The Word: Beyonce singing scandal erupts

If you are one of the millions who thought that Beyonce trumped Kelly Clarkson’s vocal prowess at Monday’s inauguration, you should know a little secret: Beyonce might have lip-synced over a recording of “The Star Spangled Banner.”

The Internet was abuzz with a much-circulated story that a spokesperson (who has probably since been fed to the wolves) from the Marine Corp Band, which backed Beyonce (Beyonsync? Hackonce?), said that the singer decided at the “last minute to go with the prerecorded version.”

Lip-sync? Beyonce? Girlfriend ripped out her ear piece and then went on to nail it! If her removing her earpiece was indeed just a  touch in order to fool us, her acting ability is much better than what we saw in “Austin Powers in Goldmember.” 

Crow speaks out about Armstrong

Lance Armstrong’s ex-fiancee, Sheryl Crow, is speaking out about the cyclist’s admission that he doped, saying it would have been tough for him to keep it a secret much longer. “I think that honesty is always the best bet and that the truth will set you free,” she tells “Entertainment Tonight.” “To carry around a weight like that would be devastating in the long run.”
