DRUKEN BEYONCE IS SUCH A REFRESHING SIGHT

SATURDAY'S RANT

This week was proper major because for the first time, we saw Beyonce all knocked out in a drunken state as her scrawled out body sat in a cab with fella Jay-Z. After partying hard with the likes of Coldplay's Chris Martin and his woman Gwyneth Paltrow, it was so lovely to see that Beyonce was finally letting her hair down and having some fun. The funny thing about these pictures is that Jay-Z is as sober as a motherfucker and even saw the funny side - his girlfriend totally bladdered. The second funny thing about the pictures is she couldn't have been THAT drunk if she knew where to put her hand in order to protect her modesty.

Beyonce is notoriously a work-a-holic. She breathes, eats, shits and lives her whole life to work. For years, Beyonce has practically thrown herself into her work without taking any time out. We thought she was going to have a nervous breakdown as work takes its toll on her body, from losing all that weight and starving herself for her Dream Girls movie, from recording her new album B'Day in two weeks, to prepare herself for the promotional roller-coaster that would follow after it and even when she attends events and parties, it is all work affiliated.

See, Beyonce has not rested ever since she first graced our TV screen at sixteen years old with that NO NO NO video back in 1998. I had just left high school and as Beyonce was a few weeks older than me, I remember looking at her with huge inspiration. She was talented, beautiful and motivated. I knew she would go far, and I wanted to be just like her. Finally, a black girl of my age to look up to (well, of course there was Aaliyah but something about Beyonce just stood out) when she was a part of the hugely successful R&B group Destiny's Child.

We finally got to see Beyonce the human being, and not Beyonce the A-List celebrity. So, I thought that seeing Beyonce drunk was a refreshing image because it is very rare we see this side to her and we would like to see more of it. Well, not seeing her act crazy but for once just letting her hair down without a care in the world. With Beyonce's roller coaster lifestyle, she definitely deserves it.
