Experts doubt that her request will be approved, but she has taken the necessary steps to re-file should she be denied. Around the same time, Beyoncé starred in the movie The Fighting Temptations opposite Cuba Gooding Jr. The catch phrase, a synonym for "That's cool" or "That's awesome," has since been parodied in pop culture outlets such as Saturday Night Live [7] (http://snltranscripts.jt.org/04/04chilton.phtml) and even by Hilton herself, on The Late Show with David Letterman. It, too, went on to become one of the biggest hits of 2003, dominating radio airplay for the fall of 2003. "That's hot" is a phrase popularized by Hilton (although an earlier usage is attributed to her Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie [6] (http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2004/9/emw157359.htm) and has been used by others for many years). Towards the end of the summer, "Baby Boy", Dangerously In Love's second single, which featured reggae star Sean Paul, began to climb the charts. Within days, it was revealed [4] (http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2005/01/01/paris.html) that Hilton's account could be accessed by anyone guessing the answer to the "forgotten password" challenge question she chose: "What is your favorite pet's name?"

On the televised celebration of July 4 in 2003, Beyoncé came under controversy from the Grant Memorial Association for her performance of "Crazy In Love", in which she danced in a "patently inappropriate" way on the steps of the tomb of President Ulysses S. On February 19, 2005, conceptual art outlaws, Seahorse Liberation Army, posted the contents of Hilton's personal T-Mobile account to the Internet: phone numbers (which included many celebrities such as Christina Aguilera, Fred Durst, Eminem, Lindsay Lohan, Jay-Z, Anna Kournikova, Andy Roddick, Avril Lavigne), notes (with even more numbers and email addresses, and reminders such as her date to host Saturday Night Live), and thirty-five digital snapshots.

When single and album simultaneously topped the pop charts in both the US and the UK, she became the first act to achieve this feat since Men At Work in 1983 - in the '60s and '70s, it was performed by the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and Rod Stewart. [2] (http://sify.com/movies/hollywood/fullstory.php?id=13673478), [3] (http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/celebrity/25742004.htm). This album has sold in excess of 6 million copies worldwide. In February 2005, she admitted in an interview that she has a crush on Jennifer Aniston. Dangerously In Love went to the top of the album charts in the UK and Canada, as well as on both the American pop (Billboard 200) and R&B charts. It has also been rumored that there exists a video featuring Paris in a lesbian sex romp with her friend Nicole Lenz, a Playboy Playmate. Its first single, "Crazy In Love", featured a propulsive riff and a guest rap from Jay-Z and rapidly became one of the biggest hits of that summer, staying at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart for ten weeks. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Hilton stated that she did not receive much enjoyment from sex with men.

In 2003, Beyoncé released her debut solo album Dangerously In Love. There has been speculation that Hilton may be gay or bisexual. The song was included both on her debut solo album and on Luther's Dance With My Father set, and they shared the Grammy for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals. The video received the AVN Awards in 2005 for "Best Selling Title of the Year," "Best Renting Title of the Year" and "Best Overall Marketing Campaign – Individual Project.". In this version, the vocal parts are flipped around, with Luther taking Roberta's part and Beyoncé taking Donny's. The original video, and a rip of the DVD, are still circulating on the Internet. In the spring of 2003, Beyoncé remade a duet with Luther Vandross, called "The Closer I Get To You", originally performed by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. All profits she received from the video were donated to charity.

The couple are engaged, and current rumours say that they will marry soon. In July, the suit was settled, with Hilton receiving $400,000 and a percentage of the profits.

"Work It Out" was a top 10 hit in the UK and a top 40 hit in the Netherlands, Australia, and Ireland, despite being Beyoncé's biggest flop to date in her home country; in America, radio barely played the song and the video received very minor exposure, only on digital video channels, MTV Jams and VH1 Soul. On June 9, 2004 it was released as a DVD titled 1 Night in Paris. She also recorded a song entitled "Work It Out", for the movie soundtrack. An unauthorized sex video of Hilton with her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, who leaked it onto the Internet, was released shortly before The Simple Life debuted, causing a sensation.

The movie is in The Guinness Book of World Records as the Highest Box Office Comedy Film gross . Unconfirmed reports suggest that Hilton hosted a party to watch her performance as host of Saturday Night Live, but that Richie switched the SNL tape with a tape of Hilton's infamous sex video. In the summer of 2002, Beyoncé co-starred in the film Austin Powers in Goldmember opposite Mike Myers' role of Austin Powers, as Foxxy Cleopatra. Neither party has commented on the reason why, though Hilton has alluded that it is due to actions on the part of Richie. Beyoncé then turned to acting, starring alongside Mekhi Phifer in the MTV TV movie Carmen: A Hip Hopera without any previous training.This movie was the modern day equivalent to the 1954 musical Carmen which starred Harry Belafonte and Dorothy Dandridge. In April 2005, she announced that she severed both personal and professional ties with friend Nicole Richie [1] (http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=690937). She is the first African American woman and the second woman of any race to win the award. Still, it became a New York Times bestseller.

