The Celebrity of February: Beyonce Knowles

The R&B singer Beyonce, who was our Celebrity of November 2005, is now also the Celebrity of February because of her recent film Pink Panter and the upcoming movie Dreamgirls. However, last month the R&B star also caught the attention with her fashion range - House of Dereon. The R&B celebrity Beyonce Knowles reportedly received many hate mails for selling animal fur in her fashion range. The letters came thanks to Beyonce's label Dereon which started selling clothes made of rabbit and chinchilla fur - and teddy bears made of mink.

In present, Beyonce Knowles is focusing on her role in the upcoming movie "Dreamgirls" and her music career will have to wait, but not that much as the R&B celebrity revealed she is going to work on her next album after she ends up filming. That being said Beyonce wants to release her next solo album this summer due to her busy movie schedule. Beyonce's new album will be the follow-up of "Dangerously in Love," debut album.

The Celebrity couple Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z Split?

According to MediaTakeOut.com in an exclusive interview with one of Jay Z’s "friends" - who spoke to them on the condition of anonymity - it was revealed that the loved Celebrity couple Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z have split after a 5 year relationship. The reason was quite obvious, Hip-Hop mogul Jay-Z (38 years old) wanted, for some time now, to settle down and have a family while Beyonce (and her family) did not. Apparently they remain good friends, they are very much in love - as the insider reveals - and things could get back on track. Hopefully we will soon have an official statement about whether is true or not.

[Jay Z]’s not 25 - he’s been ready to settle down and have a family for a while now. But Beyonce was asking him for more time. It got to the point where [Jay Z] was constantly pressuring her and it wasn’t good for the relationship … So they both decided that it would be best if they just stayed as friends.

Beyonce’s family was completely against her getting married. They’re cool with [Jay Z] and all … they just felt that he was a little too serious for her at this point in her life. And at this point in her career.

They still love each other and they’re still good friends so you can’t expect them to just cut things off completely … For now, it’s over. But who knows what might happen in a couple of months.

However, the singer Beyonce said that every celebrity is going through wedding rumors, its 'normal'!

I had True Star originally. And it was a reflection of my true self, of Beyonce. It was really private, and not overbearing. True Star Gold - Gold is my favorite colour, and it, basically, is a reflection of Sasha, who is my personality on the stage. It's more sexy. It's more outgoing. It's the type of fragrance you would wear if you had a hot date or you're going out, having a Sex And The City night with your girlfriends.
