Beyoncé Sneak Peek Fresh from her latest team-up with Gaga, it looks like Lady Beyoncé is working on new material. She issued a sneak peek of her latest video last week and it’s making for popular viewing on YouTube. The bootylicious one knows how to give good video and we’re betting “Why Don’t You Love Me” won’t disappoint. The Coronas – “Someone Else’s Hands” Slickly done vid from the Dubliners.

Could this be called a power ballad? Janey Cutler – Greatgranny on Britain’s Got Talent So the programme that unleashed SuBo on the world is back and no doubts Simon Cowell would kill for another breakthrough act like her.

Are those dollar signs in your eyes Simon?
