Beyonce’s covering the March ‘09 issue of Cosmo UK.
A snippet:
Despite being open about herself, Beyoncé is very private when it comes to her relationships:
“There are certain things that are kind of obvious, and if you start talking, the questions will never stop. I think there’s more to life than sharing it with everyone … At school, if I dated someone, I didn’t tell everyone. I fee like if everyone knows my stuff, it’ll take the beauty and pureness out of it.”This privacy extended to her wedding to Jay-Z last April which was a small private ceremony shrouded in secrecy:“I’ve never been the girl who went to a wedding and thought, ‘Oooh, I want to get married.’ So I didn’t want anything big and dramatic [for my wedding day] … And I think that people can put way too much emphasis on the day. It’s just so temporary and it goes in a second … I think it’s important for women to have their moment, whether it’s your prom or your birthday … but to me, marriage is not about that moment. It’s about something way deeper.”

Leonardo DiCapro The actor's off-again, on-again main squeeze, Bar Refaeli, is next month's Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl, according to a big ol' billboard in Manhattan.
The 23-year-old Israeli model broke out of the pack after languishing on the inside of the magazine's most buzzed-about installment for the past two years.
SI's cover, featuring Refaeli and her tan lines in a multicolored string bikini next to the tease line "Bikinis or nothing," was first unveiled during tonight's episode of the Late Show With David Letterman, which tapes at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York, right across the street from the revealing billboard.
And in related news, authorities are responding to reports of a six-car collision across the street from the Ed Sullivan Theater

Chris Brown will not be rising from the ashes in Phoenix this weekend.
The R&B star, arrested last night for allegedly assaulting girlfriend Rihanna, has pulled out of his scheduled appearance Sunday at the 2009 NBA All-Star Game.
The 19-year-old had been tapped to introduce the players with Shaquille O'Neal before tip-off at Phoenix's US Airways Center. His "No Air" partner Jordin Sparks will be singing the national anthem.
"Chris Brown has withdrawn from NBA All-Star events," an NBA spokeswoman confirmed to E! News today.
The big-time basketball fan had also been planning to play Friday in the annual All-Star Celebrity Game, part of the weekend-long festivities.
The cancellation is no surprise considering both Brown and Rihanna scratched their scheduled performances at yesterday's Grammy Awards and Rihanna is expected to scrap a concert Friday in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Besides, any participation on Brown's part would surely be overshadowed by questions about really happened between him and his chart-topping girlfriend. Earlier Monday, gum purveyor Wrigley announced it was pulling all running advertisements for Doublemint Gum featuring the "Kiss Kiss" singer.

TI covers the March issue of Blender magazine and is featured inside with his adorable son Major. In the article, He reveals his been arrested atleast 32 times (I hope he was joking) and talks about how he will pass his time while in the pen.
“You stay to yourself as much as possible. Speak when spoken to. And just mind your business. You ain’t there to make friends. You just there to do your time and go home. Some luxuries are available in some facilities that aren’t available in others. Some facilities have a TV, but you can’t watch it ’cause cats in there wild out so much. I’ll read the Bible a lot. Biographies, magazines. I don’t really read fiction. I read for information, rather than for entertainment. I’ll talk on the phone a lot. I’ll spend a whole day on the phone, checkin’ on what’s goin’ on, makin’ sure things are taken care of. Ain’t a lot to do.”
After the media blitz that ensued after he was charged with one count felony criminal threats against his Rihanna on Sunday night, Chris Brown has another thing to worry about, his endorsement deals.
Wrigley gum has now suspended all advertisements featuring the R&B star, including the popular commercial that even played during the telecast of the 51st Grammy Awards.
A company spokesperson tells Us Weekly:
“Wrigley is concerned by the serious allegations made against Chris Brown. We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen. However, we have made the decision to suspend the current advertising featuring Brown and any related marketing communications until the matter is resolved.”

Director Rachid Bouchareb, is setting up a movie on the early life of legendary civil rights
activist Angela Davis and in a recent interview with THR, he said he wants Beyonce to play the leading role:
“I want Beyonce Knowles
to play Angela Davis,” he said. “It’s a great dramatic role for her.”
Bouchareb, who will produce the movie through his French production company
, plans to shoot in summer 2010 with a budget in the region of $20 - $30 million.
