Beyonce may be many things – talented, a good dancer, even bootylicious. But it seems in Nevada, residents have deemed her offensive. A bikini-clad Beyonce is featured on a Clear Channel billboard for radio station KWNZ, and resident Pamela Keeney doesn’t like it.

‘‘It’s obscene,” [resident Pamela] Keeney told the Reno Gazette-Journal. ‘‘I have my two little grand kids coming over here, and they don’t need to be seeing that. You can change the channel on the TV, but you can’t change that.”
A Clear Channel respresentative did not return a phone call seeking comment.

Scott Seidenstricker, manager of KWNZ, said the photograph of Knowles is part of a series that also includes singers Gwen Stefani and Justin Timberlake.

‘‘The billboards were taken from publicity shots and this is the way those people perform,” Seidenstricker said. ‘‘So to show them in a jogging suit probably wouldn’t be the right thing.”

Mohave Daily News

So, maybe performing in a jogging suit wouldn’t be the “right thing,” but is performing in a bikini any better? It could be a nice jogging suit, with sparkles.

A forty foot image of a woman’s armpit would be offensive in anyone’s book. Particularly when it is blocking scenic mountain views. Do you really need a billboard with a picture of Beyonce to advertise music?

Actually, in this case Beyonce is advertising a radio station, and a picture of the announcers probably would be by far less appealing than a picture of Beyonce. There’s a reason people say “that’s a face for radio.” It’s because they’re mean.

This isn’t the first time Beyonce has been told to get some more clothes on - she cancelled a Malaysian concert in October as they have a strict dress code for female performers.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Header image from the Reno Gazette-Journal by Tim Gunn. Resident Pamela Keeney is shown, and the photo credit on the Reno Gazette-Journal reads: “Pamela Keeney doesn’t like the bikini-clad image of singer Beyonce Knowles on a billboard near her home off West Fourth Street, saying that it teaches boys to disrespect women.”

Malaysia is one strict country. Recently Gwen Stefani gave a concert there in which she had to cover up from head to toe, a move she called “a major sacrifice.” But she did it for her fans (or for the cash/publicity) and the world kept spinning. Beyonce, however, has refused to comply with the dress code, and her concert has been canceled.

“According to the rules introduced by the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage in 2005 there must be no hugging or kissing audience members or fellow artists, no jumping or shouting, no throwing objects onstage or at the audience and no foul language.

“Clothes cannot have obscene or drug-related images or messages, and female performers must show no skin from the tops of their chests to their knees.”

As I said when I covered the Gwen Stefani story, I’m a big “when in Rome” type. Beyonce wears some nastily skanky outfits, in my highly-cultured opinion. I’d love it if they could force some dress code on her here, too. Some type of pledge, maybe, like “I, Beyonce Knowles, promise never to wear anything designed by my mother, Tina Knowles. I promise never to wear anything designed by her clothing line, the House or Dereron. I pledge never to wear fur, or outfits with bizarre cutout patterns. I promise to stop exposing my armpits every chance I get.” I think that’d be fair not just to Malaysia, but to the whole world.

“Beyoncé apparently isn’t ready to restrain her jelly. Not even for the sake of her fans. The Grammy winner has canceled what was due to be her first concert in Malaysia next month, in the wake of protests over her booty-baring stage antics and increased pressure to conform to the country’s hard-line Muslim regime’s ultrastrict dress codes for female performers.

“Knowles’ International Creative Management agents, however, said the scuttled show was “due to a scheduling conflict” and nothing more. ‘It is with regret that we announce the cancellation of the Beyoncé Experience. It was to mark the very first time the performer would bring her show to Malaysia.’

“The statement confirmed Friday’s announcement by Kuala Lumpur-based concert promoter Pineapple Concerts that the plug had been pulled; Pineapple, however, declined to give a reason. The news follows an uptick in protests by several conservative groups, including the nearly 10,000-strong National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students, urging the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage to stop the concert from taking place.

“While Kuala Lumpur is a tour no-go, the singer has scheduled a gig to take place in nearby Jakarta on Nov. 1. While Indonesia is also a Muslim state, it has not set any guidelines in place for visiting performers, and Beyoncé will be able to don any of Mama Knowles’ cleavage-baring outfits she pleases and will also be able to jump, shout, curse and embrace audience members onstage—things she would not be allowed to do in Malaysia.

