Is Beyonce Lying About her Age?

PopSugar — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 13:30:57 -0800

How cute is Beyonce with her little nephew Daniel? We're not used to seeing her in such a mommy role. She comes across like more of a pop star sensation than a domestic goddess, especially with all of the latest rumors flying around. There's the one about her supposedly feuding with Dreamgirls co-star Jennifer Hudson, and the one about her secretly getting married to Jay-Z this weekend. Now here's another one to add to the list. Beyonce claims to be 25, but new evidence says she actually may be 7 years older. Mediatakeout reports:

Over the past few weeks, MediaTakeOut.com has received hundreds of emails from people asking us to confirm Beyonce's true age. In an attempt to find the truth, we spoke with dozens of insiders - all of whom believed that Beyonce was being truthful about her age.

But yesterday MediaTakeOut.com received a tip that proved to be explosive. The tipster, who claimed to work for the Texas Department of Health, faxed over what appears to be Beyonce's official birth records. The document (a portion of which is below) shows that a Beyonce Giselle Knowles was born to a Mathew Knowles and Celestine Ann Beyonce on September 4th, 1974. If this document is accurate, that would mean that Beyonce is actually 32 years old.

Beyonce's official biography claims that she was born on September 4th, 1981. It also claims that her mothers maiden name is "Beyince", and not "Beyonce" as the below document shows.

Who knows if it's true. That kind of documentation they have could be easily altered. Still, we've always thought that Jay-Z seemed a little too old for her. If she was 32, their relationship would make more sense! Plus, as a diva I think you're allowed to be any age you want! For more pics of Beyonce and her nephew just read more

First Impressions of Rhythm Heaven For the Nintendo DS

GeekSugar — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 01:45:55 -0700

We already know how much Beyonce and her nephew Julez love Rhythm Heaven for the DS, but I was curious to check it out myself to see what all the hype is about. Coinciding with the release of the new Nintendo DSi on April 5, Rhythm Heaven (which can be played on both the DS and DSi) is all about rhythm and music. Basically take the musical components of games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, and the skill testing challenges of Brain Age, and you've got Rhythm Heaven.

What's different though is the competitive nature, where you have to conquer each rhythm-based minigame before advancing to the next level (you will receive a medal which unlocks various things). And to be honest, the avid gamer that I am, I didn't breeze through the levels as expected. It actually requires a lot of concentration as you are forced to pay close attention to the beats in the songs. Needless to say, I was instantly hooked and addicted. The songs are upbeat, the characters are adorable, and each level provides a new experience. With a game that forces you to flick, tap, slide, and kick to various beats, you'll find that Rhythm Heaven is not only challenging, but entertaining as well.

Rhythm Heaven will cost $26 when it goes on sale on April 5.

Pop Parties: The Brit Awards 2009 Launch & Nominations!

PopSugarUK — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:00:00 -0800

Last night FabUK and I attended The Brit Awards 2009 launch party and nominations announcement show at the Roundhouse in London, where we watched some great performances from Florence and the Machine, Scouting For Girls and Gabriella Cilmi. The event was hosted by Fearne Cotton who looked absolutely gorgeous in her studded black dress, and kept the audience entertained between filming segments of the televised show. Lovely Florence threw flowers out into the audience before her performance, Scouting For Girls got the crowd jumping around with "She's So Lovely" and I spied the new Skins cast, including Kaya Scodelario, dancing in the audience.

The reason for all the fun was the announcement of the nominations and performers for the night itself, which takes place on February 8 at Earls Court. Duffy and Coldplay led the pack with four nods each, and Chris Martin and the boys, Take That, U2, Kings of Leon, Duffy, Girls Aloud and the Pet Shop Boys will be performing at this year's ceremony.

Beyonce Opens Up To Ellen

PopSugar — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 00:40:32 -0700

Justin and Beyonce will be performing on the VMAs tonight, but they must have had a lot of practice while filming The Ellen Show. We already showed you how JT got down, now here are pics of Beyonce and Ellen. B will also be one of Ellen's first guests to kick off the new season next week. In her interview she tried to clear up some rumors. Here's more:

Sitting down with Ellen for a heart-to-heart, Beyonce dissed the tabloid rumors of an engagement to longtime boyfriend Jay-Z.

"It's a big, fat rumor," she said. "One day I hope to be married with children."

"OK, so... when?" Ellen asked.

"I dunno!" Beyonce answered, giggling.

And as for those rumors of retirement by age 30? Don't believe them either. "I don't want to retire at 30, but I want to relax a little more... have a slower pace," she said.

