We generally don't know our Diddy from our P. Daddy from our Puffy from our Sean Combs, so it sucks to have another musical performer doing the name change thing. The Artist Formerly Known As Beyonce will now be called Sasha Fierce for her new album. True, that sounds like the drag alter ego of Miss J from America's Next Top Model, but MSNBC has the scoop on the meaning behind the name:
BeyoncÈ Knowles would like to be known by a bold new name. The R&B singer has christened herself "Sasha Fierce" for her new double album, "I Am…Sasha Fierce", due in stores on Nov. 18, and has released a lengthy justification for the comical moniker. "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 former Destinyís Child frontwoman said in a statement. "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 Iím on the stage."
This is great news! Because we've been busy setting up the tea set with tiny chairs holding Janet Jackson's "Damita Jo" and Garth Brooks's "Chris Gaines" CDs and we needed one more partygoer. Yaaaayyy!
