Alert: Beyonce Doesn't Write Her Own Songs*

*Can you smell my sarcasm?

Word on the curb all but confirms that Princess Carter doesn't write her own tunes. Bossip reports it got wind from an insider confirming Beyonce's suspect songwriting claims:

A lot of these artists claim to be songwriters, but don’t always write a thing. Some, like Beyonce, serve as vocal arrangements, which points to part of the song’s composition, and thus, receive a songwriting and production credit. Others, like Beyonce, can demand credit based on their name alone. I myself have heard of new song writers looking for placement with Beyonce’s last album being told Beyonce demands a certain amount of publishing upfront (and it’s substantial) or they could “be paid handsomely” to politely remove their name from the song altogether. Fact is, Beyonce didn’t write one song on “I Am…Sasha Fierce.” Beyonce and her team have bought the rights from the songwriters and then Beyonce took credit for it. I have no idea about previous albums but it’s obvious that Beyonce never had a pen in her hand, which is a shame because Beyonce claims something she isn’t.

Amazing what money can buy!

Meanwhile, Beyonce and Lady Gaga are reportedly teaming up for a duet. I wonder if they're calling it the battle of the women who don't wear pants? Actually, I guess that won't work since Gaga's got a peen (allegedly).

*Mmmmm, that sarcasm still smells good!
