    Ugh. Couldn’t even finish watching that video.

    I now have a new conspiracy theory: Bey is with pillow so that people ease up on the criticism of the music (tacky porn) she is releasing.

  2. Dhavy says:

    How predictable…and boring. What’s the difference between this and her other videos?

  3. renee says:

    I don’t know what the worst part of the video is, it’s a toss up between her dancing and the “hired gun” who looks super uncomfortable in it. She needs to give it a rest.

  4. sa says:

    The lyrics to this song are just as bad, if not worse. It’s like 15yr old girl wrote them.

  5. Alejandro says:

    I still say she padded her belly for the big VMA reveal. SMH

  6. Havik says:

    Oh my word; that screen cap of Kim K is shaggin hilarious!! (I don’t like to laugh at other peoples’ misfortune, but the misfortunes of a famewhore-monster? No objections there!)

  7. NM9005 says:

    – She’s lucky that BeyBee is levelling out her shit album and damn what’s up with her obsession with fans?! At all times in tours, videos are those damn fans there. Extremely vain woman, it will be interesting how she will handle ageing. Madonna, Barkin route or Watts, Moore route?

    – Flynn has Bloom’s face.

    – Love Klum. She can do no wrong. She’s such a bright woman.

    – The gigolo thing again? Really? *shaking head* Escapism can be sexist.

    – Lovato can sing, impressed. Too funny with the hair though, whip your weave back and forth =).

  8. Quest says:

    What the hell….that was bad, so bad could not make it though the entire thing

  9. SueAnn says:

    WTF was that? Ummmm…WTF?

  10. Franny says:

    DEXTER WAS CRAZY. mind = blown

  11. Amanda G says:

    She needs to stop with those fans.

  12. Deanna says:

    B’s Coreographer needs to be fired. SHe is so beautiful and gifted. I think she is just trying to hard..It doesn’t look sexy or natural. Kind of reminds me of the babyboy video w the bad dance moves..I believe she needs a new team:) XO Much love, no disrespect! D

  13. Courtney says:

    fans are the ones obscessed not the artist fan is derived from the word fanatic

  14. Roxy750 says:

    Completely demeaning to women. As if this is what women need to do to become famous, rich, popular. Sick. So every video these days has to be of a woman trying to seduce a man and looks like she works a pole? Really?

    • shalibali says:

      Good Comment Roxy. Everything you point out is so true!

    • Anoni Mus says:

      Totally agree. Beyoncé and Shakira are the biggest examples of this. I don’t know who we’ve got to thank for this… Madonna’s “Sex” days maybe?

      • Jayna says:

        Go back and watch Madonna’s videos from her sex days. At least they held your interest and were visually interesting, not bump and grind dancing. Most of her videos had very little dancing in them except from her earliest albums. Vogue – what an iconic video. Cherish, a carefree video. Papa don’t Preach. Like A Prayer is amazing.

        Justify My Love her most provocative video and provocative about a couple’s sexual fantasies actually looking back is very fascinating and shot in black and white and no dancing.

        Erotica album had her Erotica video telling a story of S&M and no dancing but the rest of the videos from the album were Rain, a gorgeous ballad video; Deeper and Deeper, a Studio 64 type arty video; Bad Girl – a fantastic video with Christopher Walken about a woman numbing herself with dangerous behavior. Madonna made great videos back in the day.

    • Flan says:

      She’s gone from one of the assertive women of Destiny’s Child to something that shakes her ass in a standard R&B video.

      Jay-Z probably has a lot to do with that.

  15. madpoe says:

    Love this cutie Flynn!
    But had no idea he’d last name is Kerr-Bloom. Hard not to say Ka-boom!

  16. Happy21 says:

    Love, love, loved the Kim K botox tears! That was totally priceless!

    The blind item was really sad and I hope that its not at all true.

    Heidi Klum looks likes she’s about 5 feet tall in that sack she is wearing.

    Didn’t watch the Bey vid as I’m sick and tired of her videos all being the same thing and her music is the shits these days. Don’t need to put myself through crap!

  17. juicyjackie says:

    This offends my intelligence.

    Awful lyrics, terrible choreographer. Its like she said she wants to make her own version of R Kellys Bump n Grind, you know, something for the ladies to strip to why their fella watches. SHUDDER. EPIC FAIL. SHARK JUMPED.

    Did someone order some fresh talent with a side order of not being a has-been skank? Yes the whole planet.

    And seriously – stockings and granny pants yes but ditch the dress or ditch the stockings, you just look like you are an extra from Sex and the City doing the Sunday morning walk of shame after picking up some random because you didnt want to go home alone.

  18. shalibali says:

    Why do they all these singers like Beyonce, Rhianna, have to pretend that their a stripper? This is getting really old. Now show us if you really have any talent , without spreading your legs open!

  19. Bee says:

    Is it just me or does Beyonce looked a little wonk-eyed, ala Paris Hilton in that last pic?

  20. Callumna says:

    Why doesn’t her belly match the months, ever? Is this a do it yourself PR operation?

    If she’s having twins I’d buy it, except twins don’t fold over and collapse either.

  21. Diane says:

    This mv and song itself are plain AWFUL. As a grown woman, I feel embarrassed watching it. Beyonce is getting worse and worse nowadays, Diana Ross she ain’t

  22. Sigh. says:

    I know this is completely weird, but is anyone else bothered by that BLACK bra strap that can be clearly seen against her MOCHA flesh, through the *SHEER* GOLD-DETAILED side panel on her CHOCOLATE BROWN dress? Is that a “See, it’s not a FULL fake baby bodysuit,” move or something?

