Here are some photos of Beyonce and Jay-Z doing some very last-minute Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve. Why does Jay look so pissy? Is it because they’re being pap’d and he just wanted to get his Bergdorf on? That’s where they were – Bergdorf-Goodman. Global Grind says that Beyonce and Jay might have met up with Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin at the department store too, which is kind of cute. Double-date shopping spree on Christmas Eve? Or maybe they were just getting food or something.
Did you know that Beyonce is going to be on the cover of Vogue in a few months? Rumor going around is that Annie Leibovitz photographed Beyonce for the March cover… which is Vogue’s annual “Power Issue”. Beyonce deigning to cover the Power Issue? Yeah. I could see that. I hope the interview is good too – Vogue has some good celebrity interviewers these days (unlike Vanity Fair – has anyone else noticed a marked decline in the quality of VF’s celebrity interviews?), so I hope we’ll have a lot of good/weird/interesting Beyonce quotes to analyze. Bey will probably be covering the March issue because: A) she’s the Super-Bowl half-time show, and B) she’s dropping a new album… soon.
Last thing: Note the prominent BLUE all over the place in Beyonce’s outfit. Little Blue Ivy will be 1 year old on January 7th. Cough. It feels like longer, right? It feels like Blue Ivy has been around for longer than a year, but maybe that’s because Blue’s early months were overanalyzed and nitpicked. I wonder what kind of birthday party Bey and Jay will throw for their daughter?

Ok, don’t yell at me people, but I have a question: is my vision being severely impaired, or is Bey’s skin really getting lighter and lighter? What is that?!

Possibly, black people, especially lighter skin toned blacks, tan and lose the tan just like everyone else. I fall into that category every summer and winter unfortunately.

I know, it just feels a bit like an extreme discoloration. As in, if this is just normal winter skin then her summer complexion should be a light colour too, and I remeber her being darker, back when she started.

You’d be surprised how dark black people can tan, I’ve seen several go from very light to mid-tone to dark. It’s all about how melanin reacts to the skin, It can over-produce and appear permanent. Especially when someone isn’t practicing good skin-care or sun protection.

I am a light skinned black person but I tan so dark in the summer. If people go back and look at pics of Betonce when she was a child and just starting out, she is the same complexion.

Ditto here, I’m white, my hubby is fairly dark skinned, our daughter is normally a ‘tan’ color, and when in the sun a lot tans quite a bit, so that by the end of the summer she’s quite a bit darker than in winter.

I’m a light skinned black and asian girl and it’s ridic how light I get in the winter time. Another reason winter is my least favorite season

Lena, thank you so much. People are so uneducated about things pertaining to African American skin. Thank you for clarifying. It happens to me too.

@IllNana, I know I don’t know much about African-American skin type, I didn’t mean to offend anyone. All of the black people I know here in Italy are Africans and they are very dark skinned; during winter they don’t get much lighter, as Beyoncè does, and since I’ve been told that bleaching seems to be an option for some dark skinned people I inquired if Beyoncè’s discoloration was natural or not. So many of you say it can be (BTW, thank you guys for explaining!), so I guess I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt

@ rocketmerry,
A good example of skin bleaching would be Sammy Sosa. Google pictures of him and notice how abnormal it looks. It definitely goes on, but I’m sure Beyonce is just light skinned black woman who gets darker/lighter depending on the weather and how long she sits in the sun, etc. Don’t feel bad for asking for clarification.

Eh, it depends. I’m part black, native american (1/16) and irish and I’m as pale as as a snowflake. When I “tan” in the summer, I get slightly darker, that’s it. If my hair wasn’t super curly and went into an afro whenever I combed it out, then you would look at me and think that I am white.

Well I’m not black but I am a dark hispanic and if its a good summer I usually have to get darker makeup because I tan in a hot second and stay that way til winter. It just depends on the person.

maybe she’s just wearing blue…yesterday, I wore my special jeans, ripped at the knee, and a light blue shirt and I didn’t wear it in honor of my daughter….

She’s a beautiful girl, but I don’t get the bun on top of the head thing. So unflattering.

It almost makes her look like Jennifer Lopez.

That’s a very nice compliment.

I was thinking the same thing about the bun!

My husband HATES the bun. He won’t speak to me when I wear it. But it’s the quickest, most comfortable, most convenient hairstyle for the lazy.

Why are they trying to shove her down our throats? Her time has passed.

No one is shoving anything down your throat and her time has passed? Don’t think so.

Then how do you explain the distinct taste of Beyonce on my breath? It tastes good but kind of expired.

What’s with what these two are wearing? Honestly blue tights? And Jay-Z looks like he is wearing something my 11 year old son would wear. All the money and the world and this is what they wear?

I will NEVER understand those who have the money to dress well and refuse to do so. *side-eyes Lardassian Kartrashian*

Beyonce style of dress has changed a lot after the baby. She is dressing strange/younger. I can’t explain it.
and regarding those clothes they have on.. Any 1 or 2 pieces would make someone’s mortgage.

What’s wrong with what she’s wearing? I actually like the whole outfit except the shoes.

I have no problem with the dress or coat but I hate the tights. I hate tights on anyone though, they piss me off and I have no idea why..

It’s been a quick year…I can’t help but think that Jay Z always looks like he’s letting out a fart.

Look for them to announce pregnancy in oct of 2013 that’s when the surrogate will be impregnated again.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Again? It’s never even been proven she used a surrogate the 1st time. Beyonce is not getting pregnant anytime soon. She will be busy all year with a new album and her world tour.

*** has anyone else noticed a marked decline in the quality of VF’s celebrity interviews***
I glad you pointed that out. But I don’t think it is just VF’s celebrity interviews. I think this applies to most celebrity interviews. I look at the magazine section and just keep walking. The people on the covers are super boring and I really don’t find what they are saying interesting enough to read in the store let alone buy the magazine.
I saw a week or so on another site about Beyonce getting the cover of March or February. Again it makes sense with the Super Bowl so good promotion. Not to mention her 50 million dollar Pepsi deal. So yeah it makes sense.
The only thing I’m tired of with her is all those teasing pictures of Blue Ivy. I just don’t understand it. Jay was asked about a baby on some RC and he seemed pretty sure they were not going to have another this soon. I see them having maybe 1 more baby and that will be it.
