Whose Idea Was Beyonce's Shiny Robot Glove?

Los Angeles (E! Online) – What is that new hand that Beyonce has? Is it a robot hand? Is it superstrong?

--B Fan, Yonkers

See? I told you. The Cylons. They look like us now.

The handpiece you mention--alternately known among fashion reporters as the roboglove, the gling or Anti-Rihanna Death Grip--actually was handcrafted by Beyonce's longtime jeweler, New York-based Lorraine Schwartz. Despite Internet rumors that the piece was fashioned of pure gold--possibly in the legendary Elven forges at Rivendell--it's actually made of...

...titanium!

And, according to sources close to the gling, it's also one of a kind and therefore close to priceless.

More details on the roboglove? Sure.



• Schwartz had her artisans working day and night on the piece, laboring 24 hours a day until it was complete.

• It fits literally like a glove. Beyonce's entire upper arm was cast in wax so that the titanium piece would wrap perfectly.

• It's actually several pieces, including a ring, a glove and a separate component that covers the upper arm. It can be worn all together or separately.

• It looks heavier than it is. Titanium is about 45 percent lighter than steel.

• Beyonce really, really doesn't want to take it off. She wore it on Saturday Night Live. She wore it in her "Single Ladies" video. She wore it in her cover spread for Gotham magazine. She wore it on the red carpet at the MTV Europe Awards.

• The glove was Beyonce's concept all the way, I am told--a "superpower" hand to complement the singer's new Sasha Fierce ego.

Speaking of fierce, the white-hot flame of truth doesn't stop for a turkey. Look for more answers to your burningest Q's later this week.

It might.

She stole the idea from Kylie:

Wasn't it MJ?
They are all "stealing" from each other. You can also say Prince "stole" some of his ideas and outfits from Hendrix, Little Richard etc.
Classifying these things as stealing doesn't work.

I can hear AMERIE saying right now "I told you KYLIE, watch out, that chick steals everything, her daddy has spies in every country".

all of this

To bad it doesn't hold magical powers to help her sing and dance


She really could use some help in those areas

Additional fact:

• The glove is incredibly stupid.

That is a huge understatement

I wonder what Jay-Z thought of that thing when he first saw it.

Beyonce: "Look, baby, my roboglove just came in."

Jay-Z: "That's pretty cool, B."

One Week Later

Jigga: "Say, baby, can you please take the roboglove off tonight?"
It's starting to really creep me out and become a little
weird."

Beyonce: "I TOLD YOU MY NAME IS SASHA FIERCE!!!

Hove: "Well, okay, than Sasha can you take that shit off please.
Thanks. Appreciate it."

she totally got it cause she wanted one glove like mj and begged her daddy to help her do the same thing! But yeah, it does look a lot like Kylie's glove.

She isnt the best singer and not the best dancer, she works well in dancing when its a club or strip dance. But could she do full out choreography like janet jackson. NO and NEVER. She is a MOVER, not a dancer.

She's hurting her career rather than helping it by stealing other people's ideas and songs. After awhile, people aren't going to take her seriously as an artist. Also other artists would hide their stuff when they see her and her manager father coming, unless they're getting paid off.

FACT:

The glove smells like doo doo cause she can't feel when she busts through the T.P.

Must you post the same thing in every goddamn Beyonce thread.

FACT:

Beyonce can sure give your junk a helluva squeeze with that glove on.

TotalAlisa said:

Janet is a dancer NOT a singer.

You are so crazy

estelle81 said:

Okay, you and lastdecember tie for the win on this thread

JustErin said:

when did i say janet was a singer?????

lastdecember said:

I can imagine her saying something like that. When I saw some photoshoots of the two of them, there was one so identical with the white wifebeater and long hair flowing to the face. It is one thing to take a little here and there from an artist, but a copycat? You can create a style without losing yourself completely.
