Beyonce' Moves Up Billboard's Social 50
Via Billboard.com:
Skyrocketing 25-14 on Billboard's Social 50 chart, Beyoncé rallies to a new chart high with a 334% burst in new week-over-week plays on monitored social networks and 142% boost in views. The jump is owed to attention gained from her new single "Run the World (Girls)," the diva's first single from her forthcoming fourth studio album.
"Run the World" has earned 1.46 million YouTube views since its YouTube premiere April 21, and also lands at No. 33 on this week's Billboard Hot 100. As well, Beyoncé released a video in support of First Lady Michelle Obama's campaign against childhood obesity called "Move Your Body." While neither song is on Vevo, other Beyonce videos on the site did see a 340% surge in plays.

"Watch The Throne" in Paris: Jay-Z & Kanye West Work on Album in Paris; Set to Record & Film Video With Beyonce'? B is Queen at the Ritz for Harper's Bazaar!
As we patiently await the joint album from Hip-Hop Royals, Jay-Z & Kanye West, the two were spotted in Paris today and it looks like they were headed to a studio. Kanye had his laptop in hand and Jay's still in studio mode (no hair-cut=recording).
I kinda figured that Kanye was headed to Paris when he was seen at Heathrow last week. I hope that we get a summer release date from the two music titans. Jay may be working on more than the callbo album, according to People.com: Multiple sources tell PEOPLE they (Jay & B) arrived with a lot of musical equipment. "They've set up a studio in another suite and have been working nights on her album," says one source. It's a working vacation for the pair, who reportedly are recording a new song featuring Kanye West, and possibly prepping a video, according to sources.
Not sure exactly when or if it's happened already, but I hope it's true. It is unknown if it will appear only on B's still untitled 4th studio album, or WTT and/or both albums.

King Hov: Jay-Z Set To Roc Rio
Roc Nation has just announced that Jay-Z will be performing at "Rock in Rio" in Rio de Janeiro, October 1, 2011.
It's Rio's annual music festival. It's huge and another good look for Jay. This will be the first time the 13 time Grammy winner will be performing at the fest, which brings together all different types of musical genres.
This year the fest will take place from September 23, 24, 25 & 30. As well as, October 1 & 2.
Jay has been in the studio for months now, which is evident from how long his hair is (he doesn't cut his hair when he's making an album). I wonder if he'll be debuting new music at the fest. Is he still working on "Watch the Throne" or his own solo album? Or maybe both?

The Carters Go International: Jay-Z & Beyonce' Enjoy Paris
Jay-Z and Beyonce' were spotted out and about in Paris today. The two were spotted after leaving dinner in matching black shades: true Roc Stars!
Jay-Z looked his usual Roc Star cool. His hair is still uncut, so that means he's still in the studio recording. I guess it's still for 'Watch The Throne' or is it for his new solo project. B looked flawless from head-to-toe, she roc'd a pair of python Louboutin pumps and, a to-die-for, Jimmy Choo"Rosabel" bag. The two Royals dined along the Champs-Elysées. Sweet!

The Queen Films An Epic:
By Monday the net was in an uproar and B was off to the Mojave Desert in Givenchy Haute Couture, Tuesday she went Gladiator-Diva in LA and she commanded her Girls while at the beach on Wednesday, Roc'n Alexander McQueen, no less! It is also said that their may have been a 4th day of just dance numbers filmed in LA. And we can't forget about Roberto Cavalli's tweet. He tweeted a picture of B wearing his clothes, while filming scenes for the video in New Jersey, in early April, (that was the tweet that got it all started). So, in all there may have been 4-5 days of shooting. Judging from the pictures and the many scenes, it definitely feels epic! Not to mention the 200 dancers and the Afrikan dance numbers, which are also rumored to be a part of the video. Anxiously waiting!!!
