Hot Shot: Beyonce Goes Shopping
With all the money Forbes reported she is to have made last year, it is no surprise that Beyonce decided to take a shopping trip in the very high end Selfridges, London.
Joined by her mother, the Golden Globe nominee tried her best to look incognito in dark shades and her now trademark wild woman hair.

In what will be sure to strike up debate in all corners of PopCultureVille, British boyband JLS have defended artists who have come under criticism for using auto-tune.
Find out what they had to say below…
“If you get critics come and see the show, we can sing it live, so what’s the problem? It’s kind of pointless for them to criticise, we are in a new school generation and [for] that generation, stuff like music effects, auto tune and sampling is part of that.”
These comments come after the quartet were accused of using auto-tune to disguise their otherwise thin vocals, especially in their smash hit ‘The Club Is Alive’.
Whilst their habitual lip syncing and use of the widely debated production tool haven’t done any the band any critical favours, it is worth remembering that they were indeed contestants on the X Factor UK where their collective singing was often heralded as being some of the best the show had heard.
Even giving winner Alexandra Burke stiff competition up until the finals.

‘Break My Heart’ singer Estelle has been making her promo rounds in preparation for her soon-to-be released new album ‘All of Me’. The singer recently chatted it up with BET.com and shared information about the record and thoughts on fellow U.K. songstresses Adele and Marsha Ambrosius.

From BET.com:
…the structure of her entire album; an emotionally-charged LP that Estelle said fans can expect to be “acute” and authentic. “Every song has emotional attachments to it—whether happy or sad, melancholy or joyful.”
Besides being excited about the release of All of Me, the “American Boy” singer took the time to express her sentiments about the current success of fellow British songstresses Adele and Marsha Ambrosius. “We’ve [Brit girls] been winning across the world for a number of years now, so I’m happy to be able to do a third album and still be in the game.”

In what will undoubtedly come as a shock to nobody many, pop supergroup Black Eyed Peas are taking an ‘indefinite hiatus from working together’, according to lead singer Fergie. The announcement comes on the heels of two successful albums, world tours, and a slew of hit singles.
However, the ‘London Bridges’ singer was sure to emphasize that the break was not permanent stating, “We’re going to be taking a break just like we did after we released Monkey Business in 2005 until we came back in 2009…This isn’t going to be the last time you’ll see us.”
The group is currently in the middle of their aptly titled ‘The E.N.D.” tour.
