Mr Dolce and Mr Gabbana many have had to make some last minute alterations to Beyonce Knowles’ Fall 2011 look before her performance at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards tonight.

She maybe pregnant, but she’s not slowing down just yet.

The singer put in an energetic performance on stage at the Nokia Theatre LA Live, much to the delight of her fans.


A masculine tuxedo look included a purple sequin jacket with wide black lapels which was teamed with a white shirt with a fitted black band and black loose-fitting pants.

The petite actress chose an intricate black Julien MacDonald Fall 2011 dress.

Her gothic look features a high lace neckline, a short skirt in the front and an overlay in the back with a longer train.

Selena brightened up her dark ensemble by adding gold accessories, including Brian Atwood pumps, a Judith Leiber metallic box clutch, Ofira gold drop earrings with black stones and a gorgeous black and gold Ofira cuff.

She finished her look by pulling her hair back into a casual bun and wearing pink lip-gloss.

I love Selena’s accessories but think her dress is a little too sophisticated for the MTV VMA Awards.

I wish she had opted for something brighter, younger and more fun.

The 2011 MTV Video Music Awards wouldn’t be the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards without at least one Falguni & Shane Peacock dress on the red carpet.

I think it’s the law as far as this event is concerned.

Kelly Rowland donned this gorgeous creation from the designers Fall 2011 collection on the red carpet tonight.

So far there have been a lot of black looks, but I do love this one.

The gold embroidered dress with a feathered skirt and leather harness-style detail wrapped around her waist is the perfect sexy, confident look I would expect from Kelly.

Her look would’ve been significantly better if Kelly had opted for a better hairstyle (when will she retire that awful wig?)

Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Spikes peep-toes and a black clutch completed her look.

The mother-to-be was beaming with joy and pride wearing a Lanvin Fall 2011 gown.

I love the bright orange colour of her one-shoulder silk crepe cut-away gown. It was the only look I liked at this lackluster event.

Her big announcement was matched by some amazing big bold Lorraine Schwartz jewels which included an emerald ring which provided a nice contrasting to her bold hue of her gown and huge silver earrings.

A side sweeping ponytail completed her look.

Maternity watch will be very interesting.
The singer picked a long-sleeved printed Roberto Cavalli Pre-Fall 2011 gown.

I instantly disliked her blue gown with black detailing, as it feels too all over the place with a leopard print on the top half and floral print on the bottom.

Although her dress is backless, it’s still an aging look for Miley which wasn’t helped with her diamond Lorraine Schwartz choker.

The rest of her jewelry included drop earrings and a huge statement ring.

She finished her look with a pulled back up-do and smoky eye shadow.


Zoe Saldana wore a Barbara Bui Fall 2011 LBD.

Her tweed mini dress was embellished with gold and silver military-style details and leather panels.

Judging by the runway this wasn’t supposed to be a top, but Zoe uses the tunic to showcase her slender legs.

Zoe accessorized her mini with Barbara Bui snake-skin heels, a gold cuff and a black clutch.

A chic updo and smoky eyes completed her look.

Beyoncé showed off her baby bump during a rendition of “Love on Top,” a cut off her latest album 4. The mom-to-be flaunted her pregnant belly at the end of the performance, showing no signs of wear as she ripped through the ’80s throwback in a glittery purple jacket, white tuxedo shirt, and dress pants. After she climbed the octaves, B unbuttoned her shiny top and clutched her tummy while the camera cut to the proud father-in-waiting, who was cheered on by Kanye West and Lady Gaga. Watch Beyoncé and Jay-Z share the good news with the world.

eave it to Beyoncé to steal the spotlight at Sunday's Video Music Awards.

But it wasn't one of the pop diva's signature show-stopping performances that had people talking. Instead, it was Beyoncé's burgeoning baby bump, swathed in an orange gown.

Beyoncé, 29, posed for photos with her hands cradling her belly, teasing, "I have a surprise!"

Beyoncé melts the screen in the steamy video for “1+1,” the sensual ballad off her No. 1 album 4. The R&B seductress strips down in the cinematic clip, directed by herself, Laurent Briet, and Ed Burke. It marks the first of many videos which will be released to visually tell the story of 4. Fire it up!

Beyonce is looking like the mega star that she is on the cover of InStyle. For the fashion mag’s September issue the Roseland Ballroom performer is simply radiant in her sequined and star-studded dress. (Truth be told, even if Bey had worn a burlap sack she would still look just as fabulous.) Jump below for more of the pop-up shopper and for a behind the scenes look at the Jay-Z groupie’s photo shoot with photographer Michelangelo Di Battista at Long Island’s Guggenheim mansion.

