"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 feel like if everyone knows my stuff, it’ll take the beauty and pureness out of it."
- Beyonce
Is there anything Beyonce can't do? It's hard to list
all of her accomplishments, but the multi-talented star got her start
heading the R&B group Destiny's Child, whose chart-topping hits
include "Say My Name," "No, No, No" and "Independent Women." She later
ventured out on her own and released her debut album, 2003's Dangerously
In Love, which garnered her five Grammy Awards in a single night. She
then released her sophomore album in 2006, B'Day, which debuted at No. 1
on the Billboard charts; her third solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, in
November of 2008; and her fourth album, aptly titled 4, in June of 2011.
Of course, Beyonce also acts. You can see her foxy self in Austin
Powers in Goldmember (2002), The Fighting Temptations (2003), The Pink
Panther (2006), Dreamgirls (2006), Cadillac Records (2008) and Obsessed
(2009). If, like us, you can't wait to see her return to the big screen,
she'll be back in a remake of A Star Is Born directed by Clint
Eastwood (the scheduled release date has yet to be confirmed). As of
late, it's her personal life that's been getting all the attention. Jay-Z and
Beyonce married in April of 2008. On January 7, 2012, Beyonce gave
birth to Blue Ivy Carter, and since then people can't stop talking about
the baby, her pregnancy and what lies ahead for the most powerful
family in hip-hop. 
In 2009, Beyonce appeared on the big screen in the flick Obsessed, costarring Idris Elba. Beyonce played the wife of an asset manager who starts getting stalked by a temp worker, played by Ali Larter, who works in his office.
Beyonce Releases 4Beyonce Knowles released her fourth studio album 4 on June 24, 2011, and it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. This album marked her separation from her manager (who also happens to be her father -- yikes), Mathew Knowles.
During her performance at the VMAs, Beyonce told the crowd: “I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me.”
Though the verdict's out on whether the queen of R&B gets along with the queen of reality TV, photos of the happy foursome are quite telling. Beyonce seems to always look a tad uneasy in the groups shots, ducking out of the shot even.

Since giving birth to Blue Ivy Carter, Beyonce's been slowly coming back to stage. She made her post-baby debut in Atlantic City during Memorial Day weekend. She told People, "I'm back to work.
