Neon Says Sorry Honey Bee

A few days ago, other many bloggers posted a translated Beyonce interview from the German magazine Neon. We did our due diligence of verifying the actual magazine and its credibility. The magazine has been around for years and has interviewed previously with many A-list American celebs and has one of the largest readerships of its kind. It is definitely an official staple in European entertainment journalism. We have also posted previous interviews from this mag, and we made sure the Editor himself had signed off on the Beyonce interview.

After many people came to us about how unusual the interview sounded and pointed out how a few of the facts included about Beyonce didn’t match up, we decided to remove it. Today, the magazine issued a retraction of the interview as well as an apology. As they admit they indeed ran the interview in the form everyone saw (and it was indeed translated correctly to English), they claim that they faulted in verifying the freelance writer’s info. The writer would not verify where he got his information and facts (i.e. the marriage contract with Jay-Z and her feelings about white producers), so the magazine now believes the writer made the interview up. The magazine fired the writer and has also issued a formal apology to Beyonce Knowles and to other publications. We received their apology via Beyonce’s reps at Sony Music:

During Alicia Keys's show at New York’s Madison Squared Garden, the "No One" singer brought out the and only diva Beyonce aka HoneyBee to perform their new single "Put It In a Love Song". As far as the video??? "Put It In A Love Song" video has been delayed once again. Originally listed to debut on BET’s Access Granted a few days ago, the show has now been pulled from the schedule and is not set to air this week. No further details are known about the cause for the hold-up or when the video will premiere.

Lady GaGa and Beyonce will have much cause for celebration tonight, as their smash ‘Telephone’ has hit the top spot on the Official UK Singles Chart.

No doubt spurred on the the song’s epic video, the feat brings GaGa’s tally of #1’s on the chart to 4 (‘Just Dance’, ‘Poker Face’, ‘Bad Romance’ and ‘Telephone’) and Beyonce’s to 5 (‘Crazy In Love’, ‘Deja Vu’, ‘Beautiful Liar’, ‘If I Were A Boy’, and ‘Telephone’).
