Go behind the scenes with Beyoncé as she shoots two commercials for Style Savvy, a new fashion video game for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi. Five designs from the real-life Deréon clothing line co-created by Beyoncé and her mother, designer Tina Knowles, will be available for download in Style Savvy in the coming months.







Beyoncé painted the town red at the launch of her first-ever Beyoncé Heat fragrance on Tuesday (Feb. 2). Hot off her record-breaking six Grammy wins this weekend, B sizzled in a red cocktail dress at 15 Union Square West in New York City. Usher, her sister Solange, mother Tina Knowles, and Destiny’s Child bandmate Michelle Williams all shared in the sweet smell of B’s success.

It looks like Madonna is once again on the market. The 51-year-old pop star and her 23-year-old Brazilian boy toy Jesus Luz have reportedly broken up after a much-gawked-at one-year relationship.

The word is that Jesus broke things off. TheChicago Sun-Times reports that "it not only was totally amicable, but it was Luz who initiated the split." So it sounds like the two can still be friends. They both undeniably benefitted from the one-year hook-up. Madonna was able to step out with a hot young model, proving that she doesn't need Guy Richie and that she is the Queen Cougar of all time. Jesus was able to get the kind of exposure he could have never drummed up on his own.

The two broke onto the scene as a couple in the March, 2009 issue of W magazine with asteamy photo spread showing Madonna and her chiseled, young Brazilian. The two are said to have broken up because of a lack of common interests.

Considering their differences, it must have taken a lot of work to keep things going for a year. Not only is there the age gap, but English is not Jesus' native language and the pop star was paying for language lessons so they could better communicate.

Jay-Z expects wife Beyonce Knowles to win music awards because she’s so “magnificent." The "99 Problems" rapper – whose spouse took home a record-breaking six gongs at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night – is always confident the "Halo" singer will win whenever she is nominated.

Beyonce, 28, also performed at the ceremony covering Alanis Morissette’s "You Oughta Know," as well as singing her own song "If I Were A Boy," and husband Jay-Z admits he never felt so proud of her. “I’m a fan, you know, I’m a big fan,” he said.

The hip-hop star also spoke about how he believes Usher is in line to fill Michael Jackson's "huge shoes" as the new King of Pop.

Referring to the performance of "Earth Song" in tribute to Michael at the ceremony, Jay-Z told Access Hollywood: “I thought the Michael Jackson tribute was fantastic and I thought Usher was doing a magnificent job. I think he’s one of the guys that's in line to fill those huge shoes. I don’t wanna put that pressure on him, but I think he’s one of the guy’s that’s in line to do that."

The tribute – which featured Celine Dion, Usher, Jennifer Hudson and Smokey Robinson among others – was accompanied by a 3-D mini-film which was created by Michael as part of his planned "This Is It" tour.

Fantasia is on the rebound after making an appearance on Wednesday’s “Oprah Winfrey Show.” The “American Idol” winner channeled her struggles into an emotionally-charged performance of her new song “Even Angels.”

“I have to be in control of it all,” she told Oprah. “I’m glad that I went through it because now it has made me stronger and wiser, and I know that I can’t allow people to just take control of my destiny.”

Janet Jackson says that even after seven months, she still feels like her late brother, pop star Michael Jackson, could call her at any time.

Janet Jackson appeared at the BET awards just days after the death of her brother. (Getty)"It gets sad sometimes because, I don't know, you think your phone is going to ring and you hear that voice calling your name," she said. "But, yeah, life goes on and everybody grieves differently. And every day is different. Some days it's much easier than others."

The younger sister of the "Thriller" star, who died last June from acute Propofol intoxication at 50, says her grief gets easier with every day that passes, but she would do anything to hear him speak again. Janet, 43, also revealed Michael’s untimely passing made her realise she needed to make changes in her life.

"A lot of people in this industry have a lot of 'yes' people. That I can tell you I do not have. A lot has changed in my life this year, a lot of changes, I think I'm kind of heading in a different direction for sure," she said in an interview with Wonderland magazine.

