London, December 17: American R&B singer Beyonce Knowles apparently believes that being a diva is not necessary to be a role model for girls and young women, for she has her own definition of female beauty.

"I'm just a pop princess using my butt to save yours," the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

Beyonce, who is married rapper and multi-millionaire music entrepreneur Jay-Z, also understands the difference between a great wedding and a good marriage.
