Beyonce Babes

Meh, most babies look the same

I could not care less about Beyonce, Jayzee and their offspring.

I don't understand why the fact that they reproduced again was newsworthy enough to make its way to my local news broadcast. I don't understand why she is held up as a feminist icon. 

I feel like an old lady, standing on my porch, shaking my fist at the sky and shouting "get off my lawn!" whenever this subject comes up. 

I seriously can't stop laughing... That photo is awful!

(FWIW, I like Oprah.)

^^^ start a thread about Madonna or Cher, and see what happens. But this thread happens to be about Beyonce and her babies-- and their photo shoot.

Talk about trying to derail a thread. Good grief.

On topic: I just don't get it, but to each their own, I guess (regarding the picture). As for the baby names... That's all I've got.

White people can like whomever and whatever they choose. I'm just pointing out your reasons are often times laced with your hatred of black people and not really your typical celebrity I hate them because they are famous. You'd be hard pressed to walk into an American home and not find black culture and influence so someone likes it *shrugs* And no one is trying to bait you.  If you have an ugly spirit you have an ugly spirit.

I don't hate white people I'm just frank about the character many of you have. Historically and present day. 

Beyonce hatin' gets me all het up. Seriously. No one here can provide a single reason why she should be called a narcissist or accused of using her babies as props. Celebrity hate threads are so ridiculous in most every instance.

Tell me exactly how many times you've seen a photo of Blu Ivy and then get back to me about how she uses her kids as props.

Tell me one instance of her behavior that could lead any sensible person to state that she's a narcissist and a drama queen. You can't, period. She mainly just performs and lives her life. She's very low-key considering how hugely famous she is. She's a performer, it's natural for her WORK to be dramatic. But I don't see her doing anything controversial (except that one time when white people got mad because she remembered she was black and protested police shootings), I've never seen her labia, and she's never been photographed doing anything negative.

Ugghh

Olan you're wrong when you say white people are uncomfortable with black joy. White people are largely ONLY comfortable with black joy. It's the anger that's harder to deal with, and the reasons why.

For the record I truly don't believe anyone here doesn't like Bey just because she's black. No celebrity is ever safe here from unkind judgmental uninformed comments, no matter what. The Biebs and Britney used to get roasted constantly. Used to drive me insane.

You're absolutely ridiculous.  

But I'll accept your challenge in the attempt that I can broaden your horizons a bit. 

I don't hate Oprah. I don't know anyone that truly hates her. I do know people like myself that dislike her. 

Her is my non-emotional reason why.  When Oprah was in her prime on her talk show, she came across as being too full of herself. Mainly, when she would have an expert on her show, for whatever topic they were discussing, she would often cut off what he was saying. Not for a commercial break or in the sake of time, but so she could add something she had learned on her own or to contradict what was being said. Maybe she was trying to make the topic more relevant to her audience. Maybe she was excited to show off that she had done some prior research. Maybe she wasn't impressed with the "expert" her producers chose and wanted to show a different side of the story. I don't know. But it was disrespectful. And when it continued time after time, it became annoying enough that I stopped watching. It also annoyed me when she forgot her who her audience was and would make recommendations that would never work for the average person. 

One example I remember clearly was when she had someone on and the topic of bed sheet laundering frequency came up. Maybe he was a microbiologist discussing germs in the home. Can't remember.  Oprah stated that she had fresh linens on her bed every day. Expert said that most people do not have the means to hire staff to make that happen so for the rest of the world, XYZ was recommended. 

This exactly. I can't help but see how angry and racist Olan is with every single post. Sad.

I don't think I'm ever over the top mean about any HW, other than to discuss their actual filmed behavior and comments. You can correct me if I'm wrong but that to me is completely different than calling a celebrity a narcissistic fame whore drama queen who uses her kids as props based solely upon some baby pictures and maybe gossip rags. The husbands though, no holds barred...I'll admit to calling David gray and Jim Bellino a sweaty beast who makes me think of nasty amateur porn. Like he was going to bend poor Alexis over the grill and start sweating all over her while he filmed it with his iPhone. Blecccch

I think it goes without saying that I don't expect anyone to be "fawning" over her, but I'd like to hear at least one VALID criticism of her, like, her last album wasn't to my taste or her fashion line looks like it's a crafty outlet for her mother's wildest dreams. I never do. Just nasty uncalled-for comments.

And I don't have a problem with anyone saying they don't like her...It's the WHY I have a problem with. So many attractive women get totally reamed at this place.

ETA I've spent a lot more time defending HW from internet gossip than I ever have critiquing. Especially my girl Tre.

Why would this thread cement your dislike of her?

I don't care for divas. I much prefer down-to-Earth humble-pie type people. This goes for celebrities and regular folk. I do give passes to some, however. I disliked Cher until I watched Silkwood. She redeemed herself then.

cause now I'm annoyed and pissy about it, as in..don't tell me who to like. Don't tell me I'm a racist because I don't like her..I mean seriously? Come on..
