Beyonce's superstar status is undeniable,
but Beyoncé Knowles won’t be lighting up the screen in the “A Star is Born”
remake after all.
Though the “Bootylicious” babe was
reported to be cast in the Clint Eastwood-directed gig, she has been forced to
back out due to scheduling issues.
Knowles told press, "I was looking
forward to the production of A Star Is Born and the opportunity to work with
Clint Eastwood.”
“For months we tried to coordinate our
schedules to bring this remake to life but it was just not possible. Hopefully
in the future we will get a chance to work together."
Beyonce’s never one to disappoint her
loyal followers, and Beyoncé Knowles has just unveiled a new shot of her House
of Dereon’s Winter 2012 goodies.
The “Crazy in Love” songstress, who made
a surprise appearance at hubby Jay-Z’s Brooklyn, NY gig over the weekend, has
outdone herself again with the new image.
Looking leggy, Beyonce makes her black
and red form-fitting dress jump off the page thanks to her intense expression of
fierce femininity.
Not wanting to detract from the duds, Bey
opts for a neat and tidy side-part ponytail as she struts her stuff against an
icy mist background.
With his nine-part web series
"Cybergeddon" currently playing on Yahoo, Olivier Martinez garnered himself a
little added exposure by covering the Men's October 2012 issue of Ocean Drive
magazine.
The 46-year-old actor looked handsome in
designer items such as a Dior Homme suit and a Gucci leather jacket for the Jack
Guy shot spread while talking about topics including fame, food and
acting.
On his role in "Cybergeddon:"
"I play a cyberterrorist—a supersmart,
tech-savvy man who’s going to use his skills for revenge. In a way, it’s kind of
a criticism of the dangers of the Internet, and of all these new media and means
of communication, like what happens if it gets into the wrong hands…. But
cyberterrorism between countries does exist, with spies and such—it’s a new
dimension, and it has a real effect on humanity."
On fame:
"To be famous doesn’t really represent
anything, and it’s rather tacky to consider yourself famous. In a world where
most people want to appear, I want to disappear a little bit…. I like to have
some distance with everything. And if people don’t recognize me on the street,
it’s even better. That isn’t where my ego is."
On his love for food:
"I completely associate food with
pleasure. For me, to eat, even a sandwich, it has to be really good, and I have
to get some pleasure from the taste. That’s where your culture starts—good
taste, good flavors, everything starts there. Like putting good gas in your car,
good food starts you off, and when you can taste a variety of foods, you get to
internalize many different perceptive qualities, and everything is related after
that. You are what you eat."
On where he sees himself in 10
years:
"Hopefully in a nice place near the
ocean. My ocean is the Mediterranean, so somewhere there, near Corsica, or in
the south of Spain, or Morocco. That’s where I’d be happiest."
Despite recent pregnancy rumors, Jay-Z is
assuring us that Beyoncé is definitely NOT pregnant.
On Wednesday night (September 26), the
42-year-old rapper opened up about his wife during the NBA 2K13 release party in
New York City.
When E! Online asked if baby Blue Ivy
will welcome a sibling, Jay responded, “Not tonight, not in nine months –
absolutely not."
Leaving their little one at home to step
out for a night of celebration, Beyonce and Jay-Z were busy kicking back with
friends at La Marina in New York City on Sunday night (September 23).
The music industry power couple made
their way into the newly opened restaurant and lounge with the "Halo" singer
dressed to kill in a leopard print Roberto Cavalli dress and sky high
heels.
Beyonce and Jay proceeded to join a few
of the "99 Problems" hitmaker’s friends, including Swizz Beatz and Memphis
Bleek, to usher in the launch of the iconic rapper’s cognac brand,
D'USSE.
Just last week, the always-busy twosome
spent some couple time together as they co-hosted an NYC campaign for President
Barack Obama.
While hanging out with the “Watch the
Throne” rapper, the U.S. Commander-In-Chief told that he and Jay have a lot in
common, explaining,”We both have daughters and our wives are more popular than
we are," adding, "so you know, we've got a little bond there. It's hard, but
it's okay."
Lady Gaga always has a good time no
matter where she goes, and last night (September 9) Lady Gaga seemed sprightly
as she hung out on the steps of her hotel in London, England.
Joined by a few friends, the “You and I”
singer wore a white ball gown and held up a sign that said “I Love London” after
partying with Rihanna at the Arts Club.
Earlier in the day, Gaga was spotted
wearing a red 1950s-inspired dress teamed with an unusual neckpiece as she waved
to fans outside her hotel.
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga played Twickenham
Stadium over the weekend, paying tribute to Princess Diana and Amy Winehouse
during her set.
Gaga told the audience, “Since I was a
very young girl, the people’s Princess was the most important person in me and
my mother’s life. I swore if I ever had an audience like this in London, I would
take a moment to appreciate her.”
Back on the red carpet for a final press
function on the eve of her new movie's release, Emma Watson looked fabulous at
The Cinema Society special screening of "The Perks Of Being A Wall Flower" in

"Harry Potter" actress joined alongside co-stars Logan Lerman, Johnny Simmons,

Big Apple premiere.