If this is just a taste of what to expect from the “Lift Off” singer’s spread, September is going to be one hot issue.


In her interview, Beyonce opens about her work pace, “When you’re young—18 or 19—you have the energy and drive. That’s the time to work as hard as you can. Now I’m a woman, and because I gave it my all, I can focus on my marriage. I can decide I want to have kids. I can be the mother I want to be and dedicate myself to my children.”

And the 4 siren’s guilty pleasure? The Jersey Shore. You hear that, Pauly D?

In less time than it takes to sing the hook to “Run the World (Girls),” Beyoncé sold out the first of her four New York shows.


The pop superstar announced “4 Intimate Nights With Beyoncé,” a series of four intimate performances at New York City’s famed Roseland Ballroom. Tickets went on sale today with the first show on August 14 selling out in a lightening-fast 22 seconds.

Those who weren’t able to get tickets to the first show on Sunday can try their luck at three other dates set for August 16, 18, and 19. Tickets for the remaining nights go on sale throughout the day and are expected to all sell out.

Beyoncé will perform her new album 4 in its entirety at these special concerts.

Beyoncé kicked off her morning with some girl talk with the ladies of “The View.” Mrs. Carter sat down for an interview with Whoopi, Barbara, Joy, Sherri, and Elizabeth, and also performed two songs off her chart-topping album 4, including a stripped-down version of her latest single “Best Thing I Never Had” and the soulful “1+1” while perched atop a piano.

Beyoncé hit up 30 Rock for her first appearance on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” on Thursday night. Backed by the world famous Roots crew, the white-hot singer performed a reworked version of her single “Best Thing I Never Had,” boasting a new arrangement. A “Late Night” staffer overheard B asking ?uestlove and the band if she could bring them on tour with her. You’ll see why after watching their performance.

Beyoncé is ramping up her promo in the U.S. The music superstar has been booked to perform on two talk shows this week.


B will chat with the ladies of “The View” on Thursday and perform “Best Thing I Never Had” and “1+1” off her chart-topping album 4, which is currently No. 5 in the country.

Later that same evening, she will stop by NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” to once again sing “Best Thing I Never Had,” but this time she will be backed by house band The Roots.

The 29-year-old singer, who is nominated for three awards at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, will star in the upcoming remake of A Star Is Born directed by Clint Eastwood.

“I’m slightly a bit intimated, I have to say,” she told PrideSource of her latest film role. “I feel a bit overwhelmed, and I’m still in shock. But the studio and Clint believe in me, and I feel like I’ve been really selective and I’ve waited and worked really hard and I’ve done different types of movies—from comedies to thrillers to drama when I played Etta James—and I really wanted to make sure I was ready.

Beyonce recently revealed her new-found love for video and film. Check out her new behind-the-scenes visual, shot with a vintage style, on a warm spring afternoon in Paris, B and Parisian photographer Greg Gex shot the cover for her new album 4. In stores now, be sure to pickup that Deluxe Edition.

Beyoncé may not even be 30, but she already knows what she wants to do over the next 10 years. The singer revealed some of her future plans in a new interview with “Access Hollywood.”

“Before I hit the age of 40, I’d love to have some children,” said the private singer. “I would love to direct and continue to learn videos and maybe by then [do] a short film, a documentary. I just hope that I’m happy and into my children and well adjusted and still making music, if that makes me happy at that time.”

She also explained what it was like to relive her “I dos” in the video for “Best Thing I Never Had.” “It was a little strange and definitely when I walked down the aisle, I’m like, ‘This is kind of creepy. There’s some other man standing here,’” she laughed, while adding, “It was really beautiful and people were all really excited like it was my wedding. My mother was even like, ‘Aww.’ I’m like, ‘Mom, it’s a video. This is not the real wedding.’”

B said her on-screen marriage was more stressful than her actual wedding to Jay-Z. “This may have been a little more crazy. I had to sing at the same time.”

Space diva Beyonce is Complex magazine's cover girl for their August/September issue, and in the singer's bold photo shoot, the chart-topping singer wows us yet again with her flawless bod and mane of wild hair. (Seriously, that coif has a life of its own.) Head below to hear the "Best Thing I Never Had" performer fawn over her boys Kanye and Jay, and stay for a gallery of gorgeous pics.

