Beyonce Dodges Lawsuit

Beyonce Knowles plays a secret agent in “Austin Power’s Goldmember.” Looks like her “Foxy Cleopatra” skills came in handy in the real world as well. Knowles has been saved from a $1.5 million lawsuit, and she couldn’t be happier.

Greg Walker of Icon Entertainment was suing the bootylicious singer and her mom Tina for $1.5 million. He claimed that they did not pay his commission for arranging the $15 million deal for their House of Dereon fashion line.

Unfortunately for Walker, the judge did not see things the same way. Despite his measly $110,000 earnings for the deal, Walker will not receive any more money from the Knowles. Justice Herman Cahn tossed out the case in the absence of any evidence of a written contract.

Beyonce is now freed up to worry about a Hepatitis A scare. Apparently, at a Sports Illustrated party in Hollywood, there was a cook that was infected with the virus. Her spokesperson Alan Nierob said: “Thank goodness neither one of us ate. According to the health department, she wasn’t at risk.”

They keep lobbing them up, and Beyonce keeps knocking them out of the park.
