SECURITY BREACH: NEW 'STAR WARS' FLICK SCREENED BY NET REPORTER

Knowles, whose Ain't It Cool website regularly out scoops the Hollywood press from his Texas outpost, has hit maximum controversy by being the first person to see the film outside George Lucas's tightly controlled production crew.

Knowles even boasts that no one from FOX has seen a cut of the movie yet!

Knowles says that while at a book signing in Austin this weekend he was extended a secret invitation by a mystery source for a private viewing at a hotel room during the South by Southwest Film Festival.
