Socialite Nicole Richie is in awe of singer Beyonce Knowles for her fearlessness.

Richie admits she loves how "fearless" Knowles is and "always" checks out what she is wearing, reports contactmusic.com.

"I'm a fan of anybody who is as fearless with their looks as Beyonce is. I'm always excited to see what she's wearing," she said.

"My wardrobe has gone through so many different stages. When I was a kid, there was an odd-socks phase; my mother was too embarrassed to go out with me. When I'm 40, I'll go, 'What was I thinking when I was 30?'," she added.

Beyonce's '4' album 'made more sense' to producer Diplo - who worked on two tracks on it - once he found out she was pregnant.

The producer and his DJ partner Switch worked on two tracks on the album, first single 'Run the World (Girls)' and 'End of Time', and although he was initially confused by why it was such an 'adult' album, he grew to love it.

He exclusively told BANG Showbiz at the launch of Red Bull Culture Clash: 'When it first came out, I wished I had worked on more of the record, but after a year passed I became a huge fan.

'We knew the two records that we did, but when it came out it had all those ballads, and then I realised, it made a lot more sense when I found out she was pregnant.

'In the studio I didn't know really where she was with her attitude but it's a very adult record.

'She's made a lot of dance and club records, but this whole album is a very adult record, and in retrospect I really appreciate it a lot, more than I did when I first heard it.'

The American pop star is chalking out her schedule to make a trip late this year to promote her fashion line House Of Dereon that has been launched in India on the portal www.rock.in. “Beyoncé is keen to come down. The dates and the cities she will visit are still in the planning stage,” says an insider.

Knowles, on her part, can’t wait to get a taste of the country after her last visit in 2007. “I am glad to showcase my collection to the Indian audience. I am very fond of Indian style, in fact during my last visit, I shopped a lot from India. However, I found the food to be very spicy because of the exotic spices,” she says. Suraj Sharma, CEO of the portal confirms the news and says, “We are excited about the association.”

I've had "Shine Ya Light" by Rita Ora on repeat - no doubt you will too.

She's also up for the "Women Who Rock" issue of Rolling Stone!

Bradley Cooper has brushed off rumors he is set to romance Beyonce in a remake of A Star Is Born.

Clint Eastwood will direct a new version of the classic tale with the singeractress in the role of a young star who falls in love with an older musician mentor, following in the footsteps of both Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand.

A number of high-profile leading men have been linked to the project, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Tom Cruise and Will Smith.

The Hangover star Cooper has also been rumored to be in contention, but he insists the story isn't true.

He tells American newspaper the Chicago Sun-Times, "Me in A Star is Born? I have no idea what you're talking about... It is an interesting idea.

"Clint is one of our best directors. Everyone wants to work with him".

The xx guitarist Oliver Sim has revealed aspirations to write a track for Beyoncé.

The musician described the US singer as having the same level of talent and star-power as Michael Jackson and admitted to being overwhelmed when seeing her perform live last year.

"Beyoncé is very special. I think she's important," Sim told Q magazine. "I think the super-pop thing that supposedly died with Michael Jackson is still there, with her.

"I saw her at Glastonbury and I may have shed a tear. Writing a song for her, that's the dream. The full Sasha Fierce."

Sim confessed that he has eaten out with Beyoncé and Jay-Z, but found it hard to speak to them after feeling too star-struck.

"We all went for dinner. There may have been a husband of hers there. I always had a lot of things I wanted to say to her and I completely choked."

Beyoncé is said to be planning a surprise appearance at hubby Jay-Z's forthcoming Made In America festival.

According to The Huffington Post, the music event - which is set to take place over Labour Day weekend in Philadelphia, PA - will include a 'top secret' performance from the former Destiny's Child star on one of the two days.

Speaking of the I Was Here singer's involvement, a source told the newspaper: "Beyoncé will hit the stage in a surprise performance at her hubby's festival next weekend in .

"The performance is top secret but it will be filmed for Jay's documentary about the event. It's going to be epic."

As well as Bey's apparent gig, the likes of Drake, Jill Scott and Skrillex are also expected to take to the stage at the festival, which starts on 1st September.

Filmakers Ron Howard and Brian Grazer will be on hand to shoot the festival, with the footage later being released as a movie.

Rita Ora has said that Jay-Z and Beyonce know all kinds of embarrassing stories about her childhood... because her mum fills them in.

Speaking to The Mirror, the 'How We Do (Party)' hitmaker said that her mother can't resist mortifying her in front of her mentor and his popstar wife.

She said: "My mum is so embarrassing around Jay-Z and Beyoncé. She starts talking about when I was a baby and my nappy rashes!

"When they first met, my mum said to Jay, 'Are you the one who sang you've got 99 problems and a bitch aint one?'

"He said, 'Yeah', and my mum goes, 'You've got the baddest bitch', and points at Beyoncé. After that it was, 'See ya later Rita' and it was all about my mum and Jay."

Rita Ora has claimed that she sees Beyoncé as a big sister.

The How We Do (Party) singer, who is signed to Queen B's hubby Jay-Z's Roc Nation record label, also told Grazia magazine that she is thankful for the support the superstar couple have given her.

Speaking of her relationship with Bey and Jigga, Ora revealed to the publication: "Jay-Z made me feel really relaxed but at the same time, he made me realise I had loads of work to do.

"He's been doing this for years and I've just started. I just hope my career can be as successful as his. He's my musical idol."

She added: "Beyoncé told me, 'Be yourself because we like being around you'. I guess I'm like the little sister."

It is our annual snapshot of women who impact the world.

This year the list features eight heads of state–including our No. 1 German Chancellor Angela Merkel (plus one monarch who just celebrated her Diamond Jubilee), and 25 CEOs who control $984 billion in revenues and 11 billionaires. We feature some dozen entrepreneurs and 10 celebrities who do more than look good: they’re philanthropic do-gooders and entrepreneurial go-getters.

The New Celebrity Role Models: Sure, they’re famous but they deserve special attention for their outside work, be it ambassadors to meaningful causes and or as owners of thriving businesses. Oprah owns Harpo Productions and founded The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls. Lady Gaga (No. 14): she sings, she tweets and now she started The Born This Way Foundation, with funding from Harvard University and the MacArthur Foundation. Joining the efforts of the U.N. are Shakira (No. 40), Angelina Jolie (No. 66) and Gisele Bundchen (No. 83). Beyonce (No. 32) rules the House of Dereon and Sofia Vergara (No. 75) co-owns LatinWE.

Beyoncé and Tina Knowles unveil the campaign for their House of Deréon autumn/winter 2012 collection. Shot by famed international celebrity and fashion photographer, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, the images feature the brand’s muse Beyoncé, wearing several key looks from the autumn/winter ’12 collection.

The much anticipated fall/winter collection was inspired by Beyoncé’s historic performance at the Glastonbury Music Festival last year. The autumn delivery is focused around the ‘boho-inspired girl who attends the festival and includes floor length skirts, casual jersey tops paired with denim that is an homage to the alternative rock bands, their music and eclectic sense of style.

For winter, the inspiration is more focused around Beyoncé’s Glastonbury stage look. This delivery features sequined styles and an intensified color palette that uses strong shades of ruby and amethyst ground with black to create a bold, exciting fashion statement that evokes a luxe party theme and speaks to a rocker in all of us.

Brand co-founder, creative director and designer Tina Knowles said, “I am so excited about this autumn and winter ad campaign. The images of Beyoncé are amazing and we had a lot of fun using the festival experience as our inspiration. Like music, fashion has a universal appeal and we look forward to hearing the consumer’s reaction to the new campaign and to the collection.
