Beyoncé's Dad Implies Beyoncé Planted the Divorce Rumors Herself

Beyoncé's dad Mathew Knowles – one "T" only, and don't you forget it – appeared on a Houston radio show earlier this week, ostensibly to discuss his college course, but really to talk about his famous daughters. According to him, all this divorce talk is just a "Jedi mind trick," presumably orchestrated by Beyoncé to drum up interest in the On the Run tour. "There's a tour going on, so you have to sometimes ignite that tour," Mathew explained. "Everybody's talking about it. Ticket sales went up. Solange's album sales went up 200 percent." When asked specifically if he thought that Bey and Jay wanted the infamous elevator video to leak, Mathew replied, "All I know is the Jedi mind trick." These aren't the divorce rumors you're looking for. Bey and Jay can go about their business.

After sharing that strange little nugget of information, Mathew dropped a totally insane bombshell about Destiny's Child. Proceed knowing that this information came from a man who occasionally speaks about himself in the third person and pronounces "homage" like "home-age," so it's worth reading with a grain of salt. OK, here you go: Destiny's Child is planning another record and a reunion tour. "There might be another Destiny's Child album coming," Mathew said coyly. "There might be this tour that makes history." The DJs then asked him to cough twice if this is really going to happen, and he coughed twice, so he's either speaking the truth or dealing with symptoms from a late-summer cold. Perhaps his repeated references to the Jedi mind trick were just more hints about these alleged reunion shows, and the girls are going to dress up as the Cantina Band for the duration of the tour. Beyoncé is Figrin D'an, obviously.

Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj Cemented Their BFF Status With Diamonds

Nicki Minaj may have had to literally hold her dress closed during the VMAs, but something else happened on Sunday that presumably negated any strife caused by her malfunctioning outfit. Apparently, Beyoncé, humble queen of our nation, visited Nicki in her dressing room and presented her with a diamond necklace that spells out the word "FLAWLESS." Are you dead yet?

The pair collaborated earlier this month on the "Flawless" remix, which Beyoncé briefly touched upon in her 16-minute VMAs medley (she sang the elevator line, naturally). "If Beyoncé didn't walk into your dressing room and give you a diamond 'FLAWLESS' necklace, then there's no way you could be having a better week than me," Nicki wrote on Instagram. "Thank u QUEEN. Ur just a precious gem. I could never thank you enough for your influence on powerful women all around the world." Then she hashtagged it #WeFlawless, and everyone on the planet imploded from a mixture of jealousy and happiness.

21 Pieces of Beyoncé Gossip You Can Only Learn Backstage

1. Bey's eight female and two male back up dancers all do their own hair and makeup — next to Blue Ivy. They're allowed to experiment with their looks and don't have to get them approved. "Although, Beyoncé will tell us if she liked our hair better in one show, so we'll do it that way the next time," one told me. They also revealed that Blue Ivy does makeup with them. "She'll come into our dressing room and do makeup with us," the dancer said. To keep their makeup from running while they dance and sweat, the dancers use setting sprays from companies like Mac and NYX Cosmetics, "That way we don't have to touch up too much during the show."

2. Speaking of dancing, Blue Ivy can already dance. "She is really advanced for not even being 2," her dancer said. "She even knows how to twerk!" 

3. Beyoncé "watches the show on film every night." One dancer explained, "There was this one night in South America — it was an open stage and it was raining and a few of us slipped. She watched in on repeat, laughing hysterically. She didn't yell at us or anything though — the whole stage was a puddle."

4. Beyoncé has two stylists that assit her with costume changes her throughout her performances. The dancers have to share an additional two dressers. 

5. Beyoncé's tailors alter outfits after they receive them from the designers. One tailor told me, "They come in as couture and we have to make them into more of a costume, since hidden zippers and buttons don't really fly when it comes to quick changes." She wears Dsquared2 as her opening outfit, Givenchy, David Komo, and a bunch of other designers during her show. 

