Brand new resort + Memorial Day Weekend + summer kickoff party + new live show = Beyoncé getting back to business live on stage at Revel. Three exclusive shows with the unstoppable star at the brand new beachfront resort.

Word also has it her husband Jay-Z is in the midst of tweaking a tour deal for her with Live Nation.  The NY Post reports (without confirmation from either Live Nation or The Carters):

Jay-Z is already working on a blockbuster comeback world tour for Beyoncé after the birth of their daughter, Blue Ivy. Sources tell us Jay has approached Live Nation about a $150million deal for Beyoncé to tour following the birth of their child in January. Beyoncé has a joint management deal with Jay’s Roc Nation and Live Nation. A source told us, “Just weeks after the birth of Blue Ivy, Jay met with Live Nation to discuss a tour for Beyoncé. He wanted a deal worth about $150million, but they countered with a lower offer.” Beyoncé had earlier hinted that she may tour again this year.
 

Get ready...

PICS: "Real Housewives Of Atlanta" Stars Phaedra & Apollo Host Baby Ayden's 1st Birthday Bash

Posted: 19 Mar 2012 08:50 AM PDT

Last night's episode of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" was all about Baby Ayden's 1st waterpark birthday party.    Now check out the pics you didn't see from the episode inside...

Looks like the smalls and the talls have kissed and made up.  Kinda.  Marlo Hampton, Cynthia Bailey & Sheree Whitfield came out for Ayden's big day.  Phaedra Parks & hubby Apollo had their baby Ayden's 1st birthday party at a waterpark in Gainesvile, so she bussed everybody 2 hours to the park for the occasion.  Former "Housewife" Dwight was also there.  Why Dwight is in a full out suit at a waterpark is beyond me though.

Is that you Cadillac Kim?  Oh....

Time for fun:

Awww.

Ayden rocked his Burberry swimsuit and matching bucket hat for his big day:

And made a wardrobe change as his mama gave him 12 birthday cakes--one for each month of the year.  Sigh.

Looks like all was good in the waterpark after Sheree & Marlo's big blowout fight in South Africa.

Cynthia's sis Malorie was there.  Looks like she and Cynthia my have just had another argument. 

 

And fun pics from the OMG booth:

Cynthia's daughter Noel was there.

Kandi's daughter Riley (left) was there for some fun.

Phaedra's mom and fam were there of course.

Family fun.

And Apollo's mom was there for her grandson.  Cute pics!

 

Here's video of Ayden's cake presentation:
