Beyonce To Publish Soul Food Cookbook Despite Kitchen Incompetence? [UPDATED]

UPDATE: Beyonce's publicist told Today.com that Beyonce has no plans for a cookbook. "This is untrue," she said.

PREVIOUS: Beyonce Knowles plans to publish a soul food cookbook, a source told the Daily Mirror. The singer was inspired by her mother, who prepares a spread of collard greens, cornbread, macaroni and cheese and fried chicken no matter where in the world they were.

Beyonce's other inspiration is none other than fellow recent cookbook author Gwyneth Paltrow. The two friends have spoken and Paltrow has been encouraging.

The only problem is that Beyonce has previously admitted that she isn't such a great cook, and that she doesn't really enjoy it. In fact, Beyonce says she's a disaster in the kitchen.

She was on the View today trying to push her cd. She did couple of songs. The last one where she was sitting on the piano was terrible. She makes all that money. She cannot wear a decent weave.

All right then, maybe she could write a book on how to order at restaurants.

As much as I like Beyonce's music, I have to agree that this is pretty silly.

Beyonce was never really a dark-skinned person but was always like a butter brown or honey complexion. I believe that its the camera lighting. The camera can make u look like anything your money pays for. I am not sure Tina's nationality but she married a black man and normally your race is what your mother is. If Tina is not white than she is black. I bet on Halle Berry's birth certificate it states black. If it is white i will be surprise. White folks always believed if you had a drop of black blood you are black.

Hmm. If she can't cook, I wonder why they don't just release it under her mom's name, and not hers?

I think a lot of people are confusing "publish a cookbook" with "writing a cookbook."

She's never cooked anything in her life. Next month I'm putting out a "How to be a hot black chick" book. (I'm none of the above.)

Don't you need a soul to even make soul food?

No, my sister-in-law is a great cook. However she is pretty much soulless.

The reality is that the book will probably sell well because millions of people are highly influenced by celebrities. Look at all the celebrity clothing lines and perfume lines that are highly profitable. The worship of the famous is America's true religion.

Now this statement I can agree with.

Despite the fact that she may be kitchen challenged, I believe it will sell as well. From a business standpoint, I guess it makes sense for her to milk her celebrity.

So, she had the requisite nose job. Which pop star hasn't?

She reminds me of Michael Jackson. Slowly becoming white.
