Beyoncé and Jay-Z didn't come alone to the '2011 MTV Video Music Awards' (Sun., 9PM ET on MTV).

Then, without any additional words, at the end of the song, she unbuttoned the jacket to reveal what's growing inside of her to the whole world.

Four-year old Allyson is a huge fan of Beyoncé. But it's more than just a love of her music, confidence and style that attracts the pageant princess on 'Toddlers & Tiaras' (Wed., 10PM ET on TLC). Allyson is in love with the color of Beyoncé's skin.As her mother explains, Allyson only buys "brown" dolls, and isn't even happy with her own skin tone.
"I like tanning so that I can get brown like Beyoncé," Allyson said. "I wanna be just brown."
When she got her spray tan and saw the darker tone on her skin, she was so happy she started singing 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)' right there on the spot. Sure, it's a little strange, but at four years old, she knows what she likes and it's kind of adorable how devoted she is to the whole idea of brown.

When it comes to gross, time-wasting late-night TV games, 'Watch What Happens Live' (Thursdays and Sundays, 11PM on Bravo) is the clear-cut intergalactic champion. On Thursday's edition, host Andy Cohen and his guests Susie Essman and Jeff Lewis celebrated 'Pit-stille Day' by looking at pictures of a woman's hairy armpit and guessing to whom it belonged.For the first armpit, Cohen gave them the choice of Beyonce, Rihanna, or NeNe Leakes. "You know, I don't want to say what that looks like," said Essman. Cohen was thinking the same thing. Essman and Lewis both guessed wrong, as it turned out to be Beyonce. For a particularly unattractive patch, they were given the choices of Julia Roberts, Amy Winehouse, or Courtney Love. Surprisingly, it was Roberts.
Essman wound up the champion, and received a $1,000 gift certificate for hair removal as a prize. Lewis was happy he didn't win. "I would never have used that," he said. Cohen said he had heard otherwise. Oh, the dalliances of the Hollywood hirsute.

Marking the 125th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty, Beyoncé took to the stage with Lady Liberty as her backdrop on 'Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular' (Mon., 9PM ET on NBC). She was radiant in a black gown and treated her audience to her new single, 'Best Thing I Never Had,' and Lee Greenwood's patriotic classic, 'God Bless the USA.'It was a great prelude to an impressive fireworks display shooting up from five points along the Hudson River. Reports have more than 40,000 fireworks being used for the presentation, which lit up both sides of the river, with crowds coming from all over to witness the spectacle.
But NBC had it covered for those of us scattered across the state who still wanted to bask in the triumph of what may be the biggest-budget fireworks display in the nation without footing the gas bill to make that cross-country trek.

Rapper Jay-Z is one of the ten most successful recording artists of the past decade. But on the new 'Late Show' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on CBS), he discussed his very humble upbringing.Jay-Z (real name: Shawn Carter) was born in the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, NY, and he went through some tough times. Shawn was abandoned by his father when he was 12. Without a man in the house, he had to find a way to support himself -- which led to some very questionable decisions.
David Letterman asked about life in the projects: "What was that like for a kid?" Jay-Z said sometimes there were "great days ... fun and ice cream." "But then, some days it would turn super-violent." Asked about the source of the violence, Jay-Z said it was caused by "little guys with big guns."
