Before International Rugby matches, the New Zealand All Blacks perform the Haka, a traditional war dance meant to intimidate the opponent. It is also used to honor a distinguished guest. After Beyoncé’s October 19 show in Auckland the local crew welcomed her with a Haka.

Best gift ever? Just in time for the 2013 holiday season, Beyonce is offering twelve months of fierceness! The international megastar is coming out with her very first calendar, and Us Weekly has the exclusive first look!

Queen Bey, 32, is stunning and toned on the cover of her brand new 2014 official calendar. Staring seductively into the camera, the “Love On Top” singer traded in her blonde bob once again for subtle curls and her honey locks worn down. With a smokey eye, Beyonce also shows off her rock hard abs wearing a black sequined crop top and a matching hat while holding her right arm up for the stunning pose.

Us also has a sneak peek of the centerfold. The calendar features the gorgeous mother of Blue Ivy, 20 months, in a special black and white shot with minimal makeup standing in front of a zig-zag backdrop. The “Crazy in Love” star is photographed with her blonde locks swept back with one foot out the door.

The news of a new calendar comes as Beyonce prepares to next astound audiences for the New Zealand and Australian leg of her Mrs Carter Show World Tour. The calendar is available exclusively at shop.beyonce.com beginning Monday, Oct. 7, and will be available at retail starting on Tuesday, Oct. 15.

Variety: It’s not that Beyonce does things that other stars don’t, it’s just that she does them on a level that few of her contemporaries can match, and 2013 has been a banner year in Beyonce exceptionalism. Other stars sign brand endorsement deals for a quick paycheck — Beyonce gets Pepsi to pony up $50 million for a “creative content development fund,” whose purpose seems to be whatever Beyonce wants it to be. When HBO airs a two-hour documentary on her life, she gets to direct it herself. When she goes on a summer stadium tour, it surpasses $50 million in grosses after the first 30 dates. When Beyonce plays the Super Bowl halftime show, she sets Twitter records and the stadium’s power grid goes dark in response. When she gives birth to a daughter with husband, Jay Z, it becomes the hip-hop generation’s “Baby Ricky” moment.

Pop star Beyoncé Knowles painted her nails pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month. It started Tuesday and the singer’s new paint job benefits BCA twofold, reports eonline.com.

Not only will $1 of each bottle of the nail paint sold go towards the Breast Cancer Campaign, if someone copies Knowles and posts about the dazzling tint on Instagram or Twitter, 16 more cents will be donated to the same charity. The 32-year-old posted a photograph on image sharing website Instagram Tuesday, flaunting her newest manicure – a sparkling hot pink colour.

Jay Z and Beyonce Knowles are so much more than just the first couple of hip-hop: They’re a combination of two of the savviest businesspeople in entertainment. They made more than any other celebrity couple this year with an estimated $95 million in earnings between June 2012 and June 2013.

Both are musicians at the top of their games, with multiple hits under their belts. Jay Z’s recent Watch the Throne album went platinum and launched a world tour that brought in $1.4 million per night in America. Knowles, who took a short break when her daughter Blue Ivy was born in January last year, was back with a vengeance this year with her Mrs. Carter world tour, which grossed an average $2 million per night.

Then there are their other interests. Jay Z is a part owner of the new Barclays BCS -2.18% Center in Brooklyn, where the Brooklyn Nets play. He sold his stake in the team and now has to dump his share in the arena, too, because he’s started his own sports agency: Roc Nation Sports, which represents star athletes like Kevin Durant and Victor Cruz. Knowles has a fragrance collection and a clothing line called House of Deron. Blue Ivy could soon join the family business. She’s already been on one of her Dad’s songs and her parents have petitioned to trademark her name for the right to use it on anything from baby clothes to toys. Read the rest of this entry »

She’s one of the world’s most successful and sought-after women but only now have all of Beyoncé’s dreams come true as the star is finally able to balance her life and career.

The 32-year-old, who celebrated her birthday last week with husband Jay Z, 43, and baby Blue Ivy on a yacht off the coast of Italy, says she’s proud her job allows her to be with her daughter on the road. The Halo singer, who kicked off the Latin-American leg of her Mrs Carter Show World Tour in Brazil yesterday, says taking her 19-month-old around the world with her is all she ever hoped for.

‘It’s really interesting because I’m touring with my daughter for the first time and my dream has always been to be able to balance my life and my career,’ she said during a press conference before her show at the Estádio Plácido Aderaldo Castelo in Fortaleza. Read the rest of this entry »
