Attention Grey’s fans! Just a friendly reminder that Grey’s Anatomy is brand new tonight. Brand new. Time to get the details on Izzy’s cancer. What the hell is Derek doing? What’s going to happen with Mark? Christina and that red-head guy? Let’s find out. I’ll have quotes after…if there’s anything exciting.

Last night was my third stop on Britney’s circus tour (home in NY) and I’m thinking this show just gets better and better every time you see it. Britney’s smiling a lot more. I don’t know whether it’s me just paying attention to detail or if the later shows of a concert are better than the first, but something is just better. Oh and apparently Madonna was in the audience last night which caused people to lose their shit. This random girl and I made a $5 bet about Madonna taking the stage (I said Madonna wouldn’t and the girl said she would). Madonna did not take the stage. Where’s my money? Whatever, it’s still not enough for a bottle of water. Crazy.

As for pictures, I decided not to bring a camera. It was my sister’s 23rd birthday and I just wanted to make sure she was having the best time ever. We definitely got the Pussycat Dolls and Britney’s attention (if you screamed and looked as crazy as we did, you would too). I’m pretty confident this was the best concert she’s ever been to. She loved it. Happy B-day Z. Like a circuss. Mission accomplished.

-Beyonce in the April 2009 issue of Ebony. I just had to share this specific quote because it’s scary how much I agree with it.

At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don’t really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And its not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away.

At the airport today I was suckered into buying the April 2009 issue of Ebony magazine. And by “suckered into buying” I really mean that I saw Beyonce on the cover of this magazine with the title “Beyoncevoled…An intimate portrait of the superstar you may not know.” Seriously, you wouldn’t buy it? Anyway, I loved the interview and for that reason I’m typing it all up. If you get a chance, try to check out the actual magazine because it’s a great read with some awesome pictures!

On performing for the Obama’s first dance: I was completely anxious and honored. Honestly I’ve watched everyday because I just want to relive the moment. It was one of the most spectacular moments of my life.I was very misty-eyed. What was interesting was the moment after. As I was breaking down [crying], they told me, ‘All right, get off the stage.’ And I was literally bawling. They were like, ‘Come on. Get yourself together.’

Who is the real Beyonce?: I’m a daughter, I’m a friend, I’m a wife, I’m a sister. All those things first. I’m an artist. I’m a businesswoman. I’m very sensitive and I’m also very strong. I’m so many things. I’m multifaceted. I’m a lover. I’m inspired by love. I make decisions from the heart.

On favoring projects that provide personal growth: If it doesn’t, I don’t do it. I turn down million-dollar offers all the time because it’s something that does not feel true for what I’m trying to say. I have to be passionate about it. Love inspires and growth inspires me. If it is not going to be iconic, something I can love 10 years from now, I’ve learned I should not waste my time with it.

On family: In every family, you have your disagreements, but ultimately we love eachother and we would do anything for eachother.

On Jay Z and business: Jay doesn’t get involved in my business and I don’t get involved in his. He was very successful before I met him and I was very successful before I met him. So we have so much respect for each other, and respect for each other artistically. We are very close friends, and I believe he is the ultimate artist and he has the same feelings for me.

On being a wife: I don’t know how to talk about it because I don’t like to talk about it. But I ahve a great example of a great wife, and that’s my mother. And I have great friends around me that have been married, so I’m lucky to have really good examples. And a great husband.

On being messy: I’m a little messy. Whenever I’m out in public, I have to be put together. When I get home, I rebel against it and I don’t want to take care of anything. I drop it. I’m relaxed. I don’t have any shoes on. No makeup. My shoes are left at the door. My purse is in the kitchen. I think that is the most difficult thing for him [Jay Z]. He’s very, very organized. I’m extremely organized when I’m working, and I work so much that when I get home I don’t want to think about anything.

On being a perfectionist: I think this is just who I am. My parents and the drive they have, it’s kind of worn off on me. When I was a kid, I’ve always been a bit of a perfectionist. That’s just my personality, because I love what I do.

On mistakes and safety (I love this one): Of course I’ve made mistakes. But I’d rather take chances than be safe. Simplicity is my word for 2009. But safety is my worst enemy.

Is it just me or do you love Beyonce a little bit more after reading that interview? Family values. Humility. Honesty. Fierce-ness. Awesomeness. Thanks Ebony!

First thing’s first. Kelly Clarkson’s highly-anticipated new album All I Ever Wanted was released today. I’m guessing it was highly-anticipated because it’s supposed to be more like her Breakaway album and less like her My December album… If you went “huh??” to My December, you just proved my point (even though I liked the album…it was just poorly promoted).  Anyway, Kelly is also on the cover of the April 2009 issue of Blender magazine and here are some snippets. The subject of this post is pretty clear. You’ve been warned.

On peeing in the shower: Anybody who says they don’t is lying.

On walking around naked: I’m the kinda person who just doesn’t like clothes.

On checking the tissue after blowing her nose: I mean, if you have a cold, you have to check, to see how sick you are.

Why she thinks people like her: The thing with me, and my audience in particular is, people look at me like a sister or a daughter. It’s not like people look at me as unattainable, some kind of star like that. People love the ‘real’ factor that’s involved, I think.

