¡Michael Blackson tiene una explicación para la reciente apariencia de Beyoncé!, y básicamente tendría que ver con Jay-Z.

De acuerdo con la perspectiva de Mike, Jay quería ver algo diferente en la cama luego de tanto tiempo de matrimonio por lo que se cambió al rubio platinado. Estilo que mostró hace poco en el estreno de Renaissance, el cual estuvo lleno de estrellas a principios de esta semana.

Es solo una teoría, pero Michael tiene algo de razón, engañar a Bey es imposible, ¡así que un poco de juego de roles para animar las cosas es lo mejor!

El nuevo look de Beyoncé provocó comparaciones con Kim Kardashian e incluso acusaciones de blanqueamiento de la piel, pero Mike está archivando eso bajo una de las cosas más ridículas que ha oído jamás.

Tina Knowles también lo hizo y salió en defensa de su hija arremetiendo verbalmente contra cualquiera que mantuviera la narrativa del "blanqueamiento".

Bromas aparte, Michael señala cómo la marca de la diva siempre ha estado "orgullosa de ser negra", después de todo, ¡esta es la misma mujer que pisoteó coches de policía para Black Lives Matter y rindió homenaje a las Panteras Negras durante su actuación en la Super Bowl 2016!

Beyoncé no está dejando que los haters opaquen su brillo y se está volviendo aún más rubia frente a las acusaciones de que intenta parecer blanca, y Jay-Z la está apoyando.

La cantante está redoblando su rubio platinado y el uso de sus atuendos de plata en Londres, donde está celebrando el estreno de su película "Renaissance".

Beyoncé ha sido perseguida por diversas acusaciones de que está intentando "parecer blanca" con su pelo platinado, pero ella no está prestando atención si nos basamos en lo que llevaba puesto para cenar con su marido.

Tienen que ver el vestido super único de Beyoncé, si es que podemos llamarlo vestido. El diseño es extra pesado en plata, brillo y bling.

Mientras tanto, Jay se la jugó por un estilo más tradicional, vistiendo un esmoquin.

En cuanto a la controversia, todo comenzó cuando Beyoncé fue vista con un vestido plateado y el pelo platinado durante el estreno de su película en Los Ángeles. Muchos usuarios en línea alegaron que ella se estaba aclarando la piel.

Los comentarios no sentaron nada bien a Tina Knowles, quien tachó a los haters de racistas y defendió el look de Beyoncé como parte de la temática del estreno de "Renaissance", la que gira en torno al plateado.

Beyoncé is not letting haters dim her shine ... she's going even lighter in the face of accusations she's trying to look white ... and Jay-Z's supporting her.

The singer is doubling down on her platinum blonde hair and silver outfits across the pond in London ... where she's celebrating her 'Renaissance' movie premiere.

Beyonce's been dogged by accusations she's trying to “look white“ with her platinum hair ... but she‘s paying it no mind, based on what she wore out to dinner with her husband.

Ya gotta see Beyonce's super unique dress ... if you can call it that ... the design is extra heavy on silver, shine and bling.

Meanwhile, Jay is in a more traditional look for the fancy outing ... he's rocking a tuxedo.

As for the controversy, it all started when Beyonce was seen in a silver dress and platinum hair during the L.A. premiere of the movie ... with folks online going so far as to claim she's lightening her skin.

The comments didn't sit well with Tina Knowles ... she blasted the haters as racist bozos, defending Beyonce's look as part of the theme of her 'Renaissance' premier ... which is all about silver.

Flavor Flav is all for Harvard University's Taylor Swift course, noting he's 100% open to enrolling ... and acknowledging he's reached super-fandom.

The Public Enemy rapper spoke to TMZ Hip Hop in NYC outside of ABC Studios Thursday where he listed off the many reasons why the English Department at Harvard will win big with the course, "Taylor Swift and Her World."

Professor Stephanie Burt is prepping the TS coursework to be taught for the upcoming spring semester and Flav tells us it's the perfect course for him and other artists.

Flav says he's actively studied Taylor's lyrics which ultimately birthed his fan club membership card -- which got the platinum stamp during the "Eras" tour in earlier this year.

Flav thinks Taylor's music is completely relatable -- just as much as Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige's -- but he isn't just sizing TS up against other singers.

Jake Paul wanted to make his Tyron Woodley fight in 2021 extra "Cleveland" by having Kid Cudi perform at the big event in his hometown ... but he says there was just one issue that kept it from happening -- the rapper's "astronomical" asking price.

