BEYONCE KNOWLES - BEYONCE: 'I'M NOT A REPUBLICAN'

BEYONCE KNOWLES has fired back at reports she's a Republican, insisting too many people have read too much into her performance at fellow Texan GEORGE W BUSH's presidential inauguration celebration. The former DESTINY'S CHILD star has been labelled a Bush fan ever since she performed with her group at the White House in 2001, but she insists she never talks publicly about politics and has never offered her support to the President. She says, "I played at the inauguration because there were a lot of kids in the audience that I wanted to reach, that's all. "Maybe one day I will speak of my political beliefs, but only when I know what I'm talking about."
