Name: Tenacious

Comment: Has anyone anyone ever done this "Master Cleanse" regimen B was on?(really a fast). The cleanse consist of fresh squeezed lemons, distilled water, cayenne pepper and pure maple syrup or molasses. I think it is intended to be more of a detox/cleanse for the body but weight loss is a by-product or so I've heard...

Name: nightshift

Comment: Two things, I just don't believe she's "just" 25. And if anybody has seen a picture of the slimmed-down version of JZ, with them skinny 'ol legs, he really looked like a "Lip-Stick", you'll never be Tony Atlas, but you go'head brother, I ain't mad @ ya, stay healthy!!

Name: JamerDelta

Comment: Go ahead, girl. Take care of your man. >>Tenacious, yes, I've done the master cleanse 4 times and I'm planning to do another cleanse this summer. I find it a great way to really cleanse the body and their are mental benefits as well. Also, you can lose weight on it as well. Robin, from Howard Stern's show lost her weight using the cleanse as well. I do it for health purposes, but it really is beneficial all around and you aren't ever physically hungry on it if you do it properly, you just miss chewing--I like leaving bits of lemon in my drink to chew on. I definitely recommend it, but people should definitely read the book first, to get their mindset right and a good understanding of why to do the vairous steps. I also recommend the site www.themastercleanse.com which has a bulletin board that you can do the cleanse along with others and ask questions and receive information etc.

Comment: This sounds like something my baby sister did.

Name: halleberries

Comment: I know 2 folks that swear to the master cleanse.. I'm afraid to do it cause I'm sensitive to sugar and I feel the maple syrup would do me in.

Name: NJBLKGUY

Comment: 25?? Isn't she more like 29 or 30?

Name: coneyi

Comment: Alright B. I see you. He.ll he gained all that weight because they are always eating, plus he's approaching middle age. LOL!

Name: fuzzygoss

Comment: Sick of her collabos. If she is soooo the ish, drop a me, myself, and I album and Impress me. Other than, sit down and shut up that big mouth because who in the hell wants to see all that coochie poppin? Ok, thousands, but BeYAWNsay better come back with some mature, classics, otherwise she is just package, prime meat for Massa!

Name: JamerDelta

Comment: >>halleberries, you can use the blackstrap molasses which is recommended for people with diabetes or other sugar issues. The book written in the 1950's is only like maybe 50 pages and is also on line.

Name: fuzzygoss

Comment: BeYawnSAY is every bit of 30!!!!!

Name: ImJustAsking

Comment: coneyi< IF, and I mean IF, this story is even true, when somebody is almost 40 they will gain weight. He's already showing lots of age in the face so she might as well get used to it. I gotta be honest, I LOVE Rodney Jerkins and the things that he has done on Brandy's albums, esp. lyrically and with Lashawn Daniel's vocal arrangements so I think B's cd has a great chance of being dope..I just don't think I'm goin to be ready to see more Beyonce in September. I'm already on overload.

Name: thebaddestchick

Comment: Yeah Beyonce is about to turn 25. The business make you look like that. She been doing this thing since she was 10. It is bound to take its toll. And she hasnt had any plastic surgery.

Name: karamelky

Comment: THAT'S CUTE! IT'S A LOT EASIER TO BECOME HEALTH CONCIOUS WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR MATE GOING ALONG WITH YOU. ME AND MY SWEETY ARE HELPING EACH OTHER OUT AND IT'S A LOT OF FUN, PLUS IT BRINGS US CLOSER TOGETHER AND HEALTHIER.

Name: MidwestMan1

Comment: She hasnt had any plastic surgery? Her nose has changed over the years, and if Jay-Z ain't over 40 then the Easter Bunny is real too.

Name: karamelky

Comment: Ya'll need to quit hating on B. She is about to turn 25. She is the same age as me. Females are looking a lot more mature these days. I dont think she looks bad at all. I think she looks very classic and beautiful.

Name: ImJustAsking

Comment: jamerdelta< I see they are selling the book on Amazon for like 3.00 I may order it, thanks for telling about your experience.

