Following her “Tarantino-inspired” collaboration clip with Lady Gaga for “Telephone,” Beyonce is killing the game again, but this time it’s herself.
.
“Sasha Fierce is done. I killed her,” said Beyonce in her recent interview with Allure magazine.
.
At the beginning of her career, the singer created her alter ego Sasha Fierce in an effort to separate her own shy personality from her stage persona and give herself the courage to be free and sexy while performing. Beyonce even went so far as to name check the alter ego on her last album, “I Am…Sasha Fierce.” The LP was split into two physical CDs and two genres, the “I Am…” side held pop songs like “If I Were A Boy” while “Sasha Fierce” boasted urban chic like “Video Phone,” Bey’s first duet with Lady Gaga.
Now the singer says that she’s comfortable enough with herself to be all of those things without an alias.
“I don’t need Sasha Fierce anymore, because I’ve grown, and now I’m able to merge the two,” she continued.
In fact, the singer-songwriter-actress admitted that she’s beginning a career break after the conclusion of her world tour in Trinidad this month, adding she’d like “to paint and cook, and to do Broadway shows and museums. And learn just to be at home and just watch television.”
We don’t believe you Bey, you need more people. We agree, as strange as it sounds, with Perez Hilton. (more…)
Hilary Duff Gets Low, Literally (But Probably Not…)
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 | by Hillary aka Steely D
No, I don’t usually talk about Ms. Duff round these parts, but I felt like we should weigh in since I was accosted by a mis-titled photo during my afternoon Earl Grey sip session. I blame @bossip.
.
First, Hils’ boyfriend NHL boyfriend Mike Comrie proposes to her, then she clicks a few photos of the engagement ring with her phone, then she…gives her man a bj to show her gratitude? NO. She’s got her face buried in his stomach. DIFFERENT. Somehow I’m salty because I was promised something salacious and got this photo below. Am I crazy? You take a look and let me know. SMDH.
NSFW, I guess. That is all.
T.I. Buys Tiny a Porsche, Sets Album Date
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 | by Hillary aka Steely D
On this edition of Hillary is nosey aka adventures in journalism, we present T.I.’s not real, but kinda, album date. This is what happens when you ask one camp ‘what’s up with T.I.’s album?’ Then you call someone else for confirmation...can you spot the careful wording?
.
Last night, T.I. hit the town with fiancee Tameka ‘Tiny’ Cottle for his first public outing in support of her Alzheimer’s research fundraiser entitled “For The Love of Our Fathers” at Atlanta’s Opera venue.
.
“I am very well, very happy to be seen,” said T.I. who joined Cottle on stage at the end of the benefit, according to the Atlanta Constitution-Journal.
.
When Tiny left her fundraiser, TIP’s gift of a blue Porsche Panamera was parked out front. We’re doing something wrong in our lives…
.
T.I. is still serving out the remainder of his year-and-one-day sentence on a gun possession charge in an Georgia halfway house and recording tracks for his forth-coming album in a private studio.
Parlour chatted with T.I.’s manager and Grand Hustle record label partner Jason Geter to see when T.I.’s homecoming album is slated to hit shelves.
“We did a deal with the film studio Screen Gems for the movie “Takers” with T.I., both the album and the film are coming out at the end of the summer,” said Geter. “So, yeah, we have a release date.”
“Takers,” a film about a bank heist interrupted by a detective, stars Zoe Saldana, T.I., Chris Brown and Hayden Christensen among others and hits theaters on August 20th.
“As for producers, we’ve been working with DJ Toomp and Lil Cee, who’s one of our in-house Grand Hustle producers,” Geter told Parlour. “We worked with Danja, the Runners and we tried out some stuff with these new guys called the TrackSlayers. We’re actually working with alot of new guys, at this point, you don’t really chase names, it’s about the quality of the material. As for features, we did a track with The Dream and Trey Songz is on another hook.”
The Dream told Parlour that his collaboration with TIP “sounds great, he’s sounding beautiful. His spirit is really good.” (more…)
The Dream Says Baby’s Coming Sunday, Shares Name
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 | by Hillary aka Steely D
After leaking the title track from his forthcoming album “Love King,” R&B singer, The Dream chatted with Parlour about the baby on the way with new wife Christina Milian and how life must go on.
.
“The baby will be here Sunday, no later than Sunday,” said The Dream excitedly. “The baby already has a car, I got a house just for the baby, Christina can’t get in the baby’s car. I’m giving all my attention that I usually give to Christina to the baby, all the flowers I usually give Christina, I’m giving them to the baby.”
.
Hopefully the car is pink.
.
“It’s girl, Violet will be her first name,” said The Dream. “I’m not telling you the middle name, you gon’ get me in trouble.”
.
Still, despite all of the excitement a new couple experiences surrounding their first child, the Atlanta singer-songwriter says it’s business as usual at the Nash household.
.
“I’ve been working like a regular person works in America, they have jobs whether someone’s pregnant or not,” laughed The Dream.
I wrote about it over here at MTV News too…