“Other than Stefani, acts that did recently make the highly restricted trip to the Malaysian stage include Kanye West, Earth, Wind & Fire and the Pussycat Dolls, whose promoters were fined nearly $3,000 after the girl group wore too-skimpy outfits onstage and danced in a ‘sexually suggestive’ way.”

[From E! News]

I can’t believe any country would ever let the Pussycat Dolls perform if they could find a reason to keep them out. I think they’re too slutty for pretty much everywhere… except porn. They could do well in porn. Seriously, Beyonce, covering up a bit won’t kill you. I’m not even saying this from Malaysia’s standpoint, I just mean it in life in general. I know I’m going to sound like grandma here, but must we expose our cleavage and our legs and our arms and our butt? Can’t it just be about the performance, instead of your booty? I mean I know the booty is nice, but will keeping it under wraps for just one night be so hard?

MediaTakeOut, a completely unreliable and often incorrect source, is reporting that Beyonce was the first actress considered for the role of Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant in the upcoming Sex and the City Movie. Beyonce made so many demands, including only being willing to wear fur-laden outfits from her mother’s poorly-designed House of Dereon label, that producers decided not to work with her.

According to our insider, Beyonce was all but assured the role. The source tells MediaTakeOut.com, “[Beyonce} read for the role and everyone loved her. She was perfect.”

But once they began negotiating Beyonce’s contract, the trouble began. Our source explained, “Beyonce’s management was pushing [producers] to have her wardrobe consist solely of [House Of Dereon] outfits. We told [them] that we couldn’t do that, but [they] just kept pressing us.”

Then, our insider claims, Beyonce’s team threatened to walk away from the deal. The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, “I think it was just some kind of negotiating strategy [to act like] they weren’t interested, but it backfired. As soon as we started feeling that Beyonce was getting cold feet, we called in other actresses.”

And that’s when Jennifer Hudson came into the picture. Our insider tells, “We knew that Jennifer [Hudson] was interested so we had her read for the part. She was fantastic. She may not be as big a star as Beyonce but she has a strong following and she’s a talented actress … and most importantly, she didn’t have any crazy demands.”

[From MediaTakeOut]

It could be true, especially considering how well known it is that Beyonce is a diva. Still, if Beyonce was about to have a feature role in the film, you think the news would have been out that she was in talks. There were no google results that indicate that there’s a source for this story other than MediaTakeOut, so I doubt it’s true.

Jennifer Hudson was photographed on set yesterday looking silly in a black trenchcoat, Burberry boots and a Chanel tweed flap purse. I thought that purse was super ugly, and the purse afficionados over at The Purse Page agree with me:

She’s looking good as usual, save for…well, most of that outfit. I’m trying to divert my attention from the foul boots, but then I’m drawn to that purse. And that purse ain’t pretty. Usually Chanel can be relied on to save the day in a disastrous moment, but that doesn’t seem to apply to the line’s new Tweed Flap Bag, which features a clearly disastrous combination of fringe and embroidered pearl piping. Fortunately this isn’t real life - Jennifer doesn’t need any more fashion faux pas after the python bolero incident at the Oscars, does she?

[From The Purse Page]

A lot of the fashion on the Sex and the City movie will involve risky pieces that don’t necessarily work, and that’s an integral part of the plot and Carrie’s character. If MediaTakeOut is right about Beyonce getting passed over for insisting on using her own wardrobe choices, that means that producers wanted to make their own choices about which overpriced bad fashion to feature. Maybe House of Dereon stuff just isn’t hideous enough.

Thanks to WENN for these pictures.

Details of Beyonce’s backstage behavior make her seem like a demanding diva who thinks she’s above the masses. She insists that none of the local staff look at her or talk to her while she’s on tour, and people are even instructed to get the hell out of her way if she’s coming.

Her backstage demands involve white linen draped over everything, including the floor, which her people smooth out for her after she walks on it. She treats her crew to the finest gourmet cuisine while making the people from the venue eat subs, and she’s said to be super rude and demanding.

“All the local staff were instructed by Beyonce’s people not to look at her, speak to her or approach her,” the source tells Star. “The staff were actually told before the show that if Beyonce was coming down the hall, you were to find an unlocked room and immediately go into it, out of her presence… no one could remember diva behavior this bad before!”

Beyonce’s people have also demanded that most of the backstage area be covered with what appeared to be white linen, says the source, who adds: “It was all over the walls and the furniture in her dressing room. It was even spread out on the backstage walkway like a ‘red carpet’ for Beyonce - and one of her people even had to smooth out the wrinkles after she passed by!”

