MINI ROUNDUP: BEYONCE SHOWS OFF RING? / JORDIN DEFENDS PURITY RINGS
Monday, September 8, 2008
Word is Beyonce Knowles-Carter’s huge $5 million dollar ring she wore the Fashion Rock’s 5th Anniversary on Friday is the actual wedding ring Jay-Z gave her. People.com reported:
All eyes were on Beyoncé Friday night, when, for the first time, the singer publicly displayed her wedding ring on the red carpet for Fashion Rocks at Radio City Music Hall in N.Y.C.
The singer, 27, who secretly married rapper Jay-Z in April, flashed an 18 carat flawless diamond by Lorraine Schwartz, valued at more than $5 million dollars, according to the jeweler.
Neither Beyoncé nor Jay-Z have publicly confirmed their marriage but in recent weeks, Beyoncé’s younger sister Solange referred to Jay-Z as her brother-in-law during a television interview.
Big ups to Jay if that really is her wedding ring…
JORDIN DEFENDS PURITY RINGS
Speaking of rings…Jordin Sparks went off when host Russell Brand, of the VMAs made a joke about wearing one:
“I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It’s not bad to wear a promise ring,” Sparks, 18, told the crowd, off-the-cuff, “because not everybody – guy or girl – wants to be a slut.”
The American Idol winner’s comments were met by an audible cheer from the crowd….
Sparks has long spoken publicly about holding onto her virginity. She, too, wears a purity ring. SOURCE
Since when are you a slut if you don’t wear a purity ring? So you need a purity ring to hold your virginity? Nevertheless…bravo Jordin.

Beyonce is looking fly as always….but 18 carat? Got damn….Jay is real balla, a sexy one at that. (Yeah I said it)
Jordin Sparks is right. Some people actually want to wait for the first time to be special with their husbands. Atleast the girl aint afraid to say it, she’s being honest and obviously she doesn’t care what people think. I don’t like when people claim they’re Christians yet they damn right know they’re sleeping around like a mad woman. There’s more to love then just sex, just imagined if you weren’t having sex with your partner..would you love them the same? If not, break up ASAP, if yes, than good for you. Great sex can’t last forever.

I commend Jordin 4 being so courageous but, I what she said made it seem like everybody who doesn’t wear a purity ring is a slut. She should’ve worded her comment differently.

Congrats to Z and Bey, can’t wait 4 them guppie(fish) looking babies. As 4 Jordin, she should be a virgin, gonna take a giant just to climb on top,lol. Only problem I have with what she said is about every girl doesn’t want to be a slut. Why u have to be a slut because u give up the coochie-cat, hell gave minez up all the time, I’m no slut. Now a slut is my male cuzin in the military who said and I believe him that he have slept with ova 2000 women. That boy is a hoe to the bone. 5 kids by 5 different women outside his marriage and dumbazz wife still with him. Let me tell ya, ain’t that much luv and good dic in the world to make me stay, that’s just low self esteem, period…………………..

#76 reality check sweetie about that hubby shyt being the first time, which nothing is wrong with that. What if hubby is her first, but she isn’t his first and he’s walking around with HIV or herpes? Have auntie who works in a clinic and she said ova 90% percent of females that comes in there with some kind of disease or HIV got it from their hubbies. Not their bf’s or some man on the street, but the luvs of their lives, so being a virgin doesn’t make u special, just means ur azz betta be careful and wiser.

@42..
If you’re meaning Masturbation then yes because you aint actually “Having Sex”. Well, I don’t know what laws and rules Jordin goes by but if it’s because she’s Christian then no because the bible talks out agaisnt masturbating.
@74..
PUHLEASE!! You and your little bitcherest JSCENE just LOVE making up new things to hate on Beyonce. I know you’re taking it hard that Rihanna posts aren’t posted every 2 minutes anymore, but just relax and hang in there, that’s what her fansites are for. AND why do you and your Rihanna clique keep finding the most pathetic things to say about Bey? When the marriage rumors came around y’all where spitting fire because they wouldn’t “confirm” (like it’s any of our business anyways) their wedding. THEN y’all blew fumes because they wouldn’t “wear rings”. NOW they wear the rings but you say she’s wearing it because she needs attention. Weren’t you the one just crying about her NEVER wearing her ring but now that she does she “needs attention.” STFD!!

Tianna did you even watch the show? Because you’d know the reason why she made the comment. People are bashing her and dont even know the entire story.
It seems as though a lot of you are getting into your feelings regarding Jordin’s comment. She was responding to the hosts negative comments towards the Jonas Brothers. He was ridiculing them for being virgins, and she was merely standing up for them. To a lot of people their virginity is a serious issue. Don’t knock her down for standing up for something that’s positive.
And people wonder why Black Americans have the highest rate of HIV infections in the country and have statistics that mirror certain African countries. The US leads all other developed countries in the incidences of pregnancy involving teens. SMDH

@82..
What I was saying is that they want their husbands to be virgins along with them. I know men who are virgins that want to marry a virgin and I know ladies that are virgins and want to marry a virgin. And that is exactly why it is better to WAIT and get tested and SEE your partners HIV/AIDS test before you sleep with them. That is why a lot of woman only have sex with their long time boyfriends and have seen their papers. If you meet a guy at a club and sleep with him, you know absolutely nothing about him..that’s why it is better to WAIT. What’s the rush?? You can also get HIV/AIDS, herpes with your husband even though you weren’t celibate.

