New images of Beyonce! One of the new images is from her Tumblr – I guess it’s a preview of her Super Bowl Halftime performance, in which she will surely go pantsless. The other new image is her new print ad for her fragrance Pulse NYC. The Photoshop is particularly heavy-handed and artless on that one.
Quick question: am I the only one who will be avoiding the Super Bowl like the plague? Like, I have no interest in the game, the commercials or the Halftime Show. I will cover it because it’s my job, but otherwise, I just don’t “get” why I should care. Is it because I’m a girl? Or is it because I don’t care about football/Beyonce/commercials? But yeah – I acknowledge that this is big business any way you look at it. It’s even big business for the gossip industry, because this week has included a slew of Beyonce-is-a-diva-themed tabloid stories. One tabloid – from the UK – claimed that Beyonce had demanded that Blue Ivy’s “cedar bed” be delivered to NOLA from NYC, and that she wanted the NFL to provide a nursery with rose-scented candles, kept at a constant temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit (which is really warm, right?). An unnamed source claimed that Beyonce is “by far one of the most difficult celebrities we’ve ever dealt with. The list is as long as my arm. She may be a superstar, but this day is about football not her.” Ouch. Thankfully, Beyonce has the NFL doing PR for her nowadays:
Beyonce Knowles is a frickin’ saint … and NOT the demanding, complaining Super Bowl Halftime diva that she’s been made out to be in recent reports … this according to the NFL.
Beyonce has been under fire after reports surfaced saying she’s been “difficult” towards the people putting together her Super Bowl Halftime performance … making ridiculous requests including a demand that Blue Ivy’s backstage nursery be kept at EXACTLY 26 degrees celsius.
But Brian McCarthy, the NFL’s Vice President of Communications, tells TMZ … the reports are “pure pulp fiction” … noting that Beyonce has been nothing short of a pleasure.
“Beyonce and her team have been great to work with throughout this process,” McCarthy says … adding, “We have enjoyed her creativity, vision and spirit in putting on a great show that is truly a Super Bowl performance.”
So, who do you believe? Random tabloid sources calling Beyonce a diva? Or named NFL sources saying that she’s a hard worker and not a diva at all? Well… I think Beyonce is a hard worker. I think she’s been busting her ass, and she will bust her ass something fierce during the halftime show. But I also think she’s a diva, but maybe not in the same way as, say, Mariah Carey. Bey’s diva ‘tude is mostly about her being the center of the attention, the greatest, the best, a demi-goddess roaming around on Earth to amuse the peasants. So I fully expect her to hijack the Halftime Show and debut her latest pillow or something. Something to get everyone talking about BEYONCE.

Did she threaten the NFL,not to sing if they dont publish this article?God some people..YUCK.15 minutes can sometimes seem like an millenium, sheeez. I pray God everyday for a new era entertainers.God i miss the 60’s, and im not even that old.
^100% in the blue Pulse pi ture they made her look like JLo’s sister.
Agree, I’ll take Jimi,Janis,Jim Morrison,Aretha,Tina,Marvin, Smokey, and Otis Redding over these entitled snots, and this chick has become insufferable with her self-promoting; there was a blurb on CNN not highly reported that an Inaugruration official said bouncy didn’t sing live;
As for the Superbowl Not Gonna Watch It;
Like much else too much Hollywood production not enough football, WHy not have marching bands entertain two from D1 schools, one from D2 or D3 and one from the historically black colleges (Grambling) better music and the students would love it.
I don’t believe the Superdome can contain bouncy’s ego.
I just don’t even know what to say about her anymore. Her ego is outrageous. I think I am inclined to believe the tabloids. All attempts to correct people about her diva status just sounds like protesting too much.
This! Ever since the claims that she had private security blocking new parents from traveling the halls of the hospital during the birth of her daughter surfaced I get a nasty taste in my mouth when I read an article about her and/or the hubby.
Yep – absolutely diva to assume her birth experience was more important than anyone else’s. Of course the NFL guy will say she is pleasant. He wants to keep her on board & happy!
Well I’ve always found it confusing the fact that she is allergic to perfume and yet endorses a perfume brand. I mean how do you sell the product? Do you just tell them lines up in the air “oh it’s fresh etc.?” without never having tried it? I don’t get it…
Hahahah! I’ve often wondeed about this as well. I remember the Destinys Child days when she said she didn’t wear perfume.
Seriously? “Feel the power”?
that her mind can’t even conceive of…
I believe the unnamed Sources me thinks they protest too much. Everyone knows Bouncey is a Diva why is beyond me her voice isn’t that great and she got beat out by an unknown Jennifer Hudson who actually won an Oscar. I’m just surprised no one has to bow to her yet. As for the football/superbowl hoopla I’m with you I’m already over it and plan on watching pretty much anything other then that. I’m betting on a nipple slip or wardrobe malfunction or maybe she will faint it will have to be pretty big.
I can see her fainting; she announced she’d be singing live at SB Sunday, so I’m guessing if she plans on doing so, she’ll pass out hard unless she doesn’t plan on dancing.
So what if she’s a diva? Can’t she just own it and make it part of her ‘power’? You can’t have it both ways, B. You can’t tell us you’re humble and just like us and at the same time boast about your awesomeness and ‘amazing power’.
Also, if you’re so amazing, why did you have them shop your head on someone else’s body in those ‘Pulse’-ads? It looks painfully obvious, too!
I wouldn’t have known that was her if her name wasn’t on the ad. That’s insane.
