ROUNDUP: BEYONCE, MARY & OTHERS IN DC / LIL WAYNE GIVES BACK / FANTASIA GETS HOME BACK
Tuesday, January 13, 2009
Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Jamie Foxx, Denzel Washington and a number of others plan to be at Washington DC’s Lincoln Memorial this weekend for a mega Pre-Inaugural Concert:
Beyonce, U2, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Usher, Shakira, Sheryl Crow, Josh Groban and James Taylor are among the musicians scheduled to perform Sunday afternoon. The president-elect and his family are due to attend, with Obama expected to speak.
Other performers include Stevie Wonder, Renee Fleming, Garth Brooks, Mary J. Blige, Herbie Hancock, Heather Headley, John Legend and Jennifer Nettles. Historical passages will be read by Jamie Foxx, Martin Luther King III, Queen Latifah and Denzel Washington, with other celebrities expected to join them.
HBO will televise the show at 7 p.m. EST. SOURCE
There will be plenty of other star studded events happening as you can imagine. Stay tuned to CL for more Inauguration Week coverage…
LIL WAYNE GIVES BACK
Lil Wayne is the latest rapper to give back to his hometown, donating $200,000 to help rebuild a playground he grew up in New Orleans:
The Lollipop hit-maker, real name Dwayne Carter III, handed over the cash to officials in charge of Harrell Park, which was destroyed when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. It was used as a trailer site for the local water board in the hurricane’s aftermath, and its heavy equipment left the park’s track and field severely damaged.
However the rapper’s generosity, via his youth empowerment organization One Family Foundation, means officials can now make a start on restoring the recreation area. And Lil Wayne hopes other stars will be inspired to help their communities in the same way. SOURCE
That’s a good look…
FANTASIA SEIZES HOME BACK
Word on the street, was that American Idol winner Fantasia would be losing her home due to some repayment issues, but the singer recently renegotiated a deal with financers and will keep her house in North Carolina:
The singer, who won the TV talent show in 2004, purchased the six-bedroom house in Charlotte, North Carolina in March 2007 for $1.3 million. But she ran into financial trouble in 2006 after she was forced to borrow more than $68,000 from Broward Energy Partners to pay her taxes.
However, she reportedly failed to keep up with her repayments and the local Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office was due to auction off Barrino’s mansion to help reimburse the company. The property was due to go up for sale on Monday, but the auction was called off after Barrino’s lawyers reached a settlement deal with bosses of Broward Energy Partners. SOURCE
The singer is currently working on releasing her third album as well as a rumored gospel album.

*****How embarassing for Fantasia but thank god she and her child will be alright
*****Why did she have to borrow money to pay her taxes in the first place?
*****Something sounds real fishy to me? She needs to fire everyone and start fresh.
*****Handle her own money for a while.
*****As for the Inagural pre ceremony - which “historical passages” are they going to be reading?

Why does CL put a pic of Beyonce on posts even if she’s barely relevant to the post, they could easily have put a pick of Stevie or Mary j there instead. Im convinced that this site is run by stans.
@ 4 I think MTV base might be showing it or some MTV channel in the UK.
Its a shame Jennifer Hudson isn’t performing, it would be great if she did and I think it would give her strength to keep going. It would be great for legendary artists to perform at the inaug since its such a great event, and that excludes wannabe Beyonce who thinks she’s some sort of ‘queen’.

Inauguration: Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus join the celebration
Next week’s inauguration festivities are getting more star-studded by the day. The Presidential Inaugural Committee announced today that the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and Bow Wow will perform at the Kids’ Inaugural, a concert honoring military families that will be held Monday night. Along with their parents, Malia and Sasha Obama are expected to be in attendance. There’s a reason the lineup features so many Disney stars: The event will be televised at 8 p.m. on the Disney Channel and then streamed on Disney.com.
The Disney/ABC Television Group also has exclusive rights to another major inauguration event: Tuesday’s Neighborhood Ball, the first gala of the night that the newly sworn-in President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will attend. Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Faith Hill, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Shakira and Stevie Wonder are all scheduled to perform. ABC will carry the event live from the Washington Convention Center at 8 p.m. Eastern time. (On the West Coast, it will air tape-delayed at 8 p.m.)

Tuesday, January 13, 2009 /
Beyonce is performing at TWO events. One on the Lincoln MEMORIAL with A list legends and entertainers, and one on TUESDAY, The day of the inauguration hosted by Obama’s Team.
If your event is NOT EMBOSSED with the President signing off on it. Nor is your event being captured by a major network, or a major cable channel, then it is not officially inauguration. Beyonce’s events will be attended by the President, and were chosen to be held by the Inaugural committee.
It’s ok because Beyonce is going to OWN. And show out. That will the icing on the cake. How can you even try to belittle something like this and say you’re not a hater??