In 2001, Beyoncé won the Songwriter of the Year award, from the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers Pop Music Awards. Some in the media panned the writing as amateurish, and the book was parodied by Robert Mundell on The Late Show with David Letterman. [1] (http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/13/music.destinys.child.ap/index.html). In the fall of 2004, Hilton released a book, Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose, which brings full color photographs of her and gives her tips on the dos and don'ts of living as an heiress. On June 13, 2005, it was announced the group will disband after their world tour ends in the fall of 2005. Tinkerbell was found a week later, having been left at the home of Hilton's grandparents. "Lose My Breath", "Soldier" and "Girl" all of these reached the top 10 Billboard album and singles charts respectively. In August 2004, Tinkerbell was reported lost and a $5,000 reward was offered for her safe return.

After Langford's arrest, safety seemed apparent and the release of Destiny Fulfilled went through. Hilton owns a teacup Chihuahua named Tinkerbell. Langford continued the threats, until her arrest on August 23, 2004 in home in San Diego home. She is also a spokesmodel for various products including the T-Mobile Sidekick and Creative Zen Micro. Primarily aimed at Beyoncé, the threats caused major setbacks for the group. She is the founder of Heiress Records, a label on which she plans to release her debut album in 2005. In 2004, the group began receiving threats from an obsessed fan from San Diego, California named LaToya Langford. Despite her successes, Hilton's recent attempts to start a modeling company and a makeup line seem to have been unsuccessful.

The album's fourth and final single, "Emotions", was a cover of the Bee Gees hit of the same name; it continued the group's impressive string of top ten hits. On top of her acting career, she has also helped to design purses for Samantha Thavasa and Toys for Tots. The title track "Survivor" would win the band their second Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. She was also the subject of a South Park episode entitled "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset" in which she opens a store called "Stupid Spoiled Whore" selling girls everything they need to emulate her. "Independent Women" (Part 1) had been the theme song for Charlie's Angels in late 2000, prior to the album's 2001 release. Highlights of the show included the girls performing poorly at various jobs, making out with the local boys, and numerous instances of them shown as "fish out of water." On March 19, 2004, she suffered a horseback riding accident while filming The Simple Life 2, requiring treatment at a hospital. Two singles from the album went to the top of the Billboard Hot 100: "Independent Women" (Part 1) and "Bootylicious", with the album's title track reaching number 2. She and her former best friend, Nicole Richie, starred in the 2003 FOX hit reality series The Simple Life, in which they lived with a family on their farm in rural Altus, Arkansas.

The next album, Survivor, proved to be another smash, going to number one on both the American Billboard 200 and R&B Albums charts, and on the Canadian album chart, as well as being generally successful around the world. She also appeared in the short subjects QIK2JDG and L.A. Knights, as well as minor and supporting roles in the feature movies House of Wax, The Hillz, Wonderland, Uptown Girls, Raising Helen, The Cat in the Hat, and Nine Lives. Pictures of her have appeared in several magazines, including GQ, Vanity Fair and FHM. ("Bug-A-Boo" and "Jumpin' Jumpin'" were also popular singles off the album.) "Say My Name" won two awards at the 2001 Grammys for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best R&B Song, the latter of which was awarded to the songwriters, which included Beyoncé herself.

Destiny Child's second album The Writing's On The Wall released in 1999 featured two number one hits in "Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Say My Name". Hilton has an acting career on top of her other fame. The album itself also went platinum. Hilton has danced on the top of bar banquettes, worn shirts reading "Got Blow?," and other times worn no top at all. One of her more famous quotes is: "What's a soup kitchen?" Her most famous quote, however, is "That's hot," which is used by Hilton in a myriad of situations.

The group's self-titled album, released in 1998, was produced by Wyclef Jean and Jermaine Dupri and featured the platinum-selling, number one Hot 100 single "No, No, No". She has been said to have pushed in front of others in line for a public bathroom, saying she only wanted to look at herself in the mirror. The group has currently returned from a hiatus since 2001, when its three current members, Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams, each decided to temporarily pursue solo careers. Hilton has also received a lot of press for a variety of other incidents, mainly party antics. Beyoncé is the main songwriter for the group and is generally regarded as its leader. She was also blamed by the media for breaking up the relationship between Australian tennis player Mark Philippoussis and singer Delta Goodrem. The band is managed by her father, Matthew Knowles, who is acknowledged as a strong force in Beyoncé's life. A few months later, she announced that those "bruises" were from a magazine photo shoot (just when the magazine was coming out).

Beyoncé and Destiny's Child toured as an opening act for both Christina Aguilera and TLC before their first album, also called Destiny's Child. This rumor was neither confirmed nor denied by Hilton at the time. As a teen, she attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, where she honed her musical talents. While Hilton was dating Nick Carter she sported bruises, which caused rumors that Carter may have beat her. Beyoncé has won five Grammy Awards for her solo work and three as a member of Destiny's Child. In 2000, the National Enquirer reported a casual friendship with Leonardo DiCaprio as something far more intimate. She has, however, dated several notables, including actor Edward Furlong, boxer Oscar De La Hoya, model Jason Shaw, Chicago Bears football player Brian Urlacher, and singers Rob Mills, Deryck Whibley, and Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. The album has spawned four top ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100 including "Crazy In Love" featuring boyfriend Jay-Z, "Baby Boy" featuring Sean Paul, "Me Myself & I", and "Naughty Girl" all of which were back-to-back multi-week number ones on said chart during last summer and fall.
