Singer/actress Beyonce Knowles graces the cover of the latest issue of Self Magazine (June 2009) and shares some of her secrets for a sexy attitude. It’s all about believing in yourself!

Check out Beyonce’s new music video “Ego” out of the album “I Am… Sasha Fierce”. Here are some highlights from Beyonce’s Self Magazine interview:

On feeling confident about her body: “Ever since I was a little girl, my legs have been curvy and pretty muscular, but my arms have always been really skinny. They were so weak, I could barely hold a mic. But now I can do push-ups! Ten at a time! It’s about self-esteem. It’s in the hips. Lean back, stretch your neck, keep your shoulders low, point your toes and cross one foot in front of the other.”

On keeping her curvylicious body in shape: “I’m not one of those people who doesn’t have to work at it. I can’t eat what I want, and I can’t not go to the gym. There are no quick, easy secrets. The truth is, it’s a lot of sacrifice. It’s more about your mental strength than physical strength. You have to push yourself. It doesn’t matter what trainer you have. And it doesn’t matter what program you’re on. You have to be healthy and make the right choices.”

Singer/actress Beyonce graces the cover of the current issue of Cosmopolitan UK and tells all about her dieting secrets and faux pas because she is just a normal girl.

Beyonce reveals, “I go through phases. Right now I’m eating veg and drinking water. I have bran cereal in the morning, a salad for lunch and maybe fish for dinner. It’s boring.”

“If I snack, it’ll be fruit. Or I have these yogurt-covered almonds. But this is when I’m being good. When I’m being bad… I’m bad,” adds Beyonce. “All the way. Burgers, pizzas, french fries, the lot…”

It is not easy to keep a curvalicious body like Beyonce’s! It’s all about it going to the right places, but a rocking hot firm body like hers is only kept with much work and exercise. Of course we can and should set up a guilty-free day to eat whatever we want!

This year the Oscars were a little more intimate and informal but that is not an excuse to go on stage and slip your nipples all over the place, Beyonce!! Hugh Jackman hit the stage to pay a tribute to the Musicals and introduced fabulous singer Beyonce in a tight little red number.

I don’t know how she even got into that outfit but it seemed to me it would be a miracle if something didn’t just burst out. And it did! It happened!! We might not have noticed anything in the video (watch it here>>) but that’s why the eager photographers still have a job. To capture this unique moments… thank you!! Look at Hugh’s happy face!!

Hugh Jackman is most probably the dullest most annoying Oscar host in history. Not even Beyonce and her gigantic hips and booty could have saved the show. Seriously who had the fabulous idea of having Hugh and Beyonce doing ‘Musicals’?? Then adding real life couples like Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens (“High School Musical”) and Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper (“Mamma Mia!”) to the mix! It was just pretty tacky to me!

The great Etta James is threatening to whip Beyonce’s curvascious backside for singing her song at one of the Inaugural Balls attended by President Obama.  Heck, Etta wants to beat her down for even showing up at the event.  Etta, rightfully so, believes that Beyonce was not worthy enough to perform at such a historic event.

“You guys know your president, right? You know the one with the big ears? Wait a minute, he ain’t my president, he might be yours, he ain’t my president. You know that woman he had singing for him, singing my song–she’s going to get her ass whipped.”

“The great Beyonce. I can’t stand Beyonce,” she spat. “She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol’ president day, singing my song that I’ve been singing forever.”

I am going out to buy every Etta James recording I can find today.  She is my hero after her slam of Beyonce. I think she said what many of us have thought for a long time.  Etta should have been up there like Aretha Franklin was during the Inauguration that morning.

