Her wish was to dance with Beyonce and the supertar made it happened earlier this month in one of her concerts. The video below was uploaded on Beyonce’s YouTube page, and it showed part of the Taylon Davis’ story.
Taylon, who has an inoperable brain tumor, told her wish to the good folks at The Make-A-Wish Foundation. After some quick maneuvering by the Foundation, Taylon was invited to the Beyonce concert in Las Vegas where her dream to dance with the star came through.
“I am having so much fun,” Taylon told the camera, as she danced with the superstar in her wheelchair.
Beyonce and Taylon sang “Love on Top” and Destiny’s Child “Survivor” together.
Watch the video below.
Another first for Beyoncé. While singing in a recent concert, Beyoncé took a fans phone and engaged in a FaceTime chat.
“This is a first,” Mrs Knowles says, as she said “hello” to the person on the other end of the call.

It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it. Right Beyonce?
This is what happened when Beyonce went to work in Sao Paulo in Brazil a few days ago.

Beyoncé’s New Hair
Remember when Beyoncé got her hair stuck in a fan while performing onstage? Well apparently this is the outcome, the hair lost.
Ladies, don’t try this at home. Only certain people could pull this off. Exception: Beyoncé, Halle Berry.
And being the ultimate professional that she is, Beyoncé just kept right on singing.

Magna Carta Holy Grail Review
I’m not much of a fan of Jay Z so I didn’t start listening to his newest album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, with some sky-high expectations but, I know what he’s capable with his music so I expected something that I’d love to put on my iPod. I was quickly reminded why I’m not much of a fan.
The first song Holy Grail pretty much sets the bar for this album, songs with sick beats, good intros, and good/decent hooks. Jay Z’s lyrics are another story; his lyrics seem uninspired, his flow seems off, and no matter who he has with him in his songs (Justin Timberlake, Rick Ross, Beyonce, or Frank Ocean) the songs just fail to want me hit replay. The entire album seems less of a big money album and more like a quickly done mixtape.
It seems as if Jay Z, who can surround him with the best in the music industry, just sat down and said “this is good enough”. Perhaps Jay Z should really retire from music and focus fully on his business ventures, those seem like something he won’t be happy just at “good enough”
Twitter is buzzing with this new song from Beyoncé. She released the song earlier tonight on her website since then, everyone is talking about Bow Down.
Here’s a line from the new song: “I took my time to live my life but don’t think I’m just his little wife/ Don’t get it twisted, get it twisted/ This is my sh– Bow down, bitches.”
This is definitely not the regular pop and dance Beyoncé you’ve come accustomed to. Wanna hear something different from Mrs. Carter? Click play below.

It held its first event ever with a Jay-Z concert on September 28, 2012. So now you may ask “Why is JayZ’s name so inexplicably tied to the giant entertainment complex?”
Well, I’m glad you asked!
Facts You MayOr May Not Have Known About JayZ’s Ties to The Barclay Center
- When developer Bruce Ratner set out to buy the New Jersey Nets and build an arena for them in Brooklyn, he recruited Jay-Z, the hip-hop superstar who grew up in public housing a couple of miles from the site, to join his group of investors.
- Jay-Z owns a small financial stake in the company, although his contributions have dwarfed the $1 million he invested nine years ago. His influence on the project has been wildly disproportionate to his ownership stake — a scant one-fifteenth of one percent of the team.
- But he’s also been a creative diva: Jay-Z helped design the logo for the Brooklyn Nets and the Nets gear on sale (featuring a stark, urban black and white feel).
- He is owner of the 40-40 Club chain, one of which is in the arena.
- It was also his aesthetic force that helped define the half-million dollar Vault suite seating areas.
- He counseled arena executives on what kind of music to play during games. (“Less Jersey,” he urged, pushing niche artists like Santigold over old favorites like Bon Jovi.)
- And, Jay-Z played a week of opening concerts when the Barclay Center finally opened its doors, recycled as an album marking the occasion of the arrival of Brooklyn in the world of big commercial entertainment venues.
- Sponsorship salespeople for the Barclay trumpet how “hip and cool” JayZ and his wife, Beyoncé, have made the arena, and he along with the Nets basketball team have rewritten the rules on how to effectively deploy a strategic celebrity investor. h/t About.com

And, speaking of Mrs. Carter…
The OWN network has released a 30-second clip from the upcoming Beyonce interview on Oprah’s Next Chapter.
During the sit-down chat, Lady O asks Beyonce about everything … from Bey’s HBO documentary, her miscarriage, firing her dad as manager and the birth of Blue Ivy.
The 31-year-old entertainer is also asked whether she and hubby Jay-Z will have more kids.
Beyonce’s new documentary Life Is But A Dream premieres Saturday on HBO. ♦ h/t X17
The Guru of reality TV, Mark Burnette (Survivor, Shark Tank) and wife, Roma Downey (‘Touched By An Angel’ star.) have produced, what they are calling, the first reality show-styled depiction of the Scriptures entitled, ‘The Bible’ for The History Channel. Their approach was a depiction of the Bible in a more straightforward interpretation, rather than as an investigation or mystery. Touted as a project that will re-introduce The Good Book to a whole new generation, the five-part, 10-hour docu-drama will have live-action and state-of-the-art CGI. Airs March 3. ♦

She’s married with a kid, but she’s no Al Bundy. She is still one of the hottest Divas in the music industry. Do your thang Mrs. B!
The movie Warm Bodies, which came out this past Friday, looks cute. Sort of a Romeo/Juliet, star crossed lovers vibe with zombies. Finally a flick where someone has something nice to say about the undead!
“…how they can look themselves in a mirror knowing they are hurting, deliberately, the life expectancy and the quality of life for the people that they’re supposed to serve.”
Scratching my head on that one too. I think a better fight would be to get gym back in the schools. Remember P.E.? That class used to be a requirement to get promoted to the next grade. Give our fat-ass kids a ball, a nice shiny wooden floor and an hour to run around in each school day. Obesity problem, solved!
