'''Mary Carey''' (born '''Mary Ellen Cook''' on June 15, [[1980]] in Cleveland, Ohio, USA) is an [[American]] [[porn star]] and [[politician]]. Her stage name comes from her passing resemblance to singer Mariah Carey.

== Early life ==

Carey moved from Ohio to Florida when she was seven, and studied ballet and dance until she was 19 years old<ref name="rogreviews">[http://www.rogreviews.com/interviews/mary_carey.asp Mary Carey Interview] at RogReviews.com</ref>. She graduated in 1998 from the Pine Crest School, a Fort Lauderdale private preparatory school. At 19, she joined her college dance team. After being part of the team for a year, she began working as an [[exotic dancer]].

On ''The Daily Show'', she revealed to correspondent Stephen Colbert that the reason she has never done a scene involving anal sex is that she has chronic gas problems and "likes to poop." She then passed gas while the camera was filming.

On ''The Howard Stern Show'', she revealed that her father has cerebral palsy and her mother has fetal alcohol syndrome.

== Porn film career ==

Shortly after becoming a sex worker, Carey entered the adult film industry as a [[featured entertainer]]. She is best known for her lesbian themed films. In addition to numerous adult movies, she has posed in adult magazines and has appeared in adult [[TV]] shows such as ''Totally Busted'' and ''Sexy Urban Legends'' on Playboy TV.

Much of her fan-base is due to her large breasts, and initially Carey claimed to have never received [[breast implants]]. Eventually, though, she [[:Category:Big-bust personalities who are open about their implants|admitted]] in her AVN ''Fresh off the Bus'' interview to having had a "boob job."<ref name="freshbus">[http://www.avninsider.com/stories/fotbmarycarey.shtml AVN Insider - Mary Carey]</ref> She does, however, continue to discourage other women from getting implants.

Carey worked for Kick Ass Pictures for nearly three years. In December 2005, she signed an exclusive 2-year, 12-video contract with the now-legally embattled and cash-strapped Legend Video.<ref name="xbiz">[http://xbiz.com/news_piece.php?id=13440 Mary Carey’s First Legend Film Debuts in March]</ref>

Since appearing on the VH-1 series ''Celebrity Rehab'', Mary has not appeared in any new adult films, as she promised during her stay at the clinic. She still feature dances, which she has discussed with Dr. Drew Pinsky, her counselor, and has a new 12 step sponsor to help with her sobriety.

== 2003 California Governor's race ==
[[Image:Mary Carey campaign 01.jpg|thumb|left|240px|[[Mary Carey]] campaigns for governor of California.]]
During the 2003 California recall election, she was an independent candidate, placing tenth in a field of 135 candidates. She ran on a ten (later expanded to eleven) point platform, promising to:

#Legalize same-sex marriage
#Tax breast implants
#Make lap-dances tax deductible
#Wire the California Governor's Mansion with live web-cams
#Create a "Porn for Pistols" program to reduce the number of handguns
#Be a goodwill ambassador to attract business to the state
#Make those drawing unemployment insurance do jury duty for their pay
#Fight the attacks on the porn industry by John Ashcroft and the U.S. Department of Justice
#Allow bars to stay open until 4:00 A.M.
#Address the AIDS epidemic
#Help the over crowded and mis-managed prison system

In April 2005, she was arrested in connection with a Lakewood, Washington cabaret sting operation. She subsequently made a plea agreement and received a 19-month sentence, which was suspended on the condition that she was not charged with any other offense within one year.

In December 2005, Mary Carey was named “2005 Bimbo of the Year” by the conservative WorldNetDaily.com<ref name="bimbo">[http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=47920 WorldNetDaily: Meet 2005's biggest bimbos]</ref>.

== Political ambitions ==

In June 2005, Carey announced her bid for Lieutenant Governor of California as an Independent in 2006. She also attended a GOP fund-raiser with the president of the company that produces her porn videos and announced that she is a Republican. Given her previous political record, however, it remains to be seen whether she (or Californians) will take her candidacy seriously. She would not be the first adult actress to win public office if her future bids are successful, as Italian porn-star Cicciolina was elected to the Italian Parliament.

Many members of the press had predicted that she might do something inappropriate at the Republican fund-raising dinner or arrive in inappropriate attire as a publicity stunt; however, she dressed formally for the occasion and did nothing inappropriate. Some, including Rev. Donald Wildmon of the American Family Association, believe that her new political affiliation with the Republican Party is an organized attempt to embarrass Republicans, by showing a porn actress in the same dining hall with President Bush. When asked if it might be less than appropriate for a porn queen to talk to the president, Carey said, "I probably have less sex with those guys than any college girl."<ref name="bimbo" />

She maintained on the FOX News Channel on the afternoon of March 16, 2006 that her porno films are not a negative to her political career, and maybe are even a positive. She implied that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Governor Reagan were helped in their political campaigns by their film careers. She also maintained that, unlike the films in which Schwarzenegger and Reagan starred, her films are about "love".

She has also said that she hopes to run for a major party (perhaps the GOP) nomination to be President of the United States, which is, of course, contingent upon her reaching the age of 35 per the minimum age requirement for United States presidents. <ref name="bushdinner">[http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=44671 WorldNetDaily: Bush dinner's porn star: I'm a praying Christian]</ref> The first election for which she would be eligible would be the 2016 presidential election.

Carey, who announced in December that she had lost weight, replaced her teeth and acquired new, size 36[[D]] breasts and on August 9, 2006, on the steps of the Los Angeles County elections office to launch her 2006 gubernatorial campaign as a write-in candidate<ref name="writein">[http://www.avn.com/index.php?Primary_Navigation=Articles&Action=View_Article&Content_ID=273897 Mary Carey Announces Campaign Strategy for Write-In Candidacy]</ref>

On October 23, 2006 she announced she was dropping out of the California governor's race to be with her ailing mother, hospitalized in Florida since jumping off a four-story building the previous month<ref name="cnn">[http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/23/porn.candidate.reut/index.html Porn star gives up candidacy to be with sick mom]</ref>.

In 2007, she replaced her breast implants, going from [[D]] to [[DDD]] and auctioning off the old D sized implants for charity.<ref>http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSN0558176620071205</ref>

'''Lindsay Dee Lohan''' (born July 2, 1986 in New York City) is an [[American]] [[actress]] and pop [[singer]].<ref name="imdb" />

She appeared topless and semi-nude in ''New York'' magazine in February 2008, in a recreation of [[Marilyn Monroe]]'s last photo shoot.

==Real or fake?==
Lindsay has claimed her breasts are all natural and have only grown smaller and larger due to extreme weight loss but there is some doubt on the parts of numerous well known plastic surgeons. The most substantial proof of her breasts being augmented is the fact that her breasts are significantly fuller at the bottom then in her more recent photos than in her early photos where there was significant look of hard encapsulation at the top. Excessive fullness and ridging at the top of the bust in earlier photos may indicate that her implants have now 'dropped' to a more natural pendulous look.

'''Lindsay Dee Lohan''' (born July 2, 1986 in New York City) is an [[American]] [[actress]] and pop [[singer]].<ref name="imdb" />

She appeared topless and semi-nude in ''New York'' magazine in February 2008, in a recreation of [[Marilyn Monroe]]'s last photo shoot.

==Real or fake?==
Lindsay has claimed her breasts are all natural and have only grown smaller and larger due to extreme weight loss but there is some doubt on the parts of numerous well known plastic surgeons. The most substantial proof of her breasts being augmented is the fact that her breasts are significantly fuller at the bottom then in her more recent photos than in her early photos where there was significant look of hard encapsulation at the top. Excessive fullness and ridging at the top of the bust in earlier photos may indicate that her implants have now 'dropped' to a more natural pendulous look.

'''Tsunade''' (綱手, Tsunade) is a Fictional Character in the Anime and Manga Series Naruto.

== Character Information ==
Tsunade, as well as her former teammates Jiraiya and Orochimaru, is a former student of the Third Hokage. She is also the granddaughter of the First Hokage and grand niece to the Second Hokage, and so many characters in the series refer to her with the Japanese honorific "hime" (meaning "princess"). Despite her connections to past Hokage, Tsunade hates the position when she is first introduced. After her brother and boyfriend died in pursuit of their dreams to become Hokage, she lost faith in the title and the concept of dreams. She regains her faith in both after meeting Naruto Uzumaki, who consistently overcomes any obstacle in his own dreams of being Hokage. As a result, Tsunade accepts the position of Fifth Hokage (五代目火影, Godaime Hokage?) to protect Konohagakure. Despite the importance of her position, Tsunade tends to avoid her duties, instead leaving them for her assistants. She will fulfill her role to address matters important to the village, and throughout Part II leads Konoha in combating Akatsuki.

Tsunade possesses a number of traits that set her apart from other characters in the series, such as being a compulsive gambler with terrible luck. On the rare occasions that she hits a winning streak she perceives it as a bad omen, and makes it a point to fortify her defenses or assist her allies when it occurs. Additionally, although she is in her fifties, she constantly assumes the appearance of a twenty-year-old woman, retaining only her characteristically big breasts. Despite her odd personality Tsunade is a talented ninja; she has superhuman strength that allows her to reduce buildings to rubble and can heal injuries that most others would consider incurable. Her healing abilities are such that she has devised a method of regeneration for herself, making her all but invincible in battle. At the conclusion of Part I, Tsunade takes Sakura Haruno as an apprentice, teaching her how to use both of her trademark abilities. In the Japanese anime, Tsunade's seiyū is Masako Katsuki, and her English voice actor is Debi Mae West.

'''Michelle Thomas''' (born [[September 23]], [[1969]] – [[December 22]], [[1998]]) was an actress who is best known for her roles as Myra Monkhouse, the girlfriend of Steve Urkel, on the American sitcom Family Matters from [[1993]] to [[1998]] and Justine Phillips, girlfriend of Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show. Additionally, in 1984 Thomas was crowned Hal Jackson's Talented Teens Miss New Jersey and Miss International.

