There have been some rather embarrassing reports about Beyonce’s performance on New Year’s Eve. Apparently the performance was paid for by the Gaddafi family who are apparently known terrorist supporters. However, Beyonce’s representatives decided to eliminate all of this nonsense with the following statement: “The party in St. Bart’s on New Year’s Eve, with Beyoncé in performance, was hosted by Muatsim-Billah Gaddafi, not his brother Moutassim Bilal “Hannibal” Gaddafi, as reported in the press.” The press says tomato and Beyonce’s agents say… well, tamato. That really cleared things up didn’t it? Now there is no further doubt as to who Beyonce gets her salary from.

Blogging Friends

After deleting his original blog entry, songwriter Ryan Tedder who got accused of recycling the track he penned for Beyonce’s ‘Halo’ on Kelly Clarkson’s new single ‘Already Gone’. The One Republic singer has since released an official statement saying “‘Already Gone’ is one of the best song I’ve written or produced since ‘Bleeding Love’ and stands tall on it’s own merits apart from ‘Halo’. They are two entirely different songs conceptually, melodically, & lyrically and I would never try to dupe an artist such as Kelly Clarkson or Beyoncé into recording over the same musical track, the idea is both hurtful & absurd. I think when people hear “Already Gone” they will hear what I hear-one of the greatest female vocalists on earth giving her most haunting and heart-breaking performance on a song she helped write. I challenge people to listen and form their own opinions.”

Singer Beyonce is so fed up with the imposters pretending to be her on Twitter she is reportedly planning to take legal action.

It is claimed her sister Solange Knowles, who is a fan of the site and regularly updates her own page, alerted her superstar sister to a number of fake pages posting messages pretending they are from her.

But the star is now planning to take legal action, according to British newspaper The Sun, as she is fed up with the imposters.

One page on the social networking site has 33,994 followers with another offering “You daily dose of Mrs. Carter” as her husband Jay Z’s real name is Shawn Corey Carter.
