			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2KHFNdQZJHs" frameborder="0" width="560" height="345"></iframe></p>
<p>In a departure from her traditional dance-filled videos, Beyoncé&#8217;s video for her song &#8220;1+1&#8243; features just her. Throughout most of the video, only Beyoncé is pictured in the shot wearing a gold, sequined dress or leopard print lingerie.</p>
<p>The video is appropriate for the song, which is a slow, love ballad. Beyoncé simply sings the song staring straight into the camera with a sincerity that seems genuine. She even lets tears roll down her eyes in one of the shots.</p>
<p>About halfway through, the video heats up, showing male hands caressing Beyoncé&#8217;s body. The shot then expands and depicts Beyoncé and a shirtless male model moving sensualy to the song. Shortly after, she cools herself down by rubbing an ice cube over her face and lips.</p>
<p>The video ends with just music, without lyrics, and images of Beyoncé with the visual effect of looking through a kaleidoscope. The last shot returns to the image that opened the video; a glistening, golden, sultry Beyoncé.</p>

<p>The “Single Ladies”  singer’s mom, Tina Knowles, during a taped appearance on &#8220;The Ellen DeGeneres Show&#8221; that will air Thursday, said the pregnancy talk is just gossip. </p>
<p>&#8220;No, it&#8217;s not true. Not right now. I&#8217;m looking forward to it. With all the rumors, by now I should have five or six grandchildren,&#8221; she said. “I heard that, but I&#8217;m here to clear the rumors up. The truth is that it&#8217;s not Beyoncé that&#8217;s pregnant, it&#8217;s me. I&#8217;m kidding ya&#8217;ll. I&#8217;m 56.”</p>
<p>OK, so what is the truth?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>At least, according to some outlets! “Single Ladies” singer Beyoncé Knowles and her “Empire State of Mind” rapper husband Jay-Z are expecting their first child, US Weekly magazine reported on Wednesday.</p>
<p>According to the magazine, the 29-year-old R&amp;B diva was surprised to learn she is in her first trimester of the pregnancy. She wanted to finish another album but was overjoyed, sources told the mag.</p>
<p>Beyoncé&#8217;s younger sister, Solange, who has a six-year-old child, said, “She&#8217;s got the most beautiful heart. She&#8217;ll be a great mom.”</p>
<p>As the one of music&#8217;s most influential and wealthy couple, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, 40, were married in a secretive ceremony in New York in 2008.</p>
<p>The rapper is set to release a memoir in November called “Decoded,” while Beyoncé earlier this year completed a world tour promoting her 2008 hit studio album, &#8220;I am&#8230;Sasha Fierce.&#8221;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[It's halfway through the Grammys. Have you been watching? ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Okay, we may have been unfair about the Lady Gaga and Elton John (though outfits were equally outrageous). That may very well have been the best opening to the Grammys in years. She might bring the word eccentric to a whole new level, but Lady Gaga knows how to work a stage. It was also nice to see respect given to Sir Elton John by transgressing from &#8220;Poker Face&#8221; to &#8220;Speechless&#8221; rather than the debauchery last year when Stevie Wonder was coerced into singing &#8220;Burnin&#8217; Up&#8221; with the Jonas Brothers. New school and old school collaborations are always an interesting event, but it has to be done right.</p>
<p>Taylor Swift picked up a trophy for Best Country Album, but we wonder how believable her super-surprised face will be throughout the night if she gets brought up for any more awards. </p>
<p>Beyonc© also added more Grammy trophies to her tally, but was anyone else thrown off by that performance? Perhaps she might be tired of performing &#8220;Single Ladies&#8221;, but &#8220;If I Were a Boy&#8221;? The choice seems odd since it is not an upcoming single and not a reason for her presence at the awards this year. The split off into Alanis Morissette&#8217;s &#8220;You Oughta Know&#8221; was also random considering Morissette herself never appeared on stage. Beyonc© delivered a power-house performance as always, but the message was lost in translation on this one.</p>
<p>Multi-nominated Pink also wowed audiences with a flying-high trapeze performance. The stunts were reminiscent of her earlier VMA performance, but even more daring. At one point she was hanging upside down, held up by a thin sheet wrapped around only one leg, dazzling the audience while spraying them with water which had been poured down her body. </p>
<p>The Grammy Board was feeling a little bit country this year, awarding The Zac Brown Band with Best New Artist over indie rockers MGMT and catchy sensations The Ting Tings. </p>