Last weekend we let you in on Gwyneth Paltrow & Kelly Osbourne’s weight loss secrets, and everyone knows how I feel about Kate Winslet’s rockin’ bod... Today I am here to tell you that you can get Beyonce’s curvy, sexy muscular body!! Here’s what she does:

Trainer Marco Borges‘ “power moves,” a regimen using several muscle groups simultaneously. “You could perform three different exercises using machines but not have the benefits of one compound move, like a reverse lunge shoulder press. It works all the same muscles and the core,” explains Borges, whose book Power Moves: The 4 Motions to Transform Your Body for Life details his tricks of the trade.

I love doing compound exercises… It saves so much time and when it’s over, your whole body feels completely exhausted. So how come I don’t look like Beyonce? Her waist to hip ratio is ridiculous!!

Singer/actress Beyonce Knowles made quite an entrance with a beautiful long tight white strapless dress at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards. The dress was so freaking tight we were really scared she might start bursting out of it… how can she control those cha-chas and keep them from popping out?? I mean it must be painful!! And where was hubby Jay-Z!?

Anyway Beyonce looks amazing! I wouldn’t say she was amongst the best dressed celebs of the night but she gets some points for showing off her curvylicious body in such a daring dress.

Jay Z & Beyonce Knowles-Hollywood’s King and Queen of hip-hop- are now also the highest paid celebrity couple out there. When the sexy 80 million dollar ex- Destiny’s Child married the 82 million dollar mogul, a 162 million dollar empire was created. That’s how much the dynamic duo earned from June 1, 2007 to June 1, 2008. In one year! The list of top-paid power couples also includes Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.

“Naturally powerful people tend to gravitate towards other powerful people,” explains clinical psychologist and celebrity researcher Jim Houran, for reasons that range from proximity (stars hang around other stars) to familiarity (people are attracted, at least initially, to others like them) to clearer expectations (shared priorities make it easier for celebrities to relate). No matter how they get together, the results are good for the bottom line.

Maybe all these powerful people who campaigned for the president-elect should throw some of that money in a bucket and help this economy of ours. I mean, what do you do with $162 mill anyways?

Photos from ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce’ Album Shoot

Beyonce’s new album I Am…Sasha Fierce. has received extremely mixed reviews from critics.  Backseat Cuddler music critic DJ Sidekick reviewed the album and one of the key things he pointed out was that the all the songs were written by white songwriters (with the exception of Babyface).  In his opinion this pushed the album more into sugar pop and away from R&B.

Mostly all of the writers on this project are white, save Babyface, and it shows through the project’s overall contemporary pop appeal.  But don’t worry, the later portion of this album features enough 808’s, mixshow lingo, and designer references to make up for it.  Top producer nods belong to Rodney Jerkins, Sean Garrett, and Jim Jonsin.

“Ave Maria” is a track that’s so corny it’s embarassing - not quite a remake, not quite a Lifetime special presentation.

Sidekick goes on to praise certain portions of the album and aptly points out his favorite two songs on the CD.

This projects two most-strongest tracks though are without a doubt “Diva” (which has virtually the same beat sequence as Lil’ Wayne’s “A Milli”, an obvious nod to her friend and collaborator) and “Radio” - two songs that are so dynamic in vocal arrangement and experiments in tribal house (more so the latter) that it makes you want to check your iPod again with the thought that you’ve shuffled to a new Rihanna track - an effort that I’m sure was completely strategic.

D.J. concluded his review with this appropriately mixed conclusion about Beyonce’s I Am…Sasha Fierce.

It’s an imbalanced record at best, but still B’s best work thus far.  A record that you’ll undoubtedly be hearing through 2009 in both the club and at a Pampered Chef party.

Singer Beyonce has an alter-ego, someone who takes over her body when she is performing and her name is Sasha Fierce. Classy!! Sasha makes her debut in a very sexy, dark, mysterious and fierce photo shoot.

She’s played sidekicks to Mike Myers in Austin Powers and Steve Martin in Pink Panther, but now Beyonce Knowles is looking to be a leading lady. She has been in talks with reps of DC Comics and Warner Bros. to discuss playing the role Lynda Carter made famous on the small screen in the ’70s- Wonder Woman.

