Beyonce; on the Cover of Sports Illustrated

I guess Ms. Jay-Z will get publicity wherever she can nowadays.  I can't recall any other musician that has ever had the cover of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.  Anyone know if Beyoncé is the first?  For further amusement (and to answer the musician question I suppose) you can check out every cover since 1964 right here.  I will quit talking as you aren't reading this anyway and already looking at the pictures, but if you ask me Beyoncé is not all that.  In all honesty, I would have to say she's kinda mannish.  I am not the only one as all the fashion peeps were calling her a tranny at the GRAMMY's. Jay-Z is going to go have a talk with them...
