| Beyoncé Is the Gift That Keeps on Giving, If Your Name Is Reese Witherspoon - Vulture Posted: 15 Jan 2020 10:13 PM PST  Photo: Reese Witherspoon/Instagram Friendship can take many forms and blossom between two people at any time. Sometimes it strikes two children teeter-tottering on a see-saw, other times it strikes two of the most famous women on the planet at the height of their careers. The friendship bolt seems to have struck Beyoncé and Reese Witherspoon pretty hard, as Reese has received not one but two (2) presents from the ever-benevolent Queen Bey. The first present? A bottle of Beyoncé and Jay Z's signature Champagne. The second? A truly massive orange box containing B's soon-to-be-released new line for Ivy Park. Like any sane person, Reese was thrilled to receive yet another gift from Beyoncé and took to Instagram to celebrate her good fortune. "Does this officially make me the newest member of the #Beyhive," Reese  |
| Journalists apologize for mocking Beyoncé's daughter Blue Ivy - Today.com Posted: 04 Jan 2020 12:00 AM PST  Two reporters apologized this week for rude comments they made on Twitter about the appearance of Beyoncé and Jay-Z's 7-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. It all started on Wednesday when rapper Megan Thee Stallion posted two fun, black-and-white photo booth shots of herself, Beyoncé and Blue Ivy ringing in the new year. That's when Vanity Fair film critic K. Austin Collins chimed in, "I have a feeling the jay z face genes are about to really hit Blue Ivy and I feel so sorry for her." Violet Lucca, a web editor for Harper's, replied to Collins' tweet, "They haven't already?" "Or she'll just get plastic surgery at 16 a la Kylie Jenner and we'll all have to pretend that she always looked that way…I can't allow myself to feel too sorry for the incredibly rich!" Lucca added. Trending stories,celebrity news and all the best of TODAY. Both journalists were immediately blasted for commenting on the 7-year-old's appearance. "Why would an adult come out of their face and say anything negative about anyone's child? Unbelievable is anything off limits? You never say anything negative about anyone's child period!" said one Twitter response. "Look at her she's beautiful and just hanging with mommy and Megan." "This is a beautiful girl!" someone else replied. Lucca and Collins apologized and have since deleted their offending tweets. However, since nothing ever truly goes away on the internet, screenshots of their remarks continued to circulate on Twitter. "I'm sorry about the Blue Ivy tweet — bad joke, and black girls in particular deserve better," Collins tweeted Wednesday. When told by one user he should never have published the tweet, Collins responded: "you're right. Poor form on my end. Thanks all for calling it out." Lucca apologized in tweets on Wednesday and Thursday. "Sorry I was cleaning my apartment while this blew up...children of famous ought to be off limits, but time and again they haven't been. So I said something petty and have been called ugly, old, and a racist," she wrote in a tweet Wednesday night. "We've been moved to the evil category and there's no way for us to get out of it," Lucca wrote. "I'm sure there will be plenty of people responding to this saying I'm playing the victim by pointing this out." She added that she was "truly sorry to anyone who was reminded of past hurt" because of her comments. "I truly believe Blue Ivy will go to the grave without knowing who I am, which is neither here nor there, but on the off chance she sees it—I'm sorry, young lady. You're gonna go far no matter what," Lucca tweeted. While Blue Ivy was unfortunately dragged into headlines this week due to the mockery, next week is shaping up to be a fabulous one for Beyoncé's first born. She'll be celebrating her eighth birthday on January 7! Happy birthday, Blue!  |
| Celebrities delay announcing what baby name is - TODAY Posted: 15 Jan 2020 11:34 AM PST  More and more celebrities are choosing to delay the announcement of their children's names — weeks, months, or even years after the births. In December, Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach revealed their son's name in Vogue, ten months after his birth. (The frustration of waiting for ten months quickly dissolved once we learned his name was Harold Ralph Gerwig Baumbach). Gerwig and Baumbach fall into the category of celebrities who hide their children's names for privacy reasons. This is the same group of stars who cover their children's faces with emojis on Instagram or eschew social media altogether. It's a form of going off the grid, allowing them to revel in private time with their baby before they are ready to share their news with the world. Nameless celebrity babiesHowever, there are stars who go further, choosing never to let us in on their children's names. