Today In BET BeyWatch: Maybe it’s the sunshine and crisp spring air here at BET BeyWatch headquarters. We feel…hopeful. While there’s no solid reason to think new music is imminent, something feels like it’s brewing.

Last known Beyoncé sighting: Yesterday Queen Bey posted pics of what looks like Blue Ivy’s birthday party. Cute pics. But Blue’s birthday was three months ago. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WOMAN?! As far as current sightings, tonight Kobe Bryant plays his last basketball game. Maybe Bey and Jay will be courtside...

Numerology Evaluation: Maybe Beyonce released the Blue b-day pics three months later because that’s how long it takes to release her creativity into the world? Perhaps the album she’s undoubtedly working on right now will be released three months after it’s done? Three is the magic number. Word to Schoolhouse Rock.

Percentage Chance That New Album Will Drop Today: 40%. Think about it: Kobe goes out in a blaze of glory tonight. Whether he beats his 81-point single game record or gets injured at tip-off and sits out the entire game, Kobe’s retirement will dominate the news cycle. And we all know what happens when anyone tries to shine a little too bright. Beyonce swoops down and hurts all your feelings (and your edges).

Until tomorrow, this is BET BeyWatch
