7. The Beyonce and Jay-Z divorce rumors are reaching critical mass [Jezebel]
Blind Gossip, who predicted the Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes split, sounds pretty certain about an impending Beyonce and Jay-Z divorce:
“We have told you MANY times before that this high-profile marriage is just a business arrangement. We have also told you that this business arrangement will wind down after their current project is finished. Well, it’s almost over!
They are splitting up everything (properties, money, child/ren) right now, but will be keeping up appearances until the announcement. They are separating this year, with the divorce to follow in about six months. It will be very clean and very fast. In fact, the parties involved are describing the timeline as “Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes fast.”
Of course, rumors of friction in the Bey and Jay empire have surrounded the couple for months so this could just be more of the same. The only other site that is reporting about a breakup of America’s power couple is Page Six of the New York Post so all hope is not yet lost.
