As the front woman for one of the most popular groups of all time, Destiny’s Child, and a multi-platinum selling solo artist, Beyonce is known the world over for her soulful voice, infectious smile and ladylike poise. In the last few years, this Southern belle has also carried her talent onto the big screen, starring in such films as Austin Powers: Goldmember (2002), The Pink Panther (2006) and the critically acclaimed, award-season favorite Dreamgirls (2006).
Beyonce’s accomplishments over the last year have helped skyrocket her from last year’s No. 50 position to the coveted No. 1 spot (and deservedly so). Yes, she’s breathtakingly beautiful -- with sexy curves, wide eyes and luscious lips that make her every man’s fantasy woman -- but add a few scoops of talent to that beauty and you have the perfect 10. Beyonce not only proves that she looks great on the red carpet, but she demonstrates that she actually deserves to be on it.Not only did she help Destiny’s Child sell a total of 60 million albums and singles worldwide from 1998 to 2005, but her solo albums, Dangerously in Love (2003) and B’Day (2006), went platinum many times over and garnered her a combined 11 Grammy Award nominations in 2004 and 2007. At the 2004 Grammys, she took home five of the six awards she was nominated for.2006 was Beyonce’s year; B’Day sold more than 541,000 copies in the U.S. in its first week, giving her the record once held by Christina Aguilera as the highest first-week sales of any solo female artist that year. This also marked the year that Beyonce made her biggest and brightest silver-screen performance as Deena Jones in Dreamgirls. She received much critical praise for her role, and even garnered a coveted Golden Globe Award nomination.And while she has all the talent and beauty in the world, Beyonce’s big heart is what makes her the perfect woman. Her most notable philanthropic efforts have included becoming a global ambassador for the 2005 World Children's Day program, and forming the Survivor Foundation that same year for Hurricane Katrina victims in the Houston, Texas area.This female powerhouse has taken the world by storm and has certainly proven that everything she touches turns to gold.
Beyonce’s stream of good luck from 2006 has already carried over into 2007. The star garnered nominations for some of the most prestigious awards in the industry, including a Golden Globe nomination and multiple Grammy nods.
