Beyonce plans a two-year career break
Singer Beyonce Knowles is reportedly planning a two-year break from her work to focus on her private life.
Beyonce, who recently got married to rap mogul Jay-Z, will be taking time off from work after she wraps up her current tour.
The Ava Maria hitmaker, who has not been able to spend quality time with her husband Jay-Z, will be focusing on her family life after wrapping up her European 'Iam Sasha Fierce' tour.
"My priorities are slowly changing. So after this tour I might take two years off. I've worked hard enough to be able to do that," The Daily Star quoted Beyonce as telling Marie Claire magazine.
"We (Knowles and Jay-Z) try to synch our calendars. I started working on my tour a year ago to make sure I had time at home," she added.

Jay-Z and Beyonce to show off in Vegas
The Carters will be showing out in Las Vegas when they hit the strip to perform.
Beyoncé’s got a four-date engagement on the strip at the Wynn’s Encore from July 30 to August 2. She’s filling in for comedian Danny Gans, who recently passed away.
But before Bey takes the stage in Vegas, her hubby, Jay-Z, will be spiting a few bars at the Palms Resort Casino. The rapper-turned-mogul will be doing two shows at The Pearl on July 3 and July 4.
The dates are part of a mini tour of intimate performances he’ll be doing while he works on his next album, The Blueprint 3.
After Vegas, it’s off to Chicago’s Charter One Pavilion and the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. He’ll be wrapping the tour in Atlanta at the Chastain Park Amphitheatre.
Ciara will be warming up the crowd for him at certain stops on the tour.
For tickets to Jay’s show check out Livenation, but if you want to see Bey, you may have to do a little digging. Neither Livenation nor Ticketmaster have the dates listed. Ticket information is available on Encore’s website, though.

Review: 'Obsessed'
It's no 'Fatal Attraction,' but when Beyoncé's in the room, you'll hardly care.
It would be easy shorthand to describe "Obsessed" as "Fatal Attraction" with more diverse casting, but that wouldn't be entirely true. This new thriller, though a glossy, perfectly serviceable time-passer, lacks both the heat and the moral ambiguity that made the 1980s classic so compellingly complex.
That's mainly because the liaison here between Idris Elba's sturdy asset manager Derek and gorgeous office temp/delusional stalker Lisa (Ali Larter) never becomes as irrefutable as the Michael Douglas-Glenn Close attraction that proved so, well, fatal. This one's a lot more one-sided, which, for better or worse, makes Derek more safely sympathetic than Douglas' straying Dan.
Derek and Lisa's relationship, like much else in "Obsessed," is short on dimension and subtlety, but it turns into a mess believable enough to keep us invested.
Director Steve Shill, working from David Loughery's utilitarian script, moves things along quickly and efficiently, providing a requisite number of tense, squirm-inducing moments along the way.
Then there's Beyoncé Knowles, who literally and figuratively kicks butt as Sharon, Derek's hot, forthright wife. The singer-actress' saucy, glamorously wry performance makes up for some of the film's inherent predictability.
t's probably worth seeing "Obsessed" with a big audience just to experience the Beyoncé mania that is bound to erupt during the movie's crowd-pleasing finale.
