MAGAZINES: BEYONCE FOR GOTHAM MAG

Beyonce goes red, white, and blue for the November issue of Gotham magazine. Her cover is accompanied by a high fashion photo spread inside the issue, where she models different styles for different countries.

The singer recently responded to Gotham’s article, which implied she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown during the start of her career:

“I wouldn’t say I was on the verge of a breakdown, Bey said, adding, “That’s a very strong thing to say.” So was she misquoted? She adds, “Maybe. I have been before.” SOURCE

    THANK YOU FOR VOTING FOR BARACK OBAMA!

    She was asked about questions for Obama and she clearly isn’t even remotely political. She had no idea just what issues he supports, just what political philosophy he espouses – she had NO idea. So the fact that she went out to shake hands..great that people got to meet her?? I don’t know if it’s worth anything…In fact, I think it lends creedance to the belief that Obama’s primarily a celebrity. In short, she came out and I’m sure she meant well but it’s no big deal in the long run…

    I don’t think it matters whether she did or didn’t have a breakdown. Hell she works soooo much it wouldn’t be a surprise nevertheless it doesn’t mean ppl wouldn’t support her. Anyways the photos are very unique…

    WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

  7. Angie

    Beyonce is just plain dumb and looks like a retard. Save the youtube links you all are too damn obsessed with this crazy bitc*h.

  8. Lotus

    She just keep reaching and as of lately she just keep falling flat on her face.She looks pathetic and stupid.She is too big to do high fashion,her face is just average(cute),and she is addicted to that blonde wig.She has no life or emotion behind her eyes and her “noise”(so called music) is immature,annoying,senseless,and repetitive.She will never be an icon because she’s trying to hard to become that.She’s not an artist with true passion,she’s just a greedy,fame hungry,robotic lame with crazy parents who skim to make more money.When she finally crashes,she will crash hard because she is souless and does things for all the wrong reasons.Money can’t buy peace of mind or in her case that Oscar that she wants so badly lol. She’s a terrible actress and will never be model material.She should just start making adult songs with real concepts and stop shaking around like a slutty dog,or have babies with her husband,make a family,and settle down before she have a nervous breakdown.

  9. GOLDEN

    The Beyonce photos are fab..and too fierce!! She is so versatile with her looks in this photoshoot! Another one knocked out of the park. Beyonce can definitely stay true to herslef, while also being able to pull of a high fashion photoshoot. Someone earlier posted the youtube link with her singing, her true talent, why she is signed, and it is clear why she is on top. Vocally noone mentioned in this post can compare to her. You can compare pics or photoshoots all day, but when it comes down to TALENT and true artistry, and vocal talent, she is not to be messed with. Good luck trying to compare that. Waist lines………over talent…….hmmm…..edginess..over talent……shyt that doesn’t even have to do with this pictures…over talent? Nah don’t think I’d do that anyday. There’s a reason why her posts stay at the top. Whether people claim to hate her (closet fans) or love her, she is still someone that causes people to respond, she gets way more posts than ANYBODY on this site. She is obviously doing something right!! November 18th, it’s a new era.

  10. LISA

    THE NEW ERA SUCKS
    I WANT DIL BACK
    WHAT SHOULD THIS ERA BE CALLED?
    THE BREAKDOWN, BEYONCE FINALLY LOST HER DAMN MIND ERA???

