Taylor Momsen

Gossip Girl actress Taylor Momsen is known for a signature look that makes liberal use of garter belts. While her fans think it's great, some parents have expressed concern that their teens will want to dress like the 17-year-old rockstar in the making.

 

 Kylie Minogue

One glove, a garter belt and a skirt slit all the way to the hip? This is tame for Kylie Minogue, who is accustomed to wearing some very unique costumes onstage.

 

 

Beyonce

Beyonce Knowles will do just about anything to heat up the stage. Known for her elaborate stage shows (and MANY costume changes), Beyonce doesn't mind breaking out the garters for a hot number.

 

 

 

Katy Perry

Katy Perry is no stranger to trying out some different ensembles... even it means freaking out Elmo. It comes as no surprise that the singer has tried gartered outfits several times.

 

 

 

Dita Von Teese

Garters are a burlesque staple, so it's no surprise that the queen of the burlesque renaissance, Dita Von Teese, shows off her garters occasionally. In this unique Jean Paul Gaultier ensemble, the garters (along with several other pieces of the garment) have been made to resemble bones.

 

 

 

Carmen Electra

When Carmen Electra shows up to do a gig with the Pussycat Dolls, she dresses the part. Carmen, who was part of the original PCD dance troupe before they started recording, showed off some loose garter straps that fit right in with the group's boudoir theme.

Beyonce Performs for Libyan Dictator, Donates Proceeds to Charity

Beyonce Knowles gave a private performance for members of Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi’s family on New Year’s Eve 2009, but instead of keeping the cash for herself she gave it all away to Haiti after the devastating earthquake that ravaged the Caribbean nation.

Her publicist said: "All monies paid to Beyonce for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St. Barts on New Year's Eve 2009, including the commissions paid to her booking agency, were donated to the earthquake relief efforts for Haiti over a year ago.

"Once it became known that the third party promoter was linked to the Qaddafi family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause."

Colonel Gaddafi has been linked to terrorist activity and accused of running a brutal regime over his people for 40 years. He's been asked to step down by leaders of the western world following a violent revolt in the Middle Eastern country, but has refused, even denying there is unrest in the state.

Earlier this week, Nelly Furtado revealed she is to donate the $1 million she earned performing for Gaddafi’s family in 2007.

The singer tweeted: "In 2007, I received 1million$ from the Qaddafi clan to perform a 45 min. Show for guests at a hotel in Italy. I am going to donate the $."

Beyonce Knowles is looking forward to starting a family and insists she can be a good wife and mother while maintaining her successful career.

She said: “I have so much admiration for women who are mothers, who balance family and work. I see them and I have this word in my head -- respect. I also look to learn. I see these women and I think, ‘Yes, it can be balanced, it can all work out.’ I do believe that it’s possible to have it all – work, a career, babies… It’s all a question of being very organized. That’s what I’m getting my head around.”

Although she wants to have it all, Beyonce also likes the idea of being a stay-at-home wife to spend quality time with her husband after previously taking a brief career break and enjoying the experience.

She told Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine: “I took a year off and I even did some cooking, although I didn’t really enjoy that. I’m not the greatest cook -- I can do things with oxtail, though. It was great just having the time to be a wife rather than this non-stop traveling career girl.”

Beyonce Knowles' birthday surprise

Jay-Z organised a surprise birthday bash for wife Beyonce Knowles at the weekend.

The rapper made the 'Halo' hitmaker's 29th birthday party on Saturday (04.09.10) one to remember by hiring out New York eatery The Darby, where the couple were joined by celebrity pals Kayne West, P Diddy, Serena Williams and Alicia Keys.

An insider told the New York Post newspaper: "Jay brought a six-layer cake out for Beyonce, they were really affectionate. Cassidy played Stevie Wonder's 'Happy Birthday'. The party went on until 6 am.

"Both Jay and Beyonce's moms were there, but there was no sign of her father or her sister. Diddy was the last to leave. Jay filled the room with orchids."

Earlier this week, it was claimed Lady Gaga had splashed out thousands of dollars on a custom-made diamond whip and matching underwear set as a birthday gift for the singer, which she presented to her backstage at Jay-Z's concert in Detroit last week.

A source explained: "Gaga wanted to give her something special. The whip was made out of hundreds of diamonds and leather. When Beyonce received it she squealed with excitement."
