BEYONC'E PROMOTES BLUE PRINT 3,,,,ALSO SIGNS $20MIL PERFUME DEAL

BEYONCE WAS SPOTTED @ MELLBOURN AIRPORT JUST HOURS BEFORE HER FIRST CONCERT OF HER AUSTRALIAN I AM... TOUR.... I THINK HER SHIRT WAS SOOO CUTE EVEN THOUGH I'M SURE JAY DOESN'T NEED IT BLUEPRINT 3 WILL DEFF BE ANOTHER #1 ALBUM ,,,

IN OTHER NEWS BEYONC'E HAS SIGNED A FRAGRANCE DEAL WITH COTY INC.TO PRODUCE HER OWN... THAT IS ALL THE INFO I HAVE ON THAT NOW BUT IT IS RUMORED THAT IS WORTH $20MIL....ALSO THE FRAGRANCE WILL BE AVAILABLE IN AMERICA IN 2010 SPRING.

ALL BLACK EERTHING, JAY, WEST & RIRI DID THERE THING LAST NIGHT

I KNOW I'M KINDA LATE WITH THIS VID BUT HERE'S THE RUN THIS TOWN PERFORMANCE ON JAY LENO LAST NIGHT.... I THINK IT WAS A GREAT... I WAS WONDERING IF WEST WOULD SHOW UP AFTER THE STUNT HE PULLED AT THE VMAs SUNDAY NIGHT,BUT HE DID AND THEY DID A TERRIFIC JOB... ALL BLACK EERTHING LOL......

Lil Mama apologize

Lil mama yesterday at the VMA i guess thought she could take a cue from Kanye and ran on stage after Jay-z feat. Alicia keys performance of Empire State of Mind and posed with them. Today she posted via twitter

I didn't mean to disrespect Jay-z or Alicia Keys. I admire them and look up to them as role models. Empire state of mind had my emotions running high In the moment u came up on stage to celebrate my two icons on stage with each other

Riri showed face last night but not @ the VMAs

RIRI was confirmed to be @ the VMAs last night but she was a no show,,,but she sure did show up to Jay-Z's after party @ the 40/40.... I'm loving her get up...

The Highlights Of the Show

MORE HOT PHOTO'S FROM THE VMA'S

After the incident kanye left the show. On his blogsite Kanye apologies to Taylor Swift. I hope he learns from his mistakes....

Jay-Z gives us another smash performance this week. Following his concert Friday on Fuse. Jay teamed up with Alicia Keys to perform the song Empire State Of Mind off of his latest Album Blueprint 3. The performance had the audience on there feet. Alicia sounded great and Jay-z delivered.

As you can see VMA winner Beyonce was not shy about letting us know why she still is a force to be reckoned with. Even though single ladies is a year old she still brought the crowd to its feet with her amazing rendition. She turned the show into a BEYONCE concert. She brought the fire, energy and vocal that we know and love. Congrats to her and winning VIDEO OF THE YEAR
.

VMA'S Best New Artist Lady Gaga showed us how theatrical and persuasive she could be as she performed Paparazzi. Entering the stage in all white and completely capturing the attention of the audience she continued to go the extra mile. She gives us a small section of her on the piano in which afterwards she kills her self on stage. Amazing Congrats to her on her award.Later that night while accepting the VIDEO OF THE YEAR AWARD. Beyonce corrected Kanye West mistake and gave Fellow winner Taylor Swift an opportunity to finish making her acceptance speech. Beyonce gets all kind of cool points for this. That's a true sport and shows she is humble.
