Rush Limbaugh Thinks Beyoncé’s Song “Bow Down” Is About Submitting To Jay-Z
- Today in Things Rush Limbaugh Grossly Misunderstands About America in 2013: he raved on his show about how Beyoncé’s new song “Bow Down” is an ode to wifely submission, praising her for doing a “total 180,” marrying her “rich” husband Jay-Z and “she now understands it’s worth it to bow down.” Now, had this four-times-married conservative shock jock actually listened to the song, he would know that “Bow Down” is not about wifely submission at all and is actually about jealous girls. Or that the title is not called “Bow Down Bitches.” [Think Progress]
Queen Bey Drops New Song “Bow Down”
Be More Like Beyonce
Kathleen Hanna says Beyonce doesn't sit around reading mean comments. Read More »
Somebody pissed off Beyoncé! She’s dropped a new song called “Bow Down” (mashed up with another song “I Been On”) and it’s the fiercest we’ve ever seen from Sasha Fierce. You will treat me with respect, she is saying, and seems to be speaking to other women who judge her for her choices:
I know when you were little girls / you dreamt of being in my world / don’t forget it, don’t forget it / respect that / Bow down bitches / I took some time to live my life / But don’t think I’m just his little wife / Don’t get it twisted, get it twisted / this is my shit / Bow down, bitches
The art for “Bow Down” seems to be a picture of young Beyoncé standing with dozens of (dance?) trophies and she sings about “H Town,” leading me to wonder if the song is directed to girls she grew up with back in her hometown of Houston, Texas. You can listen to “Bow Down”/”I Been On” after the jump: Keep reading »

Even for those who don’t like President Barack Obama’s politics, it’s hard to not admire the love that he and First Lady Michelle Obama share.
The First Couple sat down in separate interviews for Vogue magazine’s April issue — which the FLOTUS fronts in a stunning Reed Krakoff dress — and shared how their marriage has made them better people.
“Michelle’s like Beyoncé in that song,” President Obama said. “‘Let me upgrade ya!’ She upgraded me.” Read more…

Crazy Rumor: Beyonce Is Solange Knowles’ Mother, Not Her Sister
There are some crazy rumors popping up that Beyonce Knowles is actually a mother to Solange and NOT her sister! WTF, right?!?
Could you even imagine that? Firstly, let’s look at the facts, shall we? According to Wikipedia, Beyonce was born on September 4, 1981. Wikipedia also reports that Solange was born on June 24, 1986. So, for Bey to technically be Solange’s mother, she would’ve had to have had her when she was a mere five-years-old. Interesting. Read more …
Morrissey Hangs With McDreamy, Berates Beyonce, Snubs Marriage
Oh Morrissey! He’s had such a busy weekend! On Friday, “The Boy With a Thorn In His Side” took to the stage at Los Angeles’ Staples Center and took Beyonce to task for purchasing bags made out of rhinoceros. Beyonce’s choice of bags, claimed Moz, are responsible for the extinction of the rhinoceros. Mmkay!
Another complete Morrissey mindfuck? His Friday show was introduced by Patrick “McDreamy” Dempsey. Because, yes, totally — friends that coif together, stay together.
But wait! There’s more!
Anne Hathaway Apologizes For Her Valentino Oscar Snub
Valentino Couture S/S 2013
All the looks from the runway show, including the one Anne snubbed. 48 Photos »
- Anne Hathaway owed someone an apology regarding her appearance on Oscar night (and no, that “someone” isn’t all of us after we were forced to stare at what appeared to be her nipples all evening). You see, Anne was supposed to wear a couture dress by Valentino, but she flipped out and grabbed that Prada at the last minute after catching wind that Amanda Seyfried was wearing a similar dress. The house of Valentino even announced beforehand that Anne would be wearing Valentino… and then she didn’t. Disappointment abounds! Here’s the Best Supporting Actress winner’s public apology. [Huffington Post]
- Noooooo! Calvin Klein’s erstwhile boytoy/talking monkey (such a cool party trick) Nick Gruber is no longer writing a tell-all about his two-year relationship with the designer. Despite a bidding war and what Gruber describes as “a ton of interest” in the memoir, the model said of the deal, “I just did not want to hurt him or others. I am a good person, not a mean person.” I suspect bribery. [The Cut]
- Carine Roitfeld and “Mob Wives” are seemingly on opposing ends of the class spectrum, but leave it to irreverent Carine to go where no upmarket fashion editor has gone before. The former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief spent a day shooting with Big Ang and the gang for the second issue of CR Fashion Book and loved every trashy minute of it. [Styleite]
- In which Fashion Week is hilariously, accurately compared to “The Hunger Games” in brilliant detail. [Lucky]
