Beyoncé had a new wax figure of herself unveiled at Madame Tussauds Blackpool, as she rocked a sparkly bodysuit and matching gloves. However, like typical wax figures, many online thought it bore zero resemblance to the musical icon. While they tried their best (again), many felt that the statue looked more like Leah Remini.

For those who don’t know who Remini is, she is an actress who starred in The King Of Queens. Over the past few years, she has also been dedicated to exposing Scientology after leaving them in 2013. Her TV documentary series about it has won two Emmy Awards, and she wrote a bestselling memoir.

Or, as one user simply put it: “This that lady that be telling the church of Scientology business.”

“I really thought that’s who it was supposed to be tbh,” another added.

As the discussion gained traction, with TMZ Live posing it as a question to see if more people felt it looked like Remini, she eventually chimed in with her thoughts.

“I am screaming!” Remini posted. “And loving all the tweets! This perimenopausal woman will take any and all comparisons to the beautiful Beyoncé!”

Others felt like it resembled different celebrities too. “This is Maya Rudolph as Beyoncé in an SNL skit,” one replied.

“baby thats tinashe,” someone else thought.

Check out the latest Beyoncé wax figure attempt and Leah Remini’s response above. Below, find more fan reactions.

Beyonce Wax Figure Looks More Like Other Celebs, Social Media Says

by

Many have tried to imitate Beyonce over the years, but none have succeeded as flawlessly as they’d hoped – including Madame Tussauds. The world-famous wax museum has made numerous statues of the “Halo” hitmaker for their locations all across the globe, some more flattering than others. Their latest take on Queen B debuted today (February 8) in Blackpool. Now that photos of the creation are making rounds online, debate is ensuing about which other celebrities the waxwork looks more like.

On one hand, some think that this might be the closest Tussauds has come to bringing Beyonce to life. Others, however, think the brand has work to do in terms of the mother of three’s face card. Thankfully, her RENAISSANCE Era outfit was perfectly on point, and her hair looked as fabulous as ever. As you might’ve heard, Bey announced just a few days ago that her Cecred line is coming soon to help keep all of her fans’ manes looking full, fresh, and healthy.

Madame Tussauds Gives Beyonce Another Go

At the same time that Bey arrived at the Blackpool museum, they also welcomed a new figure of pop sensation Lady Gaga. She and the Houston native previously worked together on “Telephone,” and now they’re sharing space again on the floor of the UK venue. It seems that little has been said about the House of Gucci actresses’ waxwork online, as it’s relatively close to her actual appearance.

Social Media Reacts

“They can never get her face right,” one Twitter/X user wrote after seeing Madame Tussaud’s latest attempt at recreating Beyonce’s beauty. Elsewhere, others pointed out that the statue seems to more closely resemble R&B songstress Tinashe, or King of Queens starlet Leah Remini. The hair and body are pretty close to Beyonce’s, but there’s obviously still work to be done in other areas.

Beyonce’s Ice Spice & Coco Jones Greeting Has Fans Noticing A Stark Difference In Demeanor

by

More people were lined up to meet Beyonce at the 2024 Grammy Awards than there were in line to actually win an award. It seemed like every celebrity at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday (February 4) wanted to get a picture with her and hear her voice if only for a fleeting moment. One of these stars was 2023’s breakout hitmaker Ice Spice, who greeted the Houston icon in a clip that surfaced online. Their interaction was quick and respectful, with Queen Bey also greeting the Bronx native’s producer RIOTUSA. However, many fans noticed that she was much more excited when Coco Jones came into her sightline, extending a hug to her fellow R&B artist as Spice seemed to bask in the moment with Blue Ivy and Jay-Z beside her.

But if you see a longer version of the first clip below, you’ll see that this wasn’t really the case. Moreover, Coco Jones basically got in line after hugging Beyonce, and she went back to her conversation with Ice Spice. They spoke for a while longer, posed for a picture, and exchanged a hug, as well. As such, folks are likely exaggerating when they say that the RENAISSANCE artist cast Spice aside dismissively. Regardless, it was a big night for both rising titans, with a couple of nominations for both Beyhive members and a win for Coco in the Best R&B Performance category.

