Solange Knowles

     *Solange Knowles tried to check a Las Vegas news anchor for a Jay-Z-related question during their interview – only the question was never asked.

      Beyonce's little sister was appearing via satellite on KVVU to promote her new album "Sol Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams." During a commercial break, her rep was asked if the reporter could mention Solange's brother-in-law Jay-Z's newly-closed 40/40 club in Las Vegas. Solange's rep said absolutely not, and questions were to focus solely on her music.

      The station agreed and the interview began after the break. The reporter gave her a cheery welcome, after which Solange proceeded to complain – on live TV – about how "unprofessional" the woman was to begin the segment "talking about my family and my brother-in-law's establishment."

      The reporter looked confused, looked at her notes, glanced off camera and said, "Okay, well we do apologize… " An anchor off stage quickly interrupted: "That wasn't live, Solange, that wasn't on TV."

      Solange said, "Okay," and the interview continued. Awkwardly.