Name: TMan

Comment: Dick Gregory said that Cayenne Pepper is good for everybody. I forgot all the benefits it can give you. He said the African Cayenne Pepper is the best. Strong too.

Name: JamerDelta

Comment: IJA, not a problem. Yes, cayenne pepper has a lot of vitamin A. Also, the cleanse or lemonade drink has all the vitamins and minerals that the body needs. You can work out and keep your normal routine while on the cleanse and a lot of times you have a lot of extra energy.

Name: Priceless

Comment: Bouncy started the roller coaster dieting very early ... I guess we will see her baloon to 200 lbs, trim down and then baloon to 210 lbs and on and on .... I didn't notice that Jigga was getting thick but I bet when he playing with Rhianna he eat all the candy he want *snicker*

Name: Snicker

Comment: -->karamelky beyonce may be the same age as you but she does look about 5 years older than what she is supposed to be and it's no secret in the entertainment business that they will lie like a rug about their ages.

Name: yunvme

Comment: I just dont get it. What is is about the way Beyonce looks, that some thing she looks older. She looks 24/25. Most times she is heavily made up (diva style). The hair and heavy makeup makes you look a little older, but I bet in real life, without the weave and makeup, she looks like your typical pretty black girl.

Name: ladybyrd

Comment: Jigga was looking think during the Black Album. I'm sure one would eat a lot of junk on Tour's or after club'in

Name: ImJustAsking

Comment: I believe B is 25, I think she just looks older because she has hard lines around her mouth, it's probably hereditary, because her mom looks really hard and worn. She probably won't age that well. Price< me and my friends were talking about 30 years from now when BET does their Beyonce walk of fame, I bet you she will be looking JUST LIKE Aretha or Chaka. jamerdelta< I tried this one thing called fruit flush that was supposed to do be a good detox but I didn't like it that much. And I felt more weak than energized.

Name: Snicker

Comment: --->yunvme there are other celebrities that wear heavy make up and don't look older than what they are.....29 or 30 isn't much older than what she is and it is by no means old so why is it so hard for you to think that she can look 29 or 30....it's not like people said she looked 45 or 50.

Name: NJBLKGUY

Comment: Too much Vitamin A while pregnant increases the chance of having a retarded baby.

Name: yunvme

Comment: When I look at her I see a young lady.

Name: Platinum

Comment: Yunvme…..I’m with you on this one, what’s the big deal about Beyonce’s age? Why is it so hard to believe Beyonce will be 25 in a few months. Adding on 5 more years would she really look that much different than what she does now?

Name: Twizted

Comment: I think Beyonce looks older because she is so mature. Her and Britney Spears are about the same age and you would never know it. Bey doesn't look old, she just looks more mature.

Name: Snicker

Comment: --->yunvme i see a young lady too and a 30 year old is a young lady....beyonce isn't the only one out there that looks older than what she is supposed to be it's just that the article is about her....-->Twizted britney spears doesn't look 25 either.

Name: MsFresno

Comment: Beyonce looks her age and no older. She is a classy lady and if her and Brittney Spears are the same age.Britney is the one that looks worn and washed out. Black dont crack and Beyonce im sure later down the line will still look as fabulous.

Name: gr8st8

Comment: I think Beyonce is 25. I remember seeing a photo of Destiny's Child with Envogue in the early 90s and they (DC)looked like kids, maybe jr high age?? I don't know, but I don't think she's lying about her age, but Jay-Z that negro is 42 if he's a day!

Name: MzTee

Comment: Beyonce looks good to me and if the story is to be believed, I think it's great she is concerned about Jigga's health and encouraging him to eat healthier. JamerDELTA...thanks for the information on the master cleanse. I'll have to check it out. IJA...I tried the fruit flush plan too and it didn't work for me either. My energy level was fine, I was just hungry as hell. If the master cleanse can help curb my cravings, a sista will be set. (LOL)

Name: Twizted

Comment: I say you would never know Bey and Britney are the same age because of how differently they carry themselves! I hope her album is good, I liked the last one. I LOVE Ne-Yo's CD, love it!!

