Beyonce is the bomb on cover of GQ magazine

Thank you, GQ, for delivering a whole lot of Beyonce, just as we’re prepping to see, well, a whole lot of Beyonce.

The singer rocks her fabulous curves on the mag’s February cover as the first of its 100 sexiest women of the 21st century. And we gotta ask, she had a baby? With that body?

The 31-year-old’s tiny, sporty crop top and red-and-black leopard-print panties cannot tell a lie (though of course retouching can fib a little). And yes, Rihanna set the bar high on the December GQ cover wearing less on the bottom, but Queen B doesn’t have to share the spotlight with Channing Tatum and Ben Affleck.

So how much more Bey can we expect in the near future?

Well, she’s performing the national anthem at President Obama’s second inauguration on Jan. 21, then headlining the Super Bowl halftime show Feb. 3, introduced by 50 lucky fans. And don’t forget her big-bucks deal to promote Pepsi products. Coming soon to a can near you, and all that ...

The mag hits newsstands next Tuesday.