    Cuz it’s Red Carpet Styling 101 to have (YOUR) flesh-colored understuffs (she’s not Alicia’s or Viola’s “flesh-color”) at your disposal at all times.

  23. Ally says:

    Wow, Beyonce’s dad must be so proud. How embarrassing. Has she no clue? Oh, well, sex sells. That must be what’s most important to her.

  24. Karolina says:

    her belly looks really strange. when you compare her to jennifer garner for example, who is also pregnant it is especially obvious that something is not right with her belly. jennifer garner looks really pregnant, you can also see the navel pop out and so on. beyonce looks just well padded.

  25. Forever says:

    This video is silly she looks like a slut… Nobody loves beyonce as much as herself. Vanity personified..

  26. Onyx XV says:

    What else is new? IMO, that’s a fair assessment of ALL Beyonce’s music and videos: awkward, uncomfortable, annoying (“Single Ladies,” anyone?) and just plain bad.

  27. JaneWonderfalls says:

    I never watch any of Beyonce videos, the last video of hers I actually watched was…Crazy in Love. I have never watched anything of hers after that.

  28. Tiffany says:

    Huvane reps Hathaway. Ahhh, shit. That explains how she basically walk away from her ex’s scandal looking like a victim.

  29. Blue says:

    Oh myyy I had tears laughing at that KK screenshot.

  30. corey says:

    Does anyone else feel like she has been coming out with a new video like every 5 seconds lately? I would rather watch 1 good video, than 10 videos like that…Someone needs to teach her…. quality over quantity,B. Oh and look another “new” video where she is not pregnant.

  31. Jackie says:

    beyonce moves like a jerky chicken. i don’t get why she is so popular. actually, she does have a pretty face, that has taken her far.

  32. Sumodo1 says:

    Beyonce’s stale stripper-esque moves are wooden and all wrong for right now. Right now, she’s in childbearing mode. Beyonce’s timing is really bad with this video.

  33. Meanchick says:

    Oh good, more of the same. So predictable with her booty-popping, fans, ridiculous costumes, hair-flinging, stripper moves and bad lyrics. She is a one trick pony. Wait until after the “baby.” It will be interesting to see what she does to prove she’s still sexy and all that nonsense.

  34. Flan says:

    And she used to sing a song called ‘Nasty girl’ about girls having to wear more clothes. What a joke.

  35. linda says:

    YAWWWNNN!!!!! Her weave was WACK as hell in this vid and the lyrics were dumb as shit!!!! LAME!!!! Dude was cute though, he looked bored but cute, LMAO!!!!

  36. MissVJJ says:

    Predictable and boring. But the part with all the girls on the chairs dancing, I can totally see it being 100 times better if it were drag queens! Now THAT would be a show! 😀

  37. Dario says:

    Ugh, snooze fest! What a boring vid, so typical and predictable. The kk screenshot left me quite entertained though…lol, freakish looking and hilarious!

  38. normades says:

    @Kaiser: Is it too early to talk Oscar race yet? You can make lots of Fassbender connections there.

    btw, Fassie was on French tele last night promoting Shame. I get it now, I get the heat. At one point the interviewer asked him if he could take off his hat so she could see his eyes. He did and it was Sex-y!

  39. Sashafake says:

    SO SHE FINALLY ADMITS TO BEING A THIEF. WELL SHE LEARNED AT HER FATHER’S FEET HE IS A BIGGER THIEF. HE HAS BEING STEALING OTHER PEOPLE WORK AND IDEAS FOR YEARS AND PUTTING HER NAME TO THEM, SHE AND HER MOTHER HAVE GONE TO PARIS AND ITALY AND HAVE STOLEN JEANS AND TIGHTS DESIGN AND COME BACK TO THE STATES AND PUT THEIR TACKY HOUSE OF D. NAME ON IT SO SHE IS A BORN THIEF

  40. Saor says:

    Is she going to release a video to go with every song off this album? Every week it’s a new one! “Love on Top” is the only decent song out of the whole thing.

  41. mimirin says:

    A guy buys her flowers and she does all that? AND gets her four stripper friends to join her?

    Also, the last look on the guy’s face was telling me: “Great dance – it’s funny that she walked into the wrong office, though…”

  42. whatevs says:

    yes her moves are awkward and the timing is bad but i like the classic feel of the video. but that is all

  43. Str8Shooter says:

    Sorry, but ever since she and the rest of the ‘artists’ of Destiny’s Child butchered Edge of Seventeen in that crap-ass ‘Bootylicious’ song…never thought she was anything but D LIST.

  44. Luise says:

    I mean really! Where is her stripper pole?

    • JessicaSimpson says:

      Not even a good stripper! That was not enticing at all. That was like karaoke style stripping. Where people pretend to be strippers as a joke.

  45. JessicaSimpson says:

    Beyonce has NO CLUE how to be sexy. She needs to take a page out of Janet Jackson’s book. Sexy in a subtle way. NOT THIS. Did anybody older than 17 get turned on by this?

  46. KiaPey says:

    You all are just BEYONCE HATERS.There will never be anybody better than her. She is a brilliant performer and a wonderful role model. Don’t be mad that you can’t do the things in the video. I bet if it was Brittany Spears or Christina or any other WHITE performer you wouldn’t have a problem with the video.