One ambition Janet now wants to fulfil is to "kick somebody's ass" in an action movie.

"There was a time when I met with the Wachowski brothers to do The Matrix, a long time ago but there were scheduling conflicts," she said. "I want to kick somebody's ass. Anybody's, as long as I get to kick somebody's ass. Kick a new hole in their butt. Rip 'em a new butthole, I'd love to do that."

The first pictures from Monday's star-packed recording session for the remake of "We Are the World," were released Tuesday and it looks like the follow-up will be a landmark moment in 2010.

Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie brought back the "We Are the World" project 25 years after Richie wrote the song with Michael Jackson (Getty)The very large cast of very large stars was surely hard to manage. Kanye West reportedly showed up to the Jim Henson Studios with an entourage complete with girlfriend Amber Roseand a film crew. In 1985, Quincy Jones did his best to get his talent in line by hanging a sign over the studio entrance that said, "Check Your Ego at the Door."

While the orginal recording was sold to raise money in the fight against world famine, the remake will be sold to benefit victims of the recent earthquake in Haiti. Many stars have already started talking about the experience, and it sounds like it will match up to the original.


Nicole Richie was there with her father, Lionel Richie, when he worked on the original. This time she was there with husband Joel Madden and their son, Sparrow. She wrote on her Twitter Monday, "WOW. Brian Wilson stood next to me & I got to hear him sing right into my left ear. Can you say AWESOME!"

Meanwhile young singer Justin Bieber said he could barely keep his eyes off Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls. He Tweeted, "Singing We Are The World right now with celine dion next to me!! Everyone is here!! I'm meeting everyone!! This is insane! Ok ok chill."

The full list of all 81 choir singers hasn't yet been released, but here are some of the stars we know were there.

The Jackson brothers -- Marlon, Tito, Jackie and Jermaine -- are still mourning the death of their brother Michael and feel his presence wherever they go. Tito, 56, said: “No matter what we’re doing -- working in the studio or rehearsing dance steps -- there’s an emptiness there. You feel it constantly. It’s bearing down on you. Emotionally it’s very difficult to sing these songs without Michael. Just to hear him on the radio today is very emotional.”

Michael and Randy Jackson (Getty)Jackie also claimed he can feel the King of Pop around him. He said: “Michael is with us 24/7. Every time you turn around there he is on TV. He’s always with us.”

Jackie added he didn’t believe that Michael was gone when he was first told. He said: “Someone told me my brother was dead. It was very hard for me to believe. So I called my mother and she was screaming and hollering and crying.”

Marlon, 52, also admitted the death was difficult to deal with. He said in an interview with theDaily Mirror newspaper: “Michael was a major part of the Jackson Five and of course he was a brother long before we became famous. I don’t think people will ever understand the loss of Michael as a brother versus a pop star. Losing a sibling is devastating.”

Lady Gaga is planning to drop $479,000 to buy the piano she played with Elton John during their performance at the Grammy Awards. The singer is desperate to buy the instrument, which was designed by controversial Canadian artist Terence Koh, after she and the legendary star opened the awards ceremony on Sunday with a medley of "Poker Face," "Speechless" and "Your Song."

The black piano with arms reaching out of it was beautiful and it's no surprise she wants it, especially after giving one of the performances of her career."

Earlier this week, Gaga described her duet with Elton as a dream come true and admitted that she couldn't control her emotions before the show. The 23-year-old pop star said: "I ruined all of my make-up right before the show. Crying... I was just so happy. I had been fantasizing about this performance piece for a while and we got to do it and I'm just really truly floored."

It seems likely Gaga may be able to get the money together, as her bankability is at an all-time high. She was reportedly paid almost $48,000 for a two-hour DJ set at an exclusive London club Maya on January 20. The singer also managed to raise donations of $500,000 for victims of the Haiti earthquakes on January 27 with an impromptu show in New York.

