And by “plagiarize all over the place,” I mean blatantly rip off Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker in her ridiculous new music video. Seriously, check out that video above and tell me that Beyonce just landed herself right in the middle of a big coincidence. You can try, but I won’t believe you.
Here’s what the original choreographer had to say about Beyonce’s dance moves:
“I didn’t know anything about this. I’m not mad, but this is plagiarism. This is stealing. They took pieces from Achterland and Rosas danst Rosas. … It’s a bit rude, I must say. … What’s rude about it is that they don’t even bother about hiding it. They seem to think they could do it because it’s a famous work. … Am I honored? Look, I’ve seen local school kids doing this. That’s a lot more beautiful.”
I haven’t had any personal interest in Beyonce since her Destiny’s Child days, and let me just say that is not the Beyonce that I pretended to know. The Beyonce I pretended to know would have never stolen from another artist like this, she’d just be like “giiiiirl, I don’t do that shit, I just bounce around in clubs and chill in monochromatic rooms, you know that!”
If it isn’t completely obvious, I am thrilled for Paul McCartney and 51-year-old (?!?!) bride Nancy Shevell. They were married yesterday, on what would have been John Lennon’s 71st birthday. The bride wore a tailored dress designed by Stella McCartney.
Since then, the spryest Beatle has been partying nonstop! According to CBS, the newlyweds’ reception, held at the couple’s home, bumped late into the night (Kate Moss was reportedly the last person to leave). The police even stopped by to investigate a noise complaint!
And! Here is WHAT THEY SERVED AT THE RECEPTION:
- An arugula and basil salad
- Goat cheese polenta
- A vegan cake
- A “traditional” (read: “normal” and “delicious”) cake
The tour, dubbed the “On The Run” tour, a clear homage to his famed “Band on the Run” period in the 70s, will start in Abu Dhabi and move on to Paris, Russia, Italy and London, finish in his hometown of Liverpool.
“My audiences seem to get better each year and the band and I love the buzz and feedback that they give us,” he said in the statement. “I can’t wait to see you all for some wild nights of rock n’ roll and partying.”
Strap yourselves in, folks! Well, in a year or so, anyway. Don’t jump the gun quite yet. From People:
“I think we want to figure out where he’s going to play an where we’re going to live [first],” Kardashian, 30, told Ryan Seacrest Friday on his KIIS-FM radio show of her plans to start a family with husband Kris Humphries, who is unsure which basketball team he’ll play for while the NBA lockout is in effect.
But, she added cryptically, they will be thinking about the prospected date soon: “Give us a year.”
Hm. Is the world quite ready for a Kim Kardashian baby? Wait, no, let me back that up – is the world quite ready for a Kim Kardashian pregnancy? I mean, how would that even work? Would Kim carry the child herself, or, because it’s quite harder on the body than, say, psoriasis, hire a surrogate mom to do the dirty work? Would she film the birth in either case? Would she film it with Ray-J? Consider my mind BLOWN.
I’m not even going to spend time criticizing Christina‘s outfit, because it’s not even worth it. The girl has absolutely no regard for choosing flattering outfits, or, an idea that I’m finding is probably more accurate, has stylists that like to make her the butt of jokes on the interwebs. And that hair? Good Lord, son.
The rest of the folks in attendance, folks like sister LaToya, Michael’s kids, Ne-Yo, Leona Lewis, Jamie Foxx and his gigantic penis, Gladys Knight, and Smokey Robinson, just to name a few, all looked pretty great and pretty classy. Jackson’s daughter, Paris, even rocked the ‘Thriller’ jacket, which, to me, is pretty fecking wesome. But Christina Aguilera? Ugh, forget it guys. This woman is over.
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
I am not offended that Rosie has a fear or anxiety of LP. I feel that when someone knows very little about things and or people they tend to be anxious. Think about it if you had never been around someone...
