The summer's most important pop-culture debate: Are Jay Z and Beyoncé—currently on tour together—getting divorced? According to rumor, yes. But according to a tipster with backstage video of the pair: No.

Beyoncé closed tonight's VMAs with a 15-minute medley that spanned almost her entire BEYONCÉ album—she performed at least a bit of almost every song, though "Pretty Hurts" was represented only from a snippet of Harvey Keitel's dialogue from the video, "Superpower" played as an instrumental over the snippet from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's TED talk used in "***Flawless," and "Heaven" was nowhere to be found, except for in our hearts.

Blue Ivy Carter could have stolen this year's VMAs, if only she weren't the daughter of the woman who actually stole the show, Beyoncé. Oh well. Better luck next year, kid.

Atlanta Public Schools fired a sixth grade teacher this week for playing her class Beyoncé and Jay Z's eternal classic, "Drunk in Love." According to the administrators' complaint against Ms. Nikki Turner, "This song contained profanity, vulgarity, and sexually explicit lyrics. This song is not [in] alignment with Teacher Keys Standard 9, Professionalism." Blah blah blah, surf-boring, this is bullshit.

According to Pasadena police, 11 people were arrested at the Beyoncé-Jay Z concert at the Rose Bowl Saturday night. Among the arrested was Roberto Alcaraz-Garnica, 25, of San Diego, who allegedly bit a man's fingertip off after groping the man's girlfriend.

Sometimes shit goes down when there's a billion dollars on an elevator.

The latest in the slow, sad, inevitable decline of America's romantic aspirations: Beyoncé is shopping for a new Manhattan apartment, a source tells the New York Post, to live in without her famous husband.

In the August issue of Lucky Magazine, a publication where teenage girls shop for jean shorts and Keds, singer Solange Knowles finally "addresses" her scuffle with brother-in-law and rapper Jay Z. The singer describes the brawl as "that thing."

On Wednesday night's performance of Beyoncé and Jay Z's newly launched "On the Run" tour, the couple showed a number of celebrity mugshots during Jay Z's "Izzo." The music stopped when they came to—gasp!—Justin Bieber's.

Remember this one for the 2024 slideshows: a new Beyoncé shirt by Beyoncé that features the "surfboard" meme and the surfing emoji.

Us Weekly reports that while the rest of us endlessly refresh our news feeds on this spring afternoon, hoping (for a reason we haven't spent enough time trying to understand) to get a glimpse of Kim and Kanye in their wedding clothes, Beyoncé and Jay Z are in the Hamptons, simply enjoying their life. SNUBBED!

America's Royal Family, wealth accumulator Jay Z and pop magnate Beyoncé, released a surprise trailer last night for their upcoming On The Run tour that proves two things: surprises now lack meaning and money cannot buy self-awareness. A third thing: Beyoncé has no idea what a gun is.

Andy Samberg hosted the season finale of Saturday Night Live last night, which opened with Jay Z and Solange (Jay Pharoah and Sasheer Zamata) proving that they've made amends and letting us in on what really happened in that elevator. (Something about a spider.)

Solange Knowles, a Houston woman who threw 'bows at her 44-year-old brother-in-law in an elevator following a party on Cinco de Mayo, threw back Thursday by posting old photographs of herself with elder sister Beyoncé to Instagram. Knowles made headlines on Tuesday when she deleted a photo of herself and Beyoncé from her account—a move which apparently prompted Beyoncé to repost four pictures of the siblings to her own account, which is more popular.

A spokesperson for the Standard Hotel said on Wednesday that they identified and fired the employee who sold the now-infamous Met Brawl video to TMZ.

Following Solange's attempt yesterday to erase Beyoncé from the historical record by apparently purging (almost) all photos of her from her Instagram account*, Beyoncé hit back in classic big sister fashion early Wednesday morning, uploading a bunch of photos of the two of them to her Instagram, and effectively commanding Solange in a calm, quiet voice to stop hitting herself, stop hitting herself.

Nothing weird at all about this, just two normal people with a normal husband/sister-in-law relationship shopping for jewelry on a Tuesday afternoon.

A source (not 50 Cent) tells the New York Daily News that Solange Knowles' infamous elevator attack on brother-in-law Jay Z happened after Jay made plans to head to Rihanna's Met Ball after-party without bringing Beyoncé.

One of the many unanswered questions about the elevator dustup between Solange Knowles and Jay Z at the Met Gala is why Beyoncé stood calmly by while her sister attacked her husband. Is Bey taking anyone's side, here?

A tipster who was at Bushwick pizza joint Roberta's on Sunday night tells us that Beyoncé and Jay Z had dinner there—just a few days after Beyoncé's sister Solange attacked Jay in an elevator. Social-media documentation of the evening seems to show a pleasant-enough date (at least, no one is getting kicked), but our source says that Beyoncé "stormed out," ending the meal.
