Beyonce's Practically Giving Concert Tickets Away

We all know that beYAWNce's tour isn't selling, so I guess Pimpin' Matthew decided to get a clue. Folks will be able to get tickets for as low as $20. 1,000 specially priced seats for each show will be available by the end of the week to a stan near you. Since it's so cheap, maybe I'll buy a ticket....Just to throw tomatoes at the stage. HA! source

Beyonce Thinks She's Barbara Streisand

Beyonce is confusing herself for real legends like Barbara Streisand, Liza Minnelli, and Mariah Carey. How else can you explain the ticket prices for her four night "intimate" appearance at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas? Rich stans have to buy their tickets with a two night stay in the hotel where the price for packages range from $450 and $850 per person. The real kicker is if you don't want to stay at the hotel the tickets will go for $250, $500, $750, and $1000 per person. source

Note to Pimp Daddy Knowles: Boy stop, Beyonce's world and U.S. tour can't even sell out when tickets are so low as $20. So what could you be possibly smoking if you believe that she can sell out a four night concert with ticket prices up to $1,000? There's so many tickets Jay-Z can buy. SMH

Here's the video of Rih Rih getting embarrassed by Beenie Man. He called her to the stage and then proceeded to sing an off-key version of 'Umbrella.' Way to put her on the spot Bennie. SMDH source

Interestingly enough, Chris Brown will be in court tomorrow for his assault charges.

Random Notes

Dr. Martin Luther King's children seem to have a history of trying to profit off of their father's words and images. People are now upset over the fact they are charging the National Memorial Project Foundation for a memorial that will be dedicated to Dr. King. The King Children are charging the foundation $800,000 for the use of his words and image. "I don't think the Jefferson family, the Lincoln family ... I don't think any other group of family ancestors has been paid a licensing fee for a memorial in Washington," said Cambridge University historian David Garrow, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his biography of King. "One would think any family would be so thrilled to have their forefather celebrated and memorialized in D.C. that it would never dawn on them to ask for a penny." source

Day26 is predicted to score their second number one record with 'Forever And A Day.' The album has been predicted to move over 100,000 units. But it stills faces competition from Miley Cyrus' Hanna Montana bullshit and Rascal Flatts' new album. source

British star M.I.A. returned to the stage at the coachella concert in Indio, California. She recently gave birth to son Ikyd in February. She gave the security detail some trouble after concert goers stormed the stage when she invited them to join her for a performance of 'Bird Flu.'

Britney Spears Walks Off Stage During Vancouver Concert

There were a lot of angry people last night at Britney Spears' Vancouver show. She stopped the show after 15 minutes and three songs into the performance. She left the stage and didn't return for 30 minutes.

Cigarette smoke from the crowd was blamed, with a female voice announcing to the crowd, "The building is awfully smoky. It is uncomfortable for everyone on stage, including Ms. Spears. Please extinguish all cigarettes – this is a non-smoking building, and the show will resume when the smoke on the stage is cleared."

She continued on with the show with a rendition of 'Me Against the Music.' At the end of the concert, she told the audience, "Drive safe, don't smoke weed, and rock out with your cocks out. Peace motherf*ckers!" source
