The Carters escaped to Europe for an early summer vacation. The superstar couple and their daughter Blue Ivy packed their bags and headed to Italy for a lavish getaway, and Queen Bey shared some of the personal pics with her BeyHive on her website.
The “Flawless” singer chowed down on pizza, snacked on gelato, and rode a carousel with Blue. Jay Z also got in on the fun, snapping a photo of his wife in front of the Venice canals, and mom and daughter took some time to smell the roses—literally.
Bey and Jay were in Italy attending the wedding of business mogul Noam Gottesman and his wife, fashion executive Bianca Dueñas, near Florence over the weekend.
She still talking....Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran called it quits after it was revealed that the singer had a baby with another woman. On Wednesday, Breezy’s ex stopped by “Big Boy’s Morning Show” on Real 92.3 to discuss their highly-publicized breakup. She confirmed that they are no longer together. “I am 100 percent single,” said Karrueche.
Although they run in the same circles, they have managed to avoid each other, but she is frequently reminded of Chris from social media and the radio. “I kinda just have to block it out.”
Just like everyone else, she learned that Chris was a father from TMZ. “I was like, ‘Oh..OK…Ugh!'” said Karrueche. “I called him, I cussed him out, and I was like [dusts hands off].”
She admits that they were having relationship problems before the news broke. “After the whole Rihanna thing, we’ve been trying to fix what was broken. And that was just the icing on the cake. So I just had to completely pull away.”
She also denied any beef with Rihanna. “We just dated the same guy and that’s kinda what it is,” explained Karrueche. “It’s always like a competition thing and they compare us, but she is Rihanna. She’s a pop star, she’s beautiful. She makes great music, and I’m just me and I’m growing and working into myself. So you can’t really compare us. We’re completely different girls.”
Singer Tamar Braxton has just graced her fans with a new single, If I Don’t Have You, and news of a new album, Calling All Lovers, due out July 31. Tamar broke the news simultaneously via all her social media accounts, as well as word that radio stations across the country will be playing the single today every hour on the hour. The single has also been made available via Vevo, which you can check out below.
Calling All Lovers will be Tamar’s fourth album and her first since 2013’s Christmas offering Winter Loverland. The video for the single is rumored to be shown during an upcoming episode of Braxton Family Values and Tamar’s daytime reality show The Real.
The 44-year-old beauty was spotted leaving dinner with Udoka. Her finger was weighted down by a 10-carat diamond engagement ring.
E! News has exclusively confirmed with the actress' rep that she is engaged to her longtime boyfriend Ime Udoka, but neither of the two lovebirds had made any mention of the big news. Until now, that is.
Long and the former NBA player and San Antonio Spurs assistant coach have been romantically linked for over five years now, and also have a son together, 3-year-old Kez.
He joins brother Massai, Long's son from a previous relationship, in the family fold. Kez is Udoka's first child.
Being Mary Jane actress Gabrielle Union is set to star in two film releases in 2016: Sleepless Night with Jamie Foxx and Keanu, which stars comedians Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. Sleepless Night is a remake of the French film Nuit Blanche and tells the story of a corrupt cop who must retrieve a bag of drugs in order to rescue his son whose been taken by a murderous drug lord. Gabrielle will play Foxx’s ex-wife. This will be the second time the pair have teamed up on the big screen. They first appeared together in the Sony Pictures 2004 romantic comedy Breakin’ all the Rules.
Gabrielle will play Keegan-Michael Key’s wife in “Keanu,” a comedy about two uptight lawyers who pretend to be drug dealers in order to retrieve a stolen kitten. I wish I was making that synopsis up, but I am not. Let’s hope it’s funnier than it sounds. Gabby is presently on hiatus, as the second season of “Being Mary Jane” wrapped up last month. The show was given an early season three renewal and is expected to return to the air in January.
Queen of the night. Rihanna reigns over her kingdom in the fourth installment of Dior’s “Secret Garden” series. The dark and enchanting four-minute clip was shot at the Palace of Versailles by famed photographer Steven Klein. The fashion icon sparkles in a shimmery dress as she struts through a hallway filled with chandeliers.
She stuns in a flowy red gown before changing into black with a veil while perusing her palace at night. For her final look, she wears white and takes a spin through the royal garden.
The 27-year-old becomes Dior’s first-ever black spokeswoman. “It feels fantastic” she told MTV News. “It is such a big deal for me, for my culture, for a lot of young girls of any color. I think to be acknowledged by Dior means a lot, as a woman, to feel beautiful—to feel elegant and timeless.”
For the second time in less than a week, Hip-Pop star Nicki Minaj has released a video from her Gold certified 2104 album The Pinkprint.
Last weeks’s offering was the visual for Feeling Myself, which featured Beyonce, while this week’s offering is The Night is Still Young, which Nicki performed at the Billboard Awards earlier this week alongside David Guetta.
And while visually and lyrically different, what the videos both have in common is that they are Tidal exclusives. If you’re not subscribed to the streaming channel, no fear, someone will eventually rip it or Nicki herself will make it available to Vevo and You Tube. You can also sign up for 30 free days of service which will also give you access to the video. In the meantime, enjoy the screenshots. Or you can bite the bullet...WATCH QUEEN NICKI OWN THE NIGHT
