Kanye West and Jamie Foxx performed at a party in Denver, Colorado on Wednesday night sponsored by Bono’s ONE anti-poverty campaign and the Recording Industry Association of America.
The event drew celebrities including Forest Whitaker and Ashley Judd, who arrived with Foxx waving an American flag. Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey, former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and former South Dakota Sen. Tom Daschle also walked the red carpet.
“It’s an incredible time to be around. I wish my momma could have seen this day,” Kanye said as he spoke about Barack Obama being the first African-American Democratic Nominee.
Jamie Foxx then joined West onstage and delivered what was easily the strangest Obama song dedication at this week’s Democratic National Convention.
“We make history, man,” Foxx declared at the ONE campaign party. “With Obama, we make history. If you ready for Obama, make some noise. Yo man, let’s do this for Obama.” [VIEW VIDEO OF CELEB ARRIVALS]
DIDDY on the gas prices
Diddy, who is no stranger to controversy has been getting some backlash for his recent blog about the high gas prices. The media mogul says he has to pay too much to fill up his private jet, so he is forced to fly commercial. A lot of bloggers and youtube viewers jumped on him for his statements, which prompted him to leave a new updated message:
Attention all media and hate bloggers. This blog is just me making a joke about gas prices. Loosen up.

BEYONCE & MAMA KNOWLES SPEAK ON SOLANGE
Beyonce and Tina Knowles did a special interview with The Early Show on Thursday and spoke about how proud they were of Solange. Peep the video.
Diddy is just foolish to me.
Money can buy you a lot of things, but Diddy proves it can’t buy you CLASS.
awwww that was soooo MF sweet, which is why i
friggin
LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE
QUEEN B!
Havent seen a Beyonce interview in a while. Typical Beyonce.
i actually think the diddy thing was funny LOL
- I aint mad at Diddy!! How can you be mad at him?? Thats real shit! Gas prices R
too damn high!! And if his rich ass is complaining u know damn well we got
a problem! But Obama’s here to fix it!!!
Vote Obama 2008!!!
awww BEYONCE LOOKING RIGHT!
aww, it’s good to see my girl bey on tv again, i don’t care what nobody says she’s my idol for real
right on wit diddy about the damn gas prices. seriously if celebrities worth over 500 million dollars are complaining, there is a damn problem!!
LOL Man Diddy my dude!! He is too funny but hes speaking the truth!! Thats the funniest thing I have heard today!! lmbo!!
its amazing how money can’t buy you class, etiquette, decorum, speech lessons. just wow!!!
can i just say first off that i love concreteloop i just clicked away 4 a second and it was updated lol u stay workin!! erm how scary in tina omg she looks like an evil witch n beyonce sounded stupid as usual i just dnt think she interviews well i was also unconvinced with solanges explanation of the incident u shudda just apologised n said u thought it was live. she gettin a bit 2 big 4 her britches talkin about she’d consider a duet with beyonce when she is the bigger star she should be lucky b wants 2 duet with her at all
GO BEYONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO SOLANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
THE QUEEN BEE RETURNS SEPTEMBER 12TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
******Beyonce, Solange, & Mama Knowles- Family is such a beautiful thing!
******Diddy- Disgusting!
Ok. I haven’t even watched the Beyonce interview yet but I already know what they’re gonna say: Solange is different, she speaks her mind. We know, we know (rolling my eyes). They need to give this Solange image thing a rest. True artists don’t need images. Images are for those whose music/talent isn’t strong enough to stand on its own.
Damn, Beyonce is beautiful. Even the lady interviewing her is looking at her like damn u gorgeous!..lol
What are they talking about? Solange and Bee have already done a duet on Solange’s last album. They did a song called “Naive.” Liars…smh
How beautiful! I love Solange!
i aint mad at diddy!! the fact is gas prices are high n diddy shows that it aint jus affecting the lay man only but erbody!!
go beyonce! luv yah gal
to #14
i’m sorry but that was dumb as hell
michael jackson had an image
Beyonce has an image
Diana Ross and The Supreme’s had an image
Prince has an image
should i keep going??