While everything possible was being done for her, Beyonce and her people didn’t seem to be in a giving mood themselves, said the source. “Most acts will share their catered gourmet food with the backstage staff - but that wasn’t the case this time. So while Beyonce and her crew lunched on lobster tail and filet mignon, each of the local staff had to make do with a three-inch subway sandwich, an apple and a bottle of water!”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, September 24, 2007]

I’ve heard before that Beyonce insists on white linen over everything, but the fact that she’s rude and doesn’t like people talking or looking at her is news to me. The article also includes a story about how she snapped at a wardrobe person for a scuff on her shoe saying “You ain’t gonna make me roll like that!”

Beyonce puts on an great performance, and she actually sings, not that it’s an adequate excuse for being so uptight and demanding about everything. At least she’s talented and it’s pulling the diva act without something to back it up.

I wonder if I’d get a sense of entitlement if I had tens of thousands of people screaming adoringly at me in venues all around the world. Of course I would. For me that level of fame would involve a personal sushi chef who was also skilled in the art of hibachi cooking. I love when they make those volcano things on the grill right in front of you. I would let the plebians look me in eye and talk to me though. I mean, I would have invested so much in my face by that point.

Beyonce was seen out with new hair yesterday. The snotty singer now has a dark black weave instead of a light brown one. She is pictured leaving the party for the launch of Diddy’s new perfume “Unforgivable Woman.” Thanks to Splash News for the pic.

Apparently “People” thinks flashing your armpits every chance you get is an indicator of high fashion, because they’ve named Beyonce as their best dressed celebrity of 2007. Britney Spears was also mentioned, though not for classy style (‘cuz glitter bikinis are always classy y’all!) – she was awarded the most shocking style moment award for shaving her head in an attempt to avoid a drug test.

“Beyonce, 26, was dubbed “The Showstopper,” while actress Cameron Diaz walked into the top 10 as “The Legs,” and actress Katie Holmes, who is married to Tom Cruise, graced the list as “The Classic.”

“‘Beyonce just looks amazing every time she goes out,’ assistant managing editor Cynthia Sanz told Reuters. ‘She likes to show off her curves and she is very glamorous.’ Beyonce has her own fashion line, ‘House of Dereon,’ that mixes hip hop influences with feminine touches like lace and ruffles that she launched with her mother, stylist Tina Knowles, in 2004.”

[From Reuters]

I’m not a fan of Beyonce’s clothing line since they use fur. Her mom has the kind of crazed, Cruella de Vil look that says, “I eat kittens when I’m bored” and that freaks me out. In other Beyonce news, she and Jay-Z are reportedly about to tie the knot… not be confused wit the other 374,472,094 times they were reportedly about to tie the knot.

“At a Las Vegas press conference to announce plans to open his third 40/40 Club at the Palazzo hotel, the 37-year-old rapper - who has been dating the 26-year-old singer for over four years - confirmed they will tie the knot in the very near future.

“Asked if they had set a date for the wedding, Jay-Z said: ‘One day soon - let’s leave it at that.’

“The hip-hop mogul went on to hint he may even choose the Palazzo as the wedding venue, if the hotel’s President Rob Goldstein buys Beyonce an expensive ring.

“He joked: ‘I don’t know if the wedding will be here… It’s kind of comfortable. If Rob throws in the ring, who knows?’”

[From Stuff]

I’m sure Beyonce’s mom could come up with a lovely ring made from a defenseless animal’s paw. Instead of the traditional bridal veil, Beyonce could wear a net made from the webs of innocent spiders. Wait, that one doesn’t work. But you get my point. Tina Knowles is evil. Beyonce seems to have a pretty good fashion sense, but only when her mother doesn’t dress her. Whenever reporters yell out that whole, “Who are you wearing?” line, when she says it’s something her mother designed, it’s always shiteous and bizarre looking. But Beyonce seems to have enough sense to know that, because she’s been dressing a lot better the last few years… and wearing clothes from real designers. Designers that don’t sprinkle puppy tears on their cereal in the morning like Tina Knowles probably does. And aren’t her real fur coats just to die for? Literally?

Why have best dressed men lists? Even the most stylish man just tends to walk around in either a tuxedo or a t-shirt. There’s not much complicated about men’s dressing, why not have best punk rocker style for say, Pete Wentz? Or Best male use of make up, which would probably also be won by Pete Wentz.

