Fan Mail: Did People mag lie about Beyonce’s ring?

As you know, Beyoncé accompanied her new hubby Jay Z to Atlanta when his Heart of the City tour rolled through this week. The fact that Jay and Bey don’t wear their wedding rings has been the talk of the blogs and other gossip outlets.

Those who saw Bey at the concert and at the after party also reported seeing no ring. So why did People magazine lie about Beyoncé flashing her rock at the concert? Are sales that bad that People would stoop to fabricating stories to sell magazines?

Check out an email from a loyal reader after the break.

Hey Sandra,

I’m a big fan of your site, I visit it every day, and I always trust you and your sources. I visited people.com and they said that Bee wore her ring at the show, now I went to the show and of course regular fan like me, I did spot her, so I’m guessing that they are talking about the after party, so is it possible that “people” could be lying about this???

They’re probably not even really married…

The article I read from People stated when she was sitting next to Usher, and they jumped up during PSA during the concert not the after party. I doubt if any every day folks were in the VIP section.

Here’s the article. It’s talking about the show.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z may not be talking about their wedding, but her bling certainly seems to be.

Beyoncé happily flashed a whopping hunk of diamond on her left-hand ring finger Tuesday night at her new husband’s concert with Mary J. Blige at Atlanta’s Phillips Arena.

Wearing a short black dress and big hoop earrings, the newlywed singer sat in a VIP area with buddy Usher. The two leapt to their feet to groove hard when Jay-Z launched into his hit “PSA,” with its lyrics, “I got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain.”

Usher threw up the diamond Roc sign, while Beyoncé showed off a telltale diamond rock of her own and waved her arms to the beat.

During the show, Beyoncé also relaxed backstage on a plush red couch, sporting shades and singing along to Blige’s songs as Jay-Z made last-minute costume changes.

On Monday night, Jay-Z celebrated without his wife – or a wedding ring – at his 40/40 club in Manhattan, where he cheered during the NCAA men’s basketball championship game with friends including rapper Tru Life.

An unlit cigar dangling from his hand, Jay-Z was in a good mood as he coyly evaded wedding questions. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” he said with a laugh when congratulated by patrons.

I know right but anyway who cares.Its a ring now a limb she could’ve taken it off.
uptopgrl

The ring supposingly costed 4 million so maybe it was to heavy to wear for a period of time. LOL
LAChick

Wow…go on Sandra calling out that big ole conglomerate… saying they made up a story!
Anna

I don’t understand what the big deal is. They are private ppl and if they are married what does it change. My point is why they gonna leave us hanging. Enquiring Minds want to know. lol

Mediafakeout reported this story this morning and we know they are suspect.

Between this and the pic of that baby that was posted for ridicule on both sites I’m beginning to believe what Gyant said about you feeding stories to MTO. I hope they pay you for the stories.
missmiami

I think there rings are the tattoo’s of the “IV” on there fingers. Shit, they have lots of money so instead of wasting it on a ring they wanted something different. IMO.
Krysi – yes the same one

thats just the business, half of the stories you read in those magazines are false, or half true. We just like to feed off of it anyway. LOL!
hellava10

Maybe she was trying on Tameka’s ring and Usher said “that’s nice, give it back and get your own”
GAGIRL73

“IF” THEY WENT THREW WITH IN FRONT OF GOD AND HAVE THE LEGAL PAPERWORK BY LAW. OKAY THEY DONT HAVE ON THEIR RINGS..THEY ARE STILL MARRIED RINGS OR NOT. I’M MARRIED AND “IF”I TAKE OFF MY RINGS FOR A REASON I’M STILL MARRIED, RINGS DO NOT MAKE A MARRIAGE!!!! WELL AT LEAST IT DOES NOT MAKE MINE. BEING A STRONG COUPLE HUSBAND AND WIFE, STRONG PARETNS NOT WORRYING ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK OF US OR LETTING ANYONE DISRESPECT US AS A FAMILY OURS MAKES OUR MARRIAGE!!!
HeyNow

I do not get them at all, other than they thought of this shit because they were no longer being talked about.Maybe it was a small party or someone else could ahve had something. I refuse to believe Beyonce got married with that ugly ass weave she is wearing this week. I think we might be getting punked.If they didn’t want any attention they should have talked to Janet Jackson,she managed to get her married when she was on that A-List too.

*sigh*
i’m bout sick of this damn story…..
FlyGemini

Hmmm, funny I don’t see nobody that argued me DOWN the other day when I said I don’t believe they’re married.
NaturalNubian

Who gives a damn. I’m sick of the whole married/not married/pregnant/not pregnant/wearing rings/not wearing rings/hoop earrings/ponytail bull.
mjoylaw

mjoylaw

lmao @ naturalnubian, i feel ya!
Destiny

I don’t understand why people are making the fact that they are not wearing their rings such a big deal. WHO CARES! I read this story on PEOPLE about B wearing a big rock on her finger and I knew that they were frontin’ anyway.
