This super cute baby cannot even walk yet, but he/she does shake his/her booty like there’s no tomorrow while watching Beyonce’s video for “Single Ladies”. And this should be listed as one of the reasons why Beyonce recently won ‘Video Of The Year’ at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

Almost a week after Kanye West’s infamous VMA outburst during Taylor Swift’s speech (watch video here), Jay-Z finally spoke up to defend Kanye’s passionate personality, claiming the incident was blown out of proportion.

Jay-Z said, “It’s an awards show. He’s just a super passionate person. Of course it was rude, because it was her moment, but that’s the way he really felt. I think it was rude, but the way they’re treating him…He’s on the cover of every paper. He didn’t kill anybody. No one got harmed.”

“”I think it’s a bit blown out. It was pretty rude. At the end of the day, we’re gonna celebrate him for his passion more than vilify him. As he grows and matures, he has to balance that.” Jay-Z added, “I don’t think he should lay low. I think he should move on and have a brilliant career.”

And I don’t think we are ready to celebrate Kanye unless it includes calling him a jackass (hey, Prez Obama said it!). Beyonce Knowles certainly agrees with us because she also thought Taylor’s moment had been stolen when she called the country singer back up during her VOY speech (watch video here).

It has been said Jay-Z could have been mad at Beyonce for not having Kanye’s back since he is a part of the Roc family. Mad or not, the truth is Beyonce did the right thing, acted like a lady and certainly deserves respect for the great artist that she is too!

Two of the biggest stories of the past week have been Rep. Joe Wilson interrupting President Barack Obama during his speech to Congress by shouting, “You lie!,” and last night when Kanye West went on stage and interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards saying that Beyonce deserved the award instead.

The video above is a humorous splicing of the two events whereby Kanye interrupts Obama during his address to Congress. Very well done and funny!

Actress/singer Beyonce was not only the biggest winner of the night but proved to be a real classy lady when she called Taylor Swift and gave the young country singer her moment to shine at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday (September 13).

You cannot miss Beyonce’s fierce performance of the hit “Single Ladies” (watch video), which earned her the MTV VMA for Video Of The Year. I think it’s pretty clear Beyonce beat Lady GaGa, who took home the moon man for Best New Artist.

Beyonce, who continues to evolve into the class of today’s hip-hop generation, won the Video of the Year at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).

Beyonce used the moment to call Taylor Swift back onto the stage so she could have her moment to shine. Earlier, Kanye West had jumped on-stage and hijacked the moment when Swift won Female Video of the Year. West took the mic from Swift and told the audience that Beyonce’s ‘Single Women’ was “one of the greatest videos of all-time!”

Swift was surprised and appreciative. She used the moment to thank everyone she would have thanked earlier before West intruded.

The new single out of Beyonce’s album “I Am… Sasha Fierce” is “Sweet Dreams”, a song that had been leaked before the album came out and was originally titled “Beautiful Nightmare”. The music video for this song is everything you may expect from Beyonce – crazy, sexy dance moves and a futuristic high fashion video directed by Adira Petty.

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?

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.
