BEYONCE IGNORES PLEAS BY STRIKING WRITERS - AND COMMITS TO PERFORM AT THE GRAMMYS

January 18, 2008. Many actors and musicians are not committing to the Grammys' until the Hollywood writer's strike comes to an end. But MediaTakeOut.com has learned that Beyonce isn't going to let a lil ole strike stop her from getting her shine in front of millions of people.

You see, despite the striking writers' call for entertainers to boycott the Grammy Awards, Beyonce has committed to performing at the awards show.

Here's a statement that Matthew Knowles released on behalf of Beyonce:

The work of The Recording Academy is vital to the music industry, and we have every intention of being with the entire music community to celebrate the Grammys’ 50th birthday in February. Beyoncé, as well as my other artists Solange and Trinitee 5:7, have been asked to participate and will do so. We have an incredible Beyoncé performance that will be announced soon.

We wish the Grammys the best.

Bey better watch out - those Hollywood unions don't play. We can hear the calls to boycott Beyonce already....
