Beyonce channels the glamour of 1940s Hollywood glamour for her spread in the July issue of Vogue Italia. The diva’s new album, ’4′, hit stores last week and is on target for a #1 debut in 14 countries, already topping the UK Albums Chart.

Beyonce celebrated US independence as well as the 125 anniversary of the Statue of Liberty at this evening’s ‘Macy’s 4th Of July Fireworks Spectacular’. The singer performed renditions of her new single ‘Best Thing I Never Had’ and her patriotic anthem, ‘God Bless The USA (Proud to be an American)’.

Can’t wait until tomorrow to see Beyonce’s performance at the ‘Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular’? Not to worry because a glimpse of her rehearsal of ‘Proud to be an American’ has surfaced.

Beyonce’s ‘Year of 4′ special finally aired in its entirety just moments ago on MTV. The documentary chronicled the entertainer’s return to the stage and the development of her recently released ’4′ album.
