Beyonce Opens Up About Weight

Beyonce and I have something in common - we both struggle with our weight. She tells he April issue of Vogue magazine, "It's easy for me to gain weight. I'm not a naturally stick-thin girl. I'm not heavy but I'm not skinny either."

I've long heard of Beyonce's habit of wearing TWO pairs of Spanx on special occasions and decided to give it a try myself at The Grammy's. Surprisingly, it's not more uncomfortable than wearing just one pair and I did like the results. One tip though - don't wait until it's an emergency before going to the bathroom!

Oscars Worst Dressed

Oh Beyonce....why? WHY?! Why did you wear this awful dress and why did you lipsynch last night? Awful, just awful...


The only one worse than Beyonce? Melissa George. WTF?! ABC trots HER out?! She's not even a "star" on Grey's. Was Ellen Pompeo busy? Sandra Oh - who was actually in an Oscar nominated movie once couldn't come? Melissa George?! Blech.

Janet Jackson vs. Beyonce

Oooh! A smackdown between Beyonce and Janet Jackson (who is fat again, btw)! My money's on Beyonce. Sure, Janet could sit on her but I think Beyonce would win the yelling fight.


Beyonce Knowles has infuriated Janet Jackson - by suggesting her family is lower class.

The former Destiny's Child singer said in a recent interview, "I grew up upper class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We're African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we're like The Jacksons.

"But I didn't have parents using me to get out of a bad situation."

Knowles' comments were not welcome - and Janet now plans to confront her R&B rival.

A source tells the National Enquirer magazine, "Beyonce's remark came out of left field and really stung Janet. She blew up.

"Yes, Janet and the Jackson family came from Gary, Indiana, and there was a time they barely squeaked by. But Janet has many loving memories and is incensed that Beyonce would make a crack like that.

"Janet wanted to know why Beyonce had to mention her family. They're not friends and barely know each other. She feels Beyonce went out of her way to tell the world she's from the upper class and the Jacksons were like a bunch of dirty gutter rats.

"Janet is proud of her family and how they came from nothing and became superstars.

"Not only is Janet telling everyone who will listen that Beyonce has a lot of growing up to do and that she needs to stop trying to impress everyone, she's planning to confront Beyonce herself and read her the riot act."

Beyonce's Sasha Fierce!

I was tired last night while I was watching the AMA's. I am re-watching it today and really, Beyonce was so good last night. This might be my favorite Beyonce performance EVER!

Beyonce Opens Up

Beyonce opens up about her life with Jay-Z in this month's Essence magazine. I like how she says, ""It's been my day so many days already." So true, but endearing to me that she would recognize it.

Six months after marrying Jay-Z, Beyonce is at last revealing details about their top-secret wedding.

"What Jay and I have is real. It's not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It's real," the singer, 27, tells Essence magazine in its November issue.

Notoriously tight-lipped about her relationship with the hip-hop mogul, Beyoncé does share a little about her wedding day, but only after groaning, "You're gonna get me in trouble."

Beyoncé tells the magazine she didn't want an engagement ring because, "People put too much emphasis on that," she says. "It's just material and it's just silly to me."

Instead, the magazine reports, she wears a band on her ring finger over a tattoo of the Roman numeral IV (Beyoncé was born on Sept. 4; Jay-Z on Dec. 4; they were married on April 4). Jay-Z, 38, has a matching tattoo on his left-hand ring finger.

(Beyoncé has not commented on the significance of a $5 million, 18-carat flawless diamond ring by Lorraine Schwartz she has been photographed wearing since September.)

Their wedding was small and intimate because Beyoncé is not a "traditional woman," she says, and didn't want the drama. "It's been my day so many days already," she told Essence.

Beyoncé, who just debuted two singles off her new album due Nov. 18, was certain she and Jay-Z would end up as husband and wife. "We've been together a long time," she says. "We always knew it would happen."

Baby Watch: Beyonce

For whatever reason I still don't think she's pg...

FUELING rumors that her wedding to Jay-Z was a shotgun-style marriage, Beyoncé has been steering clear of the sauce. The hip-hop queen, who often enjoys a flute of champagne, abstained from any alcohol whatsoever at the Kanye West after-party at 1Oak last week. "Beyoncé only drank water," said our onlooker. As for the baby rumor, her reps previously told us they would perform an ultrasound and get back to us. We're still waiting.

Beyonce Pregnant?

I don't know why, but I still really doubt Bey is preggers.

BEYONCÉ Knowles still won't confirm her April 4 wedding to Jay-Z, so there was no chance yesterday she'd confirm she's pregnant. But pals of the tight-lipped newlyweds say the songbird is expecting the couple's first child. "She has gained a lot of pregnancy weight," a source said. "When she gains weight, she normally does the Def Jam detox, but not now." A rep for Beyoncé said, "I don't know if she's pregnant. Let me perform an ultrasound and get back to you."

