Add Beyonce/Matthew/LN

OTHER TIDBITS: According to the papers, Live Nation tried and failed to gain the rights to her world tour while Knowles was Beyonce's manager, though it had locked up the rights to her North American tour. Duranni is President of Artist Marketing Products for Live Nation, and is regarded as one of the key facilitators in orchestrating the 360 deal with Jay-Z, who, you may recall, is Beyonce's husband.You may also recall that Jay-Z is an extremely savvy businessman, leading us to wonder what sort of role he may play in his wife’s decision-making. The title "manager" has never been officially confirmed in terms of Durrani’s business relationship with the artist. And Al Haymon is a highly successful R&B promoter whose relationship with LN dates back to its former incarnation as SFX. (7/14a)
