R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is making headlines this week for reportedly being sued to the tune of $3 million over a copyright claim.
According to reports, a singer wants Queen Bey to throw up big bucks for banking on her “XOXO” anthem.
A background singer named Ahmad Javon Lane claims he wrote a song called “XOXO” and shared it with another singer who does background vocals for Beyonce. It’s a short story. He says in his lawsuit the song ended up in Beyonce’s hands and she ripped him off with what he says is a copycat song, “XO.” He wants at least $3 million. (TMZ)

This week, buzz about the singer’s BEYONCÉ Platinum Edition Box Set hitting store shelves later this month surfaced.
Due November 24, the 2 CD/2 DVD limited edition package will include two new songs, “7/11″ and “Ring Off,” plus four new and unreleased remixes featuring Kanye West (“Drunk in Love Remix”), Nicki Minaj (“Flawless Remix”), Pharrell Williams (“Blow Remix”), and Mr. Vegas (“Standing on the Sun Remix”). The original self-titled visual album, featuring 14 songs and 17 videos, is also included. (Rap-Up)
A fake tracklisting for a Queen Bey LP landed online Saturday (November 1).
The photo above has been circulating on Twitter today, leading many to believe it’s the tracklist for a new Beyonce album. There are a few problems with it, though, leading us to believe it could be fake. The most glaring issue is that Nov. 25 is actually a Tuesday this year, and not a Monday as the photo says. (Complex)
Pictures of Bey dressed up as Janet Jackson and daughter Blue Ivy donning gear representing late pop star Michael Jackson surfaced heading into the weekend.
Beyoncé took it back to 1989 and paid homage to Janet Jackson with her Halloween costume. Her daughter Blue Ivy also saluted pop’s first family by dressing as Michael Jackson, donning a glittery red jacket, hat, and aviator shades like the King of Pop. Not to be left out, Jay Z also got in the Halloween spirit, wearing a Jason mask while joining Jeezy on stage at Powerhouse. (Rap-Up)
