Popstar Beyoncé, who is readying the release of her fourth album 4, is featured on the cover of the new issue of Essence magazine. In the self-penned coverstory titled Eat, Play, Love, Beyoncé shares with the Essence readers what her year off from work was like. Apparently, she truly took the entire year off to just relax and enjoy her fabulously extravagant life. Who know? Click below to see Bey‘s Essence coverphoto and read a short excerpt from her coverstory.

Janet Jackson, who has been rocking a pretty hot short hair’do lately, is featured on the cover of the new issue of Essence magazine with a full head of beautiful hair. It’s not clear if this is a photo that was snapped before Janet lopped off all of her hair or if she’s wearing a fabulous wig but she looks amazing on the cover:

“It took me a good minute to get here, it really did. But I love my life. I only wish I had this confidence when I was younger…”–Janet Jackson

BEFORE SUNSET… Following the success of “Why Did I Get Married Too?” and while working on Tyler Perry’s next film, “For Colored Girls…,” Janet Jackson directed her own romantic drama and cast sexy “CSI: Miami” star Adam Rodriguez as her costar. Lights, camera, action! Plus, don’t miss Janet’s performance at the upcoming ESSENCE Music Festival this Fourth of July weekend in New Orleans…

This is the Janet I love … classic, smiley Janet. I know she’s still going thru the pain of losing her brother Michael Jackson but she seems to have soldiered thru the worst of it about as successfully as can be expected. Not only is her acting career going well but she’s still going strong with her singing career … she will be performing this weekend at the Essence Music Festival In New Orleans and I can’t wait to hear all about it! It’s really very cool to see JJ lookin’ so happy again.

Beyoncé is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Essence magazine wherein she FINALLY comes clean and confirms (what we all knew already) that she DID MARRY Jay-Z (née Shawn Carter) earlier this year in April (so, congrats again B-Jay!). Additionally, her as-yet-untitled album has, at last, been titled — according to BeyonceWorld.net the album will be called I Am … Here are a few of Beyoncé‘s Essence mag photos and portions of her revelatory interview:

Beyonce is finally breaking her silence on her hush-hush wedding to Jay-Z. The singer, 27, tells November’s Essence that she kept their April wedding at Jay-Z’s NYC apartment quiet and small because she is not a “traditional woman.” She adds, “It’s been my day so many days already.” Despite being engaged, she never confirmed rumors or wore a ring. “People put too much emphasis on that,” says the singer, whose new album drops Nov. 18. “It’s just material, and it’s just silly to me.” (Instead, the couple have matching IV tattoos on their ring fingers. They were each born on the fourth day of a month – Beyonce on September 4; Jay-Z, December 4. They wed on April 4.) Beyonce — who’s been dating the rapper since 2002 — says she wasn’t surprised when they walked down the aisle. “We’ve been together a long time,” she says. “We always knew it would happen.” “What Jay and I have is real,” she goes on. “It’s not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It’s real.” Jay-Z recently hinted at a desire to have a baby. “Most people I guess dream of having a family some day,” he told reporters in NYC, “so I’m just a regular American boy.”

I’m glad that B has finally decided to end the nonsense of not disclosing that she and Jay got married. While I understand that celebs want to keep certain things about their private life quiet, it strikes me as silly when they maintain a total radio silence when other folks in the know talk freely about their biz (you may recall that Mary J. Blige publicly congratulated B-Jay on their nuptials the day after they were wed). I, personally, do not find it intrusive to know if a celebrity is married. But, in any event, B-Jay must’ve had their reasons for staying mum … and have finally given confirmation.

Yesterday, we got to hear Beyoncé‘s two new singles, If I Were A Boy and Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) and today we learn that those tracks (of the reported “60 to 70 songs” that she recorded) are the first to be released from her newly titled album I Am …, which is due for release in December. So much new info from Beyoncé today, I don’t even know what to do with myself!
