Beyonce Ambushed By PETA Members

Yahoo! Music, Jun 19, 2006 4:00 pm PDT
Singer/actress Beyonce, her mother and business partner Tina Knowles, and sister Solange thought they were going to sit down to a nice dinner with a couple of contest winners at Manhattan hotspot Nobu last week. Instead, they wound up ambushed by a pair of anti-fur crusaders.

The House Of Dereon fashion founders were told that their Thursday night dinner guests were winners of an eBay auction for VH1's Save the Music Foundation. It turns out the pair were also hidden-camera-carrying members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), who within minutes of ordering their meals struck up a discussion about the use of fur in Beyonce's clothing line.

One woman began badgering the Knowles about methods of animal slaughter, and then pulled out a portable DVD player to show the women a tape of Pamela Anderson's attack on the fur industry, which features graphic footage. At that point Mama Knowles pulled the plug and asked them to leave, and they were escorted out of the restaurant by security.

The whole bizarre incident was captured in a three-minute tape that can be viewed on TMZ.com.

Meanwhile, Beyonce's new single "Deja Vu" featuring Jay-Z should be hitting radio this month. The track is from her second solo album B'Day, due September 5.
