Vintage Beauty: EnVogue

Back in the 90's these women were the equlivant of Four Beyonce's on the same stage.

Beyonce Channels Vintage Beauty

"Why Don't You Love Me" - Beyoncé from Beyoncé on Vimeo.

Wow, here's Beyonce channeling some vintage beauty (this Betty Paige tribute married to her co-production of Gaga's Telephone are very interesting artistic choices. I've always liked Beyonce, but I'm lovin' her lately).

Double Standard Alert !!

Mediatakeout.com is reporting that Beyonce is neglecting her marriage by working on Valentine's Day instead of going to a basketball game with her husband.

In my opinion, both of these people are rich and mobile. If he wanted to be with his wife, he could have flew to Chile if he had non-paying activities at the All-Star game.

But I would like to point out, that many singers rest their voices before performance. Therefore, even if he went she probably wouldn't have been a good conversationalist.

Kanye West is a Douchebag, but Beyonce Saves the Day by her Inherent Classiness

In the above video, Kanye West inexplicably decides to steal the spot-light from new-comer Taylor Swift in order to "praise" Beyonce. She just won her first award and Kanye decides to point out that Beyonce is somehow more deserving of praise at that particularly moment. Beyonce, in the audience, is of course horrified (because she's a classy lady). Kanye is an attention grabbing jerk. In the video below, during her award for best video, Beyonce invites Taylor back to accept her award. Unfortunately is always seems to take a woman to clean up a man's mess, but Beyonce inherent grace is more than up to the job.




Why do I mention this on a health and wellness blog? Well, number 1, Beyonce is a great example for women to withstand the pressures of sickly-skinny--she is a slender woman by any standards except the very narrow constraints of Hollywood. She has talked honestly about her struggles and how hard it is to maintain sanity in that environment. And I think that her healthy relationship to her body also contributes toward her grace and dignified presence in an industry where many narcissists and destructive personalities (yes, Kanye, that was a jab at you) must be dealt with on a constant basis. We all have to deal with these kinds of people on occasion, but rarely, dear reader do I suppose you have to deal with them in front of millions of viewers?

So, thank you Beyonce for your sane and talented presence in our collective popular culture.

Madonna's Trainer Denies She's Unhealthy

Madonna is known lately not for her singing, or her divorces, or her adoptions, but for her overly buff, vieny arms.

Wednesday morning on The Early Show, celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson addressed the controversy over the 50 year olds bulging biceps that looked like they were literally hanging off her arms. "She's strong, healthy, and gorgeous," Tracy told the reporter when she was questioned about the "scary" arms she had in a photo taken recently.

She denied that the Material Mom was over doing the workout and said that the photos could have been misleading. "She does my method so well - she looks like she's 18," Tracy said as she showed the audience how to work out to achieve the Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow look.

Tracey Anderson has lost her mind. Madonna could not pass as 18 to save her life. I don't think Madonna looks 50, but no one on the planet would mistake her for under 30.

If we want to strive for older lady hotness. Lets look at Tina Turner and Cher as muses. At 62 Tina Turner has a better chance of stealing a man from Beyonce then Madonna at 50.

Tracey Anderson is sell a little more then personal training. She is also sell a load of Bullsh*t to her Celebrity contacts.

Beyoncé Dances to Stay Fit

Beyoncé says:

"I lost a lot of weight naturally, just from 12-hour rehearsals," she explained, attributing her recent weight loss to preparing to tour. "That's a lot of dancing. I would never work out for 12 hours, but I'm able to move around and not think about it. It's part of my job."
I am glad Beyoncé is saying what we all think. You only stay in that kind of shape when it is your job. I would love to look like Mariah Carey but I don't got 12 hours or even 4 hours in my day to be exercising.

Beyonce's Rep: Dress Made Her Look Curvy

"A rep for designer Mugler tells Us the waist on Hall's dress was 23 inches and was reduced to 19 for Beyonce."

I don't think Beyonce looks deformed, but I don't believe for a minute she has a 19 inch waist.
Kate Moss' measurements are 33A-23-34 . This is just another Hollywood delusion they are trying to selling to make me feel bad.

According to IMDB.com Beyonce measurements are 33-26-42.

Becuase if Beyonce has a smaller waist then Kate Moss then I need to kill myself today because I can never reach an "ideal Hollywood" standard.
