Beyonce says she’s not a diva all the time

Despite about a billion reports to the contrary, Beyonce claims she’s not that big of a diva. In fact, she wants us to believe that she prefers spend her time at home, kicking back in her sweats and watching reruns on T.V. And I absolutely buy every bit of it. Wait. No. But here’s what she wants you to believe.

Beyonce hates being called a diva – and is keen to let everyone know that she is actually really laid back and relaxed.

The former Destiny’s Child star – who married rapper Jay-Z in a secret ceremony early last year – says her favorite past time is to sit in front of the TV watching re-runs of the Cosby Show and Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

She reveals, “I’m not this round the clock diva looking for attention. I’m way more comfortable out of the spotlight and just chilling out with my family.

“I’m very quiet. I love to paint. I love to watch TV though it seems I never get to do it.

“I love a lot old television shows. I still love the Cosbys. I also love the Fresh Prince.”

Best case scenario, Beyonce is admitting she’s a diva except for when she’s home. I think diva behavior is indicative of a lack of true class. And Beyonce’s been a major one lately – even telling the U.S. Secret Service what to do. During the inauguration, she insisted they make an exception to their barricade rules and let her car come pick her up so she wouldn’t have to walk four blocks in the cold. Does that sound like the behavior of a woman who isn’t a diva? Who prefers to just quietly chill and spend a low-key evening vegging out? I don’t think so. It sounds to me like someone who’s high maintenance under any condition. But nice try.

Here’s Beyonce at the Golden Globes on the 11th. Images thanks to WENN.

    Just like Dolly Parton doesn’t wear wigs all the time…but we never see Dolly out in public without one, do we?

  2. Baholicious says:

    Wait a minute, we never see Beyon-ka-donk out in public without a wig either…but Dolly has truckloads of intelligence, personality, wit and a real woman’s kinda class. All Bey has is her ‘Diva’ dish-rag to wring.

  3. seven says:

    I like her hair but that dress is fug. Looks like she got wrapped in a wicker chair… hugs all the wrong places.

  4. Sauronsarmy says:

    Well, I say Beyonce is an A*HOLE ALL THE TIME. And that dress is ugly and “your” hair looked stupid.

  5. vdantev says:

    Why just the other day, she drank ordinary tap water from a glass that wasn’t 100% imported French lead crystal with 24 gold leaf trim- just like the rest of us peasants.

  6. california angel says:

    I don’t have anything against her and I think she is beautiful, but I am still puzzled as to why she is such a big deal in the music industry. I’m sorry, but her voice makes me want to scratch a chalkboard for relief.

  7. Tia says:

    Baholicious, good post..lol

    I dont get why she wears soooooo much weave. I mean OMG she must have problems holding her head up. I wonder what she would look like with her own short broken damaged hair, I am guessing not too good. She also needs Jenny Craig.. not many divas need that..lol

  8. babygrl says:

    Honestly when her song “single ladies” comes on the radio it her voice infuriates me so much I want to beat my radio. Between that and Britney Spears “Womanizer” the radio is not fit to listen to anymore. I agree that I too cannot understand why she is so big in the music biz…her voice drives me crazy…I can’t stand her warbling. It is shameful what passes for talent today.

  9. okay... says:

    Completely overrated in my opinion.

  10. deka says:

    she’s full of it
    purposely trying to change her image when just last month she told elle magazine she was raised upper class
    see my site for posts of how much i dislike this woman

  11. Ter says:

    Her upper class must have dropped out her lower a** when she was grinding on stage ’cause this girl shouts “let me upgrade – to pole dancer”.

  12. Lisa says:

    O_o i was going to say the complete opposite to what seven said. i think the dress is gorgeous, but her hair ruins it.

  13. Ned says:

    Was does being “quiet” or watching TV has to do with her being a diva?

    Does she think that because she watches TV that makes her general behavior seen better?

    I remember when she kicked out 2 members of the group that brought her fame and fortune- so they can make more money.

    A “Diva” is an understatement.

  14. RAN says:

    Amen California Angel – I completely agree with your post

  15. Ned says:

    I agree that her singing is a bit on the loud side and I have no idea as to why she is a big deal in the music business.

    RAN and California Angel- I’m with you on that one.

  16. Baholicious says:

    The song blows. Oh but better late than never props for “discovering” Bhangra. She’s so cutting edge, isn’t she? Whatever.

  17. daisy424 says:

    Still not buying it.

  18. boomchakaboom says:

    Ah, Baho, you would bring up Dolly. That country ass woman has more class in one tiny wig hair than Beyonce ever dreamed of having. Lord knows Dolly wasn’t raised “upper class” but she was raised WITH class, and is an absolute national treasure. She’s an icon. She would have sashayed those 4 blocks in her 6 inch heels with style and made it look easy. Hell, she would’ve made a one woman parade out of it. Beyonce will be nothing but a, well, actually nothing at all in the history books. Dolly? She’ll always be the one woman who combined talent, sheer brass with class, and made it work.

  19. Baholicious says:

    Boom, who DOESN’T love Dolly? Who? I challenge them to pistols at dawn!

  20. boomchakaboom says:

    Indeed, Baho. Slap their face with a glove and get it on. Not to mention she managed it all with Dolly for a name!

  21. Dorothy says:

    Dolly is so 1980…

    I can think of 15 more talented and beautiful women who could have sung at the inauguration Why oh why Beyonce???

  22. kimberly says:

    i’m glad she’s not a diva “all the time” b/c she doesn’t have the vocal range to be one at all. While she may be entertaining, her drive to make us all think she’s a “classic hit” that will withstand the test of time is completely wrong.

    Her new CD is luke warm. She seems to always have those annoying girl songs that pretend to give girls indepence from men, but just make the girls singing along seem bitter and ugly on the inside. One song fine, but the continued cycle shows lack of creativity on her part.

    I just can’t stand her whiny music.

  23. chill_with_that says:

    woah you guys need to chill what all that
    listen i dont know everything about beyonce and i havent seen all her interviews but i have deffffinitely listened to her music.
    destiny’s child is by far my favorite group. i miss them. that was some classic stuff there.
    her new cd rocks. shes confident beautiful and gorgeous. and whoever said she can sing really must not know what singing sound like but beyonce can sing unlike so many others. id like to hear you sing.
    and her dress rocks. it really does. anything looks good on her. whether its a fashion mistake or not she looks great.
    her hair looks great too.
    so instead of wasting your time leaving stupid hater comments on her stuff, why dont you just back off because you wont ever be anything close to what she is. an amazing talented person.
    so please
    just chill with that

  24. Baholicious says:

    Destiny’s Child WAS good, I miss them too. Beyonce on her own sucks so hard my rugs are lifting from here…

  25. PETE says:

    IF PEOPLE STOP JUMPING AND MAKING AFUSS OVER THIS PEOPLE ..THEY WILL STOP!!!

    IF THE SECRET SERVICE MEN JUMPED THEN SHAME ON THEM…

    IT’S THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT BUYS INTO THIS DIVA STATUS MESS.

  26. paris herpes says:

    Beyonce is even worse than Mimi… in that dress is a little too tight around her hips and she looks like she’s uncomfortable.

  27. Beyonce says:
