My Publicist Note Book

Beyoncé and JAY-Z  spent the last four months on the road, making it look like  one long effortless and enjoyable tour run . However, both artists were putting in some serious work and their dedication to perfecting their live show yielded them an astronomical payoff --   Jay-Z and Beyonce collected a massive bag with the "On The Run II" tour. There have been some pretty epic tours this year. Drake and the Migos are currently on the "Aubrey & The Three Migos" tour, Travis Scott is set to embark on his "Astroworld" tour and more. However, one of the biggest tours is undoubtedly Jay-Z and Beyoncé's co-headlining effort, "On The Run II." The tour ended earlier this month after a four-month stretch across the globe and The Carters' concluded their tour with over a quarter billion banked. Jay-Z and Beyoncé wrapped up their four-month world tour with $253.5M's in the bank. The tour kicked off on June 6th in Cardiff, W...

Beyonce and Jay Z's Den The 13,292-square-foot home features an open floor plan and hardwood floors in each of the property's three apartments. In keeping with its opulent owners, a dining room features crimson walls and coordinating tufted-velvet chairs. A finished closet provides ample room for Bey's endless parade of costumes and over-the-top dresses. An intricately detailed vanity occupies a crimson-walled dressing area in the master bathroom. ...

Say it ain't so, B. Did Beyonce lip-sync the "Star-Spangled Banner" at Monday's inaugural ceremonies? A U.S. Marine Band spokeswoman says they are not "in a position to assess."  Captain Kendra N. Motz, Media Officer of the U.S. Marine Band, said the Presidential Inaugural Committee requested they accompany Beyonce in her performance, but "there was no opportunity for Ms. Knowles-Carter to rehearse with the Marine Band before the Inauguration so it was determined that a live performance by the band was ill-advised for such a high-profile event."  "Each piece of music scheduled for performance in the Inauguration is pre-recorded for use in case of freezing temperatures, equipment failure, or extenuating circumstances," Motz said in a statement. "Regarding Ms. Knowles-Carter's vocal performance, no one in the Marine Band is in a position to assess whether it was live or pre-recorded."  However, ea...
