Singer-turned-actor Beyoncé will grace the cover of this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, wearing a yellow and pink bikini designed by her own fashion label.
The 2007 swimsuit issue takes a music theme, with the bikini-clad models posing with Kanye West, Aerosmith, Kenny Chesney, Gnarls Barkley and Panic! At the Disco.

Beyoncé, 25-year-old star of the Oscar-nominated movie Dreamgirls, was shot on a Florida beach in a bikini designed by House of Dereon, a label she started with her mother Tina Knowles.
Sports Illustrated titles its spread of pictures The Dreamgirl As You've Never Seen Her.
The music theme continues with a five-page spread of Russian Anne Vyalitsyna that was shot at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland.
"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."

But considering the previous movie franchise ended a mere five years ago and that we've been bombarded with stories about the troubled Broadway musical adaptation since then, this reboot does beg the question: Do we really need to revisit Spider-Man?
