Beyonce is pregnant!

R&B diva Beyonce is pregnant with her first child!



After performing on the VMAs (28th August, Sunday), RnB singer Beyonce announced her pregnacy to the whole world.
Beyonce Knowles is married to hip-hop star Jay-Z. That will be their first baby.


After performing at the 2011 VMAs, Beyonce Knowles unbuttoned her sparkly jacket and rubbed her belly - announcing her pregnancy to the world. The camera then cut to Jay-Z and Kanye West in the audience and their over-the-top jubilant reaction.


Married to Jay for three years, the star has said time and time again that she planned on having a baby by the time she was 30; well, B turns 30 early next month.

The power couple tied the knot back in 2008 in a private ceremony at Jay-Z's New York apartment, and since then, there have been years of pregnancy rumors that they've shot down.


In June, the singer told CNN interviewer Piers Morgan that she wanted to get pregnant.


"I feel like a woman. I feel like I'm very aware of who I am. I feel great and I feel like 30 is the ideal age [to start a family], because you're mature enough to know who you are and to have your boundaries and your standards, and not be afraid, too polite - but you're young enough to be a young woman" she said. "I'm so looking forward to it".


The R&B diva added, "I always said I'd have a baby at 30. But I also said I'm going to retire at 30. ... Only God knows".


In that same interview, Beyonce talked about her husband.


"Jay and I have kind of made a decision that we want to be known for our music and not our relationships or scandals. But he is amazing" she said. "I definitely had a very natural friendship and connection with him. We've been together for a very long time and I'm very happy. Love is the foundation of everything, everything I do. My music is inspired by love - from my family, my husband, my sister".


Confirming the happy news was MTV with a tweet that read, "OMG Beyonce just made a huge announcement on the #vma carpet! #baby!!!!!"

Aaliyah Remembering - Ten Years Since She's Gone


Aaliyah


It's been ten years since a very talented and beautiful young lady has left us.

Ten years have been gone since the R&B singer, actress, model and dancer Aaliyah died in plane crash.


A decade after Aaliyah Dana Haughton's death her family, friends and fans still remeber, honor and respect the great person she was.


The princess of R&B was just 22 years old at the time of her death.
In August 2001 she was in the Bahamas, shooting the video for her song "Rock the boat". On her way back to the USA Aaliyah has been killed in a plane crash.


Watch "Rock the boat" video:



Aaliyah Dana Haughton was a successful singer and actress with a thriving career. In 2001, she'd just released her third, self-titled album and was preparing for a role in "The Matrix" sequels when everything came to a screeching halt.


After shooting a music video in the Bahamas for her single "Rock the Boat" Aaliyah got on a plane and tragedy struck. According to RollingStone, "...she boarded a ten-seat twin-engine Cessna 402B bound for Opa-Locka, Florida, with the pilot, Luis Morales III, and seven members of her crew." Less than a minute after take off, the plane crashed (due to 700 pounds of excess weight) a few hundred feet from the runway and Aaliyah along with several others, died on impact. It was then that she joined the sad group of young stars gone too soon.


By 22, Aaliyah had achieved more success in her career than most singers twice her age. She made her music debut in 1994 at 15 as the protege of hitmaker R. Kelly. Her first album "Age Aint Nothin' but a Number" sold three million copies and solidified her presence as an urban artist. But it was her 1997 follow up that put her and her vocal stylings on the map.


Aaliyah teamed up with producers Missy Elliot and Timbaland to create her chart topping classic "One in a Million". The album sold over eight million copies worldwide and produced hits such as "If Your Girl Only Knew" and "Hot like Fire". She used her new fame to parlay into acting with a lead role in "Romeo Must Die" opposite martial artist Jet-Li. The film was a cult success and featured a hit soundtrack led by the single "Try Again" which Aaliyah performed.


"Queen of the Damned", Aaliyah's final film was released February 22, 2002 - six months after her death. It marked the official end of her blossoming career. Unlike most twenty-somethings that populate the industry today, Aaliyah didn't depend on sex to sell. She had hypnotic beats, catchy lyrics and great dance moves that engaged audiences.


Parrish Johnson, an executive at her former record label Blackground, revealed, "She's the first artist I worked with who would not compromise her values to be famous. In this business, church girls become prostitutes because they want to be stars, but she would never let stardom interfere with who she was."


A month before her untimely death, Aaliyah granted MTV's show "Diary" behind-the-scenes access to her fast-paced life and said, "I am truly blessed to wake up every morning to do something that I love; there is nothing better than that."


She continued, "Everything is worth it -- the hard work, the times when you're tired, the times when you are a bit sad. In the end, it's all worth it because it really makes me happy. I wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world. I've got good friends, a beautiful family and I've got a career. I thank God for his blessings every single chance I get."


So, on August 25, blast Aaliyah's timeless music loud and remember her for being a trendsetting force in fashion and for helping to redefine and take R&B music to another level.

Kelly Rowland Responds To Beyonce Comparisons

TheBoombox : As Kelly Rowland prepares for the release of her third solo album, the former Destiny's Child singer is tired of talking about one subject: Beyonce. Rowland, who has long looked at her one-time group member as a sister, is not fond of the press pitting the two against each other, and even more enraged that someone consistently gets overlooked.

"What pisses me off the most is the fact that they leave Michelle out," said Kelly Rowland. "Michelle is such a huge part of Destiny's Child. It's very disrespectful in that sense, its three members of Destiny's Child, not two."

Since going their separate ways, all three Destiny's Child members have focused on solo careers. While Beyonce is the most commercially successful, Rowland has garnered a few notable hits in her own right. Her latest, "Motivation" featuring Lil Wayne, has received solid buzz, and sits at No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

Rowland was originally rumored to be putting out a dance-themed album but as she got to work on her latest LP, "Here I Am" the Texas native was more focused on the content of the project versus the genre.

"At one point in time everybody was like, 'You should be this, you should be that.' For a second I was like 'F it all! How do I feel?' I just started recording and everything that I started recording fell in the same line and the same pocket. "Motivation" came about and I was like, 'Oh my God! I want my fans to hear this!' Then other songs started to come and I was working with Tricky and Rodney Jerkins and all these people, everything fell into place. I didn't allow anybody to categorize me at the final process of this record. Nobody puts Kelly in the corner!" said Kelly.

In adition she said "I just wanted other people to know "Here I Am," period. Nobody judging, nobody dictates where I go or what I do. It's me as a person and as a woman. It feels good to be in that space and I just wanted to share that on the record."

In the coming weeks the Grammy winner will drop her next single, which she is keeping under wraps. "Here I Am" will be released this fall.
