BEYONCE, JAY-Z, DIDDY & MARY J. BLIGE GREET EARLY VOTERS IN MIRAMAR, FLORIDA.

Hundreds of early voters at the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center pepped up when Hip-Hop royalty appeared unexpectedly, urging voters to support Barack Obama for president. Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z and Beyonce, Diddy and Russell Simmons had voters screaming, reaching for cell phone cameras and forming a throng around the library on Sistrunk Boulevard when the stars arrived in a fleet of black SUVs to shake hands, take pictures and stump for Obama. The unannounced appearance was a scaled-down version of what was supposed to be a "Last Chance for Obama" rally at the War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale and in Miami Gardens today. The 15-minute appearance was more than enough time to boost the spirts of waiting voters, many of them residents of the northwest, predominantly black Fort Lauderdale neighborhood. And they were already Obama supporters, judging by their shirts.

NEW PICS: BEYONCE & HER MOM INTRODUCE HOUSE OF DEREON DRESS COLLECTION; BEY MAKES SURPRISE APPEARANCE DURING JAY-Z'S CONCERT.

Beyonce and her mother Tina Knowles announced their new House of Dereon Dress collection at Bloomingdales in New York City last night.

Also last night Mrs. Shawn Carter made a surprise appearance and gave a mini-performance of her new single Single Ladies at Power 105.1's Powerhouse event during her hubby's set. BTW, can the crowd be even more ecstatic?! Peep the video below.

However, it's this dude's youtube performance of Single Ladies that has everyone wondering when Beyonce will make him one of her background dancers....then again, his flawless on-point performance....well let's just say that Bey ain't trying to let anyone spoil or steal her spotlight. Just ask Michelle, LeToya, Kelly, Solange....

BEYONCE ANNOUNCES TITLE OF NEW ALBUM, 'I AM...SASHA FIERCE.' + PHOTOSHOOTS & CANDID PICS WITH HUBBY.

Beyonce has revealed that the name of her new full-length double album, due Nov. 18, is I Am…Sasha Fierce. "The new record is a double album and has two covers, like a magazine would have two covers," Beyonce said of the Music World Music/Columbia Records release. "One of the covers is named I Am... and the second cover is named Sasha Fierce. That is my alter ego and now she has a last name." In past interviews, Beyonce has mentioned "Sasha" as the part of her personality that comes forth when she is performing on stage.

"I have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work and when I'm on stage, this alter ego that I've created that kind of protects me and who I really am," the singer said. "That's why half the record, I Am...is about who I am underneath all the makeup, underneath the lights, and underneath all the exciting star drama. And Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I'm working and when I'm on the stage. The double album allows me to take more risks and really step out of myself, or shall I say, step more into myself, and reveal a side of me that people only know me see. I have recorded over 70 songs and I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have poured my heart and soul into it. It is my baby. It is the most time I have spent on any project since my first records as a member of Destiny's Child."

Songs on the I Am... side include If I Were A Boy, Halo, Disappear, Broken Hearted Girl, Ave Maria, and Satellites. The Sasha Fierce half includes Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), Radio, Diva, Sweet Dreams, and Video Phone.