“I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman?” Beyonce tells the Los Angeles Times. “It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It’s time for that, right?”

“I would definitely have to keep it right for that costume. The way that Lynda Carter wore it, she was sooo fine,” Beyonce says. “It sure would be handy to have that lasso. To make everybody tell the truth? I need that. It would come in very handy.”

I bet Beyonce would rock that outfit. I say go for it, girl!

Singer/actress Beyonce is desperately trying to reinvent herself. She created an alter ego, Sasha Fierce, to explain the release of another monotonous album with the same sound and feel of every single album she ever did before.

“I have someone else that takes over when it’s time for me to work and when I’m on stage, this alter ego that I’ve created that kind of protects me and who I really am,” the former Destiny’s Child frontwoman said in a statement.

“Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I’m working and when I’m on the stage.”

The new album “I Am … Sasha Fierce” is due in stores on Nov. 18. If you really think the formula “hit the high notes till you can’t breathe anymore and shake your booty” still works then you should definitely buy this crap!

Sasha Fierce even has her own MySpace. How original!

Hollyscoop is reporting that R&B star Beyonce Knowles is pregnant with rapper/husband Jay-Z’s baby. You probably remember their very strange and rushed wedding just four weeks ago. Well there likely was a reason for the nitro wedding.

Hollyscoop has learned exclusively through multiple sources that Beyonce is expecting. A source close to the couple revealed, “Beyonce is 100% pregnant, which is why the couple rushed their wedding.” The source also told Hollyscoop that all the friends and family that attended the ultra private wedding were all aware that Beyonce was already expecting.

Our source added that Beyonce is in her early stages, but don’t expect this star to come out with a confirmation statement anytime soon.

Two high profile shot-gun music collaborations in the same month? First there was news of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz engagement and Ashlee’s strongly rumored pregnancy. Now it looks as if there is going to be a Rocafella Jr. up in the club.

Singer Beyonce and longtime rapper boyfriend Jay-Z got married Friday night in New York according to PEOPLE magazine.  The two created a buzz yesterday when they went to apply for a marriage license together.

The ceremony was followed by a lavish party at the rapper’s Tribeca apartment that drew Beyoncé’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 lavish ceremony had many people in motion to make sure everything was in place last night.

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.

The two had been dating since 2001.  It is the first marriage for both stars.  Jay-Z is twelve years older than his beautiful 24-year-old bride.

The ceremony was followed by a lavish party at the rapper’s Tribeca apartment that drew Beyoncé’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.

Congrats to the new King and Queen of Hip-Hop!

Beyonce Knowles is the greatest ‘Connect 4′ player on the face of the earth after beating rapper Kanye West 9 out of 10 times.  West had been playing the game for hours in Europe while coping with the loss of his mother and thought he was pretty good.  He had heard how good Beyonce was and got his chance to play her at Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club on New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas.

“I would play this game for hours and hours … It helped me zone out,” West, 30, wrote on his blog Wednesday. “But every now and then people would speak of this legendary Connect 4 champion … BEYONCE!!!”

“I had 2 play her,” he continued, noting that he finally got the chance on New Year’s Eve at Jay-Z’s brand new 40/40 Club in Las Vegas. “[She] beat me 9 times in a row!”

The makers of ‘Connect 4′ will be celebrating all day at the huge amount of free press and publicity that two of hip-hop’s biggest entertainers have brought to their game.

There is a hotel in Oklahoma City that goes for $35 bucks a night and at first glance looks like a half way decent place to stay the night.  Except there is a big hole in the wall underneath the bathroom sink and a set of massive Indian curtains pulled back on each side of the room that separate the bathroom from the sleeping area.

Beyonce stayed at that same hotel, ripped those horrendous curtains down, and had a dress made out of them.  Therefore making Miss Jay-Z our ‘Worst Dressed Celeb of the Day‘
