Music Beyoncé & Jay-Z: the Oscar party and a new tour? Maria wrote in the previous post about Beyoncé’s recent avocado Instagrams and why they felt so … not Beyoncé, what with the exclamation points and the use of actual words. Over the years, I have given Beyoncé my money. A lot of money. I’ve bought albums, concert tickets, tour By Lainey • Mar 06, 2018 11:58 am

She could drop something new before By Lainey • Feb 13, 2018 12:36 pm
Top Reads Beyoncé still knows Last year, like her husband this year, Beyoncé went into the Grammys as the most-nominated artist on the strength of Lemonade, widely considered to be a masterpiece.

Baby and Bump Obsession Blue Ivy Carter for President It happened again this year. Lainey and I went back and forth on whether Blue Ivy deserved her own post. We had the same conversation last year. Last year, James Corden had Blue to thank for saving his job and, quite frankly, his career when she swooped in and saved By Kathleen • Jan 29, 2018 11:16 am
Music “Jay for President!” That’s how Kendrick Lamar ended his acceptance speech for Best Rap Album and now, every outlet is seriously running headlines that say “Kendrick Lamar Endorses Jay-Z for President.” “___ for president!” is a slang term of endearment people have been saying for years. It’s only now that an unqualified By Kathleen • Jan 29, 2018 10:54 am
Music Cock-jacking Justin Timberlake Justin Timberlake released a video today for his song Filthy. It’s the one where he seems to be mansplaining to an audience full of Asians how to do robotics.

Beyoncé Beyoncé’s Christmas haircut Beyoncé’s twin pregnancy announcement on February 1 was the most liked Instagram post of the year – and of all time so far. Records are made to be broken.

Style Young Hova turns 48 Jay-Z hasn’t called himself Young Hov in a while. It’s been so long, the other day I was asked what Hov meant and I blanked. Jay gave himself a nickname that forever tied him to his youth (and divinity) but I think he’s retired it. Feel free By Kathleen • Dec 05, 2017 04:22 pm
Relationship Assumption Jay-Z’s therapy session Jay-Z’s interview with Pulitzer award winning journalist Dean Baquet for T Magazine should be digested in full.

Music Jay-Z cancels Jay-Z is a perfectionist. If you've heard 4:44, you know this to be true. Every lyric, every vocal, every snare and every freaking breath is precise. According to Jay, his perfectionism is the cause of his decision to cancel multiple shows during his current 4:44 tour. By Kathleen • Nov 27, 2017 11:09 am
Baby and Bump Obsession The Carters on vacation On Sunday, we were #blessed with a sighting of the Holy Twins.
