Beyonce Knowles Gossip
Beyonce Knowles gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Dear Gossips,
Today is a holy day. It’s B’Day, the 38th anniversary of the birth of Beyoncé and also the 13th anniversary of the release of the album that gave us “Déjà Vu”, “Get Me Bodied”, “Ring the Alarm”, “Irreplaceable”, “Kitty Kat”, “Upgrade U”… OK fine, you can look up the track list yourself (but why don’t you have it memorised?).

Dear Gossips,
It’s the last weekend of the summer. I mean, not according to science but generally accepted in society – next week most people will have gone back to school and work after a lighter schedule the last couple of months; and the schedule goes balls out in entertainment too as the Venice Film Festival is already underway, Telluride kicks off today, and TIFF and NY Fashion Week begin next Thursday.

Dear Gossips,
A couple of weeks ago, when Disney released the cast photo for The Lion King – you know, the one featuring all the other actors and Beyoncé in the centre, where she should be? – a handful of people in my inbox and my mentions tried it; they tried arguing that Beyoncé was present for the group shoot, that she wasn’t photoshopped into the shot.

It has been a bounty the last two weeks, hasn’t it? Beyoncé’s Lion King takeover has resulted in a bountiful yield full of announcements, red carpet appearances, and music and video drops. Last night, after Cats and Top Gun had their moment on social media, it was Beyoncé who came in and dominated the conversation with the release of The Lion King: The Gift, the companion album she curated and produced, highlighting the talents of African artists and creatives.

Jon Favreau’s remake of The Lion King, using photo-realistic computer animation techniques, is stunning. It is stunning to look at. The Serengeti looks real, as detailed and gorgeous as the best nature documentary. The animals are stunning, as tangible as any creature in a National Geographic photograph. Full Story

Guess what was trending worldwide on Twitter last night? What else would it be? WHO else would it be? Beyoncé released the video for “Spirit” and as I said yesterday, ahead of The Lion King opening on Friday, it’s a Beyoncé takeover. She’s coming for everything: Emmys, Oscars, Grammys, all of it.

Beyoncé: the takeover

Did you feel it this morning? The expression is a “disturbance” in the Force, but nothing about what I felt is “disturbing”. I thought about calling it a “movement” in the Force but that’s how I sometimes refer to my sh-ts, and it would be blasphemy to connect my sh-t and the Queen in any way so… can we say “spark”? Whatever. Full Story

It was the moment we were waiting for: when House Sussex met the Queen, the only Queen I answer to: Her Majesty Beyoncé Giselle Knowles Carter. Beyoncé issued a decree back in February when she and Jay-Z posted about Meghan on Instagram to accept their BRIT Award: Meghan Markle is now under the protection of the Beygency. Full Story

Seth Rogen was on Jimmy Kimmel the other night to promote The Lion King. Sarah went to an advance screening yesterday and I haven’t heard from her since. I wonder if she’s keeping me in suspense or if it was just not worth reacting to. Sarah is not as excited about the shot-for-shot live action remakes as others. Full Story
