Grammy Party Scoop: Beyonce, Scarlett Johansson & More

With the Grammy’s comes gossip. The following is a rundown of some of the more interesting stories to develop throughout the evening of after-parties.

It seems as if Beyonce is a bit worried about the competition and her hold on the market. Many feel that this led her to snub Jennifer Hudson after the Grammys.

A source from the NY Daily News said that “Beyoncé’s handlers did not want Hudson’s name on the guest list for a party she threw with People magazine at Eleven in West Hollywood.”

Beyonce Snaps Up Soul Train Nominations

Beyonce Knowles has made her presence felt, leading the field of nominees announced on February 6th for the 21st annual Soul Train Music Awards. The awards pay respect to the year’s best of soul, R&B and hip-hop.

Two of Beyonce’s three nominations were for her hit single “Irreplaceable,” earning nods for best R&B/soul single and for best R&B/soul or rap music video. Along with these honors, her second solo album, “B’Day,” is up for best female R&B/soul album.

Beyonce Knowles Named Top Fantasy Girlfriend

After disappointingly missing out on an Oscar nomination, Beyoncé Knowles can take comfort in another honor recently bestowed upon her. She has just been named the No. 1 fantasy girlfriend, according to AskMen’s Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2007.

According to msnbc, the 25-year-old singer-actress heads the list, which ranks the “most alluring” female celebrities as determined by its readers and staff. Voters were asked to consider qualities beyond sex appeal and beauty, such as “intelligence, humor, charisma and ambition,” according to AskMen staffers. More than 8.5 million votes were cast.

Beyonce Braves The Cold At Premiere

Beyonce braved freezing temperatures to show off her reknowned figure, wearing a strapless dress at the London premiere of Dreamgirls on Sunday, January 22nd.

The singer-and-actress dazzled on the red carpet in a glowing, sequinned gown put together by top fashion designer Elie Saab.

However, Beyonce admitted that she was not planning on wearing the revealing outfit all night. This was a good idea, as the temperature in London’s Leicester Square plummeted towards zero. It was actually surprising that she wore the outfit even for the brief amount of time which she did.

Meanwhile, she said: “I’m not wearing it for long, but it’s worth the pain.”

Beyonce Sympathizes With Whitney Houston

Pop singer Beyonce is sympathetic towards the regularly troubled singer Whitney Houston. She feels so strongly that she does not even want to talk about Whitney’s downfall. The downfall led Whitney, who made huge sums of money, into debt consolidation as a result of her excessive credit card spending and drug addictions.

According to Beyonce, Whitney should not be criticized for her struggles with drug addiction and her marriage breakdown. She added that Houston has had a lot to deal with in her 20-year career in music. Not to mention a crazy husband.

She added: “I think it’s very easy to get yourself into trouble. We live an unrealistic life in a crazy world. The demands are huge and the fallout can be equally big. You can get swept along by events. It is very hard for a woman in the music business to maintain a long-term career. There are demands you cannot even begin to imagine.