Not even a jail cell can hold down Lil Wayne. After releasing his rock album Rebirth, performing with Eminem and Drake at the Grammys, and singing Bob Dylan’s part on the “We Are the World” remake, Wayne is not worried about his impending prison sentence.


“I’m prepared for any situation,” the rapper tells Rolling Stone for the magazine’s latest issue. “I’ve never been afraid of anything but God. I look at it as an experience. I say I’m looking forward to it.”

He will keep abreast of the outside world while he’s gone through music. “I’ll have an iPod, and I’ll make sure [my management] keeps sending me beats.” He plans to keep his name out there through jailhouse Twitter accounts and endorsements.

So how will Weezy spend his last days of freedom before heading to prison on February 9 to serve a year on gun possession? This Sunday, he will be watching the New Orleans Saints take on the Indianapolis Colts at Super Bowl XLIV. But that doesn’t mean he’ll be rooting for his home team.

“Even though he’s from the City, he’s a true sports fan,” says Young Money president Mack Maine. “He’s like a scientist about that. He has ESPN tattooed on his leg. I love sports, but I’m for my home team. Wayne, he’s different.”

According to the magazine, Tha Carter IV, Wayne’s highly-anticipated follow-up to 2008’s best-selling album, is scheduled to arrive shortly after he gets out in 2011.

Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri may no longer be romantically involved, but that’s not stopping the former couple from rekindling their magic in the studio.


Producer-songwriter Bryan-Michael Cox revealed that he and J.D. are reteaming with the pop star for her next album, the first since 2008’s Discipline. “I’m producing Janet’s album with Jermaine and it’s going to be hot,” B. Cox told Rap-Up.com at Tricky Stewart’s pre-Grammy party last Friday. “That’s all I can say so far.”

His producing partner Kendrick “WyldCard” Dean also chimed in, adding, “Some great collabos on there,” but didn’t disclose further details.

Janet has been in the studio with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins working on her 11th studio album, due this year on A&M Records. She is also set to add her vocals to the “We Are the World” remake, singing her brother Michael’s part.

First there were the Osbournes, the Hogans, and the Kardashians. Now the Norwoods are set to join the roster of famous reality families by starring in their own television show.


The superstar siblings will appear in the VH1 reality program “Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business,” along with their parents, entertainment manager and mother Sonja and musical father Willie Norwood. The one-hour, 11-episode series will give viewers a first-hand glimpse into the lives of the Norwood family and their family business, Rn’B Productions.

Run by Sonja, Rn’B Productions features a roster of musical artists including Brandy, Ray J, and their father Willie, who also serves as the company’s vocal coach. But with Sonja ready to take a step down, Brandy and Ray J will have to fill her shoes quickly all the while taking the family business to the next level.

The show documents Brandy as she records her next album with Timbaland, while raising her seven-year-old daughter Sy’rai. Her younger brother Ray J digs beyond his notorious bad boy image and collaborates on his own musical project with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins and other producers.

Reality television is nothing new for the famous siblings. Both have starred on reality shows, Brandy in 2002’s MTV series “Diary Presents Brandy: Special Delivery” and Ray J in VH1’s “For the Love of Ray J.”

Will the Norwoods have what it takes to continue to stay in the limelight while growing an entertainment empire? Watch as they overcome obstacles and stick together in “Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business,” premiering on VH1 Sunday, April 11, at 9 p.m.

From Lady Gaga and Elton John’s dazzling duet, Beyoncé’s army of dancers, a 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson, and the triple threat of Eminem, Drake, and Lil Wayne, the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards were full of memorable moments.

Which one of these performances will you be talking about tomorrow? Relive some of them below.

The Grammys put on quite a show during the telecast, but the real spectacle was backstage and in the audience where a tea-sipping Lady Gaga chatted with Celine Dion, Jay-Z was introduced to Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson’s three children posed with their father’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and Solange’s 5-year-old son Julez stole the spotlight from his famous aunt and uncle.
