Beyonce Facing Lawsuit From "Project Runway" Star

A contestant from the widely popular Bravo TV show Project Runway is suing R&B giant Beyonce over costumes for her I Am... tour, reports say.
Chris March, the third runner-up in the fourth season of the reality show, has reportedly filed suit against Beyonce and the tour's creative advisor, Terry Mugler, claiming he has not been paid for the outfits he helped creative for the singer's worldwide trek.
March is now looking to collect $43,500 in damages, what he says he is owed, says CocoPerez.com.
Beyonce has yet to issue any statement on the bad news of March's suit, but she was hit with a stroke of good news earlier this week when it was announced that she would be the recipient of Billboard's 2009 Woman of the Year Award.
"Beyonce is multi-platinum artist and a multi-talented woman who clearly embodies the qualities of excellence and achievement that the Billboard Woman Of The Year Award was created to honor," said Bill Werde, Billboard's Editorial Director. "She has not only influenced pop culture with her hit songs and signature dance moves, but has inspired women everywhere with her unique style, business savvy and dedication to charitable causes."
"It is an honor to be named Woman of The Year by Billboard," said Beyonce. "I am humbled by this award."

Beyonce Facing Lawsuit From New York Club Owner

A Manhattan club owner is crying foul over a cancelled Beyonce performance and threatening the pop diva with a million-dollar lawsuit.
In preparation for the North American leg of her I Am... Sasha Fierce tour, Beyonce was set to perform at a club called M2 in Manhattan.
The club's owner, Joey Morrissey, told the New York Post that he paid the singer her $200,000 fee and all was well until he received a call from her camp on Wednesday (June 16).
According to Morrissey, Bey's people told him that she would not be performing even though she signed a contract that stipulated he spend $100,000 in preparation for the show.
"They said they were too busy with the launching of the tour and that they wouldn't have time to do the kickoff party," he said.
Morrissey says Beyonce then offered to come to the club "to hang out for an hour" on Sunday in an effort to make amends for the missed performance.
"I mean, we sold tables for thousands of dollars for the show, and spent $100,000 renting a soundboard and other equipment, as per their stipulations. What good does her showing up for an hour do me? They've been totally unwilling to agree to another show," Morrissey added.
Morrissey says he is now preparing to sue Beyonce for the "loss of reputation" his business has suffered as well as the money he is out.
"We had an overwhelming response from our club goers, who were lining up to buy tickets and tables. This will come as a great disappointment to all of them," he claims, adding, "If Beyonce cancels and doesn't give us a new date, this hurts our credibility in night life."
At press time, Beyonce had issued no public comment on the potential lawsuit.

Crazed Fan Almost Gets Ahold of Beyonce

After her performance at the O2 Arena in London, England, Beyonce headed to Greenwich's IndigO2 Club where her sister Solonge was performing. The 27 year old singer was being escorted by security backstage to her sister's dressing room with her hubby Jay-Z when a crazed fan got too close for comfort. Somehow the man got into the backstage waiting area by breaking into a backstage door. The London Paper reported that Beyonce was at the IndigO2 club for the 'I am Sasha Fierce' Tour after party.
According to a witness: “A man barged through the backstage door just as BeyoncĂ© was walking past.
“He cried out her name with his arms outstretched before security bundled him back out again. He said he wanted to see Jay-Z to give him a demo tape.”
Not exactly the right way to get Jay's attention. Whatever happened to the old school procedure of just dropping it off at the record label?
