We’ve really caught Sasha Fierce fever here in The Frisky offices. At least once a day, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” blares from one of our computers. And some of us plan to learn the choreography this weekend. After watching the “Saturday Night Live” skit with Beyonce and Justin Timberlake, we knew there had to be other parody videos. And we were right (we really love when that happens). There are videos of men and women of different sizes and ages “performing” the choreography from “Single Ladies.” We even found a video in which “Mexican Breakfast” video was redubbed with “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” As you know, Bob Fosse created the dance routine for “Mexican Breakfast” and Beyonce borrowed it for her video. After the jump check out the best of the rest of the parody videos. Keep reading »

Sweet Release: What’s In And Out The Week Of November 19th 2008
MUSIC
- Beyoncé I Am…Sasha Fierce
With this two disc release, Beyonce is all about fantasizing. She’s been slipping on her gling and calling herself Sasha Fierce. The first disc she’s still Beyonce, imagining what she’d do “If I Were A Boy.” Yet she’s got something to say to the gents, “If you like it, you should put a ring on it.” Hm, wonder if that’s the line she used on Jay-Z? But truly, the Queen B is going deeper on her record. Soft songs like “That’s Why You’re Beautiful” are atypical for the happenin’ hit maker, but they beautifully subtle, for once. As Sasha Fierce, on disc two, she throws the dance floor some bones with hot tracks like “Diva” and “Radio.” There’s something for everyone, from club bumpin’ “Say My Name”-esque booty jams to adult laments.

Face Off: Beyonce Vs. Sasha Fierce
At first, we thought Beyonce was a little crazy for developing her alter ego Sasha Fierce, but you know what? Sasha has really grown on us, especially since we’ve spent the last eight hours listening to I Am…Sasha Fierce on repeat. She’s sexy and outgoing and has the sickest body we’ve seen in a while. Beyonce and Sasha obviously have similarities, but when you really start to analyze their personas, you realize that they have quite a few differences. More after the jump. Keep reading »
What’s Up With Beyonce’s Bionic Hand?
Beyonce has been promoting her multiple-personality album I Am…Sasha Fierce, which will be released tomorrow, and in at least three recent performances — the World Music Awards, the MTV Europe Music Awards, and “Saturday Night Live” — she has worn a piece of jewelry that resembles the hand of a robot. Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice that the glove is basically a full-hand ring. At first, we thought Beyonce was wearing her special glove whenever she performed as Sasha Fierce, her sassier alter-ego, but this theory doesn’t pan out because she wore the hand when she performed “If I Were A Boy,” which is on the Beyonce part of the album. The accessory, which we’re calling a “gling” (glove ring), was designed by Lorraine Schwartz, who also created Beyonce’s $5-million, 18-carat diamond wedding ring. Seeing as Schwartz’s designs cost a pretty penny, maybe Beyonce is wearing the gling non-stop because she wants to get her money’s worth. Either that or she’s just one of the first to sport finger-surrounding rings — Vogue Italia featured several in a recent story, and Selma Blair wore one shaped like a snake this weekend.

Paul Rudd, Beyonce, & Justin Timberlake Show Up For The Gayest “SNL” Ever
Last night’s episode of “Saturday Night Live” was the gayest in the show’s history. From man-on-man kissing skits to Justin Timberlake appearing as a unitard-clad dancer in a Beyonce video shoot (see clip above), “SNL” seemed to be saying, “Gay community, we love you.” Now doesn’t JT have nice stems?
Then Beyonce went and put on this weird bionic hand glove and performed the HELL out of “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”, doing nearly the entire “Mexican Breakfast” dance routine. Clip of THAT after the jump… Keep reading »
Quote Of The Day: Beyonce Has A Smart Outlook On Marriage
“I really don’t believe that you will love the same thing when you’re 20 as you do at 30. So that was my rule: Before the age of 25, I would never get married…. I feel like you have to get to know yourself, know what you want, spend some time by yourself and be proud of who you are before you can share that with someone else.” — Beyonce in the December issue of Seventeen Keep reading »
Beyonce As Sasha Fierce As Wonder Woman?
Beyonce has had great success as a singer/songwriter and a modicum of success as an actress — She was great in “Dreamgirls,” but let’s not forget she didn’t win the Oscar. Yet, she’s always willing to heap more onto her plate. Now, she is in talks with DC Comics and Warner Bros. to play the first black Wonder Woman. Beyonce will bring a physical prowess and flexibility unrivaled by the other actresses linked to this role, Jessica Biel, Katie Holmes and Evangeline Lilly. But do we really need to see Beyonce mimic another woman or character? I don’t think so. I say, she should hone her acting skills by taking roles for stand-alone characters. After the jump, check out a list of Beyonce’s movies and the woman or character she impersonated. Keep reading »
Beyonce: Fashion-Forward Robot
At last night’s MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool, U.K., Beyonce’s alter-ego, Sasha Fierce, performed her song “If I Were A Boy” in a Gareth Pugh dress. Look closely, and you’ll notice that her left hand has some sort of robotic-looking metal covering on it. [I once saw a porn where the chick was wearing something very similar on her hand and it seemed kind of dangerous. -- Editor] While I certainly have no place to wear an outfit like this, it seems rather appropriate for an MTV awards show, and the dress is actually quite flattering on Beyonce’s curvy figure. I don’t think the outfit went well with the performance though. The song is slow and ballad-like, and when she stepped onstage wearing this futuristic ensemble, I was expecting a crazy techno version of it. Watch the video of her performance after the jump… Keep reading »
Get Nailed By Minx!
Conventional nail polish and nail art are things of the past now that Minx Nails have arrived. Minx Nails are the latest celebrity trend and have been spotted on the hands of Beyonce, Solange, Eve, Rihanna and Mariah Carey. “It’s the boom heard around the world,” said Minx Master Lisa Logan, who is Beyonce and Solange’s nail technician. Since Minx is a flexible film, not a polish, you can have virtually any design. I’m talking alligator skin, paisley, fishnet, pretty much anything creator Janice Jordan can think of. You can even show your partisanship by putting a Democrat donkey or a Republican elephant on your nail. Beyonce, Solange and Eve have been spotted with photos of Senator Barack Obama on their nails. And coming soon, you will be able to order customized nails from Minx. That means you can have nails that perfectly match those new python Jimmy Choos or even put a photo of your favorite furry friend. After the jump learn more about Minx Nails. Keep reading »