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has two sons—ages two and four—whose names are unknown to the public, and he intends to keep it that way. In a 2015 interview on Live with Kelly and Michael, Gordon-Levitt explained, "[My son] hasn't made the choice to be in the public eye, and that's a choice I would like him to be able make when he's older, when he can think about these kinds of things and make that decision for himself." Never miss a parenting story with the TODAY Parenting newsletter! Sign up here. Pharrell Williams and his wife Helen welcomed triplets in 2017, never revealing the name or sex of any of the three (and their oldest son is named Rocket, so you know these are good names). A handful of notable starbaby births from the past few years, including the children of Claire Danes, Hugh Grant, and Rachel Weisz, were never followed up with name announcements. Trending stories,celebrity news and all the best of TODAY. Celebrities like Rachel McAdams and more recently, Anne Hathaway, abstained from the traditional representative-confirmed birth announcement, instead leaving it up to paparazzi photos to verify that they had given birth. The Daily Mail recently caught Anne Hathaway out and about with her family—plus an infant car seat—but the baby's sex, let alone name, is still anyone's guess. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have confirmed that their third child is another girl, but they've not yet revealed her name. When asked about it on The Today Show, Reynolds joked, "We're going to be original, and all the letters in her name are silent." It's hard to tell whether Lively and Reynolds are delaying the announcement for reasons of privacy or spectacle (although the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive), because the fact of the matter is, if you're a big enough celebrity, your child's name announcement is going to be news no matter when you announce it. Dramatic name announcementsSome celebrities capitalize on this fact, imposing a waiting period on the name for the drama of it all. The trick is to wait the perfect amount of time—enough so that the public gets antsy, but not so much that they move on to other celebrity gossip. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, old pros at this by now, waited about a week between each of their children's birth and name announcements. North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm's names were revealed via simple tweets, but that did the trick—the press and public went berserk. Beyoncé and Jay-Z waited even longer — a whole month — before announcing the names of their twins, Rumi and Sir. The Instagram post publicizing the names was pure drama, featuring a veiled Beyoncé in a ruffled dress, holding her twins in front of a floral arch overlooking the o cean. In other words, made for the media. Name announcement trendsDelayed announcements aren't just a trend among celebrities though. Parents around the country are waiting to reveal their babies' names, usually until after birth. It's the latest best-practice in baby naming, and we dole out this advice to expecting parents all the time. Before a baby is born, a name is merely a concept. Parents, coworkers, and anyone else you decide to share the name with are going to have opinions — often strong opinions — on the name you so carefully chose for your darling child. Maybe Cecilia was the meanest girl in school, or Ira was their mom's ex-boyfriend. People won't be afraid to tell you! But when that name is attached to a person (particularly a sweet, baby-faced person), it's harder to argue with. Of course, like celebrity moms and dads, there are parents who choose to reveal their child's name in a more dramatic fashion, usually with a perfectly-styled Instagram shot, or occasionally a name reveal party. For those who have the name locked-in (and won't be swayed by other's opinions), this can be an exciting undertaking before the baby is born. But a few days after birth seems to be the most common time to announce a child's name. The timing of a name announcement is a personal choice, and in a time when much of our private lives are lived publicly on the internet, it's understandable that more parents — celebrities or not — are choosing to delay the reveal.

