By Daily Mail Reporter


Sky-high: Beyonce took her Christian Louboutin 'Lady Daf' platform stilettos out for a romantic stroll with her husband Jay-Z around Paris yesterday

Instead she was too busy gazing into the eyes of the 41-year-old rap music mogul.

The loved-up couple smiled and laughed as they took in the breathtaking sights of the French capital.


Dressed for the Spring climes, Beyonce wore a mix of pretty pastels, slipping into a pair of beige shorts and matching top, a pale blue shirt and a butter-soft pink leather jacket.

She accessorised with the beige platforms and shaded her eyes with some orange-rimmed sunglasses.

Husband Jay-Z went casual for the occasion in some jeans and a simple white T-shirt and matching trainers.

The stroll was the last for the pair, who later headed to Charles de Gaulle airport to jet out of the European country.

Loved-up: Instead she was too busy gazing into the eyes of rap music mogul Jay-Z


But the star is not universally loved it seems, TMZ reported today that she is alleged to have caused 70 people to lose their jobs just before Christmas.

A video company called Gate Five filed papers in New York today which claim that the 'morally reprehensible' singer pulled out of a game called Starpower: Beyonce.

They go on the record to say that Beyonce made a 'extortionate demand' for money long after a deal was already in place.

The company are looking for compensation in excess of 6 million after her decision led to the job losses just ahead of the festive period.

Meanwhile, there has also been speculation that the singer has undergone breast augmentation.

Beyonce certainly looked fuller in the chest department when she modelled a skimpy black top in the city on Saturday, and even exhibited a telling crease underneath her bust.

Knowles was in Paris with her husband while she working on new material for her upcoming album.

Happy: The love-up couple smiled and laughed as they took in the breathtaking sights of the French Capital


Besides work, she had been spotted enjoying a trip to Disneyland and dining out with her other half.

The couple arrived in Paris on Monday morning and headed straight over to the Hotel Le Meurice, where they were reported to be spending a staggering $20,000-a-night on a penthouse suite.

According to America's People.com website, the pair were staying in one of the hotel's best suites, which comes complete with a kitchen, dining room and a massive terrace overlooking the hotel's famous Tuileries Garden.

Jetting off: The stroll was the last for the pair, who later headed to Charles de Gaulle airport to jet out of the European country


It is decorated in a nineteenth-century style, with private elevator access, sitting room, walk-in closet and bedroom with a bathroom in exquisite Italian marble.

And as well as their suite, Beyonce and Jay-Z were also thought to have hired a separate hotel room which they have packed with audio equipment so Beyonce can continue working on her next album.

She was also said to have made plans to record a new track with Kanye West, as well as possibly recording the video for the song as well.

Fan fare: Fans went into a frenzy when the diva made her entrance at the airport, with crowds of Parisians snapping away with their cameras eager to get a snap of the star


After recently parting ways on a business level with her manager father, Matthew Knowles, Beyonce is working on a comeback after a recent break.

Knowles masterminded his daughter's career since her days in chart-topping U.S. band Destiny's Child.

It has also been reported that Beyonce could perform at the Royal wedding reception of Prince William and Kate Middleton this week.

Beyonce, 29, showed off her noticeably slimmer figure in a black and gold wrap dress and towering heels.

She was sporting a lighter shade of blonde hair too - perhaps a change as she prepares to start promoting her new album.

Her husband of three years, 41, was in his signature T-shirt, jeans and trainers - but had removed his baseball cap for the smart restaurant.

US Chart Roundup: The Results Of The Britney Vs. Avril Lavigne Vs. Kanye & Jay-Z Battle

We've already gone through this twice this week, so no need to ramble on about Britney Spears debuting at #1 with "Hold It Against Me," thereby giving her a fourth chart-topping single and producer/God Max Martin his 10th, etc. So let's move ahead...

Avril Lavigne's "What The Hell" enters the Billboard Hot 100 at #13, which shows the power of radio airplay—something Britney's single was aided by, but Avril clearly was not. For a few days after being released, "What The Hell" was just beneath Britney at #2 on iTunes. But then she flip-flopped with Kanye West and Jay-Z's "H.A.M." (which enters at #23). In the end, both of those singles got barreled over at radio in lieu of Britney and slid down the digital store's song chart.

Now that the holiday craziness has settled for good, Edward Maya's "Stereo Love" is able to jump back up to its previous peak position of #16. Another climber: Pink's "Fuckin' Perfect," which moves up 27 positions to #30 and is the Hot 100's "airplay gainer" this week. If we're to include the collaborative 2001 cover of "Lady Marmalade," this now gives Pink a total of 17 Top 40 singles in the U.S.

One of my guilty pleasure jams from last year, Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson's "Don't You Wanna Stay," is at #43 this week. That's just a good old-fashioned duet, like something you'd expect Peter Cetera to have cranked out with some broad in the '80s.

On a final note, album sales really appear to be in the dumpster (more so than usual) in 2011. Cake's Showroom Of Compassion debuts at #1, but has posted the worst returns (44,000 copies) for a top album in Nielsen SoundScan history. It seems like only yesterday when the Dreamgirls soundtrack set the record low, with 60,000 copies. Alas, folks, that was exactly four years ago this month.

Meanwhile, Cake...

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Hold It Against Me" - Britney Spears *new* *1 week*
2. "Grenade" - Bruno Mars  
3. "Firework" - Katy Perry
4. "What's My Name" - Rihanna feat. Drake
5. "Black And Yellow" - Wiz Khalifa
6. "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" - Enrique Iglesias ft. Ludacris & DJ Frank E 
7. "We R Who We R" - Ke$ha 
8. "Raise Your Glass" - Pink  
9. "The Time (Dirty Bit)" - The Black Eyed Peas
10. "Just The Way You Are" - Bruno Mars

Jay-Z feat Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind

“Empire State of Mind” is destined to be played in promos for Knicks games. “Let’s hear it for New York!” Alicia sings in the cheesy hook, giving Jay a breather from name dropping every tourist spot in the verses. Why would he title this flaccid song in such a way as to draw comparisons to Nas’ “N.Y. State of Mind”? Is he trying to give us yet another reason to dig up a copy of Illmatic?

Jay-Z, Rihanna & Kanye West - Run This Town

'Run This Town' is a 2009 song performed by American hip hop musician Jay-Z. The song features Barbadian R&B singer Rihanna and rap artist Kanye West, who also produced the song alongside No I.D. It is released as the second single of Jay-Z's upcoming studio album 'The Blueprint 3'. After the song was released to iTunes on August 11th 2009, it jumped to the third position on the Billboard Hot 100, making it his highest peak as a lead artist to date, it also became Rihanna's eleventh top ten hit, making her the female with the second most top ten hits this decade [2000-2009], behind Beyonce, Jay-Z's wife, who has twelve. It is also Jay-Z's first Top 5 Rap Song since 2006's 'Show Me What You Got'.

The video was directed by Anthony Mandler and was filmed on August 6th 2009 at Fort Totten Park in New York City. The director of the music video had this to say: "We wanted you to feel uneasy throughout the piece," he said. "We wanted there to be a constant layer of tension through the piece. Even in the way I shot — where the camera comes by Jay, it doesn't stop on him, it goes to Rihanna, there's kind of this chaos of revealing and covering and concealing. And things happen offscreen that you don't see.
