BEYONCE DOES ‘ELLE’

Singer/actress Beyonce about the basics of life — career, marriage and kids — in the January issue of Elle magazine.

Some highlights:

Beyonce on her marriage to Jay-Z: It’s a power struggle. But if I didn’t respect someone and they didn’t have that strength, then I would be bored. I wouldn’t be attracted to them.”

Beyonce on having kids: “I’m terrified of having a child. No way! I’m terrified of delivering a child because I saw my nephew being born. That traumatized me. I’m only 27. I’ve got time.”

Beyonce on how her latest role, playing Etta James in Cadillac Records, took an emotional toll on her personal life: “My mom had to leave the set. I don’t normally curse. Maybe twice a year. I have to be really livid. Somebody saying things or scheduling something where I’m not in control. It was freeing, but it was also the most emotionally draining time of my life. Every day I would come home; my eyes would be completely swollen.”

    A power struggle? Doesn’t that sound like a lovely marriage? I don’t think she will ever have kids to be honest, she seems like the type of person who is just wayyyy too self-centred to put herself through something like childbirth. I think Mariah Carey is the same.

    Her “Let Me Updgrade Ya” ad shown during Sunday NFL is just an embarassment. When I first saw it, I thought it had to be a joke. I particularly love the part where she puts the “UPGRADE” gold necklace in her mouth while dancing. Classy.

    That cover isn’t her best, I do like Jay-Zs new look though. Reminds me of a cartoon.

    That ain’t her body. Beyonce is not that thin. Looks like Beyonce’s face on Jen Anniston’s body. This girl tries desperately to look White. It’s pathetic.

    Her mom had to leave the set because she is cursing IN CHARACTER in a scene because she only curses twice a year? Someone tell this bloody cunt to shut the fuck up.

    A racist like you, Lisa II, thinks everyone wants to look white. You must revel in your whiteness. It’s probably how you get through the day feeling superior to all non=whites.

    Don’t people like ‘Lisa II’ make you ashamed to be put in the same category as her? I think she needs a good education, because her ignorance is beyond me.

    Lisa……. You sound intelligent honey, go play in traffic. Kthanx.
    Miss sue & Sarah ( Yes you are the same person, stop fronting and thinking that by posting as different names people don’t recognize the style of writing… Jackass)……. Kiss my white ass. I’m not a racist, stop turning shit around. You’re the one calling white people names, not the other way around…

    Ok I don’t know about BeJeeBus I haven’t read anything racist, since i’ve been coming to the site. But ‘Lisa II’ I normally don’t tell people to STFU because we have different opinions. But if you want to convey your anger somewhere else it would help, how a light-hearted topic turned into a racist debate is because of you. I hope all your talk is not just for this site, I hope you speak out loudly with all your racist comments, otherwise you’re just shaming yourself.

    I’m racist? How exactly? I stated my opinion on Beyonce’s look. Beyonce just happens to be Black. I think you ladies should stop looking for “racism” everywhere. You will never progress.

    Are you stupid? No fuck that we all know you are, at least admit to what you do. You slag every black person off as often as you can, so don’t deny it now. Go back to the Heidi Klum post then if we’re makign it up.
    By the way the statement you JUST MADE proved the point. Not gonna bother with you’re ignorant arse now, so have fun.

    Well, if Mimi didn’t call Heidi a “ignorant bitch” because she didn’t comb her kid’s hair, I would not have stated a thing. It’s funny how you call out people who criticize people who happen to be Black but are never offended when non-Black people are harshly criticized. Therefore, f@ck off. By the way, we have a Black president now so the race card should be dead and buried.

    That’s not a pretty picture of beyonce but I think she’s beautiful normally. All celebs black, white, spanish whatever are photoshopped to looker thinner or bigger boobs it has nothing to do with race. I don’t think they even have control over how the pictures look. If beyonce had control she would of picked a much better looking picture than that.

    I wrote a poem about Beyonce and I would like to share it with you, if you please… ahem…

    Beyonce is fat.
    Beyonce is stupid.
    Beyonce is old.
    Beyonce is a legendary copycat.
    Beyonce can’t sing.
    Beyonce is plain.
    Beyonce wears butt pads.
    Beyonce has the personality of a chicken wing.
    Beyonce is vain.
    Beyonce is spoiled.
    Beyonce needs makeup to be seen in the day.
    Beyonce is tired.
    She needs to sit down.
    And most of her fan base is gay.

    Thank you! Goodnight!

  26. How stupid are you?
    December-5-2008 @ 7:28 am

    ‘Lisa II’ you’re really dumb, for one you have never said anything racist to any other race and if you did i’m sure enough people would put you in your place! Two, yes we have a black president, so YOU and all you other ignorant lots minds should be dead and buried. But obviously i’m not that stupid to believe that racism has banished. Oh and it was ‘Lisa II’ who brought up jennifer Aniston to compare the two. Have no clue why, it was pretty dumb.
    Oh I suggest you FUCK OFF as no one wants your anger filled comments to ruin a good post.

    Back to the subject……..those pictures look like shit. She’s just so fucking stupid that she should never speak. Her mom had to leave the set?!?!?! Really??????? And she doesn’t want to have a child because she’s a two-piece away from being a fat ass and she knows it. She obviously has to work hard to keep her weight in check.

    The picture on the right–she looks like a racoon that was wounded. Why anyone would choose that particular picture for the cover is a mystery.
