My (Review? lmao) Thoughts about The RENAISSANCE World Tour That No One Asked For
Tumblr media
BITCH I WAS NOT OMFGGGGG
I am SO glad I stayed away from clips of the show (for the most part lol) truly made the experience extremely special. like this is really my GOAT. THEE GOAT. And I got to witness her live and in person for a second time. I'm sooooo grateful and hopefully I'll have another opprotunity.
BUT WE ALREADY KNOW SHE'S THAT GWORL SO IMMA FOCUS ON THE DANCERS!
Amari Marshall is a fucking STAR. That's all I could think whenever I saw her. Stage presense on 100000. She's impactful.
Les Twins were utilized very well! I haven't seen them dance much since i hung up my fangirl cape, lol, but their dancing felt soooo familiar and I really enjoyed them 🥰
DANCE CAPTAIN HANNAH DLAINE! Y'all like to try my girl, but I loved everything she was doing on that stage. She may look diferent next to other dancers, but those lines, technique, elegance, that CLEAN look makes her great and Bey's fave 🤭
Simone showed up and showed out for her hometown! Definitely took notice of that. Ai, Alannah, and Brianna really held it down like the OGs they are. Kyndall may be the baby on tour, but she definitely rises to the occasion! love ha. Trinity is so radiant! Truly. This is her first big gig and she's definitely not taking it for granted. a PROFESSIONAL. Lisa, Nerita, ans Aakilah are all sooooo STUNNING? Truly shook looking at the three of them. Ms. Aliyah Janell doeeeeees thiiiiiiiiis lmao she was eating it up!
The boys, Rob, Zavion, Jus, Konkrete held it dooooown. They were utiilzed so well, especially in comparison to the boys on OTR2, no shade chile 🙃
Darius is also VERY STUNNING. FACE. CARD. and he can dance his ass off some ppl really have it all 😌. I loooved watching Carlos lmao idk what is was but i always found him whenever he was on stage 💕💕💕 And Jonté! Male Beyoncé himself! an undeniable talent.
and a special shoutout to Cha Cha Balenciaga! ate that ball right on up!
BLUE IVY THEE CARTER. That is all.
As for the choreography, I love the direction Fatima took it in. I know there's been criticism over how much Bey is dancing, but I think its the perfect balance of dance and vocals. I don't feel like I'm missing anything. the choreo matches the vibe of the album, of the era perfectly.
MOVE is my fave choreo at the moment, but now that I can watch clips lmao, that might change! I just cant get that Move Your Body Girl/Free Mind mashup out of my head 😌
This was just me writing down my thoughts so I’ll always be able to go back and reminisce on how I felt. If you read this whole thing, just know...
I love you deep deep deep deep 🥰🥰🥰

