NEW YORK (Destiny's Child Fans Website) - Beyonce Knowles says she wants to be known for her talent rather than her "bootylicious" behind. The Destiny's Child star has also vowed never to pose nude. She recently walked out of a photoshoot with celebrity snapper David LaChapelle after he asked her to pose naked and smothered in honey. And she said countless other photographers have tried to pressure her into baring all. "Every photographer wants to be the first one who talks Beyonce out of her clothes. It's prestigious for him if I expose a nipple," she told Bang magazine. "People test you to see how far they can go. They exert pressure on me. Man, if I had a dollar for every time that kind of guy says, 'you'll only get the cover if you take off your pants', I'd be a rich woman." Britney Spears recently posed for the cover of a magazine in just a pair of tiny black knickers. But devout Christian Beyonce, 21, said she wouldn't be going down the same road. "Some women show some nudity in all their pics. But I am known for being prudish. I don't have a problem with sexy clothes. Any really hot fashion thing I'll wear. And I'll put on a bikini if the scene is on the beach. But vulgar for no reason? Never." Elsewhere in the interview, the church-going star appeared to admit that she was no longer a virgin. Asked if one of her songs had ever come on the radio while she was making love, she replied: "Oh, I hate that. It messes up the vibe."
