Reports Rhymes With Snitch:

Beyonce is itching to add a son to her family, but let’s hope her daughter, Blue Ivy, treats him better than Beyonce treats her own brother!

Alex Wright tells Star that she is the mother of a baby boy fathered by Beyonce’s dad, Mathew Knowles, when he was still married to Beyonce’s mother Tina.

Sources say Beyonce was so furious about her father’s affair, she refuses to meet her little brother. But Mathew’s relationship with the tot, named Nixon, isn’t much better.

“We had an 18 month relationship. We were in love and even lived together,” Wright tells Star. “But four months into my pregnancy, he decided he couldn’t do it – and since our son’s birth, he has tried to deny Nixon full child support. This isn’t about the money. It’s about accountability, education and providing Nixon a secure life.”

Earlier, Buzzfeed posted ‘The 33 Fiercest Moments From Beyoncé’s Halftime Show‘, featuring some pretty in the moment photos of her game-winning performance. Shortly after, they recieved this:

Surprisingly (but obviously), this individual must be unaware of how the internet works, because in response, Buzzfeed dedicated another Beyonce article to the publicist, titled ‘The “Unflattering” Photos Beyoncé’s Publicist Doesn’t Want You To See‘ (which features all the pics the publicist was complaining about).

I would love to have seen the look on her face one she saw this. You can check out the pictures on Buzzfeed (links above for yourself).

UPDATE: The NLF has decided to defend Beyonce and these allegations.

Not like anyone’s surprised….also not surprising: that every one of her demands will be met and satisfied. You can sideline Beyonce. From Entertainment Wise:

According to the Daily Star, Beyonce’s backstage rider not only caters for the star herself but also for her one-year-old daughter Blue Ivy and her husband Jay-Z. The newspaper claims that Beyonce has asked for Blue Ivy’s £14,000 cedar cot to be shipped from their home in New York to the New Orlean’s Superdome where the game will take place.

‘Watch The Throne’ star Jay-Z is apparently enjoying having a night off to support his wife and is planning on letting loose with £4,000 worth of cigars and alcohol.

Meanwhile, Beyonce, 31, has requested that Blue Ivy’s nursery be decorated with rose-scented candles and kept at exactly 26C. Of course, all this fuss has caused a lot of stress for runners who have to cater to the diva’s demands and they are far from impressed.

“She’s by far one of the most difficult celebrities we’ve ever dealt with,” a source told the newspaper. “The list is as long as my arm. She may be a superstar, but this day is about football not her.”

US Weekly has somehow gotten their hands on Beyonce’s setlist for the upcoming Super Bowl, which will apparently feature a Destiny’s Child reunion:

An insider exclusively tells Us that Beyonce, 31, will perform her hit “Crazy in Love” during a solo set to kick off the show. Midway through the act, she’ll be joined by Rowland, 31, and Williams, 32, to sing a medley of their biggest hits starting with “Bills, Bills, Bills,” “Survivor,” and ending with their new track “Nuclear.”

Of course, this might not be accurate and/or Beyonce will now change things up since USW let the cat out of the bag, so to speak. We’ll see coming February 3rd.

From NY Post, Page Six:

Beyonce Knowles’ flawless performance of “The Star Spangled Banner” at the inauguration was entirely lip-synched, Page Six has confirmed. A rep for the United States Marine Band revealed that she decided to perform to a pre-recorded track at the last minute.

“All music is pre-recorded for the ceremony because there are so many eventualities and conditions that day,” Kristin DuBois, a rep for the band tells Page Six. “We performed, live, the band. But we received last-minute word that Beyonce was going to use the pre-recorded vocal track. Those were the instructions we were given. We don’t know what the (sic) reason why.”

The news will surely shock those who watched the emotional performance. At one point, Beyonce even dramatically removed her earpiece – which now seems even more ludicrous, as she wasn’t even making any noise.

A rep for Kelly Clarkson, however, tells Page Six, “Kelly did sing live!”
