Whenever one contemplates the steamroller that is Beyoncé Knowles, one important question comes to mind: How does she do it?

No one other than Beyoncé can manage to kick out other members of the girl group that made her name, to pursue solo superstardom, and still look like an angel – an angel with a killer curvy bod, at that.
In between massive world tours, Pepsi endorsements and setting up her own fashion label, the House of Deréon, Beyoncé added “acting” to her resume, starring in films as varied as Goldmember to the Oscar-nominated Dreamgirls.
Plus, she’s only 30 years old.
