Have you guys seen the trailer for the movie, “The Longshots?” Well, if you haven’t, you should check it out! Beyoncé’s picture is featured next to a picture of Tyra Banks and is used as a football target.

The movie is based on the true story of Jasmine Plummer who became the first female to play in the Pop Warner football tournament at the age of eleven. The movie is set for release on August 22nd. It looks like a good movie, so maybe I’ll go and see it. What about you guys? Does it seem interesting at all?

Wow! It is being reported that Beyoncé Knowles, will earn £500,000, approximately $984,290.79 in U.S. currency, for a single performance at a Bermuda music festival. She’ll be joining fellow R&B star, Alicia Keys, and British reggae group, UB40. Bey will receive half of the pay for appearing at the event and the other half is for covering any expenses that she may have during her stay in Bermuda.

A producer of the music festival, Rock Newman, has said that Beyoncé’s appearance will help boost recognition of Bermuda.

“This event will garner more worldwide attention for Bermuda than anything that has ever happened here. Folks around the world are going to say ‘Bermuda has got it going on!’”

 Solange Knowles, younger sister of Beyoncé will also perform at the festival as well as various comedians and entertainment acts.

Bey has already attended the festival three times before and even once with Destiny’s Child.  The event will be held on July 3, 4, and 5 of 2009. It should be exciting to see her there again!

Here’s a “mash up” of some of Beyoncé’s performances of “Crazy in Love.” I really liked it. The fan obviously put a lot of time into it (don’t think I could put this much time into a mash up vid…). Anyway, it was fun to see just how consistent she is from one performance to another. Watch it here:

Bono and Beyoncé co-wrote the song, “American Prayer” and performed it together in South Africa. Bono said that it was inspired by how judgmental even the most religious people can be. The point was to eliminate the stigma surrounding being HIV positive. It’s a great performance and an important song. So glad she was a part of it:

Beyoncé sang “Learn to be Lonely” from the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack at the 2005 Academy Awards (Oscars). I thought that some parts of the song sounded better than others but she looked positively stunning (the eye make-up could have been toned down a bit, though).

I can’t believe that I don’t have this video up on here already but while I was scouring the internet looking for Beyoncé stuff, I spotted it and decided to post it today. The hair, the clothes, the beat… it’s all funky. I love it!

Beyoncé was not the one in the spotlight this weekend. Her husband, Jay-Z, performed at England’s Glastonbury Festival and she stood on the sidelines and watched Hova on the Pyramid stage. It certainly didn’t look like the warmest day but she managed to still look cute as she kept warm

Famous producer, Rodney Jenkins, was interviewed recently and asked about Beyoncé’s third album. He said that all of her songs are “big sounding” and have an R&B meets pop style. After the unfinished track “Beautiful Nightmare” was released and then hearing Rodney comment on her album, I’m very curious as to what this album will sound like. It’s so exciting! The album is expected be released in November, so hopefully we won’t have to wait too long.

Since so many of you talked about Beyoncé’s green dress, I thought I would put up another look for us all to discuss, debate and rate.  Above, Bey is wearing the blue dress from her appearance on the red carpet at this year’s 50th Grammy Awards. 

Okay, again, I’m not really in love with this dress or the hair for that matter.  I think she looks great (and her body is slammin’) but I think the gray/silver part of this dress does nothing for her.  I’m sure you will tell me what you think