Beyonce & Jay-Z's Late Night Burgers

I think after the fabulous clothes, this kind of thing would be my favorite part of being a celeb.

AFTER a night of red carpet glamour at the Metropolitan Museum, newlyweds Beyoncé and Jay-Z headed out for burgers and fries. "Pop Burger had just closed," said a source. "There was a loud knock on the door, and Jay and Bey, who was still in her ball gown, were at the door with their Maybach waiting." The East 58th Street spot opened its doors and bagged up cheeseburgers and fries, which the famished duo took to go. (Page Six)

Jay-Z Gets in Trouble for Being a Dick

Seriously? I would have been pissed, too.


Beyonce and Jay-Z have only been married a matter of weeks — but it seems there may already be trouble in paradise for the newly weds.

The pair were spotted rowing at a star-studded gig at the Hollywood Bowl in LA after Jay-Z slated his new wife’s song.

The DJ played one of Beyonce’s biggest hits, Crazy In Love. But as the fans grooved, Jay-Z growled. Storming to the mic, he yelled: “F*** that. Sorry Bey but f*** that - let’s play something else.”

A furious Beyonce stormed off before laying into her man later away from the crowd.

A source said: “Beyonce had been side stage for most of the night, dancing and singing along,.

“But when Jay-Z got the song pulled, her mood soured. He meant it as a joke, but Beyonce didn’t take it that way.

“After he came off stage, she confronted him, demanding to know what the hell his comments had been about. She was gesturing wildly and not looking happy.

“Like any good husband would, Jay-Z grovelled and tried to get out of it with compliments.

“It’s a shame because earlier the pair had been flashing their tattooed wedding ring fingers. Both have ‘IV’ - the date of their wedding’ - inked on.

“Later peace was restored and they were smiling and holding hands again.”

The couple, who married secretly in New York a fortnight ago, are yet to officially confirm their nuptials. (Source: Showbiz Spy)

Jay Z & Beyonce: Hitched!

In an intimate affair that included her Destiny's Child cohorts and Gwyneth & Chris Martin (wtf?), Beyonce and Jay Z were married in NYC yesterday. Guests wore cream. I always think it's weird when couples make their guests wear a certain color. But whatever! I can't wait to see pics!

Jay Z & Beyonce: Is Today the Day?

Rumor has it today is the big day for Jay and Beyonce. Can you even imagine how beautiful Beyonce will look as a bride? Altho, I do think she can tend to look a little "pageant-y." Let's hope THAT doesn't happen!

Beyonce and Jay Z: Marriage License!

People.com is exclusively reporting that Beyonce and Jay Z have gotten a marriage license! It's valid for 60 days. Not surprisingly, the couple have "no comment."

I wonder if Rhianna and her buddy Chris Brown will be invited?

Nikki at The Grammy's

Craig and I were in LA for The 50th Anniversary of The Grammy Awards this past weekend as guests of People Magazine. We stayed at The Four Seasons, Beverly Hills. It was an amazing weekend!

First off, we weren't allowed to take pics at any of the events other than the party on Saturday. We don't have alot of pics, but wonderful memories for sure. We enjoyed 80 degree sunny weather, hanging out by the pool, free hour-long massages and mani/pedi's. But onto the good stuff: the celebs!

So, on Friday night we went to the MusicCares Benefit honoring Aretha Franklin. I stood right next to her when she got to the party! I also saw Josh Grobin (nerd), John Stamos (hot), Clive Davis (old but so cool), and Al Sharpton (lol). We saw lots of performances: John Legend, Fantasia, Natalie Cole, Lil' Mama, Corrine Bailey Rae...BIll Cosby did a little stand up, Al Sharpton gave the prayer - it was cool, but a little boring. We were thrilled to leave and head over to Avalon for the People/Verizon party. We got there and only maybe 50 people were there (hundreds later). Miley Cyrus was just arriving with her mom, Timbaland was performing and we stood right near the stage. We saw Flo Rida perform. His song "Low" is the #1 song in the country. We know this because he reminded us of it about 10 times.

Lindsay Lohan was there and she was really messed up. She was for sure on something - ecstacy or coke is my guess. She was like humping walls and other weird things. We were told she was "really pissed off" because she didn't like her outfit.

Paris Hilton was on the other side of the room and she and Lindsay were definitely "obviously not talking." They even had a little dance off from their spots in the balcony! I think Lindsay won, but it's only because Paris wasn't humping the wall. That went over pretty well for ol' Linds.

The club erupted in cheers and crazy dancing when "Gimme More" played.

I spotted Pink who looked SO pretty. So much more feminine in real life. So, I walked past her - put my hand on her shoulder and told her how much I loved her music and then I said, "You look HOT tonight." She smiled really big and said, "Aw, thank you!"

We also saw Heidi Montag (loser chick with the fake boobs from "The Hills" on MTV) at our hotel that day.

