Beyonce will be singing the song to Barack and Michelle Obama’s first dance on inauguration night even though a Presidential Inaugural Committee spokeswoman had said:

“It is our hope that we can keep the song secret until the moment,”

Umm not anymore! Thanks to Beyonce we all now know what she’s going to be singing. She let the cat out of the bag, did someone forget to tell her it was supposed to be kept hush?

In a new statement, Beyonce reveals:
“I am so honored that I will be performing for President Obama and the First Lady. To sing At Last while they have their first dance is a dream come true.”

She adds:
“I could not be more honored and excited that they have asked me to be part of this moment in history.”

She’ll also be performing at the Neighborhood Ball airing on ABC along with her husband Jay-Z, along with, Alicia Keyes, Faith Hill, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Mary J. Blige, Shakira, Stevie Wonder, Sting, and will.i.am.

Jay Z Slave Driver

They also assert that they were forced to pay for breaks, spills, and “walkouts” on the job.

Jay Z has hundreds angry former employees that could be eligible to collect on the claims of lost wages if their case wins in court.

The source claims that a federal judge has admitted the club owners violated federal labour laws after reviewing an earnings report for at least two workers who showed they were not paid for overtime at the venue. The judge said, “The record contains corroborating evidence of the allegations.”

I have to admit the restaurant industry is terrible. I worked at a ‘high class’ Golf course restaurant and they would force you to sign a paper when they dismissed you early because the restaurant was slow. At the time it was illegal to pay an employee under four hours but this place would get you to sign that right away. I was so aggrevated by it I ended up quitting.

The thing was if you wouldn’t sign this paper they would force you to do boring and ridiculous things for the remainder of your four hours. Ie: use a /coffee filter to get all the fruit flies out of the liquor bottles, or go down and reorganize the cooler for no apparent reason. Most of the time the employees just signed and high tailed it out of there.

Beyonce Is Knocked Up

We all wondered why Beyonce and Jay Z rushed to get married so quickly once the news broke about their engagement. Well we all figured that B must have been knocked up. Why else would Jay Z all of a sudden propose after such a long time. It seemed as though they were never going to get married at one point.

I bet she was fed up of not being married so skipped a few pills and bam! -Baby in the oven! Jay Z proposed they rushed the wedding and now they will wait for a few months to ‘announce’ the news.

A source said, “Beyonce is 100% pregnant.” They also claim that Beyonce and Jay-Z got married so quickly because of Beyonce’s strong Christian beliefs. If Beyonce beliefs were so strong, why would she even be having sex before marriage hmm?

Beyonce Bump Watch?

Seems like everyone and their dog is pregnant. There are rumors swirling around that Beyonce is with child! Obviously Jay Z is the father unless Beyonce has been a Naughty Girl. Apparently Beyonce wants to keep the news under wraps which is usual for celebrities because they love to keep us guessing. A source said that :

“Beyonce is giving nothing away. She’s always been close to her parents and open about wanting a large family of her own one day.”

I guess we will just have to wait and see if B is the next celebrity to push out a baby. This outfit she is wearing is not severely skin tight so maybe we are on to something.