== Biography ==
Thomas was born in Boston, Massachusetts, but grew up in New York City, where she attended the Montclair School of the Arts and the Broadway Dance Center. Her mother was Phynjuar Thomas, a stage performer, and her father was Dennis Thomas, a founding member of the band Kool & the Gang. Thomas grew up in Montclair, New Jersey, and is an alumna of West Essex High School.<ref>Pace, Eric. [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B03E7D8173FF93BA15751C1A96E958260 "Michelle Thomas, 30, Actress On TV Soap Opera and Sitcoms"], ''The New York Times'', [[December 28]], [[1998]]. Accessed October 3, [[2007]]. "She was born in Boston, Mass., grew up in Montclair, N.J., and graduated from West Essex High School in North Caldwell, N.J."</ref> Although she had many talents, Thomas's first love was music. With both parents in the entertainment industry it was only natural that she would develop her own performing skills at a young age.

In addition to music, she studied jazz, modern and hip-hop dance at the Broadway Dance Center in New York. While attending an all-girls private school in New Jersey, she was crowned Miss Talented Teen New Jersey in Hal Jackson's Talented Teen Competition, a contest based on talent and academics. She went on to compete in the international pageant in Jamaica and was crowned International Queen in 1985.

== Career ==
At the age of 16, Thomas was offered a recording contract, but decided to move to Los Angeles and focus on her acting career. She landed a national commercial on her very first audition.

She appeared in a variety of television programs during the 1990s including The Cosby Show, Roseanne and The Young and the Restless (for which she was nominated for NAACP Award as outstanding African American actress in a daytime television program). In her spare time, Thomas performed with The Groundlings Theatre group.

In [[August 1997]], Thomas was diagnosed with intra-abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor, a rare soft tissue sarcoma. Thomas initially refused the treatment for she was afraid that it would interfere with her chances of conceiving children. Though she died before she could have any children, she had agreed to treatment after her illness was deemed terminal.

During the last season of Family Matters, her cancer grew worse, making it harder for her to do her scenes. Her screen time grew shorter and shorter, before she had to leave the show for good in 1998 shortly before it was canceled. On [[December 22]], [[1998]], Thomas died in New York City at the age of 29. Her former boyfriend, actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, was at her side.

Michelle also starred in Dru Hill's video Never Make a Promise and Mint Condition's "What Kind of Man Would I Be". She also made a brief appearance on the movie Hanging with the Homeboys.<ref>[http://www.kellie.de/michellethomas.htm Michelle Thomas biography]</ref>

'''Beyoncé Giselle Knowles''' (born September 4, [[1981]]),[1] commonly known as Beyoncé (pronounced /biːˈɑn.seɪ/), is an American R&B [[singer]], songwriter, record producer, and [[actress]]. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, she enrolled in various performing arts schools, and was first exposed to singing and dancing competitions as a child. Knowles rose to fame in the late 1990s as the lead singer of girl group Destiny's Child and went on to sell over 50 million records worldwide with the group.[2][3][4]

After a series of commercial successes with the group, Knowles released her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love, in June 2003. The album became one of the most-successful albums of that year, spawning the number-one singles "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy". It earned Knowles five Grammy Awards in a single night in 2004, and its reception signaled her viability as a solo artist. The disbandment of Destiny's Child in 2005 facilitated her continued success; she released her second album, B'Day, in 2006, which contained the UK number-one singles "Déjà Vu" and "Beautiful Liar", which she performed with [[Shakira]], and the worldwide hit "Irreplaceable". Knowles released her third solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, on November 18, 2008.

The success of her solo albums has established Knowles as one of the most marketable artists in the industry, and she has expanded her career to acting and product endorsement. In 2006, she starred in the comedy film The Pink Panther, and, in the same year, played the lead role in the film adaptation of the 1981 Broadway musical Dreamgirls, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination. Knowles launched her family's fashion line, House of Deréon, in 2004, and has been engaged to endorse such brands as Pepsi, Tommy Hilfiger, and L'Oréal. Knowles has been with husband Jay-Z since 2002, though they have been discreet about their relationship. After much speculation, they married on April 4, 2008. Knowles has sold more than 75 million albums throughout her career, counting her album sales with Destiny's Child.[5] She was the second highest paid musician between June 2007 and June 2008, with earnings of US$80 million (UK£53 million).

== Early life and career beginnings ==
Knowles was born in Houston, Texas, the daughter of Mathew Knowles, a successful record manager, and [[Tina Beyincé]], a costume designer and hair stylist. Knowles' father is African American and her mother is of Creole (African-American, Native American, and French) descent.[6] Knowles was baptized after her mother's maiden name, as a tribute to her mother and to prevent the name from becoming obsolete, since only a few of the Beyincé males carry the name.[7][8] Her maternal grandparents, Lumis Albert Beyincé and Agnéz Deréon, were French-speaking Louisiana Creoles.[8] She is the elder sister of Solange, a singer-songwriter and actress.

Knowles was schooled at St. Mary's Elementary School in Texas, where she enrolled in dance classes, including ballet and jazz. Her talent in singing was discovered when her dance instructor began humming a song and she finished it, hitting the high-pitched notes.[7] Although a shy girl, as her mother considered her, Knowles' interest in music and performing began unexpectedly after joining in a school talent show. Once she had a moment on the stage, she overcame her shyness and wanted to become a singer and performer.[9] By age seven, Knowles had entered her first talent show, singing John Lennon's "Imagine". She won the contest and was honored with a standing ovation.[10][11]

In the fall of 1990, Knowles enrolled in Parker Elementary School, a music magnet school in Houston, where she would perform onstage with the school's choir.[7] She also attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston[12] and later went to Alief Elsik High School, located in the Houston neighborhood of Alief.[8][13] Knowles was a soloist in the choir of her church, in St. John's United Methodist Church.[7] She only lasted in the choir for two years, however, because she was preoccupied with her newfound career.[14]

At the age of eight, Knowles met LaTavia Roberson while in an audition for a girl group.[15] They, along with Knowles' friend Kelly Rowland, were placed into a group that performed rapping and dancing. Originally named Girl's Tyme,[10] they were eventually cut down to six members.[7] With Knowles and Rowland, Girl's Tyme attracted audience nationally. West coast R&B producer, Arne Frager, flew into Houston to see them. He eventually brought them to his studio - The Plant Recording Studios - in Northern California, with Knowles' vocals being featured because Frager thought she had personality and the ability to sing.[7] As part of efforts to sign Girl's Tyme to a major label record deal, Frager's strategy was to debut them in Star Search,[9] the biggest talent show on national TV that time.[7] They participated, but lost the competition because the song they performed was not good, as Knowles herself admitted.[16][17] Knowles had her first "professional setback" after that defeat, but regained confidence after learning that pop stars Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake had also experienced the same fate.[7]

To manage the group, Knowles' father (who was at that time a medical-equipment salesman) resigned in 1995 from his job.[18] He dedicated his time and established a "boot camp" for their training.[9] The move reduced Knowles' family's income by half and her parents separated because of the pressure.[8] Not long after the inclusion of Rowland, Mathew cut the original lineup to four,[7] with LeToya Luckett joining in 1993.[15] Rehearsing in Tina's salon and their backyards, the group continued performing as an opening act for other established R&B girl groups of the time;[15] Tina contributed to the cause by designing their costumes, which she continued to do throughout the Destiny's Child era. With the continued support of Mathew, they auditioned before record labels and were finally signed to Elektra Records, only to be dropped months later before they could release an album.[8]

== Recording and film career ==

=== Destiny's Child's era ===
Taking inspiration from a passage in the Book of Isaiah, the group changed its name to Destiny's Child in 1993.[15] Together, they performed in local events and, after four years on the road, the group was signed to Columbia Records in late 1997. That same year, Destiny's Child recorded its major label debut song, "Killing Time", for the soundtrack to the 1997 film, Men in Black.[15][17]

The following year, the group released its self-titled debut album,[16] scoring their first major hit "No, No, No". That album established the group as a viable act in the music industry, amassing moderate sales and winning the group three Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards for "Best R&B/Soul Single" for "No, No, No", "Best R&B/Soul Album of the Year" and "Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist".[15] However, the group rose to bona fide stardom after releasing their multi-platinum sophomore album The Writing's on the Wall in 1999. The record features some of the group's most widely known songs such as "Bills, Bills, Bills", the group's first number-one single, Jumpin' Jumpin'", and "Say My Name", which became their most-successful song at the time, and would remain one of their signature songs. "Say My Name" won the Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and the Best R&B Song at the 2001 Grammy Awards.[15] The Writing's on the Wall sold more than seven million copies,[16] essentially becoming their breakthrough album.[19][20]

Along with their commercial successes, the group became entangled in much-publicized turmoil involving the filing of a lawsuit by Luckett and Roberson for breach of contract. The issue was heightened after Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin appeared on the video of "Say My Name", implying that Luckett and Roberson had already been replaced.[15] Eventually, Luckett and Roberson left the group. Franklin would eventually fade from the group after five months,[16] as evidenced by her absences during promotional appearances and concerts. She attributed her departure to negative vibes in the group resulting from the strife.[15]

