PHOTOS: Unflattering Photos Of Beyoncé Become Instant Meme

An “unflattering” picture of Beyoncé performing at the Super Bowl’s halftime show has transformed into a fully-fledged meme. After Beyoncé’s publicist emailed Buzzfeed earlier this week to ask that the site “respectfully change” several images of her client to “some better photos” from the halftime show, her attempt backfired in epic proportions.

Buzzfeed published the email, and in the Internet phenomenon known as the Streisand Effect, one image in particular circulated so virulently it became an instant meme.

Scary: One creative person used photoshop to transform Beyoncé’s fierce face into a bloody zombie

The original seven images that Ms Noel-Schure asked Buzzfeed to remove were included in a list of “The 33 Fiercest Moments From Beyoncé’s Halftime Show.”

Yuck: Another meme creator made it look like Beyoncé was pulling a disgusted face in reaction to supermodel Bar Refaeil’s Super Bowl ad smooch

Imaginative: This is what happens when provoked Internet users get creative

Since the email became public on Monday, internet users have been trying to come up with ways to make Beyoncé’s “unflattering” facial expressions even more unflattering. So far, the singer has been turned into a bloody zombie, a “She Hulk”, Conan’s wife, and an Olympic weightlifter.

Snoop Dogg Smokes Weed During Panel

By CHRIS TALBOTT

LOS ANGELES — Music fans who turned out to BMI's annual pre-Grammy Awards "How I Wrote That Song" discussion got a little more than they expected thanks to Snoop Dogg – a contact high.
The rapper smoked marijuana during Saturday's panel discussion, lighting up a large, Kush-filled blunt on stage at The Roxy. He briefly passed it off to B.o.B before methodically reducing it to ash over a 15-minute period. The panel also included Busta Rhymes and songwriters Luke Laird and Evan Bogart, all of whom abstained – at least on stage.
Fittingly, the conversation eventually turned to Snoop's groundbreaking work on "The Chronic."
Laird recalled growing up at the end of a dirt road 10 miles outside Conneaut Lake, a small town of 700 in rural Pennsylvania. Yet Snoop's work with Dr. Dre still infiltrated his world and that of all the other country kids around him.
"Let me just say, the album everyone was listening to was `The Chronic,'" Laird said, noting how surreal it was to be sitting on stage with Snoop.
With acoustic guitar in hand, he played a bit of his Blake Shelton hit "Hillbilly Bone" in its original form: a rap song. The Nashville-based songwriter had everyone bobbing their heads to the beat.
"Now I feel like more than ever you see these influences crossing genres," Laird said.

Adult only: 4 Tips to improve your séx life

1. CONNECT WITH YOUR SENSUAL SELF

When it comes to having great séx, knowing what you're comfortable with in the bedroom is just as important as technique (or being freakishly flexible.) Feeling in charge of your séxuality is a non-negotiable requirement on the quest to mind-blowing séx, so if you're lacking in the séxual self-confidence department, now is the time to bone up. Dance around your apartment nakéd, schedule some me-time with a vibrating toy, buy yourself a hot dress – whatever you do, find a fun way to increase your séxual confidence and awareness on your own, so that you're better able to rock your man's world later on

2. WARM IT UP

Foréplay is to séx whilet stretching is to a workout; you have to prep your body for what's to come. Some men may want to fast forward to the main event, so you must be firm on this and not allow them to skip the pre-show. Kissing, groping, biting, and stroking are all excellent go-to moves; however, nothing is more beneficial to amazing, orgas mic séx than a sensual, tantric massage. Not only do massages feel good, but, as an added bonus, they warm up your skin and connect you with your partner. So put on some séxy music, light a soy candle, and take turns massaging each other, head to toe.

3. TRY EVERYTHING ONCE

If you're in a relationship, what was once great séx can become stale if you're not careful. You may ask yourself 'what happened?' or feel like the spark has dimmed, but in reality, you just need to change things up. There is nothing more exhilarating than the unexpected, so experimenting with different positions or introducing a toy might be all that is needed to put the "oh yes!" back into your lovemaking. For inspiration, flip through a book with your partner, such as The Position Séx Bible or The Position of the Day Playbook. The Kama Sutra is also a classic.

4. THE BIG O

For most women, exhilarating séx means stronger, more frequent orga sms. While you can't climax at will, there are ways to increase the probability of an orga sm. Start with strengthening your PC muscles with séxercises, relax as much as possible, and of course, practice a lot!

Lastly, it's important to remember that great séx isn't about having perfect technique or rock solid abs, instead, the best séx of your life will happen when you are completely in the moment, ferocious with lust, and having fun.