Name: VeeCee

Comment: ......yawwwwnnnnn...........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

Name: Snicker

Comment: just because i think beyonce is older than 25 doesn't mean that i don't think she looks good.....beyonce is a very pretty girl and she looks really nice in her clothes but she still looks older than 25 to me....--->gr8st8 you are right jay z ain't hardly nobody's 36.

Name: TMan

Comment: How did this turn into how old Beyounce really is? lol! Funny. If imdb.com is lyin, I would say then clock her age from that first time she appeared on the original Star Search. How old did they say she was on there and what year was that? Or had the younger age show biz age lying routine start then too for her via her peeps?

Name: OSUN

Comment: When you see Bee without all that make up and horses hair, she looks young to me. I like Beyounce, however I am realistic, she may be a tiny bit older than 25 but not 30. Also she is not classy. I am sorry. I don't think she will look like Chaka/Aretha b/c she is paid to the end of her days unless she does something really stupid like marry a BB and he spends all her money. She has enough money to maintain her good looks and weight when she approaches middle age like Janet.

Name: Snicker

Comment: --->TMan they had michael jackson saying he was 9 when he was 11 years old and they had shirley temple believing she was like 2 years younger than what she was so it's not like it hasn't been done.

Name: Michele

Comment: Is it me or has Jay-Z been 36 for about four or five years now?

Name: whynotme

Comment: --->Michele no it's not just you, jay z has definitely been 36 for the entire time that he and beyonce have been together.

Name: DallasDiva

Comment: I love Bee, she reps the Lone Star state too. But I have to agree Jayz has been 36 for ~4 years. In Nas' "Ether" he even said that Jay was 36. Now how long ago was that song out??

Name: Gurlfrand

Comment: If Be was born in 1982, she's around 24-25. She's very beautiful, classy, and very blessed. It's inevitable that people will be jealous of her beauty and success, based on some of these comments. People will never be happy for you no matter what. Hope her new c.d. is just as good or better than 2003.

Name: ImJustAsking

Comment: Osun< You're right, I forgot about plastic surgery. You know Aretha and Chaka kept it natural, B will definitely go the way of Janet and get everything nipped and tucked. Which reminds me I have some bra questions for you, I'm glad you showed up today. MzTee< LMAO co-sign on the fruit flush. I won't do that again! lol Gurlfriend< I for one am sooooooooo jealous of Beyonce, she's so perfect. *smirk*

Name: whynotme

Comment: --->Gurlfrand just because somebody may think beyonce looks older than what she is doesn't automatically mean somebody is jealous and isn't happy for her success.....i don't remember reading anyone posting "beyonce looks like an old hag and i wish she loses all of her fame and fortune!".....and i take it you know she was born in 1982 because you were in the delivery room at the time? because if you don't know her personally and haven't known her all her life how else would you know?

Name: MRJSY514

Comment: I knew it,I knew it, I knew it. I knew Matthew Knowles pushed Kelly Rowland's album release to next year so he could jam Beyonce down are throats. I really want her to give us a chance to miss her %*$. Maybe she will get the sophmore flop on this one. One thing for sure Matthew Knowles can't stop Letoya from her release. Kelly should have known better.

Name: ss69054

Comment: I do believe she may be older than 25 but who cares, she is doing her thang. I hope the album is worth listening to b/c there were only 2 to 3 songs on the last one..nowadays these artists have 1 or 2 major hits and that is all that is worth listening to the album b/c the rest is garbage.

Name: indipindintthnkr

Comment: Too much red, chyanne pepper aka chili powder causes ulcers and hemorrhoids! Just ask the Indians and Pakastanis. They're always getting nip tucks on their azzes! Literally lol!

Name: Gurlfrand

Comment: uh oh - no - I was not there. sorry you were the one in this pack that got hit.

