BEYONCE'S BONKERS 37-SEC FLIGHT

WE had our suspicions that the likes of Beyonce, Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani wouldn’t be too troubled by the credit crunch.

But news of their latest lavish extravagance at the F1 ROCKS concerts in Singapore really does take the biscuit.

The stars will take a 37-second helicopter ride from their hotel to the concert venue about a mile away.

We kid you not.

Our source at the Grand Prix event said: “These stars need a stylish and speedy journey to their performances, so a helicopter journey – even one of under a minute – is the only way to go.”

But our snitch insisted: “This is not a case of diva demands but necessity.

“The stars will be staying in Singapore’s top hotel, which is only a short journey to where the concerts are being held – but we’re  expecting hundreds of thousands of people to line the streets for the race.

“It isn’t an option to have stars like Beyonce and Pharrell sitting in traffic and going nowhere and that’s what would happen if they tried to go by car because of road blocks and the crowds along the F1 circuit.”

So it’s a ride over the heads of the humble punters instead.

Organisers of F1 ROCKS predict performances by No Doubt, Black Eyed Peas, N.E.R.D, Beyonce and Simple Minds, combined with the Singapore Grand Prix, will make the event at the end of September – due to be screened in 188 countries – bigger than the Olympics.

" If this were to happen in big cities like London or New York, I wouldn't be surprised. But in Singapore??? And downtown area at that, where every building seems to be only blocks away. This really is bonkers."
