Gift from Beyoncé Knowles

I found this a few days ago; Beyoncé Knowles went into a store to do some of her Christmas shopping and paid for the first $50 of everyone else's shopping:


A cynic would say that it was a publicity stunt but I prefer to think that Knowles genuinely wanted to contribute a little towards paying those people's shopping bills. It was the holiday season, after all, so why assume bad faith? Regardless of the motive, all those people benefited from her generosity.

As an aside, I think it's great what she did with her new album, when she surprised everyone by announcing its release without any promotion or prior announcement whatsoever. I wonder how many other musical artists will try to copy her.