YEAH, SOLANGE IS OUTSPOKEN. JUST WATCH HER ACTIONS ON TMZ WITH THE NEWS REPORTER. BEYONCE IS SUCH A POSITIVE PERSON.
#14 has a point but #19 theres a different between a artist like prince, mj and the list goes on who dont need an image because they have talent with or without an image, they can actually sing or dance. Entertainers such as beyonce, ciara, rihanna, were groomed to be who they are therefore they have a image.
Here we go again wiith my comments not posting
I think Beyonce meant in this present day she wants to work with solange but solange is not down to do and Why should she do a duet with your idol the perfect beyonce just because you stans worship the ground she walks on. Who cares about what beyonce? That shit don’t mean nothing when you get to heaven (if she gets there) Solo can’t be worrying about Beyonce. She’s trying to do her own thing. She don’t need beyonce screaming over not damn track and calling it singing aka B-day!
why are my comments awaiting moderation?
Good to See Beyonce back on T.V cant wait for the album
. Solange I bought the album the day it came out, and I am really enjoying it, However! It seems a little odd to me that Solange is always screaming at the top of her lungs that she is NOT just beyonces little sister and to not tie her into her sister. Yet this whole interview was about Beyonce talkin about Solange..before Solange went on stage. I have no problem with Family Support. Big ups to it, but even though this is the first interview Beyonce did about her it seems a little contradictary. You cant one second Holla about Getting out of ya sister shadow and then the nexy allow them to do a whole interview with her about you. Im just sayin!
Also like #14 said ‘Images are for those whose music/talent isn’t strong enough to stand on its own.’ like beyonce, ciara, rihanna..the list goes on.. people with talent can go without such as prince or mj.
Its just a big difference is what Im trying to say from artist who need a image to survive in the industry to those who dont because they have talent. Its sad to see people like beyonce who have the image and people like i.e. christina aguleria who can SANG not SING without an image get no air time.
next*
I am laughing my ass off at the comment made about Beyonce being a positove person! Did some of you stans forget how Beyonce used to act in that first year folling the Destiny’s Child break-up, this heffa was cutting Kelly off telling her not to speak of old members, calling toya tone deaf, and rolling her eyes as in every damn video. Youtube it! At least I can respect that Solange is coming out of the gate making no apologizes for who she is. (I wouldn’t change who I am to sell records, if you like me you like me and if you don’t fuck you too) She’s like take or leave it and not prentending to be holier than thou like Robotic Bey.
Please that bitch Christina does have an image. She tried to do that I’m a bad girl wearing buttless chaps and kissing Madge on Mtv thing before she had a baby. Don’t get it twisted everyone on this earth has image. Question: Do you act with your boss that way you would with your friends? No (hopefully not) Then that’s your IMAGE at work.
Okay, so that was what…….10 years ago with the whole DC thing. Get over that ish please. I wonder what people would say about you if they compared your attitude at 18/19 to yours as a 26 year old woman. Come on now, be real, siht changes, people change and mature. So that comment is true now, she is a positive woman now.
……i saw this interview same shit diffrent day .. bey weave was so fake they kept doing back shots the naps in the top the hunch in the back tacky tacky solo needs to shut up before she fuck up a free lunch lolol
AT Brittany Jay…I said that to made a point that Solange now is only a fews years old then Bey was then and I don’t think that people should jump down her throat when bey was the same way at that young age. Give Solo time!
Diddy is going to make me slap the bitchassness out of him.
Go Ye and Jamie
My girl Bee nice to see her and the fam
I am not understanding how ppl says Bee has no talent but anyways
Speak on it Lisa I am a Christina fan but all artist have an image.
Oh I agree with you, my comment was more aimed at #28. Just because Beyonce isn’t as outspoken as Solange doesn’t mean that she’s “holier than thou” or “robotic”, it just means they’re different. I have four sisters and we are all different, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell were sisters if you didn’t already know. It is possible for people to be complete opposites, and it’s okay. No need to diss one to big-up another tho.
Heeeeyyyyy Bey Bey!!
love the beyonce video…i can’t freakin’ wait for her new album.
i’m obsessed with cosmic journey off of solange’s new album
their both very talented ladie
Bey is so “special olympics” sometimes but I love her regardless.