Unfortunately, Ice Spice didn’t win for her nominations, including Best Rap Song with the Nicki Minaj collab “Barbie World.” Her team-up with Taylor Swift on “Karma” remix also missed out on the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category. At least the 24-year-old shares something with Coco Jones beyond great artistry and Beyonce fandom: respect and love for Victoria Monét. She beat out both of them in the Best New Artist field (plus other awards), and all three of them were worthy of the praise.

Full Clip Shows The Full Story

Meanwhile, the “PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA” titan had a pretty notable night, too. Not only was she the center of attention amid a crowd filled with centers of attention, but her husband Jay-Z stood up for her against the Grammys’ failure to give her Album Of The Year despite having more awards than anyone in their history. What did you think about his speech? Let us know in the comments below and come back to HNHH for more on Beyonce, Ice Spice, and Coco Jones.

Here’s The Meaning Behind Behind Beyoncé’s Cécred Hair Care Line

Something special is coming from Beyoncé this month. Last night (February 6), Bey took to social media to announce her new hair care line, Cécred. She shared a cryptic trailer, featuring videos and images of Bey, and several others, applying care routines to their hair.

At the time of writing, Bey has not revealed the products that will be featured, nor the stores in which the products will be available for purchase. However, she did share a lovely note to Cécred newsletter subscribers, explaining how her new hair care line came to be.

“It has always been a dream of mine to create a hair care line,” said Beyoncé. “That’s why I’m so proud to share Cécred, which celebrates and honors the wisdom in our hair. I’m excited that you are now part of this community and can help to build an intimate and powerful space where we can share our journeys, our hair secrets, and protect all things sacred.”

As Bey is known to do with her other ventures, she is remaining tight-lipped about Cécred until the launch date later this month.

Cécred is set to drop on February 20.

You can see the Cécred announcement trailer above.

When Does Beyoncé’s Cécred Hair Care Line Come Out?

The BeyHive has been impatiently waiting for more information about Beyoncé‘s long-gestating hair care line for nearly a year after she first teased the new endeavor in a cryptic and rare Instagram post with more info than the usual photoshoot selects she shares. Today, her fans’ prayers were answered as she officially announced the debut of Cécred with a short film celebrating the traditions of Black hair care. Now, the only question they have is:

When Does Beyoncé’s Cécred Hair Care Line Come Out?

Fortunately, they won’t have to wait long. In her announcement, Beyoncé also included a launch date: The first Cécred products appear to be dropping on February 20. As of press time, the website for Cécred only has the trailer — while the URL mentions a mysterious password — so there’s no word yet on what products the collection will include, but there are some clues in the trailer itself. It seems pretty clear that it’ll at least include the basics at first: shampoo and conditioner are pretty much guaranteed, and with quick shots of braids throughout the clip, probably some kind of moisturizer for those who rock those styles.

We’ll see on February 20. Stay tuned.

Beyoncé Announced Her Cécred Line Of Hair Care Products With A Cryptic Trailer

Beyoncé has something special up her sleeve. No, it doesn’t look like the long-awaited visuals for her Renaissance album. But perhaps something just as sacred. Or shall we say, “Cécred?”

Tonight (February 6), Bey took to social media to announce her new line of haircare products, called Cécred. As Bey is known to do, she kept very mum about what to expect. A video shared to Instagram shows a montage of people washing, combing, and brushing their hair. Though we’re not sure what kinds of products to expect — in the way of shampoos, conditioners, and/or dyes — Bey did reveal that Cécred is, in fact, a hair care line, simply by captioning the post, “Hair is sacred.”

Also in the post’s caption, she revealed Cécred arrives Feb. 20, and tagged the handle to the brand’s official Instagram account. On Cécred’s Instagram page is a bio reading “Haircare by @beyonce,” as well as the brand’s official website.

The website plays the same video from the social handles, however, invites visitors to enter their email address and phone numbers to receive updates.

At the time of writing, neither Bey nor Cécred have indicated if the products will be available to purchase in stores.