Drake and Meek Mill Made Up, So Why Can’t These Celeb Feuds End?
View this post on Instagram
This really gave me peace of mind tonight. Healing and moving forward created one of the most electric and gratifying moments of my career. @meekmill I’m happy that you are home and that we could find our way back to our joint purpose
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Cue the Kevin Garnett “anything is possible” adlib)
A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) on Sep 8, 2018 at 10:44pm PDT
At his September 8, 2018 concert in Boston, MA, Drake a.k.a Aubrey Graham, surprised fans by bringing out rapper Meek Mill. But this wasn’t just *any* surprise guest. The rappers—who performed Mill’s song “Dreams and Nightmares”—have been feuding since 2015, when Mill, who was then engaged to Drizzy’s longtime BFF and forever crush Nicki Minaj, accused the OVO singer of using a ghostwriter. Drake, never one to pass up an opportunity to reveal his heartache, released two scathing diss tracks back to back, and the rest, as they say, is history. Since 2015, a lot has happened: Mill and Minaj broke up (with the latter becoming seriously problematic), Mill spent time in prison and Drizzy continued to not-very-discreetly pine for Rihanna, stand up comedy Queen Tiffany Haddish and have a little Aubrey along the way. So why the sudden reconciliation? Maybe, like a fine wine, age has done them well, maybe Drizzy’s latest feud with Pusha-T (which dropped the bombshell that Drake was a DILF) has him reminiscing for a simpler time, or maybe, Mill needs a career reboot, and Drake, as a new, still emotional father, is looking to make amends. Whatever the reason, we can all agree that it’s for the better. And the rappers definitely seem to agree. Both artists shared their thoughts on the reunion on Instagram and sealed the deal with a game of ping pong after the show (so you know it’s real).
Drizzy and Mill join a long and historical list of celeb feuds. From the Capulets and the Montagues to Joan Crawford and Bette Davis to Taylor Swift and everyone on the planet, feuds are a rite of passage for the rich and famous. Not so typical? Making up. But if these two can put their differences aside, why can’t some of out other faves do the same? Below, some of the celebs we *need* to see kiss and make up.
Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff
For many ’90s kids, *this* was the feud to start them all. Like any good early aughts feud, it started with a boy. Tiger Beat was all the rage, Nick Carter was still posted up on every girl’s walls and Hilary Duff and the younger Carter were *the* hot ticket couple. That’s until a year-and-a-half into their relationship, when Carter started dating Lindsay Lohan, because he was “bored.” Which is just, really, rude? Cue snarky back-and-forth between Duff and Lohan, including digs on SNL and badmouthing to co-stars. The feud ultimately ended in Duff’s next BF, Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden, refusing to autograph merch for Lohan’s younger brother. The actresses publicly put their feud to rest in 2007, with Hilary telling People, “We are both adults, and whatever happened, happened when we were young”—but they haven’t been seen together since. While we’re glad they both realized Carter wasn’t worth it, we can’t help but reminisce about what could have been. In fact, with the impending birth of her second child, now is the *perfect* time for Duff to jet off for a baby-moon with her could-have-been bestie. May we suggest Mykonos? We know Lindsay could show her some moves.
Kanye West and Jay Z
The men who gave us Watch the Throne also served up one of rap’s biggest contemporary feuds. HOV and Ye used to be the best of friends, but during an October 2016 concert, West spoke out against his one-time bestie, revealing that their children—Blue Ivy and North—had yet to have a play date. He also criticized Jay and his wife Beyoncé for failing to reach out after Kim Kardashian West’s traumatizing robbery in Paris. In response, Jay called out the rapper’s erratic behaviour on his 2017 album 4:44 and told the Rap Radar podcast that Ye’s rant hurt him—specifically because it was about Bey and their family. “You know it’s a problem because me and him would have been talked about it, been our issues resolved,” he told the podcast. “And he knows he crossed the line.” No word yet on whether or not bros have talked, but in a recent (and v. cryptic tweet), Ye alluded to a reconciliation, saying: “throne2 coming soon.” Fingers crossed!

Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez
This feud would be over *real* quick, if Carey tuned in to Entertainment Tonight (or Instagram or any form of social media). In a literal sun-defying level of shade, songstress Carey has essentially denied knowing about Jennifer Lopez’s existence for the better part of a decade. It all began when Carey was asked about J.Lo in an interview. The pop diva responded with the now iconic, “I don’t know her.” Despite Lopez confirming that they’ve met numerous times, Carey has doubled down, telling Watch What Happens Live‘s Andy Cohen in 2016, “You know what? I’m very forgetful,” when he pressed her on the issue. While we do appreciate dedication to one’s craft (in this case, pettiness), it’s time for Carey to give it a rest. Yes, J.Lo has a hot bod, powerhouse voice and envy-inducing dance moves, but Carey has a lot going on too: she’s a businesswoman, actor and singer in her own right (not to mention, her gorgeous gams are insured for $1 billion). C’mon, Mimi, there’s definitely enough room for both of you in the pop culture game.
via GIPHY
Cardi B and Nicki Minaj
This very new feud is arguably the most upsetting of them all. Cardi B and Nicki Minaj are both rap goddesses in their own right, at least in part because they don’t pull punches with their lyrics—but apparently, that’s true in real life, too. At the 2018 Harper’s Bazaar ICONS Party on September 7, Bardi and Minaj reportedly came to blows, with the “Bodak Yellow” rapper appearing to lunge at Minaj, before throwing her shoe at the singer. Photos from later in the evening show Cardi B  sporting a ripped gown and large bump on her forehead as she was escorted out of the venue. In a lengthy Instagram post, Cardi insinuated the fight came about after Minaj made comments about the rapper’s daughter, writing: “when you mention my child, you choose to like comments about me as a mother, make comments about my ability to take care of my daughter is when all bets are f-ckin off!!” The rappers have previously shot down rumours of a feud and collaborated on 2017’s “Motosport.” Since the altercation, the twittersphere has been divided, with some Twitter users using the fight to demonstrate how men are the “superior gender.” These comments are further proof that we need ladies to stick together—we’re already up against the patriarchy, let’s not make it harder by fighting each other.

PERIOD.

JBiebs and Proper Footwear
Yes, this is a hill we will die on. Justin Bieber, Stratford, Ont.’s own hometown hero, has been trying to make slides and socks happen since summer 2017. Biebs, baby, it’s not going to happen. From golf dates to hitting the streets of NYC with his fiancée in straight up hotel slippers (ugh), this soon-to-be hubby has proven that his heart truly lies with everyone’s favourite public-pool shower footwear. We can only pray that his impending move back up to the Great White North—and those inevitable Canadian winters—will force the crooner to *finally* make the switch to closed-toe shoes. Trust us Biebs, your arches will thank you.