I’m also confused about the criteria: Avril Lavinge’s lace dress and combat boots is a style no-no, but Lily Allen’s signature look is a dress and hi-top sneakers (Lily is mentioned in a British best dressed section of the magazine). Aren’t these just different versions of the same look? And none of the women on the best dressed list are cleavage shy, but it’s not okay for Hilary Clinton to show off her assets?

Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland are working on a project together, but it’s not a Destiny’s Child reunion. It’s an apartment block of crisis housing in Houston.

Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland were on hand Wednesday for the groundbreaking of the Knowles-Rowland Temenos Place apartments on the corner of Gray and Chenevert.

The project is backed by the Survivor Foundation, which was set up by the Knowles family and Rowland after Katrina in 2005.

Other sponsors include St. John’s United Methodist Church and the city of Houston.

The project is described as a 43 unit single-occupancy transitional housing development designed to provide housing for women and men taking “significant steps in improving their lives after … personal and natural disasters,” the Survivor Foundation reports.

Construction of the apartments is expected to cost $4 million.

Beyoncé, Rowland, and Solange, Mathew and Tina Knowles have pledged $1 million to the project.

Houston Chronicle

It seems that the two singers have used all their connections to get funding for the apartments, including Wal-Mart and American Express, and more unusual sponsors like L’Oreal and Giorgio Armani. The apartment is not the first humanitarian project Beyonce and Kelly have worked on together, it’s on the same block as the Knowles-Rowland Centre for Youth Recreation.

I love it when celebrities use their powers for good instead of evil.

If you’re anything like me, you were probably sitting around, looking at your wall, and thinking, “Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the richest rap mogul of them all?” If your mirror said Jay-Z, you should give it some Windex. Jay-Z was just named the richest rapper by Forbes.com. I thought they were supposed to spend their time talking about financial markets, stocks, and making people panic over real estate. But it seems that lately, Forbes is spending the majority of their time coming out with “The richest…” lists. Last week they had “The richest bald man” and “The richest one legged farmer.” Okay not really, but I would read Forbes a lot more if they did. Okay not really.

“Jay-Z wins all around, says Forbes.com. He’s got Beyonce on his arm _ and more millions than 50 Cent and Diddy. The rap icon, aka Shawn Carter, is No. 1 on the site’s list of “Hip-Hop Cash Kings,” based solely on 2006 income. He banked an estimated $34 million, Forbes.com said Thursday.

“Jay-Z, president and CEO of Def Jam Recordings, released his 11th studio album, ‘Kingdom Come,’ which sold around 2 million copies. Jay-Z, 37, is also part owner of the New Jersey Nets and has endorsement deals with Budweiser, Hewlett-Packard and General Motors.”

[From Forbes.com]

It might be good to be Jay-Z – yeah you have a lot of money, and Beyonce at your beck and call singing that “Cater 2U” song (blech) – but you’d also have to deal with that crazy mother of hers, Tina Knowles. You know, that lady that’s always trying to drape people in the fur of live puppies? Well her clothing line is one of the few out there that still uses fur, and to me it’s all the same thing. Who else makes a lot of money and doesn’t come wit the bizarre mother?

“Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson ranks second with an estimated $32 million. The 31-year-old rapper-businessman oversees his G-Unit record label, clothing line, ring tones and other enterprises, and has sold more than 11 million albums. His latest record, ‘Curtis,’ is due out Sept. 11.

“Diddy (real name: Sean Combs) placed third with an estimated $28 million. A fashion plate, he has a clothing line, Sean John, and heads Bad Boy Worldwide Entertainment and its record label. Diddy, 37, is also host of MTV’s ‘Making the Band’ series.

“Rounding out the top five are Timbaland ($21 million) and Dr. Dre ($20 million). They’re followed by Eminem ($18 million); Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and Scott Storch (all $17 million); Ludacris and T.I. (both $16 million); Outkast and Lil Jon (both $14 million); Ice Cube ($13 million); Jermaine Dupri and Swizz Beatz (both $12 million); Chamillionaire and The Game (both $11 million); and Young Joc ($10 million).”

[From Forbes.com]

You could be at the bottom of that group and still be doing pretty well for yourself. I have no idea who Swizz Beatz (sounds like the name of a cheap watch) or any of the guys after him are, but I’m pretty sure I could learn to love them, given the chance.

