SPOTTED: BEYONCE & TINA SHOP FOR SHOES IN LONDON + INFO ON THE MATHEW KNOWLES ALLEGATIONS

Beyonce and her mother Tina Knowles were spotted shopping for shoes in a department store in London on Monday afternoon (July 11). The star is currently rocking a lot of stages around Europe (VIEW PICS & VIDEO).

In related news, two months after it was announced that Beyonce dropped her father Mathew Knowles as her manager, TMZ is reporting that Papa Knowles has filed documents defending himself against accusations that he stole lumps of money from his daughter’s estate:

According to the docs, Mathew claims Live Nation told Beyonce that Mathew “had stolen money from Beyonce on her most recent tour or otherwise taken funds that [he] was not entitled to.”

Mathew claims Live Nation was effective, because Beyonce had her law firm conduct an audit, and the law firm concluded Mathew had indeed pilfered money from her. Beyonce then fired him.

Mathew claims after he was canned, Beyonce hired a manager who had worked as a former exec at Live Nation and maintained a relationship with the company.

Mathew insists the theft accusations by Live Nation are false, and he wants the judge to give him the right to take depositions of various people at Live Nation, to determine just how they concluded he was a thief. [Source]

Mathew Knowles also claims Live Nation Entertainment wanted their hands in Beyonce’s 2011 world tour money by any means necessary. No word from Beyonce’s camp in regards to whether this is true…

MAGAZINE FEATURE: SELITA EBANKS TALKS LOVE, MUSIC & MORE IN FHM UK

Supermodel Selita Ebanks is featured in FMH UK magazine’s August 2011 issue. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel talked about role as a phoenix in Kanye West’s mini-movie, her shoe collection and how to capture her heart:

On playing the Phoenix in Kanye West’s Runaway film:
It was such a strange character that it was almost like an out of body experience. It was also very stressful. Partly because we filmed 21 hours a day and partly because Kanye’s vision was so out of the box that the video was a real hit or miss idea. I did not want to be the reason it became a miss.

On her skimpy outfit in the mini-movie:
Yeah, it wasn’t very substantial, but to be honest I didn’t really worry about it, as I was more concerned about the character and I am really free spirited about my body. For me the most nerve-wracking thing about the outfit was persuading my grandmother that I was actually wearing something, as since the feathers were nude she thought I was naked.

On hanging out with Kanye outside of work:
He hangs with me, darling. I’m only kidding. Our schedules mean we don’t see a lot of each other, but we had dinner at the Cannes Film Festival. It was good to catch up about work and his album.

On her shoe collection:
I stopped counting a long time ago. I don’t want to sound pretentious, but I reckon I have over 300 pairs. I do donate some to charity, but others I’ve had for over ten years and love so much I simply can’t let go.

On how to win her heart:
Let me tell you something. If a guy bought me a limited edition of the fiercest, highest heels straight from the runway then I would be in love so yes, shoes are the quickest way to win me over. Absolutely. [Read more]
