After years of denying endless pregnancy rumors, Beyoncé finally has some good news to share.
The “Single Ladies” singer is pregnant.
Beyoncé held her belly as she arrived at the Video Music Awards Sunday wearing a long, red dress, quite the opposite of her normal midriff-baring stage costumes.
When addressing photographers on the red carpet, Beyoncé said, “I have a surprise!” People reported.
Beyoncé’s rep later confirmed the news to the magazine. “I’m happy to say it’s true,” the rep said, according to People.
In a June interview special on “Piers Morgan Tonight,” Beyoncé said she looked forward to parenthood.
“I always said I would have a baby at 30,” said the singer whose 30th birthday is September 4. Read more…
Tyler, the Creator facing off against electronic-pop act Foster the People. Tyler, however, bested the breakout pop act, as well as Kreayshawn, of “Gucci Gucci” fame, Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean.
Tyler gave an expletive-riddled acceptance speech, admitting he didn’t prepare one, and also confessed that he had dreamed of winning an MTV trophy since the age of 9. He ended the address with what seemed to be an inspirational statement to young fans, but it was largely bleeped by MTV so there isn’t much to quote.
The MTV award was for the single “Yonkers” from his solo effort “Goblin,” released on indie XL Recordings. The win was something of a surprise for MTV, as it veered from the popularity-contest feel of the show, as “Goblin” has long disappeared from Billboard’s top-200 albums chart.
Earlier, Beyonce revealed that she was pregnant with a few knowing rubs of her belly, and gave a rousing performance of “Love on Top,” a gleefully chipper single, while Orange County’s rising Young the Giant was given a prime slot for its energetic alt-rock single “My Body.”
NEW YORK (AP) — Lil Wayne is hoping his performance on the MTV Video Music Awards will be so good, fans will rush out and get his new album: The rapper is making it digitally available at midnight after Sunday’s show.
“Tha Carter IV” will be available on iTunes, Amazon.com and other digital outlets. The physical album will hit stores Aug. 29.
“Tha Carter IV” features collaborations with Drake, Cory Gunz, Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes and others.
Lil Wayne says he’s making history.
“I am extremely excited to be the first artist to utilize such an amazing idea. I hope that I can open the door for others,” he said in a statement Monday.
The strategy is similar to that used by Jay-Z and Kanye West for their best-selling “Watch the Throne” collaboration, which was available exclusively on iTunes for several days before hitting physical retailers. It debuted at the top of the charts last week. Read more…
