Beyonce is getting that tour gwap like Rih Rih . Beyonce Breaks Tour Records Unlike some piff puffin’ Bajan performers, Bey deserves her tour gwap because she gives great performances. According to Billboard: Beyoncé’s latest tour of Australia and New Zealand was “by far” her biggest trek yet in the region, shifting almost 220,000 tickets and grossing more than Australian $40 million ($37 million), promoter Live Nation reported today. The Down Under leg of the “Mrs. Carter Show World Tour” included 14 arena dates across Australia’s five big cities, and four in Auckland, New Zealand. The tour grew from its initial itinerary of six-dates across the two countries. Along the way, Bey’s shows set a handful of attendance records. The four dates at Auckland’s Vector Arena attracted 44,596 ticket-buyers, a new benchmark for the venue (Roger Waters’ 2012 “The Wall Live” tour previously held the record). Also, the final night of the tour at Perth Arena on the weekend had a paid attendance of 14,758, a new record for the year-old venue, breaking the mark set recently by Pink. “I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with Beyoncé since the first Destiny’s Child tour in 2000,” notes Michael Coppel, president and CEO of Live Nation Australia, “but this tour has been an absolute standout in terms of the showcasing her unparalleled talent, energy and joy for performing in one of the most spectacular productions ever to visit this country.” Bey’s tour was incident-free, and the publicity was largely glowing. In Perth, she produced a moment that will live-on forever thanks to YouTube — she performed a duet with a blind teenage fan in the audience. Can we hold something Bey Bey?
Miley Cyrus isn’t afraid of controversy, as we know from her lighting up on stage, Twerking with dwarves, licking stuff, getting naked … or anything Miley Cyrus does. Nor is she afraid of daring music covers, as she proved on the UK’s BBC Radio 1’s when she belted out a sultry rendition of Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness.” Did she do it justice? Watch her performance below and see what you think: Miley Cyrus – Summertime Sadness “Check out my @BBCR1 live lounge cover of Summertime Sadness,” she wrote of stripped down, acoustic set for the ballad with two backup singers. The BBC lounge performance is quite the chilled out departure from Miley Cyrus’ MTV EMAs antics, which included smoking a joint on live television. “No one was expecting it to happen,” an insider said of the incident. “It was just so brazen, so shameless. It was just so uncalled for.” Uncalled for, but nothing to worry about, as marijuana is legal in Amsterdam. As for Cyrus, she could not care less about the backlash she received. “Sometimes in life you just gotta decide to not give AF,” she wrote. Or all the time in life, if you’re Miley Cyrus. Not AF given, ever. Young sex sells, and she knows it (and Jennifer Lawrence called her out on it), riding it to record sales and greater fame and fortune with each passing week. She’s got talent, no doubt about it, and shows gusto as a performer unafraid to go for broke. But is she taking a “Wrecking Ball” to her career long-term? Will the young fans she caters do eventually abandon her for setting a terrible example, while everyone else tires of the non-stop shenanigans? You tell us: Is Miley Cyrus the worst role model ever? Yes. She’s the absolute worst! Not the best, but not the worst … No! She’s actually a good role model! View Poll »
A crazy viral video has surfaced purportedly showing Kanye West beating the ever-loving crap out of several members of the paparazzi, but it’s not him. It’s unclear who this actually is, whether the fighting is real, why it went viral or why people assumed it was ‘Ye … okay, we can sort of see the last part. ‘Ye or nay, you gotta watch this insanity in the streets: Kanye West Attacks Paparazzi? If this were Kanye, needless to say it would be a major deal in his upcoming criminal case, as prosecutors claim that the rapper is violent by nature. The Austin, Texas, footage does not show West, however. Mr. Kim Kardashian wasn’t there at the time this was filmed, multiple sources have confirmed. In fact, according to TMZ, Kanye himself saw the clip of the alleged beatings he’s doling out and laughed, saying if it were really him, he’d be in jail. Seriously. Dude goes all MMA on them, whoever he is. For actual West vs. paparazzi footage, and there is plenty of it … see below. Along with an epic remix of one of the altercations, auto-tune style!
