The first comprehensive biography ever published about America's favorite living pop icon, Beyoncé, from New York Times bestselling biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli.

Beyoncé Knowles is a woman who began her career at the age of eight performing in pageant shows and talent contests, honing her craft through her teenage years until, at the age of 16, she had her first number one record with Destiny's Child. That hit-making trio launched Beyoncé's successful solo career, catapulting her, as of 2014, to #1 on Forbes annual list of most wealthy celebrities--the same year she made the cover of Time. BECOMING BEYONCÉ is not only the story of struggle, sacrifice, and what it takes to make it in the cut-throat record industry, it's the story of the great rewards of such success and the devastating toll it often takes on the human spirit.

Tax evaders' Vermont compound with an escape tunnel finally sells for $205k a year after receiving no bids because authorities couldn't guarantee it wasn't booby trapped

Ed and Elaine Brown's Vermont estate finally sells for $205

Two New Hampshire properties - including a 100-acre compound at the center of a 2007 armed standoff with federal agents that featured underground escape routes - were finally sold at auction Thursday. The auction punctuated a two-year effort to sell the properties belonging to tax evaders Ed and Elaine Brown (right inset), which attracted no bidders at another auction last year because authorities couldn't guarantee that they weren't booby trapped. The Browns became anti-government celebrities when they held federal agents at bay for nine months after they were convicted of tax evasion and refused to surrender to U.S. marshals. Security was tight Thursday, with more marshals than bidders present.

Hollander paid $205,000 for the compound in Plainfield and $415,000 for Elaine Brown's dental office in Lebanon.

Paradise lost: Fascinating pictures inside the crumbling manor house that was once home to epic poet John Milton 

Inside the crumbling Berkyn Manor in Horton, Slough that was once John Milton's home

Once an elegant mansion, Berkyn Manor - a family home in Horton in England for 450 years - now lies decayed, damp and dirty, 28 years after it was abandoned by its last owners. In its prime, the vast property - now barely standing - housed some of the country's wealthiest families. However, its most famous resident was John Milton (inset), the London-born poet whose most celebrated work, Paradise Lost, cemented his reputation as one of the greatest of all time. Its most recent owners were the Raynor family, who bought it at the end of the Second World War in April 1945. But the structure has been left empty since 1987, when Ernest Raynor died aged 96.

Ian Wrin and April Russ, from West Virginia, were dining at Cajun restaurant Tujague last year when they snapped a picture of themselves - and later saw a transparent figure hovering behind them in the background. Author Poppy Tooker, who has studied the establishment, said that it must be the ghost of the cross-dressing silent film actor Julian Eltinge.

Since the owner put it back up after the 'ghost' appearance, Julian hasn't been seen again.
