AWARENESS: BEYONCE AT ‘SHOW YOUR HELPING HAND’ PRESS CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO

Beyonce attended the Show Your Helping Hand Campaign Press Conference at the United Center on Friday, July 17th in Chicago, Illinois. The superstar played a gig later on that night for her ‘I Am’ tour.

Beyonce has teamed up with General Mills to help deliver more than $3.5 million meals to food banks around the country. ‘Giving back was something I was taught at an early age. I truly believe that God blesses us to bless other people,’ said Beyonce.

  12. shayshay

    she looks like a pageant girl , poised & disconnected with everything but herself. She Always look really pretty

  13. UKNOW

    Great cause but you really have to admit that Beyonce is a woman who is doing too much. All that hair and makeup? It must be odd, wearing all that mess…my head and face sweat just watching her with all that on!

  14. Tal

    Why would you click on a link of someone you don’t like??? LOL. There is so stuff on the internet and you choose to click on Beyonce coz deep down you LOVE her. Just admit it and cleanse your heart of jealousy and hate.
    PEACE.

  15. UKNOW

    #7, I didn’t want to mention that she looks to be wearing her own brand. She did it at the last very visible press conference too. Always selling something, I guess. lol Besides, did anybody see her scarily fake reaction to Alicia’s humanitarian award at the BET awards? She wants that baby next year. lol

  16. Oiiiiiiii

    She acting like she couldn’t put on a red t-shirt with some khaki’s like everybody else. Put the lace front in a pony-tail and make it work. She NEVER dresses down and always looks out of place. She is very pretty in the photos, but it doesn’t look genuine. Just looks like a photo op.

  17. Tiff.Will. ["No, my first name ain't baby, it's Janet..Ms.Jackson if ya' nasty"]

    MY GIRL LOOKS LOVELY!!

    She’s such a nice, humble, and helpful girl. She makes me happy to be a fan.

  21. michelle

    i like beyonce….. stans chill! but i have to say that this thing seems so fake and rehearsed!

  22. ~BIZNESSWMN~F.U.PAY.ME

    Too much make up and hair as usual. Completely over dressed and wearing ridiculously overpriced shoes to be at an event geared towards helping people who are so poor they can’t afford food. She is such an idiot.

  23. CW

    Beauty beauty…. Talent, class, style, wealth, and perfection is all I have to say. And she is going hard on her new charity she started.

    I love how she donated 2500 concert tickets to the auto workers who are out of work in detroit. She could have just dropped the prices, but she gave them away for free. Associated press and washington post said her tour has been 90% sold out, yet the girl is still giving away thousands of free tickets…

    What a women. God will surely bless her ….

  24. uptown

    WHY DO PEOPLE CONTINUE TO IDOLIZE THIS CHIC?? LIKE FOR REAL?? SHE IS NOT GOD!!! OH SORRY, “BEYSUS” WAS IT?

    YEAH, SHE’S GORGEOUS & YEAH SHE IS TALENTED… OH & I GUESS SHE HELPS PEOPLE OUT (SOMETIMES) THRU A CHARITY…

    HMM, IMO: U CAN’T BRIBE GOD WHEN U KNOW U DO WRONG BY DOING SO MANY THINGS THAT COUNTER HIM. THAT’S ALL I’M SAYIN’

    http://thelatterdays.blog.../12/i-amsasha-fierce.html

  25. CW

    please dont bring up rihanna in this post. she is a clown and is too desperate for attention if you ask me.. thank god people are getting tired of her.

  26. 2cents

    Yay Bey! I think she looks great…I prolly wldn’t have chosen those shoes, at least not in black but otherwise her outfit is cute.

    @22- I dont understand the point of dressing down for charitable events like this one, it’s not like she was building houses in new orleans or planting flowers. There she would need sneakers, but there is absolutely no secret to Beyonce’s income- she tops forbes list. Her outfit does not discredit her efforts.

    Kudos to you Beyonce- for staying true to yourself and still offering a helping hand. There are many who wldn’t do anything of this such- promo op or not. Those hungry families can care less abt what she wore to bring them food.

  27. SHARDANAY MIYAKE

    Wow now this is the Beyonce we all know and LOVE! She looks so fresh, happy and fantastic! Her outfit is bomb, I am so loving the belt and the shoes! She really is one of the genuine celebrities of today! Go Bey!

    are you following me on twitter?

