Beyoncé was slated to perform at Manhattan night spot M2 tomorrow night, but now she’s canceling the gig despite having signed a contract. She was being paid $200k to perform and make an appearance, but B says she’s too busy preparing for her U.S. leg of the “I Am…” tour to perform at the club. She said, instead, she would make an “appearance.” The club owner Joey Morrison is extra pissy because he’s already shelled out $100k in preparations. He tells the NY Post:
“I mean, we sold tables for thousands of dollars for the show, and spent $100,000 renting a soundboard and other equipment, as per their stipulations. What good does her showing up for an hour do me? They’ve been totally unwilling to agree to another show.”
“We had an overwhelming response from our clubgoers, who were lining up to buy tickets and tables. This will come as a great disappointment to all of them,” he claims, adding, “If Beyoncé cancels and doesn’t give us a new date, this hurts our credibility in night life.”
Morrissey says he’s now preparing to file suit against Beyoncé, claiming his place has suffered a “loss of reputation” in addition to the sunk cash. Damn.
Jamie Foxx hit up “106 & Park” last night to pub the upcoming BET Awards he’s hosting next weekend:
Is this the swag surfing the kids are doing these days?
More pics of Jamie cuttin’ up when you read the rest…
Silly.

what does rocsi have on?
Fri, June 19, 2009 9:56 AM
Rocsi kicks rocks, Jamie is all that.
Fri, June 19, 2009 9:57 AM
FIRST!!!! JAMIE IS HILARIOUS! CANT WAIT FOR THE BET AWARDS!
Fri, June 19, 2009 9:57 AM
That’s what Bey gets for spreading that big ass too thin?
Fri, June 19, 2009 9:59 AM
YOU MEAN “WRECKSI” LOL
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:00 AM
That’s what she get for trying to spread that big popeye’s chicken n biscuit eating ass too thin!
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:00 AM
They try too hard.
Rosci is corny as hell.
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:01 AM
LOVE LOVE LOVE Jamie!!!
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:01 AM
LMAO @ wrecksi!
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:02 AM
BET better thank Kanye because if it wasnt fo him I wouldnt even entertain this mess! I understand helping your people and supporting them but DAMN Jamie!!! U know BET is the official spot for grade A coonery!!! Anywho…. yeah Beyonce was wrong for that! In the end, if you make an agreement you have to live up to it! She pulled out of a legal signed contract and it only makes sense. I understand being busy but if thats the case then you need to not book performances, pull out, and then say “I will make an appearance instead” No ma’am!!! Thats shady!
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:02 AM
Love you beyonce but you better be coughing up some money if this is true. which we all know you can pay him off easy with all that money you got.shoot i will take your place but they probably will only pay me 25 oh i meant to put the cent sign after 25. lol
-i hope the BET awards be bettter than last year-
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:08 AM
boy i tell you first beyonce sues then get sued back, boy karma’s a bih
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:08 AM
Y’all know Mathew “Mojo” Knowles is going to have that man drinking Beyonce’s bath water by the end of this isht. That lawsuit ain’t going no where!
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:10 AM
whatever Be’ better suck it up and do the performance…
Jamie is too funny!
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:12 AM
these pics of jamie look like he catching the holy ghost in church
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:12 AM
Lay off Bee…artist get sued all the time for stuff like this. She’s normally good at not cancelling shows. Im surprised she even willing to still make an appearence.
What Im confused about is why Bee was only getting paid 200k to perform?? I mean its BEYONCE
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:14 AM
LOL LOL LOL! So wrong, but so true…
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:15 AM
Well Well Well..I think someone might change their mind as they have a strong case against her. Shell out 200,000 for you to show up and wave at people???!? No Sah..Bey you better put them stockings on and be ready to do something…cuz NYer’s don’t play when it comes to the dough.
Jamie is a fool, that’s the ONLY reason why i’m watching the show. ONLY. lol
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:15 AM
Rocsi… PLEASE GO AWAY!
Bey, you know I love you girl, but damn girl the po’ man gotta eat too!
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:16 AM
Don’t care for that jacket with that outfit Rocsi…plus i really don’t care for her either.
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:18 AM
I’m sorry I have to call bullsh*t when I see it. Would you really say “Lay off” if it were any other artist? Please be honest b/c I know this happens from time to time but when it does the artists who do it are held accountable. She should be held accountable as well.
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:18 AM
Don’t care for Rocsi and I don’t like that jacket with that outfit. I think she try to hard…..do she act like that all the time?????
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:22 AM
Jaime is a certified NUT!! I hope he kills it on the BET Awards – they need all the help they can get!!
