*Beyonce Knowles is one of 127 celebrities whose passport files were accessed repeatedly by unknown parties.
This spring, passport files of presidential candidates Sens. Barack Obama, John McCain and Hillary Clinton were accessed by contractors for the State Department. In response, the State Department's Inspector General examined how often celebrity files were perused, reports the Houston Chronicle.
Authors of the Inspector General's report took a sample list of 150 celebrities and found 127 files were accessed a total of 4,148 times in a six-year period. Nine of the 127 passport files, including Beyonce's file, were pulled up more than a hundred times, the report showed.
Officials won't say which celebs were repeatedly browsed.
