Beyonce $4.7M Deal With L'Oreal
www.WildWritings.com
MSN ENTERTAINMENT reports "The Smoking Gun reveal the Grammy-winning star will pocket $4.7 million from her five-year contract with L'Oreal, which obliges her to toil less than two weeks per year. According to the terms of the endorsement deal, Beyonce, 22, must report to work 10 days annually for photo shoots, promotional stops, and personal appearances. The company also has an option for two additional days of Beyonce's valuable time, but it must cough up $25,000 daily for the privilege.
Beyonce must notably avoid going anywhere near products bearing the name
Revlon or Clairol. The most humiliating stipulation: L'Oreal has the right to "periodically monitor the condition" of the singer's hair, though it will generously give her two weeks notice before conducting the strand inspection.

50 Cent A Bigger Diva Than Mariah?
www.WildWritings.com
THE SUN reports "WHEN 50 CENT comes to town, expect some pretty hefty backstage demands. The rapper’s “want list” runs to a whopping 30 pages and
puts stars like MARIAH CAREY — the world’s most demanding diva — to shame. The US rapper’s dressing room food and drink orders alone take the biscuit. There has to be a dozen assorted cookies, two buckets of KFC chicken, six corn on the cob, a case of beer, two gallons of milk, four gallons of juice and two loafs of bread (one white, one brown). And that’s just the beginning. He then specifies gut-busting banquets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. After his nosh, Fiddy needs to relax to let all that food settle down — so he wants sofas, padded chairs, 12 fluffy bath towels and “immaculate” loos."

Olsen Twins $7.3M Dorm Room
www.WildWritings.com
THE NEW YORK TIMES reports "Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are not most college freshman. The 18-year-old mini-moguls are heading to New York University next month and opted instead to live in "the world's biggest dorm room."
The recently reunited twins will experience university life from the comfort of their $7.3 million Greenwich Village penthouse condo. The 5,725-square-foot crib was originally four separate units, which the sisters are combining into one palatial pad that, when finished sometime this fall, will be big enough to host the entire class of 2008.
Each twin will have a wing that boasts a master bedroom, study, and a bathroom with walk-in closet. One will enjoy views of lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty, while the other will drink in the cityscape from the Village to the Empire State Building. Other perks include such standard teen fare as a screening room, two guest bedrooms, and a couple extra bathrooms.
"They love the apartment," the pocket-sized pair's publicist tells the Times. "They love the view."
And when the sisters return to their native California, the girls can kick back at their brand spankin' new Bel Air mansion, which Ashley found while Mary-Kate was in rehab. 'Us' reports the $3.7 million modern, gated glass-walled property has four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a pool, and media room, along with the requisite views of L.A. and the Pacific."

Beyonce Injured At Dance Rehearsal; Some Of Destiny's Child's Plans Delayed
MTV
They only recently reunited, but already fate delivered Destiny's Child a slight setback when Beyoncé injured her leg during a dance rehearsal.
The singer tore her right hamstring while practicing dance moves in Los Angeles Tuesday for an upcoming TV special with fellow group members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, according to The Associated Press. She was treated by a private sports-injury specialist who advised her to avoid dancing and other demanding physical activity for about a week.
A spokesperson for the group told the AP that some of the trio's plans would be delayed until Beyoncé's leg heals.
"She overdid it," Columbia Records spokesperson Yvette Noel-Shure said. "We're all keeping our fingers crossed that, because she's young and healthy, it heals fast. There are a lot of things in place that we may have to shift. Not the album, which is finished, but side [appearances]. We'll know more after a week."
One of the projects that could be postponed is the group's planned video shoot for its first single, "Lose My Breath," which went to radio earlier this month. Destiny's Child were slated to start shooting on October 8 in Los Angeles with director Marc Klasfeld, but whether or not that will continue as scheduled remains to be seen — label rep Michelle Welch said that they're currently waiting to find out.
The group has completed its first album in three years, Destiny Fulfilled, which will hit stores on November 16.
