beyonce-snl-beygency

As the biggest artist on the scene, it’s no surprise that Beyonce fans are fervent. Christened The BeyHive, the affectionate set have become renown for their unshakable dedication to the superstar (and their defence of her at any and every junction).

This evening saw Saturday Night Live pay hilarious homage to the ‘Hive’ with a side-splittingly funny skit called ‘The Beygency’. 

The digital short stars The Amazing Spiderman 2 actor Andrew Garfield, who makes the “unthinkable” mistake of being a casual King B fan.

What happens next provides all sorts of LOL’s…

‘UTA‘s Kevin Hart may sit atop the comedic food chain with a string of Box Office wins to his name, but it would seem he’s got a long way to go before he impress fellow funny man Mike Epps this year.

Billing him “overrated” here, Epps soon found himself on the receiving end of a barrage of insults aimed his way by the ‘Soul Plane‘ actor, who threatened to eat into his share of comedy’s pie by booking shows in the same city’s and same night’s as Mike’s.

How Mr. Epps responded?

His words below…

UK Gladiators have ample cause to celebrate this week. For, ‘Scandal’ has found a new home.

The popular political drama was at the center of many headlines early this week when More4, a Channel 4 spin-off station, confirmed that it would be dropping the ABC hit after airing it for two seasons.

Alas, an outcry of sorts ensued – with some cultural commentators making a number of insightful correlations; most notably between the lack of “color” on British screens and how the so-so promotion for the Kerry Washington fronted show in the UK almost guaranteed its axing.

Whatever the case, British fans of the series needn’t fret anymore. Because, an even bigger network has pouched the rights to air the show.

It is said all good things must come to an end.  And, if news sources are to be believed, the latest good thing coming to a close is BET’s top rated religious program ‘Celebration of Gospel’.

After 14 years of seeing its stages graced by the best of R&B and gospel including legends Whitney Houston and The Clark Sisters to new schoolers Monica, Destiny’s Child, and more, the show appeared to be at the height of its popularity.  As the 2014 edition, hosted by Academy Award-nominated actress Taraji P. Henson, boasted the series’ best ratings ever,  fans believed the show’s newest slogan of “forward in faith” was fitting indication that it was moving full speed ahead.

Rumor has it, this isn’t the case:
