According to MTV.com, Beyoncé crashed Jay-Z solo set @ the Madison Square Garden. I couldn’t help but just laugh when I heard this. Here’s the excerpt from MTV News:

During Jay-Z’s solo set, he has a part where he shows off. Jay literally sits in the DJ booth and pushes buttons to cue up instrumentals of classics like “Money Ain’t a Thang,” “Who You Wit” and “Hard Knock Life.” “F— that,” Jay yelled every time he played a song, cutting it off within seconds of bringing it up. Humorously, he started ” ‘03 Bonnie & Clyde” and just like before, he stopped it after a second. “F— that,” he said with a grin. Then Hov pulled up Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love” and, you guessed it, said, “F— that too. … No disrespect.”

But almost immediately, Beyoncé came onstage, walking with a sassy “how dare you” strut. Jay started “Crazy in Love” again, and B did her crowd-pleasing “uh oh” dance. She walked over to Jay, did a spin, smiled and went backstage. Jay doubled over laughing.

Madonna looked good on 106th rockin a gold-chain laden black Givenchy dress, Stella McCartney thigh high boots, and a Fendi fur coat. This was Madonna’s first appearance on 106th & Park.

Two, amongst a host, of my favourite singers fuse together for the ultimate collaboration! If I Never See Your Face Again by Maroon 5 featuring Rihanna will be a single, and added installment, to both artist’s albums re-releasing later this year. If I Never See Your Face Again was one of the many favourite tracks from It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, with it’s deep Prince influence, so I’m glad they’re releasing it as a single; Rihanna being a plus! The song is basically about having one night stands with your Ex, which is relative especially when your desperate.
