paternity quiz, Beyonce's dad faces


A woman has claimed she is pregnant with Beyonce Knowles' father's child.
Alexsandra Wright, thought to be in her late 30s, has filed a paternity case against Mathew Knowles at Los Angeles County Superior Court.
According to website TMZ.com, she is six months pregnant and claims Mathew is the father of the unborn baby.
Mathew has been married to Tina Knowles since 1980. They have two children together, Beyonce, 27, and 23 year old Solange.
Mathew manages both of his daughters and has also moved into film, executive producing Beyonce's 2009 thriller Obsessed.
He also has his own record label, Music World Entertainment, which represents Beyonce, Solange and former Destiny's Child singers Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland.
Mathew currently praised his eldest daughter for "reaching out" to country music star Taylor Swift after Kanye West embarrassed the teenager onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards.
He said: "I can only say it was a proud night for me as a manager, but more importantly as a father. I've always said the thing that makes me most proud about Beyonce is not how many records she's sold or how many plaques she has or how many awards; it's that she's a genuine, good person.
"I know it's hard for people to believe that she can actually be that nice of a person, but she actually is."

Abu Dhabi F1 race play Aerosmith, Beyonce


DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) An entertainment promoter says Beyonce and Aerosmith will headline concerts at the first ever Formula One race in Abu Dhabi.
Flash Entertainment said Monday the performers will open and close the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend next month.
Beyonce is slated to kick off the festivities on Thursday, Oct. 29. Aerosmith will wrap things up three days later. But the only way fans in the conservative Gulf city can look them is to buy tickets to the F1 race.
Concerts are also planned for Friday and Saturday, though the headliners haven't been announced.
Some of the attractions planned around the Emirati capital's first Formula One race include outdoor movies and free concerts — including one by hip-hop producer Timbaland — on the city's Persian Gulf beachfront.

Beyonce stirs Islamist ire in Malaysia again



KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) – Malaysia's opposition Islamist party wants U.S. pop star Beyonce to cancel a planned concert in this Southeast Asian country, two years after it prevented the singer from performing, citing moral issues.
Foreign acts often draw protests by the Pan Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), whose youth wing succeeded in forcing Beyonce to cancel a 2007 concert and sought last year to prevent Canadian singer Avril Lavigne from performing in this mainly Muslim country of 27 million people.
"We are against western entertainment that promotes hedonism. We do not want our youth to be misled," said Ahmad Sabki, vice-president of PAS Youth, was quoted as saying in Thursday's New Straits Times newspaper.
Malaysia's image as a moderate Muslim country has been hit by the current sentencing to caning of a woman caught drinking beer.
Beyonce is due to perform in Malaysia on October 25 for the first time, if she is allowed, as part of a global tour, the newspaper said.
Earlier this month, Malaysia initially banned Muslims from attending a concert by U.S. hip-hop band The Black Eyed Peas, which was sponsored by Guinness, one of the brands owned by the world's biggest spirits group Diageo.
The ban was reversed, but a senior official said it was up to the individual's "better judgement" to attend the event.
PAS conservatism on cultural issues has caused problems for the three-member opposition alliance of which it is a part, said Zaid Ibrahim, a former law minister who is now a senior opposition politician.
"It is as if for PAS Youth, the effort to fight corruption, abuse of power and inciting racism is less important compared to the efforts to make sure the young who are just learning to love and wish to be entertained freely are obstructed from enjoying a little freedom," Zaid wrote on his website

Suri earmuffs buys Katie Holmes at Beyonce concert


Katie Holmes' daughter burst into tears at a Beyonce Knowles concert on Tuesday night.
Three year old Suri Cruise Katie's daughter with husband Tom Cruise was initially thrilled as she sat with her mother behind velvet ropes in the general admission section of the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia.
But when Beyonce took to the stage to perform her hit 'Crazy In Love', Suri started crying, hiding her face in Katie's coat to escape the bright lights and noise.
As soon as the number was over, Katie and Suri hurried out of the stadium, returning 15 minutes later with a pair of industrial ear muffs for the bambino.
A source said: "We were all a bit shocked when they left after the first song, but they were back before long, with Suri wearing a huge pair of earmuffs.
"She was much happier after that, and clapped and danced to the rest of the concert."
Katie, Tom and Suri have been living in Australia for the past two-and-a-half months while Katie films new horror movie 'Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark'.
They are expected to come back to New York this weekend.
