Beyonce announced a new tour date for the Formation Wolrd Tour on August 3 at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona, Spain! Pre-sale for the tickets starts on Friday, April 8, while the general sale starts on Friday, April 15.

“Where’s your park?”

That’s Beyoncé talking in the motivational video about her new activewear brand Ivy Park, the fruit of a joint venture between the global superstar and retail tycoon Sir Philip Green. The stand-alone brand with 200 styles will land April 14 in more than 12 retailers in 50 countries worldwide including Topshop, topshop.com, Zalando, Net-a-porter.com, Selfridges and Hudson’s Bay.

The collection is aimed at women who love to sweat — whether they’re running, lifting, yoga stretching or kickboxing — and who equate physical strength and well-being with happiness. The pieces are meant to fit like a second skin, with built-in support and robust wicking fabrics that are designed to last.

On Thursday, the singer revealed the Ivy Park name, uploading a video of herself on YouTube wearing some of the pieces. On Instagram, she posted an image of herself suspended from a series of hoops in a gym.

The video — which should bring some viewers to tears — features Beyoncé working out in a leafy park and a gym, with a voiceover by the singer talking about how her daily workouts help her stay balanced, feel good, and kick stress.

In a rare in-depth interview, Beyoncé talks exclusively to ELLE about freedom, feminism, how her new fashion line, Ivy Park, helps women love their bodies, and more. Stay tuned for a sneak peek of the May cover story and photos coming on Monday. You can get the digital edition on April 5th by subscribing now. You can also enter to win a trip to New York to see the Formation Tour. Start looking for the May issue at newsstands on April 6th.

Topshop announces the arrival of Ivy Park – a new activewear and athleisure brand co-founded by Beyoncé, available in store and online on 14 April. Mixing high performance technical sportswear with fashion-led casualwear, Ivy Park empowers women through sport – no matter what your sporting ability or body shape. The collection centres on a core of sports staples: leggings in three rises, crop tops, drop arm tees, sweatshirts and technical jackets. All products can be mixed to create your personal sportswear uniform.

"When I'm working and rehearsing I live in my workout clothes, but I didn't feel there was an athletic brand that spoke to me," Beyoncé said in a statement. "My goal with Ivy Park is to push the boundaries of athletic wear and to support and inspire women who understand that beauty is more than your physical appearance. True beauty is in the health of our minds, hearts and bodies. I know that when I feel physically strong I am mentally strong and I wanted to create a brand that made other women feel the same way."

The collection includes over 200 pieces of sportswear – from clothing and footwear to accessories – across dance, fitness and sports categories. Prices will range from $30 to $200.

UPDATE: Hillary Clinton's spokesperson denied the news.

Hillary Clinton recently paid a visit to the Queen … Bey, that is!

"Beyonce was filming a video and Hillary made a surprise visit to the set" on Thursday, March 24, in L.A., a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly.

The insider could not reveal if the Democratic front-runner, 68, scored an on-screen cameo, but a second insider confirms Beyonce, 34, is currently working on an album, complete with music videos. (The album is likely to drop in April.)

By the next morning, Clinton had returned to the campaign trail, setting her sights on the goal she laid out in December.

"I want to be as good a president as Beyonce is a performer," she said when asked at an Iowa town hall if she'd rather be Beyonce or president.

No doubt securing a permanent spot in the hive, the presidential hopeful had high praise for the pop star at the event: "You see her on TV, it's impressive; you see her in person, you're just stunned. Thinking like, ‘How does she do that?’ Really. I mean, she's singing, she's up and she's down. She's just amazing."

The admiration is mutual. Last May, Beyonce attended a Hillary Clinton fundraiser event in NYC. Although the mom of Blue Ivy, 4, with husband Jay Z supported Barack Obama in the 2008 and 2012 presidential races, now she wants her girl Hillary to run the world.

Beyonce has the ability to “make you forget she’s a superstar”, according to songwriter Carla Marie Williams. The music professional has been working with the R&B legend on her upcoming album. She has written a track for the record, which is top secret, but promised fans they will be blown away by Beyonce’s musical transformation on her next offering.

“When I’m in the studio with Beyonce she makes you feel so at ease you forget she is a superstar. I am loving where she is going. ”I haven’t heard the whole album but we’re talking real issues. The new single we’ve done is very powerful.”

Carla has previously worked with the likes of Kylie Minogue and Paloma Faith in the past and she is now collaborating with Britney Spears.

After revealing last November their plans for a partnership, US singer Beyonce and British retail tycoon Phillip Green revealed on Wednesday that their upcoming active wear collection is to be named Ivy Park.

Aiming to celebrate both physical and mental health and wel-lbeing, the collection has been designed with ‘strength', ‘wellness' and ‘health' in mind.

Although images of the collection are yet to be unveiled, from details released so far we can expect an empowering collection that "offers product for all women of all body types, all sizes, and all price-points," which will encourage women to make sport an everyday and enjoyable part of their lives, and lead them to feel good about their bodies on both the inside and out.

The collection is due to launch in Spring 2016.

After more than 10 years, Destiny's Child is back at No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart. Meanwhile, Brandy reigns after seven years.