<p>So far the Grammys have gone without any incredibly awkward moments, minus Stephen Colbert&#8217;s acceptance speech for Best Comedy Album. His intro remark &#8220;Since this is a Christmas album, I should thank Jesus Christ!&#8221; which was met with a noticeable silence from the Grammy crowd. His &#8220;..for having such an awesome birthday!&#8221; attempt at recovery didn&#8217;t help much, but alas no one rushed the stage to call him out on it, so consider it still a success. </p>
<p>Kings of Leon pulled a huge upset when they stole Record of the Year out from under Beyonc©, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift for their smash hit, love anthem of the year, &#8220;Use Somebody&#8221;. This upset may be a game changer for bets on the last award of the night, Album of the Year. Anyone still think it&#8217;s going to one of the three ladies of the night? </p>
<p>Still upcoming are performances by Taylor Swift and Bon Jovi (song chosen by voters on cbs.com/grammys), as well as an all-star Michael Jackson tribute presented in 3-D. We didn&#8217;t pick up those exclusive glasses from Target, so you&#8217;ll have to tell us if it was worth it. Stay tuned to Blast for a post-show wrap-up and tell us your thoughts on the awards! Meanwhile check out these Wireimage shots of the show highlights. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[Blast weighs in on the Grammy Awards. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Welcome to Blast&#8217;s (mostly) live coverage of the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. We, like you, are watching the awards from our living room and reporting on the &#8220;Oh no!&#8221;s and &#8220;Wow!&#8221;s of the evening to keep you updated. </p>
<p>Tonight has already been set up as a girl&#8217;s world with Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga competing for all the top honors. Beyonc© has already claimed four of her 10 nominations, Swift has grabbed two out of her eight with a remaining five hopeful categories, including Best Country Song &#8220;White Horse&#8221;. Lady Gaga has also tied Swift for two trophies in the pre-telecast awards. </p>
<p>The ladies winning are not a sure thing though. Kings of Leon, who have already picked up a Best Rock Song trophy, could pull an upset in the Record of the Year category, and don&#8217;t forget party-jammers Black Eyed Peas who are also nominated for the biggest award of the evening. </p>
<p>Tonight feels like it might be the night for Beyonc© as far as awards go, but with the relevancy of the Grammy Awards up for debate, Blast is interested in a few other things besides trophies. Will Elton John manage to look more flamboyant in his intro with Lady Gaga? How many people will get poked in the eye by her outfit? How much money did the Michael Jackson estate rack up on those 3-D glasses from Target? Will Taylor Swift be able to finish an acceptance speech since Kanye&#8217;s invitation to this year&#8217;s awards was lost in the mail? You tell us, and check out these Wireimage photos from the red carpet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>The compilation album featuring musical performances from last Friday&#8217;s Hope For Haiti Now telethon debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 200 chart.  The album sold 171,000 units and currently sits atop the iTunes top albums charts as well.  &quot;Hope For Haiti Now&quot; also holds the honor of being the first digitally-exclusive album to be top of the charts.  The charity album (artists donate their share in the proceeds to relief organizations) features twenty songs by artists such as Sting, Jennifer Hudson, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Beyonce.  Three of these singles have already cracked the iTunes top twenty, &quot;Hallelujah&quot; by Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris (2), &quot;Lean On Me&quot; by Sheryl Crow, Kid Rock, and Keith Urban (12), and &quot;Breathless&quot; by Taylor Swift (19). </p>
<p>&quot;Hope For Haiti Now&quot; racked up these impressive sales numbers after only being available for pre-order beginning last Thursday and furthermore was the &quot;biggest one-day album pre-order in iTunes history&quot; according to MTV.com.  The album proceeds benefit the following organizations: Oxfam America, Partners in Health, the Red Cross, UNICEF, United Nations World Food Programme, Yele Haiti Foundation, and the Clinton Bush Haiti Foundation. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[The pop goddess promotes yet another Nintendo product.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Pop goddess Beyonce, now shades of who she <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQgd6MccwZc" target="_blank">once was</a>, renewed her contract with Nintendo recently and will do much more than promote Nintendo games, she&#8217;ll be hyping her own digs too!</p>
