Narcissism: Between Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé.

According to Wikipedia, to be narcissistic is to have an excessive or erotic interest in oneself and one's physical appearance. Narcissistic individuals are vain, self-loving, self-admiring, self-absorbed, self-obsessed, conceited, self-centered, self-regarding and egotistic.

Narcissism is a social disease that afflicts the rich and the famous. This disease is regularly sustained by the media which routinely feed on the gullibility of the famous. At the height of her “social sickness”, Britney Spears was notorious for her desperation for the limelight. And when it appeared that some other fellow narcissistic celebrities were stealing the shows, Spears resorted to the absurd. She shaved her head and, promptly, the young woman was back on top of the news. But in spite of all that nonsense, the time came for the media to get their hands on a fresh set of suckers.

Right now, the most notorious in narcissism among the celebrities are Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter a.k.a. Beyonce. Amidst a very tight competition, these two women will go to any length to display their obsession for public attention. From marrying some “unusual” men to giving their kids names that are most ludicrous and wearing outfits that make them look as good as stark naked, just anything will do in feeding their insatiable lust for public attention. And this was evident at the last Met gala where both Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé wore outfits that left nothing to imagination.

In the above picture, the gross hypocrisy of the American media was glaring. One picture that shows celebrities in the erotic movies genre is captioned as “Porn stars at the 2014 AVN porn Awards”. But the other picture showing Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian is captioned as “Influential people at the Met gala.” Objectively though, the “porn stars” dressed like choir girls when compared to the so-called influential women who looked as good as cheap whores.

 

 

 

Who Gave Birth to Blue Ivy, Beyonce or Tina Seals?

On top of everything in the lives of both Beyonce and Jay Z and, most especially, the divorce rumors swirling around them, there is now something else. It is a rumor brewing with a very strong aroma around the alleged surrogate mother of Blue Ivy. So, Beyonce did not actually give birth to Blue Ivy?



A woman, Tina Seals, has filed a suit in a Manhattan court claiming that she was, in fact, the birth mother of Beyonce’s daughter. And she wants custody of the “golden child”, Blue Ivy.

According to some legal experts, there was no way Beyonce and Jay Z could lose the rights to their daughter. But this factor would depend on their alleged relationship with Tina Seals, if any such relationship existed at all.

In the state of New York, it is illegal to pay anyone to act as a surrogate. But unpaid surrogacy is not illegal. Therefore, if indeed Tina Seals did act as a paid surrogate to the power couple, she might have a legitimate case.



Incidentally, two factors are not helping Beyonce in this matter. Firstly, she is very well known to be overtly narcissistic by her grandiose and excessive interest in her physical appearance. Women in her shoes, more so, those who are celebrities usually don’t have a room for any pregnancy or motherhood in their lives. To such women, a baby tends to create some form of unwelcome rivalry.

Secondly, Beyonce did not help her case against a claim of bogus pregnancy when sometimes in 2011, TMZ revealed to the whole world how Beyonce’s purported pregnancy “collapsed” while trying to sit down on a chair (See pictures below). This made many people across the world to believe that she was wearing a prosthetic.



Maybe it’s high time the power couple came out publicly to clear the air by making their positions known on all these wild rumors flying around them. Keeping mom and pretending all are well will never help their images as celebrities of note.

Akon on Beyonce and Jay Z's Marriage.

American R&B and hip hop recording artist, Akon, has lent his voice to the raging rumors of divorce between Beyonce and Jay  Z. While the rumors takes turns and curves all over the internet and the news media, Beyoncé and Jay Z continue to carry on as if all is well. But the more the power couple puts up a public façade, the more the people out there are skeptical about their union. In the meantime, some fellow celebrities have been making their opinions known privately or publicly. One such celebrity is Akon who, in a recent interview with TMZ, observed that the so-called marriage or relationship between Beyonce and Jay Z was all about money than good old-fashioned love. Hear him:

"Their relationship has been more of a business to the outside world than an actual relationship," the "Smack That" singer said to TMZ.



Akon went further to state that "If you become a public figure and you have a relationship, your relationship also becomes public…So if you don't open up to the public, they will naturally speculate."

And that is so right! As far as Beyoncé and Jay Z's relationship is concerned, Akon's theory certainly rings true. In 2014 alone, rumors about infidelity and divorce have run rampant about Bey Z, as the two refuse to address any of the gossips head on. Though the couple is currently on tour together, the media is convinced they are heading for “splitsville”.



In fact, Beyoncé did not help matters when just last month, she changed the lyrics to a song about infidelity while on the stage, and she seemed to direct the ditty at her husband. At the same time, the same Beyonce is all over town posting “We are a happy family” pictures on Instagram, which include Jay and their daughter, Blue Ivy. Unknown to her, the woman was unwittingly adding fuel to the fire by all these fake “P.R.” which, if anything at all, are only adding to the confusions about the status of their marriage.

The important thing for both Beyonce and Jay Z to do now is to publicly make bold the actual relationship between them. Are they married for love or are the two merely a corporate couple doing all these “happy-go-lucky” stuff for money?

Beyoncé, Jay Z and the Judases Around Them.

Lately for Beyoncé and Jay Z, “there is always something”. However, that “something” is rarely good to the ear. The more the power couple wishes ordinary folks (like me) will mind our business, the more we keep getting “bombarded” with arsenals of rumors about their marriage. And if we are to go by the popular adage, “there is no smoke without fire”, one has no choice but to “pay mind” to the "delicious" stories.

In my humble opinion, the biggest problem confronting Beyoncé and Jay Z is not really the alleged acts of cheating on the part of the guy. And neither is it because their marriage appears to be fast and furiously heading in the opposite direction of “Till death do us part”. These are serious issues but the "fire" in them would not have continued to burn without the "oxygen" of the catalysts to the issues.  

Rather, the biggest problem facing both husband and wife are the families, friends and associates that hang around them. It’s from among these very close individuals that some "Judases" spring forth to play the role of “reliable sources” to the nosy media.

Naturally, the worst bane of the rich and the famous are their poor families and relations. Remember what Oprah Winfrey’s relation did to her some years back, selling the famous woman’s story to the National Enquirer?

For some fast cash, a typical "Judas" from the enclave of Beyoncé and Jay Z will “spill the beans on them” without batting an eyelid. Unfortunately, fishing out such treacherous culprits from among a retinue of “ass-kissing” hangers-on will be a hard nut to crack.
