Beyonce Booed At V Festival; Debuts Blonde Bob
Beyonce Knowles was reportedly booed by fans after arriving late to Virgin Media's V Festival in Chelmsford, England on Saturday.
The Grammy award-winning singer, who headlined the final night of the festival, allegedly left festival-goers waiting in the rain for 20 minutes. Although she later thanked them for the inconvenience, she bizarrely refused to allow UK broadcast company, Channel 4, the rights to film her performance, according to Metro UK.
"Thank you all so much for waiting in the rain... Now let's have some fun in the rain. It feels good doesn't it," Beyonce told the crowd.

Despite the hiccup, fans appeared to enjoy Beyonce's 17-track set and were in awe of her new blonde bob hairdo.
Just one week after debuting a drastically short pixie haircut, the "Single Ladies" singer showed off a blonde bob while performing for thousands of fans at Hylands Park. One insider attempted to shed light on why exactly Beyonce got rid of her trademark long blonde locks.

"Changing hair is like changing lipstick or eye shadow for her," a source told the Daily Beast. "I think she gets a kick out of how much the press talks about it."
Some critics attributed Beyonce's new hairstyle to an incident that occurred at her Mrs. Carter world tour in Montreal. In July the mother-of-one's long locks got caught in a fan on stage while she was performing "Halo."
While the Hollywood star was able to laugh off the incident, critics have questioned whether the mishap may have influenced her to remove her beloved hair extensions and adopt the edgy new look.
Kim Kimble, Beyonce's longtime stylist, explained that the singer's haircut is part of a bold statement.
"She had great, thick long hair, which she cut off because she's ready to make a statement. It's a great [one] to make: I'm beautiful, sexy, bold and I can do it all," Kimble said.
"She's the perfect model for that: A working woman, mom, superstar, businesswoman. She's powerful in herself. It had to be her decision. This was a big step," she added.