<div id="attachment_37050" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/500x_beyonce1.jpg" rel="lightbox[37038]" title="500x_beyonce1"><img class="size-full wp-image-37050" title="500x_beyonce1" src="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/500x_beyonce1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Shooting the new commercials</p></div>
<p>The <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Destiny&#8217;s Child member</span> singer/actress appeared in many Rhythm Heaven ads for Nintendo last year but in 2010 she&#8217;ll promote, through Nintendo, her clothing line Der©on, a line co-created by herself and her mother Tina Knowles.</p>
<div id="attachment_37051" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/500x_beyoncetop.jpg" rel="lightbox[37038]" title="500x_beyoncetop"><img class="size-full wp-image-37051" title="500x_beyoncetop" src="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/500x_beyoncetop.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Beyonce looking fine.</p></div>
<p>As part of the renewed partnership, gamers with a copy of Style Savvy can download five designs from Beyonc©&#8217;s clothing line, which Beyonce must hope will lead to sales of her real-world apparel.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Style Savvy is all about creativity and fashion, both of which are really important to me,&#8221; says Beyonc©. &#8220;I love that I get to become a stylist and take over my own boutique, and it&#8217;s so much fun to see some of my Der©on designs added to the mix.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The ads with Beyonce and Style Savvy will begin invading televisions everywhere on Nickelodeon prior to, and during the Kid&#8217;s Choice Awards in March.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Ever since we first saw that &#8220;Rhythm Heaven&#8221;<a title="advertisement" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QVWwrZyz7o" target="_blank"> advertisement</a> and heard Beyonce&#8217;s adorable laugh, we knew she was up to something. And today we know what her real aspirations are. She wants to make a video game!</p>
<p>Speaking with <a title="Billboard" href="http://www.billboard.com/#/features/beyonce-the-billboard-q-a-1004018346.story?page=4" target="_blank">Billboard</a>, the singer/actress/producer remarked how her love of Wii Fit made her want to create a fitness game that incorporates dancing into its regimen.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m interested in a lot of different things. I&#8217;d like to get involved in videogames since I really love Wii Fit. I think it would be a great idea to incorporate choreography because for me my workout is way more fun when it involves dancing as opposed to running on a boring treadmill. So I would love to do some kind of fitness game but incorporate dance and performance into it. I think a lot of women would enjoy that.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Sure, it sounds alot like she&#8217;s talking about Dance Dance Revolution, but with that series receding and Beyonce the mainstay that she is, if any face can sell the game, it&#8217;s hers.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The 2009 MTV VMAs were filled with great performances and drama, but very few actual awards. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Beyonce was the big winner at last night&#8217;s MTV Video Music Awards, taking home the big prize of Video of the Year for &#8220;Single Ladies&#8221;. It seemed to be lady&#8217;s night at MTV because Lady Gaga took home the honors for &#8220;Best New Artist&#8221; while Britney Spears took &#8220;Best Pop Video&#8221;. Green Day beat out Kings of Leon and Fall Out Boy for Best Rock Video, but the awards were ironically a very insignificant part of last night&#8217;s show. </p>
<p>Just in case you have been in a coma for the past 24 hours, the first thing you need to know about last night&#8217;s awards is that Kanye West should no longer be allowed on the premises. By Blast calculations, this is the third year that Kanye has publicly displayed his outrage at the MTV selection for an award. This year&#8217;s victim was America&#8217;s country sweetheart Taylor Swift, who won the first award of the night &#8220;Best Female Video.&#8221; In outrage that Beyonce didn&#8217;t win for &#8220;one of the best videos of all time&#8221; Kanye rushed the stage, took Taylor&#8217;s microphone during her acceptance speech, and proclaimed Beyonce should have been the winner leaving Miss Swift in horrified silence. Twitter explosions and blog frenzies after report that Swift was to be seen sobbing backstage after the debacle.</p>