Name: clotel

Comment: I like Beyonce including the other members of Destiny's Child. I think she is a grounded, articulate, beautiful and making her own money instead of being a gold digger. Kudos to her for her illustrious career because in the 'real world,' most women her age have several children outside of marriage by several men, a job instead of a career and lots of excuses - Keep doing the d@%$ thang B !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Name: Twizted

Comment: OOhhh, I did not even think about Kellys album being pushed back, shady!!!But maybe that is so B's name can be fresh in peoples minds when DreamGirls hit theatres. I keep hearing good things about it! Have any of you seen that Tommy Hilfiger commercial with B (it was a while ago) for I think the first perfume she did. Well, to me, that is when she looked the most beautiful. She did not have on a lot of make up, no hair blowing in the wind and she looked really natural and she looked really young too. It is the makeup and stuff that makes her look older. I hope she never does the plastic surgery thing, she doesn't need to. Some people do hate on her alot and it is probably because she seems to have this perfect life. But all that glitters ain't gold and I love my life just the way it is, I could always use some mo' money, but I am happy. I think you have to be happy to be able to be happy for others. I am so happy for all these black women doing it big in that industry. I was a little salty at B for not being at the Oprahs Legend thing, but I also noticed she was not in attendance when she won that song writing award, her dad accepted on her behalf, so I guess I can not be mad anymore!!

Name: whynotme

Comment: --->clotel you posted "in the 'real world,' most women her age have several children outside of marriage by several men, a job instead of a career and lots of excuses"...you need to leave outside of your neighborhood because i know plenty of women that are beyonce's age and have way more going on then you claim they do in the "real world".....and you know that most women 25 in the "real world" is like this because you went and did a poll and have proof of it right?

Name: clotel

Comment: WhynotMe - I do not have to do a poll - it is call volunteer work, which I have been doing for well over twenty years. My specialty is young women and I know what I see and hear better yet, look up the stats for yourself. Also, I have yet to meet a 25 year old who has it going on like Beyonce and I live in a major city. Stop me if I am lying but it is RARE to meet a young woman of this age who does not have a child and is not married but dragging that dreaded 'baby mama' title around instead.

Name: indipindintthnkr

Comment: clotel, I usually don't get into debates but I just gotta say, try an HBCU (there are plenty) where 80% of the graduates are young black and female w/o babies. Is that not part of this "real world?"

Name: Beezyuu

Comment: Beyonce look's a little older than 25, but she still is very beautiful and I'm glad she's being more concern about good health. I don't have any of her cd's so maybe if this new one is mature and classy (R&B/Jazz), I just might buy it.

Name: clotel

Comment: indipindintthnkr - I am very familiar with HBCU's sweetie as I have numerous friends who graduated from them, including a niece who graduated from Spelman Class of 2002. I wish I had the full black college experience but I went elsewhere. I am familiar with the stats for black women grads but it still has not reached the inner city as I preach endlessly about the benefits of college and I keep encountering people who want to be either a rapper or American Idol. My world is broad, I travel extensively and am well versed but what I see in the U.S. when it comes to that age group and education is completely unacceptable.

Name: essie

Comment: i love beyonce to death but whether she's 25 or 45 i'm sick of seeing her face. it's beyonce overload and i hope no one gets tired of seeing her. sometimes you need to take a break in between projects and if you're not going to, at least come out with something new and raw everytime not the same old bouncy, look at me %*$, i'm so fine and my man is a g, lyrics. i think when she goes through a lot more in life and it's not all cotton candy and roses, her lyrics will have a lot more heart and substance. least, that's what i'm hoping. as for her diet, go head girl, but ech! i'd rather do it the old-fashioned way. moderation and exercise. as for jigga, he reminds me of an old man trying to keep up with his young girlfriend. do your own thing and have some balls!

Name: OSUN

Comment: MK pushing back Kelly Rowlands CD is definitely for her benefit. Her CD will not compare to Bee's so she should be grateful Matthew is looking out for her.

Name: Lovely

Comment: OOOOOOOOOhhhhh, ya'll are a bunch of haters!!!! Does it matter how old B is vs. how old she looks? Her nose has NOT changed, I have every CD and it's the same nose! Rhianna is one of Jay's protoge's, he is trying to help sell her freaking CD -- it came out months ago and no one bought it -- she's on Def Jam -- Jay is the president of Def Jam -- have you people every heard of a marketing stragegy?? Beyonce is talented and none of these new chicks can compare to her or compete with her. Accept it!! She did not get famouse because of her collabo's with Jay (or with anyone else for that matter)... you can't sell 6 million CD's (Crazy in Love) based on a collaboration with your man. You do it because you have talent.

