Successful music career? Check! Moderately successful movie career? Check! Lots of money? Check! Supportive family and rich fiancé? Check, check! Free clothes? Yeah, that too!
Beyoncé revealed that she not only gets paid to be the face of Emporio Armani Diamonds but she also get tons and tons of free, very expensive clothing!!!! Here’s what Bey said about that:
“Now that I’m doing these appearances, they bring me racks of clothes — and I get to keep them,” she says with a giggle. “All of them. Even the ones I don’t wear that day. I have storage here and in Houston — I have to ship a lot of the clothes. It’s too many great clothes. I’ve got no complaints. It’s so cool.”
How many Armani gowns does she own? Knowles is stumped. “A hundred. A lot? It’s very cool.”
The songbird also had some things to say about what makes her feel good:
“I feel the sexiest after I take a shower, and I have on my lotion and perfume and my pajamas. I feel comfortable, and I feel like I smell good. I love it.”
Her favorite smell, however, is not the perfume or any lotion…
What is it???
“It would be my mom’s food,” she says. “When I walk into her house in Houston, it’s the most comforting smell. It makes me feel like a kid again. I can’t cook. My mom makes really good gumbo — we’re Creole. And she makes really good soul food. Yams, they smell so good.”
There was also news about how she reacted to fans at the Macy’s department store during the fragrance launch:
Earlier Thursday, Knowles was mobbed by lines of fans at a meet-and-greet in the Macy’s beauty department. She treated each fan, middle-aged women to tween girls, like a long-lost best friend. It’s a lesson she learned from Will Smith during a signing with him for the Men in Black soundtrack when she was 15.
“He was so nice to every person. I watched him. I knew he had to be tired, and I couldn’t believe how nice he was,” she says.
“We were the last people he met. I said, ‘I don’t care if I ever get that famous: I will always be like him.’ I always try to be as nice to the first person as to the last person and will make eye contact.”
Knowles, who’s in the middle of her Beyoncé Experience world tour, just earned seven MTV Video Music Awards nominations. And she’s still dancing in stilettos after falling down the stairs at her Orlando show while performing Ring the Alarm. Videos of the spectacular accident made the rounds on the Internet after being posted on YouTube.com, even though the star playfully asked the audience not to post it. “Yeah!” she says of her high heels. “I have blisters and my feet are turning into crazy-looking feet, but it’s worth it. I guess.”
She plans on releasing a new album next summer, and then she will throw herself back into a movie role, preferably “something a little darker, but still a musical.” Adds the Dreamgirls star: “That’s my niche. I’m able to connect the drama with the music.”

Lucy girl…
Who is Jeanne, like Beyonce’s family friend or publicist or something? Send this to some starving Africans or even Americans. I know, I know…I’m a STOCKBROKER–WALLSTREET GURU…It’s great to be rich and beautiful, but going to church today was a humbling experience, because I learned that there are so many starving and disadvantaged people who will never have a chance to become STOCKBROKERS or entertainers. I get pissed when the “lower” employees hate on me, but I am respected because I don’t brag or retaliate against others.
Oh, come on. This is very tongue-in-cheek and clearly for a fan site. It’s amazing because today I’ve been accused of favoring Beyoncé AND of being too hard on her. I can’t win
Incidentally, I spend a lot of my time on charity and volunteer work because I feel the same way as you. I clocked 244 hours this year.
I know what you mean, though. There are haters out there. I’m glad you are successful, though. Congrats on that. It’s getting harder to do well in life…