But until then, Beyonce wants to step up her movie career. She told Ellen that her latest flick, 'Dreamgirls,' was a life-changing experience. "I'm like a kid all over again. I get so excited," she said of starting the new movie.

What didn't excite her was having to lose 20 pounds for the role. Beyonce did it by following the 'Master Cleanse' program, eating no solid food for two weeks.

"I was very hungry, therefore I was evil!" she joked. "The first thing I did after the movie -- I ate a whole dozen Krispy Kremes."

Not sure I believe the Krispy Kreme part. No doubt that they are delicious donuts and my mouth is salivating just thinking about them, but a dozen? No way. That would have made her so sick. Lots more images of Beyonce performing so read more

Beyonce Knows Herself Enough to Be With Jay-Z

PopSugar — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 09:00:00 -0800

Beyonce Knowles isn't a teenager anymore, but that didn't stop her from sitting down with Seventeen to chat all about her whirlwind year, which includes her stop by the TRL finale tonight, as well as her upcoming double album. She opened up about her hush-hush wedding to Jay-Z, as well as her competition. Here's more:

On finally settling down with Jay-Z: "I was 18 when we first met, 19 when we first started dating. There was no rush - no one expected me to run off and get married. I really don’t believe that you will love the same thing when you’re 20 as you do at 30. So that was my rule: Before the age of 25, I would never get married. I feel like you have to get to know yourself, know what you want, spend some time by yourself, and be proud of who you are before you can share that with someone else."
On what she's learned from her husband: "I guess probably that we’re all human. I don’t care if you’re picture-perfect on every magazine cover, and you’re the most handsome, successful, coolest guy – you still get sad, and you still get your feelings hurt, and you still get confused and vulnerable and nervous and scared. You have to find a person you can make it through the tough times with."
On competition with other artists: "I feel like I’m my competition. I don’t try to compete with other people. I just try to better myself. I go and watch everything that I’ve done. I have my YouTube days, when I watch every performance, and I listen to my music, and I watch my videos to figure out what I need to do, what I need to fix, and how to become a better singer."

It's rare to get a peek into her relationship with Jay-Z, especially about their vulnerability, but it's part of what keeps her human and able to be her own best motivation.

Lorraine Schwartz Dazzling Diamonds, Part I

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 09:34:41 -0800

Look at all of the lavish bling on these lovely leading ladies last night. Thanks to jeweler of the stars, Lorraine Schwartz, beauties such as: Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce and Sarah Paulson arrived decked out in drop dead gorgeous diamonds and rare stones.

Lorraine has been decorating celebs in her decadent designs for the past decade, but really began to make her mark over the past two years. We first heard about her at the 2006 VMAs when she bedazzled Beyonce and Jessica Simpson in exquisite bracelets, rings and earrings. Oh, and who could forget that outrageously gorgeous necklace that Christina Aguilera wore!

Unfortunately, Lorraine does not have an online store, but you can call her directly at (646) 274-2008 for an appointment if you live in or plan to visit New York City. Her showroom is located at 580 5th Avenue by 47th Street, in NYC's famous diamond district.

For more details about J.Lo, Beyonce and Sarah's diamonds, read more

Jennifer Lopez wore ten plus carats of yellow diamonds in a pair of crushed gold chandelier earrings worth $110,000. She was also adorned in a yellow brushed gold cuff, a canary emerald cut diamond platinum ring that totalled 30 carats for two million dollars and a yellow gold rose cut diamond ring.

Beyonce Knowles wore a pair of 40 carat natural iridescent diamond earrings worth $195,000, as well as an aged ivory and natural color diamond cuff worth $120,000 and a 20 carat, grey and yellow diamond cocktail ring worth $90,000. Wowsers!

Sarah Paulson wore a stunning pair of white jade earrings made from 18k yellow gold and yellow diamonds worth $85,000. She also wore multiple 18k white and yellow gold diamond caviar bangle bracelets each worth $75,000 as well as a beautiful jade diamond bangle bracelet worth $20,000.

Like Mother, Like Sister, Like Beyonce

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 15:18:29 -0700

Usually I'm not an advocate of matching outfits amongst a trio - and I'm certainly not when it comes to a couple matching outfits. But there are exceptions; there are always exceptions in fashion! Here is momma Beyonce, sister Beyonce and the diva herself at the Deréon launch in Canada. With mother and sister by Beyonce's side, the trio looks fantastic in black with gold accents. I bet they did some planning - with their no doubt Deréon wares - but I'm not complaining. It's not too obvious and they each have an individual look, as well, they are each age appropriate. However, if you had to choose a favorite look amongst the Knowles ladies, which would it be?!