I commend Jordin for her comment- I don’t think she was trying to put anyone down or insenuate “You’re a slut unless you wear a purity ring”. The host was trying to knock the young cats for wanting to maintain their virginity and as heavy peer pressure can be in the life of our teens- I think Jordin’s comment was very much justified. Good for her and for anyone that wants to maintain their purity- We all know MTV does nothing to promote purity in any way!

Of course Beyonce is showing off her ring. She is getting ready to release her new CD and she has two movies coming out. It is publicity. Get ready for Beyonce overload again. This girl just loves attention.

Russell is funny. I didn’t even watch the show, but dude got jokes.
Bey’s ring is hot. That’s how she do. I don’t even know if that’s her wedding ring…I kind of doubt it is to be honest but hey, the rock is massive.
And I don’t think Jordin meant any disrespect to anyone who isn’t a virgin before marriage, she was just voicing her opinion and more power to her for that.

@ #56 ROTFLMAO!!!!!! That was funny!!! I just got my teeth whitend and that shit does wonders for you!!!! As for the JS comment about purity rings, sluts, etc. She should have phrased that a little better… I aint mad @ her for what she said but I think using the word slut was a bit much and disgusting coming from a female. As for Russell Brand, the VMA host, he was just being funny… All the host on the VMA’s are trying to be funny, I think it was pretty neat and different to have him on the show, I actually thought he was the most entertainging of the whole show. I’m out peeps, I got a booty– I mean a purity meeting I have to attend…. lol
Love and peace from sunny San Diego, CA!!!!

I I was wondering why Jordan came out of nowhere with that comment but I think if she wants to remain a virgin then good for her. We need a teenager like that when we out her glorifying Jamie Lynn and other teenage pregnancies. She is to be applauded for standing up like that and letting other teenagers know it’s another way to go other than giving away all your goodies. As for Bey the rock is stunning and of course these women gon hate they can’t find a man to buy them a ring worth 1,000 dollars let alone understanding and congratulating a sista who’s getting one worth millions. Then be the first ones to come on her post saying who cares about her. You do dummies or you would bypass her post like I do when someone has a post on here I’m not interested in. And to the person who said they not Bobby and Whitney seek help immediately. You are a disturbed simple person.

poor haters

#96 go kill yourself because you sound dumb as hell.
You actually rely on comments on blogs as confirmation? ROTFLMAO!!!!! It’s mostly the same people commenting on every blog.
If comments on blogs are an indication of people not liking celebs then every celebrity would be in trouble right now.
TBeyonce has millions of fans all around the world. She made 80 million last year with no album out. You really think negative comments on blogs are affecting her career? ROTFLMAO!!!!!! Every celeb gets negative comments on blogs, and most people dont even get on blogs. Beyonce is the most talked about and most popular black female artist period. I highly doubt lonely people hating on blogs will affect any celebrity’s fanbase. Please sit down.
As for the idiot going on and on about her teeth, get out her mouth and worry about your own teeth. You are the only idiot commenting on her teeth because we all know Beyonce has straight white teeth. LMAO at you hateing on Beyonce teeth. Pathetic.
And LMAO at the 2 idiots who said Beyonce is doing this for attention, when whever she walks down the damn street, it makes headline news.GTFOH. The last celeb on Earth who needs attention is Beyonce. Everybody knows she gets attention even when she dont want it.
Seriously Beyonce haters, some of you need a serious reality check. The fact that you are even commenting on her in the first place speaks for itself. Me personally, I never comment on people I dont like.
Beyonce haters=biggest Beyonce stans.LMAO

@ 99 - that ish was hilarious right?! lolol!
beyonce’s ring is a beaut. i don’t think we can actually see how nice it is in this pic. i’m sure that sucka is a blinder.
jordin is a thick girl - nothing wrong with it at all - but i don’t think that dress is most flattering on her. cute colors though. as far as what she said - i like her standing up for what she believes in. the word slut is a little strong, but hell, if the shoe fits! Lol!

Jay Z verse in Upgrade You said exactly what happened gearing up towards their wedding……
Jacob the jeweler, baubles, Lorraine Schwartz(her 18th carat ring is made by her) sorta dude
It’s big balling baby when I’m courting you
I’m talking spy bags and fly pads and rooms at the Bloomberg (that’s where some of their family stayed for the wedding, rememebr that pic of Solange walking out of the Bloomberg)
And rumors you on the verge of a new merge
‘Cause that rock on ya finger is like a tumor
You can’t fit ya hand in ya new purse
It’s humorous to me they watching
And we just yachting off the island hopping off
Amalfi coast
If you want to see a better pic of the ring here ya go…..

She seemed to take the whole issue way too seriously.

Obviously Jordin didn’t mean 4 the comment 2 come out like that. She’s tired of defending her virginity, but pple r taking it way out of context, she’s just trying 2 say that its ok 2 be a virgin & is tired of being scrutinized 4 it. Everybody should chill, we all know that not wearing a promise ring doesn’t make you a slut, sometimes when ppl say things out of anger, they come out different than they were intended to, Jordin is human too, so relax everyone.

Beyonces ring is flawless.
Rings don’t mean anything… its just showing off that youre abstinate (spelling lol). She should have chose better wording…or she might feel that way. But just because you have premarital sex does not mean your a slut…you can be with1 person all your life and never get married
