I think I need to smash a bottle over my own head after seeing this….

OK, never mind that this is supposedly trying to pay homage to Janet Jackson, but this looks desperate on so many levels. Not that Vibe hasn’t pushed the envelope before (with Janet, Foxy, Toni Braxton, etc.), but sheesh! Christina Milian and The Dream? Couldn’t they extend that final issue, better yet, squash that cover and put Michael Jackson on the cover?

I’m not going to attempt to talk about The Dream like that, but I am praying that he has a tank top on…something about him screams “man boobs”, stretch marks and everything else.

Now, I’m not going to cry over the last issue, because Quincy Jones is supposed to buy his magazine back. Well, he better! Because this cover is a hot mess!

“I’m trying to buy my magazine back now,” Jones told EbonyJet.com just moments ago during a telephone call to Jones’ London abode. “They just messed my magazine all up, but I’m gonna get it back. You better believe it, I’m’a take it online because print and all that stuff is over.”

 “We gotta get into the 21st century you know,” Jones said. “ “Print and all that stuff is over, we gotta remember that. The Chicago Tribune, The Seattle Post Intelligencer. The Miami Herald.  They’re over the same way as the record business. We have got to get into this century.” (via Egypt)

 

Do us proud, Quincy. Please and thank you.
