Beyonce Wants To Be An Icon

September 4, 2008 / Posted by: Michael K

Beyonce and somebody else’s waist grace the cover of October’s Marie Claire UK and she tells the magazine that she’s over being a pop star. Raise your hand if you’re over her being a pop star too? Solange! Put your hand down. The basement ghosts will get you for that.

Beyonce said: “There is a time limit on being a pop star, yes. Being a legend, an icon? Absolutely not. I’m over being a pop star. I don’t wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic. And I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.”

She is not right for saying that. Beyonce has millions of dollars, sold gazillions of records, starred in movies and her family probably falls at her feet when she walks through the door. And that’s still not enough?! Meanwhile, poor Solange still has to sit at the kid’s table during Thanksgiving dinner.
