Beyonce posed with an American flag for Beat Mag cover: patriotic & cool?
Beyonce sneezed on the Beat and the Beat got sicker! I didn’t know this magazine, Beat, existed. But it does and it’s a British publication. They decided to go with red-white-and-blue Americana style for their first-ever Beyonce cover. It’s nice. I really enjoy this cover, but I actually like Americana-themed stuff (if the “Star Spangled Banner” is sung really well, I will start to cry every time). Beat shot this cover in the Hamptons (photo by Ryan McGinley) and of course there’s no cover interview. If you remember, Beyonce is not speaking on behalf on Beyonce any longer. No interviews. No words. No words will be spoken by Beyonce, but words may be spoken about Beyonce. So it’s totally cool to say that I enjoy the fact that Beat didn’t Photoshop Beyonce’s thighs, like Beyonce Photoshops her own Instagram photos.
As for Beyonce not speaking on behalf of Beyonce anymore, some people wonder if it’s because she has marriage drama with Jay-Z. Personally, I think she had marriage drama last year, but they seem to be doing better this year. This week’s National Enquirer has a breathless story about how Bey and Jay were “literally signatures away from a divorce” a few months ago and they were already living apart. Then they decided to give it another go. But a few months ago they were headed for their annual late summer vacation? So… probably not.
Meanwhile, Beyonce’s dad has been shilling his new seminar system – teaching people how to be like Beyonce, I guess – and doing a lot of interviews. He was asked how Beyonce copes with all of the rumors about her marriage. This is what he said:
“You don’t even know half that stuff! I don’t have time to read it, but that stuff doesn’t mean anything to Beyoncé. I’m so proud of her – she’s surrounded with a wonderful team who I trained. Beyoncé will make mistakes, we all do, but she has learned from them.”
“You don’t even know half that stuff!” – meaning we don’t know half of the stuff Beyonce puts up with in her marriage, or half the stuff she puts up with from the media? And what are these mistakes that she’s made with regards to marriage rumors? Hm?
