BEYONCE AT THE GRAMMYS
Beyonce cleaned up at the Grammys in LA last night winning a massive 6 awards – the most ever won by a female artist in one year. She celebrated with yet another performance of If I Were a Boy mashed up with Alanis Morissette’s You Oughta Know.
Let’s hope she uses this success as an opportunity to put the I am… Sasha Fierce album and the 8 (!) singles she released from it to bed. She’s been promoting it and trotting out the same old performances for what seems like a century and we’re well and truly over it!
ANOTHER MEGABUCKS YEAR FOR B & J
Lapdancing for terrorists appears to be paying well these days, with Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z topping the 2009 list of Hollywood’s highest earning couples. The pair are reported to have earned around $100m between them in the last year alone.
This is probably not a great time for B’s wealth to be rubbed in our faces, considering it was alleged last week that she was paid $2 million to play a private New Year’s party in St. Bart’s for Colonel Gaddafi’s son, Hannibal. The Gaddafis have long been linked to terrorism, and hit the headlines last year when they celebrated the Lockerbie bomber’s return to Libya by giving him a hero’s welcome.
Other stars to make the top 5 were Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart (no.2), Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (no.3) and Will and Jada Pinkett Smith (no.4). Posh Spice Victoria Beckham will be furious to learn that, despite whoring herself for the paps at every opportunity, she and David have slipped from no.3 to no. 5 on the list. Still, not bad for a common tart posh bird from Essex.
2009 saw the credit crunch and multinational banks blamed for a big chunk of the world’s wealth disappearing. Turns out this lot had it all!

BEYONCE’S BIZARRE NEW YEAR’S SHOW
At RumerMills we’re big fans of Beyonce, but it’s well known that she would stab her granny for 50 bucks (or at least her pushy father Matthew would make her).
We wouldn’t put anything past her in her quest to increase her already vast fortune. In the past she’s been so greedy for cash as to take her tours to such 3rd world countries as Ethiopia and the Philippines.
That said, her latest money making enterprise leaves even us gobsmacked. On New Year’s eve she performed a private show in St Bart’s for Hannibal Gaddafi, son of Libyan dictator Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. Hardly appropriate given the hero’s welcome the Gaddafi family gave the Lockerbie bomber on his return to Libya last year, and their alleged links to several terrorist groups.
But to B that doesn’t matter. The cash she received may be dirtier than Lindsay Lohan’s bedsheets, but why should she care when there’s all those shoes, bags and diamond rocks to buy!

BEYONCE GETS UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
Beyonce thrilled concert-goers at London’s O2 Arena this week by throwing her increasingly curvaceous figure off the stage and landing on their heads in a surprise crowd surfing stunt. Not so much a stage dive as a belly flop, but the fans were delighted nonetheless.
It’s great that she’s so willing to interact with the audience – pay attention Ms. Spears!
Check out the footage above.

BEYONCE AND LADY G DUET ON VIDEO PHONE
What WAS Lady Gaga thinking when she agreed to appear on the worst Beyonce song of all time? Or should that be one of THE worst songs of all time?

GHASTLIEST DRESS OF THE YEAR MAKES SECOND APPEARANCE
We have to admit it looks FAR better on Beyonce, particularly as she left off the horrendous fur collar that Cheryl tried to glam it up with. It also helped that Beyonce fills the dress whereas Cheryl looked like a drowned rat.
See our reaction to Cheryl wearing the dress here.