After settling on their final lineup, the trio recorded "Independent Women Part I", which appeared on the soundtrack to the 2000 film, Charlie's Angels. It became their best-charting single, topping the official U.S. singles chart for eleven consecutive weeks.[19][15] The success cemented the new lineup and skyrocketed them to fame.[10] Later that year, Luckett and Roberson withdrew their case against their now-former band mates, while maintaining the suit against Mathew, which ended in both sides agreeing to stop public disparaging.[15] Destiny's Child's third album, Survivor, channels the turmoil they underwent, spawning its eponymous lead single, which was a response to the experience.[21] The themes of "Survivor", however, caused Luckett and Roberson to refile their lawsuit, believing that the songs were aimed at them.[15] However, the proceedings were eventually settled in June 2002.[20] Meanwhile, the album was released in May 2001, debuting at number one on U.S. Billboard 200 with 663,000 units sold.[22] To date, Survivor has sold over ten million copies worldwide, over forty percent of which were sold in the U.S. alone.[23] The album spawned other number-one hits—"Bootylicious" and the title track, "Survivor", the latter of which earned the group a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. After releasing their holiday album, 8 Days of Christmas, the group announced their temporary break-up to pursue solo projects.[15]

=== Solo and career development ===
While Knowles was with Destiny's Child, she also made appearances as a solo artist. In 2000, Knowles was featured on "I Got That" by rapper Amil, which was released on the latter's debut album, All Money Is Legal. In early 2001, while Destiny's Child was finishing Survivor, Knowles landed a major role in the MTV made-for-television film, Carmen: A Hip Hopera, starring alongside American actor Mekhi Phifer. Set in Philadelphia, the film is a modern interpretation of the 19th century opera Carmen by French composer Georges Bizet.[24]

In 2002, Knowles co-starred in the comedy film Austin Powers in Goldmember, playing Foxxy Cleopatra opposite Mike Myers.[25] The movie topped the box office, gaining $73.1 million on its first weekend.[10] Knowles recorded her first solo single, "Work It Out", for the film's soundtrack.[26] The following year, Knowles starred opposite Cuba Gooding, Jr. in the romantic comedy film The Fighting Temptations, and recorded "Fighting Temptation", alongside female rappers Missy Elliott, MC Lyte, and Free for its soundtrack.[27][28]

That same year, Knowles was the featured vocalist on her boyfriend Jay-Z's hit single "'03 Bonnie & Clyde".[10] She also recorded a version of 50 Cent's "In Da Club" and released it in March 2003.[29] Luther Vandross and Knowles remade the duet "The Closer I Get to You", which was originally recorded by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway in 1977.[30] Their version won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals the following year, and Vandross' "Dance with My Father", which also features Knowles, won for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.[31][32]

=== Dangerously in Love (2003) ===
After Williams and Rowland released their solo efforts, Knowles released her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love, in June 2003.[30] Featuring many musical collaborators, the album contains a combination of uptempo and slow jam songs. The album debuted on the Billboard 200 at number one, selling 317,000 copies in its first week.[22] Certified 4x platinum on August 5, 2004 by the Recording Industry Association of America,[33] the album has sold 4.2 million copies to date in the United States.[34]

"Crazy in Love", featuring a guest rap verse from Jay-Z, was released as the album's lead single. It became one of the biggest hits of that summer, staying at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for eight consecutive weeks[35] and topping many charts worldwide. Knowles also successfully dominated the United Kingdom, simultaneously topping the singles and album charts there.[36][37] "Crazy in Love" became the fourth best-selling single in the U.S. in 2003.[38] "Crazy in Love" was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America[33] and considered to be the "proudest moment" of the album.[39]

Toward the end of the summer, "Baby Boy", the second single from Dangerously in Love which features dancehall singer Sean Paul, began to climb the charts. It also became one of the biggest hits of 2003, dominating U.S. radio airplay and spending nine weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100—one week longer than "Crazy in Love".[40][41] "Baby Boy" was certified as a platinum single by the Recording Industry Association of America.[33] "Me, Myself and I" was released as the third single, and Dangerously in Love's fourth and final single, "Naughty Girl", came out in mid-2004. Both of the final two singles made the top five of the Billboard Hot 100.[42] Unlike "Crazy in Love", the final three singles attained more immediate commercial successes, propelling the album to the top of the charts and going a long way toward it being certified multi-platinum.[43]

Knowles won five awards at the 2004 Grammy Awards for her solo effort, which included the Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "Dangerously in Love 2", Best R&B Song for "Crazy in Love", and the Best Contemporary R&B Album. She shares this distinction with four other female artists: Lauryn Hill (1999), Alicia Keys (2002) Norah Jones (2003) and Amy Winehouse (2008).[19][44] In 2004, she won a BRIT Award for International Female Solo Artist.[45]

=== Destiny Fulfilled (2004) and Group Hiatus ===
In 2004, Knowles planned to release a follow-up album featuring some of the left-over recordings from Dangerously in Love. However, her musical aspirations were put on hiatus due to conflicting schedules, including her recording with Destiny's Child for their final album.[46] Early in that year, Knowles performed the U.S. national anthem at Super Bowl XXXVIII at Reliant Stadium in Houston, fulfilling a childhood dream.[47]

After a three-year journey that involved concentration on individual solo projects, Knowles rejoined Rowland and Williams for Destiny Fulfilled, released in November 2004.[15] The album hit number two on the Billboard 200, and spawned "Lose My Breath", "Soldier", "Girl", and "Cater 2 U" as notable mainstream records.[48] In support of the album, Destiny's Child embarked on the 2005 Destiny Fulfilled ... And Lovin' It world tour, which started in April and ran through September. On the Barcelona, Spain visit, the group announced their disbandment after the end of their final North American leg.[49][15] In October 2005, the group released a compilation album, entitled #1's, including all of Destiny's Child's number-one hits and most of their well-known songs. The greatest hits collection also includes three new tracks, including "Stand Up for Love". Destiny's Child was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in March 2006.[47] They were also recognized as the world's best-selling female group of all time.[50][51]

Continuing her film career, Knowles co-starred in the film The Pink Panther, playing the role of Xania, an international pop star, opposite Steve Martin, who plays Inspector Clouseau.[52][53] The film was released on February 10, 2006, and debuted at number one at the box office, doing $21.7 million in ticket sales in its first week.[10] Knowles recorded "Check on It" for the film, featuring Slim Thug, and reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.[52]

In late 2005, Knowles again put her second album on hold after she landed a role in Dreamgirls, the film adaptation of the 1981 hit Broadway musical about a 1960s singing group loosely based on Motown all-female group The Supremes. In the film, she portrays the Diana Ross-based character Deena Jones.[54][52] Knowles told Billboard magazine: "I'm not going to write for the album until I finish doing the movie."[34] Released in December 2006, Dreamgirls stars Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, and Jennifer Hudson. Knowles recorded several songs for the film's soundtrack, including the original song "Listen".[55] On December 14, 2006, Knowles was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards for the film, Best Actress - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and Best Original Song for "Listen".[56] The film won two 2007 Academy Awards.[57]

=== B'Day (2006) ===
Inspired by her role in Dreamgirls, Knowles worked on her second album without any specific plan, telling MTV News, "[When filming ended] I had so many things bottled up, so many emotions, so many ideas".[58] Knowles worked with previous musical collaborators, including Rich Harrison, Rodney Jerkins and Sean Garrett, at the Sony Music Studios in New York City. Completed in three weeks, she co-wrote and co-produced nearly all songs included in the album.[59]

B'Day was released worldwide on September 4, 2006 and on September 5, 2006 in the United States to coincide with the celebration of her twenty-fifth birthday. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling more than 541,000 copies in the first week, her highest first-week sales mark as a solo artist.[60] The album also had the third-highest debut-sales total of 2006[61] and has been certified three-times platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America.[33] Although it was a commercial success, the relatively short time for production of the album was the subject of critical scrutiny. The Rolling Stone magazine's Brian Hiatt said that "while the mostly up-tempo disc never lacks for energy, some of the more beat-driven tracks feel harmonically and melodically undercooked, with hooks that don't live up to 'Crazy in Love' or the best Destiny's Child hits."[62] Despite such criticisms, the album was complimented by others, with Gail Mitchell of Billboard magazine writing, "... throughout [the album], she romps with creative abandon, thankfully unafraid of stretching the boundaries lyrically and musically."[63]

The album spawned the UK number-one single "Déjà Vu", the album's lead single, featuring Jay-Z. "Ring the Alarm", the second single, became her highest-charting single debut, opening at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100.[64] Outside North America, "Irreplaceable" was released in October 2006 as the album's second single. Like "Baby Boy", the single received massive airplay, which helped propel it at number one.[65] "Irreplaceable" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for ten consecutive weeks, giving Knowles her fourth number-one single.[66] It broke the record "Baby Boy" previously held (nine consecutive weeks), but it failed to match Destiny's Child's "Independent Women Part I".[67]

Knowles re-released B'Day on April 3, 2007 as a deluxe edition, seven months after the release of the original version.[68] The re-release version features new tracks, including "Beautiful Liar", a duet with Latin superstar Shakira. The track made Billboard history when it jumped from number ninety-four to number three on the Hot 100 on April 2007;[69] and "Amor Gitano", a duet with Mexican singer Alejandro Fernández, used as the theme song for the Colombian telenovela, Zorro: La Espada y la Rosa. Also included in the re-release of B'Day are Spanish-language versions of "Beautiful Liar", "Irreplaceable", and "Listen".[70] Simultaneously, the B'Day Anthology Video Album was released featuring ten videos, including the director's cut of "Listen" and the extended remix of "Get Me Bodied".[71][70] During the week of April 22, the deluxe edition of B'Day and the B'Day Anthology Video Album that includes the song "Still in Love (Kissing You)" were pulled from distribution due to a lawsuit filed by English singer Des'ree.[72][73] The lawsuit is over Knowles' cover of Des'ree's 1998 record, "I'm Kissing You". After the infringement issue, the present version of the re-issue does not include the track.

