Beyonce FaceTimes From A Fan's Phone DURING Concert + The BeyHive Circulates Petition For Beyonce NOT To Attend Kanye & Kim's Wedding Posted: 07 Nov 2013 08:13 AM PST Leave it to Beyonce to call out a fan having a FaceTime session....in the middle of her concert...and she actually participates herself.  Check out the cuteness inside, plus the new petition that's calling for Beyonce & Jay-Z to skip out on Kanye & Kim's impending wedding... While Beyonce was belting out "Irreplaceable" in the middle of her tour stop in Adelaide, Australia recently, she spotted one of her fans holding up their iPhone and having a FaceTime session with a friend.  Of course, the friend was on the other end watching the concert, so Beyonce decided to give the person a quick Hello. She stopped in the middle of the sing and said, "This is a first."  She grabed the phone from the make fan and revealed it to the audience after she said, "Hi...Nice to meet you!" to the person on the phone.  And of course, didn't miss a beat while continuing the song. Gotta love her.  And by the way, the chick she "photobombed" in the middle of her concert last month, turned out not to be an actual photobomb afterall.  The girl in the video/pic said: Okay so as most of the people that have recently followed me i have been the girl that got her selfie ”photobombed” by Beyonce when in fact i asked her for the photo so she posed and smiled as the perfect person she is! just thought i’d clear the air haha  And speaking of Queen Bey, her BeyHive is calling for her and her husband Jay-Z to skip out on their little brother Kanye West's impending wedding with Kim K. A petition started circulating this week titled "BEYONCE CANNOT ATTEND KIM KARDASHIAN'S WEDDING" hilariously says: As you all know by now Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have sadly been in the news for their 'engagement.' Kim Kardashian and her disgusting family are known for their rise to fame for doing absolutely nothing... Now we must do all in our power to stop Beyonce from attending that god forsaken [sic] wedding, since her husband Jay Z is BFFs with Kanye he probably wants both of them to go... Beyonce do not go to that wedding you dont [sic] have to do it to please that wh-re and her jackass fiance. Do us a favor Bey and rain check that train wreck [sic] of wedding. Extend The Mrs Carter Show World Tour for as long as possible - Be on tour for their wedding. Tell them your [sic] busy and business always comes first. You have something better to do - Your [sic] Beyonce you always have something better to do than to attend a Kim Kardashian wedding. Simply say no - Tell the b-tch no. Simple as that.  Lawd...   Photographs by Robin Harper

CO-SIGN: US Airways Passenger BACKS UP Brandon T. Jacksons Claim That He Was SOBER When He Was Allegedly Mistreated On Flight! Posted: 07 Nov 2013 07:17 AM PST A fellow US Airways passenger has stepped up to back Brandon T. Jackson's claim that he was sober during his encounter with a flight attendant.   Get the deets inside....  We discussed previously about Brandon T. Jackson's situation with US Airways a few days ago when he was questioned by Phoenix police after his flight.  And Brandon says a flight attendant hurled racist remarks his way.  He was prevented from continuing his travels that day.  And now, Brandon's fellow passengers have stepped to defend him. While US Airways stands by their accusation that Brandon was drunk during his flight from NYC to Phoenix, Darrell Howard, who was seated next to Brandon, insists that that actor was sober and only had two Jack and gingers during the 5-and-a-half hour flight. Darrell told TMZ that Brandon pulled out a script a rehearsed a few lines with other passengers and even told the flight attendant that he was "rehearsing lines". Darrell added that he was SHOCKED to see the flight attendant snap at Brandon. Another passenger, Elisabeth Schwarz, told CNN, "He wasn't being rowdy at all, and definitely not intoxicated. There was another exit row in front of us that was standing, drinking and making noise. We were all in shock when the attendant insinuated other passengers were complaining. The other flight attendant even told us we weren't doing anything wrong." Brandon thanked his supporters by tweeting,    We'll see how this plays out.....   Photos via Brandon T. Jackson IG