#FanFiction: This Story Imagines What It Was Like When There Was Trouble In The Carter Household
Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty
Before Beyoncé‘s sixth studio album dropped back in 2016, it was considered treasonous to question her relationship with longtime love Jay-Z. Up until Lemonade, the pair had been intensely private about their marriage and family—but when the album dropped and featured songs like “Pray You Catch Me,” “Sorry,” and “Hold Up,” Bey let the world know that, at some point, there was trouble in paradise.
Then, on 4:44, a sort of response to Bey’s accusations…Jay apologized and said it took having kids for him to be able to see life through a woman’s eyes. I’ll f*ck up a good thing if you let me/Let me alone, Becky…
While the Carters let us in, there was still so much to know… for instance, who is Becky with the good hair? What was it like when they weren’t on the same page? Did our relationship goals nearly split and call it quits? We don’t have the details, but one Beyoncé fan page is imagining some of those moments for us…and we can’t. stop. reading.
Interpreting a photo of Jay-Z trying to pick Blue Ivy up as she cries and clings to her mother in Antibes, France, Joy Mechell writes…
“‘Go to daddy’ Bey whispered to her daughter. When Jay went to reach for her, Blue snatched away and buried her face in her mother’s neck.’Please,’ Bey asked. Eventually Blue let him take her but Bey could tell this was far from over. When they got to their hotel, Jay laid Blue down for her nap before he opening the door. ‘Where are you going?’ Bey asked. She honestly didn’t want them to be on bad terms right now, especially over something that happened over a year ago. He didn’t answer her but he didn’t leave either. Eventually he closed the door and mounted the bed, pulling Blue into his arms carefully as not to wake her from her peaceful slumber. Bey watched them interact, the guilt sinking in as she tried to keep her original reasoning. ‘You’re the reason she’s acting like this’ he said, breaking the silence. ‘I’m the reason? You’re lucky my child is sleeping or—’ ‘OUR child Bey. She’s our child and you took her from me,’ he says in a strained tone. ‘You act as if I wasn’t going to let you see her ever again, you know I would never do that’ Bey argued. ‘I don’t know you at all. Not after I came home to an empty house and y’all stuff missing. So when was I supposed to see her Bey? When you decided to stop ignoring my calls? Not telling me you were in a whole different country so I could find you?’ he asked trying to keep his voice down. ‘I needed a break Shawn! I deserved a break and no I wasn’t going to leave her behind. I’m sorry it seemed like I did it out of spite but in that moment I was just reacting. I didn’t even plan on staying long, I just couldn’t be around you after hearing that’ Bey said as she thought back onto the most painful time of her life. ‘I would never keep her from you, or any kids we might have, just because we’re fighting. Even if we divorce I—’ ‘We’re not getting a divorce,’Jay interrupted. Bey sighed as remembering to pick her battles. She couldn’t see them divorced either but she can’t say separation never crossed her mind. Jay was about to say something else when Blue squirmed, wrapping her arms tightly around him while he rocked her. He knew he messed up but he couldn’t imagine losing them.Those two weeks were the wake up call he needed. Straighten up or he’d lose his wife #fiction.”
How do you think it went down? Head to Joy’s page for more fan fiction about your unbreakable faves.

RAWR! Celebs Serve Up Massive Drip At The Lion King's World Premiere! + Catch The Feel Good Vibes To Beyoncé’s 'Spirit' Song From Soundtrack
Tumblr media
  Beyoncé, her daughter Blue Ivy, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Donald Glover, Chloe x Halle, Tiffany Haddish, Tracy Morgan, and tons were flocked to The Lion King's world premiere. And everyone pulled up with a massive drip. All the red carpet flicks inside...
Tumblr media
We're a little over a week away before Disney’s The Lion King roars into theaters on July 19th. Woot!
Last night, the stars aligned in Hollywood for the world premiere of the computer-animated remake of the traditionally animated 1994 film. And everyone was drippin' sauce.
Beyoncé - who voices Nala - stunned on the carpet in a black and silver bejeweled Alexander McQueen blazer paired with a sparkly floor-length tulle skirt. The fab chick was laced with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, a diamond-encrusted clutch, and glittery strappy heels. She even rocked a new 'do - cornrows pulled back into a ponytail with her edges laid for the gawds.
Bey's daughter, Blue Ivy, was her total mini-me rocking a similar tuxedo Alexander McQueen ensemble. Adorbs!
Tumblr media
Bey's flex hit different. Def a loof we weren't expecting.
