jay-z: the man behind the ‘single lady’

how cute can they possibly get? power couple extraordinaire jay-z and beyonce are precious beyond words. and rich. and beautiful. oh yeah, and extremely talented!

rarely do we head the either of them dish on their relationship, but jay-z was less tight-lipped than usual this past weekend. the music mogul let loose on BBC’s friday night with jonathan ross, and crap, he’s kinda funny! watch above… and prepare to giggle.

he says of his wife, “she’s a magnificent performer… i steal routines from her, she stole many things from me. the whole ‘uh-oh’ dance. i started that.” (speakin’ on beyonce’s famous single ladies video). he goes on to say that it was him who choreographed the famous hand flip in the vid! “i actually created that dance. that was me, again.” oh, jay. i’ll believe it when i see it!

the abc’s of fierce

sashabeyoncethe music mogul that is beyonce began capitalizing off her powerhouse vocals long ago. but, like most celebs, it ain’t enough to conquer just one world! beyonce began branching out to all sorts of industries – fragrance, cosmetic - and the list goes on and on.

but the launch of her clothing line in 2004 has been the endeavor in which she’s had the most creative license. mother-daughter team beyonce & tina knowles have designed a lot of the singer’s costumes since she began her career in 1998.  the next step was to take their unique fashion line, house of dereon, public. since the launch it has been relatively successful, but nothing too noteworthy. perhaps they were shooting for the wrong market?

not anymore! beyonce’s third solo album “i am… sasha fierce” has women empowerment written all over it. and nobody flocks to that kind of message more than teenage girls. thus, house of dereon’s latest collection is all about the junior section. sasha fierce for house of dereon will be hitting stores just in time for back to school shopping. mom tina knowles says the line is “edgier and trendier and reflects sasha fierce’s daring and outgoing attitude.” see an example of the line off the to right.

the collection is said to include things like one-shoulder dresses, black bodysuits, fake leather jackets & destructed jeans with mesh and lace details lining the ripped material. i don’t know what kind of high school you went to, but i’m not exactly sure that kinda thing would fly at mine!

in any case, the collection will wholesale from $25-$75, and can be found at macy’s & dillard’s. so ladies, start saving up for that sasha fierce black bodysuit that you’ve always dreamed of!
