According to an interview with Reuters, beloved Beyonce Knowles admitted that performing on Broadway would be “her ideal job.”
What are the diva’s qualifications, you ask? Knowles claims that her live concert performances (her world tour launches on April 26 in Zagreb, Croatia) are “really theatrical.” And most of all, Broadway aligns with her new wants for a normal schedule.

McCaig Welles Gallery’s newest exhibit, titled Queens Arrive, opens today at the Williamsburg gallery. This series features select international female artists or “matriarchs” in the line of graffiti. The exhibit includes a range of media from photography to paintings on canvas. Works on display are created by a group of 16 or so artists from all around the world and, of course, with crazy graffiti artist names—Femme 9, Claw Money, EGR and Zore4, just to name a few.
“The gallery has shown graffiti artists for almost ten years now. INDIE 184 is a graffiti artist we’ve worked with for some time. The owner of the gallery approached INDIE to do the show, and she decided to feature all female artists from around the world,” said Megan Hays, the gallery's assistant director.

Former radical group leader Mark Rudd of the Weather Underground, a 1960s militant offshoot group of Columbia’s Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), returned to New York City to celebrate his new book Underground: My Life with SDS and the Weathermen.
Now a retired community college instructor living in New Mexico with his second wife, Rudd continues to stay active locally and spreads his story of organization and mass movement. “It is not a heroic story,” he says, but Rudd hopes that his personal narrative might point budding activists in the right direction nevertheless.
Stephanie J. Lee spoke with Rudd before his book party last night for an inside look on how to organize mass movements.
