  • No, Aunt Becky From ‘Full House’ Is Not ‘Becky With the Good Hair’

    Everyone is talking about Beyonce’s explosive visual album “Lemonade,” and what seems to be pretty damning evidence that the songstress’s husband, Jay-Z, has cheated on her in the past. But while members of the Beyhive have been swarming lots of potential paramour suspects on social media (including, mistakenly, a similarly-monikered celebrity chef), there’s one pop culture figure who’s here to assure fans that she’s not the “Becky with the good hair” that Beyonce is singing about.

    Full House” (and who recently reprised the role for Netflix spinoff “Fuller House”), shared with fans a photo from her character’s ’90s glory days, which someone had turned into a “Becky with the good hair” meme.

    Wasn’t me. #beckywiththegoodhair #lemonade ????

    Indeed, Aunt Becky looks pretty perfectly-coiffed in the shot (which was most likely taken from an episode centering around her character’s job as the co-host of morning talk show “Wake Up, San Francisco,” based on the business suit and expertly-teased tresses). But, as Loughlin insists in the caption of her post, she’s not the one Queen Bey should be mad at.

    Sure, it’s an easy joke, but it made us laugh nonetheless. We may be no closer to tracking down the true identity of Becky (and honestly, shouldn’t Jay-Z be the one who’s the subject of the internet’s scorn, and not his alleged cheating partner?), but with the creation of silly memes like this, we’re okay with it.

  • Beyonce Fans (Hilariously) Mistake Rachael Ray for Rachel Roy in ‘Becky’ Cheating Scandal

    Poor Rachael Ray. Can you imagine being the celebrity chef on Sunday, just minding your own business when all of a sudden your Instagram is filled with bee and lemon emojis from angry Beyoncé fans vowing to stop eating your tacos? It must’ve been very confusing.

    As you probably know, Beyonce revealed her “Lemonade” short film/visual album Saturday night on HBO. One song lyric seemed to reference her husband Jay Z cheating, with Bey saying, “He better call Becky with the good hair.” That initially just turned into a lot of Becky jokes, and insults to Jay Z, but then fashion designer Rachel Roy got involved.

    There were already rumors that Rachel Roy was the woman behind the whole Met Gala fight with Beyonce’s sister Solange, and Roy further inserted herself in the mix early Sunday morning with a cryptic post that was interpreted by many fans as a confession that she is the good-haired Becky:


    Rachel Roy’s Instagram was flooded with bees, Beyoncé’s “hive” of fans in action. She set her Instagram to private after that, and tweeted a message against bullies:


    But the most unintentionally hilarious thing is how many people thought it was Rachael Ray, not Rachel Roy, and attacked the chef’s profile instead.


    To avoid future confusion, maybe fans should stick to just calling out Jay Z and leave all alleged “other women” out of it.

  • Who Run the World? Watch Channing Tatum and Beyonce on ‘Lip Sync Battle’

    Lip sync BattleWho run the world? Girls. But who run “Lip Sync Battle”? That, without a doubt, has to be Channing Tatum and Beyoncé.

    This week’s “Lip Sync Battle” featured a duel between two Tatums — the actor and his wife, Jenna Dewan Tatum. She started the battle with a fierce, sexy, NSFW simulation of his dance to Ginuwine’s “Pony” in “Magic Mike XXL.”

    But Channing upped the ante by dressing up as Beyoncé for an all-out performance to Beyonce’s “Who Run the World” — complete with wind effects. The guy has moves, as we’ve all seen, but he was really nailing it. Then, the house really came down when Queen Bey herself came out to join in the fun.

    OK, maybe it’s stacking the deck in your favor to bring out Beyonce, but hey, all’s fair in love and “Lip Sync Battle.”

  • Channing Tatum Is Elsa From ‘Frozen’ in New ‘Lip Sync Battle’

    Yeah, we wanna build a snowman, but we also wanna see “Lip Sync Battle.” Season 2 starts Thursday, January 7 on Spike, and the network just shared a promo for the “Tatum Takedown” with Chan and Jenna Dewan-Tatum — including Channing as Elsa from “Frozen.” The cold never bothered him anyway!