As for Mrs. Carter, although it’s common place for mega -entertainers such as Beyonce (I refuse to acknowledge her as an ARTIST) to over book her commitments,it still does not make it right – your word is bond, Mrs. Carter. If people can’t believe you, they’ll stop believing in you.
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:24 AM
I’m surpsried B would do a gig for less than 1M. Matthew is pimping her for all he can get.
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:26 AM
Beyonce since you are tryin to hang in New York now ever since you married Jay-Z, now is not the time to make enemies. From what I see New York’s social circle is small, so just do the show and tell your father that his a$$ is not the one out there shakin’ and singing. His greediness is starting to wear on YOUR health.
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:29 AM
To the person that said Beyonce is good at not cancelling dates didn’t she change the concert for Hurricane victims because her schedule was too busy. Why would you schedule a performance when the US leg of your tour is about to start, that’s doing too much, but then again that is Beyonce she wants to be everywhere. She should perform or else this man can sue her for more than the $200,000 he was willing to pay her. He could bring up all kinds of charges. And he has to refund all the people who bought tables for a performance also. Nah girl I say you bring out your 5 inch heels and perform. The contract is legally binding, he doesn’t even need a big time lawyer, he will win.
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:29 AM
I’m starting not to like Bey eventhough I got concert tickets for her show. She is coming off a greedy and “diva” is a bad way.
Jamie Foxx is an ass, but not a coon.
I can’t stand Rocsi and Terrence. WHACK WHACK WIGGEDY WHACK. I thought you had to have charisma or a personality to be a vee jay or at least style. They just put that hoe in anything.
Happy Friday!
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:30 AM
200K ain’t SHYT. Perhaps the 200K is to lip sync. B said she does all her performance live. Yeah right! LMAO
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:32 AM
I love Jamie… i’m gonna watch the BET Awards just for him… I do love Wrecksi’s shoes, but not the outfit… and Beyonce did that man dirty, I don’t blame him 1 bit for what he’s doing
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:33 AM
Who TF spends thousands of dollars to see someone perform at the club. Obviously Im in the wrong profession…
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:33 AM
don’t worry BOSS HOGG has got your back beyonce and he will handle this one for you all he has to do is make a couple of phones call and tell the club owner that he will shut him down if he don’t like what is going on and end of story the boss hogg and the knowles rules. JAMIE IS AS FUNNY AS HELL hes a cool guy and a fun guy he will be making people have a smile on their faces for a long time to come and hes a good singer and actors. PAPA KNOWLES AKA BOSS HOGG.
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:33 AM
I love Bey! But at the end of the day a contract is legally binding. If she or her manager signed it, she should definately do what she promised, or at least set another date.
Like Jaime, don’t like the guy on 106 and really starting not to like Rocsi. Thought she was cool until some of her personal life started coming out. Does anybody on here know if that’s just gossip or is there some truth to the homewrecking rumors about her?
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:33 AM
Would Matthew shake, sing, and make out on stage for 200K.
Perhaps B can give you some lesson so you can make your own cash shaking that ole as,
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:34 AM
It is funny though that she was suing people earlier this week, and turns around and gets sued her damn self in the same week.
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:38 AM
Make that money, dont let the money make you. lol.. hahaha
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:38 AM
its all good BOSS HOGG AKA PAPA KNOWLES will handle this with a couple of phones calls , and let the club owners know that he will have them shut down if they do not leave his cash cow along, BOSS HOGG don’t play that sh*t, hes the man and they had better reconize what they are dealing with.
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:38 AM
Beyonce is hilarious. If that man paid you $200K and shelled out and extra $100K to rent out the equipment you wanted(that’s alot for just some equipment). Why do you think he would settle for just an appearance. I know when I pay for something and I don’t get it I get extra pissed.
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:39 AM
…I’m swaggin..im surfin’
I’m clean like dish detergent..lol
BEY NEEDS TO SIT HER BUTT DOWN THINKING SHE QUEEN SHEBA, BOO BOO YOU NOT. YOU ARE ONLY AN ICON IN YOUR OWN EYES AND YOUR UP-IN-THE-A$$ DADDY!
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:44 AM
why would she book something else and she knows that she is still touring i don’t get her way of thinking but i guess that people have their reasons for what they do its crazy to book when you are in the middle of a tour already, but like i said BOSS HOGG WILL HANDLE THIS, HES GOING TO LET THEM KNOW WHO THEY ARE MESSING WITH.PAPA KNOWLES AKA BOSS HOGG HES ABOUT A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW HE DON’T WANT NO ONE TALKING BACK TO HIM, YOU GO ON WITH YOUR BADD SELG BOSS HOGG. JANIE IS THYE BOMB NICE PERSON GOOD ENTERTAINER ALL ROUND STAR HES A TRIPLE THREAT.
