Beyoncé Is Bootylicious In A Bikini
Another high note for Beyoncé — the coveted cover shot of this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
The singer and now movie star ("Dreamgirls") posed on a Florida beach in a yellow and pink bikini by House of Dereon, the fashion label she started with her mother, Tina Knowles. There's also a photo spread inside.
"The Dreamgirl As You've Never Seen Her," a cover headline teases.
The 2007 swimsuit edition continues with a music theme inside, featuring scantily-clad models posing with Kanye West, Aerosmith, Kenny Chesney, Gnarls Barkley and Panic! At the Disco for the camera of Steve Erle.
A five-page spread featuring Russian Anne Vyalitsyna was shot at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in September.

"Once the decision was made to have a music hook, one of the first settings to come up was the Rock Hall, because it's such an iconic place," said Sports Illustrated spokesman Rick McCabe. "It was a natural fit."
Vyalitsyna posed with Jon Bon Jovi's motorcycle and other Rock Hall items.
A pair of 3-D glasses comes with the newsstand edition of the magazine for a 3-D spread that includes models Yamila Diaz-Rahi and Veronica Varekova.
