Beyoncé Knowles has arrived in Australia and has been keeping silent about the recent Kanye West video awards controversy – but wearing a T-shirt bearing the name of her rapper boyfriend, Jay-Z.
The star boarded a plane within an hour of the MTV Video Music Awards for a 18-hour flight to Melbourne, for the Aussie leg of her I Am… tour.
West embarrassed the star when he grabbed the mic from singer Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech at Sunday night’s awards in New York, to say that Knowles should have won the award for best female video instead.
Jay Leno’s debut primetime show has fallen flat with reviewers, who panned it, while viewers gave it the apparent thumbs-up.
The show, which debuted on Monday night, drew the biggest audience – 18.4 million – for an entertainment show since the finale of American Idol.
Leno also had the good fortune of the Kanye West MTV gaffe falling into his lap for his debut show. He interviewed West about hijacking Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech at the awards.
Reviewers were united in saying the new show showed little departure from the old. USA Today called the show a “cut-rate, snooze-inducing, rehashed bore”.
“The future of The Jay Leno Show is likely to look almost exactly like The Tonight Show past. So much ink has been devoted to describing how Mr Leno’s new show would depart from his old one that it was startling to see how little difference there was,” said the reviewer for The New York Times.