At the 2007 Grammy Awards, Knowles won in one of the five categories in which she was nominated, that being Best Contemporary R&B Album.[74] The following year, she earned three nominations: Record of the Year for "Irreplaceable", Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for "Beautiful Liar" with Shakira, as well as Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for the Dreamgirls soundtrack.[75] Knowles made history at the 35th Annual American Music Awards for being the first woman to win an International Artist Award.[47]

In support of the album, Knowles embarked on her lengthy The Beyoncé Experience concert tour, visiting over ninety venues worldwide. She started the tour in Japan on April 10, 2007 and concluded it on December 30, 2007 in Las Vegas. The documented footage on September 2, 2007 at Los Angeles' Staples Center was released on November 20, 2007 as The Beyoncé Experience Live! DVD.[76]

== I Am… Sasha Fierce (2008) ==
Knowles reportedly started working on her third studio album in December of 2007. The album is titled I Am… Sasha Fierce[77] Knowles says that the name Sasha Fierce is the name of the persona she adopts when she performs onstage.[78] "That is my alter ego and now she has a last name," says Knowles.[78] "I have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work and when I'm on stage, this alter ego that I've created that kind of protects me and who I really am."[78] In an interview with producer Rodney Jerkins, he said that the style of the album kept switching and was inspired by Knowles' upcoming film, Cadillac Records,[79] in which Knowles had been cast to play famed blues singer Etta James, he also mentioned that the release date she was working at for the album was November 2008.[80]

Knowles recorded a cover of Billy Joel's "Honesty" which was included on a Matthew Knowles/Music World CD released only in Japan towards the end of June 2008 to celebrate the tenth-year anniversary of Destiny's Child. Knowles also recorded with various artist for "Just Stand Up!", a charity single for the "Stand Up To Cancer" charity. This charity aims to raise funds for cancer research through the acts and offerings of the celebrity world. Joining Knowles on this charity single was Mariah Carey, Natasha Bedingfield, Leona Lewis, Rihanna, Leann Rimes and Mary J. Blige. The song was brought to public attention recently when it was performed live by most of the stars at Fashion Rocks 2008 in New York City—this show was broadcast simultaneously on all major American networks on September 5, 2008.

"If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", the first singles from I Am… Sasha Fierce, were released to radio on October 14, 2008, preceding the album's release on November 18, 2008.[81][82] In addition to releasing a new album and continuing her growing film career with the upcoming release of Cadillac Records, Knowles will also star opposite Ali Larter and Idris Elba in a thriller film called Obsessed, which has been in production since May 2008.[83] This film is due in the United States in January 2009, with an international release slated in March 2009.

Knowles is expected to tour during most of 2009, starting in the Spring and visiting venues all over the world from the America's, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania. Knowles will also include a week long stint of shows in Las Vegas.

== Other ventures ==
=== House of Deréon ===
Knowles and her mother introduced House of Deréon, a ready-to-wear contemporary women's fashion line, in 2005. The concept is inspired by three generations of women in their family, with the name Deréon paying tribute to Knowles' grandmother, Agnèz Deréon, who worked as seamstress.[84][85] According to Tina Knowles, the overall style of the line best reflects Knowles' taste and style.[86] Launched in 2006, products of House of Deréon received public exhibitions during the group's shows and tours during Destiny Fulfilled.[87][88][85] The store, which is available across the United States and Canada, sells sportswear, denim along with fur, outerwear and accessories that include handbags and footwear.[85] They also include footwear, which Knowles teamed up with House of Brands, a local shoe company.[89] In 2004, Knowles and her mother founded their family's company Beyond Productions, which provides the licensing and brand management for House of Deréon.[90] In early 2008, they launched Beyoncé Fashion Diva, a mobile game with an online social networking component, featuring House of Deréon.[90]

The animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has criticized Knowles for wearing and using fur in her clothing line.[8] The organization have sent letters to her, pleading to stop using fur in her clothing line. In one incident, PETA set up a dinner with her and fans, who were actually a connivance from the organization. Knowles was confronted with PETA representatives, with whom the latter was escorted out after Tina Knowles came in. The incident generated mixed responses; Knowles did not respond to the issues, although her father was reportedly fighting back.[91]

=== Products and endorsements ===
Knowles signed with Pepsi in 2002 for a promotional deal,[92] which included appearances on TV commercials, as well as radio and Internet advertisements. She was included by the company as endorser to help accomplish wider demographic coverage.[93] A 2004 Pepsi TV commercial in the theme of "Gladiators" featured Knowles and singers Britney Spears, Pink, and Enrique Iglesias,[94] and the following year with Jennifer Lopez and David Beckham entitled "Samurai".[95]

Knowles' range of commercial deals and products also includes beauty care products and perfumes. She signed with cosmetics company L'Oréal in 2003, earning her about $1 million.[96] She launched her own fragrance called True Star, a Tommy Hilfiger scent, in 2004. As part of her contributions to the product, Knowles sang a cover version of "Wishing on a Star" for the True Star commercials, for which she earned $250,000.[97] She also launched Hilfiger's True Star Gold in 2005 and Emporio Armani's Diamonds in 2007.[98] Forbes magazine reported that Knowles earned $80 million between June 2007 and June 2008, combined with her album, tour, fashion business, and promotional deals. It made her the world's second best-paid music personality for this span of time.[99]

=== Philanthropy ===
Knowles has been exposed to issues of social awareness since a young child, as her father would sometimes take her into the community, including African-American society.[7] Knowles and Rowland, along with the former's family, founded the Survivor Foundation, a charitable entity set up to provide transitional housing for 2005 Hurricane Katrina victims and storm evacuees in the Houston, Texas area.[8] The Survivor Foundation extended the philanthropic mission of the Knowles-Rowland Center for Youth, a multi-purpose community outreach facility in downtown Houston.[8]

In 2005, music producer David Foster, his daughter Amy Foster-Gillies, and Knowles wrote "Stand Up for Love," which would serve as the anthem of World Children's Day, an event which takes place annually around the world on November 20 to raise awareness and funds for children's causes worldwide. Destiny's Child lent their voices and support as global ambassadors for the 2005 World Children's Day program.[100][8]

Knowles conducted food drives during stops on The Beyoncé Experience tour in Houston on July 14, Atlanta on July 20, Washington, D.C. on August 9, Toronto on August 15, Chicago on August 18, and Los Angeles on September 2, 2006.[101] On October 4, 2008, Knowles attended the Miami Children's Hospital Diamond Ball & Private Concert at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, where she was inducted into the International Pediatric Hall of Fame. Ethan Bortnick, the seven-year old musical sensation, dedicated and performed "Over the Rainbow" to Knowles.[102]

== Personal life ==
Since 2002, Knowles has been in a relationship with rapper Jay-Z, with whom she has collaborated several times. Rumors began to circulate about their relationship after Knowles was featured on "'03 Bonnie and Clyde".[10] In spite of persistent rumors about their relationship, they remained discreet about it.[103][104] In 2005, rumors began to spread about the marriage of the couple. Knowles closed the speculation stating that she and Jay-Z were not even engaged.[105] When asked again about the subject in September 2007, Jay-Z replied, "One day soon—let's leave it at that."[106] Laura Schreffler, senior writer for OK! magazine, said, "They are intensely private people".[107]

On April 4, 2008, Knowles and Jay-Z were married in New York City. It became a matter of public record on April 22, 2008,[108] but Knowles did not publicly debut her wedding ring until the Fashion Rocks concert on September 5, 2008 in New York City.[109] Knowles finally revealed their marriage during an opening montage video at the listening party for I Am... Sasha Fierce in Manhattan's Sony Club.[110]

== Style and image ==

=== Music and voice ===
Knowles has cited various classic artists who influenced her music. She grew up listening to songs of Anita Baker and Luther Vandross, the latter whom she eventually collaborated with. She was exposed to the jazz music of Rachelle Ferrell, after singing the Ferrell's songs during her voice lessons.[111] She also cites influences from American artists Prince, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson,Selena, Mariah Carey Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Diana Ross, Donna Summer and Tina Turner,[112] with whom the former and latter she co-performed during the 46th Grammy Awards and the 50th Grammy Awards.

Knowles, a mezzo-soprano, has always been identified as the centerpiece of Destiny's Child. Jon Pareles of The New York Times commented that she has the voice that defines the group.[115] James Anthony of The Guardian called her voice distinctive and fast, with almost hiccuping vocal technique.[20] Andrew Leahey of Allmusic called her siren-voiced,[116] while The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that she has a "husky" and "Southern-accented" voice.[117] The Cove magazine ranked Knowles as their seventh among one hundred outstanding pop vocalists worldwide, giving her forty-eight out of fifty points based on several criteria ranging from her vocal ability to ranges to harmony.[118]

Knowles' music is predominantly considered contemporary R&B, but has also included genres of dance-pop, funk, pop and soul. While she almost exclusively releases English songs, Knowles did record several Spanish records for the re-release of B'Day. Destiny's Child had already recorded a Spanish song and received favorable responses from their Latin fans. Knowles took Spanish in school when she was young, but can now only speak a few words of the language. Prior to recording the Spanish titles on the re-released version of B'Day, she was coached phonetically by American record producer Rudy Perez.[71] She sang in French once at the Oscars, having also learned it through coaching.[119]

=== Songwriting and producing ===
Since Destiny's Child, Knowles has been artistically involved in her career.[15] She co-wrote most of the songs recorded by the group, as well as her solo efforts. Known for writing personally driven and female-empowerment themed compositions, she has stated that having Jay-Z in her life has changed a few of her thoughts about how men and women relate to one another .[120] Some of her songs are autobiographical, which she has admitted are taken from personal experiences, as well as her friends'.[121]

Knowles has co-produced most of the records in which she has been involved, especially during her solo efforts. Although she does not formulate beats and melodies herself, she typically comes up with ideas during production, sharing them with producers.[122]

Knowles was recognized as a song-writer during the run of Destiny's Child in the 1990s and early to mid-2000s. She won the Songwriter of the Year award at the 2001 American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers Pop Music Awards,[19] becoming the first African-American female and second overall female songwriter of all time to accomplish that feat.[8][121] Knowles received three song-writing credits in a single year for co-writing "Irreplaceable", "Grillz" and "Check on It", the only woman to achieve since Carole King in 1971 and Mariah Carey in 1991. In terms of credits, she is tied with Diane Warren at third with nine number-one singles.[123]