Target shoppers were in for a surprise when Beyoncé’s fans swarmed the store for a flash mob. Led by former “American Idol” contestant Todrick Hall, the dancers put down their red shopping baskets and started performing moves to the singer’s “End of Time” as patrons snapped pics on their cell phones. The dance crew, dressed in red, black, and white, grew in size as the performance carried on in the aisle of the retail store. A deluxe version of Beyoncé’s album 4 is available exclusively at Target.

“Good morning Atlantis. This Beyonce.” That’s how Mrs. Carter greeted astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis today in a pre-recorded message, after a snippet of “Run The World (Girls)” introduced her. The pop superstar with the #1 album in America provided the message as a treat for NASA on the Day 9 of the shuttle’s final mission. (Remember, B was born and bred in Houston, home to NASA’s main flight HQ. And she had a special shout-out for one of the spacecraft’s four travelers. Find out which one below.

“Sandy, Chris, Doug, and Rex, you inspire all of us to dare to live our dreams — to know that we’re smart enough and strong enough to achieve this. This song is especially for my girl Sandy and all the women who’ve taken us to space with them, and the girls who are our future explorers,” Beyonce said in the message.

Beyonce may be #1 with ‘4′, but now the ‘Diva’ singer has 3 albums on the Billboard 200 simultaneously. For what comes as an astonishing feat, 2008’s ‘I Am Sasha Fierce’ and 2003’s ‘Dangerously In Love’ have both re-entered the charts this week at #90 and #168 respectively.

For those still asking ‘who run the world?’, you may have just gotten your answer.

We never imagined Beyonce’s tell-off 4 single “Best Thing I Never Had” to be a romantic wedding song, but that’s how Bey decided to interpret it for her video. The clip begins not unlike a Victoria’s Secret commercial, with the chart-topping diva sauntering around her bridal suite in revealing white lingerie. Soon this hardly-blushing bride is decked out in her absolutely gorgeous wedding gown (eat your heart out Kate Middleton), and after getting all badass on her coulda-been flame in the sweet serenity of nature, we see Bey walk down the aisle and marry someone who is — gasp! — not Jay-Z. Vid below.


Though Bey’s real life hubby doesn’t make a cameo as her groom in this video, we’re sure Hova gave this dude the side-eye upon seeing his obvious stand-in take off his wife’s garter with his teeth.

You’ve seen French dance duo Les Twins (aka Laurent and Larry Bourgeois) bust their hip hop moves alongside Beyonce at Glastonbury on Sunday and on their home country’s version of The X Factor earlier this week. Now catch them below, doing synchronized splits, jumps and all-out b’boy (or Bey boy?) battle in the desert sand in the newly-surfaced alternate video for lead 4 single “Run The World (Girls).” Go ahead — you can use a bit more fierceness today, anyway.

Beyonce continues to show us why she runs this mother!

Bey really shares the same type of marathon woman schedule (and ethic) as her ‘Telephone’ cohort Lady Gaga. While the Queen Bee’s fourth solo album ’4′ landed in the US on June 28 (and the 27th in Europe), she was busy as a Bee in London, performing at an album release party at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

Sasha Fierce, the singer’s onstage alter ego, came out in full effect, complete with big, bouncy, natural curls and a body-hugging, sunny yellow flapper fringe dress. Beyonce bulldozed everything in her path, shaking it while having a grand old time on stage; she was loving performing her songs as much as they fans loved witnessing and absorbing them.

Beyonce’s live ferocity was tiger-like. Seriously. She had the eye of the tiger, as she danced and sang with the type of energy normally reserved for teenagers, making eye contact with the crowd. With her corkscrew curls blowing in the wind, Beyonce was a diva to be reckoned with.

Fresh off her headline gig at Glastonbury, which was fed via satellite to the 2011 BET Awards, Beyonce didn’t take a pause and why should she? She’s got an album to promote. She treated fans to new singles like ‘Run the World (Girls),’ ‘Best Thing I Never Had’ (which has our vote for Kiss Off of the year), ’1+1′ and ‘End of Time.’

Of course she couldn’t get away with not performing ‘Single Ladies,’ which caused a surge of estrogen to shoot like lightning out of our computer monitors. We all know Beyonce can do many things, but she certainly knows how to incite girl power like no other.

Beyoncé served up a double dose of entertainment on France’s “X Factor” finale. The pop powerhouse tore the roof down with a red-hot version of “Run the World (Girls),” returning later in the show with her new single “Best Thing I Never Had.”
