Forget Beyonce's pregnancy. We've been expecting that announcement for months. The real news this week has to do with Beyonce's little sister, Solange Knowles, who got into a heated quarrel with a cop over a giant inflatable banana.
You read that correctly. A giant... inflatable... banana...
Apparently Knowles was trying to take the five-foot prop with her into a Miami Beach club called Club Cameo when a Miami Beach police officer approached her and told her she was not allowed to bring the banana into the club.
Then it got really nasty.
Knowles tweeted, "I have literally had my last leg with discriminating police! Miami police department will be notified. A police officer just pulled a weapon on me... I have done NOTHING illegal, against the law, or anything of the sort."
One Miami PD official claims the incident never happened; another confirms it did happen, but only because Knowles created a scene.
The first official told the Miami Herald, "Over the weekend, the lion’s share of the mainstream and entertainment media reported that the Miami Police Department had a confrontation with Solange Knowles, the sister of Beyonce Knowles of record and movie fame. We have investigated and found that this incident did not occur in our city."
The other official told E! News, "The whole entire incident was about the fact that she was not allowed in a club. When she became abusive, she was pulled to the side. There was no mention of a gun. Considering it might be an internal investigation I can't tell you much other than that."
Knowles denies that she put up a fight.
"Never once during the incident did I even raise my voice," she told E! News after hearing the official's statement. "I feel very strongly about standing up for myself when something is wrong, and am very disappointed in the way that the Miami Police Department has handled this case."

Right now former Cheney is admitting that he ran the country. He would not accept a normal VP roll. He always wanted to be president and he had a voice like the president. Yes if he (they) are guilty of WAR CRIMES, they should be prosecuted......you think.
Solange was detained for a giant banana? Be for real. Why? When is someone gonna highlight how the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS TREATED LIKE A BLACKMAN INSTEAD OF THE PRESIDENT? Isn't that position higher than any Senator or House of representative position? Hell Yeah. WOW!
85% are A$$holes.
