American men's magazine GQ has named Beyonce as the hottest woman of the 21st century.

A sexy photo shoot by Terry Richardson published in the magazine's latest edition proves the point. The 31-year-old singer looks fit and fantastic in the photos, showing off her toned legs and tummy.

Beyonce is set to be super busy in 2013. Her daughter with hip-hop tycoon Jay Z, Blue Ivy, has just turned one, and this month the famous mum will headline the Super Bowl halftime show, as well as premiere an HBO documentary about her family life and career, which she financed, directed, produced, and narrated.

Then there's a little gig planned for January 21: Beyonce will sing the American anthem at President Obama's inauguration. She famously sang the classic 'At Last' by the late Etta James at the inaugural balls 4 years ago.

Still more news was yet to come, with Beyonce announcing this week on her website that Destiny's Child will be releasing their first original music in 8 years on January 29.

And to top it all off, she has a fifth studio album due out in April.

While the 30-year-old megastar loves being a mum, she's also ready to go back to work.

"I love my job, but it's more than that: I need it," she says in the interview.
