Beyoncé is taking her promo jaunt for her new album to the front cover of Essence’s November issue. The usually tight-lipped singer is finally opening up a bit about her marriage to hip-hop mogul Jay-Z. She tells the magazine, “What Jay and I have is real. It’s not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It’s real.”

Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah, and Alicia Keys grace the cover of Ebony’s November issue, and talk about divalicious! But there were no diva-tudes on the set of this shoot. The ladies get along remarkably together and with their other Secret Life of Bees co-stars. The Oscar buzz swarming, let’s hope it doesn’t take an ugly turn much like Jennifer’s first shot at the gold with another R&B diva (see above).

The ladies talk politics, their new movie and much more in the issue. Check out Ebony’s official site for some behind the scenes video.

Check out our favorite singing twins Jess and Lisa of The Veronicas on the cover of Australian Rolling Stone’s November issue.

Rapper TI appears on the cover of Giant magazine’s October/November issue. In the issue he talks about those dang pesky run-ins with the law, politics, and his new album, Paper Trial.

In other TI news, his new album is expected to top the Billboard 200 Album chart selling close to 500,000 copies in the first week. Sure to keep the album near the top of the charts is the third single from the set, “Live Your Life” featuring Rihanna. The video was shot last weekend.
