Residents of Las Vegas are complaining that a billboard featuring Beyonce is obscene. Apparently the billboard, put up by a Vegas radio station, features the singer in a bikini. Also, just going out on a limb here, but I'm betting it shows Beyonce's armpits as well.

 

According to NME, one Vegas resident had this to say:

 

It's obscene. I have my two little grandkids coming over here, and they don't need to be seeing that. You can change the channel on the TV but you can't change that.

 

She then continued, "back when I was growing up, President Fillmore never would have allowed this!" Seriously lady, move. You live in Las Vegas. Your city actively encourages adultery in its official tourism ads. There are showgirls walking down the street. The cabs have posters of strip clubs on top of them. You go to the supermarkets there and you get a lap dance from a she-male named Trixie. Wait, does that not normally happen? Dammit, I swear I'm going to write a letter to that Stop 'N Shop. Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, this is Las Vegas. Beyonce's wearing a bikini. Deal with it.

 

Protesters have acquired 100 signatures on a petition against the billboard. Unfortunately for them, Las Vegas' other 1,799,900 residents have signed a "Shut The Hell Up Petition," so it doesn't look like that billboard is going anywhere.

 

A city official has stated that the picture of Beyonce complies with Vegas' billboard code. In other words, it doesn't show penetration.

 

 

The nominees for the American Music Awards have been announced.



Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Daughtry and Linkin Park lead the way with 3 nods each. Here is the full list, along with some predictions.

Those Malaysians are always c-blocking.



Beyonce has canceled a November 1st concert in Kuala Lumpur. There had been concerns that Beyonce's stage show would be too sexy for Kuala Lumpur's Muslim community, which makes up a majority of the country. The same thing happened to Gwen Stefani recently, but while Stefani offered to cover up for her Malaysian concert, Beyonce has decided to just cancel.

I would not have expected a Justin Timberlake-Beyonce collaboration to sound like a lost Boyz II Men track from 1992.

Also, Beyonce will be going into the studio in December to work on the follow-up to her B'Day album.

Also, Chubby Checker calls himself one of the best performers ever.

Beyonce is getting Gwen Stefani'd by Malaysia. The R&B singer has been warned to put a slow roll on her sexy stage show for her upcoming performance there.
