From hip-hop to pop, a graceful, and grateful, diva stays on top
Even when she was only a third of the girl group Destiny's Child, many had a feeling she was just that—the one destined for stardom. Sure enough, after hauling in a cache of awards and selling millions of records with the group, she finally went solo, and Beyoncé Knowles—the Houston kid who sang "Imagine" at her first talent show at age 7—became simply, Beyoncé. As divas go, she's been a doozy: becoming the first black woman to win ASCAP's Pop Songwriter of the Year Award; lighting up the big screen as Foxxy Cleopatra in Goldmember and a Diana Ross like warbler in Dreamgirls; making one of the best videos of all time, the sublime hip-shaker "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)." The cherry on the cake is her marriage to rap mogul Jay-Z, with whom she comprises the music industry's most powerful couple. Beauty, astonishing pipes, all the talent in the world—pretty much a no-brainer for destiny. "I'm so blessed to wake up every morning and do what I love," she said. "I don't take it for granted." Fans shouldn't either.

It's cute, but they could've gone into more detail.
Anyways, it's cool that she got a 2-page spread.
