ELLEN THANKS FANS WITH BEYONCE

Comedienne and talk show host ELLEN DeGENERES thanked New York City fans who queued in the rain to see a Central Park concert she hosted with a special BEYONCE KNOWLES performance.

More than 10,000 fans queued for free tickets to the open-air JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE concert, which was taped for the season premiere of DeGeneres' show.

The dedication impressed DeGeneres so much that she decided to bring forward a Beyonce performance to say thanks.

She says, "It was raining all week long, we did our first shows in Central Park in New York and it was a concert with Justin Timberlake for the first show and we surprised everybody and it was Beyonce for the second show.

"It was pouring down raining and New Yorkers lined up at 7am, 10,000 people lined up waiting to get into the park until, like, two in the afternoon... It was great."

Both concerts will feature on the ELLEN show next week (beg04SEP06).
