Taylor Swift was one of the many who loved Beyonce's Grammy-opening performance, but many parents complained via social media that it was too raunchy for their kids to watch.

The superstars are coming to this year's 56th annual Grammy Awards -- with newly announced performances by the likes of Beyonce, her husband Jay Z (who is nominated in almost every category), Bruno Mars and many more!

Blue Ivy turned two on Jan. 7 -- wow, has it been two years already?! -- and her parents, Beyonce and Jay Z, made the celebration memorable by renting out Jungle Island, a wildlife park and botanical garden nestled in Miami.

Looks like Jay Z got more than just a controversy out of his partnership with Barneys.

Jay-Z faced severe criticism for his charity partnership with high-end retailer Barney's after the couture store was accused of racially profiling and harassing African American customers. But Hova didn't make any rash judgments. Instead, he hit the store where it hurts the most: Their bottom line.

A bummed-out Jay-Z watching Mike Tyson losing his first bout.... Justin Timberlake crooning in front of a burning white limo -- what does it all mean? It means the official video for Jigga's 'Holy Grail' is here!

Justin Bieber has friends in high places -- and no, we're not making a pun for his occasionally marijuana-heavy extracurricular activities. The Biebs was spotted hanging out with Hova himself, Jay-Z, over the weekend, and rubbing elbows with A-list hip-hop figures at Jay's Legends of Summer tour stop in Miami.

"Rap is thinking out loud," rapper Jay Z (no more hyphen) says in the trailer for 'Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film,' which premieres on Friday, Aug. 2 at 11PM ET on HBO and follows the Hov's appearance on 'Real Time With Bill Maher.' Make a mental note or calendar reminder now for a double dose of Jay this Friday.

Jay Z (formerly Jay-Z) recently lip-synced the song 'Picasso Baby' off his new album 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' in a gallery for six hours straight and called it "performance art." Now you can call it something else: an HBO film entitled 'Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film.' Bonus: Much like 'Hot Tub Time Machine' or 'Snakes on a Plane,' you immediately know what it's about.

Hip-hop and R&B's first couple, Jay-Z and Beyonce, were as adorable as ever onstage in Philadelphia this week. Hov surprised Queen Bey at the closing of her Mrs. Carter Show tour stop in the City of Brotherly Love, and it was probably the cutest thing ever.

Beyonce and Jay-Z continued their quest for justice for slain teenager Trayvon Martin. This time, the couple attended a New York City rally in support of the fallen Floridian, whose killer, George Zimmerman, was recently acquitted of both murder and manslaughter.

Jay-Z is a busy guy. He's got Presidents of the United States to text. He doesn't have time for Chris Brown and Rihanna's adolescent drama. And he said so quite plainly.
