Beyoncé Goes Holiday Shopping in SoHo

With Christmas just days away, Beyoncé joined last-minute shoppers as she stocked up on some holiday gifts for herself and her loved ones. The pregnant singer, rocking a black leather jacket and animal-print leggings, was spotted leaving Curve women’s boutique in New York City on Wednesday (Dec. 21).

B’s album 4 landed at #3 on the Associated Press’ Best Albums of 2011 list. “It had no big smash singles compared with Beyoncé’s past albums, and underperformed commercially. Artistically, though, it was a triumph,” proclaimed the news organization. Others on the list include Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch the Throne, Frank Ocean’s Nostalgia, Ultra, The Roots’ undun, and Adele’s 21, which comes in at #1.