HAHAHAHAHA THE haters ARE going to be hella maddddd!!! THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING HATEFUL AND NASTY WITH THEM FOOLISH PETITIONS,GOD DOESN’T LIKE UGLY! Talking about how she’s not dignified enough for the inauguration? President Obama is one of her biggest fans. And she’s dignified enough to perform for Prince Charles and Nelson Mandela. I swear some people are just born with hate and thrive on preconceived notions.
She is AT a BIG event….the LINCOLN MEMORIAL is where she will be performing….that is an ICONIC moment about to happen!
Beyonce will be performing in front of that huge statue of Lincoln with President Obama sitting in that front row with Michelle….if you can’t tell that the media is going to have a MILLION PICS of that, I don’t know what to tell you!
Imagine it—the first Black President and First Lady( a Slave descendant) being sung to by another Slave descendent(ie Beyonce!) in front of the statue of the President who signed the Emancipation Proclamation that freed the enslaved Africans in America..that is HEAVY in terms of symbolism as to what this President means in terms of America’s history!
Not to mention, the Lincoln Memorial is the site that Martin Luther King gave one of the greatest of all speeches in history….”I have a Dream” ….a Dream that our new President’s election has fulfilled in a large part!
Also….the Lincoln Memorial was where Eleanor Roosevelt brought Marian Anderson, one of the Great Sopranos of all time, to do a concert when she was not allowed to do so at Carnegie Hall due to her being Black….NOW Beyonce and Stevie will be at the Lincoln Memorial singing for a BLACK PRESIDENT before a nation of millions…..it gets no better than that to show the reversal of such things in these United States!
And I know she won’t let me down! Congrats to Beyonce!

POST # 2 is right on! The Knowles Family supported George Bush and yes even performed for him.
One day the shady truth about the ‘Beyonce Machine’ is going to come out and many of you will then see how much they duped the public and lied and backstabbed other artists and anyone who they viewed as any form of a threat or was poised to get more attention than Beyonce.

WOW! The Beyonce ‘dislikers’ are all making up excuses as to why Beyonce is going to perform like “It was Mathew” “They Just felt bad” “She definitely payed” “She’s just performing with the rejects” OH SHUT THE FUKK UP! Let it go, Beyonce is an outstanding performer and we all know that, hater or not, clearly the Obama’s know that and you all have to accept it. If Beyonce is a reject so is Mary J. Blige..WOW MARY..and what does that make everyone else who didn’t even make any type of list that has to do with Obama. In the words of Jay-Z..”Rihanna where you at?”.
Stop with the nonsense. Beyonce is reigning all over everyone’s parade whether you want to admit it or not. Facts are facts. And stop with that “She performed with President Bush” crap, that was like 7 years ago and if she did that doesn’t mean a thing. She performed for the children that attended the White House gathering. Even if she performed for Bush, it means nothing. He is/was our President. She was just showing respect where it was due. Stop hating on the chicks game, she’s doing her thing.

For the first time I can honestly say I don’t like Beyonce at all! Matthew Knowles, Jay-Z and Beyonce are the axis of evil when it comes to the record industry-look what they’ve done to saturate the market with their gimmicks-JayZ with his “retirement” and Beyonce with her white-washing and evilness. They are pure evil. They show no respect or remorse for Jennifer Hudson-it’s messed up. People just wake up-dont be blind to the facts. Matthew allowed his daughter to marry some old man, ex-drug dealing azz and a devil worshipper. It’s no coinxidence they got “married” in his apt and not a church. I thought Beyonce was such a churchgoing girl. Man, that family is evil and wicked.At least we know Mrm Obama wanted Jennifer and not beyonce.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they plotted on Jennifer Hudson. They still jealous she upstaged beyonce and earned the coveted Academy Award-her day will come and so will beyonce-the day she’s really exposed-old azz 36 year old-frontin.
GOD bless you Jennifer and may your family R.I.P.

I would have been thoroughly surprised if Bey didn’t perform. This just further solidifies her foundation to becoming an icon. Only the best were chosen to perform at these events, so of course, she’ll be center stage.
If your life has you so miserable that you feel the need to hate and/or discredit an entertainer given the opportunity to perform at such a historic event….please seek professional help

Let me say that again.
HEY RHIANNA STANS: Please tell me where is Rhianna’s name on that list? Is she performing at 2 events like Miss Beyonce? Rhianna where are you? hahahahaha
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY SHE IS NOT ON THAT LIST: Because she sucks!!!! she is over-rated, bubble gum and has no talent. why would she embarass her self. She is insignificant and cant sing. At least we know the Obamas know that she is all looks and nothing else.
GO BEYONCE. SHOW ALLA THESE RHIANNA FANS, STANS AND ASS KISSERS WHAT A REAL BOSS DOES.

People! Beyonce is not performing at the inauguration!!!!!!!
She is performing at a damn concert with a bunch of other people at Lincoln Memorial. Wow you people really think that Obama would invite her? stop the madness!
It clearly states pre-inaugural concert! Bey stans obviously have comprehension challenges when reading!!!
