The Queen Bey was none too pleased with the unflattering images that circulated of her Super Bowl performance this year, so in an effort to prevent such a thing from happening again, she has gone to extreme measures. Beyonce and her team have decided to ban ALL professional photographers from her current “Mrs. Carter Show” world tour, opting instead for her own personal photog who will then service a few pre-approved images to the media following each show. Sounds good in theory…but hasn’t her team heard of cell phones? People are going to be snapping photos left and right, and media WILL buy them if they’re going to bring their site hits (aka, if they’re unflattering.) Nice try, but this plan seems to be a fail!
