Beyonce Egypt Show Called “Insolent Sex Party” By Islamic Conservatives
CAIRO — As Egypt gears for pop diva Beyonce Knowles’ first performance in North Africa, Islamic conservatives are branding her show an “insolent sex party” that threatens the Muslim nation’s “social peace and stability.” On giant posters plastered across the Egyptian capital advertising the Friday evening concert, Beyonce sports a revealing, flame-covered outfit and grips a set of motorcycle handlebars extending from her hips – a sharp contrast to Cairo streets, where most women wear the traditional Muslim headscarves. TV ads promoting the show, part of Beyonce’s “I Am …” world tour, have run on Egyptian and Arab satellite stations. The tour, which also took Beyonce to the United Arab Emirates last week, had grossed $53.5 million as of October, according to Billboard magazine. But in Egypt, Islamic lawmakers and their supporters have waged campaigns on social networking Web sites, accusing the government of encouraging debauchery and calling for the concert’s cancellation. “Why are you encouraging this insolent sex party?” lawmaker Hamdi Hassan from the opposition Muslim Brotherhood wrote in a letter to the government. “You are accused of disturbing social peace and stability, encouraging vice and debauchery.” Another Islamic lawmaker, Ali Laban, called for banning the “nudity concert.” A Facebook campaign against Beyonce’s concert collected nearly 10,000 supporters.

Shaq and Shaunie Get Ready for their Divorce and a Reality Show
Before Shaunie got some common sense and filed for divorce, her and Shaq were pitching a reality show to a couple of networks. We hear that one of those networks is thinking about picking it up. Shaq and Shaunie’s show was modeled after other married couple shows such as MTV’s Newlyweds, but unlike most couple reality shows, Shaq and Shaunie split up before the show even got started. Even with divorce as a factor, we hear A&E is still debating on picking up the show, and with the two being in talks of divorce, it may up the ratings. The show obviously isn’t taping anymore now that the two have gone separate ways, so we’ll have to see how it all plays out. Via Bossip