<p><a href="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ladygaga.jpg" rel="lightbox[26007]" title="ladygaga"><img src="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ladygaga-222x300.jpg" alt="Lady Gaga accepting &quot;Best New Artist&quot; award" title="ladygaga" width="222" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26008"/></a>Outside of the dramatics, the VMAs this year contained a lot of W-t-fness, and that isn&#8217;t necessarily a bad thing. Every cut to Lady Gaga gave viewers a peak at outrageous outfit after outrageous outfit. Apparently being able to see was not a major concern when making fashion decisions. Equally as twisted was her live performance. Gaga performed her latest mega hit &#8220;Paparazzi&#8221; on the VMA stage. She lived up to her reputation of a fantastic live performance, but the crowd and viewers alike were a little disturbed by Gaga&#8217;s literal perception of the paparazzi killing her when she poured blood over her and then pseudo hung herself from the VMA ceiling. </p>
<p><a href="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/pink.jpg" rel="lightbox[26007]" title="pink"><img src="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/pink-201x300.jpg" alt="pink" title="pink" width="201" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-26009" /></a>R&#038;B badass Pink also used a harness for her VMA performance, which may have been the most impressive of the night. Pink performed the entire sang, hanging about 50 feet off the ground, flipping around and somersaulting with her trapeze partner. The most amazing part of the stunt was that she was continuing to sing live &#8220;&quot; no lip syncing &#8220;&quot; as she continuously flipped head over heels. </p>
<p>In fact there wasn&#8217;t a bad musical performance the entire night. Taylor Swift was impressive with her take over of the 42nd street subway station and subsequent Times Square performance. Beyonce amazed audiences not only with her fancy leg work but the fact that she didn&#8217;t have a wardrobe malfunction visa Janet Jackson at the Superbowl. Jay-Z and Alicia Keys topped off the night with their new duet, but it was the opening of the show that stole most of the attention. </p>
<p><a href="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/janet.jpg" rel="lightbox[26007]" title="janet"><img src="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/janet-199x300.jpg" alt="janet" title="janet" width="199" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26010" /></a>This year&#8217;s VMAs kicked off with a Janet Jackson led tribute to her late brother, King of Pop, Michael Jackson. It was touching and very fitting that this year&#8217;s awards were dedicated to a man who took music videos to a new height. Dancers recreated moves from the iconic &#8220;Thriller&#8221; before Janet arose on stage and re-created the moves from &#8220;Scream&#8221; while Michael&#8217;s mirroring performance played on the screen behind. Intermittently throughout the show, props were given to Michael as well as a full trailer of &#8220;This Is It&#8221;, the film compiled of all the rehearsal footage before his death, which will appear in theatres nationwide on October 28. </p>
<p>Performances really took precedence at the awards. Only five trophies were given out during the actual aired show. Equally as insignificant was host Russell Brand. While admittedly hilarious in his own right, British stand-up comic Brand fell flat as returning host of the awards. While MTV was probably banking on Brand&#8217;s gained notoriety over the past year, his brash humor didn&#8217;t translate well to the stage. It seemed that producers spent more time cutting to commercial after Brand&#8217;s crude punchlines than letting him speak, and that&#8217;s when he was brought on stage to introduce anyone at all. Though Brand has conquered television hosting, movies and even the New York Time&#8217;s bestseller&#8217;s list with his autobiography &#8220;My Booky Wook&#8221;, hosting just may not be his thing. </p>
<p>Overall, the show was surprisingly entertaining, especially considering the disappointing past couple of years. There wasn&#8217;t a boring moment during the entire two and a half hour runtime. Last night&#8217;s show was so well put together that it might have actually succeeded in distracting people from the fact that the ceremony is completely irrelevant. Seriously, when was the last time MTV even played a video? </p>

<p>Kanye pulled another stunt at MTV&#8217;s Video Music Awards last night &#8211; effectively embarrassing Taylor Swift, Beyonce and himself.</p>
<p>When a stunned 19-year-old Taylor took the stage to accept the award for Best Female Music Video, she only managed to get a few words of thanks and surprise out before Kanye took the mic from her hands. &#8220;Taylor, I&#8217;m really happy for you, and I&#8217;m gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,&#8221; he said. And then he was gone.</p>