| 20 Little Known Facts About Beyoncé's Relationship With Her Mom, Tina Knowles - TheThings Posted: 16 Jan 2020 01:34 PM PST Beyoncé is easily one of the most recognized people on the planet today. The powerhouse singer-songwriter has been in the public eye since the late 1990s, when she was the teenaged star of Destiny's Child (only one of the best-selling girl groups of all time!) Of course, most people these days know her for her stellar solo career and occasional lead acting roles. Most people even know at least a little bit about Beyoncé's family, specifically her marriage to rapper Jay-Z , daughter Blue Ivy Carter, and singer-songwriter sister, Solange. But one of the biggest people in Beyoncé's homelife isn't as well known, even though she raised the superstar in the first place! That would be Beyoncé's mom, Tina Lawson, a.k.a. Tina Knowles. And she's actually a celebrity in her own right, especially among the famous crowds her children run in. Turns out she and Beyoncé have an amazing relationship too. Here are 20 Little Known Facts About Beyoncé's Relationship With Her Mom, Tina Knowles. advertising 20 Beyoncé Gets Her Name From Her Mom A lot of people mistakenly assume that Beyoncé's name is French in origin, when in fact it has a more unique story. Her mother was born Celestine Ann Beyincé, and the family has explained multiple times that Beyoncé's moniker is in honor of Tina's maiden name. 19 They Share A Passion For Style Beyoncé is regarded as a style icon, but it turns out that her mother is a large part of why. Tina has had a long career as both a makeup artist and a professional stylist, and her Instagram is filled with photos that show her love of high fashion and artistic style. Plus, both mother and daughter are usually spotted dressed to the nines when in public. advertising 18 They Had A Fashion Line Together You may not have heard of it because it only lasted from 2006 to 2012, but The House of Deréon was a joint ready-to-wear fashion venture between Beyoncé and her mother. The clothing line's name was in honor of Beyoncé's maternal grandmother (and Tina's mother), Agnèz Deréon. 17 Beyoncé Gets Her Singing Ability From Her Mom Beyoncé is known all around the world for her singing career, but it turns out that the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Similar to what her daughter would do years later with Destiny's Child, Tina joined her own Motown-inspired singing group called the Veltones while still in high school. She's still been spotted singing on multiple occasions in recent years. advertising 16 Tina Designed The Costumes For Destiny's Child It turns out that Tina was directly involved with Destiny's Child — she was the group's stylist and designed their incredible outfits! For those familiar with the iconic group's ever-changing array of looks, Tina's work is very impressive. The members were always dressed to coordinate but never completely matched one another. 15 They Are Proud Of Their Creole Ancestry Both mother and daughter have talked proudly of their Louisiana Creole ancestry (and Beyoncé even has a song titled "Creole"). According to Kreol Magazine, they are also direct descendants of Joseph Broussard, a famous Canadian leader who organized local forces against the British in both King George's War and the French-Indian War. advertising 14 Tina Didn't Allow Her Daughter To Perform At Her Wedding When Tina remarried in 2015, many wondered if either of her daughters (or even her son-in-law Jay-Z) would be performing at her wedding. But the matriarch told People Magazine that it was her choice to prohibit them all from gracing the day with their performance chops. And with good reason — she wanted them to relax and enjoy the day! 13 Beyoncé Gets Along Well With Her Stepdad Tina's husband is actor Richard Lawson (Poltergeist, V, Dead Like Me), and so far it seems he gets along great with his stepdaughter. They've been photographed together on multiple occasions, and according to Essence, he even asked for both her and Solange's blessing prior to marrying their mom! advertising 12 Tina Taught Beyoncé The Value Of Art It's been revealed in more recent years that Tina is actually an established art collector and has accumulated a massive quantity of pieces (largely from Black American and African artists). She raised her daughters not just around it all, but also gave them regular art history lessons in order to understand its value. 11 Tina Does Her Daughter's Hair Tina has worked previously as a hair stylist (she even ran a famous beauty salon in Houston), though her clientele seems to be mostly focused on family members these days. She has taken to Instagram numerous times to show off her handiwork on Beyoncé's hair, including a recent post where she trimmed it. advertising 10 They Are Both Really Close With Kelly Rowland Kelly Rowland is easily the second-most famous member of Destiny's Child, and she has stayed in the spotlight over the years. She and Beyoncé have remained close, but what many people don't know is that she is also extremely close with Tina, who refers to her as another "daughter". 9 Tina Placed Both Her Daughters In Counseling To Deal With Beyoncé's Stardom In a 2018 interview with Maria Shriver, Tina revealed that she placed both of her daughters in counseling when Beyoncé first started to become famous. Doing so helped the girls learn to avoid jealousy and to better understand one another. Sounds like great parenting! advertising 8 They Like To Dress Alike Beyoncé and Tina definitely share a similar fashion sense and even look kind of alike. But they often take things further and dress to match each other. We can't get over how much they look like twin sisters! 