Beyoncé May Not Have Been a Fan of the Wedding Dress Her Mother Made Her

“Maybe she wasn’t so excited about it at the time . . .”

have all, from time to time, been a bit . . . inventive with the truth, when it comes to interactions with our parents. “Mom, this halibut is amazing, so, so good.” “No, Uncle Maxwell, for real, I love these dress socks to an extreme degree.” It is often easier, to avoid any hurt feelings or awkward silences, to just smile and nod and say, “Thank you so much.”

So we can all probably relate, on some level, to the following anecdote, revealed byBeyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, on the Today show this week, regarding Beyoncé’s wedding to Jay Z.

Knowles, a fashion designer, made her daughter her wedding dress, a strapless gown with multiple tiers, which was not seen by any of us until it appeared in the 2011 music video for “I Was Here.” (It has since been seen in various clips shared by the singer.) Knowles told theToday show hosts that Beyoncé revealed to her, after the fact, that she . . . may not have loved the dress. “She was so sweet to let me do that. She came back later one day and she said, ‘You know, when my daughter gets married, I’m going to let her pick out her own dress.’” (Ever tactful, that Beyoncé.) Tina continued, “Maybe she wasn’t so excited about it at the time, but she’s a sweetheart.”

Tina made all of Beyoncé’s outfits when she was a part of Destiny’s Child, and launched her House of Deréon clothing line with Beyoncé in 2004.

Perhaps the lesson here is, if Beyoncé can own up to how she really felt about her mother’s work on her wedding dress, and it was all good, you, too, should feel justified and O.K. about coming clean to your parents about any grievances or previously masked frustrations, as well.

Wiz Khalifa is ‘being sued for $2million’ by former record company

Wiz Khalifa has reportedly had a lawsuit slapped on him by his former record company in

response to the one he filed against them.

In May, Khalifa filed the suit for ‘mismanagement’, allegedly claiming the founders of Rostrum

Records often steered him towards deals that would benefit them rather than him since signing

with them in 2005. He claimed for $1million in damages and legal fees as well as the

termination of his contract.

The record company have responded with their own suit, and founder Benjy Grinberg has

blasted the motive behind Wiz’s as ‘fabricated.

Rostrum Records are now arguing that they are entitled to 15% of all royalties earned and

received by the rapper, as well as 15% from his tour and 20% from merchandise sales.

Benjy Grinberg told Billboard: ‘Thirteen years ago, we started Rostrum Records as a label that would support and nurture the artists we believe in.

‘We are very grateful that Rostrum has been able to achieve that goal and provide a strong, family atmosphere where meaningful relationships with the artists is our top priority.

‘To give everything you have to an artist and then be on the receiving end of a fabricated lawsuit is deeply disappointing. What was alleged is, in fact, the complete opposite of our actions and the antithesis of what Rostrum Records and I stand for.

‘Rostrum looks forward to quickly addressing these baseless claims so we can continue to focus our energies on our artists’ success.’

They are seeking $2m for ‘breach of the Operative Agreement’ according to Rolling Stone.

Reps for Wiz Khalifa have been contacted by Metro.co.uk for comment.

Portugal 'dream' edging closer for Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo said it had been an "unforgetable" night as Portugal had reached their target of a semi-final place.

Cristiano Ronaldo took his "dream" of an international title another step closer when Portugal beat Poland in a penalty shootout to reach the European Championship semi-finals.

Robert Lewandowski scored barely 100 seconds into the latest night of Euro 2016 drama before Portugal unleashed the player who many say could lead the country's post-Ronaldo era.

Making his first start at Euro 2016, Renato Sanches, a powerful 18-year-old and already a 35 million euro ($38 million) player, smashed home a 25 metre drive to equalise the match that went into extra time and then penalties.

Ronaldo said it had been an "unforgetable" night as Portugal had reached their target of a semi-final place. "Everyone should be congratulated."Sanches followed Ronaldo in hitting home his spot kick as Portugal won 5-3, having again failed to win a game in the alloted 90 minutes. That did not prevent relieved Portuguese celebrations.

But the Real Madrid star acknowledged again that the prize he really cherishes is a world or European title. And at 31, he knows time is running out.

"The dream is getting closer and anything can happen now. I'm not missing anything (in honours) and even if my career finished today I would still feel privileged," said the Real Madrid star.

"But I've always said, and I don't hide it, that I would love to win a title with the national team. We're on the right road."

Poland started strongly, with Robert Lewandowski scoring his first goal of Euro 2016 before the stadium had settled.

Bayern boys

Kamil Grosicki hurried past Southampton right-back Cedric Soares to deliver a great cross for Lewandowski to drive past a flailing Rui Patricio as Poland made a flying start.

It was the Polish striker's first goal of the competition, after hitting a record 13 in qualifying.

Sanches, his new teammate at Bayern Munich, came to Portugal's rescue.

German referee Felix Brych waved away Ronaldo's claims for a penalty on 31 minutes despite replays suggesting the Real Madrid star was bundled over by centre-back Michal Pazdan as he went to meet a cross.

Two minutes later, Sanches collected Nani's cutback from the right side of the area and hit a fierce shot that deflected off Grzegorz Krychowiak and beat Lukasz Fabianski at his near post.

Portugal should have hit the winner on 85 minutes, but after sneaking behind Pazan to meet a high ball from substitute Joao Moutinho, Ronaldo's left foot failed to connect with what looked like a simple chance.

Extra time was notable more for the pitch invader who tried to reach Ronaldo than for real scoring chances. Fourteen security personnel carried the Ronaldo fan off after he was caught.

Goalkeeper Rui Patricio and Ricardo Quaresma were Portugal's shootout heroes. Patricio dived left to save Jakub Blaszczykowski's tame fourth shot for the Poles, who had reached the quarter-finals for the first time.

Quaresma was next up for Portugal and made no mistake firing high into the net to beat Fabianski.

Sanches said it was a "wonderful moment for the team" and for himself to score.

He made little of Portugal's failure to make a clear win again.

"People criticise us but we don't care, because we are in the semis," Sanches said.

Ronaldo looked vulnerable, but Portugal coach Fernando Santos hailed his performance as "amazing".

"People focus on Ronaldo because he has to score, but he played amazing, he is a great captain."

Santos said it was "an exaggeration" to say Sanches was taking over from the team's number one player.

"He played a great game, but he is still growing.

"This is not the future Renato because (in the future) he will be an even better player.

"Renato is still growing and he has to take all his qualities and put it all on the pitch."

Poland were disconsolate.

"It hurts and it will hurt for a long time," Lewandowski said as he watched Ronaldo celebrate.

Portugal play the winner of Friday's game between Belgium and Wales in Lille.

The final two quarter finals are between Germany and Italy on Saturday followed by France against underdogs Iceland on Sunday.