Fri, June 19, 2009 10:56 AM
You can take your mouth off her clit now.
Fri, June 19, 2009 11:11 AM
yeah i saw the show with jamie yesterday he seems so fun to be around but i am tired of seeing those too little jackets he wears…i bet hanging out with him would be fun…not surprised about bey….

Fri, June 19, 2009 11:22 AM

Fri, June 19, 2009 12:16 PM
What is this country ass outfit Roxy is wearing??? Really she let them put that on her and she walked out to be on television like that????
Fri, June 19, 2009 12:16 PM
That’s way too many shows to include in a world tour.. Papa Knowles is doin’ too much~ he should chill out and focus more on Solo’s career.. I mean, she is a baby momma and all.. just sayin~
Fri, June 19, 2009 12:24 PM
BEYONCE BETTER THROW THEM STILETTOS ON AND GO ON DOWN THERE AND SHAKE THAT MONEY MAKER….MAKE IT DO, WHAT IT DO………………………..LMBAO
Fri, June 19, 2009 12:30 PM
LMAO!!!
Fri, June 19, 2009 12:30 PM
Love Jamie!!! I just MIGHT watch it this year. He always put on a good show. Great host choice. BET was smart this year. They know nobody is hardly checking for this WACK award show with the same line up of performers
I would sue her too. That’s what happens when you try to do EVERYTHING!!
Rosci looks cute. The shoes kind of throw the outfit off though!
Fri, June 19, 2009 12:34 PM
You are so right bcuse the last few years were dry as hell. Even Monique was dry when she came back in 08 or 07 whatever year she came back!
Fri, June 19, 2009 12:36 PM
And as long as she’s been performing, you would think she knows how much she can do. This was just carelessness.
Fri, June 19, 2009 12:37 PM
Girl that gravitar caught me off guard!! lol WTF??
Fri, June 19, 2009 1:08 PM
Isn’t it time for a new Foolywang of the week? Jamie is hilarious and WTF is Roxie wearing. A mess..
Fri, June 19, 2009 1:16 PM
G’s a table for an appearence?? GET tha fucc outta here. This is New York. You can see Bea “appear” while you’re out shopping or better yet at her hubby’s wack ass sportsbar for freakin free. She betta grease up them legs and get the dancin!
Fri, June 19, 2009 1:25 PM
SMH. I seen this SAME exact thing happen to the Jackson Five. Joe overbooked Michael and guess what? Tito had to do it. Matthew, put a blonde wig on Solonge and call it a damn day.
Fri, June 19, 2009 1:27 PM
Ok I’m done on this post. *drops mic and runs away*
Fri, June 19, 2009 1:54 PM
Shock value is a mutha..I knew it would make a few of ya’ll pause and do a double take. The things we do to entertain ourselves….HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
Fri, June 19, 2009 1:56 PM
I just want to know if beyonce is showing up, caus eim so ready to party with her..
Fri, June 19, 2009 1:57 PM
LOL LOL LOL
Fri, June 19, 2009 2:00 PM
Yeah Beyonce, Karma is a snake-eyed bitch. Either shake that ass or pay up…
Fri, June 19, 2009 2:18 PM
Beyonce is atrting to act like she believes her shit dn’t stink. You hear about itall the time, celebrities start believing their own hype when they get to a certain point in their career and acting diva and divo.
Fri, June 19, 2009 2:39 PM
Hilarious!!! Beyonce and co knows what they are doing, I dont think they had intentions of performing at the club being that the tour schedule has been set for almost a year…this may have been another promotional scheme. Beyonce is all marketing and hype, $200k aint shit and she is treating it like it aint shit because she pulled out of the performance, if it were a million like Mariah gets she would have been there. This chick is starting to come off in a bad way!!!!
Fri, June 19, 2009 4:41 PM
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT BRAND OF SHOES ROXY HAS ON AND HOW I CAN GET THEM? THANKS
Sat, June 20, 2009 3:55 AM
Everytime Jamie has picture stills from a show he just looks fun.People laughing,him laughing,him in an akward position,just…classic jamie..good stuff.
Um Rocsi’s shoes are cute atleast,but forget that Terrance J is hella bomb!Why does everyone overlook this??Instead of calling him corny,give it up for a very attractive,well educated,successful,goofy guy!Good qualities to me!
Sat, June 20, 2009 10:58 AM
I hope they dont sue BEYONCE. She has a good heart. now you now if she cant show up well she cant. GEESH people . Let it slide life goes on k.
Sat, June 20, 2009 10:59 AM