Despite her songwriter credits since Destiny's Child, her involvement was a subject of media scrutiny. An issue of Vanity Fair magazine, which happened to feature Knowles on its cover, fueled issues regarding her song-writing credits. In the magazine, she says, "I had written ... seven, eight number one songs with Destiny's Child, in a row."[124] Roger Friedman of FOX News questioned the veracity of her statement. One argument of Friedman involved the credit given to Knowles on her hit "Crazy in Love". He pointed out that the song was written by Eugene Record of the Chi-Lites and was only sampled by Rich Harrison, who produced the track.[124] In a 2004 MTV news report, it was stated, "... Harrison stepped up and wrote the verses and the hook, leaving the bridge for Beyoncé."[125] Friedman also cited songs from Destiny's Child and her solo recordings in his arguments. Another issue spread after Knowles' name was discredited for a nomination given to "Listen" at the 2007 Academy Awards. The Academy's ruling explained that only three major contributors should be recognized during the awards process, and Knowles was the least among the four.[126]

When the song, "If I Were a Boy" initially premiered, Fox News ran a story stating that Toby Gad stole the song from unknown artist, BC Jean after a failed agreement. The articles continues to state that Jean was unaware that Knowles recorded the track. Neither Jean nor Gab have released statements concerning this matter.[127]

Also appearing here is her all-female tour band, Suga Mama.In an article entitled "Born to Entertain", Knowles, alongside classic and contemporary entertainers, was complimented for her stage performances.[128] Amidst notable appearances, however, Knowles often receives criticisms. Pareles says, "Beyoncé can't keep up with the complex rhythms; onstage, she kept falling behind."[115] Her performance at the former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant's tomb on July 4, 2003 was cited as lasciviously choreographed; Grant's descendants in attendance had mixed reaction to it.[129]

In 2006, Knowles introduced her all-female tour band Suga Mama. In the months prior to the release of B'Day, she held an audition among female musicians across the United States, which concluded in June.[130] The performing ensemble includes bassists, drummers, guitarists, horn players, keyboardists and percussionists.[131] They debuted in public at the 2006 BET Awards and they re-appeared in the music video for "Irreplaceable" and "Green Light".[71] The band backed up Knowles during her 2007 The Beyoncé Experience world concert tour, and, in addition, they have appeared in small shows wherever Knowles has performed.

Knowles has become a sex symbol, known in media for her curvaceous body that is complemented with her choice of clothing[132].[133] According to her, "I like to dress sexy and I carry myself like a lady," but she has said that the way she dresses on stage is "absolutely for the stage".[134] As someone who is fond of fashion, Knowles combines its artistic elements with her music videos and performances. According to Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, she uses different styles and tries to harmonize it with the music while performing.[135] The B'Day Anthology Video Album showed many instances of fashion-oriented footage, depicting classic to contemporary wardrobe styles.[136] People magazine recognized Knowles as the best-dressed celebrity in 2007.[137] Knowles' mother wrote a 2002-published book, titled Destiny's Style: Bootylicious Fashion, Beauty and Lifestyle Secrets From Destiny's Child, an account of how fashion had an impact on Destiny's Child's success.[138]

Knowles holds the distinction as the first non model and non athlete to pose for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.Despite all her accomplishments, Knowles has been a source of rumors and a subject of public ridicule throughout her career. As one of the most media-exposed black artists in the United States, Knowles has often received criticism due to racism and sexism.[139] A fan of hers points out, "[Knowles] portrays herself as a sex symbol rather than an artist."[140] Toure of the Rolling Stone stated that since the release of Dangerously in Love, "[Beyoncé] has become a crossover sex symbol a la [[Halle Berry]] ..."[141] Her appearance in Vanity Fair magazine has also provoked speculations that her skin tone was digitally altered.[11]

In 2007, Knowles was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, the first non-model and non-athlete woman to pose on the issue and the second African American model after [[Tyra Banks]].[47] In the same year, Knowles appeared on billboards and newspapers across the United States showing her holding an antiquated cigarette holder. Taken from the back cover of B'Day, the image provoked response from an anti-smoking group, stating that she did not need to add the cigarette holder "to make herself appear more sophisticated".[142]

== Influence ==
Knowles has influenced various contemporary artists. Pop singer Rihanna has been compared to her when the columnist for The Guardian Amina Taylor called her "Bajan Beyoncé",[143] pop-R&B . The Canadian singer of the same genre, Keshia Chanté, had also an influence from Knowles.[144] In addition, American Idol winner Jordin Sparks' first single, "Tattoo", and debut album have been described as very "Beyoncé-ish";[145] some critics said that "Tattoo" might be "a blatant rip-off" off Knowles' hit single "Irreplaceable".[146]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic found American pop singer Katharine McPhee's songs on her debut album of the same name to have heavy influences from Knowles' music.[147] Rowland was inspired by Knowles’ voice while recording the former's second album, Ms. Kelly.[148]

'''Beyoncé Giselle Knowles''' (born September 4, [[1981]]),[1] commonly known as Beyoncé (pronounced /biːˈɑn.seɪ/), is an American R&B [[singer]], songwriter, record producer, and [[actress]]. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, she enrolled in various performing arts schools, and was first exposed to singing and dancing competitions as a child. Knowles rose to fame in the late 1990s as the lead singer of girl group Destiny's Child and went on to sell over 50 million records worldwide with the group.[2][3][4]

After a series of commercial successes with the group, Knowles released her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love, in June 2003. The album became one of the most-successful albums of that year, spawning the number-one singles "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy". It earned Knowles five Grammy Awards in a single night in 2004, and its reception signaled her viability as a solo artist. The disbandment of Destiny's Child in 2005 facilitated her continued success; she released her second album, B'Day, in 2006, which contained the UK number-one singles "Déjà Vu" and "Beautiful Liar", which she performed with [[Shakira]], and the worldwide hit "Irreplaceable". Knowles released her third solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, on November 18, 2008.

The success of her solo albums has established Knowles as one of the most marketable artists in the industry, and she has expanded her career to acting and product endorsement. In 2006, she starred in the comedy film The Pink Panther, and, in the same year, played the lead role in the film adaptation of the 1981 Broadway musical Dreamgirls, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination. Knowles launched her family's fashion line, House of Deréon, in 2004, and has been engaged to endorse such brands as Pepsi, Tommy Hilfiger, and L'Oréal. Knowles has been with husband Jay-Z since 2002, though they have been discreet about their relationship. After much speculation, they married on April 4, 2008. Knowles has sold more than 75 million albums throughout her career, counting her album sales with Destiny's Child.[5] She was the second highest paid musician between June 2007 and June 2008, with earnings of US$80 million (UK£53 million).

== Early life and career beginnings ==
Knowles was born in Houston, Texas, the daughter of Mathew Knowles, a successful record manager, and [[Tina Beyincé]], a costume designer and hair stylist. Knowles' father is African American and her mother is of Creole (African-American, Native American, and French) descent.[6] Knowles was baptized after her mother's maiden name, as a tribute to her mother and to prevent the name from becoming obsolete, since only a few of the Beyincé males carry the name.[7][8] Her maternal grandparents, Lumis Albert Beyincé and Agnéz Deréon, were French-speaking Louisiana Creoles.[8] She is the elder sister of Solange, a singer-songwriter and actress.

Knowles was schooled at St. Mary's Elementary School in Texas, where she enrolled in dance classes, including ballet and jazz. Her talent in singing was discovered when her dance instructor began humming a song and she finished it, hitting the high-pitched notes.[7] Although a shy girl, as her mother considered her, Knowles' interest in music and performing began unexpectedly after joining in a school talent show. Once she had a moment on the stage, she overcame her shyness and wanted to become a singer and performer.[9] By age seven, Knowles had entered her first talent show, singing John Lennon's "Imagine". She won the contest and was honored with a standing ovation.[10][11]

In the fall of 1990, Knowles enrolled in Parker Elementary School, a music magnet school in Houston, where she would perform onstage with the school's choir.[7] She also attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston[12] and later went to Alief Elsik High School, located in the Houston neighborhood of Alief.[8][13] Knowles was a soloist in the choir of her church, in St. John's United Methodist Church.[7] She only lasted in the choir for two years, however, because she was preoccupied with her newfound career.[14]

At the age of eight, Knowles met LaTavia Roberson while in an audition for a girl group.[15] They, along with Knowles' friend Kelly Rowland, were placed into a group that performed rapping and dancing. Originally named Girl's Tyme,[10] they were eventually cut down to six members.[7] With Knowles and Rowland, Girl's Tyme attracted audience nationally. West coast R&B producer, Arne Frager, flew into Houston to see them. He eventually brought them to his studio - The Plant Recording Studios - in Northern California, with Knowles' vocals being featured because Frager thought she had personality and the ability to sing.[7] As part of efforts to sign Girl's Tyme to a major label record deal, Frager's strategy was to debut them in Star Search,[9] the biggest talent show on national TV that time.[7] They participated, but lost the competition because the song they performed was not good, as Knowles herself admitted.[16][17] Knowles had her first "professional setback" after that defeat, but regained confidence after learning that pop stars Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake had also experienced the same fate.[7]

To manage the group, Knowles' father (who was at that time a medical-equipment salesman) resigned in 1995 from his job.[18] He dedicated his time and established a "boot camp" for their training.[9] The move reduced Knowles' family's income by half and her parents separated because of the pressure.[8] Not long after the inclusion of Rowland, Mathew cut the original lineup to four,[7] with LeToya Luckett joining in 1993.[15] Rehearsing in Tina's salon and their backyards, the group continued performing as an opening act for other established R&B girl groups of the time;[15] Tina contributed to the cause by designing their costumes, which she continued to do throughout the Destiny's Child era. With the continued support of Mathew, they auditioned before record labels and were finally signed to Elektra Records, only to be dropped months later before they could release an album.[8]

