Beyonce 'GQ' Cover Leaks, the Internet Goes Crazy and 'GQ' Releases the Real Version

Even in an age where the Web trumps print, GQ still knows how to cause a scene. Whether it's with Alison Brie and Gillian Jacobs pics or another round of Kate Upton shots, GQ has a knack for making the Internet go crazy. If a leaked version of the magazine's next cover is any indication, GQ isn't done dominating your Twitter feed.

When a blurry shot of a GQ cover featuring Beyonce hit the Internet this week, the magazine first tried to cover up the leak. (They have no interest in covering up Beyonce, but that leak was another story.) Within a day, though, GQ got smart and realized that while it may have not wanted its Beyonce cover to debut this way, they could capitalize on the publicity the leak was bringing. On Wednesday, GQ officially released the cover to its 100 Sexiest Women of the 21st Century issue, promising not only pics of Beyonce but also Upton, Megan Fox and Mila Kunis.

The issue doesn't hit stands until Jan. 22, but you can check out the cover after the jump.