Diddy Shimmies To Nashville For CMA's + Michelle Williams' "If We Had Your Eyes" REMIX Ft. Fantasia + Tamar Braxton's "She Can Have You" Christmas Song Posted: 07 Nov 2013 06:40 AM PST Diddy made a surprise appearance last night at the Country Music Awards in Nashville.  Check out his pony-hair show shimmy inside, plus Tamar Braxton's new Christmas song "She Can Have You" and a new remix from Michelle Williams..... Mr. Combs made a confession last night on the stage with Kellie Pickler at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena during the live Awards show.  He said he was 'coming out' as a fan, 'I love me some country music, baby'. Hey, we loves some Carrie Underwood too.  Not gonna lie.  Diddy also showed off his pony hair shoes...in the rain: Of course.   Former D-Child member Michelle Williams just release a new remix for her single "If We Had Your Eyes."  And she brought Fantasia in on this version of the track. “If We Had Your Eyes” is the first single from her inspirational album, Journey to Freedom, which is now due out via eOne Entertainment February 11, 2014.   Before hitting the "Tom Joyner Morning Show" this AM to promote the Made For Love tour, Tamar Braxton dropped her new Christmas song off her upcoming Winter Loverland album.  It's called "She Can Have You" and it's not your typical merry Holiday song.  Tamar's letting her man know that if he wants to step out with that other chick during the Holidays....he can stay there. Peep the track below: This song is an original R&B track on the Christmas album, but the rest of the project is comprised of Tamar's covers of classic Christmas songs.  The album is in stores next week.     By the way, "She" shot a new video this wee with a model named Alvester.  No word on which song it's for, but check out a pic (above) from the set.

SPOTTED: Rihanna & Her BANGIN' BIKINI BOD Get Wet & Bronzed On The Beach In Barbados Posted: 06 Nov 2013 04:50 PM PST Well damn!  Rihanna and her tight and toned bikini body know exactly what to do to bring all attention to Barbados.  Check out her latest chill session on the beach that she made look like--as usual--a photoshoot....   While relaxing on some down time from her Diamonds world tour, MAC's Viva Glam campaign spokeswoman Rihanna hit the beach today looking extra bronzy in a sexy string bikini.  And since she's selling her new L.A. home and JUST copped a luxe apartment in NYC, why not chill on the beach till all that's settled? The Bajan pop princess had her little brother, her crew and a slew of onlookers tagging along as they hit the beach for some beer, sand, and fun in the sun:   If you ever wondered what it's like for this chick to have a beach day... She brought a few of her own photogs along, of course, for a shoot we're sure we'll see on her Instagram account soon. And she and her girls (not pictured) had some fun on the jetskis too. Must be nice...   Photos: INF/Splash

AIR CANADA CENTRE# 12 23 13 TORONTO, ONT. AIR CANADA CENTRE# You going?   In other rapper statements..... DMX was forced to cancel an appearance on the Wendy Williams Show this week after an arrest in South Carolina.  We figured as much.  He explained the cancellation in a statement saying, "Due to recent media scrutiny, DMX will not be appearing on The Wendy Williams Show this week. The team apologizes to his fans who were anticipating his performance but we are holding off on interviews and focusing on making music and organizing a world tour." We hope he realizes he'll need to clear up all those child-support issues before he can get a passport for this WORLD tour.  We'll keep you posted about that one.....   Photo via EOnline/DMX's Instagram

Did Kanye Give Kim The Same Engagement Ring He Gave Ex-Fiancee' Alexis? Posted: 06 Nov 2013 12:15 PM PST The rumor mill has been buzzing with a comparison of the engagement ring Kanye West gave to Alexis Phifer in 2006 with the one he gave to Kim Kardashian in 2013.  See what the fuss is about inside....   A new article posted by GLAMOUR.com is raising eyebrows for comparing how Kanye West's engagement ring to Kim Kardashian stacks up to the ring he gave Alexis Phifer in 2006. It's worthy mentioning that both rings were designed by  Lorraine Schwartz. We'll assume that the "similarity" is purely coincidental, although Kanye "could have" re-gifted the ring to Kim.  Perhaps it was remixed? Interesting tidbit, Lorraine also designed the ring Kris Humphries gave Kim!       Photos via Glamour

PARTY FAB: Rita Ora, Jourdan Dunn, Idris Elba & Naomie Harris At Harper's Bazaar Women Of The Year Awards Posted: 06 Nov 2013 10:05 AM PST Our British YBFers were out in full force for the Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year awards in London.  See Idris, Naomie, Jourdan, and Rita inside..... Last night, the Harper's Bazaar Women Of The Year Awards were held at Claridge's Hotel in London. "R.I.P." singer Rita Ora arrived in a long sleeved Ermanno Scervino gown from the Fall 2013 collection.   At some point, Rita, being the fashion lover that she is, changed outfits and posed with model/chef Jourdan Dunn.   Skyfall actress Naomie Harris, who's also signed on for a role in the next James Bond film, Bond 24, was among the celebs spotted at the party. Naomie twirl into the event in a look from Gucci's Spring 2014 collection.   Idris Elba, who's starring in "Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom" (along with Naomie Harris), wore a smart looking blue trench coat.   Sudan-born supermodel Alek Wek also attended the event. Alek recently walked in the 5th Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Pretoria, South Africa and received a standing ovation once she hit the catwalk. Congrats to the fab chick!       Photos via WeirPhotos / Splash News / PCN and INF
