“Beyond the Glamorous Stage”:Beyoncé and Jay-Z Reveal Intimate Love Moments in Travel Book “On the Run II”-HO

The Knowles-Carter household is clothing-optional. beyonce jayz new photos
Maybe you’ve wished that you could be a fly on the wall in Beyoncé and Jay-Z‘s home. You’d watch Blue Ivy deal with all the exhausting adults around her, coo over Sir and Rumi, and observe Bey and Jay’s post-Lemonade, post-4:44 interactions with each other. And now, thanks to some On the Run II tour merch, the Knowles-Carters themselves have made that last part come true. According to attendees’ social media posts, the artists are selling a booklet filled with sexy, previously unpublished photos of Bey and Jay. As seen in photos fans have taken of the tour book and shared online, per HotNewHipHop, most of the snapshots Beyoncé and Jay-Z have shared are incredibly intimate. In one, the shirtless rapper smokes a cigar in bed while Beyoncé, wearing only a G-string, reads the newspaper next to him; in another, they lie in bed completely naked, holding onto each other to strategically cover up any censorable bits. Other, more clothed pics include one of Beyoncé looking back at the camera as she runs away through a field, wearing a mustard yellow crop top and matching pants and letting her long hair blow in the wind, and another of her sitting on her husband’s lap in a chair on the beach, with Bey wearing a lacy rainbow-colored suit and huge floppy red hat, and Jay sporting a coordinating red suit and dark sunglasses. Elsewhere in the OTRII tour imagery, Bey and Jay, who tied the knot in New York City in April 2008, have shared photos of each of them holding two babies (who were later revealed not to be Sir and Rumi), as well as footage of what looks like a recent vow renewal ceremony. And with dozens of dates still left on the tour, there’s a good chance we’ll slowly but surely be given even more peeks inside the Knowles-Carters’ typically uber-private household.

The Mona Lisa Is Going Underground

Marc Piasecki/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images The Louvre is eyeing a new home for Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. According to a new report, the museum’s crown jewel is at the center of renovation plans aimed at quelling “disappointment” over the artwork’s crowded viewing experience. Per the French newspaper Le Figaro, the da Vinci masterpiece—currently housed in the museum’s Denon wing—would be relocated to its own separate chamber in the basement of the institution. Reportedly, the renovation would allow guests to bypass the famous glass pyramid entrance in favor of two underground entry points: one for the Mona Lisa and the other for temporary exhibitions. The budget for the museum’s overhaul is estimated to be €500 million but could see a potential reduction due to efforts by French President Emmanuel Macron to curb state spending.
“We don’t welcome visitors very well in this room, so we feel we’re not doing our job properly,” Laurence des Cars, director of the Louvre, explained. “Moving the Mona Lisa to a separate room could put an end to public disappointment.” de Cars also mentioned that the renovation would allow guests to have a more pleasurable viewing experience with the other works that are kept near the Mona Lisa, like Veronese’s The Wedding Feast at Cana, which she says is obscured by selfie poles. Vincent Delieuvin, the Louvre’s chief curator of 16th-century Italian painting, echoed de Cars’s statement. “We’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but this time everyone is in agreement,” he told Le Figaro, adding that “It’s a large room, and the Mona Lisa is at the back, behind its security glass, so at first glance it looks like a postage stamp.”

The painting, which depicts the Italian noblewoman Lisa del Giocondo, receives around 30,000 visitors daily with wait times that can run up to two hours. It is kept behind bullet-proof and anti-reflective glass which, in addition to temperature and humidity settings, can cause quite an unpleasant viewing experience. No wonder online reviews of the portrait often deem it as “the world’s most disappointing masterpiece.” Art lovers have also long complained that the painting overshadows the other artwork displayed nearby. In January, the Mona Lisa was at the center of a protest in which activists from Riposte Alimentaire threw pumpkin soup at the painting. While the painting was not damaged, the country’s culture minister Rachida Dati called the event an “attack” on “our heritage.” Looks like a new home might be the best for all parties.
