Beyonce May Or May Not Have Performed for Libyan Dictator Muammar Gaddafi on NYE

Apparently her revealing costume (right off the runway from the ThunderCats' Spring 2010 collection) isn't the only notable thing about her performance at Nikki Beach - it is possible though not proven that she performed not only for Usher and Lindsay Lohan, but also (maybe) for crazy, elite female-bodyguards-having dictator Muammar Gaddafi and his family. As Rachel Sklar at Mediaite writes:

Reports are now emerging — unconfirmed — that Beyoncé doubled Carey’s last-year take with a cool $2 million for the performance. Influential urban blogger Necole Bitchie wrote “I am hearing they were at a party for Libyan dictator Moammar Khadafy’s son and Beyonce was reportedly paid 2 million to perform.” UK celebrity and entertainment columnist Dean Piper wrote in the Daily Mirror about the Abramovitch party, noting “[m]eanwhile at ­another party at nearby Nikki Beach, Beyonce ­Knowles (watched by husband Jay-Z) was being paid a rumoured six-figure sum by none other than the family of Libyan dictator Col Gaddafi!” Emails and a phone call to Beyonce’s publicist have not been returned.

So it's entirely possible that Gaddafi was there, or that just his son was there, or that none of them were there. But his son is known for being something of a playboy, and these are the same people who paid Mariah Carey to perform for them last year, so it wouldn't be a shock if they had a particular yen to ring in 2010 with a rousing medley of "Crazy In Love" and "Single Ladies," a desire which transcends race, class, sex, and whether or not you run a country with an iron fist and sheer insanity.

Beyonce probably didn't even know Gaddafi was there (if he was), but it still might not reflect well on her. Hopefully no one will find out about that private concert Taylor Swift performed for Kim Jong-il and the reanimated corpse of Mussolini. That would be a disaster!
