Kim Kardashian: Beyoncé feud is make-believe



Kim Kardashian claims that most of the rumours about her are 'so not true'.

The 32-year-old reality star is currently expecting a child with rapper Kanye West.

Kanye is good friends with his Watch the Throne collaborator Jay-Z, who is married to superstar songstress Beyoncé Knowles.

It has been said that Beyoncé never really liked Kim and was just keeping up appearances.

The international TV celebrity writes this feud off as pure nonsense.

"It''s so not true. One of the sweetest people I have ever met. She''s so sweet," Kim revealed on Sway Calloway's Shade 45 satellite radio show Sway in the Morning.

"I have no idea where these things come from. I think they like to make up these feuds. It''s more interesting.

"We''ve never even talked about it. It doesn''t even come up in conversation, probably because they get so many ridiculous stories brought to them every day with things that are true and not true. And vice-versa. That stuff just doesn''t even come up, even with my family it doesn''t come up."

Most recently speculation has been rife about Kim's relationship with her mother and manager Kris Jenner.

"And then there''s this whole crazy story out there like my mom is pimping out the baby and Kanye and her are beefing,' she explained.

'They love each other so much. It''s so crazy that people make up these things."

Kim is expected to deliver her and Kanye's child in July.

The Crazy in Love hitmaker stunned guests at a paint party Keys threw for her art collector husband Swizz Beatz by showing off her watercolour skills and the hostess is convinced the R&B superstar could make a living selling paintings.

Beyonce Opens Up About Diaper Changes, Nursery Rhymes & Showing Daughter ...


Beyonce Knowles appeared on the second season premiere of "Anderson Live" today. Check out what she had to say about who loves diaper changes more (her or hubby Jay-Z), the nursery rhymes she sings to baby Blue, and why it's so important f
or her daughter to see her on stage.

Highlights and video inside...

Taped at the same time as her World Humanitarian Day interview with Anderson Cooper, Beyonce's newest interview segment aired today during "Anderson Live."

The new mom gave us a peek into her new mommyhood days. She also reveals the new self esteem she's gained thanks to her 8-month-old daughter Blue Ivy.

On her newfound self-esteem

Well, [having a child] just gives you purpose and all of the things that my self esteem was associated with, it's all completely different. I realized why I was born and more than anything all of the things I want to pass onto my child and the best way of doing that is not by preaching or telling her but showing her by example which is one of the reasons I'm here. I don't want to preach, I want her to learn by what I do.... My daughter is seven months and I brought her to the [Revel concerts] rehearsal because it's important that she sees her mother doing things like this.

On who loves to change diapers more--Beyonce or Jay-Z

Jay's very good. I love changing diapers. I love every moment. It's so beautiful. I love it all.

On Jay speaking out in favor of marriage equality

I absolutely agree.

On singing nursery rhymes to Blue

I sing nursery rhymes and I'm mommy and when she sees me, today was the first time she saw me perform in rehearsal, she was very confused. I sing all of them. I make up actually a lot of crazy, corny songs.....Please, I'm not going to sing them now. Unless you sing "Single Ladies."

Bey ended the interview by randomly telling Anderson he has the best laugh in the world--and he said it's because he laughs like a 12-year-old girl. Ha!

Rita Ora: Beyoncé's tot is gangster


Rita Ora thinks Beyoncé Knowles' daughter Blue Ivy will grow into "a gangster" when she is older.

Rita has joked Beyoncé and Jay-Z's tot will cause the superstar couple problems as she blossoms. The stunning singer - who is rap mogul Jay-Z's protégée - thinks Blue Ivy will be a handful for her parents as she turns into an attractive young woman.

"She's beautiful. She's the cutest baby ever. She's going to be such a gangster when she grows up," Rita joked to Glamour Online. "She's gonna be very beautiful. She's gonna be a problem."

Rita looks to Beyoncé as an inspiration for both her music career and future family plans. The 21-year-old idolises the way the superstar juggles all the different aspects of her life. Rita believes Beyoncé is almost superhuman with the way she remains at the top of her game in everything she does.

"It's so inspiring to see her be the most successful artist in her genre and have a kid at the same time. Literally, sometimes, I just feel like she's a super hero," Rita gushed.