"The Girl Is Mine," by 99 Souls featuring Destiny's Child and Brandy, rises 2-1 on the chart (dated March 5). The track is a mash-up of Destiny's Child's "Girl," a No. 5 Dance Club Songs, and No. 23 Billboard Hot 100, hit in 2005, and Brandy and Monica's "The Boy Is Mine," which led the Hot 100 for 13 weeks in 1998.

Destiny's Child scores its fourth Dance Club Songs topper, Brandy her third and British house duo 99 Souls its first. Destiny's Child had last led with "Soldier" (featuring T.I. and Lil Wayne) in February 2005. Brandy had last topped the chart with "Long Distance" in March 2009. Notably, the three principal Destiny's Child members have all hit the summit as soloists: Beyonce (22 No. 1s), Kelly Rowland (three) and Michelle Williams (one).

Remixes from Chris Lorenzo, Crookers, and Danny Howard, among others, helped "Girl" grab the No. 1 spot.

#TeamGARAGE and Beyoncé got in FORMATION for Issue Noº10, collaborating with inimitable artist Urs Fischer on an exclusive set of portraits.

In this special Noº10 Issue, GARAGE worked with the internationally renowned artist, Urs Fischer, to deliver a sharp collection of portraits with global icon, Beyoncé.

The story continues with exclusive words from Beyoncé herself, soon to be activated within the GARAGE Mag App upon scanning Page 70.

Stay tuned for the big reveal.

Hits Daily Double reports the following: "Beyoncé is close to making a new worldwide, multi-album deal with Sony Music, and the final release under the current deal is now set for April. But there are rumors of another Beyoncé album in 2016, this one a joint project with husband Jay Z."

The are also rumors that the singer will release a movie along with the new album and that an alternate version of the "Formation" music video has been filmed!

The Pepsi Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show just got way more exciting.

As if it wasn't enough that Beyoncé dropped a brand new song and music video on Saturday, sources confirm to ET that the singer will be performing the surprise single, titled "Formation," on Sunday during the Pepsi Halftime Show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Judging from what we've already seen in the music video, which was released on the 34-year-old singer's website, we can already tell it's going to be epic.

Beyonce.com was updated with behind the scenes photos and animations from the "Formation" music video. To celebrate the release of the single, new collection was made available at the Beyonce Shop. Check it out!

Beyonce premiered the music video for her new single "Formation"! Go to tidal.com to download the track for free and check out the lyrics under the cut! The singer also created a playlist inspired by the song. Listen here!

Beyonce's Parkwood Entertainment company is getting an overhaul, with longtime GM Lee Anne Callahan-Longo leaving the company after five years, along with several other principals and staff members.

The move is part of a shift for the company as sources say Beyonce is relocating Parkwood's headquarters from New York to Los Angeles, where she spends the majority of her time. Parkwood's head of digital Lauren Wirtzer-Seawood left the company to join Instagram in November 2015 -- former Pledge Music executive Dan Ghosh-Roy took on that role in December -- and Callahan-Longo left before the end of the year. Steve Pamon, who ran the sports and entertainment marketing department at JP Morgan Chase since 2011, also came aboard as Chief Operating Officer in December as remaining staff began shifting to the West Coast.

Pamon was responsible for Chase Bank's sponsorship deal for Beyonce and Jay Z's On The Run stadium tour in 2014, which brought in an estimated 850,000 fans and grossed more than $100 million. He'll be tasked with running the day to day operations for Parkwood moving forward.

“Last year, Parkwood Entertainment created new departments and recruited new executives from the tech, business and entertainment sectors who joined the team to help grow Parkwood and its interests," Beyonce's rep Yvette Noel-Schure said in a statement provided to Page Six -- which also reported that former Warner Bros. Records exec Peter Thea is now working at Parkwood -- adding that senior staff were offered a chance to "reposition and stay on," while others decided to leave the company. "Lee Anne Callahan-Longo has worked with Beyonce for the last 10 years. Their friendship supersedes business, and while she is no longer an employee of Parkwood, she will remain an imperative part of Beyonce’s life."

Beyonce has one album remaining on her current deal with Columbia, but has been relatively quiet on the music front outside of a guest appearance on Coldplay's December LP A Head Full of Dreams. She's scheduled to join the band during its halftime set at the Super Bowl this Sunday, Feb. 7.

Beyonce's reps declined further comment.

Coldplay won't perform 'Hymn For The Weekend with Beyonce at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show.

The 'Single Ladies' singer provided uncredited guest vocals on the group's latest single, and though she'll be joining them on stage at the sporting spectacular on Sunday (02.07.16), it won't be on that track as the band feel it is too new.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday (02.04.16), frontman Chris Martin said: "It only just came out, so I don't think it would be quite right. We love Beyonce's music. She's one of our all-time favourites, and she's one of the greatest performers I've ever witnessed.

Everyone who does this show knows it's the biggest honour."

Super Bowl's Greatest Halftime Shows, a two-hour special highlighting the best performances during the Super Bowl halftime shows, is set to air on CBS on Friday, February 5 at 9pm EST. The show will include performances and new interviews from the likes of Beyonce, U2, Bruno Mars and Katy Perry! Watch the commercial below.


In related news, Beyonce will reportedly attend the Super Bowl 50 Halftime Press Conference, which will take place on Thursday, February 4 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The event will be televised at 12:15 PM on the NFL Network.
