The New York Daily News and People Magazine are reporting that Beyoncé will join forces with legendary entertainer Tina Turner for a performance at the Feb. 10 Grammy Awards.
News of the duet comes just one day after the Writers Guild of America announced it will not picket the awards show – clearing the way for stars to attend the Los Angeles ceremony.
TICHINA READS CONCRETE LOOP
Essence.com chatted with actress Tichina Arnold recently and the subject of blogs came up. Check out what she said.
Essence.com: A few Black actresses criticized the Black female bloggers regarding the comments and rumors they’ve made about them. Do you explore the blogosphere and read what they’re saying about you?
T.A.: Yes, I love them! I think they are hilarious especially concreteloop.com. I really don’t get offended by what they say. I remember one time I went to this event and I thought I was decked out. I think my stylist was unavailable and I dressed myself, I can’t remember, but you couldn’t tell me I wasn’t looking good and they said something like, ‘We love Tichina, but she looks like Boy George!’ and I looked at the picture and thought, Damn, I do look like Boy George and I just fell out because to me it’s all about comedy. Another blog said I had chest hairs and I’m like, They trippin’! I look good and I don’t have no damn chest hairs (laughs)!’ Most of the times when the media decides to talk about me I’m like, I don’t care what the hell they say as long as my picture looks good. But it’s only when the comments gets vicious that I can understand where folks are coming from about the negativity and hate, but I just don’t take myself that seriously. I love reading the blogs!

That’s wassup. I’m still trying to find what post she was talking about. lol.
VANESSA SIMMONS HITS THE STAGE
Vanessa Simmons has recently been added to the cast of J Kyle Manzay’s Off-Broadway comedy The Actor’s Rap!, set to run January 31st through March 1st at the Baruch Performing Arts Center.
The entertainment world has become familiar with Vanessa through the popular reality show based on her family’s life, Run’s House, just picked up for a fifth season on MTV.
The Actor’s Rap! is a hip-hop infused farce — where pop culture meets satire – that cleverly examines the downward spiral of an African-American actor who begins to lose roles – and girlfriends – to a famous rapper-turned-actor. Click here for more info.
P.S. Mariah Carey writes alot of her songs, but doesnt write for anyone else so that just proved that dumb theory WRONG!
#241 your wrong because she wrote her group ALURE when they were out. I had to get that out of the way because i love music i’ve been lookin into music every since i was 7 years old. SO ask me anything about music.An on the beyonce thing no i’m not a fan.Why? to me shes selfish&fake.BUT TO EVERYONE HERE YALL HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY WHAT U WANT ABOUT HER. WHY U ASK BECAUSE THE STAN ON HERE IS PAYIN HER BILLS BY BUYIN HER STUFF & THE PEOPLE THAT DONT LIKE HER IS KEEPIN HER NAME IN THE GAME BY SPEAKING HER NAME SO SAY WHAT U WANT ITS YOUR RIGHT……………….HOW U THINK BUSH WON THE SECOND TIME AROUND
I dont know how da hell Bush ass won…lol! But you have ur opinion and about the Mariah Carey thing, I having been that into her so i dont know nuthing about Allure!
I agree with your comment: WHY U ASK BECAUSE THE STAN ON HERE IS PAYIN HER BILLS BY BUYIN HER STUFF & THE PEOPLE THAT DONT LIKE HER IS KEEPIN HER NAME IN THE GAME BY SPEAKING HER NAME
But My last question is how do you know she’s selfish and fake???
Welcome to the board, Jackie Jay. I hope you stay and school these haters! LOL Just be prepared because it will get even more hectic come Feb. 10.
Girl get it together. Is Bey paying your bills boo? LOL Is your last name Knowles? LOL Your really up in here acting like your on the payroll honey. It’s not that serious. Mariah did write for Allure so that blows hole sin that theory. Also I don’t think 239 was really downing her. She’s gonna do big things is what he/she said. I do think she is over-exposed and anyone who has ever been popular ,not even in the game, know that over-exposure is death. Take a break make the public want you even more while you disappear for awhile. Last time I checked no one commenting on CL posts these blogs of B so I’m not one of those bloggers. Wth that said I am looking forward to the performance to see Tina. @242 she is fake to me as well. She’s a marketing tool and a swagger jacker. There have been plenty of performances and videos that lack her own creative vision but instead use someone else’s( get me bodied anyone)? but that is neither here nor there because no matter what anyone says, you or I boo, Bey is checking her bank balance everyday giggling it up. So you can continue to fight for her and I’m sure you’ll get a signed picture one day for all your hard work.
