I didn’t realize people could marry camels in New York? Lol, I kid I kid. People.com reports that Beyonce and Jay Z have taken out a marriage license which is good for 60 days. So that’s 60 days of free publicity that they will milk for all it’s worth.

That’s 60 days of being hit over the head with saturation coverage of Beyonce and Jay Z by a clueless media which doesn’t realize its being used.

But don’t worry, you will not see another mention of this on my site until the day they actually tie the knot (IF they tie the knot). I’m only mentioning this publicity stunt because if I don’t post it, I will get emails all day from well-meaning readers who think I’m not aware of it.

I wonder if this was an April Fool’s joke, to be honest I really dont care if they get married or not. Tyra-Mail, Holla!

I hope it’s true but this seems like an APril fools joke or maybe that lame ass Ashton Kutcher show Pop Fiction that I don’t watch.

jay-z and beyonce have did their relationship they way they wanted from day one, and I highly doubt this is a publicity stunt they have been dating at least six years, and they made the decision when they would get married-so many people joked and said that he would never marry her and now that the time has come-people are still doubting the sincerity of their relationship. I think that people envy beyonce so much because she has so much going for her a successful career, a die-hard fan based, a man who supports her, and she will now marry-God bless them both

it’s vain to think that someone would go through this much trouble just to get media’s attention-their beyonce and jay-z they don’t need publicity stunts to get attention their media worthy due to their success alone.

From day one-you could tell this man planned to marry beyonce, he never treated her like a side-chick and she’s the first woman I’ve ever seen him date publicly, seen in public together doesn’t count-attending award shoes, vacationing, dressing alike, family functions etc. that’s dating! Congrats to bey and jay and I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Give me an effin break. Jay-Z, apply for a marriage license? Booooooo!!!!! Jay-Z if you are reading this: You’ve been together 6 years, what’s the rush? This is 2008, you are a BIG TIME mainstream RAPPER, look around you, majority of rappers don’t have to wife their women/baby momma(s) anymore. Didn’t you get the memo that the in thing to do is get engaged, shack up, have kids, acknowledge your baby momma/wifey as your fiance, give her props in songs and interviews, and for heaven’s sake just stay engaged.

I think this was an April Fools joke just to throw folks off the scent for a minute..They are both too secretive to let something like that slip out

One of the other bloggers, Dos Un, reported about Jigga and B on Highbrid Nation and I thought it was a late April Fool’s joke. Beyonce and Jay-z have been together for like 6 years. He’s like 40. I figured if it hasn’t happened already it probably won’t. Maybe I’m wrong though. I can’t wait to see the babies. They will look like cute little camels.

As much as I didn’t want to support it at first I have faith in their relationship. I think the media is just mad because no matter how many rumors are out or pics you take they are very private. They just hold each other down.

It might be an April Fool’s joke, if they wanted to get married it’s probably ALREADY DONE. No need to be on blast and make it public that a license was taken out. PLUS….I know everyone has seen those pics with the matching tatts on their ring finger. It supposedly means “forever”…..

I love it…I think nowadays they are the only ones who will make it. Most other rappers can’t even decide if they want their baby mama or jump off or a man or Lauren London.

Here we go again with the marriage rumors. To be honest I really don’t care.

Who Cares…UGGHH! – I’m so over Bey & Jay.
Vegas Dice

As private as they are & try to be, I don’t think they’d do it just as a publicity stunt.. What’s the point, but to have everyone following your every move now and gettin on your DAMN nerves.

I think it may be real, but since it was April Fools Day, people don’t know what to believe.

Now since people don’t know what to believe, it may work in their favor.

I love couples who love each other.. They’ve been strong thru thick & thin for 6 years now.. I hope they get married, if they aren’t already!!

Congrats to Jay and B! I have always loved these two together even though I am not a fan of either seperately. I sooooo can’t wait to see the wedding pics.

If it’s true, CONGRATULATIONS. Live long and prosper.
ms.peaches

I will agree with 2BME!! they tried to be so hush hush for the past 6 years it’s almost impossible to believe they would let media get wind of this!! then again hell, it’s time it’s been time if you ask me they have 60 days to do the do (lol) I personally thought they already got married but like I said they are so secretive!!! Beyonce would be making a smart move & would be set for life & not to say that cause he has money but they also have stability!! so good luck to them!!
