Beyonce and Jay-Z are looking to buy Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch.
The "Love on Top" singer and her rapper husband were given a tour of the $30 million ranch in Santa Barbara, California by owner Thomas Barack Jr, according to The Sun newspaper.
The famous 3,000-acre ranch - which was named after the fictitious magical island in children's story 'Peter Pan' - was home to the late King of Pop between 1988 and 2005 and has largely been abandoned since the singer's death in 2009. Beyonce, 31, and Jay-Z, 43, spend most of the time in the rapper's home state of New York with their 13-month-old daughter Blue Ivy, but also spend some months as a family in Beyonce's hometown of Houston, Texas.
Meanwhile, the "Single Ladies" hitmaker opened up about her marital life in an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Saturday, telling the talk show host that she "would not be the woman I am if I did not go home to that man."

Mary J. Blige has been slapped with a huge tax bill. The 42-year-old singer - who was sued earlier this month for allegedly defaulting on a $500,000 bank loan - owes $901,769.65 to the State of New Jersey.
According to documents seen by gossip website TMZ.com, the 'No More Drama' singer owes the huge sum in back taxes and it is the latest in a string of financial problems for the star. A lawsuit filed by Bank of America in New York State Supreme Court earlier this month accused her of failing to make re-payments on a $500,000 loan she took out in 2005 since June 2012.
In another lawsuit filed last November, the singer and her husband, Martin Isaacs were also accused of defaulting on a $2.2 million loan from Manhattan's Signature Bank. The financial institution is seeking the full loan amount, which was taken out in October 2011 and due to be paid back by July 2012, along with $58,000 in interest.
The "Family Affair" singer's production company, Mary Jane Productions Inc., was also named in the lawsuit.

Rihanna was forced to seek medical attention after being assaulted by a crazed fan.
The "Stay" singer was targeted in an unprovoked attack by a man, who hurled a bottle of Lucozade at her, while leaving exclusive London nightclub The Box with her model pal Cara Delevingne on Saturday night. The force of the glass bottle caused the 24-year-old star to fall and cut open her knee.
Her bodyguard's leg was also said to have been injured as he attempted to catch her attacker, who allegedly shouted something about Rihanna's boyfriend Chris Brown before throwing the bottle at her.
According to MediaTakeOut.com, "The bottle caused Rihanna to stumble into a metal drate - and slice open her leg. Rihanna's bodyguard immediately went after the crazed fan but hurt his leg going after the subject. Rih's guard was taken to a London hospital for treatment, and the mad man is still on the loose."

L’Wren Scott Hates Her ‘Girlfriend’ Title
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Dating, Clothing, Style, Features,
L'Wren Scott hates being referred to as simply Mick Jagger's girlfriend.
The London-based fashion designer, 46, says it is important for her to been recognised for her own talent despite admitting that the Rolling Stones rocker is her latest muse:
"I don't court that life. I'd rather be a worker bee. I'm a fashion designer. I don't want to be defined as someone's girlfriend. You always wonder if people will pay attention to the hard work that goes into what you do. And when you're taking on something on your own, it's your company, your investment - your life."
The former model designed all of her 69-year-old boyfriend's outfits for the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary tour and she revealed it involved a huge amount of work because his top priority is to be "comfy." She added, "It was great to do the tour. It was a big budget. The wardrobe was like a collection in itself."

Drake was denied entry to a nightclub because of Chris Brown.
The "Problem Solver" rapper - who is counter-suing the 23-year-old R&B star over a nightclub brawl in June - was turned away from Playhouse in Hollywood on Wednesday night because Chris was already inside celebrating fashion brand Popular Demand's anniversary party. A source told gossip website TMZ.com that bouncers denied Drake entry around midnight because they wanted to avoid any violence or possible incidents. The insider said the 26-year-old star reacted politely and left without any issues.
The singer, the rapper and their entourages were involved in a fracas at New York's W.i.P club, in June, in which several innocent bystanders were hurt and after French model Romain Julien filed lawsuits against them for his injuries, they are attempting to blame each other. Both claim they were not responsible for the fight and want the other to pay any damages if the model wins his suit. The fight is thought to have been caused by Rihanna, who has dated both of them.

Katy Perry is avoiding Rihanna.
The former best pals - who fell out last October because of the "Stay" singer's reconciliation with Chris Brown, who is still on probation for beating her in 2009 - are still not speaking to each other and Katy reportedly made a special request to be seated no where near the couple at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.
A source told USMagazine.com, "They aren't tight anymore because Katy doesn't approve of Rihanna dating Chris Brown."
But friends close to Rihanna, 24, insist she has no problem with Katy, 28, but doesn't care what anyone thinks about her relationship because she is happy. "Rihanna doesn't have a problem with anyone and could give a f**k about what anybody thinks about her relationship. She was focused on her and Chris and enjoying her night," a source said.

They were laughing a lot and looked really at ease and comfortable with each other. They all looked relaxed, especially Katy and John.

Rihanna doesn't care what people think of her relationship with Chris Brown.
The "We Found Love" singer recently rekindled her romance with the "Don't Wake Me Up" hitmaker, even though he is still on probation for beating her up in 2009, and Rihanna plans to ignore those who disapprove. "Rihanna doesn't care what nobody says or the whispers from people . She's just like, 'F**k it babe, just be you and I'll be me and together we're us.' People are always trying to judge because she is with Chris but like she said, it ain't nobody's business," a source said.
Rihanna, 24, recently explained that although she knew people wouldn't approve of her decision, she is happier than ever with 23-year-old Chris: "I wanted him to know what it felt like to lose me. To feel the consequences of that. So when that (stuff) came back it hit me like a ton of bricks. Like, God, you've got to be kidding right now. But I got real with myself, and I just couldn't bury the way I felt. I decided it was more important for me to be happy, and I wasn't going to let anybody's opinion get in the way of that. Even if it's a mistake, it's my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it."