    “I just really hope our marriage isn’t over after tonight,” Channing says in the trailer, which promotes the husband vs. wife showdown. Jenna tells her hubby, “We’re a house divided at the moment. We’re going to war.”

    Channing and Jenna met while making the dance movie “Step Up,” and even though Chan is the bigger celebrity right now, Jenna is the real dance pro. This could be close … unless the winner is determined by who looks the most ridiculous. Then it’s definitely Chan’s trophy. Just watch:

    The promo teases “a full hour of big performances and special guests,” and it has already been confirmed that Beyoncé will be performing alongside Chan. With the power of Queen Bey and Queen Elsa, is there any way he can lose?

  • Beyonce or Uzo Aduba May Play Glinda in NBC’s ‘The Wiz’

    "China: Through The Looking Glass" Costume Institute Benefit Gala - Alternative ViewsNBC has its sights set on some big names to fill out the already-impressive cast of its upcoming live staging of “The Wiz”: According to several outlets, both Beyonce and Uzo Aduba are being considered for the part of Glinda the Good Witch.

    E! reports that Beyonce has already been offered the role, though no deal has been finalized yet. According to Entertainment Weekly, producers have apparently approached the singer at least twice about the part, but the singer has passed both times; EW says that NBC may be prepping yet another offer for Queen Bey, though it’s unclear if that’s the offer E! is talking about.

    But if Beyonce doesn’t take it, there’s another, equally-talented actress apparently waiting in the wings: “Orange Is the New Black” star Aduba, who has a Broadway background (she appeared in a 2011 revival of “Godspell”). According to E!, Aduba is producers’ second pick for the part, though it’s unclear if she’s been approached yet about the role.

    Whoever takes on the part has some big shoes to fill: The role was originated in “The Wiz”‘s 1975 Broadway debut by Dee Dee Bridgewater, and performed by Lena Horne in the 1978 movie. The film also starred fellow mega-talents Diana Ross as Dorothy and Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow.

    Speaking of big shoes, NBC’s live version of the multicultural retelling of “The Wizard of Oz” has already cast some major talent. Both Queen Latifah and Mary J. Blige have joined the ensemble, playing the titular wizard and Wicked Witch of the West Evillene, respectively. Stephanie Mills, who played Dorothy in the original Broadway production, will portray Auntie Em this time around.

    NBC is collaborating with Cirque du Soleil on “The Wiz,” and is also staging a Broadway revival of the show for the 2016-2017 season. Its live version is slated to run on the network on December 3.

  • Tituss Burgess Lip-Syncing Beyonce With Tina Fey and Jane Krakowski Is Flawless

    tituss burgess, flawlessUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” including his now-iconic music video for the ridiculous, wonderful tune “Peeno Noir.” But Burgess has been lighting up social media lately with his own real-life videos, too, including a recent ode to Beyonce‘s “Flawless.”

    Burgess posted a short clip to Instagram this week featuring him lip-syncing along to that Queen Bee song. But the actor, who was sitting on a plane at the time, couldn’t help but bring in a couple famous friends to help him out, panning over to include “Kimmy” co-creator Tina Fey and his co-star, Jane Krakowski, who also got in on the fun, mouthing along to the tune’s chorus and mugging for the camera.

    I love @beyonce #nofilter #jetlife #unbreakle #netflix #janegetontwitter #tinaiknowyouwon’t #peenonoir

    Probably the best part is that the trio takes the whole thing so seriously, arching their eyebrows and keeping absolutely straight faces as they lip-sync Beyonce’s self-empowering words. And Burgess, Fey, and Krakowski truly are all flawless, too, making the juxtaposition even better.

    This isn’t the first time Burgess has revealed himself to be a member of the Beyhive, either. Check out this hilarious video of the actor spoofing Beyonce’s “Drunk in Love” for further proof.

    Cheers to the trio for some excellent lip sync work. Maybe give them a call?