Name: QueenNefertina

Comment: clotel, your comments boarder on the ridiculous. You want innercity young women to aspire to Beyonce's level of success? You can't be serious. You also seem to have contempt for the very population you claim to serve. First of all, all that glitters is not gold and as you can see, alot of toes were stepped on for Beyonce to become the superstar that she is. Her parents dressed her and the other members of destiny's child like prostitutes, despite their 'southern christian girl' testimonials. They sold sex to a society obsessed with it and were therefore amptly rewarded. Although Beyonce is beautiful and talented that didn't seem to be enough, she has to strut around gyrating with moves even a stripper would envy. When the two former members of destiny's child complained about the favoritism they were cut. I am glad Letoya is back with her single which I must say I like and the video is nice as it does not rely on overt sexuality. I hope she keeps it responsible as there are young girls who look up to and try to imitate our so called 'celebritites'. We need to find role models for the children off the stages and courts as clearly those are not the best examples. That is why it is disturbing that you want innercity women to immulate a singer??? Why, are all the 'babymama's' you talk about talented singers??? And I also want people to stop always applauding women who don't have children as automatically having moral superiority over those that do, for all you know they could have had several abortions and that includes celebrities as well. Why not mention Fantasia as a role model if you want to use a singer, yes she is a 'babymama' as some would put it, but she struggled for her dream without the help of 'stage parents' and made a way for her whole family, mother, brother and daughter. And she didn't sugarcoat nothing, she keeps it real and positive. I also resent the fact that she did not win a role in dreamgirls, god knows that girl can out sing anybody. She just uses her talent and not her body, that's what is admirable. As for Beyonce and her man, I wish her well, but she should expect the worse, afterall he is the same person who wrote, he got 99 problems and a B!tch ain't one of um. That mentality doesn't just go away. But who knows they may beat the odds anyway.

Name: TMan

Comment: Without the $100 million dollar campaigns behind her and DC everytime they do something, would the average person even be mildly intrested in what she does? This is the difference between "stars" of today and "stars" of yesterday to me. Today they jam artists like Beyonce down our throats at every turn. It's too much. And half the time they aren't even deserving of our time or attention.

Name: Lovely

Comment: TMan, are you implying that Beyonce doesn't have talent and that you don't pay attention to her?

Name: clotel

Comment: QueenNefertina, the word 'role model' is a bit overused because through out your entire diatribe, I never saw once how you are making a difference to a young mind or better yet, your community. I volunteer because I enjoy doing it and not because I had to because of the church I attend. And guess what ? I am child-free by CHOICE (which by the way has very nothing to do with morals and values, it is called a LIFE CHOICE) and still have selfless love to assist those who I do not know. Your extensive use of words was somewhat captivating but it was only icing on the cake. As for Fantasia, I do not consider her a role model or none of the entertainers for that matter, that is why I have a mother and supportive extensive family, those are MY heros.

Name: Twizted

Comment: I think Beyonce has plenty of talent. I don't think her first album would have done so well without Jay being on Crazy in Love, because without him, that song was just OK. Same with Check on It, without Slim Thug, is is JUST OK! In order for these artist of today to sell, they feel all they can do is be sexy. I think Beyonce has alot of talent, but I am hoping this album says a little more than "I know you want my body"....I think Beyonce is jammed down our throats a little much because she has her hands in everything, commercials, videos, movies so as much as I like her, I get a little tired myself. I just hope that DreamGirls is good and her album and then she can take a rest!! And I pray she does not be shaking her as* as much as in the past because that gets to be a little much. As many young girls that want to be like her, I hope one day she starts reaching out to them letting them know the real deal. I won't even speak on the old Destiny's Child because I could NOT stand Beyonce back then. I just hated the way they made her seem like the only star in the group...and they took LeToya out cause she was cute, at times, especially back in the day, cuter than B, I know it!!!

Name: Lovely

Comment: Clotel, well spoken!! I just turned 30 a couple weeks ago and I don't have children BY CHOICE. I volunteer BY CHOICE. I get called selfish because I choose to focus on my career at this stage in my life and then I also have the pressure to have children because that's "what a woman is supposed to do". I can't win for losing! My mom always said you can't please all the people all the time! Looks like Beyonce is in the same boat...

