Beyonce goes from pale to black for African mag shoot

Singer Beyonce, who recently was in the spotlight for sporting skin that was paler than usual, was photographed wearing black face make-up for an African inspired magazine shoot. Beyonce, 29, took inspiration from African culture and wore head wraps as well as tribal-style clothing and accessories for the shoot for French fashion magazine L’Officiel Paris’ 90th-anniversary issue.

L’Officiel has said in a statement that Beyonce was “paying homage to African queens” and as a “return to her African roots, as you can see on the picture, on which her face was voluntarily darkened”. “As for the artistic make-up, the inspiration came from several African rituals during which paint is used on the face,” the Daily Mail quoted the magazine as saying.

“We find the images beautiful and inspiring. The designs are all reflective of the African influence on fashion this season. Miss Knowles poses with royal allure. A queen, a goddess, Beyonce is a bombshell beauty with a divine voice,” it added.

Beyonce Knowles was virgin until marriage

Singer Beyonce Knowles reveals she was a virgin until she met her husband Jay-Z.

"People would be surprised as to the lack of experiences I've had. When I was 12 or 13 I had my first boyfriend, and he was my boyfriend until I was 17. At that age, that was a long time. I've always been very loyal and a little more mature," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

"Though I was too young for it to really be a boyfriend - we didn't live together, we didn't, you know...That was my only experience with a guy, and since then I've only had one other boyfriend in my life - Jay."

Beyonce who married Jay-Z in 2008 has revealed in the past that her friendships with women have stopped her from getting tied up in unhealthy relationships with men.

"I think I am a feminist in a way. It's not something I consciously decided I was going to be; perhaps it's because I grew up in a singing group with other women, and that was so helpful to me. It kept me out of so much trouble and out of bad relationships," she said.

Kendra wants to bite Beyonce's butt

Kendra Wilkinson is a hot siren herself, but can’t stop gushing about her favourites in Hollywood – especially Beyonce Knowles' derriere, which she likes so much that she would like to bite it.

The former Playboy Playmate couldn’t stop praising Scarlett Johansson and Beyoncé at Svedka's BartonBotCamp at David Barton Gym, reports The New York Post.

Wilkerson said that she loves Johansson's legs and lips because she has sexiness without trying.

And she finds Beyoncé's butt so nice that she 'wants to just bite it!' Her own body, however, is reserved for Philadelphia Eagle Hank Baskett and she's nicknamed her legs 'Hank's happy trail.'

Islamic Groups Brand Beyonce's Tour 'insolent Sex Party'

Beyonce is facing another backlash from Islamic groups - conservative Muslims in Egypt fear her upcoming concert will threaten the country's "social peace and stability".

The Crazy In Love superstar is due to take her I Am... world tour to the mostly Muslim nation on Friday (06Nov09).

But strict Islamic groups have complained to the government for allowing the show to go ahead, branding it an "insolent sex party".

In a letter to authorities, a representative for opposition group Muslim Brotherhood writes, "Why are you encouraging this insolent sex party? You are accused of disturbing social peace and stability, encouraging viceand debauchery".

We should salute her instead of criticising her

The criticism mirrors similar outrage in Malaysia last month (Oct09), when Muslim leaders led protests against Beyonce's sexy on-stage antics.

The star subsequently scrapped her concert in the capital, Kuala Lumpur.

However, the Egyptian event organiser has dismissed the criticisms - insisting not all Muslims are offended by Beyonce's performances.

Ahmed Beltagi says, "We are Muslims too... this will not stop Egypt from hosting an award-winning, first class artist. We should salute her instead of criticising her".