Interviewer:
“Superstar Beyonce has top the charts for years, as you know, now her sister Solange is breaking through with a release of her second album, Sol-Angel & The Hadely Street Dreams. I sat down with a very proud Beyonce, and thier mom, Tina Knowles in this exclusive interview. ”
Beyonce:
“It brings me to tears when I watch her. She’s grown up so much and she’s like my….baby. And um, she’s such an incredible songwriter, so creative, and she’s not afraid to be an individual and to speak her mind. She had that star quality and that big….presence even at 5.
Interviewer:
“And that’s okay with you….”
Beyonce:
“Oh, it was ALWAYS okay with me, that’s my baby.”(Laughter)
Interviewer:
“Was there between the two of them always singing in the house all the time?”
Tina Knowles:
“All the time.” (While Beyonce giggles) “Making up dance routines….”(Beyonce cuts her off)….
Beyonce:
“Harmonizing.”
Tine Knowles:
“Putting on shows, nobody wanted to come to my house.”
I’m amazed how completely clueless CL readers are.
Michael Jackson wasn’t groomed to be who he is? Have you seen The Jackson 5 movie? Have you heard Michael Jackson complain about how he didn’t have a childhood because Joe made them practice for hours and hours? Oh ok. Beyonce and Solange WANTED to be in this business. They both tell stories about how they would go and sing in their mom’s shop and for pretty much anyone who would willingly (or unwillingly) listen when they were like 5 or 6. No one pushed them into this.
As far as bringing up that OLD story about DC, I really wish ya’ll would find some new material. If people were blaming you for something without knowing the full story, wouldn’t you be pissed too? If all the former members have let it go, why the hell can’t you? I don’t think you are jealous of Beyonce and all that other stuff people say about non-stans, but I do believe there is some hate or malice in you towards a person you don’t even know. And that isn’t a good thing. You don’t have to like her music or her image but damn can she live? It’s like she can’t do ANYTHING right. Everyone has critics and you all get on the stans for their EXTREME love and I think it’s time to start calling people out for their EXTREME hate. Both sides are pointless.
With that being said, I bid you all a good night.
amen to #40.
beyonce is the hottest chick in the game so of course she is going to have haters. that comes with the territory.
when people STOP hateing on her, that’s when she should get worried.
i do not like jamie foxx, ugh..
solange i liked you better before this whole album stuff, still got love though…im sorry but beyonce still SUCKS at interviews after all these damn years
I find it funny that Diddy said he was flying coach when clearly he sat down in a first class seat. lol
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND ADORE THE KNOWLES WOMEN (Tina, Beyonce, and Solange)…. just beautiful authentic women!!! STOP HATING PPL… you wish you had it like they do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beyonce:
“Uh, so many things.” (Rolls eyes) (Tina chuckles)
Interviewer:
“What is she like a..at home? Like..”
Beyonce:
(Says Very fierce and Loud) “UM, I’ve always been a little more quiet, and um, I was the big sister so I always protected her. And she’s always been the one that, demanded the attention.”
Interviewer:
“How much credit do you give to this lady sitting next to you for who you and your siter are?”
Beyonce:
“Oh, my mother is, the ultimate mother” (Looking on the groound like a rat ran by)
****TINA & BEYONCE START DANCING TO “I DECIDED”****
Beyonce:
“She’s instilled so many value’s in my sister an I. She definitely has, you know, taught us the importance of the beauty, um, the inside. And it’s, sh..she shows us by examples.”
Beyonce:
(On Solange) “She’s written a lot of songs on my new album (YES CAN’T WAIT) that’s coming out. But, I’d LOVE TO DO A SONG WITH HER (About to crack up laughing) but she’s like..NO (Funny face)”
Interviewer:
“Are you kidding me?”
Beyonce:
“She won’t, not yet, it’s great and I have to respect it.”(LAUGHTER)
Interviewer:
“You have to beg….”
Beyonce:
“I have to beg!!” (Ha Ha’s)
Interviewer:
“Where do you see you and your sister in, 10 years?”
Beyonce:
“Ten years, wow. I think my sister will be this amazing song writer and continue to be an amazing performer. And she’s a mother first, so I’m sure by then, you know, even though I’m in absolutely NO (making sure that’s clear) rush, um, I’ll have children and I’ll be asking her all of the questions about parenting and we’ll be just as close, as we are now.”
