What a babe!

Beyonce Knowles stepped out in New York City on Friday, and not only did she finally take out her Met Gala ponytail, but she flashed photographers her megawatt smile. Bey's locks are about as blonde as Britney Spears' weave these days, but the R&B superstar looks amazing, so we'll cut her a break.

With Mothers' Day right around the corner, Beyonce's mom Tina penned a letter to her daughter and shared the message with fans. Tina wrote:
    Beyoncé, I wish people could see how you are when you’re not in front of the camera or on the stage. How compassionate and kind you are to people, how you look them right in the eye when you speak to them. How hard you work, how generous you are with your time and money. How you don’t care if anyone knows about it because you do it from the heart. I wish they could see you with the Make-A-Wish Foundation kids, how patient you are and how your love has helped to extend lives. Yes, you are a huge star, but you have somehow managed to stay grounded and humble in the wake of all your success."

Awww!
