Six months have gone by, but Beyoncé Knowles is finally revealing all the juicy details of her private wedding to rap star Jay-Z. The singer, 27, told Essence Magazine in their November issue,

“What Jay and I have is real. It’s not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It’s real.”

Throughout their relationship, Beyoncé has famously avoided press coverage and refused to answer questions in interviews about their couple-dom. However, in this latest interview, she relaxes slightly and speaks a little about their wedding, but saying, “You’re gonna get me in trouble.”

The Crazy In Love star revealed she never wanted an engagement ring as felt it was an unnecessary materialism (although perhaps it was to keep it secret), saying,

“People put too much emphasis on that. It’s just material and it’s just silly to me.”

So, rather than wearing a ring, Miss Beyoncé wears a band on her wedding finger, which covers a tatoo. The tatoo is IV - the roman numerals for four - she was born on September 4th while her hubby was born on December 4th. Jay-Z has a matching tattoo on his ring finger.

Funnily enough, Beyoncé has declined to mention the $5 million 18 carat diamond ring by Lorraine Schwartz that she has been sporting since September…not materialistic aye??

Beyoncé avoided having the traditional big white wedding, keeping it small and intimate to keep in line with her values, saying it had “been her day so many times already”. Lucky her.

Beyoncé, who has a new album out on November 18th, has told Essence Magazine

“We’ve been together a long time. We always knew it would happen.”

One, two, three, Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!

Former Destiny?s Child singer and wife of rapper Jay-Z Beyonce Knowles has been tipped to beat stick-thin mess Amy Winehouse in the battle to record the new James bond theme song for Quantum of Solace.

?

Music industry insiders claim that Beyonce, 26, is the film maker?s favourite after Winehouse, 24, started her, seemingly endless, downward spiral.

?

Mark Ronson, Amy?s producer, pulled the plug on the recording session for the theme due to her erratic behaviour.

?

He said: ?We did work on it but we never finished it. I don?t think it will happen unless by some miracle it gets recorded and someone sings vocals.

?I?m not sure Amy is ready to work on music yet.?

?

The drug-addled walking hair-do Winehouse was pretty livid about his comments but they made up at the Ivor Novello awards, with Amy claiming, ?I?ve done loads of Bond songs I?m really happy with. I don?t know what the problem is.?

Her third album is on hold at the moment as her label wants her to clean up her act before they will release it. They are also holding her in her contract so she can?t make music for any other labels.

?

The choice is up to the late Bond producer Cubby?s daughter, Barbara Broccoli. If she gives the go ahead to Beyonce then she will likely start writing with British songwriter Amanda Ghost ? who is currently writing songs for Beyonce?s next album, as well as Shakira?s new one.

?

John Barry, 74 who was the former 007 musical mastermind is also rumoured to contribute for the first time in two decades.

?

He orchestrated the Dr No music in 1962 and co-wrote mot of the themes for the first 25 years of the franchise.

?

The new Bond film is released on October 31st.