    Good to see her giving back, however she is not physically TAKING HER MONEY AND GIVING TO THE PUBLIC. SHE IS LENDING HER FACE (IMAGE), BRAND, ONLY TO GENERAL MILLS for a small fee (ie. 100,000 thousand). General Mills is giving the donation. She is a brand remember.

    B. loks very pretty in her pics. Not humble. I dont know when you are dealing with the poor, you dont want to look like “your better than them” by dressing Glam style. Why did she not wear a tee shirt too and jeans aqnd pumps. This was merely an photo op for her.

    This is why I say she is not humble enough for me. A family member of mine was a professional athlete . Everytime there was a corporate donation drive of some sort it was told that my family member will dress like the general public. Jeans blazer and shoes. Not glam style, because it gives the impression that it is not genuine. Just a photo op.

  29. MONICA

    I’m even though this is a charity event I don’t see or feel the connection,looks like a put together event borrowed children the right mix, ,with self absorbed Beyonce placed in the middle showing not the slightest bit of interest, hand in pocket as well clearly demonstrates Beyonce is more concerned about her wedding ring or lack off being on display more that the actually event,to me this comes over as very unproffesional ,don’t like the outfit at all looks like something to worn on safari rather than a charity event

  30. MWNY

    I am a fan of Bey’s music but not the girl!!! I don’t like her choice of clothing either nor the long lace front!!!

  31. HOTMOMMA001

    No matter the motive as listed by some of the other posts, AT LEAST, she is giving back! That’s all that matters!

    However, I hope she doesn’t fall into the trap of trying to OUT-DO other artists just to get the recognition!

    Next……

  32. Ms. AKA

    BTW Love the freak’n belt!

  33. Barbie *The Real One*

    BEYONCE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS WOMEN…GOD BLESS BEYONCE SHE IS ALWAYS GIVING BACK…. AND I LOVE THAT OUTFIT THE QUEEN!!!!!

  34. JstBReal

    I’m glad to see her doing something charitable with her celebrity. It doesnt matter how she appears or if its just for show, its a great cause so thats all that matters.

  35. Ms. AKA

    Pure photo op to the tee. Check out the colors. Every one has Khaki on even B. So color coordinated… See this is whaqt I am talking about…

  36. Babatunde

    I don’t like the outfit, but she is a pretty lady!

  37. I POST BCUZ OF STUPID Ppl

    22!!!!!!! STUT UP WHY DOES SHE NEED 2 DRESS DOWN SHE IS GIVING FOOD AFTER SHE JUST GAVE AWAY ALL THOSE TICKETS JUS SHUT UP JUS TRYNA FIND THE NEGATIVE….. WHICH U FAILED COS THEIR IS NONE WHY WOULD SHE TRY AND HIDE THE FACT THAT SHE IS RICH BY WEARING CHEAP OUTFITS EVRYONE KNOWS SHE IS RICH SO WHAT IS THE POINT IN BEING FAKE AND TRYING TO PORTRAY THAT SO SHUT UP SHE IS DOING GOOD IF SHE DID THAT THEN YOU WOULD MAKE THE POINT THAT SHE COULDNT EVEN DRESS UP FOR THE EVENT YOU DONT LIKE SO GO OFF 2 SOME WHITE PERSONS POST COS ITS OBVIOUS YOU DONT LIKE TO SEE BLACK PPL DOING GOOD ………

  38. red soles diva

    oooooh i’m with u Uptown. i’ve been sayin that forever but i just get labeled as a HATER. but whatever, ur speaking the God-honest truth, i just wish these stans could open their eyes & see it. that link u posted is the spell-breaker! lol

  39. shayshay

    she is the fakest woman alive !

  40. Tiff.Will. ["No, my first name ain't baby, it's Janet..Ms.Jackson if ya' nasty"]

    Ummmm….

    Don’t be mad because you’re favorite artist just walks around all day clubbing and shaving half their head off and if not – their giving illegal tattoos.

    Give credit where it is due. Beyonce is a blessed woman who is using her wealth to help others, like we all should be doing. And she doesn’t need to dramatize things to gain recognition and/or remain a hot topic. Like um, shaving her head to look like a cockatoo.

  41. Deirdre B Pride

    That outfit is hideous.

  42. ms.jai

    HELPING OUT OTHERS AND GIVING BACK IS A WONDERFUL THING TO DO ITS TRULY A BLESSING THATS A GOOD LOOK 4 BEY

  43. D

    Whatevah!

