Beyonce's dad, Matthew Knowles, is still missing in action. Knowles was the forced behind Destiny's Child and Beyonce's career. He created Sanctuary Records and had a roster of artists. But, a few weeks ago, trouble came to paradise when Beyonce got word her dad was up to no good with one of her background dancers. Apparently, Matthew had tried to hit on the girl and when she refused his advances, he threatened to fire her. The dancer went to Beyonce and revealed all, and that's when Beyonce put her foot down. She had put up with his behavior for far too long, and she had him replaced as the manager of the group and herself. Matthew is an admitted sex and drug addict, and he has been cheating on his wife for years. Sources believe he is on a binge right now, and, out of embarrassment, he is hiding.

In other Tyra news, she is shaking things up on the set of America's Next Top Model. Former Supermodel Janice Dickerson is out and 60's Fashion Icon Twiggy is in. Tyra and Janice did not get along. When Janice starting making money demands, she was shown the door. Janice not only looked harsh (too much plastic surgery), she was very harsh on the contestants. Sometimes, she was downright cruel. She didn't like any of the women who were picked as Top Model winners. Tyra was getting sick of her act, and made the change. The new season of America's Next Top Model kicks off in September. The same time as her new daytime talker is unveiled. Tyra is going to be one busy lady. As for Janice Dickerson, she will be starring in the new installment of the VH1 reality series, The Surreal Life. On this one, Janice butts heads with Omarosa of Apprentice fame, and they almost come to blows. In a preview scene, it looks like Janice is going to stab her. In other Top Model news, Eva Pigford, the winner from season two, is finding that her career is not taking off as promised. She was recently replaced as the face of Rapper Nelly's clothing line, Apple Bottoms.

That is disgusting about Beyonce's dad because I'm pretty sure that the dancers are about the same age as his daughters. That's just nasty

I'm glad that Janice is off of the show. She is not pretty and had a nasty attitude, IMO. She seemed bitter, probably because the plastic surgeon won't refund any of her money.
