Beyonce will be included as a new entry in the latest edition of the French encyclopaedic dictionary Le Petit Larousse.
The American popstar will feature alongside celebrities including Cate Blanchett, LeBron James, French actor Omar Sy, Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan, and French rugby captain Antoine Dupont in the 120th edition of the popular dictionary.
More than 150 new words have been added this year.
Many "reflect concerns, developments or strong movements this year," Carine Girac-Marinier, director of the dictionaries and encyclopaedias department, told French news magazine Le Point.
It is not the first time Beyonce has left her mark on a dictionary. In 2004, the term "bootylicious" - made popular by Destiny's Child hit of the same name, co-written by Beyonce - was added to the Oxford English Dictionary.
Beyonce reportedly said she wasn't "proud" of the word, telling TV Hits magazine: "I wrote the song, but I wish there was another word I could have come up with if I was going to have a word in the dictionary."

Wait! ... they forgot country singer. Shame, and shouldn't proper names be in a encyclopedia or history book? Well regardless, power to the people, the music, and the soul and the recognition.
