Getting Bootylicious Can Be Hazardous to Your Health

Recent concert attendees at a performance of pop star, Beyonce Knowles, ended up in the hospital when they got the brunt of a pyrotechnical snafu in their front row seats during a show over the weekend. Minor injuries were reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for the two concertgoers, however, Beyonce still took it upon herself to surprise them at the hospital with an impromptu visit in the emergency room at the Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

The hospital’s head nurse told the paper, “[Beyonce] was just very concerned about the people injured in the audience…I just thought it was a great thing for someone of her stature to do.”

Beyonce’s publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, tells Usmagazine.com, “The story is true. Beyonce went to the hospital. They [audience members] were in very good condition last night.”

Now, that seems mighty human of B. But I must take issue with her because just the other day, I was dancing to “Crazy in Love” in my apartment and stubbed my toe something fierce. As much as I wailed with all of the strength of my nearly thirty-year-old being, she never answered my cries of, “Why God? Why me?” I just…don’t understand.

More photos of Beyonce in concert are after the jump.

    “[Beyonce] was just very concerned about the people injured in the audience…I just thought it was a great thing for someone of her stature to do.”

    TRANSLATION:

    “Beyonce was…ABSOLUTELY FREAKING OUT THAT SHE WOULD BE SLAPPED WITH A JILLION-DOLLAR LAWSUIT, SO SHE HUSTLED OVER TO THE HOSPITAL TO QUICKLY ADMINISTER SOME DAMAGE CONTROL! GIRLFRIEND CAN’T AFFORD TO LOOSE ANY MONEY CAUSE SHE’S GOT TO KEEP THE.. DIVA… THING GOING…”

    Wow,she’s really looking plastic lately. Bored, uninspired, going through the motions, plastic. Honestly.

    And while I think there might be a genuine emotion in the visits you just know those people are thinking KA-fucking-CHING!

    She just really isn’t all that and a bag of chips and it’s time for her to take a hiatus. IMO, natch.
