Is Beyonce lying about her age? Over the last few days the internet as well as other media sources have been all a buzz with rumors that Destiny's Child Beyonce Knowles has been lying about her age.

If one was to believe what sources have reported up until now, then Beyonce is 25 years old.

Wikipedia.org reports Beyoncé's birth date as September 4, 1981, but according to mediatakeout.com a tipster that claimed to work for the Texas Department of Health faxed to them "official" birth records. The records allegedly state that Beyonce Knowles the daughter of Tina and Matthew Knowles was actually born in 1974 which would make her 32 years old.

So why would someone so beautiful and talented feel the need to snip 7 years off of her age? Did she believe that her true age would have hurt her career and if this rumor is true will it damage her career now?

As for now, these rumors are just that, rumors. Nothing concrete has been confirmed.

it's true. i am 25 and when i first heard her age i was in disbelief. add to that the fact that on star search the girls are obviously at least 12 and this was in the 80's...now i was just a toddler at the time so if beyonce is my age then she would've been like 3 when on star search

Beyonce's birth date is September 4, 1981.So she's 25, not 32. Do you people seriously hate her that you have to make up these rumors? Seriously. Way to act mature.

I had my highschool at Elsik and Beyonce was my lower batch. She sure is 26 as of now (Jan 2008), and will turn 27 on Sept 4, 2008. Stop all these crap.

Asking a woman how old she is--well, you know how the saying goes: "A lady never tells her true age, and a true gentleman never asks." Seriously, if I were Beyonce, looking as good as she does, I'd lie too. And working in entertainment, IOW, in an industry full of bigots (mostly coddled males who still crave 16 year old t*tty), well, the last thing those bigoted creeps would get from me is the truth about anything, age or otherwise.

Beyonce did lied!!! My cousin have a tape Star Search with Ed Mcmahon as the host in the early 80s. Beyonce is on there and she was about 15 years old at the time. She was in a singing group with the 80's hairstyles an clothes. Ed Mcmahon interview them and when the show first begin they mention the year. My cousin tried downloadng it to youtube and other websites but for some reason it always get erase. Hmmm I wonder why!!!

Who cares?! Regardless of her age... she's still going to get paid... If you learn that she did in fact lie, are you going to stop being a fan?! I doubt it... so forget about it!

Yes Beyonce was on start search in 1983 and I have the tape to prove it. The Host was Ed Machanon not Arsenio Hall. Recently Kelly Rowland was on a radio show which is hosted by Imus. On that show they had her and Morris Day from the 80's group the Times. If you don't know who he is he is the one who use to be down with Prince and he was also his rival in the movie Purple Rain. Anyway Imus asked Morris Day about his first record that he recorded in 1973 was a total flop. Morris Day replied and said that he was trying to make it in the business but back then he couldn't get a record deal. Imus went on to say that Kelly Rowland was so young back then and he ask her how old was you and she said she was 8 years old back then. I advise all of you to get a transcipt of this show. In 1973 she was 8 years old. She skip and said it with her own mouth. I think she had made a mistake in saying it but because it didn't hit the public eye she thought she was safe.
