Beyonce may be living in a material world but she is not a material girl. The sexy diva has revealed that she does not take advantage of modern gadgets, despite being one of the biggest stars in the new millennium.
Beyonce told Vibe magazine that she steers clear of the radio and the Internet. She said, "First of all, I don't listen to the radio. If I do, it would be in the car on my way to a venue - but not consciously. I don't go on the Internet. Unless I'm approving videos or approving song mixes, I don't go. I don't buy anything online. I'm scared. I don't want to just give 'em my credit card. I don't wanna be hacked."
Although the singer is scared about having her credit card exploited, she is even more concerned with the intense interest into stars' lives.
Beyonce said, "Everybody messes with celebrities. At a point, you just have to decide if you really want it. If you do, you have to have a tough skin. And after you get a certain amount of success, you have no choice."
But the bootylicious star has insight into how she has dealt with worldwide fame - which has included number one songs, movies and a successful clothing line.
She continued, "Either you're gonna turn to other things to take away the pain you feel, or you have to deal with it and move on. If it's something about my sister or my nephew or it's something evil, then yes, I'm upset. I wanna kill somebody. If it's a rumor that's vindictive, or something harmful, or something everybody believes that is completely not true, then it's frustrating because there's nothing you can do about it."
The media can even turn Beyonce's smile upside down.
She said, "If someone misquotes you, or says some complete lie, and then they go back and retract that, people still don't believe you didn't say it. So sometimes it hurts. Sometimes I wanna cry. Sometimes I wanna scream. Sometimes I wanna curse people out."
But with canceling out two media sources from her life, all that is left for Beyonce is magazines and television.
