Ashley Dickson - Celebrity News Service News Writer
Paris, France (CNS) - Despite their busy schedules, celebrity power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles found time to have a quiet celebration together in Paris to mark Jay-Z's 38th birthday.

After joining Kanye West on stage for a surprise performance in England on December 2nd, Jay-Z headed to the Hotel Meurice in Paris where his longtime "bootylicious" girlfriend joined him for a quiet day of rest and relaxation.

Jay-Z has been known for staging elaborate birthday celebrations in the past but this year opted for a more private affair, spending most of the day in his hotel suite.

According to sources, Knowles took time to hit the hotel's luxury spa before the couple took a romantic limo ride around the city ending at the popular L'Avenue restaurant for dinner.

After a late dinner, Jay-Z and Beyonce headed over to the famed Crazy Horse cabaret where they sipped champagne and watched nude dancers run through the club's latest show, "Forever Crazy."

Jay-Z better boyfriend after father's death


London, Dec 1 - The death of his father has made rapper Jay-Z become a better boyfriend to R&B singer Beyonce Knowles.

The death in 2003 helped him open up emotionally and taught him the importance of dealing with emotional issues, contactmusic.com reported.

He said: 'When I was young, the person I looked up to most was my father, and once I experienced that hurt, the separation from the guy you thought was Superman, you never want to feel that hurt again.'

Jay-Z believes his relationship with Beyonce has improved as a result of his emotional bravery. 'I'm sure she thinks I'm closed off. I'm working on it. Just trying to deal with emotional issues, taking them on proactively. Before, I wouldn't even address it,' he said.

Jay-Z's father had left him when he was just 12 years old and the father and son only reconciled just before the father's death.

Beyonce to Record Country Album

It looks like Beyonce is crazy in love ... with country music. The diva recently performed a country version of 'Irreplaceable' with Sugarland, and has been so inspired by the genre that she enlisted the help of singer-songwriter Amanda Ghost to work on her next album.

"Beyonce wants to try something completely different," a source tells British newspaper The Sun. "She's a fan of country music and thought that would be an interesting and exciting way to go. She contacted Amanda early this week and she is going over to work with her on it".

Ghost has writing credits on James Blunt's hit 'You're Beautiful,' Beyonce and Shakira's 'Beautiful Liar,' and Jordin Sparks' 'Tattoo.'

The Beyonce Experience - Live

When I use the term "diva" in regards to Beyonce, I mean it in the sense that Beyonce, to me, is singularly a force of nature. This is demonstrated best with her latest concert DVD release, "The Beyonce Experience - Live" which arrived in stores Nov. 20. Filmed on Sept. 2 -- her 26th birthday -- during a sold out, standing room only concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, 'Experience' contains more than two hours of music by the pop superstar and cultural icon.
Throughout the elaborate show, Beyonce delivers all she; tears during the poignant ballad 'Flaws & All,' embodying the essence of sensuality on the sexy song 'Speechless'; and demonstrating sheer exuberance and dancing up a storm songs like 'Get Me Bodied,' 'Freakum Dress' and 'Beautiful Liar.' Hands down: this DVD is proof positive that Beyonce IS the "stuff" that entertainment legends are made of. Run to the stores and add a copy to your holiday gift list (for yourself).

London, Nov 21 - American singer Beyonce Knowles is blames her clumsiness and not her clothing for her on stage mishaps.The 21-year-old had famously fallen down a set of stairs during a concert, an outside source reports. But she says accidents happen very often and she can't blame her fashion choices for all of them. She said: 'I recently fell down the stairs because my heel got caught in the hem of my coat. But really, I have fallen down the stairs a lot of times, so I can't only blame it on the coat.'

She puts on a fantastic live show. She is always moving, dancing and singing..mix this with heels ... and HUMAN things happen. She doesn't need to explain it!

Beyonce Goes Bluegrass at the AMAs with Sugarland

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Beyonce went bluegrass in a surprise performance with country band Sugarland at the American Music Awards on Sunday night.

Even Ne-Yo was impressed.

"The bluegrass version," the R&B star said backstage while watching a monitor of Beyonce's performance of her hit "Irreplaceable" with Sugarland. "It ain't bad."

Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles said the idea was hatched by the country duo's publicist because they perform the song in their act.

"A good thing about a good song is it can be played in any genre," she said. "I'm up for anything. I love it."

Nettles said backstage that she was nervous going note-for-note with Beyonce.

"We were face to face, and there were a couple times when she was looking at me and I was blushing because I thought I was going to turn to stone in her beauty," Nettles said. "She is so talented and so grounded."

Nettles' musical partner Kristian Bush was witness to it all.

"I was the luckiest man," he said.

Beyonce Smiles Big in Seoul



Beyonce got a little too made up yesterday to meet some fans and sign autographs at a department store in Seoul. She may be suffering a bit of backlash in Ethiopia, but it looks like they still have plenty of love for B in South Korea. Unfortunately, Jay-Z might be missing his hard-working, world-traveling lady as his album soars this week to #1, but we guess all celebrity couples have to make some sacrifices. Ok maybe the jewelry is a bit too much :).


Beyonce Billboard Upsets Las Vegas Locals

An advertisement featuring a bikini-clad Beyonce Knowles has angered locals in Las Vegas, after they complained the billboard was "obscene." The R&B beauty appears on an advert for the city's KWNZ radio station, but residents in Sin City are petitioning to have the raunchy image taken down.

Resident Pamela Keeney says, "It's obscene. I have my two little grandkids coming over here, and they don't need to be seeing that. You can change the channel on the TV but you can't change that."

But KWNZ has stood by the billboard and has received the backing of city spokesman Chris Good.

Scott Seidenstricker, manager of KWNZ, says, "The billboards were taken from publicity shots and this is the way those people perform. So to show them in a jogging suit probably wouldn't be the right thing."

Good adds, "It complies with all the locational criteria that are set out in our (advertising) code (of conduct)."
