Beyonce Makes Her Arrival, Takes The Podium At The United Nations

Aug 10 | by Natasha

Beyonce officially made her way to the United Nations podium this evening after taking a spin around the Headquarters yesterday. Check out one half of FORBES' 2012 richest couple doing her part for World Humanitarian Day inside...

Rocking a sophisticated look of a white Alexander McQueen wool crepe peplum dress and heels with a no-makeup makeup face, Beyonce Knowles stepped into the United Nations Headquarters this evening in NYC to film her live video for "I Was Here."

She's also partaking in a big dinner tonight, hosed by Anderson Cooper, to honor her efforts. The video will debut on August 19th, World Humanitarian Day. Nice!

Beyonce is also doing her part by rounding up her millions of fans to get them to give back at least for one day, and do something small for someone else. Check out the deets HERE.

You read that wron lol. It

You read that wron lol. It says "no-makeup makeup " which means she does have on make-up but it is light, earth tones made to resemble a natural light look. Basically it's make-up that is suppose to look like no make up; it looks very natural.

Beyonce is 30 years old and I

Beyonce is 30 years old and I couldn't be any proud of her and her lifestyle and commitment to world peace and love. She has been looking amazing for over 15 years now and still setting trends! This woman has everything. Whats not to hate about her. That is why every new media socialite arrival is compared to perfection = Beyonce. I can't wait to hear her flawless vocals on August 19th, 2012. Make sure you go to her website and be apart of an amazing loving day.

People are upset with Beyonce

People are upset with Beyonce because she is successful. If she was still selling 300,000 copies total and only had a 60,000 in the bank she would not get this much hate. Once you've reached a level where individuals realize they have to work too hard to catch up, they quit trying and turn to hating.

It's disgusting when doing

It's disgusting when doing something Great brings out the worst in people. Theybf.com readers are so far from the purpose and basis behind the basis of this site, they are anything but young, black, and fabulous. Because someone doesn't make their philanthropic endeavors public doesn't mean they're anything but; or in this for personal gain. From an individual perspective, who is doing something with themselves aside from hating( yes what you all are doing is hating), I congratulate Beyonce! I can't with the readers of this blog. They're better off not even commenting!

I rarely comment, but was

I rarely comment, but was moved to after "Cashingout" said Beyonce is trying to look like Kim K. Is this a joke? Kim K. is a high-class hooker hussy who earns her fame and wealth with carefully calculated publicity stunts. Beyonce is a global superstar who earned her fame and wealth with an actual talent. What's more, Beyonce has often dressed in this silhouette—a sophisticated suit or sheath dress—for years. This evening's event was major, and a first for an African-American, since like Michael Jackson, and all people have to offer comment on is how she looked, and her motives? This is was big deal. I applaud Beyonce and her team for being committed to the efforts of World Humanitarian Day, and effecting global change on citizens of the world in crises many of us here in the US can hardly imagine. Go United Nations and Beyonce!

Are you mad because she's out

Are you mad because she's out of your tax bracket? If you had half of the money you think you have, you would know that income tax returns aren't a part of life for those who make over 6 figures. Because you live year after year in anticipation of your tax refund vacation doesn't mean everyone else is trying to do the same. Sorry to burst the bubble that you should remain in, but no one is checking for your dollars boo! You are, for lack of better terms, "a non-mf'ing factor" when it comes to statuses at the bank.

WHITE JACKET AND PADDED ROOM

WHITE JACKET AND PADDED ROOM ANYONE? Girl go sit your passionate, long speech typing, I'll wait until beyonce say do something good before I actually do something good, alleged hospital volunteering ass down somewhere. If we think she has ulterior motives, then that's what it is.

Judging from the structure of your sentences, you too are illiterate and poorly educated. Doesn't matter what she chooses to speak on. Beyonce is doing something to better herself and assist other individuals. Too bad you're still a loser.

Beyonce looks gorge and classy, but I hope her handlers are on their A game because we all know when it comes to public speaking, Bey isn't the most eloquent speaker, but she can write the hell out of a letter. Hey Bey, if you run out of things to say or have no clue what's going on, just break out in song!! "Listen" would be my personal choice lol.

I'm confused, is she being a humanitarian by doing something socially responsible or she's just doing a video pretending to be a humanitarian? The article doesn't say what she's doing or perhaps I missed it

lol She's being socially

lol She's being socially responsible by encouraging people to "do something for somebody else." -__- I'm a fan--like a still listening to Dangerously in Love fan--but I can't help but wonder is she's for real or just trying to add stats to her legacy. I've long suspected that she was going to copy Alicia Keys' humanitarian profile. But maybe she's just going public with hers. Either way, it's a good cause. *shrug*
