Beyonce's nepo baby Blue Ivy, 13, does her grandmother Tina Knowles' make-up for cousin's fashion show
Tina Knowles enlisted her 'talented' granddaughter Blue Ivy Carter to apply her make-up so she could be glam for a very special Paris Fashion Week event on Thursday. 'She did a fabulous job,' the 71-year-old grandmother-of-six wrote to her 4.2M Instagram followers. 'What [do y'all] think?' The 13-year-old nepo baby of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Jay-Z did not appear on camera for the clip aside from showing her manicured hand applying lip gloss to Tina (born Celestine Ann Beyoncé). Blue Ivy currently serves back-up dancer duties for her 43-year-old mother's $269.5M-grossing, 32-date Cowboy Carter World Tour, which next hits up NRG Stadium in Houston, TX this Saturday and Sunday. Carter might be a pre-teen - but she's already garnered a Grammy Award, MTV VMA Moon Man, NAACP Image Award, Voice Arts Award, two BET Awards, and broken two Guinness World Records. Beyoncé's Manhattan-born mini-me previously danced back-up for her songs My Power and Black Parade during her $579.8M-grossing, 56-date Renaissance World Tour last year. Knowles-Carter and her 55-year-old husband of 17 years (born Shawn Carter) are also proud parents of eight-year-old fraternal twins Sir and Rumi. Meanwhile, Tina was in Paris with her niece Angie Beyincé supporting her 'handsome' grandson Daniel Julez Smith Jr. The 20-year-old Next Model strutted his stuff on the foggy catwalk of the Bluemarble Men's SS/26 ready-to-wear runway presentation. 'The clothes were awesome!' Tina gushed from her front row seat. Knowles' eldest daughter Solange Knowles was only 18 years old when she welcomed Julez during her three-year marriage to her first ex-husband Daniel Smith, which ended in 2007. The 39-year-old Grammy winner has reportedly been dating experimental jazz artist Gio Escobar since 2020 - one year after she separated from her second husband, music video director Alan Ferguson, following five years of wedded bliss. Despite not turning 21 until October, Smith is scheduled to host the official Cowboy Carter Afterparty happening at nightclub Sekai Night & Day in Austin, TX this Saturday. On February 2, Cowboy Carter won three Grammy Awards - album of the year, best country album, and best country duo/group performance for II Most Wanted with Miley Cyrus. 'I just feel very full and very honored. It's been many, many years. Just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work,' the 35-time Grammy winner said in her acceptance speech.

Opening doors. God bless y'all. Thank you so much. Thank you.' On September 26, Beyoncé lost all 12 trophies she was nominated for her eighth studio album at the 2024 People's Choice Country Awards. This, after Knowles-Carter - who gets 58.7M monthly listeners on Spotify - shockingly received zero nominations at the 58th Annual Country Music Association Awards. And while country music industry elites went out of their way to snub her,the Texas Hold 'Em singer's Cowboy Carter became her eighth consecutive No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 and the first album by a black woman to top the Top Country Albums chart. Beyoncé's first foray into the genre also scored her No. 1 records in the UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Broadway, unions and real estate bigs battle over NYC casino proposals as deadline to submit bids approaches
Mega-developers are vying for the chance to build the Big Apple's first casino as Friday's bidding deadline approaches — and everyone from Broadway aficionados to union workers has an opinion. Both supporters and opponents of some of the eight different proposals for a downstate casino held rallies across the city Thursday ahead of the deadline to submit their bids. Hundreds of Local79 union members rallied in Times Square alongside local businesses in support of a Caesar's Palace proposed by rapper Jay Z's RocNation and developer SL Green, which has vowed to work with union construction. 3 NYC developers are eyeing the chance to have the first casino built in the heart of Times Square as the bidding deadline nears. Hannah Fierick 'The developer has a track record of working with Union Laborers,' said Local79 member Noel Holliday. 'That's why we need this project.' But the renderings have drawn pushback from the Broadway community just a stone's throw away. 3 Supporters and opponents of the proposed casino held rallies across the Big Apple on Thursday. SL Green Reality 'We don't need a casino to bring this neighborhood back. A casino in the heart of Times Square would only set this area back,' said Jason Laks, President of the Broadway League, at a separate rally against the project. At a swanky office in Midtown, developer Soloviev's CEO Michael Hershman touted renderings for 'Freedom Plaza,' a massive metropolis to be built on an empty lot in Kip's Bay along the East River in partnership with Mohegan Casinos — that he said would also bring union jobs. The complex 'will uniquely deliver what New Yorkers need most. Accessible green space, housing that working families can afford, and well-paying union jobs,' Hershman said. 3 Local79 union members, along with local businesses, gathered in Times Square in support of the planned Caesar's Palace casino proposed by RocNation and SL Green. Billy Tompkins/ZUMA / Freedom Plaza would boast two residential towers with over 1,000 apartments — almost half of which would be affordable housing — along with a museum and a sprawling public park, with the casino underground. But laborers pointed out that the area sits close to a public school and residential neighborhoods. 'You're going to build affordable housing next to casinos, schools next to casinos, I don't know about you but I don't want my sons and daughters going to school next to a casino,' said Mike Hellstrom, vice president and regional manager of Local79. Both proposals include surrounding community donation funds of around $250 million. Three casino licenses are up for grabs, with the state Gaming Facility Location Board set to announce its final decision on December 1.
