The Blindside

The actor who co-stars with Beyonce in the movie “Cadillac Records” admitted he loved kissing the singer and mainly that’s why he wanted to reshoot the scene over and over again: “It is fun, obviously, to kiss Beyonce. I insisted on a lot of takes.” He also added about the whole love affair between their characters: “When I met Etta, she told me, ‘Leonard and I did not do those things!’ So, yes, it was somewhat embellished. But what’s wonderful is the truth Beyonce brings to that moment. That justified it.” Right… you have to wonder who put in a word or two for introducing that in the movie. Of course, it’s just acting and it’s not like she’s a married woman or anything.

Reno, Nevada resident Pamela Keeney is very much upset about seeing Beyonce. She lives near a Billboard which she’s forced to see everyday and she thinks that it’s just not right.

Keeney says about the billboard featuring Beyonce “All she has on is two little triangles that cover her breasts. It’s obscene. I have my two little grand kids coming over here, and they don’t need to be seeing that.” Conservative thinking yes, but she does have a point.

She is so offended by the billboard that she actually started a petition to get it taken down. She currently has 100 signatures on it.

As if there’s not enough stuff that has her name on it, Beyonce took time to pimp out the new B’Phone by Samsung at the Samsung Experience Store in New York City on Thursday.

The phone that carries Beyonce’s brand is a special edition Samsung UpStage SPH-M620 Sprint-mobile phone. It will be available in gold and burgundy colors. It’s a must have for all Beyonce fans because it will be preloaded with a Beyonce-styled start-up screen, exclusive pictures and video clips as well as a song sung by Beyonce when she was 10.
The B’Phone will be available on November 4th.
