Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Beyonce has since returned to the US but not before she closed out Glastonbury, stopped by Piers Morgan and performed on X Factor France. Beyonce dropped her fourth studio album “4” this past Tuesday debuting in as many as 14 countries according to Billboard. Earlier this week we reported a story from NY Post that Columbia execs were not pleased with Beyonce’s final product. A Columbia exec has since squashed the rumor stating,

All the speculation that gets around is frustrating when it’s just not true. The story about us being unhappy with the record and stuff is just not true. There’s never been any doubt or conversations about moving the record or changing it… Those conversations never existed. We’re really, really happy with it.

There’s that. Watch Beyonce perform “Run the World, Girls” on X Factor: France

On another journey before heading back to the US, Beyonce stopped by Piers Morgan and the topic landed on babies. Beyonce who’s super excited to turn 30 in September coyly spoke on the subject ending with “Only God Knows”. Check it below:

While Piers is waiting for Beyonce let him know what “God” says, MTV will premiere “The Year of 4” tonight. A documentary that follows Beyonce on her journey over the past year that has lead her to completing “4”. Here’s a snippet from the press release:

“Beyoncé: Year of 4” is the story of Beyoncé’s return as an independent woman navigating her company through the rough waters of the music industry, making a personal album that’s unlike anything she’s ever done. After the much anticipated “I AM…” tour ends, Beyoncé finds herself in dire need of a break.

“Beyoncé: Year of 4” premieres at 7pm. Watch a sneak peak below:

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
