Beyonce’s inability to forgive her cheating dad for fathering a lovechild with a woman two decades his junior could spell disaster for the pop diva’s career, sources tell The New York Post’sPageSix Column.

Are Jay-Z and Beyonce trading in life in The Big Apple — AKA “Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of” — for a more settled existence in rural Pennsylvania. It’s possible. The owners of 16,000 square-foot estate on a 210 acre lot have given a tour of what they say could be the new home of the hip-hop power couple.

Houston native Beyonce wasn’t kidding when she said she likes “those boys up top from the BK.” The “Sasha Fierce” stunner sported her new “Brooklyn” (which happens to be the hometown of her husband Jay-Z) tatoo at stylist Harry Josh’s 9th Annual Spring Fling party in New York City.