<p>Poor Taylor was left in stunned silence on stage and cameras turned to a clearly embarrassed Beyonce, who later won Video of the Year. During her acceptance speech, she invited Taylor on stage to give her another shot at her moment. A very nice gesture, but I doubt Taylor feels much better about the evening.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If it's true, Matt &#038; Kim get a VMA and Lady Gaga gets 6]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p><a href="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/vma2541.jpg" rel="lightbox[25850]" title="vma2541"><img src="http://blastmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/vma2541-218x300.jpg" alt="vma2541" title="vma2541" width="218" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-25851" /></a>If the list of winners of the 2009 <a href="/tag/mtv">MTV</a> VMA&#8217;s that&#8217;s currently circulating entertainment forums and boards is legitimate, someone at MTV probably will be out of a job tomorrow.  The leaked list shows all the winners of the major categories, including Best New Artist and Video of the Year.</p>
<p>So who&#8217;s racking up the moon-men this year?  By the looks of it, <a href="/tag/lady-gaga">Lady Gaga</a> might be going home with six awards tomorrow evening.  She will allegedly be collecting awards for most of the major categories like Best New Artist.  She should also be receiving Best Pop Video and Video of the Year for her song &#8220;Poker Face&#8221; while her song &#8220;Papparrazzi&#8221; earns her Best Direction, Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction.   </p>
<p>Rapper Eminem also seems to be winning big with Best Male Video, Best Hip-Hop Video, and Best Special Effects for &#8220;We Made You.&#8221;   </p>
<p>Also according to the list, artists Matt &#038; Kim are the winners for Breakthrough Video.  Matt &#038; Kim will be playing Lansdowne Pub on October 7.   </p>
<p>With the leakage of a document like this, obviously its validity has been called into question.  Could Lady Gaga really win that many awards over rivals <a href="/tag/beyonce">Beyonce</a> and <a href="/tag/britney-spears">Britney Spears</a>?  There is much speculation about the Best New Artist award as well because voting for that category is still open to people.  Unless based on the number of votes already tallied, Lady Gaga has such a ridiculous lead that she&#8217;s already been declared the winner.  Or it&#8217;s all one big conspiracy and MTV just picks the artist they think should win.  Form your theories now.   </p>
<p>The Britney and Beyonce fan bases feeling ill at ease about Lady Gaga&#8217;s possible domination should know that neither female seems to be going home empty-handed.  Spears is supposed to walk away with Best Editing for &#8220;Circus&#8221; and Beyonce with &#8220;ËœBest Female Video&#8217; and &#8220;ËœBest Choreography&#8217; for &#8220;ËœSingle Ladies (Put a Ring on it).&#8217;   </p>
<p>The 2009 VMA&#8217;s air live tomorrow at 9 p.m. hosted by British comedian Russell Brand.  Tune in to see if the leak was real or an elaborate PR stunt by MTV. </p>

<p>The gig was slated for Saturday night as part of the launch of the singer&#8217;s &#8220;I Am &#8220;¦ Sasha Fiece&#8221; tour. But on Wednesday night, after $100,000 of preparations at M2 where tables for the show sold for thousands of dollars, Beyonce&#8217;s people called to cancel. </p>
<p>&#8220;We had an overwhelming response from our club goers, who were lining up to buy tickets and tables. This will come as a great disappointment to all of them,&#8221; Morrissey told Page 6. &#8220;If Beyonce cancels and doesn&#8217;t give us a new date, this hurts our credibility in night life.&#8221; </p>
<p>Beyonce offered to appear at the club for an hour the same night, though she still wouldn&#8217;t perform. This, of course, doesn&#8217;t help Morrissey at all, as he&#8217;ll have to deal with a huge financial loss and plenty of angry club goers. According to Page 6, he&#8217;ll be suing for $1 million.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><p>Research from security firm McAfee shows that some celebrities are just dangerous to Google and search for around the web because of the litany of fake websites out there that try to infect your computer with viruses and malicious code as you innocently seek out wallpaper and screensavers of your favs.</p>
