Is it just us? Or do Beyonce and Jay-Z look like the happiest couple ever? Together since 2002, the two finally tied the knot in April — and that “honeymoon glow” still hasn’t worn off. Spending the holidays on a $200,000-a-week yacht near St. Barts in the Caribbean, the stars couldn’t keep their hands off each other.
We’d like to throw out some school yard cliches (like “All aboard The Love Boat” or “Beyonce rides more than a jet-ski”) about their fairy-tale romance, but Beyonce and Jay-Z are almost too cute to make fun of. [Photos: Splash News Online]

Beyonce may be a Grammy-winning multi-platinum selling artist, but that doesn’t stop her mom Tina Knowles from setting her daughter straight once in a while. Mrs. Jay-Z works it on the cover of Elle this month, and in the inside interview, Tina tells of a time B got a little too divaish and she had to slap her daughter back into shape.
“My husband came up and said, ‘Tina! She’s got the No. 1 record on the radio!’ I said, ‘I don’t care!’ I was terrified. I had seen people take your child and turn them into something you didn’t want them to be. I taught my girls to pick up their own suitcases. Pretty is as pretty does. Like my mother said, ‘You got to be cute on the inside,’ ” Tina says.

A lot was learned from Monday’s premiere of Cadillac Records — and not just that Beyonce nails her performance as a tormented Etta James. You see, we had a little spy jotting down observations as stars like Jay-Z, Mos-Def, Diddy, Ne-Yo and Adrien Brody walked the red carpet. The juiciest tidbit of the night: Akon is in talks to land a supporting role in Clint Eastwood’s upcoming movie about Nelson Mandela. Read all of the gossip from our spy by clicking into the photos below.
Beyonce Wears Spanx
Beyonce sometimes wears Spanx to tame her bootyliciousness! Asked if she'd used the popular undergarment to help her squeeze into her body-hugging gown, she answered, "I do wear Spanx all the time but I'm not wearing them tonight because I don't think I could fit them anymore [because of all the food she ate during the Thanksgiving holiday]. She also said she initially joined the naysayers in dismissing her ability to play the heroin-addicted Etta James in the film but willingly accepted the challenge thanks to her mother's encouragement.
Adrian Brody got dissed by Beyonce!
Well, not really. During an interview, he realized a cameraman was shooting Beyonce while he stopped talking to joke, "He's more interested in Beyonce. I don't blame you, but I'm talking. He's [the cameraman] like, 'Yeah, whatever'."
Not another alter ego!
Jeffrey Wright says he has his hopes set on a Grammy rather than an Oscar due to all of his singing in the film. He said he might release an album under the moniker "Jeffrey Fierce."
Gabrielle Union's on rumor patrol
The actress smashed claims made my popular urban blog site, MediaTakeOut, calling herself the MediaTakeOut Queen. She said she's not getting married [to Dwayne Wade, who's technically still married], although she didn't deny that she's dating him, as the site has long claimed. She said she did not "out" Beyonce as being 35, as the site claimed she did. She clarified that she remarked once to an interviewer that she's known Beyonce since she was a teenager, NOT since they were teenagers, which would have implied that they're the same age. She also noted that she's been the significant other of nearly every man in the Cadillac Records, in one project or another, but Mos Def holds the award for the softest lips. (An admittedly convenient answer since he was standing right next to her.)
Double Oh Diddy
Puffy says he's ready to assume the big screen role of the black James Bond. Call him Diddy ... P.Diddy! He poo poos other recommendations for the role, including Jamie Foxx and Idris Elba, saying neither actor has his supreme swagger.
Akon To Break Into Movies?
Akon says he thinks he thinks he has a good chance of landing Beyonce. Nevermind Jay-Z! He explains, "It's all in the mind ... Never let anybody limit you. If you want it, you have to go out and get it." Is he saying he could take Jay-Z in the Battle for B, a reporter asks? "Don't go starting anything," he warns, then clarifies, "I'm just saying that in life, if you want something, you gotta go after it. Right now, I want to be a star. I want to play a starring role, so I'm coming [to the premiere] to see what it takes to be that."
Sources tell us he's well on his way to becoming a big screen star. We hear he's in talks to land a supporting role in the upcoming Clint Eastwood film about Nelson Mandela.

Wedding days are typically joyous, public affairs, filled with friends, family and attention. But when you’re a celebrity, they can take on the air of a black-ops mission. With more secrecy and lies than the Bush administration, Beyonce and Jay-Z attempted to pull off their rooftop wedding with little notice — and kept their nuptials under wraps until the day of, when deliveries to Jay’s apartment piqued interest. Also under deep, deep cover: Ryan Reynolds locked down his status as Luckiest Bastard Ever when he married Scarlett Johansson in a sneaky ceremony in a remote part of Canada — the event was kept so quiet, that’s all we know about it! Even though Ellen Degeneres and Portia DiRossi televised their bliss, no one knew about it until the day it aired on her show, which is one way to get an exclusive. Another set of nuptials that went down with a minimum of public attention? Jewel and boyfriend of ten years Ty Murray, who married in the Bahamas this summer.

Now that Beyonce Knowles is making the promotional rounds for her new album I Am…Sasha Fierce, in stores Sunday, she is finally addressing that secret wedding ceremony to Mr. Jay-Z that went down earlier this year. Beyonce posed for the cover of Seventeen and talks about why now was the right time to marry her hip-hop mogul husband, learning lessons from Jay-Z, and competition in the music business.

After Jennifer Aniston discussed that scandalous quote with Oprah, Miss Sasha Fierce herself popped in to gab with O. Oprah tried to get Beyonce Knowles to dish on how she and husband Jay-Z pulled off their secret wedding, but Beyonce tried and tried to keep it just as under wraps as the whole ceremony was. “It’s difficult because I had to learn boundaries and balance,” and insisted she needs to keep this part of her life “separate” from her performing life. Still, O did not become the Queen of Daytime by being satisfied with some vague answer like that. O kept asking B about her hip-hop mogul husband. Finally, Beyonce gave Oprah a little something when O asked how it feels to be called “wife.” “It feels great,” Beyonce answered, but emphasized, “Have your own life before you become someone else’s wife.” [Photo:Getty]
