Sources tell the site that the singer is planning to record a bunch of videos at once and is dealing directly with the hipshakers.

By cutting out agents and managers, Beyonce is apparently getting one heck of a deal.

The star is not breaking any union rules and while some dancers have decided against doing it, there are plenty who are happy to take the mainstream gig.

The average wage for appearing in a high-profile music video is about 3,000 US dollars.

And while the production company will pay some agency fees, those appearing with Beyonce will not get that much.

The diva has yet to comment on the story, which some industry types say destroys the normal balance of the dance biz.

Victoria Beckham recently opted for a slick bob after saying she "got sick" of her long hair extensions.

Former Destiny’s Child star Beyonce wore a shimmering sequinned dress by designer Elie Saab at last night’s British premiere in London’s Leicester Square.

Dreamgirls is based on the rise of 60s girl group the Supremes and Beyonce plays Deena, said to be a thinly-disguised Diana Ross.

Beyonce famously lost over a stone in 10 days for the role thanks to a drastic diet which saw her drink only maple syrup mixed with lemon juice and water.

Temperatures in London were plunging towards zero, but the 25-year-old braved the cold in her strapless gown.

"I’m not wearing it for long and it’s worth the pain," she said.

Dreamgirls is based on the rise of Sixties girl group the Supremes and Beyonce plays Deena, said to be a thinly-disguised Diana Ross.

Ross was rumoured to be unhappy with the film, but Beyonce said: "I’ve met Diana Ross and she is one of the nicest women in the world. She came up to me and said if I ever needed anything, just to let her know."

The singer was joined at the premiere by co-star Jennifer Hudson, whose character, Effie, is the most talented singer but is pushed out of the picture by the more attractive Deena.

In real life, however, the role has been reversed.
