When a loyal reader told me that saloon singer Beyonce was named People magazine’s Most Beautiful Woman, I thought it was a joke.

I guess Gabrielle Union was too black for People magazine?

“I feel more beautiful than I’ve ever felt because I’ve given birth,” says PEOPLE’s 2012 World’s Most Beautiful Woman. “I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth.”

“The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy,” she adds. “The word ‘love’ means something completely different now.” Source

But even more interesting than People considering Beyonce more beautiful than Gabrielle, is the fact that Beyonce has apparently banned attention whore Kim Kardashian from her inner circle.

A friend told Heat magazine:

“Despite Kanye being one of Jay’s closest friends, Beyoncé wasted no time in banning Kim from being invited into their circle, which is exclusive to say the least.”

“Beyoncé is used to hanging out with Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow – she’s in a totally different league to Kim.”

The news will come as a shock to Kimmy, who expected to become the fourth member of the Jay-Bey-‘Ye superfriends club.

“Bey’s marriage to Jay-Z was extremely private, and neither of them confirmed it until long after the event. Kim, on the other hand, turned her wedding into a media circus and the whole thing was filmed for a reality show,” the source explained. Source
