Flawless Remix: Beyonce Raps About Elevator Incident, Maybe Hints at Jay-Z Divorce

Did fuel just get added to the  Beyonce-Jay Z divorce fire? From Beyonce herself?!? Just prior to midnight on yesterday, Queen Bey and Nicki Minaj released a remix of the popular female empowerment tune “Flawless.” And there’s no doubt that Beyonce is referencing the infamous elevator incident from May in which sister Solange attacked Jay-Z at the Standard Hotel when she sings: Beyonce feat. Nicki Minaj – “Flawless” “We escalate, up in this b–ch like elevators/ Of course sometimes s–t go down when there’s a billion dollars on an elevator.” But a theory is also making its way around the Internet that goes like this: Various outlets have estimated the combined net worth of Beyonce and Jay-Z’s net to be approximately $1 billion. So could Beyonce be implying there’s that much money on the line and the elevator argument had something to do with the dwindling state of this famous marriage? It’s just a theory, but a recent report stated Beyonce and Jay-Z can’t wait to split and are waiting until their On the Run tour is over before making the announcement.

Following the Solange assault against Jay-Z on May 5, both parties involved and Beyonce released a joint statement that read: “The most important thing is that our family has worked through it. Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They have both apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.”

Beyonce, Jay Z And Solange Release Joint Statement On Elevator Incident

Jay Z Beyonce And Solange Release Joint Statement On Elevator Incident via NY Daily News Beyonce, Jay Z and Solange Knowles have broken their silence on their infamous family feud caught on tape, saying they have worked through their issues and are moving on. “As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it,” the trio said in a statement to The Associated Press Thursday. “Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.” The statement comes days after a leaked surveillance video showed Solange attacking Jay Z in an elevator at the Standard Hotel after a Met Gala after-party. The May 5 beatdown was apparently triggered by Solange taking offense to designer Rachel Roy getting “too close” to the rap impresario.

Beyonce and Jay Z: New On the Run Tour Dates Announced!

Jay Z and Beyonce may be making headlines for all of the wrong reasons these days, but it seems they’re attempting to quietly shift the public’s focus back onto their music. Solange Knowles’ attack on Jay Z has dominated the headlines for the past two days and while neither member of the hip hop power couple have commented on the controversy, Jay and Bey have released two new tour dates.  The (appropriately named) On the Run Tour will now include stops at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and AT&T Park in San Francisco. Did the Carters schedule a stop at the site where Kanye West proposed to Kim Kardashian as a way of telling us their marriage is stronger than ever? Almost certainly not! But it’s fun to speculate! But while rumors continue to spread and Solange deletes Beyonce from her Instagram page , Queen Bey and King Hova have changed little about the stoic facade they present to the world. So buy tickets to their concert to hear them rap and sing graphic details about their sex life. Just don’t ask about their in-laws! Oh, and because it never really gets old, check out the footage of the Jay-Solange throwdown below: Solange Knowles-Jay Z Fight: Full Video

Solange: Provoked by Rachel Roy Prior to Jay Z Attack?

Why did  Solange Knowles violently attack Jay Z inside an elevator of The Standard Hotel on the night of May 5? We may now have a partial answer. According to a People sources, Knowles was “provoked” by designer Rachel Roy earlier that evening, with Beyonce stepping in to tell Roy “not to talk to her sister.” Jay remained silent during that initial confrontation. Rachel Roy Fight to Blame for Solange Knowles assault? Roy has known the Knowles family for years and is actually the ex-wife of Jay Z’s former business partner, Damon Dash. She was also a guest over the weekend at Kim Kardashian’s bridal party . Toward the end of the night, “Jay said something inappropriate to Beyonce and Solange , and she snapped,” says the insider. “When they got in the elevator, it escalated quickly the way family tensions can [and] got exceptionally heated the way family moments can.” That much is clear to anyone who has seen the full Solange assault footage: Solange Knowles-Jay Z Fight: Full Video It remains unclear, of course, just what brought on the argument with Roy and why Solange would get SO angry at Jay Z for simply remaining uninvolved in this alleged argument. A witness, meanwhile, claims Solange was drunk at the time of the beatdown – but People’s insider says the artist “was not intoxicated” and has already moved on. “She’s fine now,” the source says of Solange. “She’s back home in New Orleans and she’s going on with her business.” Other theories on why the beef erupted include … Solange Knowles-Jay Z Fight: Why Did it Happen? 1. Solange Has a Drinking Problem Many have pointed out that the fight took place at the end of a very long night of partying, and Solange may have been drunk at the time of the event. Reactions from those around her suggest this sort of thing happens often. We may never know for certain what caused her to snap like that, but hey, at least we’ll always have anonymous sources giving us their best guesses.

