Young Money rapper Nicki Minaj revealed that she wants to right for Beyonce! Now that she’s worked with Usher, Mariah Carey, Ludacris and more, she’s ready to work with the Queen.

“I think I can come up with some crazy, crazy stuff for Beyonce,” Nicki offered. ”I have things that I write for girls, like R&B singers and you know, Beyonce, she’s fearless. I think she can embody my crazy swag in a female R&B world.”

We can’t even imagine the type of things Nicki would have Beyonce saying in a song. This could turn out either really bad… or really good.

This sounds a little suspect, but supposedly Beyonce spoke to some foreign magazine and spilled the beans on the financial arrangement behind her marriage with Jay-Z:

The R&B superstar, who has been married to the hip-hop mogul since 2008, recently revealed in an interview that she approves of contracts between couples and encourages all women to consider them. Speaking to Neon about life being easier as a millionaire, the 28-year-old said: “The fear of the student, have no future, being dependent on her boyfriend, objectively weigh heavier than the fears that torment me. “Only music from subjective feeling arises – and subjective fears, many musicians have lost. We feel pain and depression, just like other people. What separates us, is perhaps the price of butter. But all that is essential, I feel like every hard working woman.”

Beyoncé continued: “For example, I believe that in my relationship with Jay-Z – as in any genuine relationship – not everything is easy. I want children – not now, later. He’s entirely not aware of that fact yet. I want to sit around at home, also times in a tracksuit pants. He assumes and believes that women even wear high heels just to go to the bathroom.”

As for an alleged $10 million (£7m) minimum two year marriage contract, she added: “Anyone who thinks so, because of what? I do not deny that there is a marriage contract. I would encourage any woman getting married to put on such a treaty, it will gain more influence on self-esteem. For details, I don’t express myself. I am not here on trial.”

Huh? This definitely sounds like some stuff was chopped and screwed during this translation…

Check out this dope graphic a fan made of Lady Gaga and Beyonce, following the premiere of their big “Telephone” music video last week. The picture made its way around the Internet over the weekend and was even spotted by Lady Gaga herself who tweeted this:

“I think the Pop Universe just imploded. Completely brilliant. Whoever made this: BRAVO.”

Meanwhile, MTV is refuting reports stating that their network had “banned” the racy video because they had deemed it inappropriate. The network premiered the video Friday and fans can view it both on-air and online via the MTV.com website. Peep MTV’s statement below…

“MTV did not ban Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s ‘Telephone’ video — in fact, we premiered it on Friday, March 12, on-air and online at MTV.com, two days before this story was falsely reported,” said MTV Executive Vice President of Music and Talent Amy Doyle. “Fans can continue to catch the video as we repeat it on-air and online.”

Also, the designer who created the graphic above put together another image of Gaga and Beyonce in the video as a thank you to everyone, including Lady Gaga herself, who appreciated the first one. Continue reading to check that out!

Rapper Jay-Z put on his hard hat as he participated in the ground-breaking ceremony of the controversial Barclays Center Atlantic Yards project last Thursday (May 11) in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. Jay’s wife Beyonce was in attendance to “complement the deal,” as she sings in her “Upgrade U” song.

The $4.9 million project, which will feature a basketball arena at the Atlantic Yards site, recently received the green light following years of delays and challenges in court. Community activists caused a stir when the project was formally announced a few years ago. Apparently, they were angry over the money the project is costing and the potential damage the increased traffic and pollution will have on the area, which sits next to a neighborhood.

Along with Jay-Z at the elaborate ground-breaking ceremony were New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, NY Governor David Patterson, Rev. Al Sharpton and more. Pics of Bey, Jay and Rev. Sharpton at the ground-breaking ceremony below…

Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s new “Telephone” video has gotten mixed reviews since its premiere late Thursday night. Some believe it’s “epic” while others believe the hype around it was considerably higher than how good the video actually was.

Well, Lady Gaga recently hit up a couple radio stations to clarify some things in the video; from the “acting” on both her and Beyonce’s part, to the number of product placements that lined the video. After listening to these, we can definitely say that no one puts as much thought into a video like Gaga does and it looks like she’ll be sticking around in this here music biz!

Here’s the worldwide premiere of the most highly anticipated music video of the year (so far). Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s “Telephone” video leaked to the Internet a few hours ahead of its big world premiere so here it is! Watch it while you can because there’s no telling how long this is gonna stay up.

The 9 minute short film/music video opens with Gaga in a prison yard swapping spit with some (chick who looks like a) guy. She hears her name on the intercom telling her she has a telephone call from Beyonce and that’s when the actual song begins (this is about 3 mins in… lol). Later in the clip, a mysterious person breaks Lady G out of prison. We later find out that person is Beyonce and she’s waiting outside in the “Pussy Wagon” (from Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” movies). And the story just goes on from there.

In the end, Beyonce and Lady Gaga end up killing everyone at a diner they stop at (where singer Tyrese and rock group Semi Precious Weapons make their cameos) and flee the city.

Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s eagerly anticipated music video for their mega-hit “Telephone” didn’t premiere Monday as planned (obviously) but LG’s label made up for that by releasing a few never-before-seen shots of Gaga and Beyonce in the video, set to premiere this Thursday (for real this time… hopefully) on E! News at 11:30 PM EST. It will make its online debut one half hour later on Vevo.com.

After the premiere, Gaga will dissect the inspiration behind “Telephone” and explain how she has been able to out-do herself yet again exclusively to Ryan Seacrest. The video will make its online debut at midnight that evening on VEVO.com and LadyGaga.com. Gritty, erotic and wildly fierce, this nine-minute, visually stunning, cinematic masterpiece is helmed by famed music video director Jonas Akerlund. Rich with Gaga’s unique dance stylings, iconic costume design and unworldly hair and make-up, this is far from your typical music video.

We’re just ready for them to release the damn video… what about you? Peep the pics below…

She’s a singer, actress, fashion designer/business woman and now she owns a school in Brooklyn, New York! On Friday (Mar 5), Beyonce and her mom Tina Knowles spoke at Phoenix House, a nonprofit recovery center for drug and alcohol addiction, to unveil the Beyonce Cosmetology Center.

The press release states that the program is “a seven-month cosmetology training course for adult men and women.” All of the products to be used at the center have been donated by L’Oreal, and Beyonce and Tina have made a commitment to donate $100,000 every year.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was also in attendance and spoke before Beyonce took to the podium.

While Phoenix House provides varied vocational training, “I felt like they needed something that was geared towards women — something that would teach them skills that would give them hope even after the Phoenix House,” Beyoncé explained about why she chose to fund a beauty school. Her mother also owned and operated a salon in Knowles’ hometown of Houston.

“I saw that a salon was a place for women to socialize, share stories, cry, laugh and get advice,” she continued about her experiences growing up around a beauty parlor. She was close to tears as she added, “Most importantly, I saw the joy it brought my mother, knowing she was a part of their transformation.”