@245
SINCE YOU’RE CHECKIN ON BEY SO HARD AND CALLING HER A SWAGGER JACKER, YOU NEED TO ALSO MENTION KEYSHIA COLE (MJB), CIARA (JANET), JANET (MICHAEL), NE-YO/OMARION/USHER/CHRIS B. (MICHAEL), JILL SCOTT (ERYKAH B.), ETC. ETC…
MY POINT.. FIND ME SOMEONE WHO ISN’T, THEN YOUR POINT JUST MAY BE VALID. YOU SINGLE HER OUT AS IF IT SHE DOESN’T GIVE EVERYTHING SHE DOES THAT SIGNATURE BEYONCE STAMP..
WHOS SWAGGER ARE YOU JACKING HUN, BECAUSE I’M SURE THERE ISN’T MUCH ORIGINAL ABOUT U BOO?? LMAO…
OH YEA, AND MICHAEL SWAGGER JACKED THE HELL OUT OF JAMES BROWN, SO SINGLE HIM OUT TOO HATER..
THE TRUTH: Were Beyonce to see any of you haters or stans coming her way, she’d put Security out on that ass.
Stans, she already told you that the closest you will ever get to her is THROUGH HER B’PHONE. And also, for those of you calling her “Bee” or “B” know that she said ONLY HER CLOSE FAMILY AND FRIENDS CALL HER THAT…and I seriously doubt all of you ARE NEITHER. 
WHATS YOUR POINT DELMAR?
DO YOU FEEL VINDICATED THAT YOU’VE SHARED WITH US THAT TIDBIT OF INFO??
LMAO..
I find it amazing that all these haters keep calling Bee a “swagger jacker.” Is she really the ONLY artist out there who is influenced by those before her. So I guess Ciara, Cassie, Ashanti, Rihanna, etc. are all some of the most original artists out now, right? NOT! Anyways, like someone said, we can keep talking all we want while Beyonce is making that paper and sashaying across the stage at the Grammys. At least she has accomplished plenty at such a young age. What have yall accomplished in your own lives? You don’t really have to like her or anything, but at least give props when they are due. I mean what’s the point of hatin’ so much on someone you don’t know when she is going to continue to succeed and get even bigger and even more respect from the industry. Will yall ever get it??
You guys got it twisted. Beyonce is not influenced by those before her that is why we call her a swagger jacker. Michael may have borrowed from James but Michael is michael and you’ll never confuse him for James and as much as you wanna confuse Janetand Michael you can’t either. They’re family so of course they’ll look similar, speak similar, and have similar attributes. CEEJAYDA and Jill Scott Erykah BAdu? Boo because they both do neo-soul doesn’t mean she stole Erykah’s show. When your perfomances, routines, videos, etc look like a whole era of another artist with a “Beyonce twist” you swagger jacked plain and simple. I’m just staing what I saw. Is that going to stop me from getting myself bodied? Hell no! Will i still get my freakum dress on? Hell yes! So why your trying to scream thu the computer with your caps lock on at people who don’t feel every single thing beyonce has done is “legendary” you need to breathe before you give yourself a stroke. @DELMAR LOL hilarious securtiy would be in that ass! lol Oh one more thing CEEJAYDA Why are you trying to personally attack people boo? We’re discussing Beyonce’s style we’re not talking about her on a personal level she’s a star and that comes with the territory. So once again take a breath and stop punching them keys so hard, I know equipment is hard to come by honey. LOL Get lost in it LOL
Oh yeah and that signature Beyonce stamp is: spinning my floor length weave and rolling around on the floor. I say her signature stamp is when she opens her mouth to sing that is her stamp. Even though there really isn’t any depth you sit up because if nothing else the bitch has breath control.lol So go join Jackie Jay and Mimi on Miss. Knowles payroll and get your autographed pic for all your troubles lol
Love Beyonce! She’s super talented and raises the bar with all she does. She’s any inspiration and a trendsetter that I can’t get enough of. I don’t support many, but Beyonce’s a true artist.
