The Carters hit the stage at Coachella Music Fest together this weekend to perform a surprise duet Friday night. Bey accompanied her hubby on "Forever Young." And on Saturday, they kicked it around the grounds as spectators.

THE CARTERS OUT & ABOUT

GV Says: Bangin' outfit Bey. I see you.

NO BABY FOR THE CARTERS

While Papa Knowles has a new bundle of joy. Reps for Beyonce report that's so no the case for the Carters.



Despite an online report that the singer is pregnant, Beyoncé's rep say the story is "not true."

In the past, Knowles, 28, has spoken about her desire to start a family with her husband, 40. "I hope that those things will just happen naturally," she told Allure magazine for its February issue.

The pair, who were married in a secret ceremony, celebrate their second anniversary April 4.

BEYONCE OPENS COSMETOLOGY CENTER

Beyoncé spoke in downtown Brooklyn, New York, at the Phoenix House, a nonprofit recovery center for drug and alcohol addiction, to unveil a project she and her mother, Tina, have dreamed of and worked on for years: the Beyoncé Cosmetology Center. According to the press release, the program is "a seven-month cosmetology training course for adult men and women." L'Oréal has donated all the products to be used at the center, and their spokeswoman Beyoncé, along with her mother, have pledged to donate $100,000 annually.

After brief remarks by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Tina Knowles, among others, Beyoncé graciously took to the podium to explain both her ties to the house — she first visited in 2007 as part of research for her role as Etta James in "Cadillac Records" — and her hopes for the program.

While Phoenix House provides varied vocational training, "I felt like they needed something that was geared towards women — something that would teach them skills that would give them hope even after the Phoenix House," Beyoncé explained about why she chose to fund a beauty school. Her mother also owned and operated a salon in Knowles' hometown of Houston.

"I saw that a salon was a place for women to socialize, share stories, cry, laugh and get advice," she continued about her experiences growing up around a beauty parlor. She was close to tears as she added, "Most importantly, I saw the joy it brought my mother, knowing she was a part of their transformation."

BEYONCE OFFS SASHA FIERCE

Who knew....I didn't get the memo that Sasha Fierce died.



"Sasha Fierce is done...I killed her."

Beyoncé also told "Extra" that now that she was off the road, she was going to focus on "learning to paint and cook, and to do Broadway shows and museums. And learn just to be at home and just watch television." She even welcomed the idea of children with husband and fellow worldwide phenomenon Jay-Z. "Eventually," she said. "When it happens, it happens."

BEYONCE HITS UP BRAZIL

GV Says: Dang....and this chick still looks good.

BEYONCE SUED

Beyonce has been hit with a breach of contract lawsuit from the bosses of a Hong Kong clothing manufacturer.



B, who launched House of Dereon with her stylist mother Tina Knowles in 2005, is accused of costing apparel maker Vier International $500,000 in an alleged conspiracy to undercut the Asian company.

In legal papers filed in the District Court in Manhattan, New York on Monday, Vier International owners claim executives at clothing company Donna Loren LLC and shipping firm HJM International worked together as "conspirators who induced the shipment of goods to the United States with the intent to convert them or pay less than the agreed upon contract price".

Beyonce and her partners at House of Dereon and her Beyond Productions company reportedly aided the scheme by making purchae orders and requesting manufacturer specifications, reports WWD.com.

Vier International executives are suing for compensation and they have also filed the complaint under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), a statute usually reserved for the prosecution of organized crime gangs like the mafia.

BEYONCE SMELLS GOOD

Beyonce's Heat is bringing in the dough...

2010 GRAMMY PERFORMANCES

This year brought some rather tasteful performances. It was decent this year...

Surprisingly, Beyonce gave a pretty compelling performance. She performed a medley of her “If I Were a Boy” mixed with with Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know.” A little soft mixed with a little hard. Loved it. She was clad simply. Thank you. I saw no hints of Mama Knowles. Straight weave, cute black mini.



BEP brought an energetic performance. I would describe it as hip-hop meets techno. Never my cup of tea, but for their true fans I assume it was a treat. IDK….


Pink brought a graceful, but repeat performance of her MTV Awards acrobatic act.


Loved the MJ tribute. Carrie Underwood, Usher, Celine Dione, Smokey Robinson, Jennifer Hudson did an awesome job. J. Hud looked awesome by the way. "Through all his songs, [our father's] message was simple: love," Prince Michael, 12, said on stage at the Staples Center, surrounded by his cousins and sister Paris, 11. "We will continue to spread his message and help the world."


Jamie Foxx set it off on the R&B tip when he delivered “Blame It.” He really got it krunk. Can’t say I’ve seen that before. Of course T-Pain came out. And just when yo thought it couldn’t get any more urban in such a diverse crowd, Jamie stayed true to his fan base and brought out Doug E. Fresh. He finally brought it down a notch when Slash came out. But…..then who exactly was the heavy-set girl dancing on stage? That was so confusing….UPDATE: I hear it was his sister.


Maxwell hit the stage too. He's cute – in a 1950s kind of way. And didn't Roberta Flack sound like her recordings (FYI....she kinda seemed like she was in pain though…..)

SOME GRAMMY RED CARPET LOOKS

The celebs kept it fairly elegant this year at the Grammys....That's a good thing.

Beyonce was decked in a Stephane Rolland gown, Casadei heels and gilded Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. Nice...but almost too vanilla for the Grammys.

Rihanna looked regal in a white high neck gown from Elie Saab.

J. Hud rocked a Victoria Beckham dress. Go girl!!!

Fergie hit the red carpet in a blue Emilio Pucci mini.

MJB donned a silk crepe fuschia gown with cut out detail by Gucci. This looks a little too tight to me.

Ashanti was there...She looked cute...but....

Ciara looked a mess (I'm sorry) in a black Givenchy dress and Cartier diamonds.

Lady Gaga came in a custom-made Giorgio Armani Prive get-up. Foolishness! She supposedly collaborated with Giorgio on a series of exclusive looks for the Grammys...SMH.

WTF??? Don't tell me Brit is slipping again. She arrived in a black long sleeve lace dress with black body suit by Dolce & Gabbana.

J. Lo looked awesome in her silver chain-mail Versace gown and towering platform heels.

Katy Perry - "channeling Indian Betty Paige princess"- came in a Luna Floral Sequin Gown with a dramatic back in nude from Zac Posen and diamond skull earrings. SMH....the color is so drab. Katy's too pretty for that.

Snooki came in a purple mini. WTF???
