Bey is back.
After a publicity tour touting her hot post-Blue Ivy bod on the covers of dudely mags like GQ (and despite scandalizing America by lip-syncing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Obama's inauguration), Beyonce made her big return last night at Super Bowl XLVII.
She rocked a supertight, sweaty leather bodysuit. She reunited with her fellow Destiny's Child divas. She worked and twerked that famous badonk. Girl was goin' all glamazon for the football masses.
And just like hubby Jay-Z woulda, Queen Bey capitalized on the synergy of the halftime moment, announcing the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, shaking its plentiful booty into Fort Lauderdale's BB&T Center and Miami's American Airlines Arena on July 9 and 10.
