Beyonce Sacks Her General Manager

Beyonce has sacked her manager and become her own boss.

The "Drunk In Love" hitmaker and Jay Z are now in total control of her career after ditching Live Nation executive Faisal Durrani, although her husband doesn't hold an official professional position.

"Jay has been heavily involved in Beyonce's career for years, and was instrumental in organizing the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. But he isn't officially regarded as her manager - she really is independent," a source said.

The change in focus is to make sure her career is handled with her family in mind, and with the couple reportedly keen to give their two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy a sibling in the future. "Now the couple have Blue, she wants to make sure her family come first at all times, especially as there's talk of them adding to the brood. The best way to do that is to make sure all managerial decisions are made by her and her husband - together," the insider added.

Jared Leto Dumps His Band’s Managers

Singer/actor Jared Leto has reportedly fired his management team. The decision comes just one month before his band, 30 Seconds to Mars, was expected to release its new album This Is War.

The 37-year-old star is known for taking his music career very seriously and refusing to discuss films while promoting records.

“Jared is too controlling. This latest move just feels like self-sabotage,” a source told The Sun. “It’s very strange timing as his management team was very good. His tour manager has now left too. No one can quite believe what’s happening.”

A record company spokesperson could not provide details on the supposed firings. “I have heard rumors of the guys parting company but nothing has been confirmed,” a rep stated.