Solange:
“Because we’re worth it.”
Beyonce:
“Yes we are.”
I thought the Diddy thing was hilarious. LOL He can be annoying, but as much as he likes to floss, it’s nice to see that he uses SOME financial sense sometimes. LOL
what a f***ing azzhole! People are out there starving and he is bragging about how he doesn’t want to pay for gas. He should be flying on a regular commercial flight like everyone else, TO HELP THE ENVIRONMENT, oh….secure jobs too. Wow!
Great interview I love the fact that this family sticks together and always support each other. And Tina please get some sun it ain’t right for a black woman to be that damn pale and pasty looking
I have to say that the Knowles family make me laugh “she’s written a lot of songs of my new album”
Now, whilst i like Beyonce music (until the last album) and the Solange album if you look n the credits there names (bar a few times) are usually very far down the line on writers, but always talking as if they did write the whole song. They need t give props to people when due.
Beyonce really should go back to the darker hair/wig/weave and think about a style change.
Shay Monae,
Was their any reason in particular you felt the need to write a word for word transcript of the interview complete with the inflections of how they said everything, especially when the videos right above the comments ? You feel better now having done that ……
HE IS JUST A CHEAP BASTARD.OH that was just a joke…NOT!!!
SOLANGE OVER IT!!!
oh so you can’t find the money to buy gas for your jet I feel you diddy because I dont have enough money to put in my car – no wait I dont even OWN a car because gas prices are too high shit I dont even have enough money to take the bus anymore.. I walk to work Diddy… I walk.
I feel him i cant fly my private jet neither because of these dam gas prices im flyin commercial 2morrow now i gotta sit next 2 these sick ass people. Diddy is the coolest man alive dont 4get that losers b4 u start talking down on him.
THE GREAT 1
AT 53, DIDDY GET OFF CONCRETE LOOP. U SUCK ASS,
BUT ON A SERIOUS TIP I KNOW THAT WAS A JOKE BUT SOME PPL REALLY CANNOT GET TO WORK BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD GAS
People are funny. Knowing good and hell well that if they could afford a private jet they would have one as well. I can’t be mad at Diddy for his money or how he chooses to spend it. After all he WORKED for it…he didn’t always have it so easy. But people think cause you got money you ain’t supposed to enjoy it and the luxuries that can come along with it. If thats the case, then what the heck is the point in having it? Nearly everybody wishes they had that kind of paper…and you’d be a liar if you said that you didn’t want to enjoy any luxuries with it. All that and I ain’t even no big Diddy fan…but dang…let the man do him cause if you had it you’d do it too.
Diddy is HIGH-LARIOUS! When I saw that video I just had to laugh. At least he was (to some extent) keeping it real about them high gas prices.
Solange, I don’t care what your beautiful sister or mama have to say about you. You lost possible fans after that interview. But at least you have you sister (coat tail) to lean on.
The people who say that Beyonce is a horrible interview doesn’t realize that most people in showbiz know the questions before their asked & so they are prepared to give answers… so what you are witnessing with Beyonce is someone who is answering questions in the moment & from the heart. So she might have to go into her memory bank to get the answers to the questions asked which will cause eye rolling & a few umms here & there. I would also like to say, don’t hate the player, hate how you play the game.
Diddy was sitting in first class. Shut up Diddy!!
Beyonce is pretty, solange, tina, pimp daddy knowles, they wouldnt be anywhere if it wasnt for beyonce!! REAL TALK
Thanks *monae* for that word for word! (some people can’t listen at work)Like myself. Anyway I def agree wit #8. Go and search youtube for Bey old interviews and see how her attitude was back in the day. She used to run them girls!!LOL But now wit time and money she calmed down and proberly took some media training and she acts like an perfect young lady. But I personally like Solo. KEEP IT CUTE GIRL!!
please go some where and sit yo ass down diddy…joke or not…just go sit down.
As far as Solange goes the entertainment industry isn’t for everyone, but I guess she wants to make her mark, but to me she is trying to be so different and it’s all forced and fake to me. Being different means being you, and I don’t get that from her.
