She says,</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s not time for that yet. But definitely there will be a time. I want to be a great mother, the kind of mother that I have. I want the same bond that I had with my mom and that would be enough for me. Adding,&#8221;The security and love I feel being in a relationship, a marriage, it&#8217;s absolutely incredible. Incredible.&#8221;</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">When are these two going to start a family? I hope Beyonce realizes that Jay&#8217;s clock is ticking &#8217;cause mixing up old sperm with a fresh egg can have damaging effects.<em><br />

The songstress is currently on tour in the U.K. and performed in Liverpool on Wednesday night. Although she stayed at the swanky Lowery Hotel in nearby Manchester, word is the “diva” shelled out some major bread for an extra hotel suite&#8211; just to store her clothes! A snitch tells <em>Britain&#8217;s Daily Mirror</em>,</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;She had seven suitcases, three hand-luggage bags and two boxes, all for her mammoth gig. Beyonce doesn&#8217;t do things by halves &#8211; especially where her performances<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span>are concerned. So in the cases there were apparently 14 dresses along with numerous pairs of shoes. Another box was full of make-up and the other had about 25 wigs in it.&#8221;</em></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Word is Beyonce&#8217;s manager/father Mathew Knowles aka PaPa Knowles might end up on Maury to take a paternity test. Nah, I&#8217;m just kidding, but this definitely would make for good television! Don&#8217;t you agree?! According to <em>TMZ</em>, PaPa Knowles&#8217; 30-something pretty young thing in L.A. claims that he’s the father of her unborn child which is due in December. SCAN-DA-LOUS! And shorty isn&#8217;t playing either &#8217;cause she&#8217;s hired top lawyer Neal Hersh to represent her. Unfortunately for Beyonce, the baby mama drama broke just hours before she scooped up Billboard magazine’s &#8220;Woman of The Year&#8221; Award in New York.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">I wonder how MaMa Knowles is feeling right now. It&#8217;s bad enough that Kelly is &#8220;allegedly&#8221; PaPa Knowles&#8217; love child and now this mess. Come to think of it, the Knowles&#8217; clan is really the modern day Jackson family, lol. When will dudes realize that you never slip up and knock up a jumpoff?! This is a perfect example of why niccas need to strap up!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Anywhoo, pop the top for pictures of Beyonce at Billboard&#8217;s annual Women in Music luncheon at NY&#8217;s Pierre Hotel yesterday.</p>

Apparently, diva Beyonce felt that Lindsay really didn&#8217;t need such a big room and believed that it should be given to her since she rolled in with her 70 deep entourage. Well, all Beyonce had to do was ask and Lindsay’s room was given to her immediately without any hesitation.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Must be nice to have it like that! <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">I wonder how Lindsay felt&#8230;haha!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Apparently, Lindsay wasn&#8217;t feeling the way she was treated that night. She tells <em>Britain&#8217;s Daily Mirror</em>,</p>
<blockquote>

<p style="text-align: center;">After Gayfish aka Kanye West ruined country singer Taylor Swift&#8217;s shine on MTV&#8217;s Video Music Awards last Sunday, Beyonce stepped in to save the day and gave the poor girl a chance to reclaim her moment; giving up her own moment to shine  as the Queen of the VMA&#8217;s after winning a mooman for &#8220;Best Video of the Year&#8221;. I know many others, including myself immediately assumed that Beyonce&#8217;s sentimental gesture was a PR stunt conspired by her daddy/manager PaPa Knowles aka Mathew Knowles. But,  according to PaPa Knowles, he didn&#8217;t tell Beyonce to do anything.  He insists that the whole thing was Beyonce&#8217;s idea and that although some may find it hard to believe; Beyonce is  genuinely a nice person. He tells Us magazine,</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t my decision to bring Taylor out. It was all Beyonce&#8217;s decision. I want to be be clear about that. My job is to execute and come up with some ideas, but ultimately that was Beyonce&#8217;s decision. Adding, &#8220;I can only say it was a proud night for me as a manager, but more importantly as a father. I&#8217;ve always said the thing that makes me most proud about Beyonce is not how many records she&#8217;s sold or how many plaques she has or how many awards; it&#8217;s that she&#8217;s a genuine, good person. I know it&#8217;s hard for people to believe that she can really be that nice of a person, but she really is.&#8221;<br />

<p style="text-align: center;">LeToya Luckett hasn’t been Destiny’s stepchild for years and after proving she had a chance at a solo career with her debut single and self-titled album which both hit No. 1 on the charts three years ago—LeToya doesn’t want to be labeled as the former member of Destiny’s Child anymore, she wants people to call her by her own name. She tells the <em>Columbus Dispatch</em>,</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>“I am now formerly the former member of Destiny’s Child. We are now LeToya Luckett. That’s what we’ve been, and that’s what we will continue to say.”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">When asked if she feels she’s officially ventured away from her Destiny’s Child past, she says.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>“I feel that way now, yes. I think that people are now starting to see who I am as an artist and get to know LeToya Luckett and not so much put all the focus on “former member of.”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">While it’s quite evident that LeToya’s relationship with former bandmates Beyonce and Kelly is nowhere near how it used to  during their early days, she insists that when they do run into each other &#8220;it&#8217;s very cordial&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Lady Love</strong></em> in stores NOW!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[JAY-Z &#038; BEYONCE&#8217;S BODYGUARD BEING INVESTIGATED!

Yesterday, we reported that Hip-hop’s royal couple Jay-Z and Beyonce had a major run-in with the paparazzi during what was supposed to be a romantic night in Croatia. Well, police in Croatia have launched an investigation after their bodyguard &#8220;Julius&#8221; got into a tussle with the paps. Although, footage of [...]]]></description>

<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-23182" title="jaybeyoncecrotia2" src="http://str8nyc.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/jaybeyoncecrotia2-499x243.jpg" mce_src="http://str8nyc.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/jaybeyoncecrotia2-499x243.jpg" alt="jaybeyoncecrotia2" width="499" height="243"/></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;"><a title="Jay-Z &amp; Beyonce Have run-in with Paparazzi" href="http://str8nyc.com/2009/08/19/jay-z-beyonce-have-a-run-in-with-the-paparazzi/" mce_href="http://str8nyc.com/2009/08/19/jay-z-beyonce-have-a-run-in-with-the-paparazzi/">Yesterday, we reported that Hip-hop’s royal couple Jay-Z and Beyonce had a major run-in with the paparazzi during what was supposed to be a romantic night in Croatia.</a> Well, police in Croatia have launched an investigation after their bodyguard &#8220;Julius&#8221; got into a tussle with the paps. Although, footage of the incident clearly shows Julius scrapping with the photogs and tossing a piece of equipment that was thrown at him into the sea; three photogs are now claiming that he threatened and physically attacked them. Not to mention, they&#8217;re also claiming that Julius damaged their property which was not shown on the video.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;">When will the paparazzi learn that unlike white celebs who bask their presence, black celebrities will get hood on their behinds way before they even get a chance to press the flash button?!</p>
