Color on the Cover: Beyoncé Says Marriage to Jay-Z is a ‘Power Struggle’

by Janet

Fronting the December issue of Elle, Beyoncé Knowles says being married to hip hop mogul Jay-Z is “a power struggle.”

“But if I didn’t respect someone and they didn’t have that strength, then I would be bored,” the 27-year-old beauty told the fashion mag. “I wouldn’t be attracted to them.”

And just as long as it took her to nab her beau to wedlock, it seems making mini-mes will take just as long.

“I’m terrified of having a child,” Knowles said. “No way! I’m terrified of delivering a child because I saw my nephew being born. That traumatized me. I’m only 27. I’ve got time.”

Bravo’s breakout star NeNe Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was evicted from her five-bedroom home, according to the New York Daily News.

It seems her hubby Gregg owes $6,240 in back rent and can “no longer afford the house” which they’ve been renting since its construction in 2006, according to the notice, which was filed Sept. 24

“It’s none of your business,” NeNe snapped in an email to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, insisting that she and her husband are “financial able [sic] and stable to live where ever we feel fits.”

We’re pretty sure Kim & Sheree are LOVING NeNe’s misfortune!
