Despite all the media hoopla surrounding Beyonce and Jay-Z's wedding last Friday, the couple only appeared on the cover of one tabloid (Us Weekly). Naturally, the celebrity media are being labeled as "racist" because some assume "African-Americans don't sell covers."
Except Janet Jackson was on the cover of two of Us' best-selling issues. That kind of nips the whole controversy in the bud, no?
Here's why B and Jay only landed on one cover: Because there was nothing to report that celebrity blogs hadn't already covered. It was old news, and the couple remained so tight-lipped about the entire event that the mags had better things to investigate, like whether Britney is suffering a relapse.
Case closed.
Today's the maybe-big day: Will we be wishing Beyonce and Jay-Z a happy marriage or will the media speculation turn out to be false?

Britney Spears was inexplicably not asked to perform at this year's Grammy Awards, but that didn't stop the walking disaster from acting like a guest judge on American Idol while watching the awards show from home:
About Beyonce's widely acclaimed duet with Tina Turner, Britney reportedly quipped, 'Too bad she can't dance as good as Tina — who's old enough to be her grandmother!'
Even though Amy Winehouse looked sober and clean, the former princess of pop reportedly said of Winehouse's much-anticipated performance via satellite from London, 'Look at her! Look how stoned she is! She is so obviously stoned!'
Oh snap, you girls just got served — by a woman who constantly shows up in public wearing no pants and a pink wig.

So that we can ignore it for the rest of the post: Yes, Aretha Franklin has put on a tremendous amount of weight and looks to be very unhealthy. But, at hand here: Her rage at being slighted at the Grammys, which might be bigger than her physical body!
When Beyonce and Tina Turner hit the Grammy stage for their high-octane duet on Sunday, …the woman known as the "Queen of Soul" was left in a state of dismay over Beyonce's introducing Turner as "the Queen."
Clearly offended, Aretha Franklin says in a statement, "I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyoncé, however I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy. In addition to that, I thank the Grammys and the voting academy for my 20th Grammy and love to Beyoncé anyway."
No love to Tina? Pointed!
While she will continue to hold the title of Queen of Soul, Franklin's original handle will from now on be interchangeable with the excellencies the Queen of Paranoia and the Queen of Being a Damn Baby.

The celebs came out in droves for UMG's Grammy Celebration; among them was renowned musical genius Lindsay Lohan. Where was her Grammy? "Rumors" is still one of the most beautiful songs of all time. She spent the evening hanging out with the great influences of Hollywood at a venue that was sure to be alcohol- and drug-free.

And another one:
Since her secret wedding last month, Beyonce Knowles has been glowing even more than usual.
…
Sources close to the Crazy In Love singer have hinted there could be double celebrations - as she and husband Jay-Z get set to have their first baby.

Color us pleasantly surprised:
Celebrity riders - the contracts that specify which luxuries stars require backstage - are notoriously full of crazy demands…While …Beyoncé demands "juicy baked chicken legs heavily seasoned with fresh garlic, seasoned salt, and black and cayenne pepper," the rider for Eve…is said to require "there be no use of Styrofoam or plastic goods, no leather furniture, and only recyclable materials."

"They foresee that when she comes over to Kuala Lumpur, there will be protests against her," an industry source said. "They didn't want that to happen."
Although Malaysia is a moderate Muslim country with sizeable non-Muslim minorities, conservative groups often frown upon departures from strict Koranic injunctions.
The source also said Beyonce balked at government rules banning sexy attire and running and jumping on stage.
Next time, Malaysian Beyonce fans, try living in a country that isn't so…different.
Here's one reader's vehement rage in response to an earlier post about Beyonce's hair:
Miss B is a no talent hack! The only thing worse than her you tube tumble,was the horrific music playing at her (and I use this term loosely) CONCERT! She sucks-get lessons from Janet Jackson and Madonna,in these areas-performing,singing,dancing,fashion(FIRE YOUR MOM DAMMIT!!!!!)
Ooookaaaaay, but what about her hair, grumpy?
PS The grump is actually right.
The dark hair is a step in the right direction, but ease up on the makeup, lady. You remind me of me when I'm on my fourth glass of red and experimenting.
One more after the jump.
