Not cool Beyonce...but I really don't care.

 

The biggest controversy from yesterday's was whether or not BEYONCÉ lip-synced the national anthem.

 

She was AWESOME as usual, but people are saying she wasn't singing it. 

 

Yesterday, a spokeswoman for the Marine Corps Band (which backed up the performance) said that Beyoncé made the decision to rely ENTIRELY on that track.

 

She said, quote, "We all know Beyoncé can sing.  We all know the Marine Corps Band can play.  We do not know why she decided to go with the pre-recorded music at the last minute."

 

She added that the band DID play live for KELLY CLARKSON.

 

Congrats to Shakira!

 

SHAKIRA gave birth to a baby boy yesterday.  His name is Milan Piqué Mebarak.  His daddy is Spanish soccer star GERARD PIQUÉ

 

In a post on her website, Shakira said, quote, "The name Milan (pronounced MEE-lahn), means dear, loving and gracious in Slavic; in Ancient Roman, eager and laborious; and in Sanskrit, unification.

 

"Just like his father, baby Milan became a member of FC Barcelona at birth."

 

Justin Bieber STILL on top!

 

JUSTIN BIEBER has surpassed LADY GAGA to become the most-followed person on Twitter!

 

As of last night, both of them had more than 33.3 MILLION followers.  But Justin was ahead by about 18,000.

 

And it sounds like his lead is only going to increase.  According to Twittercounter.com, Justin adds an average of 40,055 followers per day, while Gaga only gets 30,495.

 

Well, it was quite obvious he wasn't home....

 

Sunday wasn't just a bad day for New England Patriots safety DERRICK MARTIN . . . it was a REALLY bad day. 

 

Because while he and his teammates were in Massachusetts getting BEAT by the Baltimore Ravens, Martin's home in Colorado was being ROBBED.

 

Two armed, masked men made off with, quote, "numerous items of value."  An adult and several children were home at the time, but no one was injured and no shots were fired.

 

The crime occurred at around 10:00 P.M. local time as the game was ending.  Police said there was no indication the burglars knew Martin would be in Massachusetts at the time.

 

PLEASE REUNITE ZACH AND KELLY!!!

 

There's been talk of a "Saved By the Bell" reunion for a while . . . however, it's never really seemed on the cusp of happening.  It still isn't, but MARK-PAUL GOSSELAAR, who played Zack, is teasing that it COULD happen.

 

Earlier this week, the paparazzi asked Mark-Paul what he thought of the Disney Channel's upcoming "Boy Meets World" spin-off, "Girl Meets World", which includes former "Boy Meets World" stars BEN SAVAGEand DANIELLE FISHEL.

 

Mark-Paul said he'd check it out and added, quote, "I'll see how they do, and maybe we'll do a reunion as well."

 

Don't Trust The B.....to be back on your TV

 

ABC is yanking "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23" from their schedule.  Technically, the show hasn't been canceled, but that seems inevitable at this point.

 

The show, which featured former "Dawson's Creek" star JAMES VAN DER BEEK playing a fictionalized version of himself, was in its second season.

 

11 episodes have already aired this season, and eight more have been produced.  It's unclear when or if they'll see the light of day.
