Jay Z sues attorney Tony Buzbee after dismissal of sexual assault case

<p>Pop star Beyonce attended the&nbsp;2nd Annual Wearable Art Gala in Los Angeles with her daughter&nbsp;Blue Ivy Carter and husband Jay-Z as she was awarded a humanitarian award by her mother, Tina Knowles Lawson.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Knowles Lawson, who co-founded the WACO Theater with husband Richard Lawson, while honouring Beyonce said,&nbsp;&ldquo;Honoring Beyonc&eacute; and Mrs Carter is just an honour for us because so many people have asked to honour Beyonc&eacute; and she&rsquo;s always said no. So, she couldn&rsquo;t tell me no because I&rsquo;m her mom.&nbsp;I am just happy for people to just see what an amazing person she is, what a great human being she is. And Mrs Carter as well. She gets on buses with these kids and goes on college tours, she gets prom dresses. They&rsquo;re both just changing the world and it&rsquo;s amazing to get to honour them.&rdquo;</p>
