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.

  1. WTF

    No she can’t dress. She is a country bama bumpkin. She looks so stupid. I bet she was like “Solange girl wait til you see what I’m wearing today!”

  2. huh

    im confused, are you a stan or hater because your comment was just all over the place
    Jimmy Choo. you and the idiot you worship are getting on my last nerves
    how dare you talk about that untalented bitch
    i could care less about Beyonce but at least she’s doing something meaningful
    unlike that media wh0re

    @ ‘wtf’ where you at her concert cause you know a lot bout what went down
    if you truly hate her like you’re trynna sound, then why would you spend YOUR money on her lmfao. girl please!
    jimmy choo all you care bout is the number of comments and nothing else
    on Rih’s posts, that’s all you were talking bout and now on Bey’s post, you’re back with your foolishness
    you know damn well you, iapple and lady love all commented bout 20 times each
    when it comes to Bey, her stans don’t need to go back and forth looking for ways to make her sound like she’s doing her thing. Her actions say it all
    one comment and everyone knows what we’re talking about. shame it aint the same for your ‘singer’.

  4. PUHHHLEEZE!!!!!!!!

    @ OIIIIIIII…….Just like the commercial, when she was posing like an ANTM model.

    WTF was that???????????????????????????????

    I think it was suppose 2 be a commercial 4 hungry people, but I was confused, because of the way she was posing, so I’m watching the commercial, & I was thinking 2 myself “SARAH MCLACHLAN DID A WAY BETTER JOB 4 THE STARVING ANIMALS COMMERCIAL, THEN BEYONCE DID 4 THE STARVING HUMANS COMMERCIAL.”

    WTF!

  5. Mrs. sk8board p (ak & bk stan)

    Bey looks all purty and stuff, but the outfit is not cute to me

  6. KISS MY A**

    @HUH,

    I’m a fan, who was addressing her so-called psychotic stans.
    I was basically showing the huge difference between her fans (the so-called haters),
    and her stans……………I was exposing her stans 4 the fakes that they are.

  7. backingbarack

    her top wouldve been fine with some nice tight pants or a cute black mini skirt but damn those pants need to be burned. wtf is she thinking? stop trying to promote your wack mothers clothing line bc no one is buying it or wearing it.

    beyonce wearing house of dereon is making her look cheap and like she lives in the projects and waits on the bus.

    also im mad at that damn promo and black donation box. beyonce is trying to look gentle with her one hand stroking her face. get the hell out of here. beyonce stop trying so hard to be humble bc it looks bad and we all know you are not. you love the good life and wouldnt trade it for the world. the ppl wearing red shirts and everyone else in this world are beneath you, princess. >>sigh<<

  8. backingbarack

    oh and the first photo she looks dirty. from the dried weave down to the pants. ill give the shoes a pass bc they are cute but she looks mad cheap there.

  9. Ana

    KYLA , HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DISLIKE A PERSON THAT YOU DON’T KNOW………………..NOW THATS DUMB, WHAT YOU MEANT TO SAY, I DON’T LIKE BEYONCE BECAUSE OF MY “WHO I THINK SHE IS”. YOU HAVE TO KNOW SOMEONE TO LIKE OR DISLIKE THEM. JUST BECAUSE SHE PHOTOGRAPH EVERYDAY, OR YOU HEAR RUMORS, THAT DON’T MEAN YOU KNOW A PERSON. KNOWING A PERSON IS ACTUALLY HAVING THE CHANCE TO CONVERSE WITH THEM VERBALLY AS WELL AS IN PERSON, SPENDING TIME WITH THEM, KNOWING THEIR FEARS, DREAMS, ASPIRATIONS ETC. NOT WATCHING THEM ON TV DO INTERVIEWS OR READING ABOUT IN THE MAGAZINES OR SEEING HE OR SHE PERFORM ON STAGE……..LOL

  10. iAPPLE

    LOVE LOVE Beyonce…That Outfit is Cute, Dont understand why some would say it looks horrible yet what they wear or anybody else they know cant compete!!!

  11. Hot

    Mama South is trying so soooooooo hard to look like Rih ,, The fashion icon , and act like she care’s , @22 Ur right , ,. , Why is she so over dressed ? ? ?

    I feel the same way…………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.

    Beyonce or Mama South ,, wake up fool .

  12. DD

    less and less comments…..

  13. iAPPLE

    @132.

    Hot…………

    Um Beyonce is Soooo Not Over-dressed! Maybe she shoudlve wore a T-shirt and Jeans like that but then again maybe she had somewhere to be afterwards!

    But she is sure not over-dressed, Over-dressed is what Lady Gaga does when she’s just going to eat!

    I wonder why Beyonce does not have her own charity where she can really make a difference. She always lends her name..cuz she can pretend to be out there but the organization is doing all the work…she doesn’t even have to make a donation…people need to be aware! if you think about it, she has never really given much back within the community….neither is Jay Z known for giving back….No christmas give away…etc….! sHE SAYS ALL THE RIGHT STUFF…BUT ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!
    —————————————————————————————————–

    YOUR IGNORANT POST JUST SHOWED YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BEYONCE OR JAY-Z. BEYONCE, KELLY & FAMILY HAVE THEIR OWN CHARITY BASED IN HOUSTON. JAY-Z IS KNOWN FOR PASSING OUT GIFTS IN MARCY PROJECT IN BROOKLYN. NOW THE FUNNY THING IS BEYONCE WAS TAUGHT EARLY ABOUT GIVING TO THE LESS FORTUNATE. HER FATHER STARTED TAKING HER TO FEED THE HOMELESS WHEN SHE WAS A CHILD. BEYONCE DOES ALOT, SHE JUST DOESN’T HAVE THE CAMERA IN HER FACE WHEN SHE DOES IT.
    HERE IS A VIDEO FOR THE PEOPLE…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPh90tlMqro ENJOY!

  15. I LOVE HER OUTFIT! I DRESS UP IN HEELS EVERYDAY TOO AND DONT EVEN OWN A PAIR OF CASUAL SHOES. BEE DOESNT HAVE TO CHANGE HER STYLE TO PLEASE FOLKS. GOOD JOB, BEAUTIFUL BEYONCE!

  16. Island Beat!

    good for you, Beyonce! I like her and she seems like a genuinely nice person. But Beyonce hun, PLEASE do something about the weave. it just…it looks, worn out. You’re too gorgeous to be rockin that tired weave.

  17. SJOYA

    GIVING BACK IN THE TRUE MICHAEL JACKSON STYLE…….I SENSE A HUMANITARIAN AWARD COMING SOON!!!! I AM PROUD OF YOU BEY….

  18. WTF

    @ April
    You are such a dumb stupid azz b!tch! If you were not such a dumb azz you would have seen that Lola wrote a comment about them putting a number on the screen for people to donate money. Hell no I wouldn’t waste my time going to see Beyawnsay. And I have never bought her CD’s either. You can keep paying for her lacefronts but not me.

    @ Candi-Renee
    I bet you have corns all over your raggedy ashy azz feet just like Beyawnsay too. Talking about you wear heels everyday. You sound dumb as hell too.

  19. @WTF, U WISH BITCH. IF I SHOWED U A PIC OF MY PRETTY AZZ TOES, U WOULD LOOK STUPID. INSTEAD OF WORRYING BOUT WHAT I ROCK ON MY FEET, U SHOULD WORRY ABOUT FIXING UR UNHAPPY AZZ SOUL, YA DUMB HOE! I BET IF I SEEN UR PIC I REALLY WOULD BE SAYING WTF?

  20. wtf

    b!tch be for real! I see your pic and I’m about ready to throw up. People on this site have said you were a funny looking ugly azz hoe more than once. Please don’t ever ever ever talk sh!t when you look like that. lmao! What a joke.

  21. mkef9779

    when’s the last time she ate any of that non-nutritional shit that she’s internationally vouching?

  22. @WTF, THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME TO CONTROL UR EMOTIONS. FOR ME TO BE A FUNNY LOOKIN HOE, I SURE GOT U HATIN KINDA HARD WHICH TELLS ME IM DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. STOP TRYING TO MAKE UR LOW SELD ESTEEM, NO BACKBONE HAVIN THIRSTY AZZ FEEL BETTER BY BRINGING UP OTHER FOLKS TO COSIGN UR INVINCIBLE AZZ. ATLEAST IM BOLD ENOUGH ENOUGH TO POST MY PIC AND PLENTY MORE, BUT WHERE IS URS? TYPING LIKE U BOUT IT, PLEASE, STOP JOKING. NO LIFE HAVING, WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THE NEXT CHICK DOING STUPID BITCH! STAY MAD, LMAO!

