 Beyonce Loses Out on Houston Rockets, CNBC Star Gets Team Instead 
 
 Beyonce's hopes of buying the Houston Rockets just got pushed to the left ... to the left -- instead, the team will be sold to billionaire restaurateur Tilman Fertitta. A league source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, however, that Fertitta agreed to purchase the team from Leslie Alexander for $2.2 billion, a record sale price for an NBA franchise. Alexander bought the team for $85 mil in 1993 ... so, not a bad investment for that guy!
– Beyonce will not be adding "basketball team owner" to her impressive resume, at least not yet. The singer was rumored to be part of an investment group looking to buy the Houston Rockets, but the group lost out to billionaire restaurateur Tilman Fertitta, TMZ reports. Fertitta will reportedly buy the team from current owner Leslie Alexander for $2.2 billion (a record price for an NBA team, ESPN reports); Alexander originally bought the team for $85 million in 1993. Fertitta, who stars in the CNBC reality series Billion Dollar Buyer, is reportedly worth $3.1 billion.