On talking being able to talk about anything: I do not lie. Ever. I will tell my girlfriend if she looks fat in her jeans… When you don’t make yourself clear or heard, that’s where trouble starts. And that’s something I learned as a child. No one is going to know what you feel unless you tell them.

(She’s definitely right about the ‘real’ factor. I love this girl.)

I’m left with no shoulder
But everybody wants to lean on me
I guess I’m their soldier
Well, who’s gonna be mine?

What can bring me back to life?
A simple word, a gesture
Someone to say you’re beautiful
Come find this buried treasure
With eyes lead to a pot of gold

I’ve given too much of myself
And now it’s driving me crazy
I’m crying out for help
Sometimes I wish someone would just come here
And save me, save me from myself

Beyonce - Save The Hero

I wasn’t going to say anything (on here) just because I didn’t want it to be Britney-bashing, but this is more funny than bashful. Britney Spears had an apparent wardrobe malfunction at the Tampa show last night that caused her to say “my pussy was hanging out” while she was being lowered under the stage. That’s right. Everyone at the show got to hear. There’s a video and it’s actually really funny and everyone started laughing. I don’t think Britney knew everyone would hear. Oh well!  The pictures aren’t really revealing so that’s good. It’s just the comment that has got everyone’s attention. Classic Brit, classic. Watch below!

Finally there’s a date for when Britney’s new video for If You Seek Amy is being released. It will be this Thursday March 12 at 11am EST and the best place to go view it first is most likely BritneySpears.com. Finally! I can’t wait to see it! Hopefully it’s not censored mush. If there’s any more specific details, you know I’ll post it.

On another note, I see Britney for the third (and last) time this Wednesday. Bitter sweet.

Let’s talk about Beyonce and what’s coming up with her. To your right is a picture of Beyonce on the cover of a magazine called Los Angeles Confidential. I’ve never heard of the magazine but it had a picture of Beyonce I haven’t seen before so everyone wins.

The “I Am… Sasha Fierce” album: I am obsessed with Beyonce’s new album (which has been out since this past November). Seriously, what a range this girl has. While I love the upbeat songs like Single Ladies and Diva, I think the ballads hit home for me…all of them. Her voice just sounds so beautiful. This is the kind of music that reminds me why exactly I’m paying for it in the first place. Beyonce, keep this up and you’ll go down as a legend (you know, more than you already are). Get on this album. It’s never too late.

Beyonce’s “I Am… Tour”: Beyonce starts her next world tour later this month in Canada. As of right now, it’s mostly a European tour with some dates in Canada and 1 in the United States (Seattle, WA on April 1, 2009 and New Orleans, LA on July 3-5). I’m not exactly sure why only Seattle and New Orleans at the moment, but hopefully more U.S. tour dates will be released soon (they must be). She is having VIP packages for most of the tour where you can meet her and even have a ticket on the stage (I have to find a way to get to one of these concerts…lol).

I met Beyonce?: So I was going to bring this up eventually. Basically I paid my way to meet Beyonce through one of her VIP packages (during her Beyonce experience tour in 2007…It was the NYC show on August 5th, 2007…how could I possibly forget?). Well anyway, it was a really short meet and greet where we got to shake hands with her and take a picture with her. I took my friend with me and let’s just say we were about to faint when we saw her. We were wearing our Beyonce shirts and Beyonce said to us, “you look cute in your t-shirts.” That’s the reason for the big smile to your right…What an amazing moment in time. BTW, she looked like a doll. After this we had tickets within the first 3 rows (it may have been front..I forget). Beyonce was of course excellent in concert and I ended up going to see her again in Atlantic City… I took my mom to that one and she loved it. I love seeing the small differences (if any) between different shows… I know that may make me a freak in some eyes…but I’d rather be called a freak and get to see Beyonce perform

Beyonce’s new movie “Obsessed”: Have you seen the trailers for Beyonce’s next movie? It’s called Obsessed and hits theatres on April 24. It’s a different type of movie where she plays a girlfriend of a guy who seemed to have a crazy stalker. The previews actually look really exciting…I’m not sure if it’s the movie or Beyonce in the movie…Something tells me it’s the latter…Regardless, can’t wait to see B in this one. April 24. Add it to the calendar.

Beyonce’s never been in a relationship before?: Back to the new magazine Beyonce’s on the cover of above…In the magazine she talks about writing songs about dealing with heartache and not having someone who does the same for her. She also claims that she has never had a breakup and that Jay Z is her first relationship. Ummm I’m not really sure what to think or say, but let’s say it was true. That’d be really interesting. I mean it’s really not a big deal if she’s been in relationships before so there’s no sense in lying about something like that…is there? Who knows. Whatevs, I still love ya.

Okay so that was a lot of fun to write. Guess what album I’m listening to at the moment? That’s right, I Am…Sasha Fierce! Fierce indeed.

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

Miley Cyrus - The Climb

There’s a weak link in every chain. And it’s just a matter of time before this one snaps.

-Gossip Girl

We’re adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?

-Grey’s Anatomy

You had your turn and now you gonna learn, what it really feels like to miss me.

Beyonce - Single Ladies

Relationships, no matter how good, are inevitibly a series of compromises. But how much of ourselves should we be  willing to sacrifice for the other person before we stop being ourselves? In a relationship, when does the art of compromise…become compromising.