The Problem Child revealed his failed plans during his "BS With Jake Paul" podcast this week ... when his conversation with guest Rich Paul led to the fellow Northeast Ohio native.

Jake brought up how he personally thinks Cudder doesn't have much Cleveland pride ... which is pretty uncommon for anyone from the area.

The boxer used one of his own experiences to back his stance ... saying, "I tried to get him to perform at the Tyron Woodley fight just before I came out [to the ring], and he asked for like, an astronomical fee that was like, 'F*** you.'"

Jake explained while he understands people have their price, he thought the moment would have meant much more to the city than any check he could write out to Cudi.

"I get it, but it's like, this was like some s*** to tap in back with the city. Like, first event back from Covid."

Jake's cohost, Jasper, defended Cudi ... saying if the roles were reversed, the YouTube superstar would charge his usual appearance fee, too.

But, Jake says that's simply not true ... claiming he always gives a hometown discount to anyone from the area -- even doing some things pro bono.

T.I. stood on business with all ten toes after a club attempted to capitalize off his viral spat with his son, King ... letting the owners of the establishment know he came to shut the party down!!!

Tip and King had been previously scheduled to appear at Atlanta's Elleven45 Lounge for its "R&B Wednesdays" but just one day before the event, the rapper learned a flyer to promote the event included a photoshopped image of Tip holding King in a headlock.

The image was meant to poke fun at King flipping out on his parents during Sunday's Atlanta Falcons game inside the Mercedes-Benz Stadium suites over claims he grew up more rugged than he actually did.

T.I. confronted everyone at Elleven45 Lounge, letting them know it wasn't cool, and threatened the whole appearance would be cut unless things changed.

In his outrage, Tip stated the city of Atlanta was still his -- and regardless if the club honchos were homegrown or outsiders, they'd abide by his rules!!!

Turns out, Tips' fury worked ... because the club promoter changed the flyer and the event went on as planned Wednesday.

T.I., King and Domani all pulled up to the event, and all looked to be well with the fam bam.

T.I. se alteró luego de que un club trató de sacar provecho de su disputa viral con su hijo, King, haciéndole saber a los propietarios del establecimiento que vino a cerrar la fiesta.

Tip y King habían sido previamente programados para aparecer en Elleven45 Lounge de Atlanta para su "R & B Miércoles", pero solo un día antes del evento, el rapero se enteró de que un volante para promover el evento incluía una imagen de Tip sosteniendo a King con una llave de cabeza.

La imagen estaba destinada a burlarse de King, atacando a sus padres durante el partido de los Atlanta Falcons del domingo dentro de las suites del Mercedes-Benz Stadium, sobre las afirmaciones de que creció más robusto de lo que realmente lo hizo.

T.I. se enfrentó a todos en Elleven45 Lounge, haciéndoles saber que no estaba bien, y amenazó con cortar toda la aparición a menos que las cosas cambiaran.

En su indignación, Tip declaró que la ciudad de Atlanta seguía siendo suya, y que independientemente de si los responsables del club eran de la ciudad o de fuera, ¡se atendrían a sus reglas!

Resulta que la furia de Tips funcionó, porque el promotor del club cambió el volante y el evento se llevó a cabo como estaba previsto el miércoles.

Taylor Swift has officially returned the favor to Beyoncé ... showing face at Queen Bey's "Renaissance" movie premiere in London.

The pop star was all glamor, with a glittering strapless gown, wavy hair and red lipstick ... hitting the carpet before Beyoncé arrived.

Of course, when she showed up, Queen Bey had fans in a frenzy ... wearing a sparkling black dress -- she also had 11-year-old daughter Blue Ivy by her side.

Tay and B made the most of their night out in the British capital ... posing for professional red carpet snaps, Taylor also took selfies with die-hard fans.

The "Karma" singer was clearly thrilled to be at the event, proving that even though her relationship with BF Travis Kelce was gaining momentum ... she was willing to ditch him in Kansas City to champion her pal on her big night.

It was only a few weeks ago when Beyoncé showed up to Taylor's "Eras" tour movie premiere in Los Angeles ... so there was a big suspicion Taylor would do the same.

Taylor Swift le ha devuelto oficialmente el favor a Beyoncé, apareciendo en persona para el estreno de la película de Queen Bey "Renaissance" en Londres.

