Beyonce's First Pregnancy Reveal

... a buzz of "pregnant," "is she," "oh my god!," "totally pregnant," "I knew it!" and "damn!" comments filling the cavernous lobby, which instantly felt like it shrunk down to just the few feet of space the expectant pop superstar was inhabiting. A producer rushed over to the spot where myself and two other MTV News reporters were standing just as I was texting my boss to ask about protocol for breaking the news. "Nothing," she said as her headset buzzed with instructions. "Not yet.". The reason, of course, was because less than two hours later, Beyoncé would do the honors herself while performing "Love on Top." She told the crowd , "I want you to feel the love growing inside of me," and ended the performance by unbuttoning her sequin jacket and rubbing her barely there baby bump. On Wednesday (Feb. 1), I found out that  Jay Z and Bey are expecting again, just like everyone else did: through the Instagram post that quickly broke the Internet. Sure, I had to share it with the world this time, but ...

(Feb. 1) AP. We listened to Steve Bannon's words and this is what we heard. Steve Bannon's ideas diverge from decades of U. S. foreign policy. In an unusual break from precedent, President Trump's chief strategist now has a seat on the National Security Council, which has put him under a microscope — again. Bannon's role as the ex-news chief of Breitbart News — which critics say traffics in racism and anti-Semitism  — already made him a controversial pick for chief strategist. Some of the things we heard while listening to hours of audio recordings from his Breitbart News Daily radio show: 1.“We’re going to war in the South China Sea in five to 10 years, aren’t we?” 2.

Beyoncé’s Pregnancy Announcement Shows Once Again She’s The Queen Of Keeping A Secret

... as to her maternal status, but murmuring would quickly subside. Instead, Beyoncé took it upon herself to reveal her pregnancy during a live performance at the 2011 MTV Music Awards and, in the process, created one of the year’s most talked about TV moments. Beyonce performs during the Formation World Tour at Marlins Park on April 27, 2016, in Miami, Fla. (Frank Micelotta/Invision for Parkwood Entertainment/AP). One of the only off-scripted moments that ballooned from a tabloid sensation into a mainstream news topic was the infamous 2014 elevator surveillance video  TMZ posted showing her sister, Solange, attacking her husband Jay Z. In a rare move, the family released a statement acknowledging the video and “the great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident.” “The most important thing is that our family has worked through it,” they said. “Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred.”. Eventually, Beyoncé was able to reclaim the fallout from the elevator video — “Of course sometimes s— go down when it’s a billion dollars on an elevator,” she sang on a song released months after the ...

A Remix Of Rococo And Flemish Influences

... in the US, Beyoncé announced on Instagram that she’s pregnant – and with twins, no less. It was a bright spot on the otherwise grim landscape of the past week and a half in news. The photo is forward-thinking but with traces of historical art traditions from the past – conjuring an appealing remix of rococo excesses, Flemish portraiture and Latin American funerary symbols. In the frame Beyoncé is seen kneeling at an altar, cradling her belly with one hand while she keeps the other hand (which, interestingly, doesn’t show a wedding ring) posed slightly above. She is shrouded by a nearly sheer, tinted-tulle veil and is wearing satin blue underwear with a subtle, petaly ruffle. Since the medieval period, the Virgin Mary has often been depicted wearing shades of blue , a color used to signify virtue and authority. The bright, cerulean blue background reinforces this association and might even take it a step further. Behind her ...

A Reminder That Good Things Still Exist

... troubles and fear, while our minds have been occupied elsewhere, she’s been carrying us (and two Knowles-Carter fetuses) the whole time. The knowledge that Beyoncé—perhaps the most influential artist of our generation and one of the world’s best-known advocates for racial and gender justice—is procreating is a bit of much-needed solace at a time when many Americans are floundering in doubt about the fate of humanity. Democratic ideals may come and go, but two babies raised by the woman who gave us “boy, bye” will better humanity for generations to come. The sad truth is that based on the timing of Beyoncé’s announcement and how much she’s showing in the très campy photo, the forthcoming twins might have been conceived with an alternative president—and very different world prospects—in mind. Days before the election, Beyoncé and Jay Z held a hopeful, happy rally for Hillary Clinton. The twins ...
