Publicist tries to downplay tumble; plus, singer does pre-fall Q&A with AP.

*By now, everyone has seen Beyonce’s unfortunate "slide" down the stairs during her concert Tuesday night in Orlando. A rep for the singer has come forward with attempts to put the tumble in its proper context. (See it below while you can before it's removed.)

"Beyoncé's fall on stage last night in Orlando, Fl. during her performance of 'Ring The Alarm' was a mere spot on an otherwise sensational, flawless show," the rep told People magazine Wednesday. "It was a case of her coat's hem getting caught in her shoes, but Miss Knowles picked herself right up, without missing a beat, showing to all that she is the best."

Bey, dressed in a trench coat and high heels, somehow escaped serious injury in the fall, her rep said. People magazine quoted concertgoer Anette Nelson, who said of Beyonce’s spill: "Everyone gasped. But she got up right away and acted like nothing happened. I don't even think she missed a word of the song! Everyone started cheering her on, because she recovered like a real professional."

Meanwhile, before the fall, Beyonce sat down for a Q&A session with AP writer Nekesa Mumbi Moody. Here are some excerpts:

AP: Does it ever get easy to dance on stage in high heels?

Beyonce: The easiest part is dancing in the heels. I don't even think about it anymore; it's just second nature. But it is difficult to dance, to sing at the same time. I have to make sure I'm in shape and I'm hydrated ... I don't want to wear myself out and get exhausted.

AP: Were you surprised by the success of 'Irreplaceable?'

Beyonce: I always knew it was more of a commercial crossover pop record, and it's always someone ... who needs to hear those lyrics to have that anthem so they can be strong and get out of bad situations, get out of negative relationships. It doesn't matter if you're a woman or a man. The song is so powerful, every night, I don't even have to sing it, I can put the mic out and they know every single word.

AP: You auditioned and hired an all-female band for the tour. What has it been like?

Beyonce: I'm used to all females. I grew up in a house with so many women. I love being around women, I love being around talented women and supportive women. Everyone is so supportive of each other. We do things together, like yesterday we went skating; I rented out a roller skating rink for all of us and everybody's families to come. Also, I have eight female dancers and four males ... they are the only men on the tour, I feel bad for them being around all us women!

AP: So it's not true that women can't get along?

Beyonce: I was afraid of that in the beginning when I had the idea. I was like, this will never work ... (but) I found focused and incredible musicians that are just as good or better than any guy. And then I was like, well, even if I do find it, after a while, there will be some problems.
(Laughs.) But it hasn't been any problems, and everyone is just talented and secure and excited.

AP: I've been reading you're going to do another musical — Elton John's 'Aida.'

Beyonce: Oh yeah, I read that too. The 'Aida' thing? I mean, I would love that, it sounds like a good idea. But I haven't had any meetings about it.

AP: The gossip sites are always running something about you. Do you troll them? Do you ever feel like posting an anonymous comment?

AP: Sometimes I'll run across certain things, usually in the paper, because I read the paper more so than the Web. There's one or two sites that I can go to. But if I go on the Internet and try to see what people are saying, I'll probably want to crawl under a rock. (Laughs.) Because I'm still human and certain things, it just hurts, so I try not to read the Internet too much.
