Beyonce Knowles Is Possibly Planning To Work As Husband Jay-Z's Talent Scout

Singer, actress and entertainer Beyonce Knowles is reportedly planning to retire from performing after recording her next album in order to serve as a talent scout for her new husband, rapper Jay-Z and his record label, Island Def Jam. Allegedly, Beyonce has already found her first recruit, according to one of Beyonce's cousins via a statement to the media.

Jay Z And Beyonce's Star-Studded NYC Wedding

So it seems that the rumors were true after all. Jay-Z and Beyonce appear to have wed on Friday Night at Jay-Z's multi-million dollar penthouse on Hudson Street at Desbrosses and Vestry Street in the TriBeCa section of Lower Manhattan.

I rushed over with my camera as soon as I heard the rumors (after all, I don't live far from there). Solange (sister of Beyonce) showed up (pictured above). Actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, singer Chris Martin of the band ColdPlay arrived (trying to cover their faces) to a media frenzy. Oscar winner Forest Whitaker showed up. Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child showed up hiding behind umbrellas to shield themselves from the paparazzi crush.

A fight between two photographers on the scene almost escalated to full-force mayhem when they began a push and shove match to get Gwyneth Paltrow's picture upon the actress' entrance into the luxury building where the event was being held.

Also in attendance were Gloria Carter (mother of Jay-Z) and Tina and Mathew Knowles (parents of Beyonce).

The event was rumored to be a celebration for Jay-Z's newly inked $150 million dollar deal with Live Nation, but quickly turned toward the idea that it was a wedding when guest arrived dressed impeccably and parents of both artists arrived, flowers were delivered, etc.

Are Beyonce And Jay-Z Getting Married Right This Moment?

I usually refrain from posting rumors on my blog, but it seems as if this one might have a grain of truth to it... MAYBE.

Singer Beyonce Knowles and rapper Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) appear to be getting married right now in the TriBeCa section of Lower Manhattan in NYC. All the Knowles' clan are there dressed in their Sunday best, flowers, the whole thing. The two have been involved in a hush-hush relationship since 2002 and they recently applied for a marriage license in Scardale Village, New York on April 1st (April Fools Day) and now this.

If it is true, congrats to the superstar couple.

Beyonce's Interview With Latina Magazine

Beyonce Knowles -- who is up for "Female Artist of the Year" at the VMAs and is reportedly up for a Latin Grammy along with Shakira for their collaboration on "Beautiful Liar" -- just did an interview with Latina Magazine.

Beyonce says:

"I'm just jealous that I wasn't born Latina. I wish I had been because the culture is so beautiful."

Beyonce really seems to appreciate Latin culture. She has been singing in Spanish at the concerts on her tour as well.

Beyonce goes on to say:

"I noticed a big difference between speaking to all of the Latino stations and speaking to the pop stations or the other stations. With the Latino stations, there was so much love and everyone is so genuine."

Although Ms. Knowles is of African American and Creole descent, she noticed the warmth of the Latino culture. Que rico!
