To quote from the writer of the Superficial:

For some reason the clowns at Sports Illustrated decided to put Beyonce on the cover of their 2007 Swimsuit Issue, a privilege usually reserved for the baddest ass of supermodels. I'm not saying she doesn't look great in her bikini (because she does) she just has no business being there. This isn't Entertainment Weekly, it's the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Beyonce has about as much right being there as a dog dressed in a silly hat and a cape.

I think that pretty much sums it up.

Well, this isn't much of a defense, but in a sense, aren't models celebrities, as well? Perhaps not as far-reaching as actresses, but Gemma Ward, Tyra Banks, and Gisele Bundchen have all become house-hold names.

I agree, I think models are celebrities.

Anyways, I don't see a problem with Beyonce being on the cover. A lot of used to be models are now actors/actresses, so I don't see why this should be any different.

And Tyra has her own talk-show and she's a model, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have the right to do it. Just because she's not an Oprah, doesn't mean she has no business there. I guess this is what I think about Beyonce too.
