Not everyone is sipping from the Beyonce fountain of self-obsession. The Guardian newspaper slammed Beyonce for being a “raging narcissist,” as well as a hypocrite who posed barely nude for a photographer who has been accused of sexual harassment.
In addition to calling singer Beyonce Knowles a ‘raging narcissist,’ the paper shreds Beyonce’s conflicting statements about feminism in the February issue of GQ magazine.
In the interview, Beyonce said:
“I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let’s face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what’s sexy. And men define what’s feminine. It’s ridiculous.”
The Guardian writes: “Knowles is right: it is ridiculous that American women earn 77 cents to every dollar earned by men. This is almost as ridiculous as, say, a self-professedly powerful female celebrity (“I’m more powerful than my mind can even digest,” announces Knowles) complaining about men defining sexiness in a men’s magazine in which she poses nearly naked in seven photos, including one on the cover in which she is wearing a pair of tiny knickers and a man’s shirt so cropped that her breasts are visible. These photos, incidentally, were taken by the bafflingly successful American photographer, Terry Richardson, a man with a penchant for highly sexualised photos of women and who has been repeatedly accused of sexual exploitation and misconduct by young female models, which Richardson has denied.

Why are Bey’s feet one color and her face and entire different color. It’s not the lighting either
Sandra pls be nice to Bey remember she is more powerful than her mind can even digest. She gonna blink one day and admonish you to a place where there’s only dycks.

———————————————————————
Is it just me, or do her feet not quite fit in those shoes….
Its editing. Bey doesnt control the editing.
Her photos with Terry Richardson from GQ..all photos shot by Terry will be whitewashed. He did it to Rihanna. He did it to Kate.

That made me think of that episode of the Twilight Zone….that little girl who everyone had to be real nice to, or she’d stare at you and cause all kinds of hell
Bey giving me some stiff competition in that pick up top. **looking around for my Butt Bible DVD*
So I guess the moral to this story is, it’s not cool to be a hypocrite unless you’re an entertainer who has millions of fans and you’re extremely wealthy.
yasssss KY. ppl were holding in their piss and ish. couldnt even blink cos she was just so unstable. Sandra gonna eff around and realise her url has been disabled.
@ KY – those heels do look a little close to the edge. Cute shoes though
I think the moral is Beyonce cant tout feminism cause she posed with her clothes off. You know there are rules and chit.
Never mind that she took this message of equality to GQ..a fukking male mag.
The b!tch just do too much. Or too little. They (HATERS) havent made up their minds yet.. *files nails*
@ OTB, I feel you on the edititng. He made her with a white face and blackfeet – not a good look. But I guess he figured nobody would be checking for the feet when they can look at her curves

I take Beyonce for what she is – a beautiful sexy ass woman who is a beast on stage. I won’t buy her CDs but i’ll go to her concerts. There’s a reason God gave each and every one of us our OWN lives. Live it as you please and fugg everybody else.

Thats a hell of a quote huh @Whang
Reading it in context is better..but I cringed at those words. I dont think Beyonce knows about her internet rep. 
@Just Looking- No go on, be yourself! LOL
So did ya’ll already talk about Yandy and ManDisease (sp)?
OTB if that
was for my last comment I
I had way too many thoughts going on at once and ent made one likka sense I would scratch it if I knew how. 
I don’t read the Guardian
Phuck them & Hadley the author

Everybody smells themselves once in a while. She’s that chick. That’s why they keep throwing her name out there to sell newspapers.
I got nothing
@Ty—not an invisible part… just a little hair left out..
Libra80: I agree….. but I will play devil’s advocate and say in her defense that maybe she speaks/acts before she thinks. While she has definitely made a name for herself, I have always admired stars who exude humility and grace, i.e. Luther Vandross, Lena Horne, Nat King Cole, etc.
@Ty….. OMG!! I forgot today was her birthday!! I wish she were still here to make good quality music. Le sigh…..those were the days.

she’s a paid entertainer who gets paid a lot to entertain based on supply & demand, so until the demands ceases then let her supply her fans & the rest of y’all should simply look the other way!! She’s not here to save the world, she’s not the spikeperson for all women or mothers, she’s an entertainer so stop holding her to higher standards than any other entertainer, Rihanna pose naked & she’s edgy & what’s hot, she can promote her album & say all types of fuggery with a joint in her mouth & she’s a rebel- gtfoh you ain’t gotta like the chick, hell don’t but let that bish do her

I think she’s means that celebrities wield power over their followers in the basic sense because they are idolized. But she has zero power over people who are not one of her drooling stans. I’m sure her narcissistic mind can’t fathom that there are people who don’t even know she exists.

@ WIP regarding comment #32
Girl you? Honey, I need an ab workout, leg workout, back workout, neck workout, and arm workout. How about that? The stuff that I want to jiggle, won’t. The stuff that I don’t want to jiggle, will. It’s like there’s a missing link between my body and the gym. Kinda like how there’s a missing link sometimes between Beyonce’s brain and her mouth.
@ Sandrita May (Sandrita May = Sandra Rose) Since you celebrate the birthday of dead people, could you at least celebrate her life?
I was disappointed to hear she posed for Terry Richardson but damn she fine
1. Her body is banging *disclaimer: as pictured above in however they made her look like that*. 2. We all know shis slow in the brain. 3. I need to HEAR the whole interview because I can’t take what some of these magazines edit and print as Gospel.
I had those same thoughts when i read some things from the magazine. Its like she’s trying to be deep, but she reveals how little knowledge she has with the basic contradictions.
Beyonce is NOT deep and I wish she would stop trying to be, she just comes off as ditsy and uneducated.
Bey you were put on this earth to sing, dance, and entertain your followers and the masses.. Do that and talk less.
interesting article…so they’re basically saying she’s talking out both sides of her neck
PICKACHY
and Morning to others as they straggle in 
This woman can’t win, no matter what she does, folks gonna always hate on her…and for what? She getting her hussle on and preparing for her and her families future…what is wrong with that? just

To each is own, but honestly for what? They are no longer here, matter fact, they are in a much better place
so why celebrate their life in this partial hell hole of a world we live in. But folks do what they want so

Hey Wut

I dont take it so much as celebrating the dead on their birthday, but more of remembering that individual on their b-day. Especially if it is someone that was very close to me. But everyone has their own preference!!
Wut Wut
@wut good morning shuga, shait I hate when folks wake me up even ten minutes early.. Luv my sleep!
I’m totally missing th point of this post. I don’t need B to perform a background check on the “wildly successful” photographers she works with. Furthermore, just because the pics are in a men’s magazine doesn’t mean that B doesn’t think she looks sexy in them. Her whole point in the quote is that she be sexy by her own standards not by some man’s standards.

So us eastcoasters are supposed to be getting snow, it better be enough for a State of Emer…
