  1. Stacey

    im sure she has problems like any normal couple,of course its worser because her realtionship is in the public eye they were having problems before they got married ,didnt have a child that was like a hush ,hush from the public he doing a Diddy move watch more come out the bushes. Jay isnt husband material in my opinion but hey people do change, and Beyonce has a fake persona to her she’s isnt likeable to the public when she giving interviews.

  2. Michelle

    If you listen to her music you know he’s cheated on her. thats all she sings about is being cheated on, done wrong or trying to keep a man through having sex! I don’t feel sorry for beyonce its not like she’s a kid. She is much older than she’s been pretening to be. She’s a fake and her relationship with jay is exactly what she signed up for…

  3. blue

    they dont look so happy during that game

  4. Ebbie

    i know they say ‘black don’t crack’ but ms. etta looks like a creature. she wasn’t necessarily a hottie when she was young, but she didn’t age too gracefully. call me a hater but you know it’s true!

  5. LOL

    Its not hating my ass, so could you just comment on the damn pix and move on instead of talkin salty of every detail of her marriage? IDIOTS, I saw those 2 at the game last night, theyve been foolin for a long time now, the rumors since 2003, arent you just tired? GET A DAMN LIFE ppl! no matter what youre going to say they wont read this all this and they live their lives HARD, each day for them must feel like heaven, they are so rich, they dont even care about yall being here potin, why spendin your time hating? LMAO I would never understand this

    @ 234 Kenny

    What you said about Jay physically abusing Bey, I highly doubt it and I sincerely hope not, but if he does I hope she kicks him in the nuts and throw some hot grits on his azz. And better yet, just leave. She should not tolerate any type of abuse, physically or mentally. That goes for any other woman out there.

  7. blue

    you know that song stand by me
    beyonce should make a song called stan by me

  8. Ara

    @244 EBBIE

    Ms Etta James is blessed to still be living, messing with that heroin, that shyt ain’t no joke.

  9. Ara

    @ 234 Kenny

    The tone of your comment sounds like you condone physical abuse ….

  10. myopia

    For a minute there I thought Etta James was Miss Tina.

    Where did you hear about Jay beating up Beyonce?

  11. myopia

    I do find it odd that her mother is with her more than her own husband. I give this marriage no more than five years. Two powerful people with no intent on slowing down. Especially her This is a disaster that’s about to erupt if if hasn’t already. They don’t even wear rings. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don’t. What the hell is that all about? Your wedding ring is supposed to be a sign of love and committment to that other person. They haven’t been married long enough to stop wearing rings. Sorry kiddos but this just isn’t gonna happen for long. If it does last more than five years than I will eat my words.

    Her face looks cute but she still looks like a deer in headlights. She just has this “I’m not too bright” look.

  12. RETRO ISMS

    People believe they’re having problems because it seems about right. She has been talking about their relationship all over and this is the guy who turned diown magazines long before he even got with her because he thought they asked him to be on covers and in features because they wanted more money for ads. So imagine how he feels about having those same magazines write about the intimate details of his relationship with his wife so that they can sell copies? That’s messed up! And even if everybody is just speculating about how he’d feel about that and they aren’t having problems, you tend to believe where there’s smoke, there’s fire because she’s so fake. Like this whole Oscar thing. #215 I agree with you. I don’t know why her acting coach started all this empty hype about her supposed “Oscar worthy” performace (just as she did with “Dreamgirls”)…It is such an obvious marketing ploy, they had everybody in that cast going on an on about her “amazing performance” more than they even talked about their own performances, characters and experiences on set. That’s so unnatural. Beyonce would be the sidebar or afterthought, not the point you stressed, the primary focus UNLESS there was something in it for you, for the film and everyone involved as a whole! Drawing attention to her performance or hinting at Oscar buzz means more people will go see the film. Did they think we couldn’t get that???? From the interviews that have surfaced, it seems the only one they didn’t rope into trying to trick us was Brody and probably because they couldn’t (he’s feisty and an Oscar winner). Obvious marketing trick…Beyonce is just acting like a black woman with an attitude in the film, which is just what she accused Jennifer of doing with the Effie performance (don’t argue with me, stans. Larry King Live, Star Jones guest host –look it up).
    Of course, the performance isn’t great, all she does is “act like a diva,” which could be a portrayal of Etta James or your snappish Aunt Anne. lol If every actress could do the same, could essentially do nothing in a film until she has to go into some “emotional” scene–and one admittedly derived from a similar film and character–wouldn’t everybody deserve an Oscar? It’s so funny that now Gabrielle Union comes out and says “even if she doesn’t win an award…” after critics have been less than enthusiastic/won’t venture as far as saying her performance is definitely Oscar worthy… hmmm I guess they’re on to the fact that we weren’t fooled by the supposed “Oscar buzz” which was essentially her acting coach putting it out there and bloggers perpetuating it based on her comment alone. This situation mirrors Beyonce’s presence on the scene, I think. It’s so foggy, so fake. Why can’t we locate a source who believes in her “Oscar worthy” status outside of her acting coach and the couple of writers who hadn’t seen the film but repeated what the coach said because it was sensational (actually writing things like “and on the Oscar short list Beyonce, SERIOUSLY”) Huh? We can locate several reviews and critics who say Taraji will get a nomination and who rate her performance, going on for several paragraphs about her alone…
    So who knows what’s going on?!

