Beyonce Experience

Newlyweds Beyonce and Jay-Z reportedly had a marital fall-out during a gig, after the hip-hop mogul told a DJ to stop playing her hit, "Crazy in Love." Jay-Z was performing to a sold-out crowd at the Hollywood Bowl on Wednesday when he decided to rap over some popular songs.

The show's DJ began to play the 2003 track -- which Carter co-wrote and performs on -- when the rapper grabbed the microphone and jokingly yelled, "[Bleep] that. Sorry B but [bleep] that -- let's play something else." Knowles -- who was watching the gig from the side of the stage -- then reportedly stormed off, before Carter made his apologies to the star.But all must have been forgiven -- later the pair were openly cuddling and being affectionate at a private dinner for 40 friends and family, including former Destiny's Child star Michelle Williams, Knowles' mother Tina and sister Solange, Jay-Z's touring partner Mary J. Blige and new mom Christina Aguilera, at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel's Tropicana Bar after the show.

Just two weeks after exchanging vows with longtime boyfriend Jay-Z, it looks like Beyonce is following in his footsteps -- calling it quits from music, like Jay-Z attempted after the release of the Black Album. According to a report from New York's Daily News, the singer's cousin, Angelica Knowles, claims that Beyonce's next album will be her last as a recording artist, as she takes on a role behind the desk. Apparently, Beyonce will help her new husband scout talent for Jay-Z's new label.

Jay-Z is said to be on the verge of inking one of the biggest deals in music history with Live Nation Inc., reportedly worth $150 million. Via the deal, Live Nation would obtain a stake in everything from Jay's music to his music-related business for 10 years, as well as publishing, licensing and other rights. The company would also finance Jay'z entertainment venture, Roc Nation, which is rumored to include a record label, music publishing, talent consulting and managing projects.

This is where B would fit in, searching for new talent. Beyonce's first protégé is rumored to be an R&B artist named Chelsea Thomas. Reps for the singer could not be reached for comment.

Beyonce Knowles is no longer in PETA's doghouse. According to the Los Angeles Times, People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals has backed off its criticism of Knowles, who it claimed had worn fur stoles, coats, collars and wraps to various events. But now, after carefully examining red carpet footage, fashion photo shoots, paparazzi shots and assorted tabloids, PETA has determined that Beyonce was fur-free all winter. According to a posting on the group's website, Senior Vice President Lisa Lange sent Beyonce and new husband Jay-Z a faux-fur throw as a wedding gift to show there were no hard feelings. No comment yet from the Knowles camp.
