Cor, that Beyoncé Knowles is one fat porker, eh? No? Ah well, I must be having visions of the future then, as Knowles and her Destiny's Child girls are the new faces of McDonald's.

Replacing ol' Trousersnake as the burger chain's yoof-specific marketing toy, Destiny's Child will front McDonald's' global 'I'm Lovin' It' campaign. They'll appear in TV adverts, and Ronald and his chums will sponsor the group's forthcoming world tour.

Knowles told the ever-hungry press of the world: "We're lovin' (see what she did there? This woman is on the ball!) the chance to work with McDonald's and know that together we'll create lots of fun and cool surprises. McDonald's shares our passion for music, so we can't wait to start connecting to our fans."

Take a look at Destiny's Child. A close look. Is anyone seriously going to tell me they EVER eat in McDonalds? Or that they get it delivered to their dressing room as part of their tour rider?

Next week: Dido endorses Pukka Pies.

Actually, in all seriousness, that's what has happened isn't it? Someone in the McDonalds marketing department (what a job THAT must be) must have thought 'Hmmm. Super Size Me wasn't good for our public profile. I KNOW! Let's get the thinnest looking women in showbiz to endorse our products! I'm a McGenius.'

"the thinnest looking women in showbiz"!?!

The other two, fair play, and Beyoncé Knowles is a good looking girl, but 'Thin' isn't a word often used to describe her. You got your beer goggles on already Damien?

Re: McDestiny's Child: burger chain "shares our passion for music"

I'm recalling a Q photoshoot from a couple of years back where they wore the most ridiculous corsets. I can't say I've followed their careers with any degree of interest since.

...although Beyoncé was good in Goldmember I thought.

Both parties are only in it for money anyway, and Mcdonalds needed a new way to make pople fat.

Re: McDestiny's Child: burger chain "shares our passion for music"

First thing I thought as well. I wonder if god and her strong christian beliefs approves of cashing in on this as they do about her dressing in skimpy outfits.

I woulv'e preferred Meatloaf endorsing this, personally. I hope to see a new 'loaf song entitled 'Fat Outta Hell' over a huge picture of a McDonald's burger in the near future.

Are you sure it ain't the other way round? As in 'McMcDonald's endorse Destiny's Child'? In the same way as the Charlie's Angels fillum was essentially a two hour promo for the aforementioned ahrandbee popstrels?

My sauces (barbecue, mostly) tell me that McMcDonald's are due to rename the Big Mac the Beyonce Knowles Career Vehicle Foodstuff by Christmas.

I'm lovin' it, providing that 'lovin' it' is shorthand for 'I feel earth-shatteringly ambivalent about this piece of non-news and may choke on my own antipathy within the next three seconds.'

Oh. Right....

Bit rich coming from Beyonce 'four slices of tomato and six slices of cucumber for lunch'...

I actually consider her (bottom-aside) stick thin, especially when she's downsized her top half to pure skin and bones in order to look in proportion with her butt.

Also can't stand the way she, and the other rappers, wear fur as a sign of making it - how's wearing something that could've been priceless (i.e. a life) expensive?

My friend saw Super Size Me and hasn't been in a McDonalds since. Thankfully he can still go to Burger King.
I hope Destiny's Child all eat their free McMeals and get really fat. Hahahahahahaha. I'm feeling mainly nasty today.
