When Jay Z played at the Isle of Wight, he and Beyonce stayed in a $29 a night motel and ate at the local pizza hut.
From News of the World
They booked into the £29-a-night Premier Inn when rapper Jay-Z performed at this weekend's Isle of Wight Festival.
I expected them to swoop in by private jet and exit as fast as you can say "Night in a five-star hotel, please".
But the king and queen of pop were happy to save their pennies and book into the budget hotel chain.
Yep, it was deep pan and a divan all the way... because they also rejected an offer of specially-prepared posh nosh and nipped to PIZZA HUT for dinner instead.
But not before style queen Beyonce had popped to bargain clothes store New Look in Newport followed by local shop Hurst's to buy some candles and the last pair of size nine wellies (well, it was a bit muddy).
My island insider said: "They were a completely normal couple. They actually have simple tastes and preferred to go out for a pizza rather than something posh."
