Beyonce Knowles, pop singer and former member of the girl group Destiny’s child had a minor accident during a performance at Florida’s Amway Theatre last month.

While having bragged that she finds dancing in high heels “the easiest thing to do,’ Knowles managed a header down 15 stairs while leaving the stage.

After the incident, the singer asked members of the audience not to release any footage of the accident online. However, one member released footage to a news station and the footage posted on YouTube has been removed and replaced with the following notice: This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Sony BMG.

Ginger Rogers might have been able to dance backwards in high heels but seems like Beyonce needs more practice using them on stairs.

Harry Potter has been surrounded by strong female companions throughout the books and films. The girls that play those characters are strong and interesting in and of themselves. Let’s take a look at who they are:

Emma Watson, who plays one of Harry Potter’s best pals Hermione Granger, is a rising starlet. With no prior acting experience, other than school plays, she was cast in one of the 3 main roles in the Harry Potter series at the tender age of 11. Born in Paris, France, Emma and her family moved to Oxford, England when she was 5. An avid sports fan, her music interests range from Eric Clapton to Eminem and U2. She also brags about being a Shrek fanatic.

In July of 2007, Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, her fellow Harry Potter castmates, cast their hand, foot and wand imprints outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Watson is estimated to have amassed a $20.3 million fortune from her role as Hermione and is contracted to finish out her role in the last 2 movies.

Bonnie Wright, who plays Ginny Weasley was born in London , England. The 16 year-old actress also had no prior acting experience outside school. Her role of Ginny was only a small one in the first Potter movie, Harry and the Philosopher’s Stone but became a focus in the 2nd one, Harry and The Chamber of Secrets, when a powerful diary begins to seize her soul and consciousness. Again in the 3rd movie, she had a minor role, with only 1 line of dialogue but in the following 2 movies her part has expanded significantly. Ginny is written as a smart, patient young girl with a crush on Harry who is willing to wait for him to grow up and “see” her.

Evanna Lynch, who plays Luna Lovegood, was born in Termonfeckin, Ireland. It is rumored that as a younger child she constantly wrote J.K. Rowlling and once bemoaned how she would love to have a part in a Harry Potter film but that nothing happened where she lived. Rowling is said to have written back and said, “Don’t be too hard on Termonfeckin; it does have a brilliant name! And I come from a very sleepy place”. It was announced that Lynch beat out nearly 15,000 other girls for the role of Luna in an open casting call that her father had taken her to in London.

The character of Luna is the anti-Hermione. Where Hermione needs facts to form her beliefs, Luna goes on faith. She’s odd, appears flighty and thus somewhat of an outcast at Hogwart’s. She is however, very intelligent and extremely loyal. She becomes another of Harry’s good and trusted friends.

Katie Leung, a native of Scotland, plays Cho Chang. Cho has the honour of being the first girl that Harry crushes on and that he kisses. She also has the dishonour of being the one that betrays Dumbeldore’s Army, though under magical influence it is later found out. In the books, however, it is not Cho but her friend Marietta that is the betrayer. Leung doubts that she will be back for any future films as her role is severely diminished in the books and so much of those books needs to be cut out for films.

All in all Harry Potter is surrounded by some amazing girls in his battle against evil. More importantly, Daniel Radcliffe is surrounded and supported by a young female ensemble that is second to none.

It was just announced that the wedding between multi-platinum artist and his fiancee, Tameka Foster has been called off.

In a press release to A.P. Usher’s publicist said that the scheduled wedding would not be taking place and she hoped “the privacy of the matter would be respected.”

Usher and Foster are expecting their first child together in this fall and had become engaged since earlier this year.

The was no word if Usher and Foster are still engaged or if they still remain a couple.

Giselle Bundchen, Brazilian supermodel, is at the top of Forbe’s List of the world’s richest models. Bundchen is estimated to have earned over $33M over the last 12 months.

Bundchen is currently the face of at least 20 international brands. Gisele’s debut was on the cover of the July 1999 Vogue issue and she graced the cover again in November, December and January, 2000 being the one of the few models to grace the cover 3 consecutive months.

Until May of this year, Bundchen was a Victoria’s Secret model but it is rumored that she did not return because the company would not increase her $5M a year salary.

Gisele has also branched out into film having roles in the films “taxi” and “The Devil Wears Prada”. It is rumored that she will be playing a role in the sequel to “The DaVinci Code”.

Romantically Giselle was linked to Leonardo DiCaprio for over 5 years. Currently she is purported to be dating New England Patriot quarterback Tom Brady. The couple have been photographed together outside her New York City home as well as during a trip to Europe.

Comedian, Drew Carey, is officially the new host of “The Price is Right”. He will be replacing Bob Barker who hosted the show for 35 and retired last month after taping 6,586 episode.

Carey, who spent 10 years on his own show “the Drew Carey Show”, hosted “Who’s Line is it Anyway”, an improved comedy show and is now host of the prime time game show “The Power of 10″.

Carey announced that he’d been tagged for the job on Monday’s afternoon taping of CBS’ “Late Show” with David Letterman.

Barker has stated that he is pleased with his replacement and that he had warned Carey to be careful of the contestants “enthusiasm.” “He (Carey) said he would close the show with my spay-neuter plug for as long as he does The Price Is Right”, Barker said.

Seems Lindsay just can’t stay away from the booze and blow.

After police received a call about a car chase, they pulled Lohan over and conducted a field sobriety test. She tested between .12 and .13 which is over the .08 limit.

In true Hollyweird style, Kate Moss is worried about the press getting hold of “intimate” tapes of her and ex-boyfriend, Pete Doherty.

It is being reported that the supermodel, who split with the rocker last month, had retrieved 6 of 8 tapes made. Now she’s worried that her self-confessed, drug addicted ex will leak the tapes to the press or on the Internet.

The couple had previously released clips of the tapes, one with them singing together, but Moss had the ability to decide what was released. That is obviously no longer the case. There is no word on what steps Moss will be taking to regain control of the tapes.

The relationship, which has been turbulent as best, ended last month after Moss discovered that Doherty had cheated on her with a South African model. She has apparently thrown him out of her London home, changed her locks and her phone numbers. A source is quoted as saying, “Kate is determined to wipe the slate clean and that means never speaking to him again.”

Marking the 10th anniversary of the death of Gianni Versace choreographer Maurice Bejart put together a tribute ballet, “Thanks Gianni, With Love.” Bejart, for whom Versace had designed many stage costumes, worked together from 1984 until the designer’s death.

About 1500 guested attended including designer Karl Lagerfeld, actress Liz Hurley and Supermodel Claudia Schiffer. Versace was gunned down outside his Miami home in 1997 by Andrew Cunanan. Cunanan had been on a 3-month killing spree that left Versace and four other people dead.

Jessica Biel is currently starring in the movie “I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry” with Kevin James and Adam Sandler. In recent interview, Biel was quoted as saying that she preferred “funny, sexy men” as opposed to “sexy, sexy men”. Funny is key—funny, silly, someone who doesn’t take themselves seriously, someone who can be ridiculous. That’s the most attractive thing” Biel recently told Parade.com.

Biel, known for her stunning beauty, as well as her acting, was ranked #5 by AskMen.com readers in the list “Top 99 Women 2007″ and ranked as #5 on Maxim’s Hot 100 for 2007. Currently, she is reported to be dating Justin Timberlake.