    Is Lauren in the film or is she just there supporting the brothas and sistas? Her dress has an interesting shape!
    Gabrielle looks elegant in that grecian gown!
    Jeffrey is a great actor!
    Who’s China Layne?

  13. wish I spoke french

    I am in love with Beyonce’s belt. The dress woulda been cuter if the hemline was shorter . As much as I am a fan of her music I tend to stay away from her movies but from the trailers ive seen of cadillac records she has stepped her acting game up and she has also been getting some rave reviews.

  14. wish I spoke french

    wow….just read some of these people long aZzzzzz posts. wow and agree with 239 hahahah that was hilarious

  15. 75

    I agree with the people about the dress i think it should be longer and tighter and minus the belt with her hair out would look nice.
    She looks very granny im surprised by how plain she looks she can look alot hotter if she wanted to but maybe shes toning it down for a reason,
    she been wearing black alot lately

  16. Jazzy

    MS ETTA looks like she could be Beyonce granny. Wow, can’t wait ti see the movie

  17. Nothing But Love

    @ JCSENE

    Its ok girl, lol i been reading your comments for sometime now so i knew that weren’t you just some crazy Bey stan catching feelings.

  18. Nothing But Love

    Oh and that comment was for the REAL Jscene….lol

  19. Shonty Graham

    Everybody here saying that bey looks great but I, she is beautiful, I would die and say that, but that dress I’m not feeling it, lately she looks like somebody’s granny, try again

  20. myopia

    Did anyone see her right after she got married when she stepped out with this Jackie O outfit on? I said no no no. Try again!
    I swear as hard as this girl works, she’s so unoriginal.

    BEYONCE CAN NOT ACT! WHY DO THEY KEEP PUTTING HER IN MOVIES?? AND SHE REALLY ISN’T BRINGING IN BIG BUCKS AT THE BOX OFFICE FOR HER MOVIES EITHER. WHY???

    —————————————————————————————————————————
    YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN!

  22. abbyg

    please, please let me know who made the dress laura london is wearing!!!

  23. JSCENE

    TRUST ME I KNOW ALL OF BEYONCE’S BUSINESS BECAUSE, I DO MY BEST TO FOLLOW HER DAILY LIFE, MY FANTASIES DON’T STOP THERE.

  24. Mr. Me Too

    i dont know I might be trippin’ but…….. Mama Knowles could get it!!!!

  25. YaChi

    *****Question, why if someone says they don’t like Beyonce somebody has to turn
    *****around and bring up race?!?!? Race ain’t got shit to do with it. People where
    *****hosed, lynched, raped, tortured and some of you clowns start yapping that
    *****nonsense about “why black women gotta hate on each other?” Damn, maybe
    *****they just don’t like her and the last time I checked this was a FREE country
    *****and this is a blog. They can say whatever they want. Just like some of you
    *****ask why you come to post negativity the same can be asked why you comment
    *****on it. Let it go, skip over it, make your comment and move on…………damn. And
    *****stop making everything about race for pete’s sake.

    *****I could care less about Beyonce. However when she does something that in my
    *****opinion because like assholes, everybody got one, I give her props. If she sucks
    *****or do something I deem stupid, raunchy, and/or questionable again I will
    *****comment on it. With that said, she looks aight. Nothing spectacular. Don’t
    *****like the hair and why is everyone not just Beyonce putting a belt on everything?!
    *****That mess looks tacky as hell and it clashes with the earrings.