La estrella del pop lució muy glamorosa, con un vestido brillante y sin tirantes, el pelo ondulado y lápiz labial rojo, paseando por la alfombra roja antes de que llegara Beyoncé.

Por supuesto, cuando apareció Queen Bey sus fans se volvieron locos. Ella lució un vestido negro brillante, así como su hija de 11 años, Blue Ivy, quien estuvo a su lado.

Tay y B aprovecharon al máximo su noche en la capital británica posando para las fotos profesionales de la alfombra roja. Taylor también se tomó selfies con sus fans más acérrimos.

La cantante de "Karma" estaba claramente encantada de estar en el evento, demostrando que a pesar de que su relación con Travis Kelce estaba ganando impulso, ella estaba dispuesta a dejarlo en Kansas City para apoyar a su amiga en su gran noche.

Fue hace solo unas semanas cuando Beyoncé apareció en el estreno de la película "Eras" en Los Ángeles, así que había una gran sospecha de que Taylor haría lo mismo.

Teairra Marí says she's done with Keri Hilson's passive-aggressive attitude and wants to get fully aggressive -- as in serving Keri with a first-class butt kickin' for years of talking behind her back!!!

The R&Beef sizzled on Thursday when Teairra got wind of Keri's chat on Tank's podcast last month.

Keri recalled a time the Teairra was sitting in the front row at one of her concerts and was feeding her toxic "I-don't-wanna-be-here" energy while she was onstage.

The "Pretty Girl Rock" singer says it's important for artists to give one another love during performances, and Teairra was doing the complete opposite.

Teairra didn't take kindly to Keri's recollection of events, and then wrote a fiery threat in the "The Neighborhood Talk" comment section ... "Y'all, people gotta leave me alone. I don't bother anybody, just leave me the f*** alone.! so now, Keri! what's up you wanna fight or do you not want to fight because I'm gonna whoop your ass when I see you I'm sick of you people bothering me! You had a whole different story when I was in your face you're a liar bitch!!"

This battle probably won't be settled with the standard Verzuz setup. Teairra sounds like she wants to inflict pain on Keri by any means necessary!!!

Lynne Spears appears to be doing her shopping on a budget ... buying from Dollar General after claims she's been selling Britney's belongings to stay afloat financially.

Lynne was spotted wheeling a shopping cart filled with items out of the discount store in Britney's hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana earlier this week.

There's a lot being made about Lynne's finances these days, though she's strongly denied claims she's been hawking Britney's clothes, hats and shoes in a Kentwood consignment shop.

It's interesting to see Lynne doing some shopping at Dollar General, but it's worth noting she's also got a designer purse in the store's bright yellow shopping cart ... and eventually unloads her goods into a white Mercedes.

Earlier this month, the Daily Mail published an article with a family source claiming Lynne has spent the last 5 years selling Britney's clothes and accessories from tour performances, her personal wardrobe and appearances on TV and award shows.

Lynne vehemently denied the report on social media ... posting a picture with some of Britney's clothes and the caption, "I would never sell my daughter's things. Get your facts straight @dailymail."

As we reported ... in her new memoir, Britney accuses Lynne of trashing her collection of antique dolls and personal journals, with Lynne denying the allegations.

Lynne Spears parece estar haciendo sus compras con cuidado de no gastar mucho en Dollar General, todo esto luego de las afirmaciones de que ha estado vendiendo las pertenencias de Britney para mantenerse a flote financieramente.

Lynne fue vista con un carrito de supermercado lleno de artículos fuera de la tienda de descuento en la ciudad natal de Britney de Kentwood, Louisiana, a principios de esta semana.

Se está hablando mucho de las finanzas de Lynne estos días, aunque ella ha negado rotundamente las afirmaciones de que ha estado vendiendo ropa, sombreros y zapatos de Britney en una tienda de consignación de Kentwood.

Es interesante ver a Lynne haciendo las compras en Dollar General, pero vale la pena señalar que tiene un bolso de diseñador en el carrito de la tienda de color amarillo brillante. finalmente, descarga sus mercancías en un Mercedes blanco.

A principios de este mes, el Daily Mail publicó un artículo con una fuente de la familia afirmando que Lynne ha pasado los últimos 5 años vendiendo ropa y accesorios de las actuaciones de la gira de su hija, incluyendo su vestuario personal y apariciones en programas de televisión y premios.

Lynne negó vehementemente el informe en redes sociales, publicando una foto con algunas de las prendas de Britney y la leyenda: "Nunca vendería las cosas de mi hija". "@dailymail debería dejar de mentir".

Como informamos, en su nuevo libro de memorias Britney acusa a Lynne de destrozar su colección de muñecas antiguas y diarios personales. Cosa que Lynne niega.

Lil Nas X dice que está entrando en la "era cristiana" de su carrera y quiere que los fans lo tomen realmente en serio su última transición, a pesar de que su pasado diga lo contrario.

El rapero lanzó un nuevo fragmento de una canción en sus redes sociales el jueves para destacar su incursión en el cristianismo, con letras como "Padre estira mis manos" y referencias a los caminos solitarios.

Su camiseta también llevaba la cita: "Si Dios no existe, entonces ¿quién se ríe de nosotros?".

Los fans no estaban muy seguros si se trataba de un clásico trolleo de Lil Nas X. Recordemos, LNX ha afirmado estar embarazada para promocionar su nuevo álbum, y la transición en una mujer - que más tarde emitió una disculpa a la comunidad trans.

¡Los Holy Rollers no dejarían que el Sr. Old Town Road olvidara que una vez promocionó las zapatillas Nike Satanás de imitación para vender su álbum!

Lil ladró de vuelta con fuego y azufre y defendió su expresión artística, así como su derecho a ser gay de rodillas, un vaquero o satánico... solo Dios puede juzgarlo.

Lil Nas X says he's entering the "Christian era" of his career, and wants fans to take him seriously with his latest move, though the whole thing reeks of another troll job by the rapper.

On Thursday, LNX released a somber new song snippet and visual on his social media to highlight his foray into Christianity, complete with lyrics like "Father stretch my hands" and references to feeling isolated.

His shirt also captioned the quote, "If God Doesn't Exist Then Who's Laughing At Us?"

Fans weren't convinced it wasn't a classic Lil Nas X troll job ... remember, LNX has claimed to be pregnant to promote his new album, and transitioning into a woman -- for which he later issued an apology to the trans community.

Holy rollers wouldn't let Mr. Old Town Road forget he once promoted faux Nike Satan shoes to sell his album!!!

LNX barked back with fire and brimstone and defended his artistic expression ... as well as his right to be gay on his knees, a cowboy or satanic ... only God can judge him!!!

21 Savage has been soaking up everything London has to offer during his homecoming -- for instance, he was the guest of honor at last night's Arsenal game!!!

The superstar rapper was honored in front of thousands at Emirates Stadium ahead of the match, where he was presented with his own ‘21’ Savage Arsenal jersey.

Arsenal throttled Lens 6-0 and to make 21's homecoming that much sweeter, the rapper's team tells us the stadium followed up by blasting his "Circo Loco" track with Drake ... and cued it to 21's lyrics, “Still gotta see the Gunners win Premier League!”

21 also met with Arsenal star Emile Smith Rowe after the game ... a helluva buildup for his sold-out show tonight at the famed O2 Arena!!!

The show will mark 21's first-ever London headlining performance ... having gotten his immigration issues cleared up and his U.S. citizenship this past October after several years in limbo.

We're told 21 will be back stateside in time for plenty of holiday giveaways in the Atlanta area.

Beyoncé is responding to haters who think she's intentionally lightening her skin ... by keeping the spotlight on her blonde ambition for a night out with Jay-Z, Tom Cruise and Henry Cavill.

Bey's platinum locks were front and center as she and Jay left London's Oswald's Private Club -- but, her complexion was certainly darker than it was in the shots of her at last weekend's "Renaissance" movie premiere.

The famous foursome's power dinner came the night before the London premiere of "Renaissance," so we're guessing Tom and Henry are showing their support ... but ya gotta wonder who paid? The Carters ARE the billionaire couple.

Beyonce was definitely feeling her fit ... because she posted a fresh set of images, and the Beyhive rallied behind them, suggesting she shared the images, particularly the ones zoomed in on her face, as a direct response to all the online comments about her skin tone.

One fan commented on the new pics with ... "One thing about it my girl she never responds to the haters directly but it's ALWAYS going to be a way she clears without saying a WORD! #BrownSkinGirl."

B was criticized for her movie premiere appearance ... with many taking offense to her lightened locks and skin tone, and some even accusing her of bleaching her skin.

The backlash was so consuming that B's mother Tina Knowles, jumped to her defense ... denouncing the accusations as stupid, ignorant, self-hating, and racist.