I’m the opposite, love football and everything about the Superbowl, except the half-time show. That’s when I take a bathroom break, handle anything that I ignored during the first-half of the game. I probably will try to catch a few minutes of her preformance, simply because of the build up. Hopefully she’s entertaining, I don’t care about the diva part.
+1
Me too. I currently live in Baltimore, but am originally from Green Bay, so football is part of my life and I LOVE it.
Yep me too. I use it as snack refreshing time and a moment to stretch my legs too.
Same here. Half time is to take a whiz & restock the cooler (so classy). GO 9’ERS!!!
+2 And I sure as hell won’t be watching now that she’s the halftime performer.
She’s becoming awfuller (if that is a word) and awfuller by the minute.
I wish she would just go away now. She’s obnoxious and arrogant beyond belief.
She hasn’t learned one bit from this scandal – has she. How stupid does she think people are about her complete smugness in covering things up. Instead of covering up her lies and fake image maybe she should cover herself up every now and then. God, she is the complete opposite of an intelligent or powerful woman.
The sides of those yellow undies must have had industrial tape to hold them up in that weird position… then again, if they sat where they normally should, they’d give the vapid narcissism monster a muffin top so… yea….
I’m really confused. Do they not have pants in her world?
She’s too powerful for pants!
Pants cannot contain the powerful perpetually pompous pretentious pillow producing pussy!
LMAO !!!!! Love the Alliteration !
Her perfumes are just like her; cheap and unoriginal.
ha! Love it and yep I agree.
Girl, put on some pants!
I can believe she’s working on her show, but also that she’s a diva with a lot of demands.
A hot room with rose candles and a cedar bed? Poor kid is going to want some fresh air.
Considering how high powered the NFL is, I doubt this. And if so, they’d never invite her to do anything, including lip sync the national anthem at a game (sorry, had to), again. The Super Bowl is watched by a metric butt ton of people and perhaps they spun it just a bit (much like the details of the ref lockout) e.g. she probably did ask for Blue Ivy’s bed but not the candles or something.
I’m not a Beyonce fan by any means but I’m a football fan and if it means not having a bunch of geriatrics on the stage because Janet Jackson’s rogue boob needed some fresh air, I’m all for it.
No offense monicaq but those “geriatrics” include Prince and the two remaining members of THe Who – far more talented and creative and influential musicians – not marketing gimmicks – than this overexposed egotistical ho will ever be.
Either way you spin it. THEY AREN’T CURRENT. Prince and Who were in their peak decades ago. She is going to bring the big numbers and is the only reason I’m watching the halftime show or game. She may be arrogant and spends all her money, but she is never seen partying, hasn’t flashed her crotch or hurt anyone so why care what she is only ‘rumored’ to do?
Meh, I think she’s probably a perfectionist and demands that people working with/for her up to some very high standards. Likely just being called a diva because she’s a demanding employer.
I pay no attention to football so thank God I won’t have to sit through her silliness. Watching her dance is embarrassing.
Kaiser, you are not alone in your apathy for football, however, as a bartender, my lack of interest in it got me scheduled to work Sunday afternoon b/c my bosses knew I would spend the day working instead of watching. It sucked but my bosses loved that at the end of the game I had to ask who our team played and who won.
Who’s the teenage girl in the Pulse ad?
Who really watches these crappy halftimes anyway? Does the NFL think that a bunch of drunk men are going to stop getting beer or do whatever they do to watch a spanxed weave troll around a stage?
Every year it gets worse. I used to watch the occasional game and it was mostly because of the commercials.
The NFL should PR what they’re planning to do about players head injuries instead of defending a weave with a diva attitude
LMAO @ ‘spanxed weave troll’ 🙂
I’m in the same boat, Kaiser. I have no interest whatsoever in football and anything that goes along with it. I can only name three athletes, and that’s because they show up in blog posts or hosted/were referenced on SNL (for those curious: Tom Brady and the Manning brothers). Ah, and Michael Vick for obvious reasons. I think there’s a murderer-turned-evangelist somewhere too right? Anyway. I don’t care for the superbowl or the half-time show, I just end up youtubing the commercials because they tend to be funny… I’m willing to give it a shot because I think the culture around it is kind of fun (friends/family gathering on Sunday with all kinds of game day junk food in their jerseys watching the game and reacting hyper dramatically).
How can a human sleep in a sauna?
I will not be watching. I’ve missed every single Super Bowl for the last 20 years. It’s just not interesting, not even the commercials. They used to be cute waaay back when.
Is it just me?Im over her!Why on earth would we want her at the Super Bowl?
She is soooooooooooooooo over exposed.
tired of it already.Her act at the Obama party didnt help either….ZZZZZZZ
Forget this, I’ll be watching the Puppy Bowl
follow @beyhaters on instagram!
78 degrees is way too warm for a baby – 68-72 is ideal baby temperature. At least for normal (aka peasant) babies.
I love football, but I’ll be turning the half time show off, as we do every year. I care about the game, not some diva’ s antics.
ITA. Plus, it can be dangerous especially for babies and children to be in an overwarm space.
Lol okay. They’re just saying that so her crazy fans don’t attack them. Her diva attitude is getting attention, and she wants damage control. She’s just over exposed. I think she’s talented, but every time interviews show up from her, I can’t help but roll my eyes, she’s just so …. Pretentious.
I guess the man speaking was too busy fielding the press to learn was pulp fiction means.
