Beyonce 32? It's Just a Bad Dream, Girl

Posted Dec 8th 2006 5:15PM by TMZ Staff

The Internet has been ringing with the alarming news that Beyonce Knowles is 32 years old, and not, as she's claimed all along, 25. TMZ did a little digging -- and we've got the definitive answer.

Celeb gossip site MediaTakeOut.com claimed earlier this week to have a document from the Texas Department of Health proving that the pop princess was born September 4, 1974, making her 32. But an authoritative source in Texas tells TMZ that the authenticity of that document could not be confirmed, that the document wasn't an official birth record, and that 1974 is definitely not Beyonce's b-day.

We also put in a call to the High School of the Visual and Performing Arts in Houston, which Beyonce attended, and they told us that she was a student from 1997-2000. If she was born in 1974, that would mean she attended high school from age 23 on. Beyonce might be gullible (at least enough to be ambushed by PETA), but high school at 23? We don't think so.

Beyonce's rep said she had "no idea" how the faux-age rumor began or why it was disseminated. Mediatakeout.com says that they have "thoroughly inspected" the posted document and that it looks "very real."

61. Why does people always assume that because I black person is light skinned with light eyes that they HAD to have bleached their skin? give me a break! and for the record, michael has a skin disease as there are a a few skin diseases that lightens your skin. i wonder if he was white that had skin that darkens would anyone say that he was trying to be black? hell no.

62. i was just reading the article and had no idea people were actually spending time looking up B's age. you all have got to find better things to do with your time. i mean seriously- who cares how old she is

63. Ah Ha!! I knew it!! I new she was fibbing about her age all along. But she still looks good. 25, 32 or 57 (added together) that girl got it going on.

BTW--what are nalgas? Is it some kind of femal body part?

64. 25 or 32 Beyonce is still a very talented singer and that's why she has so many fans not because of how old she is. it seems like someone got jealous of her sucess and wanted to rain on her parade. let her enjoy her hard work

65. There are too many other detective sites that say she's 32. I believe she's 32. The Knowles lies are beginning to unravel. The High School of the Visual and Performing Arts isn't the only one Beyonce attended. Why is it that no one at Alief Elsik speaks up? Look up Blanche Jose and you will find Beyonce's real age.

66. #20 your comment is so silly. There's always somebody on the internet that claims they went to school with Beyonce but nobody can tell us a damn thing about how she behaved in class, what type of student she was, who her friends were, how she got to school, etc. I mean come on. Anyway, Beyonce attended Welch Middle School not High School so you couldn't possibly have gone to high school with her.

67. This information was taken from mediatakeout.com. This particular website has been known for its false newscasts, including claims that Ashanti was pregnant and Teena Marie died in a car crash. If this were true, I would at least hope that the story would come from a more reputable source.

68. People care..because Beyonce has a "mightier than thou" attitude. She has always tried to show how "comfortable" she is with herself. It is pathetic when someone who calls herself a "star" has to be so fabricated. She is really not a postive role mode if she felt she has to lie about her age.

That is why it matters.

70. She is 32. Go to intelius.com (free for this purpose) Do a search for Beyonce Knowles. There is more than one Beyonce Knowles, but only one shows relatives with the names of Matthew and Tina-Beyonce's parents. Beyonce is listed as 32 years old.

71. You can also look up peoplefinder.com and it says she is 32 AND one that says she 25! She's a liar! Do you really think her daddy would approve of her dating a man that is 40 if she was 25???

72. i hope she is 32, because if shes not i really hate to see what she looks like in 7yrs when she supposedly will really be 32. she is a very hard looking beautiful woman....she really looks old compared to paris, britney and other well known 25yr olds

73. This doesn't even make sense... if she was attending high school from 1997 to 2000 that would STILL mean she started high school when she was 16 or 17.

Apparently I am only a year older than the alleged age of Beyonce... but I was graduating high school in 1997.

Talk about being held behind a few years.

Does this photo really look like a freshman/soph in high school? (from the 1998 release)

however again I am wondering why I even care... (ehem... a bit bored anyone?) aaaannnyway...

74. She has the body of an older woman. If she wasen't famous her ass/thighs would be HUGE.

Posted at 8:23PM on Dec 9th 2006 by She is a B!TCH in person

75. Her weave makes her. She wasen't as cute when she started with her nasty, ratty, black hair. Once she went lighter and got a wig it made her attractive. Still, she always looks mature so she probally is 32. The other two in Destiny Child's look like men.
