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."
