Kevin Hart: “Beyoncé and Jay Z take Entertainment to another level!”

Kevin Hart stopped by On Air with Ryan Seacrest to talk about everything from meeting President Barack Obama, geeking out at a Beyoncé concert, and his new movie Ride Along.

Another star struck moment he had was when he attended good friend Beyoncé’s concert in Los Angeles. However, this time, he was only kidding with his enthusiasm.

Of the video of him fanning-out that went viral, the comedian laughs: “I know her, so I was doing it to be silly. At first, we were in the Beehive and I was like, ‘I love you, Beyoncé! I love you!’ And she was like, ‘Shut up, Kevin!’ … but then there’s a moment where she … throws a towel at me and this guy behind me might have been the biggest Beyoncé fan in the world. He’s like, ‘You’re so lucky, Kevin Hart! What are you going to do with it? You’ve got to frame it!’”

All jokes aside, Kevin goes on to explain he is a real fan of Beyoncé and her husband, Jay Z. In fact, he considers them mentors. “When you look at people who have taken this entertainment thing to another level …and know how to expand their brand to where their voices are powerful,” Kevin explains. “Jay, especially. Jay is definitely a mentor to me just talking to me on the business side. He’s the reason I got my own company. He’s the reason why I’m producing myself.”

B.o.B Talks Beyonce’s Surprise Album

B.o.B. has no problem with Beyoncé’s surprise album release last month. Just its timing.

“It’s like, ‘Dang, couldn’t you have waited for 2014!’ ” he tells Billboard with a laugh. His third album, “Underground Luxury,” dropped just four days after “Beyoncé” appeared and gobbled up the spotlight, but B.o.B. hastens to add that there’s certainly no hard feelings. “It was definitely, like, Whoa.. She showed the world how powerful an artist can be, and at the same time how powerful the Internet is. That’s how to end the year, y’know? She ended with a bang.”

Beyoncé: “Gender Equality Is a Myth!”

See what Beyoncé Knowles Carter thinks about gender equality and let us know your opinion!

We need to stop buying into the myth about gender equality. It isn’t a reality yet. Today, women make up half of the U.S. workforce, but the average working woman earns only 77 percent of what the average working man makes. But unless women and men both say this is unacceptable, things will not change. Men have to demand that their wives, daughters, mothers, and sisters earn more—commensurate with their qualifications and not their gender. Equality will be achieved when men and women are granted equal pay and equal respect.

Humanity requires both men and women, and we are equally important and need one another. So why are we viewed as less than equal? These old attitudes are drilled into us from the very beginning. We have to teach our boys the rules of equality and respect, so that as they grow up, gender equality becomes a natural way of life. And we have to teach our girls that they can reach as high as humanly possible.

We have a lot of work to do, but we can get there if we work together. Women are more than 50 percent of the population and more than 50 percent of voters. We must demand that we all receive 100 percent of the opportunities.

Beyoncé Heading Back to No. 1 on Billboard 200

After a one-week vacation from the top slot on the Billboard 200 chart, Beyonce is heading back to No. 1.

The diva’s self-titled set could sell around 85,000 to 90,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, Jan. 12, according to industry forecasters. If it returns to No. 1, it will mark the fourth non-consecutive week atop the list for “Beyonce.”

Meanwhile, the current chart champ, the soundtrack to Disney’s “Frozen” movie, will probably dip to No. 2 with around 75,000. The “Frozen” set stormed to No. 1 this past week on the chart, selling 165,000 copies in the week ending Jan. 5, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It bumped “Beyonce” out of the No. 1 position after a three-week reign.

The top 10 of next week’s Billboard 200 chart will be revealed on Wednesday, Jan. 15.

The highest new entry on next week’s list will likely be rapper Kid Ink’s major label full-length album, “My Own Lane,” with around 40,000 or so. That should place it around No. 3 on the chart. It should be the only debut in the top 10 next week.

The rest of the top 10 should be populated with holdovers by the likes of Eminem’s “The Marshall Mathers LP 2” (maybe 35,000), Lorde’s “Pure Heroine” (30,000) and One Direction’s “Midnight Memories” (25,000).

On SoundScan’s Building chart (below), “Beyonce” leads at No. 1, while Kid Ink and the “Frozen” soundtrack are Nos. 2 and 3, respectively. The Building tally is a precursor to the final Billboard 200 ranking — reflecting the first four days (Monday through Thursday) of SoundScan’s tracking week as reported by six major merchants.

As for the rest of the top 10: Eminem, Lorde and One Direction are Nos. 4-6, while Katy Perry’s “PRISM” is No. 7. Miley Cyrus’ “Bangerz” is No. 8, Imagine Dragons’ “Night Visions” is No. 9 and Drake’s “Nothing Was the Same” rounds out the Building Chart’s top 10 at No. 10.