    *****Gabby looks stunning. Love the dress, make up, accessories, just beautiful.

    *****As some stated earlier, Beyonce is barely in the movie. It’s not about Etta/
    *****Beyonce. It’s about Cadillac Records. I will wait until it comes on tv and it will.
    *****The trailers thus far don’t look that good to me.

    *****Everyone have a nice Turkey Day……..gobble, gobble.

    Just what my name says, and apparently you didn’t get the message. If we both post on here get another name or put a 1 by it or something. Have your own identity when you post so we won’t confuse people
    I have friends who post on here that know my screen name and you just stepped on the scene.

    Not trying to be rude, That is just common sense!

  31. UrbanChic

    Yachi thank you, but I’m still angry from the last post where one of the Beyonce stans accused another poster of being “dark” simply because they criticized Beyonce. In who’s opinion was she the most stunning woman in the business? I’ll take my girl Halle for example. Now, we blow her up as the most beautiful woman in the world, but again, lets be real, there are some bad sisters out here that never make the news nor will they ever make a movie, but they are bad. It’s called promotion and publicists that creates the imagery of someone being drop dead gorgeous. I’m not saying Beyonce is an ugly girl by any means, but hey, I remember when she first came out and no one could tell her from the rest of the girls in the group. It’s called publicity and public relations. I know I’m gonna receive some hate, but lets be honest, there are some days Beyonce looks like any other girl you see at the mall.

  32. UrbanChic

    To the person who is imitating Jscene, that is just creepy. All you’re doing is simply proving us right about the creepiness of Beyonce stans. Some of you guys make me ashamed to be a fan. If someone Jscene would go as far to impersonate you, I wonder how far they would go to get close to…beyonce.

  33. BEYONCES TRU STAN!! 4LIFE

  34. RETRO ISMS

    lol@#274 But Beyonce’s fans are constantly trying to convince us they don’t worry about Rihanna…

  35. Tory

    STOP PLAYIN 275 COMMENTS!
    Lauren looks cute like always,
    GABBI looks nice.
    SANAA that my girl, look always classy,
    REGINA HALL IS REALLY PRETTY.

  36. Va Slimm

    Doesn’t the picture with Etta James and Tina Knowles look like Beyonce and her mom in 30 years???

  37. Destiny

    ROTFL at the” other” JSCENE comments!!!!!! To the real JSCENE: Don’t be too offended by the non-avatar JSCENE. I think he/she was really just joking around although after a while, it was too much. That was really funny though!! Who does that??

  38. MSWING

    HOW COMES NO1 HAS MENTIONED TINA’S MAN HANDS!! I FEEL SORRY FOR THE GRAN CHILDREN SHE’LL BE BEATIN!

  39. HALCYONC

    Miss Union is truly STUNNING…absolutely FLAWLESS…

  40. HALCYONC

    That dress it too mature for Beyonce as usual. I’m sorry,but her mother looks like a straight witch. She should stay away from black and brooms.

  41. HALCYONC

    “Or should she have gotten a facelift like Miss Tina to look younger. All you people think its the hair and the lipstick- No Tina got a facelift”

    Lol!

  42. HALCYONC

    “ok first bey said she met jay z at 18 and started sating at 19 now on ellen she said they been together 7 years and shes 27..
    dosnt make sense”

    Of course it makes sense. She can barely read. You can’t expect her to do math as well. In all seriousness,I’m beginning to feel for her. Money and fame isn’t everything. Her parents were too busy trying to turn her into the cash cow that they forgot everything else. I blame the Knowles for this. It really irks me. I feel like they take advantage of their own daughter. They exploited this child and never allowed her room to grow. They’ve damaged her for life.

  43. ebbi

    @ 69 .
    yeah i think that is her father .

  44. Mercy

    Wow Miss Tina is out shining Lauren, I never thought that would be possible. Bee’s Mom looks great.

  45. Sasha

    Regina Hall is killing Sanaa and Beyonce in that pic.

  46. Sasha

    Wow, Mama Tina got a lot of work done.
    what is with celebs only wearing black these days? I know it is fall and almost winter, but can we get some color up in this b*tch?

  47. Wake Up

    #95 – IF RIRI WAS INVITED IT’LL BE ANOTHER FEATHER IN BEYONCE’S CAP.

