Beyoncé kills Sasha Fierce!

5 Mar

Her third solo album ‘I am…. Sasha Fierce’ introduced her dynamic alter ego to the world, metallic glove and all, but now that her world tour is over, Beyoncé has announced, "Sasha is done. I killed her."

The ‘I am Sasha Fierce’ tour played over 100 dates across six continents since kicking off in March 2009 and now Beyoncé has announced she will be taking a much-needed break.

Among the things Beyoncé plans to accomplish on her holiday from performing include learning “to paint and cook – and to do Broadway shows and museums. And learn just to be at home and just watch television.”

But the real question on everyone’s lips is whether Beyoncé is planning to have a mini-diva with her husband of two years, rapper Jay-Z. The ‘Single Ladies’ singer herself says, “When it happens, it happens. I definitely want a family... I'm too close to my mother. I have the best mother, you know. I can only hope the relationship I have with my mother, I can have with my kids whenever I decide to have them.”

Over the Teacups

While out walking with our fouryear- old granddaughter, she became grizzly and irritated so my husband decided
to lift her onto his shoulders to carry her. Having only taken a few steps, she said to me, “Nana, Papa has got paint in his hair.” I looked up and realised she was talking about his new white strands coming through. Kids – you’ve got to love them.

Cold comfort

Our young grandson was staying with us for the holidays. One night, he came into our bedroom and was most
upset. When I asked him why, he replied, with tears streaming down his face, “I’m really, really cold, Nana – my hot water bottle just died!”

Feeding frenzy

We were sitting down at the table for a family dinner and little Miss Two had managed to get her spaghetti bolognaise all over her face. Her father decided to remedy the situation by scrubbing her face with the table cloth. “What’s Daddy doing?” asked her mummy. Their daughter replied with a cheeky grin on her face, “He’s fighting me!”
