Beyonce Shopping Her Own Documentary, Explains "Footprint" Mystery

Posted: 02 Aug 2012 10:01 AM PDT

Beyonce is putting on her working mom hat again.  And has reportedly begun shopping her own documentary she wrote, produced & of course, starred in.  Plus, she's finally explained that August 19th "Leave Your Footprint" mystery.  And it's not music related.

 

Deets inside...

Beyonce is shopping a documentary, y'all.  Seeing that the project is being described as "a mix of music and personal study, blending concert footage with confessional interview," we have a feleing it'll be along the same lines as her MTV doc "Year of 4" and her "I Am Tour" documentary.

Twenty minutes of the movie has been shopped to distributors by Beyonce and her agents at ICM.  And we're sure it won't be hard to land one.  The L.A. Times reports that it is a nonfiction work based on the R&B/Pop star's life.  Since she's had a baby, traveled the world with her hubby and Kanye for their WTT tour, and worked a comeback weekend of concerts all this year, we're sure there's a lot of ish to be seen.

The real question here is--will Blue Ivy and her custom baby lace front to match her mama's that we know she has in her closet be front and center?  Can't wait!

As for that mysterious Footprint message Bey posted last week--World Humanitarian Day (August 19th) is upon us.  And Beyonce has taken on the role of rounding up as many people as possible to do something small for someone else.  She posted a message to her site (above) this morning explaining what you can do to participate.  It requires logging on to the WHD site and showing your support, plus sharing how you will help someone.  All messages will be shared worldwide on August 19th, and your "footprint" will be left.

Cute.

Pics inside of her and Kiyan making their London promo rounds and chillin' with daddy Melo on a shopping trip...

A fabulous LaLa rocked a fitted orange and blue striped dress for her appearance this morning on "The Today Show."  She brought her USA decked out son Kiyan along.  And the twosome made an appearance on the morning show where La said she came over to cheer on her husband, basketball star Carmelo Anthony, and to document every moment with her camera crew.

And yesterday, as soon as La, her mom and Kiyan arrived, they immediately hit the streets so daddy Melo could buy tons of toys and Nike gear for his mini-me. LeBron James (not pictured) also shopped it up with them copping tons of toys for his own sons.

The fam will be cheering on Team USA tonight as they take on Nigeria at 5:15pm EST.

La Toya Jackson Cops "Life With La Toya" Reality Show On OWN + Randy Jackson's CHILD SUPPORT Tab OVER $500K!

Posted: 02 Aug 2012 07:37 AM PDT

La Toya Jackson is headed back to the small screen in her own reality show on OWN. Get the deets inside and find out about Randy Jackson's child support woes.......

Well no wonder La Toya didn't have time for all that Jackson Family drama.....she's has an actual job.  Kinda.  Oprah's OWN has picked up a new reality show based on La Toya's life called..."Life With La Toya." The show will follow Ms. Jackson as she hangs with her famous family, life-long friends and builds her business empire.  Oh.

La Toya, who's also a producer on the show, said:

"I am so pleased to be working with television legend Oprah Winfrey and to be a part of the OWN family.  This will be one of the most exciting adventures of my life."

OWN co-president Sheri Salata added,  "We are delighted to work with La Toya to bring this new show to OWN viewers." 

In other Jackson news........

 

Folks are saying that Randy Jackson started up all that drama with the estate because he owes nearly $500K in child support to baby momma Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza!

Though he publicly denied this saying, "Let me just say this. This is not about money for us," most folks don't buy it. And since it's being reported that in the past both both Randy and Jermaine Jackson (who also has kids with Alejandra...sigh) have asked the estate to pay for their child support...it's might fishy.

Randy's kids are grown, Genevieve, 22, and Steven, 20, but Alejandra has not forgotten!

"Conceptually I wanted to do something that was strictly fashion and beauty and just a little of narrative.

I just wanted people to see her come back, just performing crazy. So I came up with this idea of her sort of being in this padded room as if she had lost her mind over love.”

Check out Keyshia's choreographed dance skills in her new video for "Enough of No Love," which will appear on her upcoming fifth studio album, Woman To Woman.

Meagan Good Gets HOT For UPSCALE's August 2012 Cover, Gushes On Being Typecast & Why Her Husband's Love For God Is So Sexy

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 12:51 PM PDT

Sexy newlywed Meagan Good is making the most of her good publicity from her wedding, hit movie Think Like A Man and the upcoming sequel, and her new NBC show she's set to star in.  Check out the fab chick covering the August 2012 issue of UPSCALE, and what she had to say about her equally sexy God-fearing hubby and being typecast....

