So now with the whole Beyonce and Jay-z Wedding They are saying this is the main reason they haven't come forward about it was the fact that some people believe that BLACk wedding don't sale? That no one cares?

Do you agree?

FOUR BIG celebrity mid-week magazines have been accused of racism after failing to put news of Beyonce and Jay-Z’s wedding on their cover.

The accusation surfaced after Ben Widdicombe, a New York Daily News columnist noted that only Us Weekly, one of the five mid-week glossies, put the power couple’s wedding on its cover.

He said one top editor blamed the lack of attention on a perception in the industry that ‘African-Americans don't sell covers.’ Only media mogul, Oprah Winfrey, was seen by many as being able to sell covers.

But Us Weekly editor in chief Janice Min, the only non-white to be in charge of a top US celebrity magazine told Widdicombe: "Janet Jackson has been on our cover twice, for two of our best-selling issues we've ever had."

Some sources suggested that black stars would get much less than white and latino stars for exclusive wedding photos.

They said Eva Longoria can get US$1 million for wedding photos, but Beyonce could have received as little as US$250,000 for hers, without the expectation of cover sales.

Last week, magazine publisher and black gossip pioneer Flo Anthony blasted such claims on Blacknews.com.

"That sounds to me a very racist statement. Beyoncé is one of the biggest stars in the world, much bigger than Eva Longoria."

so has it been verified that they indeed got married...or is it still a maybe

Ehh, I wouldn't try pulling out the race card here.

Bey and Jay haven't been in the spotlight enough in the weeks leading up to their marriage... nor do they want their marriage to be publicized either.

To me, it just seems like whoever wrote this is just trying to get his 14.5 minutes of fame...

I agree with you because Eva Longoria wouldn't shut up about Parker (ie. "Parker" written down her jeans) plus desperate housewives was at a peak.

[T.r.i.n.i.]

HIP HOP artists in general dont have their personal Lives out there. . . the Main Buyers of Mags like that dont give a shit about B and Jay getting married. . . They wana see the movie stars. . . and the POP stars with sneak pics of their VAJAYJAY. . . Hip Hop Stars don't have enough DIRT floating around as far as personal lives go. . . alot of them BEEEEN married or been shacked up. . . NO GOSSIP. . . NO SALE. . . . . .
