Yeah, there's a reason the internet doesn't show you this stuff.....
However, I saw it as the jumping off point for a "Fanficcers' Friend" post!
The Doctor has met plenty of famous people in the show, but they're mostly to be found in the "historical" category. Here would be a case where Beyonce could appear in an episode, playing herself, but also portrayed by another actress - if you insist on following the meme to the letter.
Personally, I think you can skip that part of it having to be about a younger Beyonce. And no harm would come from it. Toobworld and BookWorld are expected to have discrepancies in their treatments of the same material and we've seen it happen in 'Doctor Who'. There is the two-party story about the "Family of Blood" ("Human Nature" was the other half of the story.) It started out as a novel featuring the Seventh Incarnation of the Doctor.
Another example was the inspiration for the best 'Doctor Who' story ever - "Blink". That began as a short story in the Doctor Who magazine, still with the Tenth Incarnation but the main character was not the young woman Sally Sparrow (as played by Carey Mulligan.) Instead BookWorld's Sally was a young girl, probably no more than twelve years old.
So in a fanfic story based on this meme, especially with dreams to see it filmed, I think it best to just use the actual Beyonce as she is now.
It gets tricky with the George Lucas story.
So here's one way to deal with it.
First you have to come up with a reason as to why Beyonce is traveling with the Doctor. I think the Doctor and a companion (your choice) go to one of her concerts at which she is attacked by aliens. Why? Maybe her singing voice stimulates the mitosis needed for the aliens to reproduce. But that's up to you.
So the Doctor scoops her up in the TARDIS and takes her on a tour of Time and Space to lose their pursuers. Meanwhile, another Time Lord enters the story - the Meddling Monk, an adversary whom I hope comes back. As he enjoys dabbling in Earth's timeline, on both large and small scales, I could see him grabbing George Lucas out of his personal timeline when he was just six or seven years old and dumping in the present day. Lost in, say, a giant mall, in his panic about this strange world, he sees the Darth Vader figure and is captivated by it.
By pulling Lucas out of his own timeline, the Monk may not have stopped the "Star Wars" franchise, but instead triggered it since he knew the Doctor would come around and bring Li'l Georgie back to approximately 1950. However, the George Lucas who returned was now contaminated with a future idea. And there was also the problem of Beyonce giving him a hundred dollar bill that wasn't even being printed back in 1950!
It would be a minor glitch in the timeline that would always puzzle the Doctor - if the Monk had not kidnapped George Lucas, would there have been a "Star Wars"?
Basically that's how I would play it out. How about you? If you write this up as your own fanfic with your own additions, let me know where I can find it to read it.
BCnU!