6. To keep the crazy costumes from moving around on both Beyoncé and the dancers, the tailors — who previously worked on Madonna's tour — use TopStick tape (a toupee tape) to keep the outfits in place and prevent nip (or worse) slips. Her back-up dancers have seven outfit changes and Beyoncé herself has seven or eight depending on the set that night.

7. The dancers have like 1000 choreographers. OK not that many, but one dancer said the "Run The World" routine had 20 choreographers.

8. Dance routines can change hours before a show. Dancers said they rehearse "until it's perfect," but, "Beyoncé always is wanting to be better and more innovative" so routines constantly change, sometimes just hours before a show. Some things like stage size — which affects how many dancers can do each routine — have to be sorted out last-minute.

 

 9. Beyoncé sometimes adds impromptu moves to the choreography — and her back up dancers just have to go with it. "We just have to stay on our toes," one told me. "We just make sure we're always watching her and each other."

10. When it comes to hair removal, "We have to deal with the local spas wherever we are," one dancer said. (Their leotards aren't exactly conservative.)

11. Each shoe is repainted after every performance to make sure it looks new for each concert. B and her dancers wear Stuart Weitzman lace-up booties during the show — among other designer shoes, like Christian Louboutin, that Beyoncé breaks it down in.

12. The dancers — who all have flawless figures — don't work out. "We get a lot of our activity onstage, so we're already pretty active."

13. The dancers had no idea Beyoncé was about to drop her latest the album. One said, "We were filming music videos with her and we knew she had new songs in the works, but we didn't know it was going to be dropped like that — we learned about everything on Instagram just like everyone else did!"

14. Dancers have to audition many times before landing a spot. The audition process was different for every dancer, but one girl told me she had three auditions, then tried out in person in New York, and then she was hired for the Superbowl, and has been dancing with her ever since.

15. The dancers felt intimidated by Beyoncé when they first met. "It's Beyoncé," one said. "She is someone we look up to and want to model our lives after."

The dancers wrapping presents backstage for kids at the Bronx Neighborhood Shelter.

16. Beyoncé's three backup singers, who Bey calls "the Mamas," have been singing with her for ten, eight, and seven years respectively. They say "she keeps going, and going, and going," and (like all of us) wonder if Beyoncé runs on batteries.

17. The Mamas spend an hour and a half getting ready for each show and do their own makeup and hair. "People assume that there is a makeup artist or hairstylist for every show, but we do all of our makeup and hair ourselves," one said. "We had a pro come in and give us tutorials on how to do both."

18. A member of Beyoncé's all-female band won her spot after a BATTLE in the Sony studio. Beyoncé's private American Idol.

19. Her dancers spray new fragrance Beyoncé Rise (coming out in February 2014) — a blend of orchid, freesia blossom, jasmine, musk — in their dressing room every time they enter it.

20. The dancers relieve stress by "drinking a lot of wine." 

21. The entire team loves their fabulous Beyoncé-filled lives. When asked what it's like to live life behind Queen B, the dancers said, "Amazing! No complaints." They added, "The real Beyoncé is really humble and down to earth — a real country girl. She's sweet"

There, now you're beyond educated on all things Beyoncé.

Couple Trapped on Ferris Wheel During Beyoncé Music Video Shoot

Beyoncé was indirectly the cause of a couple being stuck on a Ferris wheel in New York, it has been reported.

The singer was shooting her new music video at Coney Island's amusement park when she decided to film part of it on the Wonder Wheel.

Along with photographer Terry Richardson, Beyoncé spent 30 minutes on the stationary ride while applying make-up.

However, unbeknownst to the star or theme park staff, a couple were reportedly still on the ride high above, reports Splash News.

The couple were visibly shaken after finally being let off the ride, while the woman was seen in tears.

As soon as they were let out of their pod, the couple proceeded to quickly leave the park.

Beyoncé was said to be unaware of the incident, and soon tried out several rides, including Cyclone, the wooden rollercoaster, the Spook-a-Rama ghost train and the Eldorado bumper cars.

