  2. F0Cused

    Bey doesnt look all glamed up in this pic… She blends in

  3. Melanie

    Wow!….40 G’s for a chair, what a waste!!! They could’ve just given that to me….lol!!! …oh by the way first!!

  4. satin

    i dont no what she is wearing or carrying …but it is nice to see her look regular and not “Stage” …u no what i mean…not in her heels..

  5. Keanu, what happened to you, Neo?

    Beyonce is everywhere. I think she has a twin b/c I don’t understand how one persona can be at all the big events.

  6. Queshia

    $40,000 on a chair? > Tax write off > I bet they donate it as a gift.

  7. LMAOO MELANIE

    LOL@#7

    YAWN, RUSSELL REMIND ME OF SOMTHING…NOT HUMAN

  8. Lenny Kravitz is so sexy.

    I read that Jigga was supposed to be buying a painting for $ 7 million.

  9. hazel eyez

    now, Bey looks nice here, that hat and bag is tha truth! I also love Keanu.

  10. Russell put your hat back on boo-boo. Damn

  11. havent seen russell in a bit. i wonder if they’re officially divorced yet?

  12. WHO WAIT NO WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT WITH RUSSELL

  13. meko

    aw…how cute, russy’s now pickin on someone his own size

  14. @Bashyboo – I don’t know if you’ve ever seen The Master Of Disguise, but Russell Simmons sure reminds me of Dana Carvey in that movie….dressed as the turtle. LOL hoooooooo—-anywho.

    Just how big is that bag Bee is carrying?

  15. $40 thou on a chair?
    I mean I know you got money but unless that chair belonged to JFK, Jackie O, or someone important then I agree with whoever said that ish was a waste.

    I can understand paying top bucks for a painting…art is a great investment if you know what you are doing.

  16. $40,000 for a chair…
    That’s a year salary for a lot of people…
    Why would someone spend $40,000 on something dumb like a chair….

  17. Meatloaf

    Lenny Kravitz is always up to something! Drugfront!

  18. jmarie

    WHY in the hell was the chair priced at 40G that’s what I want to know….

  19. DAMMIT @Such Magnificence
    I’m trying to decide on who I’m lusting after more you or Meka and then you go and change on me again!

  20. I love your new avatar Such Magnificence! ;-)

    Yeah, 40 thou on a chair is ridiculous. I would spend something like that on a work of art that would increase it’s value over time, but on a freakin’ chair — HELL NO. Celebrities really dunno what to do with their money, huh?

    Keanu always looks homeless, like those crazies on the corner preaching about eternal damnation and shit lol.

  21. Hey 1finedyme! Why not after both?

    I agree – 40Gs is too much for a chair. I certainly didn’t pay that attention when I came into the post.

    Wait a minute I’m scared of eternal damnation and shit! retracting my lusting statement now. I repent.

  22. 40 G’s for a chair. Damn they could have given that to me that would pay for my tuition for both the fall and spring semesters and I would have a few thou left over

  23. Is Ingrid Russell’s new chick? He is cheesin way to hard.

  24. It’s too late Candee you’ve already said it. You’re a bad influence I was trying to keep my lusting down to a minimum!

  26. Sharon

    I really don’t know why everyone is trippin over the 40k chair. It’s alot of money but let’s face it most of us can’t fathom what it’s like to be worth nearly a billion dollars!! Which is the combined income of B & Jay-z…so 40k to them may be 1k to us normal folks

  27. scorpion queen

    I used to like Keanu but he is looking way too crusty now!

  29. #27 I betcha won’t find Oprah, who ALONE is worth a billion, spending 40 G’s on a chair.

  30. hehe

    a lot of people are everywhere. it’s just that this site only post bey’s happenings.

    anyway, she tries hard unfortunately the class has to come from within

  31. what???????

    They look so damn bored!!! yawwwwnn chair shopping how exciting!!!

  32. I had a dream about Jay last night. He I and a whole bunch of other people flew on a private jet around the world. Seriously, but for some reason we started off in Atlanta. I would have preferred Miami, but I go where my dreams take me.

    On another note: Burlington Coat Factory sell House of Dereon Bags for $50.

    If anybody sees that famous one that looks like a Conch shell, y’all know the one that she always has and she gave one to Tyra when she was on her show………can you let a sista know.

  33. @34. oh my goodness, that is sooo frickin ironic, really, I had a dream about him 3 nights ago.

    Ingrid Casares is a Lez..She only likes Girls…

  35. It’s too late CANDEE I’m reading your thoughts I can tell what you’re thinking and I’m enjoying alot of them!

  36. ..I bet you that dumb chair cost like maybe $103.00 to make…

    They saw Bee & Jay Z coming down the aisle, and jacked the price up….

    Someone with COMMON SENSE & OLD MONEY like Oprah Winfrey, Russell Simmons, Robert Johnson or Bill Cosby would NEVER spend $40,000 on a chair..That’s just ridiculous…

    You could pay for TWO kids to go to college for a YEAR with $40,000

    That’s just wasteful….

