Beyonce Knowles has problems dribbling. The singer-turned-actress has revealed she once embarrassed herself in front of a former boyfriend after drooling all over herself after falling asleep in public. She told Britain’s Top Of The Pops magazine: “I once arranged for a boyfriend to pick me up from a hair salon, but I’d fallen asleep under the dryer with my mouth wide open and drool dripping out. I woke up to find a pretty big puddle of spit in my lap and my boyfriend laughing his head off. I was so embarrassed.”

Rap mogul Jay-Z has sparked rumours he’s planning to wed longtime girlfriend Beyonce Knowles after he shed several pounds on a strict new diet. Former Destiny’s Child star Beyonce reportedly suggested her burly boyfriend shed a few pounds after pointing out he is 30 pounds heavier than when they started dating in 2003. The 36-year-old has taken her comments to heart - he has already shed 15 pounds, according to insiders. A source tells American publication In Touch, “Jay-Z was never fat, but he was getting chunky. Beyonce likes a little meat on his bones, but not too much.” According to the source, Jay-Z’s biggest challenge was turning his back on his love for candy.

Beyonce hated being skinny for her role in Dreamgirls so much that she immediately ran to put on weight as soon as she was finished. The singer had to fast for 14 days, and then eat only protein shakes to lose the weight for her role in the movie. Sky Showbiz quote her as saying about the process: “It was hard, I felt weak, but I did it. “It wasn’t healthy though. I didn’t look like me at all in the film, which was the point,” said Beyonce, 24. As soon as filming finished, however, Beyonce took charge of her body. “Immediately the next day I ate fried chicken, fried fish, French fries - anything fried - and the weight started to come on really fast and easy,” she revealed.

Well, the message (fans’ description of DejaVu) posted below this article has officially been declared FALSE! I kind of had a feeling about that, hehe. Anyhow, continue reading because this article in this post is officially from SONY COLUMBIA / MUSIC WORLD MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT (Beyonce’s record label)!!

The pop music superstar’s sophomore studio album premieres all new music co-produced, written and arranged by Beyonce. “Deja Vu,” the album’s first single, features guest artist Jay-Z with co-production by Rodney Jerkins. Beyonce’s co-producers on B’Day include Rich Harrison, The Neptunes, and Swizz Beatz. Beyonce’s new album is the artist’s first full-length solo work since her #1 multi-platinum 2003 solo debut, “Dangerously In Love,” which earned her five 2004 Grammy Awards including Best Contemporary R&B Album and Best R&B Song (”Crazy In Love”). With her five-in-one-year Grammy win, Beyonce tied the record for the most Grammys to be won in a single year by a female artist. “Dangerously In Love” and “Crazy In Love” made chart history when both album and single simultaneously hit #1 in the U.S. and the UK (which hadn’t happened since 1983). Beyonce toured for the first time as a solo artist in 2003 in support of “Dangerously In Love,” which has sold more than 11 million records worldwide.

Beyonce finished work on her new studio album three weeks after the wrap of her upcoming film, “Dreamgirls,” slated to open nationwide on December 22, 2006. The film version of the smash Broadway musical — loosely based on the R&B-to-pop crossover saga of The Supremes — is directed by Bill Condon (”Gods & Monsters,” “Kinsey”) and stars Beyonce Knowles, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, and Danny Glover. “Dreamgirls” and its soundtrack featuring Beyonce are among this year’s most avidly-awaited holiday events. The “Dreamgirls” soundtrack is Beyonce’s first joint venture with Sony Urban Music/Columbia Records under the Music World Music umbrella.

Muller also directed Gwen Stefani’s “Luxurious” and Pink’s “Family Portrait”.

And Beyonce: when the lights went up, she was crying. “I can’t believe it,” she told me, shaking her head. She will be a movie star. She told me that working on the movie spurred her to finish a new album. “We did it in two weeks,” she said, “Wait ‘til you hear it. It comes out on my birthday, Sept. 4, and it’s called ‘B Day.’ Making this movie really inspired me.” Rodney Jerkins produced much of it and wrote a lot of the material, a real R&B album. Maybe “Dreamgirls” has already had a good effect on the culture.

Destiny’s Child star Beyonce Knowles was in the South of France on Friday evening to show the film industry a sneak preview of her new film musical, ‘Dreamgirls’, supposedly loosely based on the story of The Supremes. Beyonce, who recently starred alongside comic Steve Martin in ‘The Pink Panther’, portrays the Diana Ross character in the film, and was quoted as saying she “absolutely loved making the movie.” Co-star Jamie Fozz quipped: “The toughest thing in the movie was to have to kiss Beyonce thinking that Jay Z (Beyonce’s boyfriend) was going to kick my a**.” Click on the thumbnails below to check out HQ photos of the stars of the movie on the red carpet at the Martinez Hotel at the Dreamgirls Sneak Preview as a part of the 59th Annual Cannes Film Festival in France.
