Beyonce paid tribute to the victims of the 9/11 attacks:

"We will always remember the beloved lost on September 11, 2001 with love and longing. ❤️"

ABOUT LOVE tells a love story of longing, reunion and a bond that transcends space and time.

Beyonce and Jay-Z were spotted in different places in Italy over the last week.

The stakes were always high when it came to working with Beyoncé. Already a superstar and a three-time Grammy winner as a member of Destiny’s Child, with four Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s under her belt, when she went solo in 2003 with the release of “Dangerously in Love,” she set a dizzying pace right out the gate, boasting two No. 1 hits and selling over five million copies of the album.

With her sophomore release “B’Day,” she knew she had to raise the bar, as both a singer and a visual artist — a given now, as Queen Bey turned 40, but not yet cemented 15 years ago.

Although her self-titled fifth album is the first which Beyoncé directly deemed a visual album, many devotees of the singer consider “B’Day,” released to accompany her Sept. 4 2006 birthday, to be the first true visual representation of her music. That’s largely because, seven months after its release, Beyoncé released the “B’Day Anthology Video Album” DVD, containing 13 music videos.

Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, who produced “World Wide Woman” and the album’s lead single, “Deja Vu,” recalls Beyoncé telling him her initial plans to make a music video for every song on the album. “She was actually watching different people she was thinking about hiring as directors,” Jerkins tells Variety. “When we weren’t recording, she was thinking about all that type of stuff, and I got a chance to see that side of her.”

Jerkins and fellow producer Jon Jon Traxx first came up with the concept for “Deja Vu” while driving to a 7-Eleven before a recording session. Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough” had come on the radio, and having previously worked with Jackson, Jerkins wanted to give Beyoncé something of that caliber.

Beyoncé and JAY-Z are giving back—again. In partnership with Tiffany & Co., the couple's philanthropic initiatives—BeyGOOD and the Shawn Carter Foundation—are launching a new scholarship for students attending five Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

The Tiffany & Co. About Love Scholarship will distribute $2 million among students pursuing the arts and creative fields at the following private and state schools: Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, Norfolk State University in Virginia, Bennett College in North Carolina, University of Arkansas Pine Bluff and Central State University in Ohio.

According to the universities' presidents, this donation will allow students pursuing the arts to devote themselves to their studies. "This opportunity is timely as our students come from many different socioeconomic backgrounds. These funds will have a tremendous on who we recruit and our students’ success as they move on to graduate and professional schools and into their careers," said Dr. Jack Thomas, the President of Central State University, in a statement.

There are a few qualifications for applicants interested in these scholarships. For one, students at these five schools—either current or incoming—must qualify for financial aid, per their university's guidelines. Then, they must be pursuing degrees in creative fields, history, or communications. Priority will be given to students facing financial hardships, and the individual awards amounts will be determined based on individual student's needs.

Prospective applicants should get ready: Online applications will open at each participating school on Friday, September 10, and close on Sunday, September 26 at 11:59 PM ET.

There’s a new song from Beyonce on the way!

The new film King Richard just had it’s first public screening during an event at the 2021 Telluride Film Festival and the audience got to hear the song.

Beyonce‘s original song for the movie King Richard will make her eligible for an Oscar nomination in the Best Original Song category. The film is slated to be a big awards contender, so it seems she might be a shoo-in for a nomination.

The song is titled “Be Alive” and Beyonce is the sole performer listed on the track. She co-wrote the song with DIXSON, who also produced the single.

King Richard will be released on November 19, so the song will seemingly be out no later than that date. Beyonce has not yet been nominated for an Oscar, so this could mark her first one!

While the 2021 Primetime Emmy Awards are still a few weeks away, the trophies have already begun rolling out for some of the past year’s biggest shows.

Beyoncé’s Black is King, The Masked Singer, The Simpsons and Love, Death and Robots are among early winners for this year’s Emmy Awards, as the Television Academy announced juried category honourees in the fields of animation, costume, interactive programming and motion design.

Juried categories are decided by a panel of professionals in the appropriate peer groups with the possibility of one, more than one or no entry being awarded an Emmy. There are no nominees but a one-step evaluation and voting procedure with open discussions of each piece of work.

Outstanding individual achievement in animation was awarded to Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal, The Simpsons and four recognitions for Netflix’s Love, Death + Robots. Costumes for a variety, nonfiction or reality program went to Black is King, The Masked Singer, and Sherman’s Showcase Black History Month Spectacular.

The juried awards will be presented at the 2021 Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which will take place in Los Angeles on September 11 and 12. An edited presentation of the ceremonies will be broadcast on FXX on September 18.

The Primetime Emmy Awards will follow on September 19, hosted by Cedric the Entertainer with a limited in-person audience in downtown Los Angeles.

Beyonce posted birthday messages for Evan Ross, Melissa McCarthy, James Harden and Yolanda Adams.

Glynn Turman spoke to Vanity Fair about how Beyoncé convinced him to participate in the Ivy Park spot.

Vanity Fair: When did you first hear that the new Ivy Park collection was going to be rodeo-themed?

Glynn Turman: Beyoncé, Jay, my wife, and a whole group of us just so happened to be having dinner in Jamaica while on vacation. Beyoncé mentioned that she had some finishing touches she wanted to put on a shoot that she was doing to roll out a new line. It was a rodeo line, and she knew that I’m a cowboy, because actually my grandson rode in her Lemonade . There’s a scene with a horseman. That was my grandson, and we shot that at my ranch. I said, “B, you said you’re not finished, you got some other stuff to do? What are you talking about? You know I got you!” And she said, “Glynn, you know I didn’t want to impose.”

She seems very polite.

Yes, very polite. I said, “Would you stop it! Come on, we’re family.” She thought about it, and a week later she came up with this brilliant idea. Of course, all I thought I was going to do was just saddle the horses for them, and just dust things off and set them on their way. But during the course of it, Tina was like “Glynn, would you try this on, let’s see if this fits you? So I said, “Wait a minute! What’s going on here.” They were just so cool about it.
