B-DAY!
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter turns 27 today and is featured on the cover of the October issue of UK’s Marie Claire. She says she is over being a pop star and now wants to be ‘a legend, an icon.’ Take note Solange!
“I’m over being a pop star. I don’t wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic. And I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.”
Beyoncé also talks about her success. “I am really proud that I am one of the artists that has the opportunity to be on magazine covers and to be in the movies. And I do think that I’m opening doors for more black women, just like Halle [Berry] and Diana Ross opened doors for me.’
The seven Grammy award winner, is set to release her next album in November and has a couple of movies coming out. She will be seen in the upcoming biographical film, Cadillac Records, a musical drama written and directed by African-American film director Darnell Martin. She had to put on 20 lbs for her role playing soul singer Etta James. She had to then quickly loose that weight for her next film, Obsessed, opposite Idris Elba. Wow! She’s the female Tom Hanks!
