Beyonce snapped

Beyonce Knowles into hot water with animal cruelty campaigners. They accused the superstar singer's publicity team of taping baby alligators' jaws together during her stunning photoshoot.

But her record company Sony snapped back yesterday to reveal she was never even near the animals - they were added digitally by computer later.

A Sony source said: "Those alligators weren't even on the set with her. They were superimposed for the shoot."

Beyonce, who is dating rapper Jay-Z, said she came up with idea for the alligators herself after seeing pictures of a woman holding a Doberman.

She explained: "I just always thought the contrast of the femininity of a woman holding that fierce Doberman was just kind of strange and hot. I was in Louisiana, so the crocodile is the same kind of idea. It was in post-production and I just thought it was strange and hot and sexy."

The shot will appear as the cover of Beyonce's next single Ring The Alarm.
