Listen to Beyoncé's Next Single From 4, "Party" Featuring Kanye West and André 3000

Shannon Vestal — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 11:40:02 PDT

The first single from Beyoncé's upcoming album "Run the World (Girls)" inspired some split opinions from you guys, and personally, I've been waiting for a catchier pop track from B. Well, we may have it with the latest single to be released, "Party." Featuring Kanye West and André 3000, the track isn't a super fast dance jam, but it is a fun, sexy track. It definitely has me more excited for 4's release, and swaying my shoulders to Beyoncé's "we like to party" chorus. Check it out now and let me know if you like it more than "Run the World (Girls)."

Fashion Does Rock

Justin's on the cover, and there's lots more where that came from. The Fashion Rocks supplement, to get us all excited for the show Sept. 9, is packed with the freshest names in music and fashion. Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Keith Urban, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Usher, Mark Ronson, Andre 3000, Pharrell, the Black Eyed Peas, and many more will visually fuse the two arts.

One of my favorite snaps thus far is this one Steven Meisel captured of Sasha Pivovarova and Dhani Harrison, son of Beatle George Harrison. I love their forlorn looks emerging from a pool wearing furs, bohemian layers, and floppy toques. “Sasha’s clothes have an Anita Pallenberg vibe, which I love. Anita is so cool. She’s actually mum of one of my best friends,” said Harrison. Like what you see? There are 10 more pages of this to look forward to.

Your issue is surely on its way - in the meantime, to see pictures of The Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Andre 3000, Chris Brown, and cover boy Justin Timberlake,

Inside the Very Star-Studded Madonna Malawi Gucci Bash

Molly — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 12:37:27 PST

We saw all the million celebrities on the red carpet last night at Madonna's Gucci/Malawi/UNICEF benefit, but the real fun was on the inside. J Lo looked fabulous and glowing with her gorgeous hair and ready to pop babies bump having a laugh with Tom and Katie. Madonna let her mini (and growing!) me Lourdes wander the festivities alone while she played hostess to the star-studded bash. Wouldn't mind getting that up close and personal with Orlando, you? Birthday Boy (with Ashton) Chris Rock got an eyeful of Rihanna on the red carpet, but the stunning starlet was probably too nervous about her big party performance to even notice. She said, "I've never met [Madonna] before...I hope I don't cry." Rihanna's not the only person Madonna was intimidating (even just jokingly so) as Gwyneth said as she walked in you don't say no to Madonna "very often, she's pretty scary."

Song of the Day: Andre 3000, "Class of 3000 Theme Song"

BuzzSugar — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 10:36:45 PDT

Um, did anyone know that Andre 3000 of Outkast has his own show on the Cartoon Network? I consider myself pretty well-versed in all things music- and TV-related, and I honestly had no idea. Perhaps that's because I don't have kids, but if I did, I'd be plopping them down in front of the tube every Thursday night to catch "Class of 3000."

The animated series has Andre voicing a character named Sunny Bridges, "who quits the entertainment business and returns to Atlanta to teach a diverse group of child prodigies at the Westley School for the Performing Arts." New episodes start tonight at 7 p.m. EDT, and Andre is also releasing a 14-song Class of 3000 soundtrack on July 3. Even the theme song is adorable and catchy. It starts with a roll call (I'm partial to Philly Phil) and goes into a playful jam full of Prince-esque guitars, jazzy clarinets, and "la-la-la's." Listen and tell me what you think when you

Beyoncé Keeps a Lid on It as Her Latest Single Touches Down

Lindsay Miller — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 10:04:00 PDT

Beyoncé Knowles landed at the airport in Nice yesterday in a white blazer, shades, and a chic straw hat. The singer, who was accompanied by a bodyguard, is looking forward to the release of her album 4 on June 28. The title track, which features Kanye West and Andre 3000, hit the Web last week, hot on the heels of her new video for "Run the World (Girls)." B has been promoting the upcoming CD since May, taking the stage at the finale of American Idol, and rocking the Billboard Music Awards. This was Beyoncé's latest trip to France after she and her husband, Jay-Z, spent a romantic week in Paris during April to mark their anniversary and hang out with their adorable nephew. In a few more weekends, Beyoncé is set to perform elsewhere in Europe at Glastonbury in England. Beyoncé is on the cover of Dazed and Confused magazine's July issue, and told the magazine she's now focused on taking risks and pushing her boundaries but is nonetheless nervous for the live show.

5 Songs to Download From Beyoncé's New Album, 4

Shannon Vestal — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:20:59 PDT

Beyoncé's latest album 4 drops today, and while we've heard a few of the tracks before now, I'm happy that we get to take it in as a whole this week. Though 4 isn't chock-full of standalone singles, Beyoncé still gives us a cohesive, soulful mix of tracks about love (and losing love). Here are the five songs I think are worth the price of the download.

"Party": My hands-down favorite from this album. Though the title might imply that it can get a party started, it's really more of a sultry slow jam (well, maybe it could get a two-person party started. Ahem.) Guests Kanye West and Andre 3000 help give the sexy song infinitely more swagger.
"Best Thing I Never Had": A classic Beyoncé kiss-off in the vein of "Irreplaceable." Although this time she's more mature in her resolve; she's not the girl who would bleach her ex's clothes, because now she is so past that.
"Countdown": This fun track mixes sweet lyrics with a fierce refraining countdown. Plus, I predict that we'll all be talking about our "boofs" by Summer's end.
"End of Time": The marching band backup hooked me on this one instantly - it's an upbeat song about crushing on someone, and it'll get your head rockin'.
"Start Over": Beyoncé loaded many ballads on this album, and this one is definitely my favorite. She sings about wanting to try again with a love, and the growl in her voice is as heartbroken as it is gorgeous.

Work Out With Beyoncé

Self — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 05:13:30 PDT

We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Self here on FitSugar!

Queen B released her fourth album - appropriately titled 4 - yesterday and, surprisingly, it's more slow-burning ballads than booty-shaking anthems. Still, the always-inspiring singer knows how to motivate us in the gym.

Beyonce, who has graced our cover no less than three times, has told us plenty about how she gets her bootylicious bod into shape. When she's gearing up for a tour (she killed it at England's Glastonbury Festival just this weekend), she works out five days a week with her trainer, and practices her choreography for nine hours a day, seven days a week--while wearing 5-inch stilettos. Her just-keep-going secret? The singer keeps a painting of an Oscar at the gym, so she's literally running towards her next goal. "I look at it, and I'm like OK, I have to stay in shape," she says. So download B's latest album, stick a picture of the chart-topper in your iPod case for extra motivation and hit the gym with this exclusive workout inspired by the singer.

Cardio
First, let's start with the cardio: for a quick, 15-minute warm-up that will get your heart pumping, kick off your jog with the Kelly Clarkson-channeling kiss-off "Best Thing I Never Had," followed by the percussion-driven "End of Time," the reggae-tinged, high-energy "Countdown" and, of course, B's new anthem, "Run The World (Girls)."

Get the rest of the workout after the break!