The 'Love on Top' star is currently working on her fifth studio album, but is yet to formally announce a release schedule for the record.

Beyoncé Ditches Pixie Cut For Blonde Bob

Having a hard time keeping up with Beyoncé's ever-evolving style? Yeah, same here.

The cut heard round the world (as it's known in certain circles, such as "my apartment") is only a week fresh, but King Bey has already switched up her game with an entirely new look: The superstar was spotted in Miami shooting a mysterious video of some sort (hmm...) and also eating at a restaurant with Jay Z because yes, even the '03 Bonnie & Clyde have to eat sometime.

There, it was revealed that she's not rocking a pixie at all — she's got a chic blonde graduated bob! (She doesn't look happy about the photographers, either.)

Some theories about Beyoncé's hair:
1. It grows at a superhuman rate, because she is a superhuman.
2. It's extensions or a wig.

You be the judge.

Beyoncé meets Boston bombing victims on tour - picture

Beyoncé has met with three people who were injured in the Boston Marathon bombings.

The 'Halo' singer posed with Mery Daniel, Adrianne Haslet and Heather Abbott backstage at her 'Mrs Carter Show' concert in the city's TD Garden yesterday (July 23).

Each of the three women lost a leg in the bombings on April 15, which claimed the lives of three people and injured 264. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlan, who was killed in a police shootout, are suspected of conducting the attack.

Arts and culture magazine Rolling Stone recently caused controversy by featuring an image of Dzhokhar on its front cover along with the strapline: "How a popular, promising student was failed by his family, fell into radical Islam and became a monster."
.
The publication defended its decision, saying: "The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is young, and in the same age group as many of our readers, makes it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens."

Beyonce performs on her

Last week, Beyoncé held a moment of silence for Trayvon Martin during a gig in Nashville after neighbourhood watch coordinator George Zimmerman was acquitted of his murder.

She later attended a rally for Martin with her husband Jay Z in New York, where they were photographed with the 17-year-old's mother Sybrina Fulton and civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton.

The couple have publicly shown their support for the 'Justice for Trayvon Martin' campaign.

Report: Beyoncé Is Definitely Pregnant

When we heard E! was reporting that Beyoncé is pregnant again, we were all like...

We mean, she and Jay-Z are just so...

And Blue Ivy is all like...

You GUYS—remember when this happened?

Anywho, Beyoncé is back on the Mrs. Carter tour again after canceling a performance in Belgium due to "dehydration and exhaustion." Maybe this helped?

You just keep doing what you do, Bey.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we just need a minute.

Squee!

Which Beyoncé Hair Color Wins in Her New H&M Video?

Meet the Beauty Bloggers

Carly Cardellino: I'm the beauty and fashion editor here at Cosmopolitan.com. I'll try just about anything once (I have the crop cut—my hair used to be super-long—and body wave to prove it) and then report back. I'm obsessed with hair products, like volumizers and salt sprays, as well as mascara, nail polish, a good foundation (right now I'm using Tom Ford Beauty Traceless Foundation SPF 15), and blush (it literally changes the way you look in seconds)—hopefully you can see why I'm in this business. I also love picking out head-to-toe outfits for friends whether they're going on a date with their guy or a black-tie wedding—so feel free to click on that "contact" link below and send me a question.

Leah Wyar: Ladies, I’m the DIY beauty guru. My specialties? Spray-tanning and mastering the at-home manicure. I’ve tried dozens of spray-tanning formulas and have mastered the art of the self-tan (don’t worry, I’ll share!). Plus, I paint on the hottest nail trends every week (currently I’m obsessed with the glitter and dark polish trend). Follow me as I branch out and perfect my DIY skills (up next: waxing!).

Marta Topran: I’m obsessed with making my skin as glowy as possible. That means trying out every anti-aging potion out there and never leaving the house without some sort of shimmery highlighter on my cheekbones. I’m also the resident brow and lash addict. Right now, I’m rocking super long lash extensions that I can’t believe I ever lived without.