  23. WHY WHY WHY

    SHE NEEDS TO EAT SOME FOOD.

  24. serenitysoulful

    I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!! I knew Ma & Pa Kettle (knowles) would start rolling out the pics with they’re perfect lil darling doing charity work. Mama Knowles was PISSED after seeing Alicia Keys and Wyclef get the BET Humanitarian award… watch Beyonce get it next year.

  25. serenitysoulful

    @Kyla (#98)
    I’m with you on that. If Beyonce was there to REALLY help..she would’ve dressed casual, rolled up her sleeve and got to work. But I guess the only working she knows is gyrating for cash..(smh)

    If Pa Kettle reads this blog.. I’d bet he say..she changed her clothes.. haha

  26. Classy:If U Seek Amy

    She looks really pretty. Weave’s not so bad this time. Love the outfit!

  27. here we go again

    the only thing Rihanna’s stans can use against Bey is that her posts have more comments than Bey’s
    and the reason is because every Rih post must bash Bey so her stans go on there defending her thereby increasing the # of comments
    and Rih stans have a habit of commenting several times….lol
    it’s sad yaw sit online all day hoping and praying for the comment #s to increase, puhlease that’s the last thing that bothers us over here
    Bey and her stans know damn well no one can touch her. Get it Queen Bee!

  28. sosiccwitswagga

    BEYONCE IS SUCH AN AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL WOMAN INSIDE AND OUT I LOVE YOU BEYONCE AND THANK U FOR GIVING BACK

    PS. HI HATERS…

  29. what is is

    I love Beyonce! She way better than that RIHtard.

  30. LADYRAY

    I DO HAVE SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY BLESSES IS NOT A WORD .

  31. PUHHHLEEZE!!!!!!!!

    @ SERENITYSOULFUL,

    You ain’t neva lied, I’m witchu on that 1, lol.
    When I was watching that part of the B.E.T AWARDS,
    I was thinking the same thing,
    but it don’t matter, because at the end of the day, we all know who’s the
    “BIGGEST HUMANITARIANS,” & that is “Alicia Keys, Angelina Jolie, Wyclef Jean &
    besides “GOD,” the biggest of them all…………..my baby “MICHAEL JACKSON!!!”
    1LUV MJ!!!

  32. wtf

    @ candi_renee
    lol yes I’m mad that you put that pic up and insulted my eyes. It’s always funny when a ugly b!tch gets mad! lol! I can just imagine how much worse you look when you get all worked up. Woof! Hating on you? roflmao! b!tch you need a reality check. On here talking about you wear heels every day and your pretty azz toes! lmao. like anybody gives a sh!t about your rusty azz yellow toenails project feet. Didn’t nobody ask you. Funny looking b!tches always trying to make sh!t about them. But I know this is the most attention you get so you can thank me later.

  33. msblknasty1

    that lace front is gonna fall off sooner or later ….the third picture…them edges is awful … those house of pure shit knickers = fail lol …. who the fuck eats salty ass hamburger helper yuck …… she is dying to take dat hair to another level….but she scurrrrred … her scalp must be fuuuuuuuuuuucked up lolol

  34. Ms Riley

    I always notice on here that whenever the subject of Beyonce is brought up, there is always constant negativity. Why do we need to consider her clothes/fashoin sense? Does this have anything to do with the charity event? It just shows how shallow and callous people can be ,seeing as the woman is giving back to the community and yet we chose to concerntrate on her fashion sense instead of appraising her for her generocity. Why you think she is at the charity event doesn’t matter. Publicity stunt or not, she is giving back.

    People pretend as if they know the artist more than the artist know themselves. How can you tell from a still image that an artist is feigning it? How can yo tell from a still image what she is concerned about? Stop judging people. No one’s perfect and for you sit at home and point out every flaw is just a sign. Think about what you are writing. It is ignorant and irrational. If you gonna hate, make sure you have evidence and valid reasons to back it up.