  37. CL Family,

    Please hold the following people up in Prayer today

    MrsDawsonDN
    Wifey

    Both of our Sisters are facing some very trying circumstances on their respective jobs

    Thanks.

  38. worship

    @ Bill U disgust me. The King and Queen B can afford to buy anything they which. Just cos your crusty stank ass can’t afford shit don’t mean you can hate.

    Would love to know what kinda shit u gon buy your girl/wife/boyfriend this christmas(damn santa hat and some shit ass slippers).

    Some of y’all need to sit your skid mark ass down, cos some of you can’t even pay your bills on time. Maybe when you start earning the well deserved salary of Beyonce Knowles then you can comment on whether she’s being extravagant

  39. #35:

    Maybe you were on the jet too. The people were almost like The Loopers on here, but in person, but in my dreams…lol…if that makes any sense.

    You know how we all kinda click….somewhat……..maybe………..sometimes……ah hell….you get what I’m sayin’.

    Who is Lenny running from.

  40. wifey

    I love art, and honestly, if had millions and millions of dollars, I can’t say that I wouldn’t spend 40 G’s on a chair if the chair moved me enough…LOL

    I figure if you look at it as a percentage of income, ordinary folks drop larger percentages of their income on material things for show/pleasure, too.

  41. @41, yeah, I was flying the jet.lol, Lenny is running from a black woman.

  42. Thanks Bill. That explains the smile, he’s mentally visualizing Ingrid & Kimora getting their freak on.

  43. MissTee2U

    I would bet Bill one week’s salary that Oprah has at least one $40,000 piece of furniture in her house, chair, shit maybe a hat stand.
    People do buy pieces of artwork like Eames chairs or Arne Jacobsen chairs…

    Some folks live life on another level where a $40,000 chair is, as another poster suggested, is like what a 1,000 one means to us.

    Art as opposed to custom jewelry or cars is at least an appreciating asset….more folks should spend their money that way.

  44. wifey

    Exactly, MissTee2U.

    Kind of on the same note, can you believe a friend of mine had the nerve to tell me she had a bunch of money saved up, and then asked me should she spend it on a new car or a house???

    Girl, I really had to ask her if that was a serious question. To me, there was no (ZERO, ZILCH, NADA) question that the house was the better investment (especially since she has a baby), but she was as serious as a heart attack.

    Black folks need to learn how to make our money work for us with things that APPRECIATE like art, real estate, stocks, etc. instead of spending money on cars, jewelry, clothing and things that you could buy at 2pm on 12/23/06, and if you turned around and tried to sell it at 2:20pm on 12/23/06, you couldn’t get the full value out of it.

  45. Yeah Bee is everywhere ..NeW York, ST BArts, Miami, And now she in Beverly Hills —all in 1 week!

  46. @RUNTHESHIT..You need to get over it in a hurry.

  47. Can someone PLEASE tell me when Beyonce or Jay Z became worth $500,000,000, I would love to know?????

    As for the price of the chair, that too like art will appreciate if not sat in, anything antique you purchase is an investment.

    You can best believe if Oprah sells a chair someone will pay top dollar to have that chair Oprah had in her home.

  48. Lol at 1FINEDYME and CANDEEGURL ya’ll are a mess :-)

    Aww thank you MizzLizz…

  49. R&B Fan 4 Life

    40 Gs? Well it’s their money! Keanu, man what happened?

  50. Get over that pic…that shit is old..those surfaced back in when ashanit first came out…

    Passe

  51. dg1234

    Jay-z is worth 346mill and beyonce almost 100mill by herself. $40,000 aint shit to either one of them. They liked the chair so they bought it. What’s the big deal?

  52. #53
    Okay ty, but they’re not worth $500,000,000 a piece like I asked, like Sharon #27 said they were.

  53. SXY CHAMELEON

    IM SORRY BUT RUSSELL LOKK HELLA…”HOW U DOIN???????”

    I DONT KNOW WHY, BUT MY “GAYDAR” GOES OFF EVRYTIME I SEE HIM!! LOL

  54. SXY CHAMELEON

    LOL @#43 GRL N VA…. LENNY AINT NEVA BN W/ A SISTA HUH??/ OR HAS HE?… I DUNNO… I CANT REMEMBER… HES SXY THO. LOL!!!

  55. #56, Lenny was with Lisa Bonet…does she count?

  56. Asentha

    40 Grand on a CHAIR?!? WTF?!? Why not donate that to a worthy cause? People in Louisianna are STILL homeless from Katrina. C’mon. If I had money like that, I’d help so many needy people. Oh, well, it’s their money, so whatever.

  57. #59 that’s what I’m saying. If I had the money and the money was going towards a charity I would buy it too. I’m sorry, it’s just a chair. Maybe there should’ve been a picture of the chair for a better determination. IDK – I give up.
