Beyonce's Beef is a Family Affair

Beyonce's not creating the supposed catfight with "Dreamgirls" costar Jennifer Hudson – her daddy Matthew is.

As E!'s Marc Malkin reports, during the filming of "Dreamgirls," the ever-overbearing Matthew tried to sign Hudson as a management client, only to rebuffed by the former "American Idol" contestant. Despite her rejection, Matthew went around telling people he'd been representing the breakout star.

What's more, after an early screening, both Matthew and B's mom (Tina) flipped over Hudson's screen time, arguing with writer/director Bill Condon that the flick needed to be recut and include more B and less J -- Condon refused.

Of course it's not the first time Matthew has gone ballistic over Beyonce. Back in June, when TMZ posted video of PETA confronting Beyonce over her fondness for fur, Matthew tried just about everything in his quiver to get it taken down. It didn't work.

303. Well, given the history of the Knowles' family, I would never put anything past them. Let's see, they kicked out members from Destiny's Child. They paid Solange for work that she did not do (i.e. being a backup dancer for Destiny's Child). Not to mention, they tried to cover up Solange's promiscuity, by having a shotgun wedding when she was already pregnant. Furthermore, Matthew went on propelling Beyonce into the spotlight and leaving poor Kelly Rowland to fend for herself. And to think they refer to Kelly as their daughter. Yeah right! No wonder Jennifer Hudson passed on signing with Matthew Knowles. Look at Kelly's career! Beyonce does not seem genuine. I could totally see her wanting all the spotlight!

305. I think in spite of everything else Beyounce has talent and she will be okay no matter what the public thinks. Anything else that is going on with her mother and father is personal, who cares. Beyounce do your thing Girl!

308. First of all B's mother and father gave up a lot to full fill a dream that they all must have had.... Of, course he is out there running things heck someone has to .. Everyone, that has made it had to have someone in their camp that was a Joe Jackson or Matthew not to say that it is right or necessary but it's the reality... B is an okay singer I personally feel that she is way over rated and it's because of her beauty, body and how she plays it up... B is definetly not an actress we must all admit that... She might have been nominated but there was no chance in hell that she would ever win...not for acting... Now, with singing and how they can help you out in studios she has a bigger chance of winning music awards... You can't do anything magic for a person who simply can not act..... B has said a lot of things about herself that she said not her father so B has to take the fall for those things (check out number 5 for more details, I heard her say these things).. Jennifer can blow with or without a studio.... Jennifer can also act... That's why she is winning every award that she has been up for......

I WAS HEARING THE RUMORS THAT YOU WERE NOT HAPPY WITH JENNIFER GETTING ALL THE ATTENTION. YOU ARE BEYOUNCE, WHY SHOULD YOU WORRY. IT'S NOT LIKE SHE GOING TO TAKE JAY-Z FROM YOU LIKE RHIANNA WILL. TRY GETTING SOME MORE TALENT. YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR AND THE WORLD OF MUSIC BUT AND THE WORLD OF ACTING JENNIFER GOT YOU. JENNIFER YOU KEEP DOING YOUR THING, AND I'M GLAD YOU DIDN'T SIGN WITH HIM.

310. You can say all you want about Beyonce, but one thing is for certain she sounds great live.

To me she comes across as compassionate.

No one can get a good feeling from being overshadowed.

Yes, I agree, it's Jennifer's time to shine.

To all of haters out there who sallivate over entertainers who have to take a step back to let new blood rize to the top, I say, get your asses out there and give it a shot.

Oh! What's the matter? Ain't got no talent? Yeah! I though so.

Stop hatin' and start participatin'.

311. I would have to say that I think the world is kind of getting tired of B. She needs to find something else to do - her father too. I mean, come on folks there are as many other beautiful singing artist out there that needs to get recognize. Ms. B has had her time - move over and let someone else get notice.