== Recording and film career ==

=== Destiny's Child's era ===
Taking inspiration from a passage in the Book of Isaiah, the group changed its name to Destiny's Child in 1993.[15] Together, they performed in local events and, after four years on the road, the group was signed to Columbia Records in late 1997. That same year, Destiny's Child recorded its major label debut song, "Killing Time", for the soundtrack to the 1997 film, Men in Black.[15][17]

The following year, the group released its self-titled debut album,[16] scoring their first major hit "No, No, No". That album established the group as a viable act in the music industry, amassing moderate sales and winning the group three Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards for "Best R&B/Soul Single" for "No, No, No", "Best R&B/Soul Album of the Year" and "Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist".[15] However, the group rose to bona fide stardom after releasing their multi-platinum sophomore album The Writing's on the Wall in 1999. The record features some of the group's most widely known songs such as "Bills, Bills, Bills", the group's first number-one single, Jumpin' Jumpin'", and "Say My Name", which became their most-successful song at the time, and would remain one of their signature songs. "Say My Name" won the Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and the Best R&B Song at the 2001 Grammy Awards.[15] The Writing's on the Wall sold more than seven million copies,[16] essentially becoming their breakthrough album.[19][20]

Along with their commercial successes, the group became entangled in much-publicized turmoil involving the filing of a lawsuit by Luckett and Roberson for breach of contract. The issue was heightened after Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin appeared on the video of "Say My Name", implying that Luckett and Roberson had already been replaced.[15] Eventually, Luckett and Roberson left the group. Franklin would eventually fade from the group after five months,[16] as evidenced by her absences during promotional appearances and concerts. She attributed her departure to negative vibes in the group resulting from the strife.[15]

After settling on their final lineup, the trio recorded "Independent Women Part I", which appeared on the soundtrack to the 2000 film, Charlie's Angels. It became their best-charting single, topping the official U.S. singles chart for eleven consecutive weeks.[19][15] The success cemented the new lineup and skyrocketed them to fame.[10] Later that year, Luckett and Roberson withdrew their case against their now-former band mates, while maintaining the suit against Mathew, which ended in both sides agreeing to stop public disparaging.[15] Destiny's Child's third album, Survivor, channels the turmoil they underwent, spawning its eponymous lead single, which was a response to the experience.[21] The themes of "Survivor", however, caused Luckett and Roberson to refile their lawsuit, believing that the songs were aimed at them.[15] However, the proceedings were eventually settled in June 2002.[20] Meanwhile, the album was released in May 2001, debuting at number one on U.S. Billboard 200 with 663,000 units sold.[22] To date, Survivor has sold over ten million copies worldwide, over forty percent of which were sold in the U.S. alone.[23] The album spawned other number-one hits—"Bootylicious" and the title track, "Survivor", the latter of which earned the group a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. After releasing their holiday album, 8 Days of Christmas, the group announced their temporary break-up to pursue solo projects.[15]

=== Solo and career development ===
While Knowles was with Destiny's Child, she also made appearances as a solo artist. In 2000, Knowles was featured on "I Got That" by rapper Amil, which was released on the latter's debut album, All Money Is Legal. In early 2001, while Destiny's Child was finishing Survivor, Knowles landed a major role in the MTV made-for-television film, Carmen: A Hip Hopera, starring alongside American actor Mekhi Phifer. Set in Philadelphia, the film is a modern interpretation of the 19th century opera Carmen by French composer Georges Bizet.[24]

In 2002, Knowles co-starred in the comedy film Austin Powers in Goldmember, playing Foxxy Cleopatra opposite Mike Myers.[25] The movie topped the box office, gaining $73.1 million on its first weekend.[10] Knowles recorded her first solo single, "Work It Out", for the film's soundtrack.[26] The following year, Knowles starred opposite Cuba Gooding, Jr. in the romantic comedy film The Fighting Temptations, and recorded "Fighting Temptation", alongside female rappers Missy Elliott, MC Lyte, and Free for its soundtrack.[27][28]

That same year, Knowles was the featured vocalist on her boyfriend Jay-Z's hit single "'03 Bonnie & Clyde".[10] She also recorded a version of 50 Cent's "In Da Club" and released it in March 2003.[29] Luther Vandross and Knowles remade the duet "The Closer I Get to You", which was originally recorded by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway in 1977.[30] Their version won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals the following year, and Vandross' "Dance with My Father", which also features Knowles, won for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.[31][32]

=== Dangerously in Love (2003) ===
After Williams and Rowland released their solo efforts, Knowles released her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love, in June 2003.[30] Featuring many musical collaborators, the album contains a combination of uptempo and slow jam songs. The album debuted on the Billboard 200 at number one, selling 317,000 copies in its first week.[22] Certified 4x platinum on August 5, 2004 by the Recording Industry Association of America,[33] the album has sold 4.2 million copies to date in the United States.[34]

"Crazy in Love", featuring a guest rap verse from Jay-Z, was released as the album's lead single. It became one of the biggest hits of that summer, staying at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for eight consecutive weeks[35] and topping many charts worldwide. Knowles also successfully dominated the United Kingdom, simultaneously topping the singles and album charts there.[36][37] "Crazy in Love" became the fourth best-selling single in the U.S. in 2003.[38] "Crazy in Love" was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America[33] and considered to be the "proudest moment" of the album.[39]

Toward the end of the summer, "Baby Boy", the second single from Dangerously in Love which features dancehall singer Sean Paul, began to climb the charts. It also became one of the biggest hits of 2003, dominating U.S. radio airplay and spending nine weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100—one week longer than "Crazy in Love".[40][41] "Baby Boy" was certified as a platinum single by the Recording Industry Association of America.[33] "Me, Myself and I" was released as the third single, and Dangerously in Love's fourth and final single, "Naughty Girl", came out in mid-2004. Both of the final two singles made the top five of the Billboard Hot 100.[42] Unlike "Crazy in Love", the final three singles attained more immediate commercial successes, propelling the album to the top of the charts and going a long way toward it being certified multi-platinum.[43]

Knowles won five awards at the 2004 Grammy Awards for her solo effort, which included the Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "Dangerously in Love 2", Best R&B Song for "Crazy in Love", and the Best Contemporary R&B Album. She shares this distinction with four other female artists: Lauryn Hill (1999), Alicia Keys (2002) Norah Jones (2003) and Amy Winehouse (2008).[19][44] In 2004, she won a BRIT Award for International Female Solo Artist.[45]

=== Destiny Fulfilled (2004) and Group Hiatus ===
In 2004, Knowles planned to release a follow-up album featuring some of the left-over recordings from Dangerously in Love. However, her musical aspirations were put on hiatus due to conflicting schedules, including her recording with Destiny's Child for their final album.[46] Early in that year, Knowles performed the U.S. national anthem at Super Bowl XXXVIII at Reliant Stadium in Houston, fulfilling a childhood dream.[47]

After a three-year journey that involved concentration on individual solo projects, Knowles rejoined Rowland and Williams for Destiny Fulfilled, released in November 2004.[15] The album hit number two on the Billboard 200, and spawned "Lose My Breath", "Soldier", "Girl", and "Cater 2 U" as notable mainstream records.[48] In support of the album, Destiny's Child embarked on the 2005 Destiny Fulfilled ... And Lovin' It world tour, which started in April and ran through September. On the Barcelona, Spain visit, the group announced their disbandment after the end of their final North American leg.[49][15] In October 2005, the group released a compilation album, entitled #1's, including all of Destiny's Child's number-one hits and most of their well-known songs. The greatest hits collection also includes three new tracks, including "Stand Up for Love". Destiny's Child was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in March 2006.[47] They were also recognized as the world's best-selling female group of all time.[50][51]

Continuing her film career, Knowles co-starred in the film The Pink Panther, playing the role of Xania, an international pop star, opposite Steve Martin, who plays Inspector Clouseau.[52][53] The film was released on February 10, 2006, and debuted at number one at the box office, doing $21.7 million in ticket sales in its first week.[10] Knowles recorded "Check on It" for the film, featuring Slim Thug, and reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.[52]

In late 2005, Knowles again put her second album on hold after she landed a role in Dreamgirls, the film adaptation of the 1981 hit Broadway musical about a 1960s singing group loosely based on Motown all-female group The Supremes. In the film, she portrays the Diana Ross-based character Deena Jones.[54][52] Knowles told Billboard magazine: "I'm not going to write for the album until I finish doing the movie."[34] Released in December 2006, Dreamgirls stars Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, and Jennifer Hudson. Knowles recorded several songs for the film's soundtrack, including the original song "Listen".[55] On December 14, 2006, Knowles was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards for the film, Best Actress - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and Best Original Song for "Listen".[56] The film won two 2007 Academy Awards.[57]

=== B'Day (2006) ===
Inspired by her role in Dreamgirls, Knowles worked on her second album without any specific plan, telling MTV News, "[When filming ended] I had so many things bottled up, so many emotions, so many ideas".[58] Knowles worked with previous musical collaborators, including Rich Harrison, Rodney Jerkins and Sean Garrett, at the Sony Music Studios in New York City. Completed in three weeks, she co-wrote and co-produced nearly all songs included in the album.[59]

B'Day was released worldwide on September 4, 2006 and on September 5, 2006 in the United States to coincide with the celebration of her twenty-fifth birthday. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling more than 541,000 copies in the first week, her highest first-week sales mark as a solo artist.[60] The album also had the third-highest debut-sales total of 2006[61] and has been certified three-times platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America.[33] Although it was a commercial success, the relatively short time for production of the album was the subject of critical scrutiny. The Rolling Stone magazine's Brian Hiatt said that "while the mostly up-tempo disc never lacks for energy, some of the more beat-driven tracks feel harmonically and melodically undercooked, with hooks that don't live up to 'Crazy in Love' or the best Destiny's Child hits."[62] Despite such criticisms, the album was complimented by others, with Gail Mitchell of Billboard magazine writing, "... throughout [the album], she romps with creative abandon, thankfully unafraid of stretching the boundaries lyrically and musically."[63]

