MeLo-X (whose real name is Sean Rhoden) is a musician, D.J. and multimedia artist with tastemaking cred in hip-hop and the fine arts. He has collaborated with Beyoncé, including on her 2014 On the Run Tour with Jay Z. His photographs and films have been displayed at the Sean Kelly Gallery in Chelsea.

After honing his D.J. skills with amateur mixtapes, MeLo-X was hired in 2009 to be tour D.J. for Theophilus London. At the same time, he began making unauthorized remixes of albums, which he would interpret with his ambient and serrated electronic sound. His remix of Beyoncé’s 2014 album, which he called “Yoncé-X,” caught the pop star’s attention; she asked him to collaborate on her next tour. “She liked how I deconstructed the music and the way that I time-stretched her voice, pitched things down,” Melo-X said.

His collaboration with Beyoncé continues. He can’t say much, but he is working on behind-the-scenes clips and short films for Beyoncé’s YouTube channel and website. “Beyoncé is god to many,” he said. “Maybe to me, too, but I won’t let her know.”

French choreographer Zack Reece posted about a casting for an upcoming project with Beyonce! Check out the original message in French below.

Tycoon Sir Philip Green’s Arcadia retail empire is gearing up to unveil its long-awaited fashion range with pop star Beyoncé.

The confirmation that Parkwood Topshop Athletic, a joint venture with the singer, will launch its new athletic-streetwear brand in April 2016 comes as the group posted a profit rise despite “challenging times”.

Green told the Standard the range will be sold in some 20 countries.

Coldplay collaborations can be a shocker (see: “Lost” featuring Jay Z and the Chris Martin and Kanye West duet "Champion"). But the four-piece British rock group are flipping the script for their forthcoming farewell album, A Head Full of Dreams.

Frontman Chris Martin recently opened up to The Wall Street Journal about the group’s track featuring Beyonce called “Hymn on the Weekend,” a song that was born out of his desire to create a club track.

“The original kernel was that I was listening to Flo Rida or something, and I thought, it’s such a shame that Coldplay could never have one of those late-night club songs, like “Turn Down for What.” What would we call it if we had one?,” said Martin.

“I thought I’d like to have a song called 'Drinks on Me' where you sit on the side of a club and buy everyone drinks because you’re so f---ing cool," he continued. "I was chuckling about that, when this melody came -- 'drinks on me, drinks on me' -- then the rest of the song came out. I presented it to the rest of the band and they said, 'We love this song, but there’s no way you can sing "drinks on me."' So that changed into 'drink from me' and the idea of having an angelic person in your life. Then that turned into asking Beyonce to sing on it.”

Beyonce attended a script reading for a Parkwood Entertainment feature film in Los Angeles on Monday night. Actor Jorge Ortiz tweeted the following:

"A picture of #Beyonce & I after last night’s #FeatureFilm script reading. Elegant and a class act"

"I’m about to enter the #BeyHive. Acting in a #FeatureFilm stage reading for the one and only in just a few seconds."

"The #FeatureFilm stage reading went great tonight! We entered the #BeyHive and did her proud."

Coldplay have announced the release of their seventh album, A Head Full of Dreams, which will feature a guest appearance from Beyonce! The record is scheduled for release on December 4. Pre-order the album on iTunes!

UPDATE: Beyonce is reportedly featured on two songs: "Hymn For The Weekend" and "Up And Up"!

Everyone already knows Beyoncé is one hell of a singer, but now we’ll get to see if she’s one hell of a lip-syncer, too: EW has learned that Beyoncé will cameo on Spike TV’s Lip Sync Battle in the battle against Channing Tatum.

Lip Sync Battle first premiered back in April, and went on to become a ratings success. That season included competitions between stars including Broad City’s Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt, and Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson.

Along with Beyoncé and Tatum, the second season will also feature a battle between Marvel actors Hayley Atwell and Clark Gregg. Although this specific episode doesn’t yet have a specific air date, the series returns for its second season in 2016.

In honor of World Humanitarian day, we’ve brought back the opportunity to #BeyGOOD and support the children of Haiti!

In May 2015, on a humanitarian trip to the island of Haiti, Beyoncé visited local programs in a personal capacity to continue her support of previously funded programs and to learn more about humanitarian activities.

While on location, Beyoncé visited the Saint Damien Hospital in Tabarre. Funded completely through private contributions to NPH worldwide, St. Damien provides high quality medical treatment for disadvantaged and sick children in Haiti and has associated public health and community programs that reach more than 90,000 children and adults annually.

To say that everything Beyoncé touches turns to gold would certainly be to state the obvious, but today’s exciting news is quite a literal interpretation of this idea. We’ll get right to the point: We’ve been chosen by Beyoncé (one of our absolute favorite CR stars!) to exclusively announce her new collaboration with Flash Tattoos, the jewelry-inspired temporary tattoo company solely responsible for launching the metallic tattoo craze. In this powerful photo series corresponding with today’s announcement, Beyoncé herself models the ‘Beyonce’ pack of gold and black tattooable jewelry that she creatively directed and co-designed with the famed brand.

Beyoncé’s tattoo-laden, yet rawly captured photoshoot took place in a private studio after she styled herself in the product as she saw fit; As you scroll through, note all of the intricate details and let them inspire you to craft your own version of ink-like adornment (or proceed to copy Beyoncé directly, as she’s clearly done an expert job).

The collaboration will offer options that range from honeycomb cuffs and Beyhive-centric designs to Bey’s most powerful lyrics in the form of a sexy, tattoo script, letting you metaphorically belt out Bey’s lyrics (“I woke up like this,” or “Pretty Hurts") in a distinctly new way. The collaborative curation will be made available in 5 sheets of tattoos—57 individual pieces altogether—to be worn separately or, as Beyoncé has often done in the past, layered atop one another to create an entirely new look.

Alas, we must not fail to mention that today's stripped down visuals of Beyoncé in her designers are available to purchase right now at flashtat.com. We suggest you arrive before your fellow Beyhive members beat you to it.