Please name some popular female celebrities that we gossip about regularly who don’t either have fragrances or represent a fragrance. I know that the only one I can think of offhand is Lohan, and that’s a good thing because she looks she would smell smoky and old beyond her years like her voice. It seems like just about everyone has a perfume or advertises one. In just the past week there have been stories about fragrances by Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwen Stefani, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and The Beckhams. Here’s a list of celebrity perfumes from Wikipedia, and although it’s long I bet it’s not complete.

The appeal of celebrity fragrances is perplexing to me because I’m not particularly fond of perfume. I associate it with people getting in my olfactory space when I’m on an elevator or in another closed area. When I did wear perfume I stuck to one brand, Angel, and was loyal to it for a few years. There must be a decent demand for celebrity scents or else there wouldn’t be so many of them, although the market seems like it’s saturated at this point. Do any of you have more than one perfume that you use regularly and do you try new perfumes? I do that with makeup, but the scent thing just never caught on with me.

According to an August, 2006 AP article, the celebrity perfume market is the fastest-growing segment of the fragrance industry, but it’s definitely getting overcrowded:

But some experts warn the market is heading for saturation as increasingly unlikely celebrities latch onto the trend.

“There is a kind of exacerbation of the phenomenon right now which makes me think we are not far from the breaking point,” said Marie-Claude Sicard, a Paris-based expert in brand analysis and strategy.

The craze for celebrity scents is credited with reviving a dormant fragrance industry and bringing a whole new customer base of under-40s to perfume counters.

Celebrity and celebrity-endorsed brands represented 23 percent of the top 100 women’s fragrances in the United States in 2005, up from 10 percent in 2003, according to NPD Group data.

Offerings in the pipeline include scents from New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, teen queen Hilary Duff and singer Mariah Carey.

[AP article found on MSNBC]

The article says that there’s a lot of criticism that the perfumes smell the same and just have different names attached to them. Maybe the boyfriends of celebrity fragrance-wearers can close their eyes and pretend they’re getting with the airbrushed woman on the bottle of the perfume in the medicine cabinet. Guys usually don’t need much assistance in that department.

Anyway here is Beyonce in a silly-looking strapless blue dress with a big ‘ol bow and too-light shiny pantyhose launching Emporio Armani Diamonds yesterday. You think they would hire a decent stylist for her.

And here’s the video for the commercial:

Thanks to PRPhotos for these pictures.

Remember when youtube.com first started, and then it got popular, and then we had the first scandal of a fake candid video? Well, Lonelygirl15 is one of the biggest scandals to hit YouTube, and her first series is over.

After more than a year and 260 episodes, 16-year old Bree, the main character on the web drama LonelyGirl15, was killed off at the hands of the religious cult that had chased her for the life-giving qualities of her rare blood type.

In her last appearance on the popular and influential web show, Bree, portrayed by Jessica Lee Rose, lies lifeless on a table while her blood is transfused into one of the cult’s elders. The monotone of her flat-lining heart pierces the silence as her devastated friends watch from a distance.

Sydney Morning Herald

Bree’s friend’s will continue to fight the religious cult in the next series. Check out the series here, as it is no longer on YouTube.

I never knew it went so long! Now Jessica Lee Rose (the actress who portrayed Bree) is planning on heading up to Hollywood, and trying out her acting skills in a more mainstream environment.

This wasn’t exactly the first time YouTube had fakes. Like advertisements for products that were meant to look like amateur videos. I’ve never watched YouTube just for the browsing value (maybe when New Zealand catches up with the rest of the world and gets some decent internet it would be more satisfyingly faster) but it is amazing what people put up there – and what gets removed.

A mother is suing Universal Music Publishing Group for insisting a video of her toddler dancing to music by pop star Prince be yanked from YouTube on copyright violation grounds.

Electronic Frontier Foundation lawyers said they filed a lawsuit yesterday asking a San Francisco federal court to protect the woman’s fair use and free speech rights.

“Universal’s takedown notice doesn’t even pass the laugh test,” said EFF lawyer Corynne McSherry.

“Copyright holders should be held accountable when they undermine non-infringing, fair uses like this video.”

Sydney Morning Herald

Floating about the place this week is also the top ten YouTube rock and roll moments, which need to be updated as soon as possible to include Beyonce’s stage fall.

Note by Celebitchy: You can see all the videos on YouTube. Here is the one where Bree dies, its at about 1:50 into this video. I had to watch several of these crappy episodes to find it. You can tell she’s really dead because there are two more episodes after this where her friends talk about it. Some people really liked this, and I guess for YouTube they did a decent job.
