Hot Happenings in 2011 with Jay-Z's Four Top Girls

See What's Happening with Beyonce, Rihanna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Alicia Keys

2011 promises to some fun happenings with Jay-Z's former girls, the women he performed duets with in his songs on the way to becoming top all time rapper. It appears his ability to do business, sing a tune, and have good taste in harmony shows up with the success these women are having. Here's the top six duet partners he's had and what's promised for them in 2011.

Beyonce Knowles Should Relax in 2011

Beyonce starts off strong in February 13, 2011 where she will wait with baited breath to find out whether she wins best pop female vocal performance for Halo or best pop collaboration vocals with Lady Gaga for Telephone. [1] Coming after the having her DVD/book available at Walmart of her I Am World Tour, what could be better. Beyonce is married to Jay-Z since April 4, 2008 [2] and they are expecting their first child. I expect her to be doing pre-natal aerobics and singing happiness. She recorded a song with Jay-Z in 2003 Dangerously in Love on her album and Jay-Z recorded a song with her on his album Blueprint 2.3 Bonnie and Clyde 03.

Friend Gwyneth Paltrow's Movie Contagion to be Release in 2011

Gwyneth Paltrow sang with Jay-Z on a duet in 2006, despite her fame as a talented actress. In October 2011, her latest movie, Contagion is due to be released. And everybody will be Country Strong with her new music video.
