Beyonce Wins Big At MTV Europe Music Awards
Beyonce Knowles won three awards at the MTV Europe Music Awards last night.
The ‘Sweet Dreams’ singer – who wowed crowds with a performance of her latest track while wearing a skimpy red corset and suspenders – was the most successful star of the night as she was awarded the prize for Best Song for her track ‘Halo’, Best Video for her hit record ‘Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)’ and also scooped the Best Female Singer honor.
The 28-year-old beauty’s win completely overshadowed Lady Gaga, who had been nominated for five awards but only went home with the Best New Act prize.
Ceremony presenter Katy Perry, 25, was so starstruck by the singer-and-actress, she almost “p****d” herself with nerves and excitement when they met.
The ‘I Kissed a Girl’ singer admitted she was terrified about running into the curvy singer and fellow chart-topper Lady Gaga in case they judged her on her skimpy stage outfits and cheeky presenting style.
“I’m totally petrified about what those girls will think, but I’m doing it in my own way, not to be taken too seriously – like everything I do.
“I saw Beyonce and nearly p****d myself – she’s such a force.”
Busty brunette Katy – who changed her outfit 12 times during the ceremony - teased the crowd with a host of sexy anecdotes and at one stage, even joked about the ‘Poker Face’ star – who has been plagued by rumors she is a hermaphrodite. Sitting in a giant, red, glittery stiletto, she said:
“They say if men have big shoes, they have big… The confusing thing is I borrowed this from Lady Gaga!”

Jay Z Says Lil' Mama Pulled A Kanye During The MTV Video Music Awards
While sitting down with Hot 97's Angie Martinez, Jay-Z talked about how upset he was when Lil' Mama rushed the stage during his performance on the MTV VMA's earlier this month.
“I would never do that. I would never have the nerve to do that. We go to rehearsals, we do run-throughs, and we work really hard on the performance to put on a show for people. And to interrupt that moment for us, I don’t think that was the right thing to do.
I actually thought it was the equivalent of what Kanye did to Taylor Swift but nobody really talked about that because I’m not a lil sweet girl from middle America.”
“I’m cool with her being excited and all that, but you also have to understand people put in work to make that performance happen–the planning of it, there's a lot of planning that went into that performance. To disrupt that is out of line.”
“I was a little angry–but what imma do, fight Lil Mama?”
What do you think about what happened? Is it equivalent to what happened between Taylor Swift and Kanye West?

Quote Of The Day: Jay Z On Kanye West
"He's just a super-passionate person. Of course it was rude because it was her (Taylor Swift's) moment but that's the way he really felt. I think it was rude but the way they're treating him... He's on the cover of every paper. He didn't kill anybody. No one got harmed."

Fact Or Fiction: Jay Z Writing A Book Which Includes Details On Beyonce Marriage
What? This doesn't sound like the two of them. Jay Z and Beyonce are always so private!
Jay-Z is planning to tell all about his marriage in a new book.
The ’99 Problems’ rapper is set to pen an autobiography in which he will open up about his life with wife Beyonce Knowles, despite the pair making a pact to not speak about their relationship publicly.
A source said:
“It’s going to cover everything from his days on the streets as a drug dealer to his fairytale wedding to Beyonce. He’ll also be revealing his rapping secrets.”
A spokesperson for the star confirmed plans for the piece, which as yet has no title or release date.
Its release is expected to tie in with his next album, ‘The Blueprint 3’, which is due to come out in September.
The hip-hop star – real name Shawn Carter – previously scrapped plans for an autobiography, saying it would be too personal to write.
Beyonce – who married 39-year-old Jay-Z in secret last April after dating him for around six years – has often credited the pair’s refusal to discuss their relationship as the key to its longevity.
She said:
“I think I have a successful, long-lasting relationship, longer than most people’s in the industry, so I must be doing something right.
“It’s important for people to know that there’s a line you can’t cross in this. It’s real. It’s not like some fairytale that people watch for entertainment – it’s real life and it’s important to keep it to yourself.
“We worked really hard at keeping our wedding private. I've always been this way, and he's always been this way, so that's why we complement each other. We always knew that it would be private and quiet, for all the right reasons."
