Taking the stage at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida, Beyonce Knowles-Carter was the center of attention at the 2008 Diamond Ball And Private Concert Saturday night.
The singer/actress was the guest of honor at the gala which hoped to raise as much money as possible for the Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation. With tables costing up to $11,000, Beyonce also took the stage alongside seven-year-old piano prodigy, Ethan Bortnick, who was reportedly playing to show his appreciation for the hospital for treating his younger brother’s heart troubles.
Beyonce was inducted to the center’s Hall of Fame as a reward for all of her generous charity work.

LOL@ folks MAD that Beyonce does charity work! You all sound so stupid and foolish! You really need to get a life of your own!SMH Folks are steaming mad! This is just crazy!
Beyonce also does charity work for the Make A Wish Foundation that helps severely sick children. She also does charity work for the Save the Music Foundation that helps music programs in schools. She continues to work with the Ronald McDonald Foundation as well as the Survivor Foundation and many more!
Hopefully, you can be inspired to give back as well.
I believe Kelly Rowland started that charity with her and does most of the work. I think that they both should have been there. I also think she has a glow to her. I think Beyonce is expecting. She looks like she has put on weight in her face, neck, and hips. All the places pregnant women gain weight. But she looks pretty.
Oh, she looks absolutely fabulous in that ensemble! Loves it!
OMG … THIS GIRL CAN DO NOTHING RIGHT IN YOU NEGATIVE PEOPLE’S EYES ….. SHE GIVES TO CHARITY YOU PEOPLE COMPLAIN… SHE’S COVERED FROM HEAD TO TOE YOU PEOPLE COMPLAIN… YOU NEGATIVE PEOPLE COMPLAIN ALL THE TIME JUST BECAUSE SHE IS BEYONCE … WOOOOOOOOOOW ( IN A FLAOR FLAV VOICE ) AND YES I LIKE HER. DO I WORSHIP HER, NO.DOES SHE HAVE OFF DAYS YES … SHE IS HUMAN,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU PEOPLE JUDGING HER BETTER BE 100 % PERFECT AT ALL TIMES
Beyonce must be God to black people.
I have never seen anyone get as much hate and love at the same time as her.
She looks flawless and her dress is fab.
She doesn’t have to show her goodies.
She is a natural beauty who is very successful popular and rich.
I’m sure she would be honored if she knew people went so psycho over her.
Beyonce Knowles is nothing but a whole lot of hype. She will never be in the same league or should be mentioned in the same category as Michael Jackson or the “pop star” herself Mrs. Madonna. You guys claim she is the hottest chick in the game and the queen, but that is only according the black media web sites. If you look at the white bloggers and web sites, they dog her big time. The hottest chick in the game is about to fizzle.
Congrats to Bey! She looks very conservative and lady-like… upclose I hate the dress…lol..
Beyonce is not 25 years old, she looks like she’s over 30.
And people wonder why black folks are the most sel-hating, bitter group out there.
WAKE UP BLACK PEOPLE, end the hatred.
WHY DID SHE GET HONORED?NOT LIKE THAT BUT WHAT HAS SHE DONE SO SPECIAL?LMAO.I STILL LOVE BEE AND ALL BUT SOME FANS AND PEOPLE MAKE HER OUT TO BE SOME GOD.
I AGREE WITH JSCENE HER FATHER IS THE MASTER MIND BEHIND WHATEVER SHE DOES. THEY PROBABLY MADE THE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTION SO WHY NOT HONOR HER! WHATEVER!!!

I hope they post a Beyonce post everyday because there is where I get my laughter from.
Oh, so why she was @ the AAA her husband was down the street doing a free Barack Obama concert with Wyclef and i must say if you don’t live here in Miami you missed a hell of a show, really wished she could have peaked her head in for a minute, but the show was hella good.
WOW at the rumors…..So far, judging from ppl comments (none of the ppl have never met beyonce btw)
….she has bad breath
….she has a nose job
….she lightens her skin
….she been pregnant for 20 months
….she doesn’t care about anyone but herself
….she is stupid
….she can’t sing
….she is overrated
….she is bald headed
….she didn’t deserve this rcognition
….the “WHITE” Blogs hate her
….She’s fat
….She only married Jay-Z for his money and fame
….AND THE BIG SHOCKER…she’s not even 26…she’s 30.
