- R&B star Beyonce Knowles has defended the commercials for her new perfume Heat after they were deemed too racy for TV, saying she doesn't regret the advertisements.
- The advertisement, which shows the 'Diva' hitmaker singer seductively lying in a bathtub, was banned from daytime TV by officials at the Advertising Standards Authority in November last year.
- But the 29-year-old singer is unfazed by viewers' complaints, admitting she found the furore "funny", reported Cosmopolitan magazine.
- "I wasn't annoyed, I thought it was funny. Personally, I don't think my ad was any more crazy sexy than other ads out there - I loved it, despite whatever anyone else thought.
- "It was based on a really hot George Michael video and yes, it was sexy, but then you have to think about what you're doing. It was for my fragrance and I believe a wonderful fragrance brings out the sex appeal in a woman. That was what I was trying to express. I don't regret it," said Beyonce.
