Executive produced by the singer/actress/mother, Bey lets us into her thoughts and reveals some of her most private moments never known until now.

A standard interview with Action Bronson is funny enough, so you know a full 48 hours with the guy is going to be pretty hilarious. Noisey did just that back in December, when they followed the stocky Queens MC around for two days during his stop in London on the European leg of his tour. Highlights include Bam Bam going “trainer” shopping, jumping into the crowd at the Highbury Garage, out-smoking Tim Westwood and letting a fan get on the mic at his show at the Candy Store. It’s clear the U.K. has got love for Bronson.

The Brooklyn-based MC has been selected to model Mark McNairy’s Fall 2013 collection.

Rihanna lights one up and shows off her sexy body in these outtakes from her current Rolling Stone coverstory. Shot by world renowned photographer Terry Richardson, RiRi sizzles as she models in lingerie. The pop star shows off different looks including a camo jacket with bucket hat ensemble, before dressing up in high heels, a long skirt, and leather jacket. Out on newsstands now, one of the hot topics she speaks on is her current relationship with Chris Brown.

“When you add up the pieces from the outside, it’s not the cutest puzzle in the world. You see us walking somewhere, driving somewhere, in the studio, in the club, and you think you know. But it’s different now. We don’t have those types of arguments anymore. We talk about shit. We value each other. We know exactly what we have now, and we don’t want to lose that.”

We were all witnesses to a sporting event for the ages. The Baltimore Ravens won Super Bowl XLVII in dramatic fashion by the slimmest of margins, holding off the San Francisco 49ers 34-31. As a new legacy begins for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco, another one continued as Beyoncé gave an unforgettable performance. During and long after the thrilling halftime show, celebrities such as First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah, Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake, Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert, Diddy, Fabolous, Kim Kardashian and others hit Twitter to give their reviews of Bey’s spectacular set.

Shortly after the mini-concert, a power outage in the stadium caused husband Jay-Z to cleverly tweet his wife’s electric night shut down the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The two were caught in a warm embracing moment as hubby congratulated wife on her show. Along with posting behind-the-scenes photos last night, Beyoncé wrote a note recognizing the important accomplishment for African-American women, and sharing the night with Destiny’s Child, Alicia Keys and Jennifer Hudson.

“What a proud day for African-American women!!!
Kelly, Michelle, Alicia, JHUD,
You are all beautiful, talented, and showed so much class!”

The moment is almost here. With a little over six hours left until kickoff for Super Bowl XLVII between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens, Beyoncé gets one last rehearsal in for her anticipated halftime show performance. In the last of her vlogs leading up tonight’s show, Bey gushes over the importance of New Orleans hosting this year’s event. She also hit Instagram to post two photos as she went through a final walk-through at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, where her and possibly some special guests will have the attention of millions worldwide.

“I was on my way here….and I was looking at the Superdome and I felt very proud because I know this is my legacy. And I’m really happy it’s in the south, I’m happy that it’s close to home. I spent many car rides coming to New Orleans from Texas so it feels nice to be where my family is from, Louisiana. It’s kind of like everything is coming back around full circle.”

The NFL Super Bowl XLVII begins at 6 p.m. EST on CBS with Alicia Keys singing the U.S. National Anthem, and Beyoncé performing a 12-minute set at halftime.
