Bikini-clad Beyoncé is SI's new Dreamgirl

Beyoncé has hit another high note, claiming the coveted cover shot of this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in a yellow-and-pink bikini.

"The Dreamgirl As You've Never Seen Her," a cover headline teases. There's also a photo spread inside the magazine.

The 25-year-old singer-actress ("Dreamgirls") posed on a Florida beach in the bikini designed by House of Dereon, the fashion label she started with her mother, Tina Knowles.

And what is my point of view about this? Sure she's nice to look at, but isn't this whole thing getting a bit old? It's just not exclusive any more! Even a little boring!

New York may ban iPods while crossing street

"New Yorkers who blithely cross the street listening to an iPod or talking on a cell phone could soon face a $100 fine.

New York State Sen. Carl Kruger says three pedestrians in his Brooklyn district have been killed since September upon stepping into traffic while distracted by an electronic device. In one case bystanders screamed "watch out" to no avail.

Kruger says he will introduce legislation on Wednesday to ban the use of gadgets such as Blackberry devices and video games while crossing the street."

Seriously, what the h*** is this about? Sure he may have a point that people tend not to notice what's around them while listening to their iPod or talking on their mobile phone. What I want to know is how this senetor think this ban will work in practice?

Anyone?
