Beyonce Knowles wanted to have a baby when she was 30.

The 'Run the World (Girls)' singer – who is married to rapper Jay-Z - initially wanted to retire from the spotlight and start a family when she hit her thirties, but now she is just months away she's not so sure.

Beyonce Knowles' mother stopped her from developing a huge ego by smacking her.

The 'Run The World (Girls)' hitmaker first tasted fame with girl group Destiny's Child at the age of 15 and although Beyonce found herself getting carried away with her new exciting career, her mum Tina quickly made her realize she would not be allowed to act like a diva.

Beyonce Knowles has splashed out on 25 pairs of designer shoes for her sister's 25th birthday.
