Beyoncé: Pays double time for sitting through The Fighting Temptations, triple for The Pink Panther.
Subject(s):
BeyoncéApparently running interference, and errands, for pop's biggest divas is as cutthroat an endeavor as scoring choice seats for Fashion Week. Last month, the New York Daily News reported that H-town music impresario and sire of R&B royalty Mathew Knowles dismissed daughter Beyoncé's longtime bodyguard, a 400-pound hulk known only as Shortie. "Papa Knowles thinks his daughter should be protected by a younger and more buff sentry," divulged gossipmongers Rush & Malloy. Though Shortie's severance package was rather Enronesque — according to the Daily News, Knowles bought out the remainder of his $500,000 contract, plus a $100K bonus — his firing creates a golden opportunity for some lucky ex-Cougar or Longhorn out there. Do you have what it takes?
