We can’t believe Beyonce’s PR rep even took the time to explain Bey’s outrageously padded curves in the above photo. The rep supposedly responded to “critics” who thought Bey had packed on extra weight (yes, some people are that stupid!)

But we didn’t need an explanation. We already know Beyonce is as fake as a Barack Obama $100 bill. But a flack has to earn her keep in these inflationary times.

From USmagazine.com:

    Beyonce’s rep is firing back at critics who have said the singer, 27, has packed on pounds.

    After Beyonce was photographed in NYC March 8 for her I … Am tour in a Thierry Mugler couture dress, online commenters blasted her curves (“Why does she look so deformed?” one quipped).

    But her rep tells Usmagazine.com the dress — which was originally designed for Jerry Hall — is to blame.

    “This is not a weight-gain issue,” her rep tells Us. “Beyonce is in the best shape of her life. The exaggerated hips are a design element of a truly couture dress. Beyonce has always loved this dress.”

    What’s more, a rep for designer Mugler tells Us the waist on Hall’s dress was 23 inches and was reduced to 19 for Beyonce.

    Says the Mugler rep, “The padded hips intentionally focus attention to the waist.”
