VIDEO: Solage Knowles Goes Mental At A Fat Lady
It must be difficult being Beyonce's sister - she got the looks, the ambition and the talent and all you're left with is a name that rhymes with 'flange'. With that in mind, if we were Solange Knowles we'd get a little bit tetchy with people who compare us to Beyonce. No, more than that, we'd actually throw an embarrassing full-on sulky tantrum on television if someone even said the name 'Beyonce' within earshot of us. We would. We'd look like total bellends doing it, and it'd probably harm our career quite profoundly, but a little thing like that wouldn't stop us. Funnily enough it wouldn't stop Solange Knowles either. A hapless presenter on a local Las Vegas Fox entertainment show happened to mention Beyonce's name just before a Solange Knowles interview yesterday, and Solange threw an incredible schoolmarmish hoity toity "Mer mer mer" prissy little tantrum at her for it. Video footage? Why of course there's video footage...

Beyonce is White, L’Oreal Seems to Think
It must be a great feeling to be Beyonce Knowles-Z - a strong, black, female role model for millions around the world. That is, unless a cosmetics company decide to make you white. Then you kind of fall down on part of that description. It would seem that the make-up behemoths at L'Oreal may just be the types to force this kind of change on the young diva, with claims being made that Beyonce's skin tone has been lightened for a magazine ad. The company dispute these allegations. You know - 'whitening' things up to make them more palatable to the masses. They did it with every other element of black culture - the music, the clothing, the lingo - why not start trying to make black celebrities white too? Okay, so maybe we're going a bit overboard with it - but it's Friday, and hecklerspray has some drinkin' to get done. It's maybe not as bad as that.
