Entering into the well-known "nesting" stage of pregnancy, Beyonce doesn't seem to be doing much lately except staying around the house and making terrific, high-end music videos. Three weeks after "Countdown" had us all WHOOHOO-BEYONCE!!!-ing, here she is mowing the lawn behind her trailer home at midnight in a yellow fur coat and bikini bottoms. It's a shame the video is not the version of this song that features a typically phenomenally guest verse from Andre 3000. But J. Cole is okay, too. And WHOOHOO-BEYONCE!!! READ MORE

Here is the new Beyonce video everybody is so justifiably psyched about. It's a burst of joy! It was directed by Tom Petty's daughter, Adria—who, you wonder, maybe learned about the fun to be had with nice clean set design and simple camera tricks from the folks who used to work with her dad.

Here is the new video for Beyonce's great song, "1+1." It's pretty much the same video as the old video for Billy Idol's great song "Eyes Without a Face." READ MORE

And here is Beyoncé covering Prince's "The Beautiful Ones" (and Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire" (whatever)) this weekend. She's been doing this on tour for a bit (and covering Prince for a couple of years, and of course she performed "Purple Rain" with him in 2004) but this is the first really stellar recording of this; I would describe this as LIFE-CHANGING. Stop work, put your headphones on, etc. I do wish she hadn't switched the genders in the lyrics though. (via, previously)

When something as significant as the release of Beyoncé's first new single in two years happens, everyone on the internet seems to feel the need to share their opinions and expert criticisms, this website included. But as we racked our brains trying to figure out what to do for it, this video review by The Skorpion Show crossed our paths and articulated everything and anything we would ever hope to say, but better and more sincerely than we ever could. It should also be noted that this video is a response to the demo version of the song that leaked yesterday, and not the official version that came out today. READ MORE

Beyonce may or may not be pregnant—she says she is not, and presumably she would know—but is she Hard-Knock(ed) Life up? See? There is so much to be said about the most anticipated baby in the history of man (sorry, Jesus). But is it worth the inevitable follower loss that would accompany an all-day Tweetathon of nothing but remarks about Beyonce's unborn diva fetus? Well of course it is. Still, in the interests of good social media hygiene, I have instead gathered said Tweets into this compendium, to be consumed all at once. Just like with tapas, it's always super-annoying when they bring out the dishes one at a time. READ MORE
