Beyonce in swimsuit issue
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Beyonce has hit another high note, claiming the coveted cover shot of this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in a yellow-and-pink bikini.
"The Dreamgirl As You've Never Seen Her," a cover headline teases. There's also a photo spread inside the magazine.
The 2007 swimsuit edition continues with a music theme inside featuring scantily clad poses modeling with Kane West, Aerosmith, Kenny Chesney.
The 25-year-old singer-actress ("Dreamgirls") posed on a Florida beach in the bikini designed by House of Dereon, the fashion label she started with her mother, Tina Knowles.
Gnarls Barkley and Panic! At the Disco.
A five-page page featuring Russian Anne Vyalitsyna was shot at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland 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."
Valitsyna posed with Jon Bon Jovi's motorcycle and other Rock Hall items.
The magazine portrayed the museum with respect, said Todd Mesek, Rock Hall spokesman
"We felt it would've been an omission if we werent included," he said.