    SHE LOOKS BUSTED IN THE PICS, SHE LOOKS LIKE A LOST PUPPY IN HEADLIGHTS. HER EYES ARE BARREN OF ANY KIND OF SOUL OR HAPPINESS I REALLY BELIEVE SHE HAS TRADED REAL LIFE AND HAPPINESS FOR MAKING MONEY.
    WHO KEEPS WORKING, DOESN’T EVEN HONEYMOON WITH THEIR HUSBAND?
    WHO DECIDES TO GET MARRIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TOUR (JAY)
    AND NO PICS AND HAVE TO KEEP UP A FACADE LIKE THEY DIDN’T REALLY WANT ONE ANYWAY?
    WHO PIMPS THEIR RING IN THE MEDIA IN A VIDEO BUT SWORE THEY WOULD NEVER SELL OUT AND TALK ABOUT THEIR MARRIAGE?
    WHO TALKS ABOUT NOT TALKING ABOUT THEIR MARRIAGE BUT STILL ENDS UP TALKING ABOUT IT IN INTERVIEWS LMAO?
    YEP THIS IS THE DERRANGED NARCISSISM OF THE KNOWLES
    BEYONCE’S CRAZINESS RUNS DEEP BUT IT IS STARTING TO SHOW IN HER CHOICES
    IT IS HARD TO KEEP CRAZINESS UNDER COVER FOR LONG
    JUST ASK BRITNEY!
    BEY DOES NEED A BREAK, I CAN HARDLY STAND TO SEE HER LIKE THE ABOVE PICTURES. SHE LOOKS A MESS AND NEEDS AN INTERVENTION
    BUT HER MONEY HUNGRY FAM WON’T TELL HER THE TRUTH
    SHE HAS TOO MUCH GOING ON AND HER MIND IS FAILING HER
    SHE LOOKS A MESS!
    THESE PICS LOOK LIKE A CRY FOR HELP!
    BEYONCE IS LOSING IT!

  14. ChokLitFactory

    She looks alright in some pics…I like the red, white and blue one. Not really getting what she’s tryin to accomplish with the ‘high-fashion’ pics, just don’t think its necessary…but good for her :)

  15. Soup

    lol @ short bus. I agree that beyonce does seem fake. She seems to put on this persona and fake/forced posture in public, and in her interviews, like she’s afraid to look ugly or awkward, something she didn’t use to do when she was with DC. That’s prolly cause she’s built so much of her solo career on how she looks and her sexual appeal and now she needs to keep up the image. It’s fine and all, cause some people buy into it and keep giving her their money, but understandably, many people see through it and don’t really like it. The pics are alright, her eyes look dead, though.

    @ 169 Get Over It

    Well, I don’t know about these other people but I actually have met this woman. Not just once but twice. First at the Verizon tour with Missy & Alicia a couple years ago and then again backstage at one of her concerts last year. That’s because I’m not a hater, I actually even used to like this woman. The first time she was sweet and I had no complaints. She didn’t seem like someone I would like to have a lengthy conversation with, but that’s cool. However, when I met her in 2007 I was almost disgusted. I couldn’t understand how someone can go from being a confident, perhaps even (slightly) humble person to being a self-absorbed diva with a humongous ego who is trying to hide her true colors behind a fake smile within less than four years. Call me a hater, I hate fakeness, and that’s exactly what I got from her.

    And maybe you should ask someone like, hmm say, George Bush why they are donating so much before you bring all that ish up. Jay said it best: “Sure I ponied up a mill but I didn’t give my time, so in reality I didn’t give a dime or a damn”. You shouldn’t believe everything you read about these stars, be it positive or negative. I will never give a celebrity any props for donating a few thou when they have so many millions. They are still spending reckless on stupid things while there are poor people dying everywhere and trust me, God will not be impressed by the Grammys and platinum plaques they have that you people keep bringing up. Everybody’s obsessed with money and material things, as a “role model” she should try to be different and do better instead of being worse. These things will lead you and her to hell. Jay-Z – Upgraded. Next up -> Satan.

  17. RihRihFan

    you people are sick! you think this is edgy, high fashion, great??! what are you sippin on?! poor things! the entertainment world has gone to the dogs! what a shame! this is so bland and blaaaahhhhhh! so sad! please bring in rihanna!

