In her 2008 smash
hit "Single Ladies," Beyonce sang of telling a jealous ex-boyfriend that
if he had wanted to commit to their relationship, he should have "put a
ring on it."
Now Beyonce is telling a Texas company selling stuff online bearing the name "Feyonce" to put a lid on it.
Beyonce,
one of the world's most famous and influential pop stars, on Tuesday
sued to stop the sale of dozens of shirts, sweaters, tank tops, hoodies
and even coffee mugs bearing the "Feyonce" name, which she calls too
close to her own trademarked name.
In
a complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, Beyonce accused Feyonce
Inc and three individuals, all from San Antonio, of "brazenly" selling
infringing "Feyonce" merchandise at their website.
Among
the items is a $14.95 mug with the phrase "he put a ring on it," which
Beyonce said was intended to call to mind the lyrics of "Single Ladies."

Kelly Rowland is preparing to enter the competitive industry of cosmetics with her own makeup line for chocolate-hued women.
“My makeup artist Sheika Daley and I are actually starting a makeup
line — we’re making sure we make, well, we’re starting off with lashes,
and then we’re going to have it grow for all women,” she told Essence.
“But definitely making sure we have our chocolate girls covered. Gotta
get the chocolate girls in there! We have to have that, you know. I
think Iman has done a beautiful makeup line, and I want to do it, too!”
The idea to launch her own cosmetic line came after years of having
to endure horrible makeup jobs from professional cosmetologists who
didn’t know how to apply makeup to a dark-skinned face.
“I remember going to Europe, and there was this one makeup artist –
I’m a chocolate girl, and she made me look pink,” recalls Rowland (via People). “And then when she tried again, I looked green. And then when she tried again, I looked way fairer than what I really am.”

Looks like Beyoncé really can do just about anything — like make you famous overnight.
The "Formation" singer, 34, recently returned home to her native
Texas to attend the funeral of her Uncle Skip, and you know, just
casually made dreams come true for one lucky, genetically blessed woman.
Otherwise known as "Beyoncé's hot cousin."
After this photo was posted to Instagram, on March 19, the Internet went wild. Jay Z's better half posed for a pic with sisters Kelsi Leggett (left) and Kristin Douglas
(right), who were first thought to be Bey's cousins. Shortly after,
Douglas and her booty caught the attention of, well, thousands.
She later clarified to TMZ that she is not in fact the cousin of the famous singer, but she and sister Kelsi are the goddaughters of Uncle Skip.
Upon posting the pic, Douglas, a self-described nurse with two
children, went from an undiscovered identity to an online sensation. Her
Instagram
following skyrocketed from a mere 2k to now 87k and counting. Twitter
and Instagram goers were quick to point out Douglas' gorgeous looks and
"bootylicious" figure.
