March 8th, 2010Beyonce, Celebrities
Beyoncé continues to show the world she is not merely an international superstar but also a humanitarian. The singer, accompanied by her mom Tina Knowles, was in Brooklyn on Friday (March 5) for the grand opening of her cosmetology school in Brooklyn. Beyoncé opened the Beyoncé Cosmetology Center inside the Phoenix House, a residential substance abuse and recovery house for men and women. The school will serve as a place for residents to learn career skills in the field of cosmetology.
The idea for the center was spawned from a 2007 visit to the Phoenix House. According to Beyoncé, ” I wanted to speak to women that were struggling with heroin. I was so touched by the women’s stories and I wanted this to be something that I was a part of forever.” The singer and her mom have pledged to donate $100,000 of their own money ever year to the school so it can continue to thrive.
Beyoncé was even dubbed an official Brooklynite by “marriage and by moxie,” according to Borough President Marty Markowitz.

History making superstar -She Ain’t No D-I-V-A- Beyoncé Knowles appeared at the Macy’s Herald Square NYC to promote her debut fragrance, Heat. The singer held a meet & greet and signed some bottles of the fragrence for some lucky fans.
While that’s all wonderful and fabulous, this look certainly leaves a lot to be desired IMO. Love the hair, but the actual ensemble looks scattered. The accessories, dress, and shoes do not mesh well together. Enough of my rant, BGG would like to know…
IS THIS LOOK A STYLE FIZZLE OR SIZZLE??

Greetings BGG Readers! Soul here with the latest installment of Soul Wants To Know. Just some thoughts on the past week of all things celebrity and more.
So here we go…
1. Why in the hell is everyone acting like Pink is the world’s best performer? Anyone can get up on a trapeze and all. NO ONE CAN DO WHAT QUEEN B DOES!! I REPEAT NO ONE….
2. And speaking of the GRAMMYs, how in the hell did Beyoncé win 6 GRAMMYs and not album of the year? Taylor Swift’s live performance was absolutely the worse I’ve ever seen and if that’s any indication of her album Fearless, then the Grammy powers that be need to snatch that award back.
3. Ok, last thing about the GRAMMYs. I could tell by Keri Hilson’s dress she thought Read the rest of this entry »If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!

The original “We Are The World” track, written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones, is 25 years older with a new cause in sight.