"It's hard to go on tour, have a new album, have a kid, always look great. And one day, I would love to do the same thing. When I'm old enough, and have a family, and be in a happy relationship and have a kid. And be, you know, the best singer I can possibly be. So no one is looking to have a kid right now. I'm not going to have a baby until I'm around 30 something."

Beyonce Working on Her Fifth Studio Album


After giving birth to her first child in January, Beyonce is ready to get back to the studio. The R&B diva has reportedly started working on her fifth album, the follow-up to her 2011 release, ’4.’

According to The Sun, the 30-year-old star is currently holed up in a New York studio with producers Hit-Boy and Kanye West. Bey has taken every precaution to make sure demos aren’t leaked, even renting the entire complex to prevent illicit recordings.

“She’s spent thousands hiring out the whole studios,” a source told the newspaper. “She’s got security on the doors to ensure no one hears a whisper. She’s being strict with proceedings too, putting in 14-hour days and declaring nobody leaves until it’s perfect.”

In the meantime, Beyonce is taking a stand on World Humanitarian Day, donating a video of herself performing ‘I Was Here’ in the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York City in front of a live audience. The video will premiere on World Humanitarian Day, Aug. 19.

Kanye, Beyonce Lead 2012 BET Awards Noms, Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj to Perform


We have a little over a month in countdown to see Samuel Jackson host the 2012 BET Awards with Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj hitting the stage as the headline performers. Kanye West leads the pack with seven nods, including two Video of the Year spots for "N***as in Paris and "Otis." Beyonce is close behind with six and her husband Jay-Z follows with five.

On the R&B side of things, the coveted awards are competitive with Marsha Ambrosius, Beyonce, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, and Melanie Fiona battling for Best Female R&B Artist, while Chris Brown, Bruno Mars, Miguel, Trey Songz, and Usher duke it out in the Best Male R&B category.

Tween group Mindless Behavior will need the support from their die hard fans to propel them past, Jay-Z/Kanye Wast as The Throne, Maybach Music Group, Diddy Dirty Money, and Eminem's Bad Meets Evil in the Best Group rank, while Nicki Minaj will most likely take the plaque for Best Female Hip Hop.

Jay Z And Beyonce Up Sticks To London

London looks like it will become home to yet more musical superstars as rapper Jay Z and his singer/actress wife Beyonce Knowles announced their plans to move to the English capital in the near future. The pair has decided to rent a swanky five-bedroom gaff in the capital because they are apparently tired of pouring money down the drain on posh hotels in the city they so often visit.

In a report from the Sun, the new parents struck a deal this week for a posh property in the same vicinity where X Factor boss Simon Cowell, Virgin chief Sir Richard Branson and director Michael Winner live. They were enticed to the area through recommendations by friends Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay's Chris Martin as much as they were by the convenience it will offer to future ventures to the city. A spokesperson for the couple has discussed the move to the media, stating "they wanted to have somewhere more homely now they are parents." The duo will next be in the country's capital when Jay Z performs in the Watch The Throne Tour and Radio 1's Big Weekend whilst Beyonce will be launching her perfume in Europe over the summer.

Beyonce Fires Back at Fake Pregnancy Rumors.....


Beyonce Fires Back at Fake Pregnancy Rumors.....


After giving birth to her beautiful daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, three months ago, Beyonce Knowles is finally speaking about the rumors that she faked her pregnancy with husband Jay-Z.


In an interview with People magazine for their 2012 World's Most Beautiful Woman special issue, the 30 year-old songstress said that the surrogacy rumors were "crazy," explaining, "That was crazy. It wasn’t hurtful, it was just crazy, [I thought] ‘Where did they come up with this?’”
Rumors started swirling that the "Bootylicious" singer was wearing a prosthetic baby bump back in October when she made an appearance on Australia's "Sunday Night HD." When Knowles sat down it appeared her bump deflated, but the actress fired back, saying, "It was a fabric that folded—does fabric not fold? Oh my gosh, so stupid."


Beyonce's sister, Solange Knowles, also shot back at the nay-sayers, tweeting earlier, "It has really gotten out of hand. I've been doing my best at keeping my mouth shut....but the ignorance is really sad and upsetting."