    Why are people reading so much into this? It is not that big of a deal, at least to me.. so she gave her face to a charity.. sham wow! People do this every day.. I am ok with the fact that she one of them.. the less people hungry the better.. I only care about the poor folks.. that should be the focus and not the fact that she is the one doing it..

    There is too much emotion involved when it comes to Beyonce and personally, she ain’t worth all that.. she is beautiful and talented and blessed to be able to do what she loves. And that is it.. there is nothing life changing about her (no hate) because while she is a very talented performer, she is not changing lives. I can’t stan for anybody on God’s green earth except the big man upstairs!

    Wish folks would just chill a bit. Sorry for my essay but there are more important things to yell about like the problem of poverty, etc

  44. kriss

    I don’t understand why people like uptown have to be negative. She is giving back to the poor and i hope everyone like RED SOLES DIVA will notice and shut up!

  45. Domo

    WOOOOOOOOOW!!! Watch this music video someone made to Beyonce’s Deja Vu. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=2C-V3DYXFLY

  46. TELLITLIKEITIS

    Love Bey. BUT, I must go back to the BET AWACKNESS. I definitely believe that had she performed Sweet Dreams with a “Beat It” twist, her performance would have been more appreciated (by myself included).

  47. Siyah

    I wonder how much she’s getting paid to “help.” Yeah, I’m a little bitter about how our society is set up. Celebrities make a shit load of money for doing very little that adds very little of true relevance to society. So, the least she can do is help imo. Anyways, I bet Beyonce is just a spokesperson. I bet General Mills is frontin’ the bill and with all the money they make from their products 3.5 million meals across the country is chump change. I bet the sell 3.5 million or more meals across the country with in an hour or less everyday.

  48. I POST BCUZ OF STUPID Ppl

    you people make me laugh saying she aint nothing special like she is god she didint say she was GOD so why try to imply it 2nd off if you love god so much you know that you shouldnt judge anyone only god can do that so lets b thankful he is mercyful YOU PPL R TYING AWAY PREACHING LYK UR JESUS DIDNT NO BODY SAY SHE WAS GOD …….SO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS FINISH OFF READING THE REST OF THE BIBLE LOOK A PENNY FROM A MAN WHO OWNS A POUND N A MILLION FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS TEN IS THE SAME THING THEY ARE GIVING BACK ………

  49. Grown&Sexy

    WOW……..this chic is absolutley FLAWLESS.

  50. la_verite

    I usually do not comment on her posts because of all of the ridiculous praise and worship of the obsessed, but, that said…I think she looks nice, albeit a bit overdressed.

    She always strikes me as very disconnected and vapid. No one outside of her close personal circle will ever know the real her – she’s always “on” kinda like a pageant contestant, portraying an image. Other celebs, you have at least some sense their real personality and who they are, but she reminds me of a robot, or a stepford wife.

  51. Lu Dubber

    Ya’ll should check out that Beonce Ego “Booty” Remix on youtube….thats my ish….lol

    NEXT TIME JUST COMMENT ON YOUR HAMBURGER HELPER QUEEN AND LEAVE ME OUT OF IT.

  56. 2 BAD

    No negativity today? Why because it’s Beyonce? lol Who cares? She get’s the same treatment as everyone else.
    With that being said Those shorts are absolutely horrible! Just plain ugly!
    She looks like such a phoney baloney up there. This is a photo op plain and simple. That b!tch doesn’t give a sh!t about giving back. She is the most money hungry heffa in the world. And of course she is giving away free concert tix because that Sasha Farce sh!t is NOT selling out! She has no choice. Suck it up.

  57. 2 BAD

    And I agree with LaVerite. The second part about her fake personality.

  58. say huh?

    Bey is not only beautiful but shes a GREAT person
    shes very humble and thats whu ii LOVE HER…..

  59. Major Movie Star

    What I want to know, is she truly there to lend a helping hand or for a photo op for free concert publicity? She doesn’t look or dress like someone who is truly in touch with people who are hungry and struggling. She looks like its another photo op and a chance at a humanitarian award. SMDH! With that said, the outfit is hideous and highly inappropriate as Beyonce usually is. Tha airhead just doesn’t have a clue. She needs to take note from Michelle Obama and Alicia Keys among many. Even the first lady knows how to throw on jeans and a t-shirt to make a statement about helping and giving back. I guess as long as she doesn’t speak, its a good day for the hungry. SMDH x 2.

  60. Ashley_Bank$

    Her giving back is a great!
    Which is what matters!!