  18. RihRihFan

    THANK U SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH LISA!!!! YOU HIT IT ON THE DOT!!!! WHY CAN’T THESE OTHER PSYCHOTIC STANS SEE THE SAME! WELL MAYBE THEY’RE SICK TOO (LIKE HER) BUT IT’S PLAIN TO SEE THIS WOMAN IS SICK IN THE HEAD AND NEEDS HELP! SHE’S A NUT AND SHE’S READY TO CRACK ANYDAY NOW! DIL WAS THE ERA BUT NOW SHE’S GONEE…SIT DOWN B YOUR TIME IS UP!

  19. wish i spoke french

    As much as I love Bee I dont really like these shots ; it has nothing to do with her face or anything cuz her facial structure kills it but I dont know it just doesnt seem like its her. And no shade to Rhianna but mami isnt high fashion either go any actual fashion blog and you can see that ……she might rock a cute shoe or somethin but ppl are acting like she is MK or Joanna Preiss or somethin.

  20. goons

    i love Be but i think these pictures look funny..She is making me laugh..she actually looks like some of the people in these countries wearing thier clothes..She better not be making fun because this is some funny shit…that poodle one is killing me..

  21. UKSUN

    Well, just compare them. Here’s Rihanna’s latest ads for Gucci.
    http://www.rihannaphotos.....php?album=1676&pos=0

  22. UKSUN

    This one isn’t as clear but it’s a full body shot

    http://www.rihannaphotos.....php?album=1676&pos=3

    And I’d say Rihanna’s got it by a mile…by a thousand miles, actually as, unlike Beyonce, she actually looks like a model. Beyonce looks really vapid here…it isn’t her element and doesn’t make sense at all…it’s clear Beyonce should only do sexy photos — suggestive poses, windswept hair (blowing fans), mini dresses, and lip gloss. That’s her. High fashion and actual modeling..ehhh not so much.

  23. Dani bee

    80 mill she has to be doing something good! please comment on that! how much did your international star rihanna make!

  24. Dani bee

    80 MILL IN OIN ONE YEAR SOMEONE COMMENT ON THAT. HOW MUCH DID YOUR INTERNATIONAL STAR RIHANNA MAKE LAST YEAR!

    UMM YOU CANT BE A INTERNATIONL STAR AND NEVER HEADLINED YOUR OWN TOUR!!!!! STOP SAYING THAT!

    OH ARMANI HAS DAVID BECKHAM,POSH SPICE AND BEYONCE DONT MENTION GUCCI PLEASE

  25. Larissa Jackson

    Beyonce looks fly.

    Aint nobody thinking or talking about Rihanna anymore, be real.

  26. Get'em

    >She looks like Tyra Banks in some of these pictures

  27. bob

    She is my favorite. Just saw her on milllionaire personals site “”"” M e e t i n g R i c h . c o m”"”"”" last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.Is she single again now? ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

  28. myopia

    She’s empty headed. It shows in pictures and interviews time and time again. I have never heard this woman put not one intelligent sentence together. She maybe sweet and pretty with nice clothes and a bunch of money but what good is any of it without a lick of good sense. This is a (married) woman who still relies on her parents to fight her battles. Remember PETA?

    For once, I would like to hear her speak with some passion. To sound as if she’s capable of carrying on an intelligent conversation with another human being instead of reading off some script or making it so obvious she knew what kind of questions were coming her way. Lord help her if she were ever caught off guard. She’s a deer in headlights. What amazes me even more is that Jay himself does not appear to be this way. I’m surprised he’s not with someone who’s smarter. Beyonce acts like she’s still living at home with mom and dad. Nothing seems right about her. The way she talks, acts and her relationship. We all know she’s married now so stop acting like you’re not by walking behind him instead of next to him dammit!! A WOMAN SHOULD NEVER FOLLOW BEHIND HER MAN!

    For all of these reasons, I just find it difficult to like her.

  29. Sexie 2 Da Tee

    YOU DID THAT!!!!!!

  30. BritishJanaican

    Barack the vote people. We want Obama 2 win.

  31. Change- verb,to change one's opinions or intentions

    Nice photoshoot… Go Bey global brand and 2nd highest paid in the music industry!

  32. joe

    this gurl sucks her new songs are so shitty she cannot sing

  33. WOW The Pics Look CRAZY!

    The pics are making me lolololol
    She looks like a straight up idiot with her face painted and with the psycho look in her eyes!
    With all her money it seems she shoudl buy some friends who will tell her the truth about things like this. Maybe she can buy someone who will tell her how dumb she looks. Perhaps she can buy some common sense while she’s at it. Such a dummy!

  34. Like I’ve said all along, overexposure, IS NEVER a good thing. All this bashing that went on up in here.

    I know to each his own, but these pictures look awkward. Just because you’re pretty, does not mean you are model material. Has she learned anything from Tyra’s “America’s Next Top Model”? She should stick to singing and call it a day. Leave the high fashion looks to Rhi and the other chicks who can pull it off.

  35. Beyonce Forever

    ************Pics are beautiful…Beyonce is beautiful.

  36. Flower Child

    Beyonce looks 10XXXXXXX better then rihanna ok but beyonce is overexposed hmmmm she is following in the footsteps of her idol J.lo

    But at J.lo lve her life she had men party had fun now a babyit’s all good

    Now beyonce might has lost her v-spot to tat man ho jay-z WOW

    That why she so boring

    Beyonce think she the shit cause i don’t know all these lowclass r&B females was chasing ja and she got him sideeye whatever bee you’llhave no storys to tell your kids cause you lead a boring life

  37. amilia

    When you have haters, such as Queen B, you are moving in the right direction in your career…The higher you climb the thinner the air is…keep moving and ascending to higher heights Beyonce! Your air will be your husband, family and most important GOD. I am so proud as a woman of color to be associated with such a innovative, realistic and beautiful icon…Beyonce walk into your destiny.

  38. HALCYONC

    “She is so self centered and Jay is just a handy accessory for various fame purposes; public appearances, something to talk about when convenient, makes it appear she has a ‘life’ and she doesn’t want his child, they will split in 3 years, she would have milked him for all the pub she could by then and then settle down with a genetically acceptable sperm donor like Solange.”

    In fairness to Beyonce (WTH? I’m I doing defending her), UGH-Z gets a lot of benefits he wouldn’t have before Beyonce. Heck, Gweneth and Chris wouldn’t be hanging with a drug dealing rapper if it weren’t for his association with Beyonce, so it goes both ways.

  39. I hope all 280 of you all have voted or will vote!

    These Beyonce’s post get the highest damn post. Why?

  40. Exposure

    EVERY artist that’s out and considered hot is OVEREXPOSED.

    RIHANNA – DEFINITELY – SHE CAN’T EVEN SING OR DANCE!!!

    KEYSHIA – dropping albums too soon

    KANYE & WEEZY – OVERRATED AND OVEREXPOSED

    ETC.

    Beyonce’s out because she has something to promote, but most times you saw her before this, she was just trying to chill and her privacy was invaded – publicly.

    That’s not overexposure – there’s a difference – learn it.

  41. hmm

    Beyonce should never play a super hero…these pics are horrid.

  42. ETCETERA

    # 54 and #81…. REAL TALK!

  43. Beyonce up to the Same Old TRicks

    I find it very interesting how most of her pics now are showing her african features. Please take a look back at all the pics that came out since she started promoting her album. When you look at her now you are seeing a light skinned black girl, not a white girl with a tan like you used to see. Usually HER professional photoshoots make her nose appear straighter, which is such a horrible horrible horrible thing. This straightness of the nose only makes Beyonce more media friendly. It also cradles the idea that a straight nose is mandatory for beauty, and it takes away from praising the features and beauty of people of African descent.

    Sooo all of a sudden her nose looks black. THings that make you go hmmmm….

  44. Good Look

    I love these pics of Beyonce and HOW THEY REPRESENT A COUNTRY. I love how she’s not too THIN but has CURVES and still looks modelesque. She’s a beautiful woman that carries herself like a woman and on top of it, she’s actually talented. Couldn’t ask for more even though she could give more.
