that Rascal is a loser, but Nic just can't stop liking him. He makes sure to flirt with Nic just enough to keep her interested. Meanwhile, Alison's brother, Jared, who is also a senior, seems to be showing more than just a friendly interest in Nic. The two of them spend more time together as Nic attempts to help her mother save their house and her career.

Nic is a likeable, well-written character, but she is often frustratingly naive. She is completely oblivious to Jared's rather obvious feelings. She seems to understand that Rascal is a manipulative jerk, but repeatedly gets sucked into his mind games. It takes her far too long to realize that Rascal is not worth her time. That said, it also probably takes her a realistic amount of time to get over him. Readers who see the situation more clearly than Nic does will grow antsy for her to stop mooning over Rascal, but Nic's uncertainty unwinds at a rate that feels honest and real.