Greta Gerwig & Stars Turn Out for NYC Premiere of Lola Versus

Current “It-Girl” Greta Gerwig, Joel Kinnaman and Zoe Lister Jones were among the cast who turned up for the New York premiere Tuesday night of director Daryl Wein’s Lola Versus , hosted by the Cinema Society. A bumper crop of other actors and socialites also joined in on the fun at the screening in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, including Zachary Quinto, Noah Baumbach, Olivia Munn, Parker Posey, Russell Simmons, Eve Plumb, Jesse Peretz, Gaby Hoffman, Ed Droste (lead singer of Grizzly Bear) for the screening and after-party at the Boom Boom Room atop the Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District. In the film, Gerwig plays Lola who is suddenly dumped by her fiance only weeks before their wedding. Her life slowly tailspins as she seeks out close friends for solace and sexual mishaps as she faces turning 30 and being suddenly single. “Zoe [Lister Jones] and I were both single and interested in stories that were honest about break-ups and not just glorified versions of them,” Wein told ML at the Standard Tuesday night. He co-wrote the film along with Lister Jones who co-stars in the film with Gerwig. “Greta is great for the part because she is not an overly-polished lead. She’s vulnerable, likable but still at times unlikable,” he added. Wein said the idea for Lola Versus came to him and Lister-Jones though in the interim other films that deal with being single have cropped up. “There are stories with a feminist [bent] that have come up since then, and we’re all for it. We want more realistic depictions of break-ups and being single to be out there.” Not quite so single in real-life, Gerwig danced with her current beau Noah Baumbach at the party, which was co-hosted Brooks Brothers and Grey Goose along with Cinema Society and its founder Andrew Saffir. Of course there were signature vodka cocktails and the champagne and spectacular Manhattan views kept the soiree going well passed midnight. Fox Searchlight will open Lola Versus in limited release beginning this Friday. [ Photo Credit: Nick Hunt/Patrick McMullan Co. ]

Lindsay Lohan Involved in Another Nightclub Fracas; Michael Lohan Comes to Her Rescue

The life of Lindsay Lohan is almost too ludicrous to believe sometimes. Last night, the alleged actress returned to the scene of the alleged crime from two weeks ago, when she allegedly got into a fight with some woman. This time, LiLo rolled to The Standard Hotel in Hollywood and went to Smoke and Mirrors, the same nightclub … and got into it with another woman. Lindsay’s friend drove her car to the hotel, with the star in the passenger seat. The driver pulled into the parking garage and promptly hit another car. Witnesses say Lindsay called her sometimes-estranged, oft-jailed father, Michael Lohan, for help, and he dutifully showed up … and then hung out! MiLo took his little girl inside the club and the two chilled for hours, without any alcohol. Cute! It was all fun until some moron had to go mouth off. Around closing time, a woman in the booth next to theirs made a snide comment about Lindsay showing up with her dad. LiLo was far from happy. Lindsay got up and screamed, “Shut the f**k up!” The woman responded by throwing a drink in Lindsay’s face . MiLo grabbed her and bolted for the exit. A day in the life. [Photo: WENN.com]
