With the up coming edition of Vogue coming out in April, Beyonce talks about her career and how one of the things she is most scared about is being a role model for the Obama girls.

Beyonce talks about that very special performance she did at the inauguration ball where she sang ‘At Last’ and told reporters about a phone call she received from Michelle Obama a few days later thanking her for performing.

“She told me she was very happy that her girls have someone like me to look up to,” says Beyonce. “And I’m like, ‘Oh, my God.’”

“You have to feel fortunate to be one of the people whom parents don’t mind their children looking up to. The older I get, the more I think about the amount of influence I have on these young girls, and it’s scary sometimes,” she adds. “But I also understand how lucky I am to have that.”

Beyonce says she owes a lot of her success and togetherness to her family who have kept her grounded through the last few years as she rose to stardom, “We all did this together”.

She even talks about husband Jay Z and the kind of support and encouragement he gives her, “I definitely have learned to be a little more picky from Jay,” she says. Because if something makes a lot of sense to everyone else, if he doesn’t feel it, he’s like, ‘I don’t want to talk about it.’ Which is great.”

Look out for the latest edition of Vogue with Beyonce on the cover.

After what some may call a ‘heart-felt’ apolpgy from Chris Brown in which he stated that he is “saddened … over what transpired” in relation to the assault of his girlfriend Rihanna which took place just over a week ago, Gayle King seems to think that nothing he said excuses him from his actions.

Heres what Gayle King had to say in a recent interview with ‘Extra’, “I can’t think of anything that makes me support anything that Chris Brown is saying at this time,”

“And my heart just aches for Rihanna.”

‘Us Magazine’ spoke to many other celebrities about the alleged assault which involved Chris Brown and Rihanna and here’s what they had to say.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD
“I don’t think anybody actually knows what happened. I have no advice because, thank goodness, I’ve never been in any kind of abusive situation. You hear a new one every five minutes, and some of them are getting kind of ridiculous. I really hope everyone will lay off and just let everybody who’s involved figure out everything first.”

JAY-Z
“This is a real situation. You have to have compassion for others. Just imagine it being your sister or mom and then think about how we should talk about that. I just think we should all support her. She’s going through a tough time. You have to realize she’s a young girl, as well. She’s very young.”

KELLIE PICKLER
“I think the world would be a better place if people worried more about what they needed to do to be better people, than … judging others on what kind of people they are. I don’t know what really went on with Rihanna and Chris, and I don’t think anyone else does, either. The only people who really, truly know are only the two of them, so I am not going to assume or comment. I’m going to mind my own business.”

HEIDI MONTAG
“I don’t know what happened there, but our thoughts and prayers go out to both of them. It’s such a crazy situation. I hope everything heals. I don’t know what to say.”

LINDSAY LOHAN
“I have no comment on that. That’s not my relationship. I have no reason to speak about it. I think they’re both great people.”

LUPE FIASCO
“They are great live and both are good people. It’s a tragedy.”

MOLLY SIMS
“It’s so sad. I don’t think anybody knows the whole truth, but I guess the truth really doesn’t matter when [abuse] is the result. That should never happen, no matter what. And I love his music. That being said, I think [about] Rihanna: No girl, no woman, no mother, no sister, no friend, no one deserves that. Absolutely.”

RUBEN STUDDARD
“I’m still praying for him. Everybody always has something negative to say about everything, and I always try to be positive. They’ve both made wonderful careers for themselves, and I think they will continue to do so for the rest of their lives.”

MARY J. BLIGE
“They’re both young and beautiful people, and that’s it.”

MARK CURRY
“Women, throughout history, have been beaten and prostituted. Even today in movies and music, they’re portrayed as low-grade, so you know, he’s a youngster, and he can correct his ways. It’s just a tragedy - women and abuse.”
