Beyonc had quite a 2009. She performed at President Obama's inauguration, started the "Single Ladies" dance craze, starred in "Obsessed," went on tour and somehow found herself in the middle of the VMA incident involving Taylor Swift and Kanye West.
She gave sexy performances at shows like the VMAs and the MTV Europe Music Awards and teamed up with Lady Gaga on two singles, her track "Video Phone" and Gaga's "Telephone." She also collaborated with Alicia Keys on a track.
So how will Beyonc top herself in 2010? Well, after she performs at the Grammy Awards on January 31, she plans to do a whole lot of nothing. "I've always worked hard, but I feel like I worked harder this past year than I have since I was just starting out. I just had all these great opportunities. ... It's definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries," the singer told USA Today. "I'd like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again."
Beyonc says she promised herself she'd take a break after her I Am ... Tour. She explained, "When I got home, I wrote out a contract with myself. I made a list of everything I want to do that has nothing to do with music. Well, some of it does. But I promised myself that I would not go back on tour or in the studio until I finished these things.
"I want to go to restaurants, maybe take a class, see some movies and Broadway shows," she continued. "[And spend time with my nephew, Daniel]. He's a wonderful kid, amazing, so smart. And I spoil him, so it's a lot of work. He's a 24-hour job."
Before she can do that, she will first see if she can take home any of the 10 Grammy Awards she's up for later this month. She's still reeling from all the nominations. "I still haven't really digested it yet," she said. "I was focused so much on my husband's birthday — I threw a big party — that I didn't really think about it. But it's really an honor."

Always busy on the music scene, Beyonce Knowles wants to take a six-month break.
The “Sweet Dreams” singer is ready to focus more on her personal life, including husband Jay-Z and five-year old nephew Daniel.
“It’s definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries,” she said. “I’d like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again.”
So what type of things will the 28 year-old music star be doing? “I’m going to do random things. I want to go to restaurants, maybe take a class and see some movies and Broadway shows. I’ll spend more time with Daniel. He’s a wonderful kid, amazing, so smart. And I spoil him, so it’s a lot of work. He’s a 24-hour job.”
But it won’t be an easy break for Knowles. “It will be the hardest thing in the world for me to make myself not do an album and shoot a video and turn it in and say, ‘I’m ready!’ I already have all these melodies and ideas in my head,” she said. “I have to tell myself, ‘Sit down! Sit down!’ “

Beyonce has been criticised for performing a private concert for Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi’s son.The 28-year-old beauty has been criticised after reports that she spent New Year’s Eve performing at a party hosted by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s son Moutassim.The event allegedly took place at nightclub Nikki Beach on the island of St Barts in the Caribbean and it is claimed she was paid $2million for entertaining the likes of Usher, Lindsay Lohan and Gaddafi Jr.Marc Lamont Hill, a Columbia University media professor, said on CNN: “Beyonce’s handlers usually make really good decisions about where she’s going to perform…’So it seems to me that someone was asleep at the wheel, or the money was so overwhelming that they said: ‘Screw the public image, we’re going to take the cash.’”

Looking as if they’re no longer to work through their differences, Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles has reportedly filed for divorce.
According to TMZ reports, Mama Knolwes submitted the necessary court papers in Harris County, Texas last month - ending 29-years of marriage with soon to be ex-husband Mathew.
In brighter news, Beyonce continues to push forth with branching business endeavors - as the Cody beauty line will release her first fragrance, Beyonce Heat, in February.
Talking about her new scent, Miss Knowles tells WWD, “Everything, from the bottle design to the name and the ideas for the commercials —- that’s me. When I commit to something, I do it 100 percent, and I’ve never had [creative control over a fragrance] until this project.”
Beyonce adds, “I wasn’t worried about deadlines. It could have taken me three, four, however many years—this was my first fragrance, and I wanted to make sure that it was something I would love forever.”

At the concert, Beyonce was joined onstage by Jay during her hit “Crazy in Love,” setting the crowd into a frenzy.
But the biggest surprise of the night was when Ms. Knowles announced “Give it up for Kanye West” and the controversial rapper joined her for “Ego,” his first onstage appearance since the MTV Video Music Awards/ Taylor Swift snafu.

Spending time in London as she continues along with her tour duties, Beyonce Knowles was spotted enjoying an evening out at Kanaloa Nightclub on Friday (November 13).
The 28-year-old singer was in the company of several security guards as she partied the night away at the new London hotspot, later heading back to her room at the Madarin hotel for some much-needed beauty sleep.
Known for her love of clothing, recent reports tell that, earlier in the week, Miss Knowles booked a hotel room just for her luggage while staying at the ritzy Lowry in Manchester.
An insider at Liverpool’s Malmaison Hotel, where Beyonce took out at room to store her 12 bags, said: “She had seven suitcases, three hand-luggage bags and two boxes, all for her mammoth gig. In the cases there were, apparently, 14 dresses, lots of shoes, make-up and 25 wigs.”
