Yesterday, I was a little surprised to read that Shape Magazine editor felt compelled to issue an apology to her readers for putting singer Leann Rimes on the cover. The editor said that it was a “terrible mistake” and she was sorry. Rimes took to Twitter to defend herself saying that she’s never heard this before and that the magazine was planning her a party.

Well, although I’m surprised that Shape issued an apology, I’m not surprised that their audience was not pleased with their cover choice. A lot of people really don’t care for Rimes anymore, rather they are justified in their opinion or not. I think they should have thought about that before they extended her an invitation. It would have saved them and Rimes the embarrassment.

Should Shape have apologized for their Leann Rimes cover?

Finally, singer Mariah Carey admits that she is pregnant. This week, she spoke to Access Hollywood with husband, Nick Cannon, to confirm what most people knew already. The reason Carey wouldn’t confirm the news before now is that it’s been tough having a baby and that she wanted to maintain some privacy. The news we didn’t know was that Carey suffered a miscarriage at the beginning of her and Cannon’s marriage.

Well, I am sorry to hear about their loss. I hear miscarriages and losing a child, in general, is never easy. So, for this reason I can understand why they were gun shy about confirming the pregnancy. I do hope that Carey has a safe pregnancy and that the baby is born healthy.

Do you understand why Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon waited so long to confirm the baby?
