Beyonce failing to sell out? - Mar 14 2007
Beyonce is apparently keen to get her next album out quickly - because she is desperate to flog tickets for her forthcoming
The 25-year-old has been concentrating on acting with her performance in Dreamgirls but it seems the star now thinks she needs to boost her singing career.
"Only 50% of the tickets for her tour have been sold," a source told the Daily Star. "Everyone is surprised. Her team expected them to go straight away, but the fact is they’ve been on sale for months now.
"She’s asked her label to put out a new album in April as she thinks this is the way to remind people what her day job is."
The bootylicious singer’s last album B-Day failed to match the success of previous albums.
"B-Day didn’t meet expectations and it’s being reflected in the tour," the source added.
"Beyonce has been reluctant to do a lot of promotion, which is customary when releasing a record. Unfortunately the approach backfired."
Beyonce in hepatitis alert - Mar 1 2007
Beyonce and a host of top models have been caught up in a hepatitis A scare after a swanky party caterer discovered an employee had the virus.
Guests at Sports Illustrated magazine’s swimsuit issue bash were sent alerts by the LA County Department of Health recommending that if they ate raw food, they should have a vaccination by today.
The cook involved, who had acute hepatitis A, which attacks the liver and can cause fever, diarrhoea and jaundice, but is rarely fatal, is now on medical leave.
Anyone who attended three other events where Wolfgang Puck Catering provided the food between February 14 and 20 have also received the vaccination advice.
Beyonce, who was the special edition’s cover star, was joined at the Valentine’s Day party by catwalk stars including Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend Bar Rafaeli, Veronica Varekova and Marisa Miller, according to People magazine.
The menu offered plenty of uncooked food, including sushi and fresh vegetables. So far there have been no reports of illness.
The infected employee was not involved in any of the Puck-catered Oscar events, including the Governor’s Ball after the Academy Awards.
A spokesman for Beyonce told celebrity news website TMZ.com they were "looking into it".
The party was held in a tented area in the courtyard of the Pacific Design Centre in
Sports Illustrated said: "We are alerting our guests and staff as quickly as possible to ensure they receive the relevant health warnings."

Beyonce’s solo album Dangerously in Love and debut single Crazy in Love shot her to solo stardom and made her one of the most recognised divas in pop. The album won her a record-breaking five Grammy Awards and her single and album also topped the UK and US charts simultaneously.
With a handful of forays on to the big screen Beyonce can also lay claim to the title of Actress. But while Austin Powers in Goldmember might have been a success her follow ups, The Fighting Temptations and The Pink Panther have not had the Oscars beckoning. Whether her part in anticipated music flick Dreamgirls will see a change in opinion remains to be seen.
Rapper Jay-Z has been Beyonce’s long term squeeze since they worked together on his hit single 03 Bonnie & Clyde and are reported to be heading up the aisle soon after the release of her next album B-Day.
