The “Ego” singer hired new nightspot Kanaloa to party with the crew and dancers from her “I Am Sasha Fierce” World Tour when she allegedly presented club staff with the bizarre request.

“Beyonce arrived at about midnight with a massive entourage,” an insider dished to London’s The Sun over the weekend. “On her table, alongside huge treasure chest cocktails, she had a big industrial fan which remained just inches from her face to keep her hair blowing everywhere – just like it does in her ‘Crazy in Love’ video.”

Beyonce “Sex Party” Infuriates Egyptian Muslims

Beyonce is facing more backlash from Islamic groups. Just last month, Muslim leaders in Malaysia led protests against Beyonce’s sexy on-stage performance. The diva subsequently scrapped her concert in the capital, Kuala Lumpur. Now conservative Muslims in Egypt fear Beyonce’s upcoming “Sasha Fierce” show will threaten the country’s “social peace and stability.”

The superstar is due to bring her I Am… World Tour to the mostly Muslim nation this evening, but strict Islamic groups have complained to the government, branding the show an “insolent sex party” that must be stopped.

“Why are you encouraging this insolent sex party? You are accused of disturbing social peace and stability, encouraging vice and debauchery,” a representative for opposition group Muslim Brotherhood wrote in a letter to authorities.

Tom Hanks is all about the “Single Ladies.”

The Oscar-winner racked his brain when asked for his favorite tune of 2009 backstage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 25th anniversary concert on Thursday, but Tom finally settled on Beyonce’s No. 1 smash, “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It.),” MTV News reports.

“Dada-dada ring on it! Dada-dada ring on it!” Tom sang, as he struggled to remember the lyrics to Beyonce’s award-winning track. “That is a damn fine song, the Beyonce song … because it’s infectious,” the 53-year-old actor said.

“Kanye West has nothing to do with my embracing of that song,” he joked.

Tom says he likes the song because that’s what he told his wife, actress Rita Wilson, when they first met: “I’m gon’ put a ring on that finger. I’m gon’ take that thing home.”

Beyonce Leaves Cheryl Cole Starstruck

Castina — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:03:49 +0000

British singer Cheryl Cole was left completely starstruck after meeting singer-actress-superstar Beyonce Knowles-Carter.

The Girls Aloud stunner admits she acted like a starstruck fan when she was first introduced to the singer on Britain’s talent show The X Factor last year.

“I turned into a fool when I saw Beyonce, I couldn’t speak to her. I really embarrassed myself. When I saw Jay-Z the other week I did the same. I didn’t know whether it was because I’d built it up in my head, but when he approached me I started screaming Jay-Z and then turned my back on him,” Cheryl tells TheList.com.

Cheryl also revealed that if she could only listen to one artist’s music for the rest of her life, she would pick songs by Mrs. Knowles-Carter.

“I think Beyonce would fulfil everything I’d need really. I love watching massive performances with pyrotechnics and dancers, but she can also give you those tender moments. Beyonce is my favourite, but I’ve got a jukebox at my house and I put random things on. Music lifts your spirit and takes you to a good place,” she said.
