Beyonce's Official Rhythm Heaven Commercial

GeekSugar — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 07:33:09 -0700

We already know that Beyonce thinks Nintendo's new Rhythm Heaven game for the Nintendo DS and DSi is very relaxing, and after watching her play the game with her nephew, I think it's safe to say she thinks it's a lot of fun too. Well, the final cut of the Rhythm Heaven commercial featuring Beyonce herself has arrived, so be sure to check it out below. And a status update on my Rhythm Heaven progress? I've only got a few more games to unlock but am still completely addicted! The remixes at the end of each level are amazing (love the brighter colors and faster music) and how much fun is the Moai Doo Wop mini-game?! It definitely deserved its four out of five star rating.

Watch Beyonce Play Rhythm Heaven on the DSi

Promoting the new Nintendo DSi game Rhythm Heaven (available April 5), Beyonce Knowles has already said she is quite the gamer girl who especially loves Wii games. Although we have yet to see the official commercial featuring the singer and her adorable nephew Julez playing Rhythm Heaven, we got a sneak peek with some behind-the-scenes footage that you can check out below!

And to see a fun interview with Beyonce where she talks about Super Mario Bros. being her first video game and how she can sing the entire theme song, just read more.

Beyonce Unleashes Her Inner Gamer For New DSi Commercial

Beyonce is already a well-known singer, dancer, and actress, but can we add gamer to the list? Well, since she has just been tapped to star in a Nintendo DSi commercial for the latest game to hit the console, Rhythm Heaven (which is due to hit shelves April 5), I would say the answer is yes! Not only is the game totally appropriate for the music queen, but according to an interview in Entertainment Weekly, she's an avid gamer even when away from the cameras:

On why she loves playing Rhythm Heaven: I have been having a great time. I've been rehearsing for my [upcoming] tour in stilettos and uncomfortable corsets, learning all these arrangements. Today I was playing the game with my socks on, on the couch, and it was very relaxing!

To hear what Beyonce's favorite games are, and learn why she's better at Guitar Hero than playing a real guitar, just read more.

On her favorite games: I like all the Wii games. Love Guitar Hero. This reminds me a little bit of a portable Guitar Hero, which is great, because I don't want to carry around a big guitar! Growing up, I liked Tetris. I even like BrickBreaker on the BlackBerry.

What she's better at: Guitar Hero, or playing the real thing: Guitar Hero! At one point I was learning to play guitar, maybe 10 years ago. I wrote "Dangerously in Love" on the guitar. I'm very upset with myself for stopping.

CES 2008: Beyoncé in Blu-Ray

GeekSugar — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 08:00:21 -0800

Just when I thought I wouldn't run into anyone I know at CES, guess who appears in front of my eyes on the big screen? My girl Beyoncé! So maybe she wasn't really there, but seeing her on Panasonic's gorgeous 108-inch TV on Blu-ray, made me feel like I was watching a live concert. Beyoncé's tour DVD was played using Panasonic's new DMP-BD30 Blu-ray disc player, which offers advanced high definition technology, exceptional visual detail and not to mention, stellar audio.

Beyonce Unveils the New 'B'Phone' by Samsung

GeekSugar — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 16:00:38 -0700

The beautiful Beyonce was out in full force today launching the special edition Beyonce Upstage phone. The new "B'Phone" by Samsung is similar to the Ultra Music Phone in that it features the popular dual-face handset which everyone seems to be taking a liking to.

What's unique about this phone is the fact that it includes a digital power amp, making the sound quality quite impressive for such a small phone. Other great features include a quick PC sync to easily create playlists, a 1.3-megapixel camera and bluetooth technology.

Wondering where Beyonce fits into all of this? The UpStage will come preloaded with Beyonce content and new B'Phone owners will receive access to load video and music content from Sprint.com including exclusive Beyonce photo gallery and videos, as well as a childhood song from Beyonce when she was 10.

This hot new burgundy and gold cell is said to hit Sprint and Wal-Mart stores on November 4.

Love It or Leave It? The New Samsung Ultra Music Phone

GeekSugar — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 03:00:35 -0700

So now that we know Beyonce Is The New Face Of Samsung, we need to assess the goods. The first major feature of the new Samsung Ultra Music F300 cell phone that caught my eye is the dual-face handset. On one side there is a music player with a FM radio stereo, a PC sync function and an easy to use music library. Flip it over and you get a cell phone with a 2.0 megapixel camera, a memory card slot and a huge clear screen. The dual-face handset is a neat idea, especially since they've kept the phone uber slim with a 9.4mm profile. But I think I'm an all-in-one girl and will hold out for the iPhone. What do you think? You like it?

Beyonce Is The New Face Of Samsung Electronics

GeekSugar — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 07:00:03 -0700

We already know that celebs like Jennifer Garner, Britney, LC, Jennifer Aniston, Fergie and Jessica Simpson are constantly attached to their cell phones and PDAs, but this is a rare sight- Beyonce actually holding a cell phone that is (gasp) connected to an earpiece? No the paparazzi didn't catch Beyonce out for an afternoon stroll. The real reason she's all wired up is because she just landed a deal with Samsung electronics and is shown here filming the first commercial in NYC. Does this mean that she might actually become a techie diva after all? Keep checking back for the finished commercial cut.