The album spawned the UK number-one single "Déjà Vu", the album's lead single, featuring Jay-Z. "Ring the Alarm", the second single, became her highest-charting single debut, opening at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100.[64] Outside North America, "Irreplaceable" was released in October 2006 as the album's second single. Like "Baby Boy", the single received massive airplay, which helped propel it at number one.[65] "Irreplaceable" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for ten consecutive weeks, giving Knowles her fourth number-one single.[66] It broke the record "Baby Boy" previously held (nine consecutive weeks), but it failed to match Destiny's Child's "Independent Women Part I".[67]

Knowles re-released B'Day on April 3, 2007 as a deluxe edition, seven months after the release of the original version.[68] The re-release version features new tracks, including "Beautiful Liar", a duet with Latin superstar Shakira. The track made Billboard history when it jumped from number ninety-four to number three on the Hot 100 on April 2007;[69] and "Amor Gitano", a duet with Mexican singer Alejandro Fernández, used as the theme song for the Colombian telenovela, Zorro: La Espada y la Rosa. Also included in the re-release of B'Day are Spanish-language versions of "Beautiful Liar", "Irreplaceable", and "Listen".[70] Simultaneously, the B'Day Anthology Video Album was released featuring ten videos, including the director's cut of "Listen" and the extended remix of "Get Me Bodied".[71][70] During the week of April 22, the deluxe edition of B'Day and the B'Day Anthology Video Album that includes the song "Still in Love (Kissing You)" were pulled from distribution due to a lawsuit filed by English singer Des'ree.[72][73] The lawsuit is over Knowles' cover of Des'ree's 1998 record, "I'm Kissing You". After the infringement issue, the present version of the re-issue does not include the track.

At the 2007 Grammy Awards, Knowles won in one of the five categories in which she was nominated, that being Best Contemporary R&B Album.[74] The following year, she earned three nominations: Record of the Year for "Irreplaceable", Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for "Beautiful Liar" with Shakira, as well as Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for the Dreamgirls soundtrack.[75] Knowles made history at the 35th Annual American Music Awards for being the first woman to win an International Artist Award.[47]

In support of the album, Knowles embarked on her lengthy The Beyoncé Experience concert tour, visiting over ninety venues worldwide. She started the tour in Japan on April 10, 2007 and concluded it on December 30, 2007 in Las Vegas. The documented footage on September 2, 2007 at Los Angeles' Staples Center was released on November 20, 2007 as The Beyoncé Experience Live! DVD.[76]

== I Am… Sasha Fierce (2008) ==
Knowles reportedly started working on her third studio album in December of 2007. The album is titled I Am… Sasha Fierce[77] Knowles says that the name Sasha Fierce is the name of the persona she adopts when she performs onstage.[78] "That is my alter ego and now she has a last name," says Knowles.[78] "I have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work and when I'm on stage, this alter ego that I've created that kind of protects me and who I really am."[78] In an interview with producer Rodney Jerkins, he said that the style of the album kept switching and was inspired by Knowles' upcoming film, Cadillac Records,[79] in which Knowles had been cast to play famed blues singer Etta James, he also mentioned that the release date she was working at for the album was November 2008.[80]

Knowles recorded a cover of Billy Joel's "Honesty" which was included on a Matthew Knowles/Music World CD released only in Japan towards the end of June 2008 to celebrate the tenth-year anniversary of Destiny's Child. Knowles also recorded with various artist for "Just Stand Up!", a charity single for the "Stand Up To Cancer" charity. This charity aims to raise funds for cancer research through the acts and offerings of the celebrity world. Joining Knowles on this charity single was Mariah Carey, Natasha Bedingfield, Leona Lewis, Rihanna, Leann Rimes and Mary J. Blige. The song was brought to public attention recently when it was performed live by most of the stars at Fashion Rocks 2008 in New York City—this show was broadcast simultaneously on all major American networks on September 5, 2008.

"If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", the first singles from I Am… Sasha Fierce, were released to radio on October 14, 2008, preceding the album's release on November 18, 2008.[81][82] In addition to releasing a new album and continuing her growing film career with the upcoming release of Cadillac Records, Knowles will also star opposite Ali Larter and Idris Elba in a thriller film called Obsessed, which has been in production since May 2008.[83] This film is due in the United States in January 2009, with an international release slated in March 2009.

Knowles is expected to tour during most of 2009, starting in the Spring and visiting venues all over the world from the America's, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania. Knowles will also include a week long stint of shows in Las Vegas.

== Other ventures ==
=== House of Deréon ===
Knowles and her mother introduced House of Deréon, a ready-to-wear contemporary women's fashion line, in 2005. The concept is inspired by three generations of women in their family, with the name Deréon paying tribute to Knowles' grandmother, Agnèz Deréon, who worked as seamstress.[84][85] According to Tina Knowles, the overall style of the line best reflects Knowles' taste and style.[86] Launched in 2006, products of House of Deréon received public exhibitions during the group's shows and tours during Destiny Fulfilled.[87][88][85] The store, which is available across the United States and Canada, sells sportswear, denim along with fur, outerwear and accessories that include handbags and footwear.[85] They also include footwear, which Knowles teamed up with House of Brands, a local shoe company.[89] In 2004, Knowles and her mother founded their family's company Beyond Productions, which provides the licensing and brand management for House of Deréon.[90] In early 2008, they launched Beyoncé Fashion Diva, a mobile game with an online social networking component, featuring House of Deréon.[90]

The animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has criticized Knowles for wearing and using fur in her clothing line.[8] The organization have sent letters to her, pleading to stop using fur in her clothing line. In one incident, PETA set up a dinner with her and fans, who were actually a connivance from the organization. Knowles was confronted with PETA representatives, with whom the latter was escorted out after Tina Knowles came in. The incident generated mixed responses; Knowles did not respond to the issues, although her father was reportedly fighting back.[91]

=== Products and endorsements ===
Knowles signed with Pepsi in 2002 for a promotional deal,[92] which included appearances on TV commercials, as well as radio and Internet advertisements. She was included by the company as endorser to help accomplish wider demographic coverage.[93] A 2004 Pepsi TV commercial in the theme of "Gladiators" featured Knowles and singers Britney Spears, Pink, and Enrique Iglesias,[94] and the following year with Jennifer Lopez and David Beckham entitled "Samurai".[95]

Knowles' range of commercial deals and products also includes beauty care products and perfumes. She signed with cosmetics company L'Oréal in 2003, earning her about $1 million.[96] She launched her own fragrance called True Star, a Tommy Hilfiger scent, in 2004. As part of her contributions to the product, Knowles sang a cover version of "Wishing on a Star" for the True Star commercials, for which she earned $250,000.[97] She also launched Hilfiger's True Star Gold in 2005 and Emporio Armani's Diamonds in 2007.[98] Forbes magazine reported that Knowles earned $80 million between June 2007 and June 2008, combined with her album, tour, fashion business, and promotional deals. It made her the world's second best-paid music personality for this span of time.[99]

=== Philanthropy ===
Knowles has been exposed to issues of social awareness since a young child, as her father would sometimes take her into the community, including African-American society.[7] Knowles and Rowland, along with the former's family, founded the Survivor Foundation, a charitable entity set up to provide transitional housing for 2005 Hurricane Katrina victims and storm evacuees in the Houston, Texas area.[8] The Survivor Foundation extended the philanthropic mission of the Knowles-Rowland Center for Youth, a multi-purpose community outreach facility in downtown Houston.[8]

In 2005, music producer David Foster, his daughter Amy Foster-Gillies, and Knowles wrote "Stand Up for Love," which would serve as the anthem of World Children's Day, an event which takes place annually around the world on November 20 to raise awareness and funds for children's causes worldwide. Destiny's Child lent their voices and support as global ambassadors for the 2005 World Children's Day program.[100][8]

Knowles conducted food drives during stops on The Beyoncé Experience tour in Houston on July 14, Atlanta on July 20, Washington, D.C. on August 9, Toronto on August 15, Chicago on August 18, and Los Angeles on September 2, 2006.[101] On October 4, 2008, Knowles attended the Miami Children's Hospital Diamond Ball & Private Concert at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, where she was inducted into the International Pediatric Hall of Fame. Ethan Bortnick, the seven-year old musical sensation, dedicated and performed "Over the Rainbow" to Knowles.[102]

== Personal life ==
Since 2002, Knowles has been in a relationship with rapper Jay-Z, with whom she has collaborated several times. Rumors began to circulate about their relationship after Knowles was featured on "'03 Bonnie and Clyde".[10] In spite of persistent rumors about their relationship, they remained discreet about it.[103][104] In 2005, rumors began to spread about the marriage of the couple. Knowles closed the speculation stating that she and Jay-Z were not even engaged.[105] When asked again about the subject in September 2007, Jay-Z replied, "One day soon—let's leave it at that."[106] Laura Schreffler, senior writer for OK! magazine, said, "They are intensely private people".[107]

On April 4, 2008, Knowles and Jay-Z were married in New York City. It became a matter of public record on April 22, 2008,[108] but Knowles did not publicly debut her wedding ring until the Fashion Rocks concert on September 5, 2008 in New York City.[109] Knowles finally revealed their marriage during an opening montage video at the listening party for I Am... Sasha Fierce in Manhattan's Sony Club.[110]

== Style and image ==

=== Music and voice ===
Knowles has cited various classic artists who influenced her music. She grew up listening to songs of Anita Baker and Luther Vandross, the latter whom she eventually collaborated with. She was exposed to the jazz music of Rachelle Ferrell, after singing the Ferrell's songs during her voice lessons.[111] She also cites influences from American artists Prince, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson,Selena, Mariah Carey Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Diana Ross, Donna Summer and Tina Turner,[112] with whom the former and latter she co-performed during the 46th Grammy Awards and the 50th Grammy Awards.

