While performing “Halo” in front of a sold out crowd in London on Monday, Sasha Fierce did the unthinkable. She risked the life of her weave and crowd-surfed. WTF? [Buzzfeed]

I tried to hate on this video, but I can’t! It’s just hot! At first I was like, yo, B, can you do something other than stand in front of a camera and gyrate like there’s no tomorrow? And, hey, Lady Gaga, can you just, like, disappear off my laptop screen for a moment? But then the beat got to me, and I fell under the spell of Beyonce and Lady Gaga‘s “Video Phone,” directed by Hype Williams, who makes great everything he lenses. It’s part “Reservoir Dogs,” part Bettie Page, and there’s some brandishing of weapons. What do you think: love it or leave it?

• “Telephone,” the Lady Gaga and Beyonce duet off Gaga’s Fame Monster album, has hit the internet. [YouTube]—I really like it, but it sounds more like Beyonce’s song than Gaga’s.
• Did you know Jimi Hendrix had a sex tape? Well, here are 16 others you might not have seen. [Maxim.com]
• Some movies like “The Wrestler” have such ambiguous endings, but now the mystery is solved. [College Humor]

Egyptologist Zahi Hawass is known for his outbursts. He reportedly speaks in Arabic while attending dinner events and other social gatherings so he can insult non-Egyptians, who he assumes don’t understand his language. And well-known celebrities aren’t off-limits. Earlier this week, Beyonce toured the Giza pyramids with Hawass, who reportedly became annoyed with her attitude because she didn’t show the pyramids the respect he thinks they deserve.

Calling all cyborgs. Remember that metal glove Beyonce wore? The look may become as ubiquitous as thigh-high boots. Designer Lorraine Schwartz created the glove for the singer’s I Am ... Sasha Fierce album. “She wanted something a little bit harder and robotic,” says Schwartz. To get the “superhero” look, the jeweler made a wax mold of Beyonce’s hand, and then cast the hand-piece in lightweight titanium. Schwartz reports she’s since seen regular folk wearing knock-offs. Does this mean we’ll all be fembots soon? [NYMag.com]

Beyonce has postponed an Oct. 25 performance in Malaysia after Muslim conservatives in that country accused her show of being “immoral.” The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, Malaysia’s largest opposition group, has called for the cancellation of the show because they say it would promote “Western sexy performances.” A statement released by Marctensia entertainment company says the decision to postpone was made solely by Beyonce. In 2007, she canceled a planned performance after protest threats from the Islamic opposition party, but said at the time it was a result of scheduling conflicts. Female performers in Malaysia are required by law to cover up from the shoulders to the knees, without any visible cleavage. And, last month, Marctensia said Beyonce and others involved had “come to an amicable understanding” about her performance costumes. (But the postponement suggests this wasn’t true.) If the problem here is Beyonce’s bedazzled leotards, we can’t wait to see the more conservative, body-covering versions she comes up with. Can Sasha be Fierce without showing off her legs, booty, and cleavage?

Yesterday, I was having a bit of a Beyonce moment. For about two hours I watched nearly every video she has on her YouTube channel. And while I enjoyed my trip down Beyonce Memory Lane, especially the dance sequence at the end of “Get Me Bodied,” I couldn’t help but wonder what her foreplay with Jay-Z must be like. You’re probably thinking: “How did we get from Beyonce’s videos to her having sex with her husband?” Hold on, there’s a connection.

I understand this is the part where I’m supposed to write some sort of commentary, but I have nothing to say other than: Watch this video. [Urlesque]

Beyonce turned a few heads when she released her album last year under her alter ego, Sasha Fierce. But Jennifer Lopez is turning even more heads now because people are asking themselves: “WTF, didn’t Bey do this last year?” J.Lo has released her new single, “Fresh Out the Oven,” under the alias “Lola,” which is Marc Anthony’s pet name for her. And Lola, similar to Sasha, has her own website too. The song really isn’t original; it’s Jennifer’s typical dance music. While I could do without rapper Pitbull on it, the song itself is kind of catchy and in step with most pop music out now—it’s Autotuned within an inch of its life, but J.Lo still sounds like she’s screeching when hitting the high notes. I’m happy Jennifer is working again because those twins of hers have to eat.