    SHE’S THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF THIS MOVIE AND SOUNDTRACK (DID THE DREAMGIRLS SOUNDTRACK TOO).

    RIHANNA SHOWING UP WOULD’VE GOT PUBLICITY BECAUSE SHE WOULD LOOK LIKE A FISH OUT OF WATER HOW SHE DOES ON STAGE, WHICH MIND YOU IS $$$ FOR THE CARTERS TOO BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T MAKE ANY MONEY.

    STILL WANT HER TO SHOW UP – LMAO!

  48. REAL TALK

    JSCENE AND OTHER CONFUSED FOLK:

    YOU CAN TELL YOU GUYS HAVEN’T REALLY DEALT WITH BUSINESS.

    NO ONE IS GOING TO INTERRUPT THEIR HOME WITH INTERVIEWS, PHOTOGS, HAIR,.MAKE-UP AND FASHION WHEN PROMOTING SOMETHING.

    WHEN YOU HAVE CASH LIKE THEY DO, YOU RENT SOMEWHERE TO CONDUCT THAT BUSINESS. THEY WERE PHOTO’D TOGETHER BEFORE AND AFTER THAT LOOKING VERY HAPPY AND IN LOVE.

    YOU PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO PUT THE HATE DOWN AND GET YOUR MONEY UP BECAUSE THAT’S JUST PURE IGNORANCE TO THINK THAT WAS A PROBLEM IN THEIR RELATIOSHIP.

  49. Not A Fan of Many

    #283 – SINCE YOU’RE JOCKING ENOUGH TO COMMENT – INVESTIGATE FIRST. SHE’S ASKED THE QUESTION 1,000,000 TIMES – SHE’S BOUND TO TWIST SOMETHING UP, BUT HER ANSWER’S ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME. SHE MET HIM @ 17, GOT TO KNOW HIM @ 19 AND DATED HIM @ 20.

    SHE’S HER OWN BUSINESS AND MAKING HER OWN DECISIONS. HER FAMILY ISN’T PULLING ANY STRINGS. SHE SEEMS MORE STABLE AND HAPPY THAN MOST CELEBS – PRIVACY WORKS.

    SHE’S WELL SPOKEN AND INTELLIGENT AND IS DOING BETTER THAN EVER.

  50. Reviews

    Beyonce has been getting GREAT reviews for her portrayal in this. Can’t wait to check this out on Friday. Beyonce never disappoints.

  51. FLAWLESS

    BEYONCE LOOKS FLAWLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

    I’m glad she mentioned that she hasn’t spoken to J.Hud. Why do people think she should’ve called her and publicly announced it? Should Anika, Jamie and Eddie have called too. I’m sure she sent flowers, etc., but J.Hud’s already got tight and cursed out that other wack site for all the J.Hud vs. Beyonce b.s. Her Mother is DEAD and all haters can think of is if she spoke to The Queen B. Let’s you know that the haters put Beyonce in a high regard since she’s expected to do it all.

  52. ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz

    Funny how I see the same names on every Beyonce post spewing hate. Ya’ll have more time for her than her fans!!! smh – LMAO. Sorry, but it’s the truth.

  53. Talent

    I dig Beyonce. She’s been out here for a long time and never played herself once. She’s always humble and gracious and carries herself like a woman. She exudes confidence and seems like she has a great sense of humor. I also appreciate that she keeps her life private because I want her the entertainer/supreme vocalist. The cherry on the top is that she’s beautiful, yet actually uber-talented.

    God Bless Beyonce and All Accolades are Deserved.

  54. Dark N Lovely

    What the heck is that Bee is wearing.is she lifting a 50lb. bag of sugar..is that for back support?

  55. FASHION

    BEYONCE LOOKS SOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I LOVE HOW HER JEWEL ENCRUSTED SHOES COMPLIMENTS HER BELT.

    THAT BELT IF F.I.Y.A.H.

    BEE’S BEEN KILLING THE FASHION.

  56. Just Sayin

    There is a term for african american’s who find joy in tearing each other down. Its called “crabs in a bucket”. The fact that a movie has been put on the big screen by an african american writer and the majority of the cast is african american should give us pride.

    Stop hating on Beyonce! That girl is doing her thing! And doing it well! She is a true professional entertainer. She is showing the rest of the up and comings how it should be done. Give her props! She’s earned them. People are buying her music for a reason.