    @ 70..Try to be more like Rihanna? Let me think about that prospect. Now, if she tried to do that, what would the public say? We would rantle on and say that “she is trying to be different like rihanna does” and that “she’s fake” and the usual palaver…

  35. LOL

    @ Ms Riley
    Oh please spare me.
    People are just as negative about Rihanna, Ciara, Cassie,and everybody else. It’s all about who you like/don’t like. Don’t come up in here acting like Beyonce is the only one that gets negative comments. You have already exposed yourself as far as who you like/support vs. who you don’t. Cut the bull.

  36. Kyla

    Lol @ ANA

    @ 146 SERENITYSOULFUL – exactly.

  37. Sorry, nothing this chick does seems genuine to me. Every move seems to be a calculated marketing tool or commercial move for gains for money or prestige regarding her image.

    Funny since Michael Jackson was recognized as the greatest pop star giving the most donations in history, now she does this…PHONEY! Alicia Keys, Wyclef Jean stand up…real contributors for years…

  38. @111 Alicia Keys did this phone donation move already for years….all of the sudden Bey is jumping on the bandwagon. Give me a break! When u real, u real, when U not, U NOT> Bey dont give a care about “poor folks” and “giving back”. It’s all about tax write-offs and “looking like” she cares for humanity. Chick and her team are FRAUDS!!!

  39. i'm sayin' tho

    photo op…and what i wouldnt give to hear the unnatural, heartless, staged speech……..helping others nevertheless, so for that, im thankful for her

  40. This is sad. Chick is at the top of her game and don’t know how to sit down. Her face is literally everywhere…and since Alicia got that award, trust me, you will see Bey contributing her heart out with more photo ops…she’s extremely competitive and jealous! Trust me on that!

  41. Ara

    I don’t know what yall talking about, Bey looks good

  42. PEACE AT HEART

    I’m surprised noone mentioned how her pants look like a pen*s riding in the middle, those pants are a mess…

    It’s about time people are realizing how disconnected she really is, it’s obvious she’s NOT a good actress, b/c she can’t hide the fact she really could care less about this charity and the cause behind it, it’s shows in her aura (eyes)….

    there are some people that can wear the heck out of clothes (yes Ri Ri does,not a fan, but she’s can rock some fashion) while others can’t, it is what it is…

  43. bored

    She looks very nice and doing a wonderful thing..

    @75 giving money away is not being fake it’s being generous!

    I feel sorry for Beyonce, cause no matter what she does it’s always something wrong with it. But I’m glad she does it and she has the last laugh anyway so continue to voice your whatever’s while she continues to move on up!

  44. Landie

    GO SASHA FIERCE!!!

  45. Anonymous

    Isn’t it obvious that the only reason she is so interested in humanitarian work is because Michael Jackson’s death showcased his love for humanitarian work and Alicia Keys was recently awarded for her outstanding humanitarian work. Everybody knows that Beyonce can’t stand competition so she has to make sure that her face is plastered everywhere. She could care less about being there. This is just another photo op where she is most definitely getting paid millions just to be there.

  46. halcyon

    Beyonce shouldn’t wear these colors. Its way too close to her skin color and does nothing but wash her out. On a good note,no bedazzlers were hurt in the making of this outfit.

  47. coco1281

    Some of yall really kill me….just say you can’t stand her and let that be that and never come on her post to comment b/c the ish you guys say about her is retarded…she looks fake, she’s not a nice person blah blah blah..you don’t even really know the chic and who are you to say who is geniune or not..The girl gives back (way more than this) and you busters/haters/low-life judgemental fools still will come up w/ something negative to say…dang go pray the lord can help you w/the hate in your heart!!!

  48. nike

    TONIO and DOMO. i bet you’re the same person, HOWEVER, no one cares about the video.

  49. R.Zoe

  53. Deann

  54. Kabooty

    All you haters need to back off! Beyonce is a great, hardworking, independent, and beautiful young woman. She works to the max and puts 100% into to everything. If you guys noticed she is probably one of the few singers that can sing and dance at the same time without catching her breath. She is amazing and ALL YOU HATERS NEED TO BACK THE F*** OFF!!! She is like no other and i know you know i am right! much love to you B!
    love your #1 fan,
    Kabooty
