Beyonce is the April 2011 covergirl for Cosmopolitan UK. She's dishing her sexy bedroom secrets, how she gets in the mood, and her guilty pleasures.
We've got some highlights, plus the demands on Beyonce, Usher, and Mariah to give back their millions they received from Libyan dictator Muammar Qadaffi, when you read on....
Bey got her smile on for the new April 2011 issue of Cosmo UK. She's looking fab on the cover as she dishes on her secrets of seduction:
On how she likes to get her sexy on: “Put on good music and something that makes you feel great. I love a pair of high, sexy stilettos with a beautiful dress. You can be beautiful but if you’re not secure in yourself, you don’t come across as sexy.”
On her guilty pleasure: “I love my butter pecan ice cream, but I also love to work out. We all have our issues. Mine is arms and legs, keeping them tight and toned. It takes work, believe me.”
On whether she’ll start a family: “Yes, I do want to embrace what happens next and family. It’s funny how your outlook changes as you get older, how you look at life – at other women – in a different way. I have so much admiration for women who are mothers, who balance family and work.”
But it's not all smiles in Beyland. Folks are up in arms that in light of everything going on in Libya, Beyonce, Usher, 50 Cent and Mariah have not given back the millions they received for recently performing for the dictator Muammar Qadaffi. His dictatorship has been known to kill many of his own people. Rolling Stone reports:
Carey accepted $1 million to perform for Qaddafi's son, Muatassim, Libya's national-security adviser, at a lavish New Year's Eve party on the Caribbean island of St. Barts in 2008; Beyoncé and Usher performed for an undisclosed sum on the island the following year. 50 Cent gave a performance before Muatassim at a 2005 film festival in Venice. Managers for Usher, 50 Cent and Carey declined comment, and Beyoncé's management, run by her father, Mathew Knowles, did not return phone calls. "They've done it for tons of artists," says a music-business source, referring to Muatassim's parties, which are often jammed with supermodels. "Those guys are all over the world."
Qaddafi’s record of brutality and terrorism during his 40-year reign is well-documented – his regime was linked to a 1986 Berlin disco bombing, causing the deaths of two American soldiers, and the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270. Late last month, Libya’s former justice minister told a Swedish newspaper that Qaddafi himself ordered the Pan Am bombing. Muatassim’s brother Seif al-Islam el-Qaddafi recently warned Libyan protesters on state television to abandon the streets or face "rivers of blood."
Videos of Muatassim in a coat, tie and fedora, posing for photos with beautiful women at the Venice festival have circulated on YouTube in the past week. According to media reports, Jay-Z, Lindsay Lohan and supermodels Miranda Kerr and Victoria Silvstedt were in the crowd at St. Barts in 2009; rap mogul Russell Simmons tweeted a photo and caption at the time: "Kevin Lyles [sic] and fiancé Erica @ khadafy party. Beyoncé performing in a bit."
Nelly Furtado has already given her stash received from Qadaffi to charity. And others are being pushed to follow suit. Your thoughts?
