	  <title><![CDATA[Teaser for Beyoncé documentary surfaces]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Back in November, <a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce/view/62382/">HBO confirmed that international superstar Beyonc&eacute; was set to star in and direct a documentary</a> on her own life.</p>
<p>Speaking about the exciting project, a spokesperson for the company recently explained that it "sheds light on her childhood in Houston, with home movies revealing the close bond she built with her family and charts the challenges Beyonc&eacute; felt when she decided to manage her career and build her own company, Parkwood Entertainment."</p>
<p>This new teaser trailer for the documentary begins with Beyonc&eacute; looking directly into the camera and she says, "I always battle with how much I reveal about myself."</p>
<p>At only 25 seconds long, the clip doesn't give much away but it shows footage from her childhood, her pregnancy, live shows and her private life.</p>
<p>The documentary is set to air on February 16, 2013 via HBO.</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Beyonc&eacute; Knowles has shared intimate holiday pictures of her family holiday in the South of France.</p>
<p>The global superstar celebrated her 31st Birthday on a luxury yacht with husband Jay Z and their baby daughter Blue Ivy, in September.

However, the Single Ladies singer has this week posted some family pictures of her September vacation up.</p>
<p>The pictures see Beyonc&eacute; wearing a nautical jumper on-board the yacht, with the initial 'J' embossed on the front.

<p>Solange also revealed what it's like to be the younger sister of one of music's finest acts.</p>
<p>She said: "She's a beautiful person to be compared to... actually [my music] is a whole different sound."</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce" target="_self">Beyonce </a>last night joined her husband <a href="/pg/newsdesk/Jayz" target="_self">Jay-Z </a>on stage for the last of his eight shows at Brooklyn&rsquo;s Barclays Center.</p>
<p>The R&amp;B superstar announced &lsquo;I&rsquo;m so proud to be here&rsquo; as she launched into a solo medley of 'Diva' and 'Crazy In Love' at the new 19,000-seat arena, which is now home to basketball team Brooklyn Nets.</p>
<p>The rap veteran then reprised his guest rap role on the latter 2003 single before giving his wife a playful slap on her backside, adding:&nbsp;"Of course I had to let BK touch the stage in BK-- well BKC now."&nbsp;</p>
<p>The former Destiny&rsquo;s Child star then returned for the night&rsquo;s closing number, taking Mr. Hudson&rsquo;s place by performing the vocals on Jay-Z&rsquo;s 2010 hit, 'Young Forever,' before the pair embraced and exited the stage.&nbsp;</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce" target="_blank">Beyonc&eacute;</a>'s mother has poured cold water over speculation that her daughter is set to have another child.</p>
<p>The superstar singer gave birth to her first child Blue Ivy Carter in January this year and it seems the internet is spreading speculation that another baby could be on the way.</p>
<p>Speaking to Access Hollywood, however, Beyonc&eacute;'s mum Tina Knowles said that whilst a second child is more than likely to be on the cards, it won't be happening any time soon. She said:</p>
<p>"It's gonna happen when it's time, but not right now."</p>
<p>Knowles meanwhile seemingly isn't doing much to help calm the baby conveyor belt, with the new grandmother more than keen for her daughter to reproduce once more. When asked if she wants another grandchild, Tina Knowles said:</p>
<p>"Of course I do! I harass her all the time."</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Beyoncé on family life: 'Both Jay-Z and I love changing diapers']]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Vocal sensation <a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce/newsdesk/">Beyonc&eacute;</a> has opened up about her role as a mother in a brand new interview with Anderson Cooper.</p>
<p>Speaking to the chat show host today (September 10), the 'Halo' superstar explained that she shares parental duties such as feeding and changing diapers with her husband, Jay-Z, because they both love the responsibility:</p>
<p>"Actually, he's very good. We both do [it]. I love changing diapers, I love it. I love every moment of it. It's so beautiful. I really do. I love changing diapers - I love it all."</p>
<p>She also joked about how she sings nursery rhymes to her daughter, Blue Ivy, and added that sometimes she performs her own songs and confuses the baby: "Today was the first time [Blue Ivy] saw me performing in rehearsal - she was very confused."</p>
<p>"I make up actually a lot of crazy, corny songs. [But] I'm not singing it. Unless you do 'Single Ladies'!"</p>
<p>The songstress even admitted that having a baby gave her a distinct sense of purpose, adding: "It just gives you purpose and all of the things that my self-esteem was associated with &mdash; it&rsquo;s all completely different."</p>
<p>"I realized why I was born and more than anything all of the things I want to pass onto my child and the best way of doing that is not by preaching or telling her but showing her by example which is one of the reasons I&rsquo;m here.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The R&amp;B superstar, <a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce/view/54230/" target="_self">who last week called for kindness in a new video promoting the cause</a>, took to the floor of the U.N. General Assembly to sing a rendition of power ballad, &lsquo;I Am Here,&rsquo; a clip of which will be uploaded on her official website on August 19.</p>
<p>After belting out the track from her recent &lsquo;4&rsquo; album, the 30-year-old went on to make a brief speech which referenced the 2003 Iraq terror attack that inspired the UN to set up World Humanitarian Day:</p>
<p>"I'd like to ask everyone to make sure they're a part of August 19th. It's such a beautiful, beautiful day, and I'd like to honor the 22 people who lost their lives. God bless you all. Thank you so much for having me."</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/edit/54230/pg/newsdesk/beyonce" target="_blank">Beyonc&eacute;</a> has made an appearance in a new promotional video for World Humanitarian Day.</p>
<p>The day commemorates humanitarian&nbsp;causes and those who have died working for the humanitarian greater good.</p>
<p>Beyonc&eacute; had <a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce/view/53333/" target="_blank">recently posted a cryptic message on her website</a>, saying: "Leave your footprint on 19th August 2012."</p>
<p>Puzzled fans can now put two and two together after a video was released featuring Beyonc&eacute; to promote this year's&nbsp;World Humanitarian Day, which takes place on August 19.</p>
<p>Beyonc&eacute; calls on viewers to help out other human beings on August 19, no matter how small the act may be. She said:</p>
<p>"On August 19th, 2012, it's high time we rise together. Do one thing for another human being. Nothing is too small. It begins with each of us. Make your mark and say 'I was here'."</p>
<p>The video ends with a clip of Beyonce's song 'I Was Here', which is the tagline for the campaign.</p>