On Saturday we were hanging out by the pool and saw John Krazinski from "The Office." He was really cute. We sat next to Corrine Bailey Rae. She was very cute and very sweet. We saw Little Richard (wearing full makeup, sequin get-up and in a wheelchair) coming into the hotel and John Mayer (no kidding, HOT) was also at the pool. Later, when we were in the bar having a drink, Morgan Freeman came in. He is SO COOL. Even in a Coogi sweater. Tucked in.

That night People hosted a private party for all of their weekend guests at S Bar. Craig was able to secure an invite for our good friends Lisa and Des (who live in LA) to come with us. It was a cool party. Every year they have up and coming artists perform a 3-4 song acoustic set. This year it was this awesome guy from Detroit named Ty Stone. He's been touring with Kid Rock. He was GREAT.

Next up was Josh Kelley - better known as "husband of Katherine Heigl." lol He was good and SUPER cool. We talked to him a bit afterwards. Finally, a girl named Chrisette Michelle performed. She was up for a Grammy. She was really good, too.

After the party we went back to the hotel bar where again we saw Pink. I don't know why she was stalking me!!

On Sunday morning a limo picked me up at the hotel and took me to Prive Salon to have my hair and makeup done. It was so fun to get all glammed up. When I got back to the hotel I literally bumped into Usher. I think he might have checked me out! At 2:15 we met up for pics and champagne toasts beforing getting into our limo for the show.

We got there and for about 15 min had to stand around until our People reps managed to get us on the Talent Red Carpet. There are actually 2 red carpets - one for celebs and vips and one for everyone else. I seriously don't know how they managed to get us on the main carpet - but it was awesome. We followed Miley Cyrus the whole way. She was SO cute, SO sweet. Her dress was super cute, too.

Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) LITERALLY ran into me. Said excuse me and ran again. On the red carpet we also saw: Fantasia, Nelly Furtado, Andrea Boccelli, Tony Bennet was right next to me for awhile, but the best was that when Rhianna got there they rushed her right in. HOWEVER, one of the peeps with us is a bigwig at Cover Girl. Rhianna has a contract with CG. As soon as she saw this guy (who I was walking with), she stopped, kissed him and said 'hello' to all of us!

She is so amazingly beautiful. OMG!! Seriously, she takes your breath away.

We sat in a sky box for the show so we got food and drinks.It was so fun to see the show live! I loved Rhianna with The Time, totally cried when Kanye did "Hey Mama," thought of my friend Ellie when Beyonce and Tina Turner were performing "Proud Mary," loved Josh Grobin (don't think he's as much of a nerd now) and Andrea Bocelli perform and danced real hard to Jerry Lee Lewis! I adored Amy Winehouse. I thought she was amazing.

After the show we went to the Entertainment Weekly party at STK. It was honoring LA Reid, who is a big record producer (for those who don't know). We hung out in the main area for awhile. I saw Joel Madden and congratulated him on the new baby (mama Nicole Richie). I also saw Perez Hilton who was such a tool.

Then we got moved into the VIP section. OMG. I walked in immediately behind Kanye West. Incredible!! My boobs were totally squished on his back! Be still my heart. Seriously.

Sitting right behind me was Rhianna with Chris Brown. They are definitely an item. Chris was dancing all night long. Janet Jackson was also behind us with Jermaine Dupree and Serena Williams. Beyonce was there, Jay Z, Ashanti, Nelly, NeYo, Ludicris, Star Jones (wtf?), Pete Wentz, Nicole richie (tiny), and lots more I'm sure I'll remember later. Oh - and a haggard looking, but not messed up Owen Wilson was there, too. Kanye premeired his "Flashing Lights" video. I didn't get it, but it was pretty.

This was me, all dolled up right before we left for the Grammy's!


This is Aretha Franklin arriving to the MusicCares benefit in her honor. I didn't have the zoom on! This was how close I was to her.


This is Flo Rida performing "Low"


Us with Lisa & Des


Me with Lisa


This is me and Lisa with Josh Kelley, who is married to Katherine Heigl. He was really good and very nice. We chatted for a few minutes!


This is back at the bar at The Four Seasons after the party. THIS is Ty Stone. He is from Detroit and he's working with Kid Rock. He's a really super nice and sweet and funny guy. We hung out with him and his tour manager and his best friend all night back at the bar! They even invited us to go clubbing with them! We decided we shouldn't go since we had such a big day on Sunday.



This is me and Lisa with Sam, Ty's tour manager. lol


And this is us with Ty's best friend. He is Jerry - he was on The Bachelorette! He was one of the guys Jen Scheft rejected at the end. Didn't she reject them both? Anyway, he was pretty hot (and knew it), but in a nice way.


We had a great time and I'm sure I'll have more to report once I have time to reflect on all of the wonderful craziness of the weekend!