The singer/songwriter's family is definitely upset about the tabloid chatter, especially her mother, Tina Knowles, who vented, "I thought it was very unfair and very cruel that someone would think that someone would be that diabolical to keep up a charade like that for nine months. As a mother it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors. And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous."
Though the situation has been tough on the Grammy Award-winning artist, she says she has gotten through all of the "stupid rumors" by focusing on all of the "love and well wishes" from her amazing fans.


Rumors aside, Beyonce called motherhood "amazing," gushing, "I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth, I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth."

Beyonce covers PEOPLE mag as the most beautiful woman in the world.

 Beyonce covers PEOPLE mag as the most beautiful woman in the world. You've seen the cover and a glimpse of Bey's first post-baby interview. But now that we've seen the whole spread, here's some things you should know...

On how Blue Ivy changed her body:

My toes and feet are a lot rougher since I have become a mom. Other than that, I try to take care of myself drinking a gallon of water a day with lemon.

On Jay-Z loving her domestic look:

He loves it when I wear flat shoes, which is surprising – he never saw me in flats before! He likes me more natural – just the relaxed, natural me.’

On embracing motherhood:
I'm obsessed with Blue. And I mean that in many ways. I just stare at her all day. She is my favorite thing in the world and my number one job is to protect her.

On her newfound love for flats

I never thought there would be a day when I wouldn't wear heels. Now that I have a child, I walk around holding her all day, I'm buying loafers and oxfords. I love the, because they're comfortable, and shorter heels too.

On dropping the glam squad to handle her hair herself

'I recently cut two inches myself - I just parted it in the middle and chh-chh-chh!'

On getting her body right post-baby
Beyoncé revealed how breast-feeding her little one for ten weeks helped her lose ‘the bulk’ of her pregnancy weight, but that she’s now on a strict-protein based diet. She now works out three times a week for 90 minutes, doing a combination of running, dancing and crunches. "I’m definitely softer, but I feel my body bouncing back. And no, I don't have a trainer living with me."


On adjusting how she sees herself post-baby
Every day in my life is a part of my history, and I've worked really hard on my career and my life. So I make sure I wouldn't be upset if somebody saw me. I've been mostly wearing my hair slicked back in a ponytail and no makeup, just sunglasses and lip gloss...When I've just gotten out of the shower, I feel really beautiful then. When [my makeup] is off and I can feel my own skin.

On her in-labor look

I tried to always wrap my hair and I put some lipgloss on before going in. But after many hours of labor, I didn't care how I looked.

Beyonce: Jay-Z Loves Me In Flats



The 'Love On Top' hitmaker - who was recently named People Magazine's 'Most Beautiful Woman' - has had to ditch her heels since welcoming baby daughter Blue, much to her husband's delight.

She said: ''I never thought there would be a day when I wouldn't wear heels.

''Now that I have a child, I walk around holding her all day, I'm buying loafers and oxfords. I love them because they're comfortable, and shorter heels too.

''[Jay] loves it when I wear flat shoes, which is surprising - he never saw me in flats before! He likes me more natural - just he relaxed, natural me.''

The down-to-earth first-time mother also reveals she shuns expensive stylists in favour of a bit of DIY when it comes to her hair.

She told People Magazine: ''I recently cut two inches myself - I just parted it in the middle and chh-chh-chh!''

Having lost the majority of the baby-weight through breastfeeding, the singer is now working out three times a week and has embarked on a protein-based diet to help get her toned body back.

She added: ''I'm definitely softer, but I feel my body bouncing back.''

Beyoncé has girls' night out


Beyoncé Knowles reportedly partied up a storm over the weekend.

The 30-year-old singer was out with her younger sister Solange and two other female friends at W.I.P. club in New York City.

An eyewitness told People magazine that Beyoncé, who welcomed daughter Blue Ivy back in January, let loose on the dance floor and loved moving to 90s, hip-hop and disco music.

'Beyoncé looked amazing and was having a great time with her friends,' an onlooker said. 'She was very laid back, smiling and in a great mood.'

The Single Ladies star was seen chatting and laughing with her girlfriends while they drank vodka cocktails in a VIP booth.

Oscar winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. apparently stopped by to say hello before they left the club around 3am.

Star magazine recently claimed that Beyoncé and her rapper husband Jay-Z are already thinking about having baby number two.

'They see no reason to wait,' the source told the publication. 'Beyoncé has said giving birth and dropping the baby weight was far easier than she thought.'
