There were a lot of great bits in Wednesday night’s episode of the new FOX favorite Glee. Take this one for instance. In this clip from last night’s show, check out the school football team dancing to Beyonce’s award-winning music video, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).”

Beyonce made a young cancer patient’s dream come true when she brought the child onstage during her concert in Sydney, Australia last Friday night.

Preppy retail giant Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) and R&B songstress Beyonce may be heading to court in a trademark dispute over the star’s new perfume.
A&F filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday to stop the platinum-selling singer from launching a perfume under the name of her sultry alter ego, Sasha Fierce, Women’s Wear Daily reported Wednesday.
Beyoncé filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in September 2008 for Sasha Fierce, but A&F says they began selling Fierce in 2002 and trademarked the fragrance in 2003.
It should be interesting to see how this one unfolds. We’ll keep you posted.
Beyonce has landed a multimillion dollar deal to launch her own perfume with fragrance house Coty — the company behind signature scents by Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwen Stefani, and Halle Berry.

Taylor Swift praised Beyonce Knowles-Carter for her graciousness during a post-ceremony press conference for Sunday night’s 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Taylor was publicly humiliated while accepting her first-ever moonman, after Kanye West made history by storming the stage during Taylor’s speech and telling the crowd that he believed Beyonce was the true winner in the Best Female Video category.
“Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’m gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,” he shouted.
Kanye’s characteristically childish outburst was greeted by boos and jeers from the Radio City Music Hall crowd, as a mortified Beyonce looked on from the audience. Taylor stood speechless as she held back tears as fans began chanting her name in support. Kanye was promptly asked to leave the ceremony by network execs.
But Beyonce, always a class act, saved the day by inviting Taylor on-stage to finish delivering her speech while accepting the Video of the Year trophy for her hit 2008 single “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” Read the rest of this entry »
Beyonce won the Video of the Year moonman for her 2008 video “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” at Sunday night’s 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in New York; but instead of offering a long-winded acceptance speech, the R&B hitmaker gave the microphone to country crooner Taylor Swift, who accepted her award for Best Female Video.
Earlier in the night, Taylor was callouslly ambushed by Kanye West — who declared it was Beyonce who deserved the award — in the middle of her thank you notes.
“[I remember] I was up for my first MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life,” Beyonce said. “So I’d like for Taylor to come out and have her moment.”
Taylor then took the stage in a red dress that matched Beyonce’s, thanking the fans “on Twitter and MySpace and everyone who came out to my shows this summer,” as well as those who had worked on her video for “You Belong With Me.”
In case you needed further confirmation that Kanye West is a total asshat, feast your eyes on Exhibit A: The outspoken rapper interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video at MTV’s 2009 Video Music Awards to declare that Beyonce’s popular “Single Ladies” music video should have received the award instead.
A speechless Taylor, visibly shaken, left the stage following the outburst.
MTV should have blackballed him after he severed a blood vessel when Britney Spears was invited to open the VMAs in Las Vegas back in 2007.