Now doesn’t this sound ridiculous. Im a BIG BEYONCE FAN…and I can admit that Im definitely a STAN (wat ever that means anyway). But you have to STAN for Beyonce becuz she is sooooooooooooooooo hated on. I mean DAMN, no one gets this much hate.
beyonce does nothing more than the average celeb when it comes to charity like i stated before ! STUPID STANS hahaaaa
Totally agree with #134
Only Beyonce will get hated on for doing charity work. Damn Shame
Wow you people are really crazy. This girl did some charity work and she still receives hate is that a big surprise? If half the people on this site took the time to do something positive for once in there lives they wouldn’t have so much time to focus on her or other celebs so much in a negative way. But no what do they do wait for a Bey post and the jealous hating women attack. Why because they will never ever have what she has and that’s Class and Respect you can tell that by the ignorant comments they make. You go on any other female post and there’s hate but not to the degree and effort they will make for Bey. What does that say that she is still that top chic and steady getting more blessings while they sit behind there computers and foam at the mouth with jealousy. The fans that know Bey knows she never brags on things she does for charity because she doesn’t need to too be recognized but don’t mention it again to the simpletons because they are to jealous to ever admit or give the woman her props.
nice. but what the hell has she done? She has done no more than any other celeb in my opinion. Alicia Keys does more than she does and is far more hands on with her charity… this chick just gets all the privilege for being absolutley fake! Just like her drug dealing ass husband!
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE KEEP SAYING WHAT HAS SHE DONE – THAT’S THE POINT YOU STUPID A-HOLES!!!
SHE DOES TONS OF CHARITY WORK, BUT DOESN’T WANT TO BE PUT IN THE PAPERS FOR IT EACH TIME SOMETHING’S DONE BECAUSE IT’S GENUINE.
THIS HOSPITAL WAS NICE ENOUGH TO INDUCT HER INTO THEIR HALL OF FAME FOR HER UNMENTIONED WORK BECAUSE IT’S GENUINE. THAT’S A BIG DEAL AND SHE MUST’VE DONE A LOT OF BIG THINGS FOR THEM TO DO THAT.
I CAN’T EXPRESS HOW STUPID HATERZ ARE AND HOW STUPID YOU SOUND BY POSTING – WHAT HAS SHE DONE? SHE OBVIOUSLY DOES A LOT MORE THAN JUST GIVE GOOD MUSIC AND IS TALENTED.
BEYONCE IS #1 – SHE EVEN GETS HATED ON FOR CHARITY WORK – LMAO.
AND TO THINK I KNOW SHE DOES A LOT FOR AIDS, BUT SHE MUST BE DOING EVEN MORE FOR KIDS THAT SHE GOT INTO THE PEDIATRICS HALL OF FAME.
SHE DOES DO A LOT FOR THE MCDONALDS CHILDREN FOUNDATION THOUGH.
BIG UPS TO BEYONCE – PERFECTION ALL AROUND!!!
this woman is played out her album b-day sucked shes so fake not interested in this whore
shes so fake
Why in the hell do people keep bringing up what other celebs have done….Im sure they’ve done good work (i.e. A-Keys)…but maybe not work with the childrens hospital. Why is it so hard to believe that Beyonce can be talented, beautiful, and giving???
Uh…huh…I’m sure the CD will be out soon…
“Wot the Fuckery is she wearing!!”
She’s trying to look classy….
“Most women can really learn something from Beyonce. No joke. She is ultra mega successful and still manages to be down-to-earth and have a husband. SO all you women complaining about men being “intimidated” need to study your girl. It’s how you carry yourself, not what you have.”
Whatever….
Down to earth? More like submissive(which is fine). To each his own,but Beyonce is HUMAN. She’s a chicken head with money…AND? These celebrities are the most materialistic people out there. There is nothing they can teach me. I’ve got role models(real people-not some booty shaking uneducated child that was LUCKY enough to get in the business). Thanks MOM and DAD.
