Beyonce arrived at LAX yesterday minus her hubby, but looking fresh and well rested.  Word on the street is that she has been in the studio working on a new project with none other than Nappy Boy T-Pain, himself.

Rapper T-Pain just gave the eco-friendly Ford Flex some major street cred. T-Pain took delivery of his Flex from Maroone Ford of Miami this past week. Best of all, he pulled up to the dealership in his Lamborghini, huge bodyguard in tow, and said he had been eagerly awaiting the vehicle to come out and was insistent on a black on black Limited Edition with every option. After locating the vehicle, the salesperson personally delivered it to T-Pain’s Miami Beach recording studio, where none other than Beyonce was in the house. The Ford Flex marks vehicle no. 27 in his vehicle collection. (Source)

Beyonce also seems unfazed by media accusations that her Loreal ads were lightened to make her appear Caucasian…and Loreal has issued an official statement on the matter.  More flix, the controversial advertisement and Loreal’s statement under the cut:

In a statement released to the AP, the Paris based cosmetics company said: “We highly value our relationship with Ms. Knowles. It is categorically untrue that L’Oreal Paris altered Ms. Knowles’ features or skin tone in the campaign for Feria hair color.”

I believe them…I really do.  Bey often looks light in some pictures and darker in others.  It’s all in the lighting.  What should be more disturbing than her skin color is the hair that Loreal is trying to portray as hers…when we all know a lacefront when we see one.  I bet they never issue a statement on that.
