Beyonce smiles with an early voter as she visited the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center in Florida over the weekend. Also spotted there were Jay-Z, Diddy, Mary J. Blige, and Russell Simmons – who all campaigned for Obama, urging the voters to put him in the White House.

Def Jam Executive Vice President Shakir Stewart, 34, died Saturday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound near Atlanta.
Stewart was found around 4 p.m. Saturday in the bathroom of his home in the Atlanta suburb of Marietta, Cobb County police spokeswoman Cassie Reece said Sunday. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
He was promoted to Executive VP in June following the resignation of Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter. He also retained his duties as senior VP of A&R at Island Def Jam.
On Sunday, his fiancée, Michelle Rivers, released a joint statement with his family:
“We would like to thank Shakir’s friends for the tremendous outpouring of love and support we have received during this difficult time,” the statement reads. “It has helped us to cope with our overwhelming grief and sadness. It is difficult to express or explain in words what led to the tragic occurrence on Saturday. Over the past several weeks, Shakir’s behavior was inconsistent with the man we all know and love. As much as we all tried to help him, Shakir was in deep pain and largely suffering in silence. Please remember Shakir for who he was … a wonderful father, partner, son and friend.”
Hundreds lined the street in front of Pleasant Gift Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago to pay their respects in a public memorial to Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew.
During the service, several mourners spoke, sang and offered recollections of 57-year-old Darnell Donerson, 29-year-old Jason Hudson and 7-year-old Julian King.
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
