BET Producer Suspended For Blue Ivy Joke 

By Associated Press / Page Six, Aug. 27, 2014, Pagesix.com

BET has suspended a producer after a joke about Beyoncé and Jay Z‘s daughter that aired Monday on the network’s music video countdown show, “106 & Park.”

A source at BET, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not allowed to discuss the matter publicly, said the producer was suspended after a remark about 2-year-old Blue Ivy‘s hair.

On Monday’s show during a segment about Blue Ivy’s hypothetical thoughts during Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, guest host Karrueche Tran said: “I really did wake up like this, because my parents never comb my hair.” Blue Ivy joined her mother onstage at the VMAs.

Stephen Hill, BET’s president of music programming and specials, publicly apologized on Twitter.

“Last night on 106 & Park there was a stupid, unthoughtful joke made about a young child,” Hill tweeted.

Hill also said the network privately apologized to Beyonce and Jay Z.

BET didn’t return an email seeking comment Wednesday.

Tran, who has dated singer Chris Brown, tweeted Tuesday that she did not write the joke. She wrote: “Now y’all know I LOVE me some Beyonce and Blue Ivy!”

Hill also tweeted that it was not Tran’s fault.

“We also apologize to her for putting her in that position,” he wrote.

Beyonce MTV VMAs 'Feminist' Performance: Twitter Reacts To 'Double Standard'

By Daisy Wyatt, Aug. 25, 2014, Independent.co.uk

It was the image that provoked the biggest online debate during last night’s MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles.

Not Nicki Minaj undergoing a wardrobe malfunction, Miley Cyrus asking a homeless man to accept her award orKaty Perry dressed as Britney Spears, but a picture of Beyoncé performing in front of a giant neon ‘Feminist’ sign.

During her 15 minute performance, the singer used a sample from novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s TED speech “We should all be feminists” in her song “Flawless”.

Many took to Twitter to praise Beyoncé for promoting feminism through popular culture and for helping to break down the negative stigma surrounding the word.

However, others were concerned that the singer’s version of feminism appeared to have been interpreted as overt objectification, pointing to lyrics such as “Bow Down Bitches” and her sexually provocative dancing.
