Beyoncé, who appears to be on pretty much every single magazine cover in existence these days, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Elle magazine. So until she lands the covers of Field & Stream and Good Housekeeping, take a gander at her Elle mag cover and check out a portion of her coverstory interview:
Tina Knowles on the time she slapped Beyoncé during a promotional appearance for acting like a diva: “My husband came up and said, ‘Tina! She’s got the No. 1 record on the radio!’ I said, ‘I don’t care!’ I was terrified. I had seen people take your child and turn them into something you didn’t want them to be. I taught my girls to pick up their own suitcases. Pretty is as pretty does. Like my mother said, ‘You got to be cute on the inside.’ “
On what her romantic education has taught her: “The worst thing you can do is press [someone]. Because I’m satisfied with myself, things that are supposed to happen will happen.”
On love: “Find somebody who makes you a better person. You are who you’re around. And if I don’t want to be like you, I don’t want to be around you.”
On the hardest thing about her marriage to Jay-Z: “It is a power struggle. But if I didn’t respect someone and they didn’t have that strength, then I would be bored. I wouldn’t be attracted to them. But at the same time, I’m not looking for someone to dominate me.”
On having children: “No way! I’m terrified of delivering a child because I saw my nephew being born. That traumatized me. I’m only 27. I’ve got time.”
On being able to express her dark side by playing the role of Etta James: “I’m a people pleaser. I hold a lot of things in. I’m always making sure everybody is okay. I usually don’t rage; I usually don’t curse. So for me, it’s a great thing to be able to scream and say whatever I want.”
On how the Etta James role changed her: “My mom had to leave the set. I don’t normally curse. Maybe twice a year. I have to be really livid. Somebody saying things or scheduling something where I’m not in control. It was freeing, but it was also the most emotionally draining time of my life. Everyday I would come home, my eyes would be completely swollen.”
Meh. What is left for B to say that she hasn’t already said in every other magazine? But, if you’re interested, you can read this Elle piece HERE. It’s nice to know, tho, that Beyoncé isn’t too big in the britches to get slapped by her mama. I hope Tina Knowles continues to keep Sasha Fierce in line with a little backslap when needed ;) After the jump, check out a few photos from B‘s Elle magazine photospread …
Again with the raccoon eye make-up — it’s too harsh. The over-the-top shoulderpad thingies aren’t even worthy of a comment. She looks good in the purple, tho. Personally, I think she looked much better overall in German GQ mag.

I wish she would go away, she’s very beautiful, but I am really sick of this girl.. And Sasha Fierce… come on now B. Ur 27 not “only 27″ pop out some damn kids and leave it alone….
not a fan….i havent really liked any of her photoshoots lately… and the covers keep getting worse….
Not that I’m looking hard or anything… but do I see a nipple on the cover shot?
That cover photo looks super awkward…
i love B. yea she might have overdone it with the whole ‘sasha fierce’ thing but gotta admit, the girls got game. not only is she just 27 and so accomplished..miss B managed to get hip hops most notorious bachelor to settle down. thats hot.
ps…did everyone always love madonnas fashion sense? we still love HER. fashion is just a statement..sometimes you gotta be bold!
Sasha Fierce=her worst mistake EVER. The girl has catchy tunes, and BETTER than Britney, but she’s far more annoying. I think Jennifer Hudson should have played Etta. Why does Beyonce get all these roles? Is she that much of a box office draw?On a side note, Jay Z is fugly.
Don’t like the Pics, She looks Good, but i hate The Outfits, Esp those Shoulderpads, But still I’m Glad her career is doing great, even if i don’t like her new album…
Im50000Mayja – What the hell? 27 is not old . Many women in their late 30s have children nowadays. And you should not “pop out kids” just to get it over with. You should do it if or when you are emotionally ready and mature .
On a different note, I am so glad to finally see a celebrity’s mother who actually parents and keeps her daughter in line instead of riding on her coattails or being a fame whore.
her face on the cover is……….creepy. like creepy as hell creepy.
Those 4 pics are more Tyra’s speed. I think the “Sasha F” thing is overdone too.
She looks really, um, worn? Fire those photoshoppers! lol
Is it me or is Beyonce and Tyra Banks the same person?? Both are egotistical biznitches… both have horrible taste in fashion… and both look like bad drag queens on acid.
Do I rest my case.. or do I rest my case?!
BTW.. I’m 31 so if 27 is OLD.. damn, I must be ancient.
Okay….so britney is not old? wtf?
Haters, they’d do anything to bring her down. Poor things.
Bored with her she needs to give everyone a break and go away a few years !!!No one would let Britney get away with dancing and doesn’t even pretend to sing,it looks weird her voice playing in the background and her lips don’t move.
Her breast look WoNkY!
Not digging the makeup.. What’s up with B lately? Her make-up has not been looking natural at all..
Beyonce irks the fuck out of me. She is so annoying.
I LOVE B!.. but I don’t like her eye make-up here, makes her like too old!
Loves the dress though!
:)
I MUST SAY IM NOT HATER BUT I CANNOT FREAKIN STAND BEYONCE!!! HER AND JAY Z THINK THAT THEY ARE THE BEST EVER AND THEIR S*** DONT STINK! SURE SHE CAN SING, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT SOUNDS GOOD, OR THAT EVERYONE LIKES IT. PLUS THE WHOLE I WILL WIN AN OSCAR CRAP SOMEDAY NEEDS TO GO. I WOULD BE BEYOND HAPPY IF HER AND STUPID SNAPPIN TURTLE LOOKIN A$$ WENT OFF 2 AN ISLAND AND NEVER MADE MUSIC OR SHOWED UP IN THE MEDIA AGAIN, SORRY. THEY ARE JUST ANNYOING!
Beyonce is Beautiful. That cover photo is Real Housewives of Atlanta NOT.
