Beyonce: "I'm Just Jealous That I Wasn't Born Latina"

BeyonceRing the alarm! Buttastic Beyonce -- who is up for "Female Artist of the Year" at the VMAs -- tells Latina Magazine, "I'm just jealous that I wasn't born Latina. I wish I had been because the culture is so beautiful." If Beyonce is going to attempt to voice an original thought, perhaps she should write it down and read it first!

Bey may have put her high-heeled foot in her mouth with this one! Somebody let this woman know that appreciating a culture is great, but actually wishing (and perhaps morphing) yourself into it is a little annoying. The sultry singer goes on to say, "
I noticed a big difference between speaking to all of the Latino stations and speaking to the pop stations or the other stations. With the Latino stations, there was so much love and everyone is so genuine." Is anyone listening out there? Hola?!

Where was Beyonce's mother, Ms. Tina, or even Jay-Z when this was going on?! From now on this girl needs a chaperone to monitor all statements! Her booty is legendary, but she shouldn't speak out of it.

11. The best part of my day is reading comments - where you can call someone else dumb and say "doorkobs" in the same sentence. I am so glad I am AMERICAN lol but we really should start being more selective.

14. Who in the world wants to be like Brittany?? Her white skin makes no better than the next pop tart out there. Beyonce is one short of a six pact BUT she isnt running around going back and forth into rehab, she doesnt have children by a loser like K-Fed and puts them in danger by driving around with them in her lap.
