Beyonce’s representative has dismissed reports of a feud between the singer and her manager/father Mathew Knowles, branding rumors he is set to step down as her adviser “absolutely false.”

The “Halo” hitmaker’s dad has guided her to superstardom from childhood, helping her to find fame in the 1990s with R&B group Destiny’s Child, before establishing herself as a solo star.

A report published by the New York Daily News suggests a rift between the pair erupted after DNA tests confirmed in March that Knowles had fathered a child with 38-year-old Alexsandra Wright while he was still married to Beyonce’s mother, Tina.

Wright’s son Nixon was born in February, three months after Tina Knowles filed for divorce.

Record label executives at Beyonce’s label Columbia have allegedly been searching for a replacement for the patriarch amid claims of growing tension within the family.

However, a spokesperson for Beyonce has dismissed the claims, telling the newspaper: “There is no merit to this. This is absolutely false.”

Beyoncé is considering scrapping her ‘Single Ladies’ dance routine for live performances, according to reports.

The singer is considering ditching the routine, which has been mimicked by artists including Liza Minnelli, Joe Jonas and Justin Timberlake, because she does not want to be part of the joke.

“Beyoncé loves the fact the video and the routine have been so huge and has really enjoyed performing ‘Single Ladies’ live but that’s it now, she’s moving on,” a source told Showbiz Spy.

“She doesn’t want to be part of a long-term joke, [but] that’s not to say she doesn’t get a big kick out of watching other people do it.”

Beyonce is no stranger to being sued. In fact, she’s been sued so many times, it’s becoming as second nature as those yaki lacefronts. Apparently, recent court documents show that a certain ‘Philip Markowitz’ filed a lawsuit seeking $25,000 yesterday in Los Angeles against Beyonce, her production coordinator Dina Ciccotello and a liability company. Mr. Markowitz is a neighbour in the Los Angelos community where Beyonce recorded her latest music video for ‘Why Dont You Love Me’. He says the singer and her crew violated his privacy on the morning of March 26th and didn’t leave until 11 p.m. He has also complained about his driveway being repeatedly blocked, as well as the loud disturbances and damages that were inflicted.

R&B star Kelly Rowland has brushed off reports she and former Destiny’s Child bandmate Beyonce have fallen out after the “Halo” hitmaker chose to release her new song on the same day as her pal.

All three members of Destiny’s Child, including Michelle Williams, have gone on to enjoy varying degrees of success with their solo careers following the group’s split in 2006, with Beyonce garnering the most critical acclaim.

Reports of a growing rivalry between the trio have been rampant for years but the stars have continually dismissed the claims.

The rumors resurfaced last week when Beyonce’s new track “Why Don’t You Love Me” hit the airwaves days after Rowland’s new tune “Commander” was released.

But Rowland insists the media is reading too much into the joint releases and trying to stir up a feud that doesn’t exist.

She tells HipHollywood.com, “We all came out at the same time and it really doesn’t matter… I think there’s room for everybody… There’s B (Beyonce), there’s Ciara putting something out and (Lady) GaGa putting something out, but, because we started out together, people are going to say things like that.

“But I really don’t care, I love her ’til our dying days and that’s all that counts.”

Two of the biggest female singers in the world are planning the ultimate live collaboration.

Beyoncé is reportedly set to perform with Lady Gaga at The Brit Awards on February 16.

The ‘Single Ladies’ star is due to appear on stage during the wacky blonde’s performance of their duet ‘Video Phone’

A source tells The Daily Star, “At first Beyoncé didn’t think she could make the Brits. But now it’s looking more likely. “With her hubby Jay-Z also on the bill it makes sense for her not to miss out.”

But let’s hope there’s no case of the green-eyed monster if she does team up with ‘Poker Face’ star.

I hope this happens. They need to perform together some time!

According to News of the World, Cowell has his eyes set on adding a different element to the next season of The X Factor with not just one additional judge, but two.

“Simon leaves nothing to chance and is planning for the future already. He wants to bring in Beyoncé,” says an insider, who believes negotiations for the next season will be ironed out this spring.

While the ink is not dry, an insider says more often than not Cowell gets what he wants — even in the form of an extended guest spot.

“..What Simon wants, Simon gets. Expect Beyoncé on the panel. Nothing has been confirmed yet because the deal hasn’t been sealed with ITV but she’ll be there in some form,” says the insider. “It’s difficult to get A-listers to commit to a six-month slot as a full judge, but a fortnight is a lot simpler. Simon wants to extend the mentoring to the judging panel so you get to hear what the stars really think.”

This is News of the World, so don’t expect it to be true, but if it is, I think that she would make an amazing judge! I would even be happy with a guest spot, which is more likely.

Pop superstars Beyonce and Madonna are rumoured to have signed up for this week’s X Factor final.

We have already revealed that Paul McCartney, Michael Buble, Robbie Williams and George Michael will be performing with the X Factor finalists next week, now we hear that these two superstars may be giving solo performances.

If this rumour is true, it will be a bit of a déjà vu, as Beyonce also performed on last year’s final. She sang a duet with Alexandra Burke, check out the video below. Madonna has never appeared on the show before.

“I said we should use titanium because it weighs, like, nothing, compared to gold or silver. We actually did a mold of her hand in wax and it was a pretty incredible experience. At first, people didn’t understand it and now I’ve gone to restaurants and I see people wearing knockoff versions.”
