Pop Spy: What's Trending Today in Entertainment and Gossip

Too fierce? Beyoncé's camp tries to quash 'unflattering' photos

Are the shots really that bad?

By Pop Spy -- Kat Giantis Feb 6, 2013 2:56PM

In a recent GQ profile that declared her the hottest woman of the 21st century, Beyoncé revealed the existence of "a temperature-controlled digital-storage facility that contains virtually every existing photograph of her." She calls it her "crazy archive." So it's not surprising that her people might take notice of a post-Super Bowl post on Buzzfeed billed as "The 33 Fiercest Moments From Beyonce's Halftime Show." 

 

Turns out Beyoncé's rep thought some of the photos were a tad too fierce, so she reportedly wrote to the site and "respectfully" asked that seven of the more "unflattering" pics be removed. That includes the gyrating image above and this hip-thrusting photo:

But in a show seen by millions upon millions of people, could it be construed as a mite controlling to object to a handful of photos? We'll leave it to you. Does Bey's publicist have a point? Tell us in the comments ...

If emulating horny leather-clad hoes is fit for prime-time family TV then I guess Beyonce' s performance was appropriate. Personally I think her show was a piss-poor example of what I'd want my daughters to be doing with their bodies in public, but then anyone who has ever seen her slap herself in the butt on that "put a ring on it' video wasn't surprised.

Michelle Obama said she was "proud" of Beyonce's performance- I wonder if she's say the same if it was her daughter gyrating on that stage.

Her "dancing" looks so ridiculous that everyone at our party was laughing the whole way through.  She looks so akward with the exaggerated thrusting that its hard to watch.

She chose to wear what she wore. She chose to gyrate as she did. And now she's gonna complain that pictures were posted?  Geez!  I can't stand the hypocrisy of the entertainment world.

An archive of every photo ever taken, OMG! Honey you aint all that! Sounds like someone needs to get a dose of reality instead of all the "yes" people she hires. Narcissistic fool.

I guess she had to have a good waxing treatment before wearing that costume.  I am all for being sexy and attractive but that is disgusting.

I only watched about 6 minutes of the video... Whenever they got a close-up of her face, she had that evil, "fierce" look....not one smile.  Showing that you have plenty of "T & A" does not prove talent.. It all looks like some grinding mating ritual.... Sorry... just my opinion.

Everything always looks the the same coming from her.  Sloppy.  There's nothing wrong with the pics.  So what if she's making some faces?  She needs to come up with something fresh or get a new camp.  It was cool when Kelly and Michelle popped up.  The songs could have been better.   

 

Money can't buy me acting like a fool.  Although no one can take away the face that she's a pretty girl with a banging body but that baby can't sing a lick except for Ava Maria.  The stage and effects were the best part .

 

I think she's getting too old for the same things over and over.  I'm not picking.  I thought that she was at the status to where all of those people don't have to control her and tell her what to do.

 

She need to go on hiatus for awhile and come back banging or get back with Destiny's Child, better yet more collabrations with other singers or performers.

 

Don't get me wrong, she does have talent but it's un-reachable right now.  Another thing I can say that she didn't make a fool out of herself in front of the Obamas.

She is talented and beautiful on the outside, but I think these pics reveal what she is on the inside.

Like i said, she is a mother who shouldnt be shoving her twaut in our faces.. Is she that un confident that she has to undress and spread her legs.. She hardley sang at all. come on. it was mostly just background crap.. I would not want my daughters to use this as an example of what a woman does.. I dont care if it was a show, I thought B was more mature than this.. Sad to see. And she does not look glamourous all the time.. just like the rest of us.. she wears sweats and no makeup at home.. cut me a break, so we see her looking something other than pretty...These are the people Obama is shoving down our throats. Hollywood is who you should be like.. Sorry, no thanks.

Beyonce needs to get some new dance moves, pretty pathetic! Done it too many times already! Something that big you would of thought she'd surprise us with something new instead of something so boring!

TMZ was making fun of her & her dance moves the other day. Every dance move involved her stomping her feet. We got it Beyonce, you were wearing insanely expensive high-heeled ankle boots. 
 They were ugly as hell anyway. How can someone who acts so demure in interviews basically flash her crotch with a narrow strip of leather covering her vagina. I'm sure some people (guys) especially loved the fact that she wasn't wearing hardly any clothing but really! Talk about high maintenance! Guys around the world...she is extremely beautiful but some of you complain about your girlfriends taking too long to get ready to go out, think about how long it took to do Beyonces hair, skin, nails, outfit etc.

This was the first time I have ever sen her perform and I have to say up front she has talent, she is beautiful, and her dresser needs to be replaced. If she had black lace in front like in the rear the outfit would not have been bad. Her agents need to remind her obviously that children were watching and her gyrating and humping needs to be left to her bedroom. She is setting a poor example to our young girls of what they should look and act like. 
Someone needs to remind Miss Beyonce that she needs to set a good example for our young girls in her actions and her dress. She needs direction and a strong person to stand up to her and get her on the right track, she has it all now she needs to learn how to use it.
As for  Michelle Obama she is a poor role model for any young girl/women so who gives a shite what she has to say, she is a hypocrite in all she says and does.
