If you’re in Ireland and you didn’t get to see Beyoncé the first time around, you’ve got another chance to see her live because the bootylicious diva will beheading your way again! For the second time during her “I Am…” World Tour, Beyoncé will be gracing the stage in Dublin and Belfast. 

She’ll be there for two days including one show at the Dublin O2 Arena on November 22nd and one night at Belfast’s Odyssey Arena on November 24th. In May and June, Beyoncé sold more than 80,000 tickets in Ireland, with all of her shows being sold out. Tickets are available now at Ticketmaster so hurry before they’re all sold out!

Any of you have plans on going?

Of course, with all the business deals that Jay-z has been doing it’s only natural that people speculate on his every move.  It was being rumored a little while ago that Jay-Z would be making some kind of negotiation with Sony Music Entertainment, and it has since been confirmed as true by Jay himself.

The rap mogul/businessman told Billboard of the deal, "Sony is Roc Nation. That’s where Roc Nation’s going through."

He was asked about the distribution deal he made with Atlantic Records for his album, “The Blueprint 3” but Hova says that it was just a one-time thing, solely for his album.

He explains, “That’s pretty much just for this specific album. Roc Nation — we’re experts in marketing and making records. But we do distribution deals," he explained. "On this one, we’re working directly with the Atlantic staff, which is Julie [Greenwald], Lyor [Cohen], Kevin [Liles] and Kyse [Mike Kyser]. For the rest of the Roc Nation artists, we did a distribution deal with Sony."

You can expect to see Jay’s album in stores on September 11th of this year. This man makes so many business deals! He seems to know what he’s doing because the man is wealthy!

Beyoncé is taking it to a whole new level by introducing a new line of clothing for kids. Her clothing line with mother Tina Knowles by the name of “House of Deréon” did not quite do as well they might have hoped so they are now taking a new approach to fashion.

So, what’s this newest project? It’s a new clothing line by the name of “Sasha Fierce”, Beyoncé’s “fiercer” alter ego. The line will be for back-to-school clothing and will be somewhat inspired by Thierry Mugler, who designed the costumes for her more recent tour, “I Am…”. Though, it is inspired by this designer it also differs from it because it is less subdued and more oriented on showcasing accessories.

You can expect: “…a one-shoulder dress, black bodysuit, fake leather jacket with oversize collar, leggings, and destructed jeans with mesh and lace details lining the ripped material.”

Tina has described the accessories as “really over-the-top.” Everything is expected to be oversized, metallic and embellished. There is no word as to what type of price range we might be expecting and when we’ll be seeing these items on the market.

I don’t know about this. I mean, yes it sounds like a fun idea, but let’s just hope that this fashion line stays age appropriate. We’ll see how that works out! If they’re able to keep it looking fashionable, appropriate and affordable, I don’t see why the line wouldn’t do well!

On Monday, Beyoncé was in Florida at the BankAtlantic Center performing for her “I Am” Tour, where she helped a man propose to his girlfriend during her song “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).” Apparently, during this song, she was in the middle of singing when she suddenly stopped. The lights went out and Bey said, “I need a light” which was followed by the illumination of a spot light.

She tells the audience, “I’m not sure if production knows about this but Lindell has something he wants to sing.” She handed the mic to a man in the audience who said, “Beyonce, you told me if I like it, I need to put a ring on it.”

He dropped to one knee and pulled out a ring, followed by him asking his girlfriend to marry him. Let me remind you that this is a  20,000+ crowd. His girlfriend nodded and said yes to the proposal, to which the crowd went wild over.

How awesome is that?! That is just too cute!! I bet everyone was a bit worried during the whole production of the lights going out and I can’t imagine what his girlfriend must have been thinking when he took that microphone. Everyone deserves to be proposed to like that!

The music video for Jay-Z’s single, “D.O.A (Death of Auto-Tune)” premiered right after the 2009 BET Awards on Sunday. Hova plays  the cool Hip Hop boss in the video who runs everything. Suits him well, I think! It’s a rather simple music video, but likeable. Making cameo appearances in the video are actor Harvey Keitel and NBA star player, LeBron James. This song is off of Jay’s album, “The Blueprint 3” which has an aimed release date for September 11th. The controversial lyrics in the song have gotten a lot of rappers talking.

DJ Khaled had this to say, “It’s an amazing record. Jay-Z is one of the best in the game. Shout to Jay-Z for shouting me out [on the record]. I salute that, you feel me? I mean, music is music, you know what I’m saying? He ain’t dissing nobody, he’s just saying it’s overdone. He shouted brothers like T-Pain that’s supposed to do it.”

While Soulja Boy said, “That’s a crazy track. I know it’s gon’ stir up a lot of controversy, but Jay-Z is one of the best so a lot of people gon be tuned into it, man. I don’t know what to say about that one. If people [will] stop using it, I don’t know, man? T-Pain, his whole thing is Auto-Tune, so you asking you think it’ll end T-Pain’s career?”

The lovely Solange Knowles showed her support for the 39th Annual LGBT Pride Parade by performing for them on Sunday in San Francisco. The parade supports the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered population. I really liked how she was wearing a rainbow colored outfit. I just wish she had decided to ditch the idea of eyebrow paint. What in the world? But this is a nice event and I’m glad she attended and performed for it.  Enjoy the pics!

Last night Beyoncé “Sasha Fierce” Knowles was in attendance at the 2009 BET Awards (see her red carpet photos here) and was hoping to win a few awards. Luckily for her, the singer walked away with two of them! Her first award was for Female R&B Artist of the Year. Bey was up against Keyshia Cole, Keri Hilson, Jennifer Hudson and Jazmine Sullivan. During her acceptance speech for this award she took the time to thank Michael Jackson for inspiring her to be who she is now. On a lighter note, Jamie Foxx came up to her right after she was done and told her to follow him. He sat her down and she looked so scared and confused. I think all he wanted to show her was that Jay-Z’s performance was coming up.

Then, she accepted the award for Video of the Year for her “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” video! Yay! Of course it had to win! No other music video in the past year has had the effect on people that hers has. She deserved it. Congrats to her for walking out of there with two awards! Take a look at her acceptance video below!

Rap star, Jay-Z attended the 2009 BET Awards last night, where he performed his new controversial hit  single, “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)” off of his much anticipated album, “The Blueprint 3.” He did a great job, as did his wife Beyoncé during her performance of “Ave Maria” and “Angel” in a tribute to Michael Jackson.

I loved how they kept showing Bey enjoying herself while her husband performed. It was too cute! At the end of the song, Jay-Z made a shout-out to MJ, the King of Pop, who died this week at age 50. He says, “Rest in peace to the king.” Check out the video below:

The 2009 BET Awards were bittersweet event as artists were recognized for their work as they mourned the loss of possibly the best artist in African-American history, Michael Jackson. Michael, who likely inspired everyone in the room, passed away this week at the age of 50. In memory of him, Beyoncé Knowles sang “Ave Maria” and “Angel.” Bey has worn the costumes that she wore on stage tonight throughout every show of her “I Am…” Tour.

As can be expected, Bey sounded great. You could definitely here some of the emotion she had towards the end of the song. I can”t imagine singing a song in dedication to Michael Jackson. I think that’d be hard for most people who appreciate him. Here is the video:

Yesterday, the 2009 BET Awards were held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California. Beyoncé Knowles hit the red carpet and boy was she ever looking colorful. I’m not liking it much at all. In a way I found it all too much, while at the same time it was too little. I do like that she was showing off her body and embracing what she’s got, but I would have chosen something a little less short and a little less overwhelming. What did you think? Was Bey rocking it on the red carpet tonight?
