Beyonce Is A Cheek
Most tabloid stories read either like transcripts from an extended game of telephone or like telegrams magically generated by the still living brain of a 1930s newspaperman in a jar—that's what makes them so entertaining. But what if you took an Austrian transcript from an extended game of telephone, filtered it through the preserved corpus callosum of a 1930s newspaperman, then translated it into English?

From Yahoo News (via The Awl):
US pop star Beyonce has angered a high-brow art museum in Vienna by sending a look-a-like to her own special personal tour of the museum, while she went shopping, according to newspaper reports here Wednesday.
Tabloid dailies Oesterreich and Heute said the R&B diva had been due to visit the Albertina, one of the Austrian capital's most famous museums which attracts around one million visitors each year.
Recent visitors include Hollywood stars such as Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Nicolas Cage.
But Beyonce, who gave a concert in Vienna on Tuesday, decided to skive off and do some shopping instead, sending a look-a-like to the museum and be photographed with Albertina director, Klaus Albrecht Schroeder, according to the reports.
