Top 9 things you should know about Beyonce

Since she Beyonce is on Center Stage last week then let's get to know her more. Here are the top BLANK things you should know about her.


1.)She was tapped to be the face of Giorgio Armani's new perfume, Emporio Armani Diamonds. The truth is Beyonce is allergic to perfume.

2.)Talk about being too talented! In 2004, she sang three of the five Oscar-nominated songs at the 76th Annual Academy Awards, including one completely in French.We can't really argue why she has Grammy's under her sleeve.

3.) Speaking of talent, She wrote and produced many of Destiny's smash hits, such as "Jumpin Jumpin", "Bootylicious", "Nasty Girl", "Independent Women", "Happy Face" and "Apple Pie a la mode". We can't really question why she can go solo.

4.) Since she produced and wrote Bootylicious, I guess we all know that she got the inspiration for this song from her own body. She earned the 2nd position in In Touch Magazine countdown of top 10 "Best Bottoms In Hollywood" in August 2007.

5.) Having the best bottom, we guess it is but right to flaunt it. In September 2007, she canceled a gig in Malaysia after not wanting to cover up from shoulder down which is part of the country's rule for female performers.

6.) Speaking of concerts going wrong, Beyonce visited two fans who were mildly injured during her concert after a firework escaped to the audience seat in July 2007. She seems to have a good heart too! She teamed up with Kelly Rowland to build the "Knowles-Rowland Temenos Place Apartments" in Houston, aimed to provide permanent living accommodations for people who are trying to improve their lives after the trauma of personal and natural disasters.

7.) I guess all of these are making her popular. She ranked 7th on Yahoo's annual list of Popular Search Terms in 2006 and 5th the following year.

8.) Here is another evidence of why she is one of the popular search terms, Broke the record of becoming the first non-Hispanic star to ever make People en Espanol's "50 Most Beautiful" list (May 2007).

9.) Because of popularity, I'm sure we all know that controversy really comes with it. However, miss Knowles can overcome these. She won a copyright infringement lawsuit brought by singer-songwriter Jennifer Armour in 2005 over her Grammy winning hit "Baby Boy" (October 2006).
