Solange Knowles Goes On A Twitter Rant Against “Ignorance”

Beyonce and Jay-Z‘s security inconvenienced other families in Lenox Hill Hospital. Blue Ivy Carter was actually born via scheduled C-section. Kanye stopped by Bey’s birthing suite, only to put a tiny mic into Blue’s hand and immediately snatch it away again. There are a lot of rumors and gossip surrounding the arrival of Hov’s first born, and Solange Knowles doesn’t like any of it one bit. Time for a Twitter rant! “We are supposed to be super human and watch people we love get slandered, lied on, and ridiculed. It is one of THE hardest things to accept,” the singer rages. The absolute hardest thing to accept? The fact that Solange can’t just hunt down all of your home addresses one by one. Because if she could…oh lord.

Tweets Knowles, “In any other workplace…if someone directly tells your mother or sister is a liar and a fake ect…you would naturally express yourself.” Luckily for the haters, Solange is taking solace in the purifying joy of chubby baby goodness. “However, the pure happiness and joy I’ve witnessed and experienced helps me to keep my mouth shut,” she writes. Also helpful are the texts Beyonce‘s been sending all afternoon that just say, “KNOCK IT OFF.”

Beyonce Buys A Million-Dollar Mini-Van In Preperation For Her Baby

Like many young and growing families, Beyonce and Jay-Z have traded their flashy car for a safer, larger, and more practical mini-van. But unlike most other young families, the power couple shelled out a million dollars for it! Beyonce has been seen cruising around NYC in her new ride, a massive Mercedes luxury van pimped to the brim with all sorts of mind blowing necessities for the soon-to-be ‘rents. Jay insisted on installing a $150,000 sound system and plasma screen DirecTV for New York Nets/Dora The Explorer viewing, while Bey requested cream colored hand-stitched Italian leather upholstery. We guess baby spew comes off of leather a lot easier than fabric. The whip also has wifi capabilities, and even contains it’s own bathroom with a shower. So basically, there’s no reason to ever get out. Get pics and more under the jump!

Solange Knowles Gets In Fight With Cops Over Inflatable Banana

Some days it’s hard to find inspiration in the ol’ celebrity gossip world. And other days, Solange Knowles gets in trouble with the cops for trying to enter a club carrying a 5-foot long inflatable banana. THIS is why we love our job, internet! Amazingly this all went down while Beyonce was onstage rubbing her beautiful Beyonce baby belly and shimmying in a sequined tuxedo jacket. Ugh, that alone gives us second child syndrome.

According to TMZ, Solange got upset when she was turned away from Miami’s Club Cameo (because of the banana, apparently), and complained to cops that “she was turned away for racial reasons.” Then, according to the po-po, “Knowles became unruly with off-duty officers, who took her across the street to try and calm her down. Solange claims that’s when cops pulled a “weapon” on her — we’re told she claimed it was a knife — and threatened to deflate the banana.”

It does not get better than this, people. The last thing we want is for the lovely Solange to earn the title of “crazy auntie” before her niece or nephew is even born. Just pack that banana up and head home, girl!

Solange And Son Daniel Julez Rock Out In Neon

We don’t know for sure if Solange Knowles intentionally had her son Daniel Julez wear awesome little socks that matched her shirt. We’re just saying that would be the only thing that makes these photos of Solange Knowles and child more adorable than they already are.

With Mom in orange-pink and mustard color-blocking and son in neon green shoelaces, the equally stylish Jr. and Sr. Knowles stepped out last night in NYC to attend the announcement of Anna Dello Russo as International Concept at Macy’s guest editor-at-large. To be that fashionable and still be able to drink juice boxes in public without people giving you the side-eye…that kid is living the dream.

Solange Is A Modest Mom In A Sea Of Skanks

solange-main1

It may surprise you to find out that Beyonce is not our favorite Knowles. Nope, we are hardcore members of Team Solange, and love her style, her broad range of musical tastes (that Dirty Projectors cover, hello!), and her motherly ways. So we were of course charmed when we caught her poolside in Miami hanging with her lil son Julez (and possibly, Lance Bass?), looking surprisingly modest by Hollywood standards.

The singer hardly showed any skin, choosing instead to wear a regular old bathing suit, covering it up with a sweater. She even went so far as to wrap her legs in a towel, preventing gawkers (ie: us) from seeing any bit of her bod. Could Solange be leading a wave of puritanical change in Hollywood, or is she just sensible and a body-conscious, like the rest of us? [Photo: SplashNewsOnline]

We have done Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week five times, and this was by far the most fabulous of them all. The energy in New York City was back, and more celebrities than ever came out to the tents to watch the models show off the new looks for Spring 2010. From hanging with Rihanna on Fashion’s Night Out to hosting our own Fashion Week party to checking out the hottest in shoes and clothing, this Fashion Week was truly amazing.

Never Too Young Four Fashion

solange-knowles1

With stylish mama Solange Knowles and a ferociously fashionable auntie like Beyonce, no wonder little Daniel Julez J. Smith wants to start learning about fashion early. Solange took her four-year-old son to the Bryant Park tents for Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week today and by the looks of his casually chic black blazer, pants, checkered shirt and tennis shoes, this little guy is off to a great start! Maybe his Uncle Jay-Z has been giving him some tips! [Photos: Splash News Online]

Solounging On Grassy Knowles

solange-knowles

Solange Knowles may be a globetrotting diva, but the songbird showed that she doesn’t require a posh private pool at the Four Seasons in order to work on her tan. Beyonce‘s little sis’s tanning venue of choice on Tuesday was none other than the general public patronizing Central Park in New York city. No hotel key or velvet ropes here; Solange and a pal lounged on a blanket while listening to music, reading Dwell magazine and even chowing down on a sandwich and some chips for lunch. Solange is just like us! [Photos: Splash News Online]

Style Wars: Solange Vs. Beyonce

As the Knowles sisters take on Japan to promote the Samantha Thavasa & Disney Collection, the sexy siblings have been dressing less than chic. Yesterday at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, Solange wore an XXL white shirt with a ruffled pink skirt, while sis Beyonce sported a denim-inspired dress. While both looked gorgeous from the neck-up, we’re torn who looked worse south of their shoulders. [Photos: Getty Images]

Solange Throws Mic Stand At Fans

Last week, Solange Knowles opened for Estelle at the House Of Blues in Chicago. It was supposedly a great gig—except for when she threw her mic stand and almost cracked someone’s skull. While she meant for it to stay on stage, that extra oomph she gives everything in life sent the heavy prop flying into the audience to stunned gasps. Obviously concerned, she muttered “didn’t mean to hit you there” and ran from the stage. Solange twittered about the incident soon after (“I really felt bad. Didn’t mean for it to go into the crowd. Oops.”), and now there’s video for us all to enjoy. Watch yourself, Sol! You’re not famous enough to get away with killing fans. Yet.
