Beyonce at the 'Cadillac Records' premiereAt the end of the interview after I said thanks, there was a pause...then both Beyonce and I said it at the same time: "Happy Anniversary."

 

Sure enough, she & Jay-Z and me & Syd-B got married on April 4th -- they in '08, us in '98...sweet coincidence but it didn't move her to open the floodgates and gush about her marriage. She doesn't do it, neither does he. And I get it.

 

I did go there in a respectful and intelligent way.

 

Loosely: "You grew up well to do. Your father was a top salesman for Xerox, mom did well too and church was important.  Your husband grew up hustlin' in the streets of Bed-Stuy...how much of falling for the kid from the other side of the tracks involved you having to throw caution to the wind?"

Her response: "That is a good question."  Although tempted to answer because she knows it's an amazing story. Well to do southern belle falls for hustlin' street kid from New York...she couldn't. I'm guessing personal life privacy was part of their nuptials.

 

Her publicist interceded on her behalf. But B said, "I'll answer you after the interview." 

 

Tears poured out of her when I asked about the love and support of her parents.

 

Given her sore throat and hoarse voice, I asked: "Do you wish mom was with you now?"

 

She responded: "She is." And then the tears got heavy, because there it was in action, mom WAS with her as she has always been!  We paused the interview so she could stop the tears. Then she called me "Barbara" (Walters). Some laughs were had especially as we looked back at old photos of the seminal moments of her career. 

 

This interview is good. More personal and intimate than you've ever seen from one of the biggest stars in the world. I hope you tune in for it.

 

Much love from Alaska Airlines flight 526.  BB

I'm sure she doesn't love Jay-z. She said in an interview back in 06 that she isn't sure if he is the men for live. i mean..come on that's pretty unfair to say and then she married him two years later..I'm more than disappointed from that..hoply one day i can tell that jay.

I think I'm just about over the Beyonce phase. I agree, the girl is so fake it is sickening and she insults my intelligence (as a grown up). And before anybody can jump down my throat for having my own opinion (and not the one her and her camp try to force feed everyone...), I am not hating on B. I'm just keepin' it real. She has no depth.

Some of y'all need to stop with the hating and crazy lies. That was a moving and touching clip. How can u say she's faking her emotions and love for her mother?!? Are some of y'all that consumed with hate,that u would blatantly hate on her for expressing her feelings?!? Anyhow Keep up the good work Beyonce,We your true fans love you and appreciate your vocal talents.

I'm still amazed at how much they're still into each other even after this much time. Love the "...falling for the kid from the other side of the tracks..." but the real question out there is what are Beyonce's measurements

Beyonce Knowles - dazzling beauty, sexy and stylish, well-danced and had a magnificent voice. I think that Beyons has become the most popular young singer in the contemporary pop scene. I often listen to her songs. Usually I downloading them from this site http://bestmp3.dyndns.dk/Beyonce/artist3377.html.

Beyonce was seen wearing the most incredible necklace. It's even on Google news. I did some research and found out it Bullets4Peace. I wish I could get one. I think a lot of celebrities are wearing them. Does anyone know if they are available for everyone?