She's set to star in a new network tv mystery series, and she just got laced with a wedding and beautiful ring from a great guy.  What else could a girl want? 

Meagan Good, star of the upcoming NBC series "Infamous", opened up to UPSCALE Magazine about what true power is in her eyes, and how her husband, DeVon Franklin, brought love and healing into her life.  And the gorgeous 30-year-old is determined to show people she hasn't been typecast as the sexy girl every man wants.

On being typecast:
"There were a couple times where the director said 'We really like you, but you're a little bit too sexy.' And I'm like, 'Well, what do I need to do? Wear a turtleneck? You know, loose-fitting clothes?' And they're like "Nah, it's just something that you give off." I don't know that I necessarily believe that. I believe that people, when they have a pre-conceived notion of who you are, and things you've done in the past, sometimes they forget that as an actor you're able to shut off whatever you need to shut off, and you're able to turn on whatever you need to turn on."

On her love for her husband:
"To me there's nothing sexier than a man that loves the Lord. I can't imagine anything more attractive. And then, we just get each other, we don't judge each other. He understands me. His love has brought a lot of healing to a lot of areas that have been really painful for me. "

"Being with someone who is a preacher as well, people tend to try to sensationalize everything you do. So that's definitely been a different experience for me..."

On what true power is:
My definition of power is being able to move, and live, and do the things that you aspire to do and that you believe are part of your purpose to do, without letting other people's opinions or judgements manipulate your direction, without getting discouraged when a door closes, and just kinda having a good sense of self, and knowing who you are, and being strong in your walk with God. All of that, to me, is what power is.

Loves her.

Pharrell Williams Talks His BEE LINE Fashion Label In GQ+ Steve Harvey Preps FINAL Stand-Up Performance

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 11:45 AM PDT

Super producer Pharrell Williams has launched a new fashion label called Bee Line.  Get the deets inside and find out about Steve Harvey's last comedy show.

Pharrell Williams, creator of the BBC line, has teamed with menswear designer Mark McNairy for a new fashion label called Bee Line for Billionaire Boys Club. In the latest issue of GQ, outtake pictured above, the duo have a conversation about fashion.  Here are the highlights:

Making the Band

Mark McNairy:
"I always liked what Pharrell did with Billionaire Boys Club—it's like preppy streetwear. We started by collaborating on one shoe. We talked about doing clothes, and eventually it evolved into a full made-in-the-U.S.A. collection."

The Line Between Streetwear and Menswear
McNairy: "In my head, there is no line."
Pharrell: "I don't know lines. I understand the concept, but it's just not fun to work inside a box."

Working with Pharrell
McNairy: "I came in confident. Then I started hearing how picky Pharrell is, so I got a little nervous. We had our initial meetings and decided what the direction should be. When I took all the prototypes to Miami, he loved everything."

Working with McNasty
Pharrell: "He's very quirky and a quiet guy, but also funny as hell. Within all that quirkiness, he's very confident. The man just clicks."

Southern Players
Pharrell: "Mark has learned a lot along the way, but his mentality is still North Carolina. I like the way he just crashes shit together."
McNairy: "Pharrell's basically a southern gentleman. I bet Virginia Beach isn't that different from Greensboro."

The One Piece That Says It All
McNairy: "It's definitely the gold- and silver-sleeve varsity jackets. I was in the factory and saw a metallic scrap on the floor. I ran to 35th Street, bought the leather, and bam."

 

 

If you love Steve Harvey's comedy................

He's putting together something special just for you.  The comedian and radio host is walking away from the standup game as he headlines his final stand-up comedy show on August 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. His 27 year career in stand-up is officially done, so he says. Fans can watch live on Pay-Per-View August 2nd at 11 PM EDT/8 PM PDT.

Steve said,

“The road to this final show has been an amazing journey doing stand-up for the past 27 years, and I can’t thank fans enough after reflecting on all those years on stage, and the unforgettable moments and jokes we’ve shared. It’s been a wild ride over these years on stage, radio, TV and more, and taking the stage for my final show, I will have a special blowout performance in store for everyone in Las Vegas and watching at home that will be bigger than any show I’ve done so far.”
