Simply due to her status, Beyonce is in the news on a daily basis, regarding her personal life. When she first entered the music industry, Beyonce dreamed of having a major career. Now an eight year solo veteran, she has been hailed as the modern-day version of Tina Turner.

Only three albums deep, Beyonce is considered by many as the top female in pop and R&B. Often, she runs neck-in-neck with her husband, Jay-Z's protege`, Rihanna. However, Rihanna has released many more albums than Beyonce. With her busy schedule, Beyonce hardly has time to put albums out.

But, following a three year gap between album releases, Beyonce intends to release her fourth studio album. Her single, "Run the World," has already become a hit. Aside from her new music, the native of Houston is still winning awards. Recently, she was honored by Billboard and will soon be presented with the Billboard Milliennium Award at the Billboard Music Awards.

The show will be broadcast on ABC at 8:00 pm tonight. Beyonce has won over sixteen Grammy awards, both as a solo artist and as a vocalist with Destiny's Child.
