Beyonce Is Messy
We are sad to inform you that Beyonce is not perfect. We know this is hard information to take in, so we will give you a minute to grieve. Between her career and being a wife and mother, she has many things to balance, which means cleaning is not on the top of her list.

Beyonce has admitted that her messiness annoys her husband, but she is rich enough to have people clean up after her all day. We doubt anyone will think any less of Queen Bey.

Martha Stewart Makes People Color Her Shoes
This is the strangest request any celebrity has made. Martha Stewart is a crafty woman, and she asked her assistants to color the soles of her Christian Louboutin shoes black with sharpie markers.

These shoes range from $495 to $6,000. Louboutin’s are iconic because of the red sole, so why would Stewart want to cover that up with marker? If she didn’t like the red, she could have bought a cheaper version of the shoes without the brand’s signature sole.
J.Lo’s Nickname is “Pay Low”
You may know her as Jennifer Lopez, J.Lo, or Jenny from the Block, but her assistants and housekeepers know her as “pay low.” According to insiders, she pays half the standard rate for a celebrity-tier housekeeper and assistant.
She may have come a long way from her humble beginnings on the streets of New York, but she will do whatever it takes to save her money.