I’m at a loss for words and am kind of jealous of this guy. He must be able to dislocate his butt or something because most women can’t move like that.

Mathew Knowles, who manages Beyonce and is her and Solange‘s father, has allegedly fathered a child with a woman named Alexsandra Wright, according to a paternity lawsuit filed by Wright in L.A. Superior Court. Wright is reportedly in her late 30s and is six months pregnant. She is being represented by Neal Hersh, who’s also busy working on Lamar Odom‘s prenup negotiations with Khloe Kardashian. [TMZ]

Although Knowles has been married to wife Tina since 1980, this isn’t the first child he’s been rumored to have fathered out of wedlock. Back in April, the rumor mill was churning with the “news” that Kelly Rowland was actually the daughter of Knowles from an extra-marital affair.

Let the style wars begin: Beyonce was the artist being honored at this Billboard Women In Music Awards brunch, but is it just us or did Gaga slightly overshadow her on the red carpet? Then again, we'd never suspect the two women were dressed for the same event (except, of course, for the "Billboard" backdrop), especially given the fact that this was essentially, like, a breakfast. Thoughts anyone?

I know, I know. If you see one more send-up of Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” you’re going to slit your wrists. After seeing the versions done by football players on “Glee,” Justin Timberlake on “SNL,” and indie rockers Pomplamoose, what else could possibly be done to add new intrigue to this poor, copycatted tune?  Well, someone very dear to my theatre-loving heart is rumored to be having a go at the ditty. In perhaps the best “Sex and the City 2” spoiler news ever, Us Weekly reports that Ms. Liza Minnelli herself will be performing the song in a wedding scene during the film. OK … I’m so giddy I forgot to wonder who is getting married. I seriously can’t wait to see Liza turn that bitch out. I wonder if she’ll do it in full Fosse getup? [MSN]

Being that I love girly indie rock as much as I love booty-shakin’ pop, it’s no surprise that I kind of am majorly hearting this cover of Beyoncé‘s “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” by some band called Pomplamoose. [via BuzzFeed]

Those of you who watched “Glee” last night got a special treat—the McKinley High School football team doing the iconic Beyoncé “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” dance. Scoot to minute 2:30 to check it out.

While we thought it was totally ridiculous when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift during the VMAs, we had to admit that he kind of had a point—the “Single Ladies” video is one of the best of all time, and it’s inspired many a spoof and imitation. Here are some of the best.

So that he/she can perform Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” More videos as adorable as this one, here.

Poor Beyoncé is having a rough week! First, everyone thought she was involved in some kind of conspiracy with Kanye West and Taylor Swift at the VMAs. Now Abercrombie & Fitch is suing to stop the diva from naming her forthcoming fragrance “Sasha Fierce,” for which Beyoncé filed a letter of intent with the U.S. Patent office back in September. But as it turns out, that lingering stink on your clothes the last time you got within a 60-foot radius of an Abercrombie & Fitch store could have been one of their men’s colognes called “Fierce.” (Can you see where this is going?) A&F filed its lawsuit yesterday, saying Beyoncé has ignored their cease-and-desist letter and has proceeded to develop “Sasha Fierce.” Methinks this lawsuit is just an A&F publicity stunt though, since no one would seriously wander into the temple of suburban preppydom searching for Sasha Fierce’s perfume. Still, one wonders if Beyoncé will buckle and change the name of her parfum to something else? “Bootylicious,” perhaps? [WWD]

The MTV Video Music Awards were on for less than 30 minutes when ... CONTROVERSY. The first category of the night was “Best Female Video,” and Taylor Swift won for “You Belong With Me” over Beyonce‘s “Single Ladies” and Lady Gaga‘s “Poker Face.” Taylor started giving her “I’m just a country singer” acceptance speech, when Kanye West entered from stage left. He grabbed the mic out of Taylor’s hands and said, “I congratulate you Taylor, but I gotta say ... Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.”
