While many people have been obsessing over Beyonce's recent cover on GQ, her tell-all cover story in the latest issue of Vogue and her upcoming HBO documentary "Life Is But A Dream," there are some critics who are causing a stir by taking shots at the superstar diva. Leave it to real estate mogul and media-hungry TV personality Donald Trump to bash the singer's highly acclaimed Super Bowl halftime performance.
Last week, "The Apprentice" star called into the "Howard Stern Show" to discuss an array of topics. When the subject of Beyonce came up, The Donald didn't waste any time before criticizing her electrifying performance at Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans. According to him, her 12 minute over-the-top mini-concert was too "suggestive" and "inappropriate."
"When Beyoncé was thrusting her hips forward in a very suggestive manner," Trump told Stern, "if someone else would have done that it would have been a national scandal. I thought it was ridiculous... I thought it was not appropriate...."
Despite his disapproval, Trump acknowledged that he is one of the few media critics to bash King Bey's performance. "There's been no mention of it. So, obviously, it must not have been so bad. She gets a pass."
Beyonce told reporters that she worked on her high energy routine for five months. Her flawless performance also included guest appearances from Destiny's Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, special effects and a stage shaped in the singer's image.
With a net worth of $2.9 billion and an annual salary of $60 million, you would think that Trump would be preoccupied with other things to criticize.
