Beyoncé may have celebrated the first birthday of adorable daughter, Blue, but that doesn’t mean she’s not still Bootylicious. (photos by Terry Richardson).

The 31-year-old told GQ Magazine: ‘I worked so hard during my childhood to meet this goal: by the time I was 30 years old, I could do what I want. I’ve reached that. I feel very fortunate to be in that position. But I’ve sacrificed a lot of things, and I’ve worked harder than probably anyone I know in the music industry. So I just have to remind myself that I deserve it.’

Bey also revealed on her website that Destiny’s Child will be releasing new music later this month! DC also posted to their official Facebook page that this indeed is happening for the first time in 8 years!

Happy Roasting!
