Beyonce - Dereon Spring 2009

Beyonce is a busy bee! This girl just doesn't STOP! If it's not her music, it's her film career. If it's not her film career, it's her clothing line. Here are a few shots of Beyonce coming or going at LAX (who can keep up these days) and a behind the scenes video from her Spring 2009 Dereon shoot.

Beyonce Knowles refused to walk to her car in the cold

Beyonce Knowles reportedly refused to walk to her car in the cold afterrehearsing for US President Barack Obama’s pre-inauguration concert.

The ‘If I Were A Boy’ singer was furious when she was told she would have tomake her own way to her car four blocks away as the surrounding streets hadbeen shut amid heightened security before the event. Police refused to bow to her demands, but the US Secret Service eventually decided to allow her driver to come and pick her up.

A host of celebrities converged on Washington’s Capitol Hill to watch the historic day which saw the first African-American President sworn in. Beyonce was joined by her husband Jay-Z, while P. Diddy was also spotted inthe near two-million strong crowd.

Kelly Rowland Splits from Beyonce's Manager Dad

Kelly Rowland says she will always be a part of Beyonce's family, but she no longer will be managed by the superstar's father. Rowland and Matthew Knowles announced Wednesday that he is bowing out as her manager. He's guided her career since she was kid, when he put her in Destiny's Child along with Beyonce. He even helped raise her.

Both Rowland and Knowles - who still manages daughter Beyonce - called the split amicable. Both say they will always be family. Rowland has sold millions of records as part of Destiny's Child, but her solo career hasn't matched that success. Rowland - who turns 27 next month - did not say who her new manager will be.

Be a Stunner All Day Long

The same makeup MO doesn’t always work for both day and night. Here are some expert tricks from our book, "Cosmo’s Sexiest Beauty Secrets," that’ll keep your face looking gorgeous around the clock.

Pretty and PolishedSmooth skin. When you wake up, your skin is in its most dewy state, so you don’t need to cover it up much, says NYC dermatologist Francesca Fusco. Just apply a thin veil of a sheer foundation. Then dab a creamy concealer over blemishes and under-eye circles.Rosy cheeks. Because your circulation is slower in the morning, your cheeks will look kind of pale, says Dr. Fusco. Amp up your flush factor with cream blush, then swirl on a powder bronzer for a subtle boost.

Gorgeous and GlowySilky skin. By night your skin is dehydrated, says Dr. Fusco. Reach for a moisturizing foundation to look fresh. Then hide blemishes with concealer and dust shiny spots with a light layer of powder.

Gleaming cheeks. Ever notice how your face seems to get ruddy as the day goes on? Stress and caffeine intake can create extra redness by causing blood vessels to swell and expand under the skin, says Dr. Fusco. So don’t pile on more blush — just brighten your existing shade with a sweep of gold shimmer powder.

Sun-kissed skin. Extra sleep on the weekend helps boost blood flow, making under-eye circles less obvious. So just use a tinted moisturizer with SPF and top it off with liquid bronzer.

Radiant cheeks. Chances are, you’re already rosy, since you’re getting more heart-pumping activity (like power shopping) than during the week, notes Dr. Fusco. Play up your natural flush with a hint of cream blush on the apples of your cheeks.

Iridescent skin. After the sun goes down, it’s prime time to connect with guys. That means you’ll want to reveal more of yourself, skin ­included. To really glow, apply shimmer powder on key areas — the brow bone, cheekbones, and décolletage.

Tawny cheeks. Adjust to the darkness of your surroundings with a more dramatic blush than you’d wear during the day. But apply it before you go out. Bar lighting tends to be cavelike, so you could overdo it by accident.

Creepy??? - Fish Pedicures

Fish pedicures, where tiny carp nibble away at the dead skin on your feet, became popular at a spa in the D.C. area this year. We never thought we'd say no to spa pampering, but dunking our tootsies in a bowl of hungry fish totally freaks us out.

Ms Dynamite - Brother

When we were young,
Life was so unjust,
At times i felt it was just us,
Mama working hard to put food on the table.
All on her own she sacrafised,
Even when my brothers and sisters died,
Some how she stayed strong,
I never saw her cry.
I was the oldet and responsibility was so immense,
The tension,
We'd disagree,
So i left, at the time I felt she hated me.
Told me to be strong,
Told me to hang on,
Hugged Me tight,
And said "Big Sister It'll be alright"...

Brother, I love ya,
Little brother,
I thank God for ya every day,
Little Brother,
I Love Ya,
And I pray he'll never take you away.

When my soul withered and i lived in the dark,
An emptiness it filled my heart.
U Never stopped holdin' me,
Never stopped tryin' to open me up.
The days and nights I spent stressin',
The years I spent In depression,
This is my confession.
Thought about ending it sometimes,
But the second you crossed my mind,
I knew, I could never leave you.
Made me believe,
You set me free,
To this day, all I say and do, i owe it all to you.

Ooh,
I would lie for you,
Cry for you,
Ride or die for you,
Touch the sky for you,
If you asked me to
Theres nothin i wont do
I took this life for joke
I would drink or smoke
To ease away the pain
And forget the memories up in my brain
But you helped me to stop the rain
Oh brother brother...