Knowles, a mezzo-soprano, has always been identified as the centerpiece of Destiny's Child. Jon Pareles of The New York Times commented that she has the voice that defines the group.[115] James Anthony of The Guardian called her voice distinctive and fast, with almost hiccuping vocal technique.[20] Andrew Leahey of Allmusic called her siren-voiced,[116] while The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that she has a "husky" and "Southern-accented" voice.[117] The Cove magazine ranked Knowles as their seventh among one hundred outstanding pop vocalists worldwide, giving her forty-eight out of fifty points based on several criteria ranging from her vocal ability to ranges to harmony.[118]

Knowles' music is predominantly considered contemporary R&B, but has also included genres of dance-pop, funk, pop and soul. While she almost exclusively releases English songs, Knowles did record several Spanish records for the re-release of B'Day. Destiny's Child had already recorded a Spanish song and received favorable responses from their Latin fans. Knowles took Spanish in school when she was young, but can now only speak a few words of the language. Prior to recording the Spanish titles on the re-released version of B'Day, she was coached phonetically by American record producer Rudy Perez.[71] She sang in French once at the Oscars, having also learned it through coaching.[119]

=== Songwriting and producing ===
Since Destiny's Child, Knowles has been artistically involved in her career.[15] She co-wrote most of the songs recorded by the group, as well as her solo efforts. Known for writing personally driven and female-empowerment themed compositions, she has stated that having Jay-Z in her life has changed a few of her thoughts about how men and women relate to one another .[120] Some of her songs are autobiographical, which she has admitted are taken from personal experiences, as well as her friends'.[121]

Knowles has co-produced most of the records in which she has been involved, especially during her solo efforts. Although she does not formulate beats and melodies herself, she typically comes up with ideas during production, sharing them with producers.[122]

Knowles was recognized as a song-writer during the run of Destiny's Child in the 1990s and early to mid-2000s. She won the Songwriter of the Year award at the 2001 American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers Pop Music Awards,[19] becoming the first African-American female and second overall female songwriter of all time to accomplish that feat.[8][121] Knowles received three song-writing credits in a single year for co-writing "Irreplaceable", "Grillz" and "Check on It", the only woman to achieve since Carole King in 1971 and Mariah Carey in 1991. In terms of credits, she is tied with Diane Warren at third with nine number-one singles.[123]

Despite her songwriter credits since Destiny's Child, her involvement was a subject of media scrutiny. An issue of Vanity Fair magazine, which happened to feature Knowles on its cover, fueled issues regarding her song-writing credits. In the magazine, she says, "I had written ... seven, eight number one songs with Destiny's Child, in a row."[124] Roger Friedman of FOX News questioned the veracity of her statement. One argument of Friedman involved the credit given to Knowles on her hit "Crazy in Love". He pointed out that the song was written by Eugene Record of the Chi-Lites and was only sampled by Rich Harrison, who produced the track.[124] In a 2004 MTV news report, it was stated, "... Harrison stepped up and wrote the verses and the hook, leaving the bridge for Beyoncé."[125] Friedman also cited songs from Destiny's Child and her solo recordings in his arguments. Another issue spread after Knowles' name was discredited for a nomination given to "Listen" at the 2007 Academy Awards. The Academy's ruling explained that only three major contributors should be recognized during the awards process, and Knowles was the least among the four.[126]

When the song, "If I Were a Boy" initially premiered, Fox News ran a story stating that Toby Gad stole the song from unknown artist, BC Jean after a failed agreement. The articles continues to state that Jean was unaware that Knowles recorded the track. Neither Jean nor Gab have released statements concerning this matter.[127]

== Stage ==

Knowles performing at the 2007 Beyoncé Experience, flanked by her dancers. Also appearing here is her all-female tour band, Suga Mama.In an article entitled "Born to Entertain", Knowles, alongside classic and contemporary entertainers, was complimented for her stage performances.[128] Amidst notable appearances, however, Knowles often receives criticisms. Pareles says, "Beyoncé can't keep up with the complex rhythms; onstage, she kept falling behind."[115] Her performance at the former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant's tomb on July 4, 2003 was cited as lasciviously choreographed; Grant's descendants in attendance had mixed reaction to it.[129]

In 2006, Knowles introduced her all-female tour band Suga Mama. In the months prior to the release of B'Day, she held an audition among female musicians across the United States, which concluded in June.[130] The performing ensemble includes bassists, drummers, guitarists, horn players, keyboardists and percussionists.[131] They debuted in public at the 2006 BET Awards and they re-appeared in the music video for "Irreplaceable" and "Green Light".[71] The band backed up Knowles during her 2007 The Beyoncé Experience world concert tour, and, in addition, they have appeared in small shows wherever Knowles has performed.

Knowles has become a sex symbol, known in media for her curvaceous body that is complemented with her choice of clothing[132].[133] According to her, "I like to dress sexy and I carry myself like a lady," but she has said that the way she dresses on stage is "absolutely for the stage".[134] As someone who is fond of fashion, Knowles combines its artistic elements with her music videos and performances. According to Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, she uses different styles and tries to harmonize it with the music while performing.[135] The B'Day Anthology Video Album showed many instances of fashion-oriented footage, depicting classic to contemporary wardrobe styles.[136] People magazine recognized Knowles as the best-dressed celebrity in 2007.[137] Knowles' mother wrote a 2002-published book, titled Destiny's Style: Bootylicious Fashion, Beauty and Lifestyle Secrets From Destiny's Child, an account of how fashion had an impact on Destiny's Child's success.[138]

Knowles holds the distinction as the first non model and non athlete to pose for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.Despite all her accomplishments, Knowles has been a source of rumors and a subject of public ridicule throughout her career. As one of the most media-exposed black artists in the United States, Knowles has often received criticism due to racism and sexism.[139] A fan of hers points out, "[Knowles] portrays herself as a sex symbol rather than an artist."[140] Toure of the Rolling Stone stated that since the release of Dangerously in Love, "[Beyoncé] has become a crossover sex symbol a la Halle Berry ..."[141] Her appearance in Vanity Fair magazine has also provoked speculations that her skin tone was digitally altered.[11]

In 2007, Knowles was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, the first non-model and non-athlete woman to pose on the issue and the second African American model after Tyra Banks.[47] In the same year, Knowles appeared on billboards and newspapers across the United States showing her holding an antiquated cigarette holder. Taken from the back cover of B'Day, the image provoked response from an anti-smoking group, stating that she did not need to add the cigarette holder "to make herself appear more sophisticated".[142]

Influence
Knowles has influenced various contemporary artists. Pop singer Rihanna has been compared to her when the columnist for The Guardian Amina Taylor called her "Bajan Beyoncé",[143] pop-R&B . The Canadian singer of the same genre, Keshia Chanté, had also an influence from Knowles.[144] In addition, American Idol winner Jordin Sparks' first single, "Tattoo", and debut album have been described as very "Beyoncé-ish";[145] some critics said that "Tattoo" might be "a blatant rip-off" off Knowles' hit single "Irreplaceable".[146]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic found American pop singer Katharine McPhee's songs on her debut album of the same name to have heavy influences from Knowles' music.[147] Rowland was inspired by Knowles’ voice while recording the former's second album, Ms. Kelly.[148]

'''Nicole Avery "Nikki" Cox''' (born [[June 2]], [[1978]]) is an [[American]] [[actress]] known mostly for her roles on the television series Unhappily Ever After and Las Vegas.

== Biography ==
Cox was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Meredith and Terry Cox, who is a personal manager.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.filmreference.com/film/61/Nikki-Cox.html|title=Nikki Cox Biography (1978-)|accessdate=2008-06-07|publisher=Film Reference}}</ref> She has one brother, Matthew Cox, who is also an actor. Nikki's career as an entertainer started at the age of four, as she appeared as a dancer in several ballet productions and TV specials. She began acting at the age of ten, making appearances in several movies and guest starring on shows such as Baywatch, Webster, California Dreams, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Blossom. She also starred in General Hospital from 1993 to 1995. She apparently appeared in the Badder section of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker.

Her appearances on various TV shows would lead to her first prime-time starring role as Tiffany Malloy on the sitcom Unhappily Ever After, which ran on the WB 1995–1999.

After Unhappily left the airwaves, she would portray former prostitute Taylor Clayton on the sitcom The Norm Show and star as Nikki White in Nikki, a sitcom vehicle that would last for under two seasons (2000–2002). She starred as Mary Connell on the TV drama Las Vegas from 2003-2007. On 20 May and 23 May 2005, her Las Vegas character crossed over to NBC's cult-favorite soap opera Passions to coincide with the arrival of two new characters introduced on Las Vegas.

After being romantically linked to Kevin Connolly, who played her brother on Unhappily Ever After, Cox was engaged in 1999 to Bobcat Goldthwait, a comedian more than 15 years her senior, who played the voice of Mr. Floppy, a stuffed bunny, on Unhappily Ever After. She was later linked to her Las Vegas co-star Josh Duhamel. On December 29, 2006, Cox married comedian/actor Jay Mohr in Los Angeles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20005554,00.html|title=Jay Mohr Marries ''Las Vegas'' Star Nikki Cox|accessdate=2006-12-30|last=Tan|first=Michelle|publisher=[http://www.People.com People magazine]}}</ref> She is currently the spokesmodel for online gaming giant Sportsbook.com, and is working on Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust, an upcoming video game, and Lonely Street, an upcoming comedy movie starring Robert Patrick, Jay Mohr (her husband), Ernie Hudson and Lindsay Price.