<p>Brad Pitt leads the pack on a list that includes Jessica Alba and‚ Katherine Heigl.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fans searching for &#8220;Brad Pitt,&#8221; &#8220;Brad Pitt downloads,&#8221; and Brad Pitt wallpaper, screen savers and pictures have an 18% chance of having their PCs infected with online threats, such as spyware, spam, phishing, adware, viruses and other malware,&#8221; McAfee said. &#8220;Cybercriminals are using A-listers&#8217; names and images, like Beyoncƒ© and Justin Timberlake, to lure Internet users who surf the Web for the latest gossip, screen savers and ringtones to &#8220;fake&#8221; Web sites that look legitimate.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>The list includes:</strong></p>
<p>1. Brad Pitt &#8211; When &#8220;Brad Pitt screensavers&#8221; was searched, more than half of the resulting Web sites were identified as containing malicious downloads with spyware, adware and potential viruses.</p>
<p>2. Beyoncƒ© &#8211; Inputting &#8220;Beyoncƒ© ringtones&#8221; into a search engine yields risky Web sites that promote misleading offers to gather consumers&#8217; personal information.</p>
<p>3. Justin Timberlake &#8211; Interest in his high-profile relationships makes him an easy target for spammers and hackers. When searching for &#8220;Justin Timberlake downloads&#8221; one Web site advertised free music downloads that were flagged as directly leading to spam, spyware and adware.</p>
<p>4. Heidi Montag &#8211; &#8220;The Hills&#8221; star is a popular search term when it comes to searching for wallpaper. A host of wallpaper Web sites contained hundreds of malware-laden downloads.</p>
<p>5.  Mariah Carey &#8211; Spammers and hackers are using Mariah Carey screen saver Web sites to link to other sites proven to contain spyware, adware and other threatening downloads.</p>
<p>6. Jessica Alba &#8211; Red-ranked risky sites were identified when searching for &#8220;Jessica Alba&#8221; and &#8220;Jessica Alba downloads.&#8221; The sites contained hundreds of malicious downloads, links to other bad sites, misleading offers to gather information, and a high number of spam emails when an email address was provided.</p>
<p>7. Lindsay Lohan &#8211; This young Hollywood starlet is as dangerous to search online as she is famous. Searching for &#8220;Lindsay Lohan downloads&#8221; resulted in several dangerous Web sites laden with hidden adware.</p>
<p>8. Cameron Diaz &#8211; Cybercriminals use download Web sites related to Cameron Diaz&#8217;s image to link to other harmful sites containing spyware.</p>
<p>9. George Clooney, Rihanna &#8211; The technology found one Web site embedded with hundreds of dangerous wallpaper and photo downloads after inputting &#8220;George Clooney downloads.&#8221; &#8220;Rihanna pictures&#8221; was also a risky search term, as McAfee identified a site that spammed its test email address.</p>
<p>11. Angelina Jolie &#8211; When &#8220;Angelina Jolie downloads&#8221; was searched, the software highlighted a risky site with 978 hidden malware-infected wallpaper and photo downloads, as well as links to other potentially dangerous URLs.</p>
<p>12. Fergie &#8211; A Fergie screen saver site was flagged as offering 111 risky downloads that could seriously compromise a PC&#8217;s privacy with unwanted spyware and adware.</p>
<p>13. David Beckham, Katie Holmes &#8211; The &#8220;David Beckham&#8221; search term generated a great deal of wallpaper and screen saver downloads veiled with malware. Consumers should also exercise caution when searching for &#8220;Katie Holmes&#8221; online &#8211; one download site advertised free screen savers that, if downloaded, would infect your computer with malicious programs like spyware.</p>
<p>15. Katherine Heigl &#8211; Hollywood&#8217;s big headliner in recent years is now susceptible to Internet lurkers too. &#8220;Katherine Heigl&#8221; was searched and a site was identified containing hundreds of malware-infected pictures.</p>
<p>‚ &#8221;Cybercriminals employ numerous methods, yet one of the simplest but most effective ways is to trick consumers into infecting themselves by capitalizing on Americans&#8217; interest in celebrity gossip,&#8221; said Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee&#8217;s Product Development and Avert Labs. &#8220;Tapping into current events, pop culture or commonly browsed sites is an easy way to achieve this. And because of Americans&#8217; obsession with following celebrities&#8217; lifestyles, they are an obvious target. We have to take precautions in casually navigating the Web since many subtle sites may be rife with malware for consumers&#8217; computers.&#8221;</p>

It also includes performances by special guest artist Jay-Z as well as that evening&#8217;s reunion of Beyonce with Destiny&#8217;s Child.</p>
<p>Beyonce launched her 2007 world tour in Tokyo on April 10 following the release of her latest chart-topping album, &#8220;B&#8217;Day,&#8221; bringing the multi-media extravaganza stateside beginning July 6 at the Superdome in New Orleans.</p>
