By now we're sure you know how Beyonce stunned the music world last Friday by releasing a surprise album, as well as 17 (count 'em!) sizzling music videos. Fans were thrilled, but obviously our first thought was "How is this going to affect our Rear Of The Year competition!?" We pondered long and hard, but we think we've come up with a decent solution...

It had been a relatively quiet year up to that point in the Beyonce Butt news, but with vids like "Partition", "Blow" and "Rocket", she could no longer be ignored. Did 'Yonce drop her multimedia extravaganza as a last ditch shot to win our ass awards? We can't say for sure, but we have our suspicions...

Leaving Queen Bey on the sidelines would just be a crime, so of COURSE we had to add her as a late addiction to the contest. If you want some reasons why, just head up to the gallery above for all the proof you need! We also have plenty of new shots from Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, who pulled ahead of Mother Monster with a stunning lead in Round 2! Will she able to hold on for another round, or will Gaga rise again? Or will Beyonce's bountiful booty win it all? It's truly anybody's game at this point.

So check out the photos above, consider all of your options carefully, and then cast your vote in the pole below! We'll be back next Tuesday with the final two...See you then!