I must comment on “Team Ride Beyonce’s Coatail”. I could care less about Beyonce..as stated she does work hard to attain her success but she hurts others in the process..and she is uneducated how many degrees does she have…if she wasnt successful what would she have to fall back on???/what was rude about that…and those are my opinions about her.in case some of you have forgotten an opinion is the way that a person might feel..regardless on whether or not it is fact or false..It is okay to be a fan of an artist but spending all day on blog sites defending them is a little bit nutty…At the end of the day BEYONCE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ALL OF YOU STALKERS I MEAN “DIE HARD FANS”…WHILE YOURE SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY BUYING SOME CD..SHES VACATIONING ON SOME ISLAND..NOT GIVING A DAMN ABOUT ANY OF YOU..WAKE UP MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND START SPENDING YOUR MONEY ON THINGS THAT ACTUALLY DESERVE IT…
To all of those bloggers who commented on my opinions I have nothing against you because they are only opinions and i respect that..but there is one that stood out to me………….
SMILEYTODD?-your screen name says it all…you must be some high schooler with way too much free time on your hands…HOW DARE YOUR CALL ME A BITCH FOR SIMPLY STATING MY OPINION..AND THEN YOU ATTACK THE GREAT ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY INCORPORATED….WHAT FRATERNITY ARE YOU A MEMBER OF LOSER PHI LOSER??YOUR IGNORANT COMMENTS JUST PROVE ONLY ONE THING…U NEED ATTENTION BADLY….THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK..AS STATED IM A WIFE AND MOTHER SO THATS WHERE MY ENERGY GOES..NOT CARING ABOUT SOME CELEBRITY WHO COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ME OR YOU>>>
ONCE AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOU HATERS…HAPPY 100TH ANNIVERSARY TO ALL MY SORORS………………….SKEE WEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope Bejaja breaks a leg. Tina Turner is a legend and Bejaja will never be able to get on that level.
whenever theres a Beyonce thread they should just end it with annnnd go!
and watch all the jabberjawed monkeymouthed females go at it LORD!!!
HELP EM’
anyways Im looking foward to the performance both women are exciting to watch and I have never really seen a Tina performance , and everytime I think about her I just have images of Angela Basset running in my head ,
adn to JOI-i must admitt there are some psychos on the blog sites HATERS AND STANS ALIKE-but after reading ur post I dont think I like u very much
I mean the stans crying for b is no more maniacal then ur brainwashed ALPHA PHI WHO GIVES A FUCK dribble, maybe because after reading ur post u seem so transparent so easy to disect , so Ive concluded the following
#1-Ur a narrow-minded conformist hence the sorority and the fact u have to keep reminding everyone that ur a WIFE-yey for u but everyone does not marry the !st gut that felt her up
Hola
whata crazy weather, i dont like such things
bye all

realorgasms
Beyonce is such a great live performer. She definitely held her own against Prince and I’m sure she’ll do the same with Tina. I hope she gets to perform solo too. Her performances are the highlight of any award show she’s on.
OMG TINA AND BEYONCE, THAT WILL BE HISTORY AND A JOY FOR ME. I LOVEEEEEEEEE ABSOLUTELY LOVE TINA TURNER, MY MA USE TO PLAY HER SONGS FOR ME WHEN I WAS A BABY AND EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT BEE IS MY GIRL…….WHAT I KNOW THEY GONNA RIP THAT STAGE APART. NOBODY WON’T BE ABLE TO PERFORM AFTER THAT ONE.
I know Beyonce have been waiting for this day all her life lol. Go tina go tina go tina lol
Because people constantly associate Beyonce with top stars, she think she is all that.Kelly Rowland is all that and more.
heard Vanessa’s going to be in two movies this year. and new season of Run’s House starts July 16 HOLLA
Cheers!
xxoxo

Thank you for your site
I love Bey. She has done her thing, and so far she has kept a clean slate, not everybody can do that. Every “celebrity” anyway.
l love you tihina
