I checked the sweet internet earlier in the day to see exactly what time sunset was in Yellowstone. I have the sunrise/sunset website bookmarked, which is kinda strange, maybe… Anyway, It said 7:03 or something like that. I knew full well that it means the exact moment when the sun dips below [...]

After strutting her bikini body poolside in Miami on Friday, Beyonce kept her sunglasses on for a dip with Solange. She deserves a break after a whole lot of hard work on her new album, and a little sun and swimming sounds like the perfect vacation. Of course, it's no romantic getaway with Jay-Z, but sometimes a little sisterly bonding can be just as much fun. Splash News Online