Lil Durk Names Beyonce As His Dream Collab Following First Grammy Win

This weekend was a big one for Lil Durk. Despite a long running and very successful career in rap music he continues to reach new peaks. Last year he had one of the biggest hits of his entire career with “All My Life” alongside J. Cole. The song peaked at #2 on the Hot 100, landed on the year-end Hot 100, and has nearly 300 million streams on Spotify. And on Sunday the track earned Durk his first ever Grammy when it took home a win for Best Melodic Rap Performance.

In an interview with Billboard after the win he discussed a variety of topics. One of the questions posed to Durk was about who his dream collaborator is. Seemingly with his first Grammy win in mind, he thought of the most-awarded artist in the shows long history, Beyonce. “It’s a few, but I gotta go see Beyoncé one day. Got to. That means I’ll be back” he joked. Bey wasn’t nominated for any new Grammys this year, but last year she won 4 which broke the record putting her at 32 total, the most all time. Check out the interview clip below.

The History Of The Roc Nation Brunch

by

The Roc Nation brunch has been a fixture in the pop culture community since it began in 2011. The pre-Grammy party is a highly coveted event. It extends invitations exclusively to a select few A-listers and prominent figures in the music, film, and sports industries. The event’s exclusivity is so notable that some celebrities are marked with the symbolic Scarlet Letter of never receiving an invitation. This has led popular entertainers like Marlon Wayans to humorously suggest the idea of initiating a brunch for the Roc Nation rejects. Here’s a look back at the history of the exclusive event and the significance the brunch holds to hip hop and pop culture.

Roc Nation Formed In 2008

Jay-Z launched Roc Nation as a multidisciplinary entertainment company. It acts as a record label, production studio, and venture capital firm. The label has signed top-billed artists such as J. Cole, Rihanna, Megan Thee Stallion, and Kanye West. Under Jay-Z’s leadership, the label aimed to be more than just a home for prolific hip hop musicians. It prompted execs at Roc Nation to focus on culture at large. The pre-Grammy Roc Nation brunch tradition formed with the intent of networking with some of pop culture’s most magnanimous socialites. Moreover, it also doubled as a high-class gala. This further allowed media outlets to take note of the lavish ball and the eccentric styles on display.

The event additionally serves as a platform for Roc Nation signees to boost their star power. Securing an invite to this highly-coveted gathering is an exclusive affair. It requires a personal invitation from someone associated with the label. Invitations to the brunch also bill the gathering as “a celebration of the highest elevation of self.” The result is a social ladder thinly veiled as a casual pre-Grammy party. Here, stars lavish attention on their favorite singers, athletes, and executives, while financial backers aim to align talent with their upcoming projects.

A Private Residence Typically Hosts The Event

The Roc Nation brunch has occurred each February since 2011, with the exception of 2021 and 2022 due to COVID-19 safety regulations. The event typically takes place at a rotating establishment of private mansions. This includes those in Los Angeles, New York City, and Boston. The press frequently remains uninformed about the time and location of the brunch. Most individuals learn about the event from celebrities on social media. Once the invites begin flying out, the hottest influencers often share sneak-peak glimpses into their wardrobe and aesthetic before the big day.

Further, throughout the years, Roc Nation has launched partnerships with Universal Music, Three Six Zero Entertainment, and even the NFL, due in no small part to connections formed at the illustrious brunch.

The Event Was Canceled For 2024

After making a significant impact with a return in 2023, the Roc Nation brunch was canceled in 2024. Some sources indicated the brunch would take place on Saturday, February 3, though it was later clarified that hosts Jay-Z and Beyoncé would not be able to attend. The couple apparently decided to attend Clive Davis’s annual gala. They learned that Jon Platt, a long-time creative partner of the Carters and CEO of Sony Music Publishing, would receive the Grammy Salute to Industry Icons Award. With Platt slated to attend the Clive Davis gala, the music magnates agreed to bump the exclusive brunch to join the festivities and honor their friend.

For now, there’s no word on whether this event was a one-off cancelation. Some fear it could be the beginning of the end for the illustrious gathering. The 66th Grammy Awards have just concluded, and Beyoncé currently holds the record for the most wins of all time at the esteemed ceremony. Meanwhile, Jay-Z received the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, an honor shared only with the eponymous rap icon at this time.