7 They Both Have A Rocky Relationship With Matthew Knowles Beyoncé famously fired her father, Matthew Knowles, as her manager back in 2011 after accusing him of stealing money from her. In the same year, Tina's divorce from Matthew was finalized. Matthew has not really been in the picture since, although he did reunite briefly with his daughter and ex-wife at Beyoncé and Jay-Z's 2018 concert in Seattle. advertising 6 Tina Likes To Show The World How The 'Real' Beyoncé Is Like any good mom, Tina loves to talk about her daughter. But since her daughter is an international superstar, Tina also likes to show off to the world her offspring's more down-to-earth, "realness:. She frequently posts home videos of Beyoncé on Instagram that display a more relatable side of the singer. 5 Beyonce Sometimes Gets Annoyed With Her Mom Just as with any mother-daughter relationship, they don't get along all the time. Beyoncé's been documented calling her mom "really annoying" on multiple occasions. Most recently, Bey expressed her annoyance in this viral video where her mom is playing with her hair and repeatedly saying "au natural". advertising 4 They Are Both Friendly With The Obamas Beyoncé's friendship with the Obama family goes back to when Barack first became President, and it's been going strong ever since. But it turns out that Tina is friendly with the former First Family as well. She even watched a whole concert (with Beyoncé and Jay-Z) alongside Michelle Obama and her own two daughters, Sasha and Malia, 3 They Opened A Nonprofit Cosmetology School Together Beyoncé and Tina seem to share a love of giving back too, because they worked together to open a nonprofit cosmetology school in New York. The Beyoncé Cosmetology Center at Phoenix House offers training courses to both men and women, particularly those who are recovering drug addicts and looking for a new direction in life. advertising 2 Thanks To Tina, Beyoncé Is Step-Sisters With Actress Bianca Lawson Through Tina's marriage to Richard Lawson, Beyoncé gained a new sister in Lawson's daughter, actress Bianca Lawson! A successful TV actress with a long career, fans know her best from shows like Pretty Little Liars, The Secret Life of The American Teenager and Queen Sugar. 1 Tina Posted The Sweetest Birthday Message For Beyoncé For Beyoncé's 38th birthday, Tina wrote a very loving message on Instagram that's impossible to not admire. In a nutshell, she explained that she was grieving over the loss of her own mother when she found out she was pregnant with Beyoncé and realized she could feel that kind of love once more. Aww! advertising   |
| #MeToo Gave Women a Voice but Solutions Still Missing: Novelist Adichie - The New York Times Posted: 16 Jan 2020 07:58 AM PST  SANTIAGO — The #MeToo movement may have given women's rights a boost but the drive for gender equality still takes "two steps forward, and one step backwards," Nigerian novelist and activist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie told Reuters on Monday. Adichie, whose TED talk, 'We Should All Be Feminists,' inspired a Beyonce song and a Christian Dior T-shirt collection, said women may be making strides in the workplace and public life, but still bear the lion's share of domestic work. "The #MeToo movement in many parts of the world made it possible for women to start talking about things that women couldn't talk about, so for me that's progress of sorts," the author said on the sidelines of a conference in the Chilean capital Santiago. "Often, it feels as though it's two steps forward and one step backwards. We are talking about it but we haven't quite found the solutions yet." She said children were still often being raised with "ingrained gender roles." "The idea of domestic work, for example, who does it, is it something people should be paid for?" she said. "In many countries across the world, it's still thought of as something that women should do." "Because of that, women are doing domestic work at home and also working outside the home. Women are now doubly burdened and so what can seem like equality really isn't. In the future, we have to address that; otherwise, it will take women back even more." Adichie, whose award-winning novels - including Americanah, Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun - address issues of gender, race, identity and immigration, also took a swipe at U.S. President Donald Trump, saying his stricter approach to migration from Central and South America represented "cruelty for the sake of cruelty." "This administration has criminalized immigration in a way that I think is immoral," she said. "Many people want to come to the U.S. not because they are criminals or bad people but because they want better for themselves." "I don't think all countries should have open borders but what's happening in the U.S., where children are being treated in the most horrendous way, is quite unnecessary. It's cruelty for the sake of cruelty." Trump has made clamping down on migration a top priority of his current term in office and his 2020 re-election campaign. In July, the American Civil Liberties Union asked a judge to stop the Trump administration's practice of separating families https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-children/over-900-children-separated-at-u-s-border-since-policy-halted-aclu-idUSKCN1UP2KZ at the U.S.-Mexico border. Adichie was the keynote speaker at Chile's Future Congress, an event that brings together notable thinkers and scientists to debate solutions to issues like social inequality and climate change.
