I think they f*ck with the media on purpose I really do. But then again, I don't blame them any more. Check this. Beyonce and Jay-Z may be Forbe's richest couple, but the media-interest value for their wedding serves little significance to high profile celebrity magazines such as OK!, In Touch, Star, and Life & Style who all ignored last week's biggest story on their covers. The reason? Because blacks don't sell as much magazines as white high profile celebs, no matter how famous. SAY WHUTT?!?!?!? Janet Jackson's 2006 US Weekly cover disputes that bullshit altogether. In fact, one tabloid editor says Beyonce's wedding feature would've only picked up as little as $250K. Smells like industrial racism if you ask me. Jay-Z is deemed one of the greatest and richest rappers of this generation and Beyonce is one of the world's most beautiful and successful black females of our today. They're the most powerful and richest couple in music in fact. It doesn't matter that hordes of papparazzi hounded down Jay-Z's Tribeca apartment causing huge riot and speculation, but yet their interest value is next to nothing. Alrighty then!

Cute.
Leona Lewis appeared on The Tyra Banks Show this week, where she performed her world-wide smash Bleeding Love:
I can't wait to see this episode. Tyra Banks is crazy and I want to see how the modest Leona takes to Tyra's full on personality. The episode is expected to air on April 17th.
Rihanna was looking all floral when she was spotted visiting a local school in West Hollywood on Thursday:
I wasn't feeling the throwback jumpsuit at all, and usually, Rihanna is on point with her style. Here, not so much. I must be the only one not feeling her brand new tattoo. At not-so-close range, it looks like dried up scabs in its healing process from chicken pox. In other news, Rihanna claims not to have known about Beyonce's and Jay-Z's wedding:
"I didn't know!" Rihanna told PEOPLE at the Escada Moon Sparkle/Island Def Jam benefit for her Believe Foundation and DKMS, the world's largest bone marrow donor center. "No one knew!"Hmmmmm....
Danity Kane singer Aubrey O' Day was spotted at the Kritk Clothing launch in LA on Thursday:
So where the hayellll is that second Danity Kane single? History is repeating itself all over again. Shame on you Diddy. Shame on you. It would be such a shame that an album as hot as Welcome To The Dollhouse gathers to dust.
Here's a couple of pics from Chris and Jordin's No Air performance on Thursday's American Idol:

This week, Mary J Blige and Jay-Z took their Heart of The City tour to Atlanta (which was also attended by Jay-Z's wife Beyonce and pals Usher and Jermaine Dupri):
Again, reports suggest it was another great show. And one of its most star-studded turn-out.