Name: shan

Comment: I don't have a problem with Bey per se, but I think she's a little overexposed.

Name: Beezyuu

Comment: Dressing like a hooker and humping like you don't get enough sex sure has worked for Beyonce. If I caught my 12 year old doing that she would be going to boot camp immediately.

Name: nycmckoy

Comment: Who cares about her putting him on a diet, or her album for that matter. Didn't buy the first won't buy the next or the one after. This artist is way over-rated. When she can blow like Teena Marie or Regina Bell i'll put my money down on it.

Comment: Clotel- I work with the youth in the trenches, I encourage them to see themselves outside of the negative stereotypes this society would give them. But this post was not about 'me' I was responding to 'You' saying that 'beyonce' was something innercity women need to aspire to be. 'You' said that 'I' didn't. I applaud anyone who is responsible and doesn't have children until they are ready for the sacrifice and responsibility, just like I applaud those who stand up to the responsibility and reality when they do have children neither is better or worse than the other. Many of us would not even be here today if our mothers hadn't had the courage to have us against what others thought. Some of our greatest leaders were born of 'babymama's' So while I don't encourage it, I also don't look down on them either. And yes IMO Fantasia is a better singer and role model for innercity girls than Beyonce if I were to use a celebrity which I don't. I try to get them to focus on being the best 'they' can be, not on what some celebrity is doing, because I know the life we see is oftimes a lot less glamorous and happy than the one they actually live, money and all. We need to focus on the inside and not the outside, because the inside is what will sustain you in the long run. I use everything when I deal with the youth, history,media, their own thoughts, whatever, heck I would even use my name if it was like yours, 'clotel, the presidents daughter', a book about the slave daughter of thomas jefferson. I teach and I learn. Best believe I am about the youth.

Name: stscott

Comment: I am WITH ALL the people who said leave B alone. That girl looks GREAT at ANY AGE. Like she would be considered torn up at 30 y/o, that would say even more. I have to believe all the people who said something negative about the way B looks, LOOKS 110% better at whatever age they are. Give the lady credit and stop knit picking all the time. As for the comment about looking like Chaka Khan...that's just mean. Stay Positive

Name: LilMoe

Comment: ---->QueenNefertina I totally agree with you on that subject for all we know Beyonce had several abortion. I remember listening to the radio a few years back when they was talking about Jay and B wanting to marry each other and that was strange because they was only together for like 3 months now I know their not actual proof but I bet ya 9 times out of 10 her %*$ was knock up but because of her greedy father he probably made her get rid of it. Look at her younger sister Solonge they had an article out where the father was going to pay the press money to keep Solonge pregnancy a secret but sense they couldn't keep the pregnancy a secret the father made that guy marry his daughter to prevent the Knowles from having a bad name. I’m telling you if Solonge was an average female she would be a baby mamma. All I'm saying is Beyonce need to stop faking a fraud and stop portraying herself as this Christian when she dresses like a slut in most of her video and shakes her %*$ like a stipper.Dont get me wrong she's a beautiful sister with talent, it’s just makes me upset when they make it seems like Beyonce is the only talented sister out there let me tell you Rachell Ferrell, Kelly Price,Ledisi,and a few other I cant think of will blow her %*$ under the table but they aren’t noticed for their true talents because they aren’t in a image of a white woman nor are they selling sex like her. I know her father has to be paying and bribing people for her %*$ to getting this much attention. Like they always say what goes up must come down I notice celebrity they "Worship" has a terrible fall.Micheal Jackson for instance he dominated the music industry for over 25 years now look at him the same white people and worshiper that brought his %*$ to the top is feeding his %*$ to the dogs now, look at Whitney Houston she comes from a heavily Christian Back ground now look at her now, Lauryn Hill she was the %*$! for a few years now look at her. My thing is how will Beyonce handle rejection, how will she be able to handle it when someone come along and let her %*$ be pushed to the side. She better enjoy everything while it last because eventually her "season" will come to an end.
