Beyoncé bans photos of her performance during Kobe Bryant memorial - Page Six Posted: 24 Feb 2020 01:14 PM PST ![]() Photographers were forbidden from taking snaps of Beyoncé during her performance at Kobe Bryant's memorial in Los Angeles on Monday, according to several photo agencies. Editors at the Associated Press and Getty Images told The Post that organizers of the livestreamed Staples Center event prohibited them from taking photos of the Grammy-winning singer or Bryant's children. The pop superstar kicked off the memorial to the Lakers legend and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, by performing her hit songs "XO" and "Halo." One insider at the event said, "It is so offensive to Kobe's family and the fans, Beyoncé is so controlling of her image — she usually only allows approved selected images of her to be released — so no photographers at the Kobe memorial were allowed to take her picture. Really, at a memorial? Not even the family of Michael Jackson did that. "A Staples Center staffer was dispatched to make sure not a single camera was focused on the stage. The photographers couldn't believe it. This doesn't help Beyoncé's image at all, it hurts her. It makes her look like a diva. The memorial wasn't about her. The only shots of Bey that did emerge were screen grabs from TV. None of the other artists at the memorial asked for this, not Christina Aguilera, not Alicia Keys." Representatives for Beyoncé did not immediately return a request for comment. Beyoncé's publicist has previously targeted media outlets, demanding that "unflattering" pictures of the singer be removed online. |
UCLA gymnast Nia Dennis absolutely killed her Beyonce routine - For The Win Posted: 28 Feb 2020 09:43 AM PST ![]() If you don't know who Nia Dennis is by now, you'd better get to know her. Her amazing floor routines are absolutely taking over the internet. The UCLA junior wowed us before by spelling her actual name in the air during one of her routines. This year, on her 21st birthday, she got busy on the floor to a bunch of Beyonce hits in an absolutely stunning performance. First of all, with anything that you do in life, bringing Beyonce into the picture in any way, shape or form absolutely helps. Nia clearly has some great taste in music. But that wasn't it — just watch her moves. You absolutely love to see it. And the way she stuck that landing at the end? *chefs kiss* Dennis' routine only earned a 9.975 from the judges, which is still an absolutely great score! But, somehow, it still feels criminally underrated. And, listen, I know absolutely nothing about judging gymnastics. But if Chadwick Boseman can judge dunks, I can judge this. This is easily a 10. Bonus points for hitting the woah at the 50 second mark. This performance from Dennis, somehow, did not win the competition for UCLA — they were juuuust beaten by Utah, 198.075-198.025. It's alright, though. They didn't win the competition but they absolutely won the internet. Salute, Nia. Salute. |
